a CDL classes.

You're going to California tonight. Yeah, your flight.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
I'm going to California with an ache in my heart.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Matt, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Now there there has been a reduction in flights of
four percent reduction of flights today.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I checked last night. We were good to go.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
No, they will be emailing you if something happened. So
I check my email you know that. Yeah, or you''re
in text for that matter. That's double okay, So you're
gonna be there, So you're all set. I'm B twenty seven.
I have fifteen minutes. I checked in late. I messed up.
Ooh okay, and what is your current wait time at
Hobby Airport?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
To you ask, I was, I was looking that up
right now. Current wait time at Hobby Airport is eight minutes.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Because wex this morning went to Orlando to go watch Cougars. Yeah,
and he said he was in line no more than
I think he said thirty minutes when start to finish,
which isn't terrible that could happen in the middle of
the year, when even when people are working.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
So yeah, website says eight minutes.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Okay, let's good. Let's get the government workings. We get
these these flight controllers work on these TSA people. Let's
just get back to some normalcy.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Let's get them get making money so they can feed
their families and take care of themselves.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Be great. Yeh yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
And by the way, if it gets worse, they're saying
as much as ten percent work airline reduction flight so
today's four percent. They're gonna bump it up in a
couple of days if things don't get fantastic, Matt and
not fan it's not a highway. I want to open
up the show.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Political system is totally humming along at all cylinders. Yes there,
we're all great.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's why we don't talk about it here on the
show because it is and anything goes Friday here on
Sports Talk seven ninety uh mago fanboy for a moment
here to begin the program.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Sure, why not?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Last night I had dinner at a restaurant here in
San Antonio and walked in and with people I was with,
and about ten minutes into the dinner, I happen to
see a rather large man who looked to be in
his early min's seventies. I mean, I'm going to say,
you know six six six, seven six eight, I mean
those aren't you know, shown up everywhere. And it was

(03:22):
the iceman George Gervin.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
In San Antonio.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
And I know it comes as a starlard to you,
but yes, he has stayed in San Antonio all these years.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, it was a little starling.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
And I went one hundred percent fan boy because you know,
look I was a Houston Rocket fan for decades still obviously,
but as a kid, I was a Houston Rocket fan.
Moses Malone, Calvin Murphy, Mike Nolan, you know, even Colwell
Jones back in the day, Elvin Hayes when he came
back to the second go around. But there was a

(03:53):
guy in the eighties besides, you know, early eighties were
talking about the early days of magic that would just
roast the rocket.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's on a regular basis.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And frankly, George Gervin did that forever and ever and
ever with the San Antonio Spurs. Now they didn't win anything,
but he would just wake up a forty points. I
mean he he was the most fluid player I ever
saw in the NBA. As an early NBA connoisseur because
all he did was just hit mid range floaters, layups,
the finger roll, and I loved him. And he was

(04:23):
a San Antonio spurry and not supposed to root for them,
but I loved him because I loved him, and I
went up and introduce myself and he could not have
been nicer. And I was happy and satisfied me just
with that. And then somebody in our dinner party said, hey,
Ice Man, will you take a picture with Matt? And
I did, and so I have been fanboyd ever since you.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Uh, you got about as big as a smile as
I do with with Kevin Durant. Yeah, I mean there's
just gonna be as the kids say, cheesin.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, I was cheezing.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
I mean, there's gonna be about ten or fifteen players.
I grew up with that.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
I would do that for I mean, if Magic was
in the in the restaurant last tight have done the
same exact thing. I would have probab compliment him on
his social media tweets and then got in the picture.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
You should have offered to be his tweet writer.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, Michael Jordan, I probably would have just fallen like down,
like Putty. I probably would not have been able to
even conjugate a erb or anything anything. Who else would
be in that early eighties fandom. If Joe Montana walked in,
I would have been awestruck over that. Baseball wise, obviously,
Nolan Ryan, we used to do radio with him. That
was amazing. I still get when I'm in an elevator

(05:30):
with the Keim Elijah We're just talking about my golf game,
which I don't play golf anymore.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
It's amazing to me.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
But yeah, there's just a handful of other city heroes
to me, and George is on the top of that list,
because and I would say a fair number of our
audience that used to love the NBA would have a
pretty good feeling of who George German was. I don't
know if you have much remember so I.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Have the no name I have. I know the name
I've seen in the highlights, but no memories. Yeah yeah, yeah,
he's done eighty six, so I was like two or
one and a half.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, I don't remember him being a great three point shooter,
or for that matter, even shooting three points.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
He was not, But I was looking him up when
you were telling us that you were hanging out with him. Yeah,
I was just curious. I didn't realize he was a
four time scoring champ. I mean, that's that's stout.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Those early eighty teams were they just would mean they
were like Denver the Nuggets. They would score one hundred
and thirty seven points and give up one hundred and
thirty eight. I mean, that's that's what that NBA was. See,
let's better watching the Texans. So it's nine to six,
you know, by the way, it would be like the Broncos. Yeah,
Broncos the Raiders. Last night, I got back from dinner
and oh my god, it we have.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
It's funny this hotel has Amazon Prime TV channel on.
I don't know why that is.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Oh way, and you are in a nice place, so
I didn't have to even go to my phone to
watch the game. It was ten seven. The Texans lost
to a team that scored ten points at home last night. Wow,
that's how bad things have gone.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Well, they should have beat him, and they would have
beat him if they're arterback was healthy.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
What's up? And now you've got the girthy neck of
Davis Mills and Davis Mills, we trust.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I would say, would you say it's more length or
girth or both.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Oh, it's both. And people are going to social media
and extending it of a man who doesn't need a
next extender. It's him.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
And by the way, the line has flipped since the
confirmation of C. J. Stroud being out and where was
it before?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
And where is it now?

Speaker 3 (07:25):
One and a half Texans Now it's one and a
half Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Can I say, remember last week I did to make
a prediction on the game. M I'm staying away from
this one too.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Texans get the victory.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (07:36):
By the way, last night Ashton gent nineteen carries for
sixty yards. It have a touchdown?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
However, yes he did.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
What's he on pace for?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Let's take a look here, five hundred and forty seven
yards sports survey Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
You said he would never in his career have a
thousand yards. So I'm feeling pretty good.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
So I'm going to because I'm gonna win this year's bet.
We'll see, there's no bet, there's no bed. It's just
a bragging right now.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
It was just that was just a ridiculous statement.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I want to do is I need to amend it,
and I think I should be allowed to me. No, no, no, no,
stay with me.

Speaker 6 (08:09):
And this is I mean, because I was talking about
Boise State and how they have ash Gent and he's
really good, and you're being dismissive.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Here's my amend man. Okay, and I believe I absolutely
should get this because I really I had really forgot
about the seventeenth game. Ashton Gent will never rush for
twelve hundred yards and.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
In his NFL career. Okay, you want to bet on that,
that's what I want.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
I want want to bet on that.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Okay, let's bet hi haibachi. What do you want?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
No, no, no, We're gonna talk about this is gonna be
probably an eight or nine year bet. So yeah, okay,
I know it's gonna track you now, I know you will.
I'll be in the home. How about this, The loser
has to feed the other one's night pudding to them.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I don't want to That sounds like that sounds like
you're the loser. I mean either way, that's a lose lose.
It comes to airplane is we can do? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah, okay, So we need to think of an appropriate
eight to nine year bet. Maybe.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Well, look, we'll we'll put uh, we'll put one thousand
dollars in a savings account. Well, how about let it mature.
Put this one, put it in bigcoin. Bitcoin dip pretty
big this week.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Why don't we put three hundred dollars into his account
and then we'll take the money and go to a casino,
whether it's like Charles or Las Vegas, and we'll spend,
you'll spend. The winner gets suspended, So three coming years
will be three hundred dollars and three cents.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Okay, yeah, yeah, or and put it in a four
oll on k whatever? All right?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Anything goes Friday?

Speaker 5 (09:32):
Here?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Iron Eagle's going to join the presentation of our show today.
We're looking forward to that. Iron's got double Duty Ross.
He has the Rocket Spurs on Amazon tonight, and he's
got the Texans and the Hated Jaguars Sunday for CBS.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Are they they hated Jaguars?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Eh?

Speaker 3 (09:48):
I mean is it?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Uh? I mean? Realistically that's the Texans biggest rival. Yes,
gotta be Jags or Titans. Colts whipped their ass for
the most of their history. I'll go is it Titans
because of the Houston Ties.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Let me ask you this, who are the rivals of
the other teams in the division.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
I would say Jacksonville. I think Jacksonville Houston's a two
way street.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, because both teams have had victories on both sides,
both teams win, and the other team's home field typically.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
I mean, it's like the saddest rivalry. It's like, you know,
when they have a boxing card and there's the main
event and then like the co main event, and like
it's like the fight that happens before anybody even gets
to the raada. It's like the off TV fight. It's
not one of the story rivalries. And if a TV
it's a dark match and wrest okay, Yeah, that's what
they basically the same thing in boxing.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yeah, that's not good.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Iron Eagle, eleven o'clock, you're gonna apologize some people at
eleven thirty, all of you will. We got the news
at noon, We have a doctor wrote at one o'clock,
nown Florida stories at one thirty and a hell yeah
not today at one fifty. Are you staying with me
the whole time? Are you busting out early?

Speaker 4 (10:49):
What do you do?

Speaker 6 (10:50):
Let me go?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
One?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Okay, so right, believe or not before you go. That's
all I ask you.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
About crud. I'll get that done right with the category.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
You could be the ice man, George Gervin if you
want to.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
It could be. I mean, what's going on with Jacksonville.
I don't know, you do, Iron Eagle. I mean there's
plenty of things. Just make sure it's get done freely.
That's all I ask.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
And then we'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
And then we got so Jonathan, I'm gonna read two
non Florida stories today to make up for Ross's one.
So it could be. You know, I'm a little picky
on my mind.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
I could record one. I'd call in.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well, the problem is are you uber into the airport
or how are you getting over there?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Actually, my mother has offered to pick me up, I
mean drop me off from your apartment.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Right, So you're not gonna be on before the close
of the show, right, there's no way you get to
hop me by then.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
No, I was gonna say, I, well, I want to.
I have to go home and finish packing.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh that's the reason why you're leaving artcause you got
to finish packing. I know how you roll.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, I got caught up last night. I had a
bunch of stuff going on.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
You're not even using a t essay as an excuse.
You're just looking to get extras tastes pack in time.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
What a fraud?

Speaker 3 (11:52):
I mean because I just sit there during Doctor Rohto
and I just sit there. Don't believe it or not?
You can handle it. I believe it.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Oh, I can handle it.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
You can take off an hour early all the time.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I know, and then you're off all next week. And

Texans Injury Report. ROSSI got better yesterday. Uh, let's talk
about people we care about. Write quad for Kymie fairbarn out,
Christian Harris shin.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
What'd I says?

Speaker 3 (12:44):
I said?

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Great? Oh?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Titus Howard concussion likely out at ingram Nee probably out.
Jael and Petrie concussion out likely, c J Stroud concussion
definitely out limited. Where will Anderson, Denico Autrey, Nick Chubb
and Damian Pierce full participants? Dalton Show it's back on
the field practicing Barrios as well. And not that I
want to get into a deep dive on Christian Harris,
but remember when he used to play and was good?

Speaker 4 (13:07):
What what the hell.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Happened to Christian Harris's career besides being hurt.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
I don't know, injuries and he was It's never like
he was a Pro Bowl guy.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
No, but I mean I think they were ready to
pencil him in at one of the linebacking spots, but
they kind of held on him a lot last year.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
He has been one of the great enigmas of the
last couple of years for the Texans.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
It's like, you don't even heys he on the team?

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Is he on the team?

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Is he hurt?

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Always got to win in doubt, He's got.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
To be heard, I mean way, he's got to be heard.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
So today is the big injury day when you if
you don't typically have a full workout by Friday or
at least limited, you're not going to play on Sunday.
But yeah, it's going to be ugly even if the
Texans went. I can't imagine it being one of those
situations is going, Wow, America's right. But I'm not going
to bring a book if you're going to the game

(14:00):
or something, I mean an Eagles and we're not gonna
put him in a spot like look, I mean you should.
Actually we're the number two broadcast team. We get we
got given this game.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, Davis Mills and Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
I mean, what did we did we do something wrong?
I mean, what was it?

Speaker 3 (14:16):
The the Spiro didas group chat is called the AFC sound.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Every Spiro hasn't even done an A. I don't think
he's done it. Has he even done a Texans Maybe
be done one Texans game this year.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
I think he's been busy with the Jets and the Browns. Yeah,
is he on that game? They play each other?

Speaker 4 (14:30):
That he is? Actually that's a very good perception.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
So Spiro's a national guy and I've only had one
or two conversation with him.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
I don't good.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
I think he does a good job.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
He is really good. But you know, when you have
Nance and you have Harlan and Eagle in front of you.
You're you're gonna be kind of stuck, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah, there's there's thousands of play by play guys. If
you're number five, you know it's pretty good. Yeah, you're
just behind all time greats.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, so you're behind all these goats and you're doing
the number five games. So there's only five in a week,
so you're gonna get the worst the group. And the
worst of the group is the Jets in Cleveland, so
you're gonna.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Be stuck with those. Yeah, okay, yeah, it could be worse.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
And what they do is the NFL will schedule the
networks will schedule out two to three weeks in advance,
so you might get lucky that maybe somebody, you know,
three weeks down the road is a lot better than
you thought it would be, so it'd be a better game,
or maybe the feature game. But usually the networks will,
you know, like New England, Tampa Bay they had jim Nantzy,
Toney Rummel and that bad boy for a long time,

(15:29):
and uh, you know, so maybe again, I don't know
if I ain't asked to do Jacksonville Houston because it
was so close to San Antonio.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
But yeah, could that could be that situation. But no,
it's I mean, it's a bad game. But Browns and
Jets is still worse.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Browns and Jets is worse.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Buffalo Miami will probably I don't know, Miami's not even
that good. I mean, Buffalo should go down there and win,
I guess, but Miami.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
That's a fifty point total. That'd be at least fun. Yeah,
you got thirty seven and a half and.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh what Browns and Jets is?

Speaker 7 (15:59):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (15:59):
No, Texans? All right, I'm bet to take this back.
Texans are the lowest total on the board now, must
because because of Davis Mills. Oh, thirty eight and a
half for Brown's Jets. Yikes, are gonna throw up. I'll
be out of town.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
It's fine. Sam Warren, Chronicle writer, just put out his
tweet says Texans Jaguars has heated up, especially after Trevor
Lawrence said quote, I don't think it's a secret we
don't like each other. But Houston insists distaste is one
sided and isn't buying the beef. Quote. I'm not worried
about none of that. I wouldn't call it rivalry man.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Well, okay, Well, he's all share here nearly decapitated Trevor
Lawrence last year. So I imagine Trevor Lawrence doesn't like
the Texans.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
I mean, are okay, look, my Cougars don't have a rival.
The Texans don't have a rival. The Astros, maybe the Rangers, right,
I mean there's just Yankees. Yeah, I mean the Actors
have got some because they've they've seen some people over
the years in the playoffs. Who would you can the
Rockets rival? I mean, it's Golden State, but unfortunately it's

(17:06):
one sided because they win every time.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, you know, I was recently thinking about that. It
was one sided, but like you make it, it's not
like you got swept every time. He earn a eighteen. Yeah,
he went to Game seven twice. I will say Spurs
and Mavericks.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
It could be. I mean San Antonio's five and two.
They've dropped two straight games, but they are They're an
upcoming team.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
And I mean, I mean they had some fans, some
big battles in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Two Oh for sure, I can see.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
You know.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
My worst memory of Spurs Rockets is is uh was
it Game six and eighteen?

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Is that when it was Oh god, I'm gonna throw up.
I think it was it was seventeen.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Whatever it was. It was my first year.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
We won for eleven from the field, and he was
so bad. I spent the whole postgame show speculating if
he had a concussion.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
So the worst part to me, beyond watching those misses
was to the right. I was doing the PA at
the time, and uh, Mona Genobaldi blocks his shot right
in front of me.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Uh, that wasn't that game. It wasn't the last game.
It wasn't the last game.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
That was the last game.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
I think that's how bad it got.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
Okay, I thought that was one of the games in
San Antonio, but.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
I can't know.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
It was definitely in Houston. It was definitely in Houston
for sure. Well either way, could no because that game
was a blowout. Game six was when he was one
of eleven or we're talking abou two different games.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
I'm talking about that. I don't know what it was,
but I can tell you that I watched Mono Genobaldi
block James Harden.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Shot face face to face.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Because I mean, I wasn't clearly downstairs calling it in
San Antonio, so I had to be on the floor.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
So it had to be in Houston.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Okay, the block shot.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Okay, yeah, and if let me tell you something. If
I if I'm wrong, then I need to go to
a hospital.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Game six was definitely a blowout. And I think LaMarcus
Alders didn't even play that game, right, or Kawhi Leonard
or somebody was out.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
All right, I'm looking at the video right here. Okay,
it says so there is one in San Antonio that's
showing up here. That's that was in. That was in
San Antonio. Okay, there was check you win else check
you in. Matthew, are you telling me? Wait a minute, yeah,

(19:16):
I thought what he said. I was right, Oh right, Hey,
I'm going to a home. I thought he blocked the
shot right in front of me. I mean you were
probably you were at the game, oh yeah, but I
was up. I was way far left. So there's no
your binoculars out. I'm trying to help you. I'm still

(19:36):
I'm still going to home. Okay, there's no way, there's
no panther breats about it.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Yeah they all.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
I'm sorry for shorting James Harden. I said he went
one for eleven. He went too for eleven. My oh geez, okay,
so we're both even then on our mistakes. Wait a second,
I was one number off. You had a different city
and said you were there.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I really thought, well, I was there, I could tell
you that. But I just I thought I thought I
was in Houston. I thought I was doing p But
you know, all these things blur together.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
You know what it was.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
I think I think I had my hand on my
chin the whole time and just complete this belief that
they were kicking the crap out of the Rockets and Houston.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
That was the first year I was doing every playoff
game for for postgame.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Well, if there's a Rockets San Antornio series, you're coming
with me from now on.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
You're gonna be like this hotel's okay. I mean it's
like you enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
I'm sure it's quite nice.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
YEA ten twenty nine on The Matt Tommy Show with Ross,
It's the Anything Goes Friday at seven one three two
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one
two five. I'll tell you you know, this is what
happens too when you do all these many games I do.
This is really fast story. Brad Sham, longtime dalls, Announced've
been the Cowboys announcer since the eighties, right, remember you
were you may have been producing. We had him on

(20:44):
like the first week I was on the air and
he was I was talking about twenty dor sets ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yard run against the Vikings on Monday Night.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Football, and he was talking about this like he was
yesterday and he's like, man, it was this really cold
day at Metropolitan Stadium and it was win was blown
and snowing. That run was in the Metrodome. So yes,
all of us.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, false memories are real. It happens to me too,
Like I.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
Have memories that you've never taken any shots at me
or or made fun of me.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Those are those are real?

Speaker 4 (21:14):
Yeah, that's probably true.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Seven one, three, two point two, five, seven eight. It's
ten thirty here on Sports Talk seven.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Ninety NBA League Cup played tonight in season tournament.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
I don't think it moves the needle for the NBA fans.
It might move the needle for the players. It may
make a game a little more meaningful today than it
would be a normal November game.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
And I think the ross that's probably the gist of it, right.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I Mean, I don't think people are like, let's get
a watch party together to watch an end season game,
as compared to oh, by the way, it's the San
Antonio Spurs, it's probably not.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
I mean, I like it. It feels a little different
with the courts. I think the first year it felt
I don't want to say big, but it felt like cool.
And then where are the third year of this now?

Speaker 5 (21:54):
Right?

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Second year was like a kind of waned off a
little bit, and we'll see this year it's a game's
a good. The Rockets are in a very difficult group.
They're calling it the Group of death.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Matthew, Oh, this one is being because it's the most
competitive of the group.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yes, okay, the worst team in theory will be the Blazers,
and they've been very good. And is that Matt's connection
or is that it sounds like it could be me? Look,
is that my microphone?

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah? What's going on back there?

Speaker 8 (22:23):
H one?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Two, three?

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Okay, I'm gonna switch mics.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Not again.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Discuss amongst yourself, folks.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
All right, that's good, Okay, yeah, I'm good. I think
that was a little bizarre. Let's uh, it's just part
of the course. Let's talk to Johnny on seven of
ten to thirty five Hello.

Speaker 9 (22:43):
Johnny, Hey, what's going on, guys?

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Good morning.

Speaker 9 (22:46):
I've got two proposals to see what you think about it.
Number one, minimum kickick fine for speeding in the coop
zone five hundred dollars. Number two, once a person is
get seventy five years old, should have to take the
physical driving tests, maybe one of two years. And if

(23:09):
you think I'm ragging on to elderly, I'm eighty one
years old myself, so I'm included in that. Let me
say what you think about that day?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
The guys, thank you. That is the perfect call for
and anything goes Friday. What was the very first thing
he said, Jonathan? He wanted something I know about the
age thing about the driving.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
I think he was agreeing with Ross saying the like
how sixty five and up should be?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, alright, I'm okay, I'm set up. Hey guys, Hi Ross,
this sounds better. You sound you sound like you're in stereo.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Hey, yeah, you know what, you always get the advantage
of this this better mic. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
I think.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, we were talking about that earlier, was it? Hey,
nobody got time for that this week?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
We said the other day, sixty five you get tested
to get you to seventy. My philosophy was seventy to
get you to seventy three, and then every three years.
And he called and said, hey, I'm not trying to
bag on my fellow seniors because I'm eighty one years old.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah, it's it's it's ridiculous. I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
There.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
I can't honestly, I cannot believe there is not some
sort of limit.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well, if there, if you wanted to move.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
At the very least make it ninety.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Let me tell you if I always say this to you,
if I never drove again, i'd be okay. I don't know.

Speaker 9 (24:39):
Man.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
I go for a drive when I hit this Mega
Million's lottery tonight. Oh you're playing. I am never driving again.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Oh good tweet from pedro A. My MIC's going on.
I gotta go home.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Guys. Wait a minute, you're already leaving an hour early.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
But my mic doesn't work. What do you want me
to do?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
You know what? Yeah, go in the buzz and see
if you can do some do an on airship for
the Buz. You can at least make your money for
the Piero.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Yeah, would be nice. Actually, I think get some buzz money. Yeah,
let me take about buzz money.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
You play a bunch of hits and you talk for
like twelve seconds at a time, and they make six
times when we make.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
How does that happen?

Speaker 3 (25:16):
I don't know, Matt. Life isn't fair.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
I mean Rod Ryan's and the Texas Radio Hall of Fame.
He's making deserve five times, and I am he deserved.
He doesn't have to speak. I mean we talk forty
minutes an hour. He talks four minutes an hour.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
He's very nice. I love Rod.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
I love Rod too. He loves his Buffalo bills. I
haven't mad respect yet.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
That's true. We're always talking trash about the bills.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
Yeah, we are.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
You know. It was funny because when my wife and
I sometimes talk, if we lived in a certain city,
would be we be a fan of this. And we
were talking about if we ever moved to Detroit would
be we'd be Michigan fans or Michigan statement. I said, look,
you gotta go with Michigan. Michigan is the state school.
I mean, that's the that's the that's the that's the.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
One you go to.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
And I said, imagine, if we lived in Buffalo, we
would be Bill's mafia all the way. If you ought
to be jumping on tables setting myself on fire on
this semi regular basis, I mean it would be we
would fully embrace that because there's really only two things
in town there. There's the Bills and the Sabers. They
don't have much college there to speak of. They probably
talk more Bills than even the Texans flagship talks about

(26:19):
the Texans for twelve months a year.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, what else are you going to
talk about? As you said, soony Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Well, I mean the Buffalo Bulls basketball program used to
be good a couple of years ago, but that's not
you know, I wouldn't think that's a The football team's
interesting sometimes.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Khalil Mack Buffalo legend.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah, you are right over there.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
I hear some sirens.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, we're in San Antonio.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
I mean it's in downtown.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
It's downtown. I mean, by the way, did you see
the photos of their new stadium, the Who's new stadium
Buffalo Bills?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah, no, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
It's almost done and it's going to be a little
smaller capacity. Oh really, and it's got no roof. I
don't know of a community that embraces its cold, horrendous
weather more than Buffalo fans loves its nasty weather.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
And isn't it like, for example, that roof collapsing in Many, Minnesota.
I mean, isn't it way? You have to make us
much stronger and probably more costly roof if you're in
a place where it snows a lot.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yeah, Minneapoles. Saint Paul's like, yeah, we'll do that.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
You gotta make it like a yeah. But they didn't
do it for the Twins.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
No, they did not know the Twins. The Twins didn't
want to spend the money at all. They're like, well,
we don't care that you're cold in four months of
the year.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, we're good. People's are bad. Hands are stinging every
time they swing the bat.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Well, how about the fact that they have like six
snowouts in the month of March and April. Yes, so
they're they're having to play like nine double headers in July.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Ridiculous, what of it?

Speaker 1 (27:47):
No, one of the Twins can't hang on because they're
over you know, they're being rained or snowed out. But yeah,
Buffalo's new stadium looks very nice, smaller capacity, So what
happens when they do smaller capacity. They're going to raise
their ticket prices, is what they're going to do. Because
it's all about revenue. It's not about getting many more
people in the building. But it's I mean, it's why
it's an open hold stadium. It's a regular stadium. And

(28:09):
you know, like you always see those yearly stories about
bills fans that go to the stadium and when it's
like six feet of snow and like, hey, we need
you to come to our stadium and dig us out
of this so we can actually play the game. I
think people live for that stuff.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, they do.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
They get paid very little or nothing. Right, is it
volunteer work.

Speaker 4 (28:24):
I can't you can't get a ticket.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
I think you get like a meal or like a
voucher for like a Bill's.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Jersey or something. Yeah, like some hot chicken broth.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I mean who pays for your pneumonia bills? I mean,
I don't know in the intensive care.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
The frost bite. I was in the stadium and I'm
sure my toes are frozen off.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
What if your dad, Like, what if you're like seven
or eight years old and you just want to stay
in the house and watch cartoons.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Your dad's like, man, let's go Bills, Let's do a
family event. Let's go to the stadium and digs snow
out for a couple of hours. Builds character, as also
builds a perhaps the imputation Bills resentment builds resentment. Yeah,
I'm gonna be a Miami Dolphins fan.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Dad. Sorry, let's get a short time out. We've got
Inigo coming up in twenty minutes. We got you to
join us next as well. We're talking about Miami. Buddy,
Rain's gonna talk some Rockets basketball from Miami. So we
are we are super popular Ross in Los Angeles. We
crush it in Miami. We do okay in the heartland
of America. We're just trying to dig into our own
space here a little bit called Houston, Texas. So if

(29:26):
you're in Houston, would like to join us. Seven one
three two one two five seven nintis seven one three
two one two five seven NINTI. It's an editing goes Friday.
It's Sports Talk seven ninety Madden Ross with you the
Amazon Prime on NBA or NBA Amazon Prime. We've got
the NFL on CBS. He'll also be the voice of

(29:48):
the Final four again. He was the vult voice of
the Final four last year in San Antonio. Oh man,
I haven't been back here since then. Oh I don't know,
doesn't matter. I'm sorry, Matt.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
And then they were two and there was only one standing.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
That's how it goes. Only one team happy at the
end of the year. Matt just one Ray in Miami.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
At ten forty eight Ray, Good morning to you.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
Good morning.

Speaker 10 (30:17):
I have some bad news for you.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Matt.

Speaker 10 (30:19):
You're not christianat in Miami. I'm from Houston. I have
some I question for you about the night's game. It's
going to be a showdown. It's going to be a
big time showdown, a Texas how a showdown. Do you
think Kevin can cover the twenty five? Because I think
if the Rockets are beating them, if the Rockets are winning,

(30:42):
Kevin is not going to play a lot. And I'm
worried about Kevin and a man covering fifteen points.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
You know, I got a minute wait point well, wait,
wait a minute, wait.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
A minute, I got they got a ten points.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Wait, you're asking me for betting advice on an NBA.
Have you not seen the NBA? My friend, I can
discussed Ross.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
I know.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
Matt Matt is an NBA employee, he cannot talk about
NBA gambling.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Well show there.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
I'm staying.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
The Ross Villa Row Show.

Speaker 10 (31:21):
Featuring Jonathan and sometimes with Matt Thomas. Because it's the
NBA season.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
Matter is on the road.

Speaker 10 (31:27):
But in all honesty, I think it's going to be
a very good game and to win. But Yanna, until
you get a quadruple double like a keem the dream
of David Robinson, I'm not impressed, all right, He's.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Got to get a quadruple double. To impress.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
You always got to do got a quadruple double.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
There's only like, has it happened like three times or something?
David Robinson King the King twice?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Have we had one since I've been calling games? We
had one in ten years. Not with the Rockets.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
I'm just somebody in the NBA in general.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
Don't think I'll give you.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
The If there's one person that could get it, bet Nikola.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Jokic, right, I mean I think Wemby could do it too.
He gets ten blocks frequently. If he can get ten
assists and ten points and ten rebounds, yeah, he's he's
a lock.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
The Rocket I would put is the favorite to get
a quadruple double that it probably won't happen me because
they're so rare. I would go out be on the
on the first of the quadruple double.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
You basically you got to get You had to find
somebody who can get the ten blocks. So Wimby can
do that. I think he's got nine in a game
this year.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yeah, let me go.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I'm going to look see what's his Uh yeah, he
had nine against the Pelicans, so he can do that.
He he he, He's a threat you get a quadruple double.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Let's go to Dave AND's Spring on seven. Unty Dave,
Good morning at ten fifty one.

Speaker 11 (32:51):
Good morning, gentlemen. Hey listen if anything goes Friday, so
I'm going to test you on that a little bit.
I want to talk about a couple of hair related
issues related to the Rockets. One's a question, one's one's
a comment. So my question, first of all, maybe I'm
getting my eyes or failing me, or maybe my TV
is going bad. But is Alpie rocking like frosted tips

(33:11):
this year or highlights or something? I mean, have I
do you notice that? And the reason I ask is
it's kind of like Jalen Green with his painted fingernails.
I start worrying about players who get a little too
caught up in their appearance and stuff. So that's question one.
You're around the team a lot, Matt, So yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
You know, I I don't stare at his hair, Honestly,
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
It's kind of light at the end, but I don't
know if that's it's like a light or brown or something.
I don't think he's got frosted tips.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
No, No, I think there is. You know, he is
from Turkey, so they have the different hairstyles and approaches
to their to their genuine, genuine care. But if I'm
going to shoot the boloney with Alprin, Shingun is probably
gonna be discussing about our follicles.

Speaker 11 (33:57):
Yeah, well that brings me to my next thing. It's
a comment actually, and Matt, you're uniquely pishing to do
an intervention with your dear friend Craig Ackerman to go
that man is hanging on for dear life his hair
and it's time for him to realize that it's game
over and it's time to bust out the razor blade,
because right now he looks like a serbian prison guard

(34:19):
with a bad case of mange.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
Okay, I mean, what do you think.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I'm not gonna he's always had short hair like that.
I don't think.

Speaker 8 (34:32):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Look.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
But here's the thing, patchy, I don't think he's got mange.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
Yeah, you know, watch the pre game shows.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
I watched broadcasts.

Speaker 11 (34:47):
I love him, but my goodness, the hair. Thanks guy.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Craig. Craig is one of my best one of my
great friends. And again when uh he he can make
his own decisions about his hair. And I'm not going
to comment on it because a I have been dealing
with this for thirty years of my life. And so
if he wants told on know what he's going to
hold on to. Let the man be. I mean, are you?

(35:13):
Are you and Adonna's I mean, break down your life
for me? Is everything good for you? And do you
have any belly fat? Or you got full?

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Maine?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Well, what's going on in your life? Everything okay with you?

Speaker 5 (35:22):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (35:22):
I got I got a nice you know, fin spot
on the top for sure, Yeah, no question.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
But I'm not on TV. Not on TV.

Speaker 11 (35:29):
You know, I'm trying to help him.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
On television. Sean McDonough is one of the great broadcasters. Uh,
and he's bald. He is who else will be bald
on TV? I can think of a lot of us.
I mean, Michael, I don't know who that is, not
in sports.

Speaker 11 (35:47):
But all right, well, I just you know anything he
knows Friday, I thought this spent on my mind. I said,
let me call Matt. He's around these guys. I know
you're close friends with Craig and I love Greg Lawrence.
I do.

Speaker 5 (35:56):
He's great at his job.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
But the hair thing, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
All right, guys, I he does just get the buzz
all around like a four guard, just so he's like,
does he do his own hair? I'm not trying to
be funny, Okay.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Go, yeah he doesn't. Yeah, that makes your guys don't.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Yeah, he just puts the three, he slaps the three
of the four guard on there and just goes it
once around and then moves on about his day.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
What, No, I'm not talking about some of the show.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
I mean you said anything goes Fridays.

Speaker 12 (36:24):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Anything First, we can't really get into this on Friday's.
It's anything goes Friday. All right, Let's go to Vince
before we talk to Iron Eagle High Vince Hey on.

Speaker 13 (36:37):
The Buffalo Buffalo Bill's new stadium. Yeah, a feature on
it one on one of the one of their games here,
I think was last year, but I googled it just
to make sure what I was. You know know what
I'm talking about, But I'll just read the quick little paragraph.
The new Buffalo Bill Stadium is designed to be weather resistant,
so it's not a dome, and we'll have a lot

(37:00):
large and will have a large canopy to protect fans
from the snow and wind. The design includes the world's
largest snow melt system on the canopy, a heated exterior
and this is the most interesting part, and a wind
blocking exterior and wind blocking exterior panels to minimize the
weather's impact while keeping the field open to the elements.

Speaker 8 (37:19):
Hmmm, No, I don't needed.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
You know what I think. Snow is snow, And obviously
a lot of stadiums like lambeau Field Vince have heating
mechanisms underneath the turf. Now the stadium, you go look
at it from an aerial view, it does cover up
quite a bit of the fans. But Buffalo fifteen degrees
without a roof is still fifteen degrees and wind blowing

(37:46):
and snow going. When it's lake effect, it's not gonna
stop itself. When it gets to the stadium, it's gonna
still blow and still gonna snow. So and again, part
of it to me is I think is you could
have put a dome, You could have put a roof
on it and call of to day and you mean
the time me, the city of Buffalo would not have
appreciated a nice, warm place to watch their bills. No,
they were doing it because they were saving money.

Speaker 13 (38:08):
And here's something and here's something they also mentioned.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
This is the field condition.

Speaker 13 (38:11):
The canopy is designed so that snow and rain can
still fall on the field.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
To maintain the traditional Buffalo bills experience.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
So they're sickos, is what they are, basically.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 8 (38:21):
There's just one that.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Thanks Vans for the phone call. Ross. They want they
like snow, they like win, and they like say themselves
on fire. I mean that's pretty much what Buffalo fan is. Hmmm,
well you mean setting things on fire and jumping on them. Well, yeah,
they set the table on fire, and sometimes they light
themselves up as they fall, self immolating, and I hope
not all right, Iron Eagle's gonna join it. Morgan, Brian

(38:45):
and Nigel. Look at you. You're welcome. Wow, I got it.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I'm standing up. I'm actually standing up in my seat.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Don't don't stand up too on you to affect your microphone.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
Yeah, well, things fall apart, tell them.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
To be on the way. But the text I'm getting
about Craig's hair, I can stop it. All of you.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
Let the man live his life. I like how he's
very utilitarian. I'm like, I'm just buzzist and move on.
Let's get some other stick out stuff. Craig's hair alone,
it's great.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
I want.

Speaker 1 (39:23):
I went on an NBA TV today and I was
bald and they didn't say anything word about it. Seven
one three two one two five.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Nice.

Speaker 8 (39:32):
Is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross, one of.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
The great broadcasters of our generation, a superhuman being and
a man who's gonna be busy covering Houston sports. He'll
be calling Amazon Prime coverage of the Rockets and the Spurs.
He'll be also on the call Sunday for Jacksonville versus Houston.
It is a Matt Thomas Show with Ross. We say
hello to Iron Engelo. I believe it's probably four floors
down on my hotel bird. How are you doing this afternoon?

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Good morning?

Speaker 8 (40:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Yeah, getting ready for the Texas two step. Great to
be with you.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Are you going to get shuttle service? You're actually going
to jump on a plane to head to our fair city,
Houston at the game.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Thank you, Thank you for caring about the logistics of
my life. Matt, Yeah, I will get there.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
It's that simple.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Oh that's that sounds like a kirk Herbstreet private jet moment.
I think that's very I mean, you are you are
for you don't bring your dog with you. I forget.
We're moving on to other things. Hey, uh so, uh,
Emmanuel Sharp is one of my favorite Houston Cougars. And
I don't know you've I have you talked since the
championship game. I went bounced back and forth between the

(40:42):
Rockets and coming to San Antonio for the title game. Uh,
you've called some amazing game winning shots. You've also, in
your life called some amazing, oh my gosh moments, And
I would have to say it's among your all timers
that how that game between the Houston and Florida ended
up in San Antonio here this past April.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Yeah, but I think it's so unique. As a play
by play announcer, you can play over in your head
how to prepare for a potential game winning shot, to
build up the stages of the call. You can't really
prepare for not getting a shot off. That's not normally

(41:19):
in the play by play gamebook. So the fact that
it happened that way, that could be the only time
a national championship is decided by circumstances like that. So
it really was unique. A rafts odd in real time
and said he can't touch the ball and then time expires.

(41:40):
It's over just like that. And then you have to
shift into the mode of winners losers, which is Florida
wins the title and Houston loses an absolute heartbreak, so
very very odd ending. He's a terrific player, That whole
team is fantastic. I just so enjoyed telling their story,

(42:04):
not just this past year, previous years with Kelvin Sampson
and you know they're not going anywhere. He continues to
pump out an incredible squad year in a year out,
but that that one may take the cake in bizarre
on endings.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah for sure, And hopefully you get a chance to
call a different scenario this year. First of all, congratulations
you and Kevin being the man announcers on Amazon Prime
a note brainer. Let me ask you when you finally
took the position, after you know, working you've been a
NETS announcer for a long time. You'll be doing less
of that this year. Did you get a chance to say, Hey,
I'm an old school guy. I like what the NBA

(42:41):
used to do in broadcasting. I've got a couple of nuances.
I mean, you've also hired an amazing talented crew of
producers and behind the scenes walks. But was Amazon ready to.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Listen to some things about changing the way they broadcast
games completely completely.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
They came in with an open mind of how to
attack this. They have good people behind the scenes, really
smart people too, so it was interesting for me to
head out to the seminar that we did out on
the West Coast and hear from them. But they also
were really good listeners and I think leaned on both

(43:14):
me and Kevin with all the years that we've worked
the NBA. My first real point that I made, which
fortunately they listened to, was look, day one, when we
go on the air, it's got to look like the NBA.
It's got to sound like the NBA. Don't reinvent the
wheel day one. People just want to know that it's
going to feel really comfortable and it's going to be

(43:37):
what they've come to expect when they turn on the television.
And that's exactly what happened. And now I think you'll
start seeing some new wrinkles. They'll try some things too,
which I'm more than cool with. There has to be
a period of trial and error and see what sticks.
But I'm definitely inspired by the way that they viewed this,

(43:58):
the way that they've tried to take the best of
yesteryear while also recognizing that there are places where maybe
you can add to the coverage and find some new wrinkles.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Ross with you as well. I I'm just curious, obviously,
youse somebody as a veteran of the broadcast world and
it being radio platforms and on the TV and now
to streaming platforms. I guess your overall view of where
this is going is, do you think eventually everything will
be on streaming platforms and just kind of the state
of sports broadcasting in general.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Well, I think there's a competitiveness. Now we're trying to
get eyeballs and trying to get content, which obviously is
where we find ourselves in the streaming world, not just
in sports, but on the entertainment side. The amount of
shows and movies that are being produced that are going
straight to streaming, and it's found an audience. It's not
just out in the wilderness somewhere. So the sports side

(44:56):
was the next thing to really hit because of all
the live programming that you can do, this is the
one where you have to watch in the moment. You
can't just record it and go back and watch it
three days later. If you want to know what's going
on in a game, you got to be there. And
I think that's why Amazon and Netflix and others have

(45:21):
jumped on board, and why the leagues have seen that
it is a viable option. I have not necessarily found,
at least in the early going the first couple of
weeks hearing from people saying, ah, I just can't find you.

Speaker 8 (45:36):
You can find it.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
It's going to be a little different for people, and
I think muscle memory kicks in and they begin to
figure out, all right, this is my routine, this is
what I do. I don't know what you guys do.
In terms of your live TV. I've made some adjustments
in my life. We moved and with that it opened
up an opportunity to try something else, which has been

(46:01):
working for our family. But I just know having kids,
they don't have cable, they don't have any designs on
getting cable. It's just a new era when it comes
to programming and how you consume it.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Hi An Eagle with us here on Sports Talk seven
to ninety and talk real quick about the matchup tonight. Obviously,
Victor Wimbinyama one of the early stories in the NBA,
but has slowed down his last couple of games. Just
your thoughts on him and the way teams are going
to defend him. Rockets are going to do the same thing,
try to get physical with him, send a second and
third defender, and that's going to be something he's going

(46:38):
to have to adjust to.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Yeah, let me approach it from two perspectives. First perspective
is just a pure basketball perspective. He is just such
a transcendent talent and in year three of his career,
as you turn on the TV, or if you're fortunate
enough to see him in person, imagine that this is

(47:02):
what a lot of people felt when Wilt Chamberlain first
started playing in the NBA. There have been other great players.
There have been people that have had Hall of Fame
careers that have played the same position, but he's just
doing it differently. There's something in his movements, there's something
in his body type that is just incredibly unique. So

(47:25):
from a basketball standpoint, it's scary for the rest of
the NBA. This guy is getting better with each time
you see him, he unleashes something a little bit new,
and that leads to the second perspective, which is the
play by play perspective. Matt You can relate to this.
When you're calling a game. The goal is to be
on top of the action, and you never want to

(47:47):
be the one that misses something that's special or different
in the moment because you're looking down at your notes
or you're focused on the wrong thing and your priorities
get out of whack. Every time this guy touches the ball,
there's a chance he's going to do something that you
just haven't seen before, And a lot of it has
to do, in a subtle manner that the angle in

(48:09):
which he takes the fact that we've grown so accustomed
to someone going on the baseline someone his size and
you recognize, well, he only has a couple options. Well
not this guy. He can take the baseline and what
you would never see as a reverse layup being a possibility.
He cannot just reverse layup it. He could dunk it

(48:31):
with the offhand. So it really forces you to be
on your p's and q's as an announcer. And I'm
just excited. I think this rivalry is really hitting a
fevered pitch. With four meetings this year, first one Emirates
NBA Cup, I just think every game there's going to
be a lot of anticipation with the Rockets play the

(48:52):
Spurs this year.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
I will call tonight's game Rockets and Spurs and Amazon
Primal have it for you here on seven ninety with
a six thirty tip time, and then it will be
a lot of prep for iron for you for Logan
Cook and Tommy Townsend conversation on that broadcast of the
Texans and Jaguars. So please have your stuff together. And
I don't want to get into a super deep dive
of because look, the Texans fan know they're beat up,

(49:16):
backup quarterback, lots of injuries, disappointment. Let me get to
your new partner. We knew JJ was headed for television
stardom and whatever ole he was going to be. And look,
he reminds me of your counterpart at your other network.
In Greg Olsen studies the game, learns the game trying
to become a better broadcaster beyond this being an X
football player. I think your chemistry has been amazing, But

(49:38):
take us through what you can give to a guy
like JJ who's obviously very well recognized but still has
to learn the nuances of calling a sport on television
week to week.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Yeah, my whole approach when it comes to working with
new partners has always been the same. Make them feel comfortable.
Comfortable off the air usually translates to being comfortable on
the air. Let them know that I'm going to to
be with them every step of the way. I'm not
going to put them in a bad position. I'm not
going to lead them down a road that has no

(50:08):
exit strategy on the air. I'm going to go to
those places with them alongside them, and that goes a
long way. Obviously, if you can form a friendship, that
helps greatly. JJ came to the table equipped with so
many skills to be really good at this. The fact
of the matter is he's incredibly comfortable on television. So

(50:31):
that's the first thing that is either innate to you
or not innate. I don't know if I've worked with
anybody just from an on camera point of view, that
shows no hesitation whatsoever in whatever direction we have to
go in at any moment. And then the other part,
which you don't know about someone until you're really around

(50:52):
them every day. He's such a thorough person. He thinks
things through. He has great questions, so if he doesn't
know something, he will ask you, and he's not afraid
to ask you. Some people would be afraid to ask
because they don't want to come across as not knowing
what they're supposed to know. He wants to learn it.

(51:12):
His football knowledge is through the roof. His humor is elite.
His self deprecation quotient, which I find to be highly
likable and relatable, is also excellent. And then he's got
great instincts. So you know, we just hit the ground running.
It was really easy, which is not normally the case

(51:35):
in television. Usually it takes a little time. By week one,
week two, week three, it felt like we had been
working together for ten years.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Final question, who is the best team in the AFC,
because I can't figure it out right now.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
Yeah, I can't figure it out either. I had Indianapolis
last week. Everybody was on the bandwagon, and I think
they're really good. By the way, I'm not going to
take the one loss and then just dismiss I think
Denver's record is obviously probably not what it might show
you in terms of who they are. I don't think

(52:12):
there's a team in the AFC that would be against
playing Denver right now in the postseason. So you are
what your record says you are. I get that, but
I think there's a caveat there, just based on some
of the limitations that I've seen. Kansas City, I'm not
going to toss them aside just yet. I think Buffalo
has the most potential, But I find myself saying that

(52:34):
year in and year out, and here we are in
the AFC. North Baltimore is a sub five hundred team
and everybody's picking them to win the division. So the
whole thing just feels upside down.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Well, I thank you for your time. I always appreciate
you coming on the show, and the best part about folks,
when you go to your Amazon account, if you drop
Iron Eagle on the discount code, you get ten percent
off your next order. So congratulations, yeah, ten percent. Thank
you friend for the time. We really appreciate. We'll see
at the arena the later this evening.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Yep, and I do travel my parakeet. Thanks for asking.

Speaker 1 (53:07):
What's the parakeet's name? Grout shell, groucho Eagle? Hey, very good,
Thank you Sarah. We'll talk with you later. Thanks again.
Awesome stuff. The amazing eron Eagle as good of a
broadcaster as is a person. Period.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
End of story.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
Parakeet and Eagle. That sounds like a sitcom or like
a buddy like a buddy comedy.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
Yeah, Eagle and his parakeet out of course on animal Planet,
right of course stream the next day on Hulu or.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
Whatever I watch. Yeah, yeah, I ain't good. I don't
think I can you travel a parakeet if that makes
you kind of noisy in the background, right.

Speaker 3 (53:48):
Yeah, you got to sedate it for takeoff, parakeetdrill.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Okay, we do not endorse what Ross has said. What okay,
just making sure drugging your bird. Oh lord, all right,
time for a break.

Speaker 8 (54:11):
We incorinated homost dog.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
My baby, don't looking for the Barkley Kiss studio.

Speaker 1 (54:23):
Mister kid just sent me a text.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
Grammy nominations out today, Matthew, nine more nominations for this
wo hmmm, unbelievable. He couldn't try me in a space
your thoughts, matt Let's see he's at twenty two Grammy wins.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
I don't think he's gonna sweep all nine. Most all
time would be Beyonce with thirty five.

Speaker 5 (54:48):
I walked in, walked out.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
He can get closer to to Chick Correa.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
This will be a song that the kids will be
singing thirty years from now.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Absolutely, I hope you know that. I know you're being
your tongue in cheek, but you're actually telling the truth.
I can hear his fro.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Acus. I'm gretting my teeth actually.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
So congratulations to all the Grammy nominated artists and leading
the way Kendrick Lamar with nine.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Yes, congratulations. I'm sure he'll be very successful. He already
is he already?

Speaker 2 (55:24):
Is?

Speaker 1 (55:24):
I mean I can't do anything about that. All right,
we're gonna apologize for some things we've said and done
this past week. We'll do that in about ten minutes
from now. Brian is with us at eleven twenty two
on the Matt Thomas Show. A Ross Brian, thank you
for holding in. Good morning, Yeah, no worries.

Speaker 14 (55:38):
Good good interview there with Iron Eagle. I always love
it when you guys have Money's just just a.

Speaker 15 (55:44):
Wealth of knowledge and just great demeanor and all.

Speaker 14 (55:47):
It just seems like a really good good dude. But uh, hey, mat,
I know you.

Speaker 15 (55:51):
You guys talked to the team on occasion, you know,
doing pregame prep, getting knowledge and stuff like that, or
you know, bits to work in. Last night, a buddy
of mine and he's a he's a public official in
San Antonio, and he took his daughter's basketball team out
after their game for sushi and happened to go to
the same restaurant that some of the Rockets players showed

(56:13):
up at. So they were gracious enough to take pictures
with him. So their team got pictures with the men
and Kadi and then coaching Doka.

Speaker 14 (56:21):
So if you see those guys are happen to talk
to him to say hey, that made their day.

Speaker 15 (56:25):
They were so thrilled. Uh So they were still talking
about it this morning. So that was really cool of
those guys to to stop and do that, even though
you know they're out in public and in an away city,
so but people who know who they are. He went
to high school here, so a longtime Rockets fan.

Speaker 14 (56:43):
But it was really cool for.

Speaker 5 (56:44):
Them to have that interaction with those guys. So yeah,
if he.

Speaker 14 (56:49):
Passed that long to him, if you if you happened
to see that, no, real quick on the Astros.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Yeah, I was just gonna say, Brian, I saw that.
I was eyewinness to that and percent happened and and
not giving any too many details. Uh, Kevin Durant is
just a good dude. And again, look, I know he's
got people in his crosshairs occasionally on social media. But
there were a bunch of young ladies that were in
their basketball uniforms either had played a game or practice. Yeah,

(57:16):
and several Houston Rockets took pictures with them and it
was just super super classy.

Speaker 4 (57:23):
Yes, I agree with you on that.

Speaker 15 (57:25):
Yeah, awesome and they were they were thrilled about it.

Speaker 14 (57:28):
So yeah, good h he said it some of the pictures.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
And really really cool of those guys to do it.

Speaker 5 (57:33):
So that was that was cool of them.

Speaker 15 (57:35):
Real quick on the Ashvills front.

Speaker 14 (57:37):
I was kind of surprised to see. I know, they
made a bunch of pooty man roster moves yesterday to get.

Speaker 15 (57:42):
Back down I was I wasn't surprised to see pedro
Leone get picked up because everybody's always talked about the
skill and that he has, and you know, buy, I
think Baltimore is a good spot for him. I was
kind of surprised to see that Chas McCormick actually cleared waivers,
and I know he struggled a little bit, and maybe
it's the injury aspect, but do you know, if he
if somebody would have picked him up off waivers, they
have had to pay him at his current salary, and

(58:02):
maybe that's why he didn't get picked up, or just
maybe somebody wants to sign him to a minor league deal.
At first, because I was surprised that he actually cleared
waivers and that nobody claimed them when they did that,
and then in the offseason, I hope they definitely go
out and get I'd love to see them make a
runner Ranger Suarez, just have another lefty in the mix.

(58:23):
And I saw they signed the hitting coach from the Padres.

Speaker 14 (58:28):
And I would love for them to go out and
at least as an assistant hitting coach or to have
another voice.

Speaker 15 (58:34):
I would love them to have Michael Brantley turn them down.
I know he's got some young kids, but I think
he would be a huge asset to that, to that
room and to those hitters and that.

Speaker 14 (58:46):
I'm sure he would.

Speaker 15 (58:47):
Say no, but I would love for I hope maybe
they've made the ask already of saying, hey, would you
like to come back and be a part of this
this staff and work with especially some of the younger guys,
the Cam Smiths and the Zach Coles and and those
guys who were coming through. But good show is always guys, Matt,
And I think part of it was hard for me
to watch the NBA Tournament is the floor. It's like

(59:09):
watching Boise State Field twenty four to seven. It's just
hard to watch those games on that floor.

Speaker 14 (59:14):
So I have to listen to you on the radio.

Speaker 1 (59:16):
But thank you, Brian, all right, thank you. The floor,
by the way in San Antorio was great. I found
it out today, so I don't think it'd be nearly
as obnoxious as perhaps other floors.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
I felt the piercing pain in my eyes when you
said that, though, So I don't know. We'll see how
it goes.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
Yeah, I've not seen it. I mean you can go
look on your Google images and Whatno, I'm sure there's
there's there's photos of it. Uh. I don't know the
exact rules about waiver claims after end of season, but
I'm going to presume rosso meant kind of connecting the
dots that if somebody took him that they would have
to inherit the contract, because yeah, I think Chasm, I

(59:49):
mean Chas McCormack is going to play somewhere, but probably
not the dollar amount that I guess the team would thank.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
He's still in arbitration, isn't he?

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Yeah, But I mean I think what Bryan's did makes sense.
Maybe it's a minor league deal. Yeah, maybe he's got
one year left of arbitration, it looks like, and probably
not worth that money, whatever that happens to be. So, yeah,
he'll sign a minor league contract somewhere with an invite
to spring training. I mean, he'll get here. He's not done,

(01:00:21):
but I know he'll.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
End up somewhere. Somebody will take a flyer on him,
and we're wishing him the best. I mean, you have
a guy who's hit twenty two home runs in his career.
That's yeah, interesting, but he's all I mean, he's he
he's thirty years old. We're not we're talking about some
spring some spring chicken here, correct.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
So yeah, fourth outfit or that fifthie outfitter kind of thing.
And then to the other point, the pedro Leone tribute
was kind of odd from the Astro social media department,
you know, to each his own on that. Uh and oh,
Michael's a.

Speaker 3 (01:00:48):
Space Cowboy legend.

Speaker 4 (01:00:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Do you see the Space Cowboys tweet?

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
I did nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
He's like their all time leader, and like, oh, I'll
pull it up because I don't want to say stuff
that's wrong. All time leader and hits, total bases, RBIs, walks,
stolen bases and runs scored.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
They should retire a jersey.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
That was a Space Cowboys legend right there, pedro Leone.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
And by the way, when Michael Branley said he wanted
to retire to go hang out with his kids.

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
I think he meant it. I don't think he was.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
Yeah, look, he might go to Florida for a few days.
I mean, you know, he lives in West Palm, so
he might be at camp. But I have never heard
Michael Brantley say I'm ready to get back in the
major leagues again, and it's a hitting coach. So it
might happen down the road, but I think when he
retired he was pretty explicit in saying, I want to
see my children grow up, and so I think until
they're at a point where they don't need that around much.
I don't know how old his kids are. I can't

(01:01:39):
envision Michael Branley doing it until the coast is clear.

Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
I don't think there's a single like legendary hitter who
is a hitting coach in baseball. So it's it's low
hanging fruit.

Speaker 8 (01:01:52):
I'll just say it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Well, I think it's it's hey, it's it's let's go
get a guy that was a quote unquote professional.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
Yeah, he could be a consult or something like that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
But I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
There's legendary hitters don't normally just become hitting coaches.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
I mean, the greatest hitting coach in the history of
the Astros is Jeff Bagwell, and Jeff's like, I'm not
going to do this. He did it for like two months.
He's like, I can be not putting the time because
that's video room, that's staring at people's swings. That's extra
time in the batting cage. And if you're a multi millionaire,
one of the greatest of all time and somebody that
can't do it as good as you can, you tend to,

(01:02:27):
you know, not have much patience for that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
Yeah, okay, well Pat is it Pat Burrell? Right is
he's the Giants hitting coach and he was pretty good
back in his day.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Boon, it is the hitting coach for a major league team.
I want to say, yes, the Rangers. I think yes,
good player, but I mean nothing spectacular.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
I'll just say it's rare.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
It is rare.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
So you know, if Michael, I mean Michael Brentley doesn't
have enough skin on the wall to be on all
time great, But if he wants to come back and
do it, yeah, but again every time he's like, man,
I miss my family. And so when you give up
your life and plan other cities and don't get see
your kids be growing up. Those guys that don't want
to run back into a major league uniform, I'm gonna
spend some time in you know, in Oakland or a
Sacramento for several weeks. ROSSI, we owe some people some apologies.

(01:03:16):
If you're out there in radio landing, want to apologize
or anything you've done to someone in your life, whether
it be your spouse, your work, your boss, maybe you
flipped somebody off on the freeway today, anything is fair game.
It's seven one three two one two five Sevanninti. It
is one of the two most cathartic half hours in
the history of sports radio. You get a chance to say, simply,

(01:03:38):
I'm sorry. Seven one three two one two five seven Ninti.
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety all right,

This is two weeks in a row now, we've been
doing our Cajun stereotypes.

Speaker 6 (01:04:49):
We even did we even did Louisa, Louisana governor, believe
it or not, now in.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
House and Timpanda, I mean, we're just we're just straight
up making fun of the stay all of an entire
or state in Cajun peoples.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
Well, the reality is this, there are two groups of
people we make fun of, Louisiana's and anybody that lives
in Baytown. For those two groups of people, We're sorry.
We're sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
I'm sorry, Sor thank god.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
Hmmm miss day And one more quick one yeah, I
just uh so. Last night Jalen Green made his Phoenix
Son's debut. Yes, and he was very good.

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
And Phoenix Suns are excited. And NBA, the the NBA
world is a buzz. And I'm like, I've seen this
movie before. I looked at his box score. Sure enough
he had made a bunch of threes. He's been about
a thirty three percent shooter his career.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
And Jalen Green convinced me too when he was making three.
So I made a meme on my Twitter account that
I posted, and you know what, that was rude to
Phoenix Suns fans and to Jalen Green and all.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
Of his people.

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
And I want to apologize.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
Sorry, but you didn't delete it, did you?

Speaker 13 (01:06:11):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:06:11):
I haven't.

Speaker 3 (01:06:11):
No, I didn't think you were going to get people
are bookmarking it though, so no, it's only a one
bookmark for I feel like Suns fan's gonna try to
come back and come back and get me, but we'll see.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Yeah, you got groups people always coming after you.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
For getting bookmarked all the time. That's all right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
I want to apologize to the room next to me
because at twelve o'clock I'm going to wake the strippers
up and they're going to be shocked in about twenty
three minutes from now, so early, I'm sorry to that.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:06:35):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
Yeah, Jonathan, you've always got issues in your life. Were
you apologizing for?

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
And what?

Speaker 11 (01:06:41):
You know?

Speaker 16 (01:06:42):
Early this week I was coming out to people that
were giving me the spam calls, and it seems like
I've gotten more of them, so I think I need
to apologize.

Speaker 17 (01:06:49):
Can we not?

Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
Can we get guys? I'm sorry?

Speaker 16 (01:06:51):
Just can we stop giving you these hospital buildings? Like,
stop giving you a scam calls? Stop putting into seven
ninety Okay, I'm sorry, just please.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
Sorry, Rossie. I have twenty six miss calls since eight nineteen.
This morning, twenty six twenty six miss calls. Every single
one of them was a spam.

Speaker 4 (01:07:15):
Spam risk.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
Say sorry to me, stop calling me, stop calling my number.

Speaker 5 (01:07:20):
Oh, I'm sorry?

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
What what what number did you put? You must have
put on a weird website?

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
I'm just I'm just yeah, well, you know, here's the thing.
He's been clicking some weird links.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Maybe they're getting them me back because I would I
used to prank call them all the daime and they
would talk to me. I would prank them.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
Yeah, and then they start sharing your number. That's probably it. Yeah,
it's probably your fault.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
They're not getting through to me. I mean, that's they're
not winning. But I do have to delete my resents,
you know, just every day or so because I had
the recent counts like it was at one hundred and
nineteen a few days ago.

Speaker 4 (01:07:53):
So I just get rid of all that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
And the negative is that if somebody who's trying to
get a hold of me that I don't know their number,
that's going right to voicemail, becaus the byproduct that is
the spam call. So for those of you that are
trying to call me that I don't have your number,
I say, I'm sorry you can't reach me right away.

Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
Sorry, I don't think I've done anything bad to then
for this week. I don't believe that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
I don't believe it at all.

Speaker 7 (01:08:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:08:21):
Now, good boy, I get to meet the girl next Sunday.

to give me a direct pipeline for anything that you
do that's bad in your life. You're the king of
I didn't do anything wrong this week, and then we
always find out some things. So we'll make sure the
girl knows exactly how she can call seven one, three
two five s of an honeion vouch for you.

Speaker 16 (01:08:44):
So I mean I drive like a Houstonian. I mean
I can't I have a crazy person. I can't apologize
for every time. I mean, if the next five cars
don't saything I'm doing, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:08:52):
Not you know, worst drivers in America, by the way,
or Salt Lake City, Utah, not even really close. They're
the worst rivers in their nineteen eighty nine minivans. And
I'm talking about nineteen year olds the worst.

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
They're driving like the raptures.

Speaker 1 (01:09:08):
Coming, yeah, and like the Angel Moroni is chasing after them.
All right, So this has been a compelling segment. We
had great iron Eagle, yes or okay, the single person
that's ready to apologize for any of their transgressions.

Speaker 3 (01:09:25):
Seven one, three, two five, seven ninety. You know, jaym

on this.

on him all Brad trigger here, let's go, Brad, what
do you got?

Speaker 5 (01:10:40):
I'm sorry, man, you didn't understand.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):

to be good in your profession. You want to get
paid more, and they don't want to pay you. They
they let you go.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
When's the win? Couple once before we get to the
top of the hour, Brandon, what are you gonna apologize for?

Speaker 22 (01:21:20):
I want to apologize for my opinion on the TV
broadcast versus the play by play broadcast of the Rocket Team.
You might want to, you know, just look at it,
but I think maybe you might be better on TV
and Craig might be better at play by play. What

(01:21:43):
what do you mean, Well, I just feel like you
have a faith for television, Matt. I feel like if
you were to switch with Craig, Greig goes back to
doing the game on the radio play by play, You're
on Fox Sports Southwest former League. On the TV, you
and wrow would be great on Timmy Rock can get
a haircut, y'all would be amazing on Televisivision.

Speaker 1 (01:22:08):
I think we're okay as we are. I mean, I'm
happy where I am. How about I just say that?

Speaker 4 (01:22:15):
Is that okay?

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
Can I just say that?

Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
Yes?

Speaker 22 (01:22:18):
Yeah, you can say but what if you if you
were offered that, would.

Speaker 4 (01:22:21):
You take it?

Speaker 1 (01:22:22):
I'm not replacing Craig. No, and no, if Craig wants
to retire, that's.

Speaker 22 (01:22:25):
No, you wouldn't he'd be replacing you like that would
be No.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
We just we're doing just fine. Craig has earned his tripe.
He's one of the best television broadcasters I know and
a great friend. And so the answer is no, I'm
I'm not gonna We're not flipping spots.

Speaker 4 (01:22:39):
No, No, I'll stay right where I am the day.

Speaker 3 (01:22:44):
Humm, you're a loyal dude.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
Met. People are trying to draw up trouble. It's just ridiculous.
I'm not going to him about anything except being my
friend and being a colleague. That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:56):
We have to get a haircut.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Yeah, you can't put that shag out, and why not?

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
It's just not shag bristle, Okay, I mean it's shaggy
usually at work when I go in public.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
You know you got that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:12):
I'm not gonna dye my beard. You can look young's
for Dick.

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
I don't care well.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
Television cares like you shut theirs up. Well, that's why
radio is perfect for us. Aaron, good morning to you.

The Matt Thomas Show. Ross Here on Sports Talk seven.

Speaker 8 (01:24:47):
N is The Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Twelve O six an h Town.

Speaker 21 (01:25:00):
Good Morningstern Birs and welcome to hour three of The

(01:25:20):
Matt Thomas Show with Ross from San Antonio.

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
This is Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
I don't even want to comment, Yeah you don't.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
I just want to apologize. I gotta lay apology.

Speaker 5 (01:25:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:25:38):
Seven one three, two one two five seven anything and
I meaning anything goes Friday here on The Matt Thomas Show,
a Ross twelve one. I was our time.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
Let's get you to the news at noon.

Speaker 4 (01:25:51):
Rossee.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
People are anxiously awaiting the Sunday noon tilt at Energy
Stadium with the Texans and the Jaguars.

Speaker 4 (01:25:56):
Are they? Are they not?

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
I was gonna lead with the big matchup on prime videos.

Speaker 1 (01:26:02):
That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
Go. Can Victor Wimin Yama lose three in a row?
I certainly hope. So it's the five and two Rockets
versus the five and two San Antonio Spurs Matthew the
Rockets holding as three and a half point favorites in
this one. Wimby for two straight games, been facing a
lot of double teams, smaller players getting physical and up

(01:26:26):
in his kitchen. I think you're gonna see that tonight.
I don't know exactly who's gonna be tasked with that,
whether it be probably a mix of O Koge and
a man and whotari eesen whoever right, and then flying
second and third defenders at him. Because he has shown
an ability to turn the ball over eleven turnovers in

(01:26:46):
his last two games and struggling against double teams. That'll
be the next adjustment for Victor Wimbin Yama. Can he
do it tonight?

Speaker 1 (01:26:52):
That's sweet music right there, Sports RV. That's a storyline.
By the way, Ryan Hollins will be joining me on
the broadcast lovely. Yeah, so we'll be Ryot's like, can
I come sit with you and call the game? I'm
like sure. I mean he's bored. You know, the TV
guys lose some games because of this national stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:27:07):
So he's gonna come sit up and in one of
the worst broadcast positions in the NBA, bets on the
here and nor there.

Speaker 3 (01:27:12):
I have a question being here does that affect their salary?
Is it a game by game thing?

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
Or I know he's doing it? What do they call it?

Speaker 5 (01:27:19):
Pro pro?

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
Bone?

Speaker 3 (01:27:20):
And no, I just mean I mean the TV guys
in general like, oh yeah, oh god, that sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
That's probably response.

Speaker 3 (01:27:26):
So the better your team is, the more you lose
out bingo, that's rough.

Speaker 1 (01:27:31):
Are you ready for this? You know, last year and
for the many many years you could do the first
round of the playoffs side what they call side by
side having a national broadcast in yours, that's all gone.
They did away with that this year. Last year I
thought they did they this is the first year of
local broadcasting for anything.

Speaker 3 (01:27:49):
Oh no, it's.

Speaker 8 (01:27:52):
Esque, that's got it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:54):
That's taking money out of your pockets right there.

Speaker 1 (01:27:56):
It's a sensitive subject of on my mind.

Speaker 7 (01:27:58):
It should be.

Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
That's wrong, very very very sensitive subject.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Sure, nobody wants to get hit in the pockets. No,
that's that is rough all right. Elsewhere in baseball, matt
the Japanese home run king Munataka Murakami is entering the
posting system today will start the process of one of
the most anticipated free agencies of the winner. According to

(01:28:26):
Jeff Passon, he has the single season home run record
for a Japanese player in Niphon NU Professional Baseball, hitting
fifty six in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
Okay, and let's narrow it down to who's going to
the Dodgers, the Giants, or the Mariners, maybe the Potters
certainly nobody say east of Denver.

Speaker 3 (01:28:51):
Yeah, I mean it feels like the Dodgers of the
chalk right.

Speaker 1 (01:28:56):
Well, yeah, I mean, don't look and they just defer
the payments. Correct, you know what, you better do this
now before next year the South the leged lockout coming up.
Just start it out.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
That's true. Apparently top landing spots are thought of to
be the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (01:29:13):
Oh really, I mean they've had some. They had a
techi about Sue, right, didn't they For a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:29:23):
They had massa hero Tanaka.

Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
Yeah, it's funny. The Cleveland Guardians are not involved in
the mix.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
Apparently, you Ston Astros gonna go ahead and tap out
of that.

Speaker 4 (01:29:33):
You know what we got the d R.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
It's a bitting war. Jim Crane's putting his paddle down.
That's just how it goes.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
Well, I mean he'll offer him four years.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
Yeah, he offer him some something. They will never be accepted. Yes,
he does do that.

Speaker 1 (01:29:49):
I don't anticipate this guy going to Kansas City, do
you No?

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
I don't think so.

Speaker 11 (01:29:54):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
Dodgers, Mariners, Mets, Red Sox, Yankees says yeah, who's sports?

Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
Say those those teams again?

Speaker 3 (01:30:01):
Dodgers, Okay, Mariners, Mets, Red Socks, Yankees.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
So major metropolitan markets on both coast.

Speaker 3 (01:30:12):
That yes, okay, in Seattle doesn't spend, but maybe they're
going to want to to get over that hump.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
Well, it's funny because I think the only reason why
saddles in it makes it because if it's you know,
if it's a large Asian population.

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
Right, yes, Okay, one more quick thing, Matthew. Six former
men's college basketball players at three different schools participated in
betting schemes that include game manipulation or sharing information with
known betters, and they have been banned from the NC double.

Speaker 1 (01:30:43):
A nobody we know right, anytrminator.

Speaker 3 (01:30:48):
Revocation of eligibility for all six players, uh said Quavious
Hunter Nope, dia Quavian Short nope, Jamond Vincent heard of them,
Donovan Sanders nope, Alvin Stretitch nope. And b J Freeman

(01:31:09):
all right. We wish all of you the very best
in your next career as an Arizona State player.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
In that mix, hey, uh, we're gonna get more of this, right,
this is gonna be like a semi regular conversation piece
on it.

Speaker 3 (01:31:20):
I wonder I will say yes, but I want man.
But also I didn't think it would happen to this
level that it has. So, I mean, I I was
wrong on that. I thought players wouldn't be this stupid.
But it's not only the players are dumb. It's like
you have guys getting into debt, like apparently Terry Rozier
was at a bunch of gambling debt. Like you you
have guys who if you have five hundred people, one

(01:31:41):
or two of them are gonna get into gambling debt.
They're gonna have gambling issues or get into whatever types
of debts or have other kind of things where they're
in the pockets of mafioso's.

Speaker 16 (01:31:48):
Yep, that's all you need to put about the curtain days.
And this is just my experience. I've met a lot
of college athletes bee hundreds of dollars like trying to bet,
and they lose, and they're in debt, and they got
all these things going on.

Speaker 3 (01:32:00):
China's name. I gambled more money than I should have.

Speaker 1 (01:32:02):
I lost.

Speaker 3 (01:32:03):
I've talked about this on air before. I think I've
lost five thousand dollars on a night on poker before
when I was in college. Now I had twelve. I
had twelve thousand on my account. But I mean it's
still lost five thousand.

Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
I will admit my greatest gambling loss ever I've ever done.
I think I've lost fourteen hundred dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:32:20):
In one night.

Speaker 3 (01:32:21):
Oh that's light work, Come on, man, I mean, brutally
it is.

Speaker 1 (01:32:25):
And I and the rat's the reason why I can.
I can enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:28):
And I've lost fourteen hundred dollars about fifteen minutes of
black jack.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
Was I a witness of this? I probably was.

Speaker 3 (01:32:34):
This is at the circa. Yeah, you you were around.
I had to take that lonely walk to the Bank
of America atm Actually wasn't lonely. My brother lost too.
We went together. We rallied. Baby, that's the best feeling, though, Matt.
Oh the rally. Oh, I'm chasing that high.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
This is bad.

Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
Folks, don't do don't gamble kids.

Speaker 1 (01:32:57):
Yeah, don't just stay away from our Yeah. We like
to tell you about playing blackjack, but I would recommend.

Speaker 7 (01:33:03):
You not to.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
The epic rallies are so fun though, But when they
don't happen, it's not great.

Speaker 4 (01:33:12):
It's not great at all.

Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
By the way, a little bit of breaking news small yea,
I'll give them sounder one. Let's give it one sounder one. Okay,
Mark Sanchez officially out at Fox. Oh yeah, zero surprise
on that. Oh and you know what about well one more.
It's not really a breaking new sounder. But apparently Jayden
Daniels is going to try to rehab with his injury,

(01:33:34):
that gruesome elbow injury without surgery.

Speaker 4 (01:33:37):
That's not gonna end well.

Speaker 3 (01:33:38):
The dislocated left elbow will not be placed on injured reserve.
He's gonna happen well, it's not his throwing elbow, but
I mean you get obviously, you get banged around in NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:33:49):
Yes, that's exactly right.

Speaker 1 (01:33:51):
By the way. The man replacing Mark Sanchez on Fox
Drew Breese, Yes, who did one year I want to
say studio work on NBC and was widely panned.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
Again, maybe he's better. He was a little a little stiff.

Speaker 1 (01:34:06):
Game analysis is obviously different because you're you know, you're
talking about what just happened, is compared to having to
be organic about a bunch of different things. Uh, Mark Sanchez.
I don't know if his career is over in broadcasting,
but it's not gonna take a little bit of.

Speaker 3 (01:34:19):
A detour fore he can call the prison football games.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
All right, twelve seventeen. Uh, we've got Doctor Royal coming
up in forty minutes. Ross is leaving us at one o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:34:28):
So, litter who. I think I've done pretty good for
being on vacation mode all day.

Speaker 1 (01:34:33):
You've been actually pretty good, except for the time you
just kind of you you went to the microphone card
and said, is that microphone not long?

Speaker 4 (01:34:40):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
Come on, have we told that?

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:34:42):
I'm back on Mike one, So we're good.

Speaker 4 (01:34:44):
Oh, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:34:46):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven nine zero added
Ross with you on anything goes Friday seven one three
two one two five seven ninety If you want to
join the conversation seven to one three two one two
five seven nine zero. You know we've been Ross has

(01:35:06):
been teasing me about the money that uh, Kyle Tucker's
gonna get in free agency, and he's going to be right,
probably a dollar amount and length.

Speaker 4 (01:35:16):
But our bet is on the seven and a half
years what talking.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
Oh we didn't go through the ESPN list.

Speaker 1 (01:35:21):
You can certainly pull it up as I discussed this.
So yesterday the qualifying offers were given out and rober
Valdez got one from the Astro, So no surprise. I
want to say, did I see John Hayman say ROSSI
was twenty one or twenty two.

Speaker 3 (01:35:32):
May twenty two? I think yeah, one year twenty two.

Speaker 1 (01:35:35):
Uh, and how you and I were kind of like,
if the market's not good, maybe Robert takes the qualifying
Now he's got a few days to do so, but
everybody and their mother is like, oh no, he's gonna
do quite well. The thing that has been most startling
beyond the fact that the amount of money that I'm
seeing in link for Kyle Tucker's contract, Rossie, is the

(01:35:55):
fact that frobervald this, at least from media types, It's
gonna have a lot to choose from here, which is
surprising to me.

Speaker 3 (01:36:05):
Yeah, so the article we talked about the Baseball America,
didn't they say seven two twenty or something crazy like that.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
But everybody, whether it's ESPN or Sporting News or athletic,
they're not saying anything about reputation or how things can
get surly. They're all just like left hander durable Bill.
It throws a lot of innings, does it misstarts, no

(01:36:33):
thought of emotionally Sometimes it's a little bit of walking
on eggshells. Doesn't feel this position particularly well. It's susceptible
giving up big innings. Now again, You and I and
all the Astro fans listening to us have this perspective
because we see him every fifth day fromber on the
biggest stage for the most part in his career. Throughout

(01:36:54):
this entire Astros postseason run has been excellent, not perfect,
but excellent. So maybe the perception of him is significantly
better outside of Houston than it is in and I
don't think there's any evidence that would disprove that because
of what we're seeing in terms of what people think
that Robert is.

Speaker 4 (01:37:11):
Going to get in the open market.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
I mean, I think todd that happens with players. I
think I think farmer Valdez was taken for granted by
the fan base and a lot of us in general.
And yeah, he did have a bunch of bloves, especially
the last couple of months of the season. They were horrible.
But I mean for the balance of what he has been,
he has been extremely reliable, has come up huge in
playoff moments, and he is highly valued. And this ESPN

(01:37:34):
article is from Kylie McDaniel. Now quick note, they do
have Kyle Tucker at eleven years, four hundred and eighteen
million dollars. But anyways, fromer Valdez, six years, one sixty
eight is what they have fromber at that's twenty eight
million a year. They have him as the number two

(01:37:54):
free agent on the board. It's funny we keep going
through these lists. It's this list is Kyle Well Tucker,
from er Valdez, Cody Bellinger, Alex Bregman, so three of
the top four are former astros recent former astros.

Speaker 1 (01:38:13):
Now, again, we're not ones. We're not cutting the checks.
And just because media types say it doesn't necessarily mean
it's the guys.

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
Every media type said Bregman was going to get like
seven years, two hundred million or whatever last year and
then that didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (01:38:26):
No, But I mean, but they're also they're also not
just throwing numbers against the wall. They're probably do check
the news in due diligence. Now, my guess is if
you're a if you're a baseball writer ross and you
are trying to figure it out, you're calling the agent.
You're not calling a particular team saying, hey, uh hey, angels,
are you interested in Frober Valdez?

Speaker 4 (01:38:45):
And if you are, what would you offer him? You
know what I mean, It's gonna be those those those
articles are going to be tend to be agent driven
more thanything else.

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
If you called Scott Borrows and you said, what is
Alex Bregman worth, He's going to give you an answer
way more forthcoming than say what the Red Sox would
think Alex Begman. So you gotta kind of just read
between the lines a little bit. But if there's enough
people out there that are saying that Robert's gonna get
that kind of cash. I would say, generally speaking, he

(01:39:13):
does deserve a long term deal. He has been excellent
for this franchise, and we have the microscope on him.
But the overrunning sentiment to me would be we wish
you well, thank you very much, and enjoy your new
place that you're gonna call home, because I don't think

(01:39:34):
astro fans would be overly thrilled with paying that kind
of money for a guy who has spent at times
elite and the other times you just don't trust him
on the mound under any circumstance.

Speaker 3 (01:39:46):
Yeah, many, many, many, many astros fans are done with him,
and I understand.

Speaker 1 (01:39:51):
I mean, if you were to give him, if you
were to give a grade of his career as an astro,
it's a B plus.

Speaker 4 (01:39:57):
Hmmm, that's how plus.

Speaker 3 (01:39:59):
It's probably fair. It's not a bee because he was
he was excellent. They don't win the twenty twenty two
World Series without him pitching as well as he did,
but he also had he had a bad twenty one
and he was bad in his one start in twenty three. Yeah,
I want to say he was bad another year too,
and then look it up.

Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
He is susceptible to the ball. I mean, look at
that two month stretch Rossi had for the Astros this year,
second half of the year, when when he flounding the
defense and all of a sudden he didn't win for
like a month or something like that.

Speaker 3 (01:40:30):
Yeah, he hadn't blown up, and he'd blown up once
in like a year and a half, and so I
was I was defending him and saying, guy's over blow
his blow up. So then he blew up for two
months straight.

Speaker 4 (01:40:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:40:41):
It also shows you again that people in the baseball
industry are rather forgiving, that they will look.

Speaker 4 (01:40:46):
At the upside of the player way more than they
will the downside.

Speaker 3 (01:40:50):
And he was excellent his last start when the season
was hanging in the balance. I mean they didn't end
up mattering, but right, seven innings and one run ball,
ten strikeouts against A's. Don't laugh, A's We're good, not you.

Speaker 4 (01:41:03):
Man, I know, no, No, I got news for you.

Speaker 1 (01:41:05):
If if the A's ever spend money when they moved
to Vegas, ROSSI, We're in trouble here, Bega. That's the team,
because that's a team that we kind of thought would
be an afterthought, like we've always get the Angels are
an afterthought. The Mariners have been up and down. The
Rangers certainly have been up and down. We've never thought
about the Angels being a serious contender. And they may
spend money on trout and they may go after you know,
our buddy you sa Ka Kouchie, but they just don't

(01:41:28):
have enough. And the A's are just a team that
once you have a good player, you trade them. When
you have a closer who used to who threw one
hundred and four miles an hour, what'd you do? You
traded him?

Speaker 3 (01:41:38):
Yes, they did.

Speaker 1 (01:41:41):
And then Nick Kurtz probably is going to find himself
somewhere else. I mean, that's that's what I think people
in Vegas are worry about. Is we're building the stadium
for you guys, and you have no history of keeping
for agents, and as all of a sudden, a thirty
thousand seat stadium in Las Vegas going to change.

Speaker 3 (01:41:57):
That, you'd figure sponsorships. I don't know. I don't know
if Vegas just isn't the financial boon that it once was. No,
I mean, the millennials and gen Z, they're not they're
not going to Vegas.

Speaker 5 (01:42:07):
No.

Speaker 1 (01:42:08):
Well, and again it's corporate supports. It's not necessarily about
filling the thirty thousand seats. It's about how many people
are in the building or watching your TV games that
are seeing your advertisers. Because even if you ross, even
if you sold thirty thousand seats a game, it's two
point four million. That's presented by providing that everybody is
in the building that's paid, which isn't the case, and

(01:42:29):
then everybody you go to every one of the games
is sold out. Now that may be that way for
a year, but there are franchises in baseball, even the
Mids that draw two point four that's not that doesn't
move the needle.

Speaker 4 (01:42:39):
It's good, it's profitable.

Speaker 1 (01:42:41):
And if you're charging sixty dollars for a pina colada,
I mean, that's really profitable. But Vegas is a town
with booze is I mean, if you're gambling, it's free.
And I don't know, I'm gonna be very curiously how
it turns out. It's gonna be glorious once it's built,
and it's gonna they're gonna revitalizing that end of downtown
not too far from the airport, but it comes down

(01:43:04):
to the Ace are going to have to spend some money.
And I don't think anybody that are that are die
hard A's fans think it's going to happen. They just
don't think that that's in that this is all for profit.
This is just going to be be a mid level
team with a new stadium and all the bells and
whistles because you got it in Las Vegas as compared
to getting it into Northern California. Twelve thirty two of

(01:43:25):
The Matt Thomas Show, Ross seven one three two one
two five seven ninety. Ross. We have stayed away from
predicting NFL games, generally speaking, but it's time for us
to declare who's going to win Sunday's game between the
Texans and the Tennessee Titans. Sorry, I'm ready that Titans
the Jacksonville Jaguars. I was thinking ahead seven one three
two one two five seven ninety. If you want to
chime in on the conversation at seven one three two

(01:43:48):
one two five seven ninety, doctor Roto's coming up in
about twenty five minutes, Eth it goes Friday, Roto's coming
up in about twenty two minutes. About do you want
to have any quotion, you gotta call him for a
roto segment and you're anywhere to the airport. What are
you gonna do if your team sucks?

Speaker 3 (01:44:09):
We're bad. We we have so many injuries and buys.
We don't even have any start sick questions. It's like
we we gotta dance with who's available.

Speaker 4 (01:44:17):
See, you've given up.

Speaker 3 (01:44:19):
I'm not giving up. There's no there's no wiggle room.
Everybody's gonna buy or hurt. I don't have a starter
sick question. I gotta I just gotta put the slap
in who's available, And I'm I'm doing well in two
other leagues, So shout your bum mass up.

Speaker 4 (01:44:35):
That's why you play more than one league. Just be
mo at sports empteen.

Speaker 3 (01:44:39):
You you haven't won anything, and you've never won the league,
and you're not gonna win again.

Speaker 1 (01:44:43):
Just Ben momy beach. Let's go seven one three, two,
one two five seven out of seven one three two
one two five seven nine zero. All right, time for
us to make predictions. You want to go first. We
want men to go first. Text Jaguars, you go first.

(01:45:08):
It would be so easy to say thirteen to ten. Right,
that's probably about right. I'll say this Vegas doesn't get
everything right. They do pretty good job. Generally speaking, they
do a really good job on their over unders. It
feels like this year. There was a low total in
last night's Denver Raiders game, and that certainly fit. There

(01:45:30):
was a low total in the Broncos Texans game last Sunday,
and that certainly fit. I'm going to say Texans defense
has a bigger impact on the game than anything Davis

(01:45:51):
Mills does.

Speaker 4 (01:45:52):
I will go.

Speaker 1 (01:45:56):
Twenty one thirteen Texans. Texas with the points win the game.
The under has gotta be less than thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:46:05):
We gotta be less than forty, right, it's thirty seven
and a half, yeah, the lowest on the board.

Speaker 1 (01:46:11):
I'll take the Texans in the under. Texans win twenty
one to thirteen in a game that will be far
f memorable and we'll have thousands of empty seats in
the building.

Speaker 5 (01:46:20):
It's good.

Speaker 3 (01:46:20):
It's gonna be an ugly game, which is what the
Texans are gonna they even if CJ. Stroud are available.
They've been in a bunch of ugly games. Now it's
Davis Mills season. They're gonna play it close to the vest.
The Dimiico Ryans already does establish the run and let's
win with the defense. They're gonna do it this game.
It's gonna be low, low scoring. It's gonna be ugly.
Brian Thomas is out for the Jaguars. Jacoby Myer's just

(01:46:43):
gotten there. I don't know how many snaps he's even
gonna be able to play. It's gonna be the run there.
It's gonna be about stopping the run. Game's I'm literally
gonna go. This is sad. Thirteen to nine Texans.

Speaker 1 (01:46:57):
So five field goals in a touchdown twelve noon.

Speaker 3 (01:47:01):
Yes, I know it's not fun. You gotta find the
beauty and the defensive stops. Matt find the beauty and
the chasing down and sniffing out screens and then blowing
up blocks and two of the best pass rushers on
the planet, and Will Anderson and Daneil Hunter.

Speaker 1 (01:47:19):
Well, you know it's funny. I don't think I've ever
given a national broadcaster like Iron Eagle advice, but I
thought I was doing pretty good by telling him that
he should get his prep work in on the two
punters for the game.

Speaker 4 (01:47:30):
That's true, So you know what we gotta do.

Speaker 1 (01:47:34):
We ought to do a grandiose prediction on who punched
the ball more Logan Cook.

Speaker 4 (01:47:40):
Oh, how about that?

Speaker 3 (01:47:43):
That would be a good bet. More punt yards I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:47:44):
Gonna yards or better average.

Speaker 3 (01:47:51):
I'm gonna go with whoever the punter is for the
Jaguars Logan Cook.

Speaker 1 (01:47:57):
You know, Logan good friend of the show.

Speaker 3 (01:47:58):
Sure, why not?

Speaker 1 (01:48:00):
We could have done Believe it or not on all
things a Logan Cook. He played college football Atssissippi State,
seventh overall pick in twenty eighteen. He's been a Jaguar
in his entire NFL life. Oh my god, poor.

Speaker 3 (01:48:14):
Kid been doing a lot of punning.

Speaker 1 (01:48:17):
Didn't make the Pro Bowl aster, of course, but he
didn't play in the game because he was hurt because
he kicking the ball so much. It was his leg
was puffing up his stretch out hamshring. Okay, so let's
write these down, Rossie. Let's go with send them to
him to John.

Speaker 4 (01:48:33):
I think it's're gonna be going an.

Speaker 1 (01:48:35):
Let's go with Logan Logan punts more?

Speaker 3 (01:48:42):
Okay, what was your final score?

Speaker 1 (01:48:48):
Twenty one to thirteen?

Speaker 3 (01:48:51):
Who's winner?

Speaker 1 (01:48:52):
Texans?

Speaker 3 (01:48:53):
Three touchdowns for the Texans, one one.

Speaker 1 (01:48:57):
Defensive, one defensive and two offensive.

Speaker 3 (01:49:01):
One special teams, one defensive and one offensive.

Speaker 1 (01:49:07):
Logan Cook is his name, Cook, Logan Cook. It's also
the holder for the Jaguars too.

Speaker 3 (01:49:12):
Any relation to Sam.

Speaker 1 (01:49:15):
Nope, I mean I could be yeah, Logan Cook punch more.
Uh oh, I got one for you.

Speaker 4 (01:49:24):
Who kicks the longer longest field goal in the game?

Speaker 20 (01:49:27):
On?

Speaker 1 (01:49:27):
Look? Look, you know what the hell we're doing. Listen
to us. We are doing special team prop bets.

Speaker 3 (01:49:32):
Well, this, I'm gonna say Matthew Wright probably doesn't have
much of a leg if he's been on the street
and with like four teams this year. So I'm gonna
say longest kick is going to be by. I don't
even know who their Kuzu's their kicker these days?

Speaker 1 (01:49:45):
Little?

Speaker 5 (01:49:45):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (01:49:46):
Why not? Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:49:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:49:46):
So Cam Little is hitting seventy yarders. Cam Little kicks
the longest field goal of the game. That's that's a huge,
that's like a minus five hundred.

Speaker 2 (01:49:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:49:55):
So why does Cam not call himself Cam run Little?
And why does Matt resid Matt Right?

Speaker 5 (01:50:00):
Is he?

Speaker 1 (01:50:00):
Why does he call himself Matthew?

Speaker 5 (01:50:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:50:03):
Why are you going by?

Speaker 3 (01:50:04):
You keep doing this?

Speaker 1 (01:50:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:50:06):
I'm just curious how the everybody has their preferences. I mean,
you never why don't you go by Matthew. Yeah, that's
a good You can come to Matthew if you want
to Matthew. When you're getting on, I'm like, yeah, all right, Matthew.

Speaker 1 (01:50:17):
You're that Jonathan you always he always want Yeah, he
always goes with a full name. When I'm saying, what's
the fun of Ross?

Speaker 3 (01:50:23):
What's the full name of Ross? My first name is Paul.

Speaker 1 (01:50:29):
He's lying, right, No, that's really his name? Are you serious? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):

do know this, and I've said it before. You just
telling that's time you check out a lot it okay, okay,
so yeah, Paul and matt don't.

Speaker 1 (01:50:44):
The only time you check out is when you're eating.

Oh, let me tell you your options were here?

Speaker 3 (01:51:58):
What's on Fox? The Glunden Bowls twenty seven?

Speaker 1 (01:52:00):
No, you know what it's on Fox is Northwestern USC.

Speaker 4 (01:52:03):
Oh m hm.

Speaker 1 (01:52:05):
So I'm saying I I'd rather put Houston versus UCF on.
That's much more. Hold on.

Speaker 3 (01:52:09):
I'm trying to find and I got to get out
of the top twenty five tab to find you guys game.
Uh oh, Cougars have flipped to favorites in this one
as as well.

Speaker 1 (01:52:18):
Should so you know what the precursor is is Georgetown Maryland.
So we're getting a great lead in because you want
to put on the best mega doubleheader you can. Georgetown
Maryland basketball followed by Houston Central.

Speaker 3 (01:52:31):
Florida, which, by the way, Fox is still using round
ball rock for college basketball. Correct, they shouldn't be they are.
I saw awful announcing posts that they are.

Speaker 1 (01:52:40):
That's not right, NBC, it's NBC.

Speaker 3 (01:52:42):
It's exclusive community. Can they both have the rights.

Speaker 5 (01:52:45):
To a song?

Speaker 1 (01:52:47):
John tesh to getting the check them to me?

CBS Yep, I don't double actually, I do dub.

Speaker 3 (01:52:57):
Yes, you do double dip hard Rock the Double Mister
on location right now?

Speaker 1 (01:53:03):
That's right, I do double dip. All right, twelve forty six,
it's the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Come on and
join U seven one three two one two five seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:53:12):
If you don't you ratt.

Speaker 1 (01:53:17):
Ou to that hobout, all is well? All right, Ross? Uh,
since you're gonna be gone, uh next week, let's go ahead,
knock out a few things we can pre record. Jonathan. Okay,
so let's do this, Jonathan bookmark this so then next
week we can play these when we're looking for the
daily Ross uh commentary. Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (01:53:38):
Ross?

Speaker 1 (01:53:39):
Yes, here we go. Number one. Texans beat the Jaguars.

Speaker 4 (01:53:44):
Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (01:53:45):
Five four three two one? Important win for the Texans.
I mean, really gutting it out Davis Mills. I mean
it's not like he was spectacular, but he did enough
to get them to win. Now, hopefully you can get c. J.
Stroud cleared through concussion protocol. Extremely winnable game coming up
against the Titans, and you really want to have this
one because coming up after that, you're taking the Bills

(01:54:06):
on at home. Then you got to go on the
road to face the Colston Chiefs. I mean, this is
about as tough as it's gonna get. So a very
important game against the Titans. Try to square the record
up at five apiece, and then somehow someway win at
least one, maybe two of the next three, and then
you got to close the season strong.

Speaker 4 (01:54:24):
Texans lose the Jaguars in five four three two one.

Speaker 3 (01:54:31):
I mean, this just hurts you rather would have had CJ. Stroud,
Trevor Lawrence was just mid. The defense was really good.

Speaker 1 (01:54:38):
But this offense just hasn't had enough.

Speaker 3 (01:54:41):
You just don't have enough. The offensive line not good,
running game still hasn't been there. And then you're going
with Davis Mills. Now you're three and six and you
look at the schedule coming up with the Bills, Coltons
and Chiefs coming up. They're not making the playoffs. And
at the end of the day, Nick Cassari was right.
We weren't happy about the trade deadline. Didn't make enough
move and we're sitting here saying, all right, whatever, go

(01:55:03):
back to the drawing board for next year where Nick
Cassario is gonna have a lot of picks.

Speaker 1 (01:55:08):
Rockets beat both the Spurs and the Bucks this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:55:16):
I'm telling you, folks, this offense continues to be special.
Now the defense has rounded into form your top ten
in both I think they're gonna finish as one of
the top five offenses. With Kevin Durant commanding double teams,
Albryn Shingoon as well, they're going to continue to grow
and get better. Dorian Finney Smith coming back. This is
a team that is going to be as dangerous as
they come in the Western Conference, and Houston needs to

(01:55:38):
wake up. You need to get those butts in seats.
You need to be paying attention. This is some great
Rockets basketball that we're watching right now. A and M
loses at Missouri this weekend. Oh well, you know they
were on up set alert. Maszoo has been pretty good
and coach Shrinkwitz and the guys, they had a pretty

(01:55:58):
good game plan. And now Aggie's still going to be
in the playoff mix. But with this game coming up
this week against Georgia and Texas, that's a big one.
And then down the line, could A and M's playoff
lives and Texas is playoff life be on the line
in Austin, Texas the day after Thanksgiving should.

Speaker 1 (01:56:17):
Be a great matchup. Last one here, by the way,
you're killing it.

Speaker 3 (01:56:21):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:56:21):
This just came in moments ago.

Speaker 3 (01:56:23):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:56:24):
Stefan Diggs huh. A paternity test is confirmed that Stefan
Diggs is the father of an IG model Eileen Lopera's
baby girl. He's also expecting a child with girlfriend rapper
Cardi b. He now has four kids on the way
with four different women. Wait, is this real, This is real. Yes,
he's got four He's got four buns in the oven

(01:56:46):
in five four three two one. All right, Stefon Diggs.

Speaker 3 (01:56:51):
I don't know if it's an HMO or a ppo
or whatever you got via the NFL, but you need
a referral to a urologist. It's time to get snipped.

Speaker 1 (01:57:00):
Two more. I thought of it. Okay, uh RUU TV
and Disney are still fighting in five four to three
to one.

Speaker 3 (01:57:08):
Ud always comes down to money in sports, and we
talk about championship success and the pageantry and the will
to win and the thrill of victory in the agony defeat,
and it's just about money. And I know it's about money.
But when these these leagues and these networks are fighting
and they just throw it in our face, it devalues
their product. So they got to figure something out. These

(01:57:29):
billionaire CEOs got to stop fighting and they have to
figure this out because they're both ends are losing right now.

Speaker 1 (01:57:36):
All right, one last one and by way, it's sexually fun.
We should do this more often when you either one
of us trap it fire with ross, well, we should.
When I take a day alway should do the same thing. Okay,
last one. The government shutdown has canceled more flights over
the next handful of days five, four, three, two one.

Speaker 3 (01:57:55):
The system is broken beyond repair. It is only going
to get worse. Just enjoyed time with your loved ones
and try to make things as comfortable as possible before
the inevitable end.

Speaker 4 (01:58:07):
Oh, not ending on that one.

Speaker 1 (01:58:08):
No, the Houston Toros win again and they are now
nine and two on the season.

Speaker 3 (01:58:15):
We're on the twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (01:58:17):
All right, ROSSI have a safe trip to California.

Speaker 4 (01:58:20):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:58:21):
Would you give us a text? Will you tweet as
an update on TSA when you get to Hobby Just
let us know what's going on.

Speaker 3 (01:58:26):
It says eight minutes right now. Okay, so I'll.

Speaker 1 (01:58:31):
Likely have time to go home, get your bags packed,
and get you some deep Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:58:36):
I mean I'm ninety five percent packed. I just got
to go through my checklist one last time. I'm bringing
some camping stuff. No, be do are you going to
Joshua Tree?

Speaker 18 (01:58:43):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:58:44):
Not sure yet. Actually Joshua Trees in play yosemities in
play big serves in.

Speaker 4 (01:58:48):
Plays, not Big Ben Big sir. Yeah, Yeah, we'll see. Okay,
that's Ross.

Speaker 3 (01:58:53):
You're relax safe Man, Thanks you Safe, be safe. No Bears,
No go Bears go.

Speaker 8 (01:58:59):
My Jesus is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

Speaker 1 (01:59:17):
Who waiver claims.

Speaker 7 (01:59:21):
Have to be made and I've got.

Speaker 23 (01:59:26):
Trade proposals fly in my way.

Speaker 1 (01:59:31):
My first round pig turned out to be a big flop.
I don't know which.

Speaker 23 (01:59:39):
Wide receiver I need to drive. Doctor Roto give me
the news. I really don't know what I should do.
My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've got a bad cass
of fan to see blue.

Speaker 1 (02:00:02):
It is the fastest thirty minutes in major market radio.
We spend that time with Doctor Rode here on Sports
Talk seven. Doctor Roto, let's get right to it. We've
got some really good football teams, I e. The Denver
Broncos record wise, that have lousy fantasy stars. Beyond anybody
wearing Denver gear. Who else are we concerned about the
place for a good team that doesn't give us numbers

(02:00:24):
in our fantasy football league.

Speaker 18 (02:00:26):
That's a really good question. I think Darnell Mooney for example. Right,
You're like, oh, yeah, he's gonna be the Penix is
going to find him. Penix doesn't find him.

Speaker 5 (02:00:35):
Trying to look at other teams here the Bill Keon Coleman.

Speaker 18 (02:00:37):
Yeah, Josh Allen, this.

Speaker 11 (02:00:38):
Guy's a great second year player.

Speaker 5 (02:00:40):
I hasn't done anything right.

Speaker 18 (02:00:41):
So sometimes you want to be looking at teams that
have concentrated touches, like where are they going exactly? Like,
you want to be able to predict that. If it's
too spread out, it becomes a nightmare. The Broncos. I
mean that game is a nightmare, but in itself. But
you've got Angrim, You've got some You've got Franklin, you've
got Harvey, you've got Dobbins. Good luck figuring out week

(02:01:04):
to week where it's going to go. So you really
want as concentrated lineups as you can find.

Speaker 1 (02:01:08):
All right, let's get to the Sunday slate. The Colts
they rare step back to us their second one. Do
they go to Berlin and fix things against Atlanta this
Sunday morning?

Speaker 5 (02:01:17):
I think they do.

Speaker 18 (02:01:18):
I think Look last week was it was kind of predictable.
I think we talked about that, We said it was
going to be a pretty close game. Why because you're
talking about a team who everybody thought couldn't lose and
the team that everybody thought couldn't win. Well, it's the NFL,
so it all changes here. I think the Colts play
a much better game the Falcons. Their defense is good,
it's fast, it's not big, right, and I think the

(02:01:39):
Colts are going to impose their line. I think they're
going to run the ball real well. I think that
the Falcons have some problems in the back end here.
Falcons aren't a bad team, They're much better.

Speaker 5 (02:01:47):
But the Colts.

Speaker 18 (02:01:48):
I think Daniel Jones throws for about two twenty in
a touchdown. Taylor goes back for another one to two
touchdowns and one hundred points one hundred yards. I really
like Michael Pittman junior as well.

Speaker 1 (02:01:58):
Are we back on all the Ravens now that Lamar
Jackson is under center?

Speaker 18 (02:02:03):
We are back on the Ravens. Okay, So firstly, we
love Lamar. I mean you get him into all your lineups.
We like Derrick Henry a lot. I don't know if
he's you know, the greatest start, but I think sixty
seventy yards and a touchdown feels right. Minnesota plays a
lot of his own defense. I think he's a Flowers
is in play. Take Ah if you're desperate, and you

(02:02:23):
might be the Bengals are out, the Cowboys are out,
the Chiefs are out. That's a lot of firepower Rashan Bateman,
there's worse guys out there to take a shot on
with for a touchdown.

Speaker 5 (02:02:32):
I think he could be in play, all right.

Speaker 4 (02:02:35):
The Panthers are sneaky, I mean ridiculously sneaky at five
and four.

Speaker 1 (02:02:39):
Rico' donald had a big week last week. I know
he's been split in time. I didn't use him last week,
got hurt. Now he's questionable for the game coming up.
Are we okay with using either one of those Panther
running backs against Saints this Sunday?

Speaker 18 (02:02:52):
I think Rico plays. I think you start him. I
mean mt if he's playing, you start him for sure
against the Saints. Looking at I don't know, twenty to
twenty five touches, eighty five to ninety five yards in touchdown,
I mean, look what the Saints just They got rid
of Shihed, they got rid of an offensive lineman.

Speaker 5 (02:03:10):
They're done.

Speaker 18 (02:03:11):
I mean the defense will try a little bit. But
the Panthers are well coached. They are They're a well
coached team that doesn't beat itself. McMillan has been terrific.
They love ric o'dowdell, who is better than Schuba Hubbard
for that offense. So Rico Dowdell's playable and McMillan's playable.

Speaker 1 (02:03:27):
I was gonna ask you a big picture with all
the trade deadline moves, anybody raise a fantasy flag in
terms of oh, I like him in a new spot
that should help, whether it's a skill position player or
maybe somebody getting some better work, maybe a defense gets better.
Is there anything that you saw from the deadline that
made you go, okay, this guy fantasy in for a
fantasy perspective, is now in play.

Speaker 18 (02:03:48):
Well, look, I think Rasht Shaheed is in play. Maybe
not this week, but in general. I mean, what was
Seattle missing. They're missing a downfield threat, so he's certainly
in play.

Speaker 2 (02:03:57):
I think.

Speaker 18 (02:03:57):
Look, the Jets got worse on defense, so you're gonna
want to start every team against them, Like quin Shawn
Judkins is a great start this week, but the Jets
will be better in a couple of years with all
those draft picks. Look, ad Mitchell is also in a
good spot. The guy was buried on the bench in Indianapolis.
Now in New York, he's their number two receiver, So
I mean, take a look at a guy like that.

(02:04:18):
Jack Besch did nothing for the Raiders. That's kind of
a mess. I think what happened in Jacksonville actually hurts
Dammy Brown. It hurts Parker Washington because Jacoby Meyers are
going to go in there and he's gonna get some
touches right away.

Speaker 1 (02:04:31):
Rhodo, we know the commanders at three and six have
been hurt by the second year in the injuries with
Daniels and he's obviously.

Speaker 4 (02:04:37):
Out this week.

Speaker 1 (02:04:37):
Are we losing much on a fantasy perspective or are
they just a byproduct of just not having a good
enough defense Again again, they're gonna score a bunch of
point and they're gonna try to beat the Lions this Sunday.

Speaker 18 (02:04:48):
And they're not gonna score a bunch of points right
It's this a mess. This game has mess written all
over it. Marcus Mariota is in trouble. Deebo Samuel maybe
is their best look. You can't really run on the Lions,
so Bill Crosskey Merrit's not a terrific start. Chris Rodriguez,
Jeremy McNichols, It's just bad. I mean, really, it's bad.
And you know, look, the lines are going to come in.

(02:05:08):
The lines did not run the ball very well last week.
I think they're going to try to run the ball
this week. I think Gibbs has a much better week.
I think Montgomery has a good week. Ama Rossain Brown
is in a great spot. He was good last week,
he'll be good again this week. I mean, the Commanders
are just overwhelmed here, so this could be a mess.

Speaker 1 (02:05:23):
Seahawks are going full time. Did Jacoby Brissette obviously put
up some decent numbers against the Cowboys this past weekend?
Can they do it back to back road games?

Speaker 4 (02:05:33):
Going to Seattle? This Sunday.

Speaker 18 (02:05:36):
Said, no Cardinal fan ever, right, Jacoby Brissette is better
he is Kyler. I mean, I've told you about Kyler
Murray in the past. The guy just runs too much,
He takes too many sacks, and the arm angle has
a lot to do with it. So, for example, when
Michael Pennix throws the football, it takes his receiver's time
to see the spin because he's a lefty. Well, Kyler's

(02:05:57):
thrown from a different arm angle than Jacoby Brissett. Kyla's
like five ten Jacoby Pressett sixty five, so guys like McBride,
they're seeing the ball better. I think McBride's an outstanding
start this week. Marvin Harrison, I don't like him as
a start this week, but I think he's been playing
better with Jacoby Brissett there because Jacoby Brissett's not afraid
to take chances down the field, which Kyler Murray is.

(02:06:17):
I think the Cardinals are a week away from getting
Trey Benson back, so you're gonna have that de Mercado,
You're gonna have Bam Knight. Maybe de Mercado's in play,
considering that the Seahawks let up a lot of passes
to guys out out of the backfield. But Bresett's absolutely
in play, and Trey McBride's a great start, all right.
I tease.

Speaker 1 (02:06:36):
We had Iron Eagle on the show earlier today. He's
gonna call the Texans Jaguars, and I said, you got
to get your punter notes ready, because this feels like
to me, the punters are back in play. Do you
see anything sexy from a fantasy perspective in the Jaguars
Houston game Sunday at Energy Stadium.

Speaker 18 (02:06:52):
Look if Davis Mills can find Nico Collins, that would
be great, right, I mean, you have a number one
receiver there. Not even going to talk about the Christian
Kirk a revenge narrative because there's just not enough going
on here. I don't like Woody Marx really, I don't
really like Nick Chubb. I think you're looking at Schultz.
I think you're looking at Nico. I think so long
as Jacksonville the pass rush, you know, doesn't really get

(02:07:16):
in his face. If Mills has a little time, those
two guys could spike up a little bit. On the
other side, Look, Texans defense has been terrific. I don't
think this is a great week for ETN. We don't
even know if Brian Thomas is expected to play. Jacoby
Myers is in a new place. Who knows how long
that's going to take. And by the way, Trevor Lawrence
is not good. Let's just call it what it is.
We said, Kyler Murray's not good. I'm telling you Trevor

(02:07:39):
Lawrence is not good. He's not very accurate. So Jacoby Myers,
you're not going to really love playing for this guy.
So I think this game feels a lot like last week,
A defensive mess.

Speaker 1 (02:07:48):
The Texans Marketing depart would like to hear from you,
doctor Rot, because you've just poop pooed the entire game
for three hours.

Speaker 4 (02:07:53):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (02:07:55):
Are you going to speak honestly? And that's what we
love you for.

Speaker 5 (02:07:58):
What enjoy your teestis book.

Speaker 1 (02:08:01):
You're getting that game in Fort Myers already saw that,
so I've enjoy that too. Knock that out.

Speaker 5 (02:08:04):
I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (02:08:06):
All right, ladies and gentlemen, Doctor Rono is gonna answer
your questions right now. So if you want to get
your questions ready, let's go.

Speaker 17 (02:08:12):
Everybody paced has a space and the weather candy, racist fantasy,
take a ride. I want to set de side.

Speaker 1 (02:08:28):
Oh you welcome to.

Speaker 2 (02:08:37):
Togn the.

Speaker 13 (02:08:46):
Say.

Speaker 1 (02:08:51):
Here we go doctor Rono at seven one three two
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one
two five seven. If you've got a question for the
good doctor, we will take them in just a matter
of moments. Again seven one three two two five seven
ninety let's go to the phones and talk to Keso
for doctor Rot. Okay, so what's your question?

Speaker 4 (02:09:13):
Please?

Speaker 2 (02:09:14):
All right, guys, I have a two part question and
I don't want to get you confused. So the first
one is I want you to grade this trade, doctor Rodo.
And please keep in mind that I have Lamar Jackson
and Cuba as my RB two. So I sent out Dart,
Addison and Van Knight and I received David Montgomery and Loveland.
That's my first part. Doctors, hear what your thoughts are. Yeah,

(02:09:38):
it's good trade.

Speaker 18 (02:09:39):
I mean, look, if you have, if you care, if
you can trade Dart and you can get Loveland, who's
on all tick and Montgomery solid?

Speaker 2 (02:09:47):
Okay, perfect? And then I just need a flex option
two needs to play Downs Johnston or Lovelan. Thanks.

Speaker 18 (02:09:56):
Yeah, I think I'm playing Quentin Johnston for sure. This
week Pittsburgh plays a lot of men coverage and Johnson
and he set up downs is interesting. I mean, can
we trust Colston Lovelin against the Giants? Probably I'm gonna
lean Downs, but it's close.

Speaker 1 (02:10:13):
All right? Seven one, three, two, five, seven Ninty Robert
for Doctor Rono on seven Nintie Robert.

Speaker 2 (02:10:19):
Good afternoon, Hi, get after you, fellows. I have two questions.

Speaker 1 (02:10:24):
One for my tight d am I starting Exam.

Speaker 8 (02:10:27):
Laporta this week?

Speaker 1 (02:10:28):
Or am I starting Tyler Warren?

Speaker 15 (02:10:29):
And for my kicker, am I starting Kerry Osatos or
Jake Elliott.

Speaker 18 (02:10:35):
Who was the first one, with Laporter who was the
other choice.

Speaker 4 (02:10:37):
I didn't he hung up. I did not hear the answer.
I think it's Tyler Warren.

Speaker 5 (02:10:41):
I could be if it is.

Speaker 18 (02:10:44):
The Falcons are really good against opposing tight ends. But
I mean, Warren is you know you don't bention ever,
so I think I'm going with him. Look, kickers, dude,
this is the no offense. I hate kicker questions. It
is so random.

Speaker 5 (02:10:57):
Here's what you do.

Speaker 18 (02:10:59):
You try to find a kicker a good team, especially
in a dome. Find a guy that can get you
like three touchdowns in a field goal. Hopefully you get
yourself six or seven points. If you get yourself on
a guy on a team like let's say the Jets,
and the Jets don't score, you get zero. If the
Jets fall behind by fourteen, you get zero. So you
want kickers on good teams.

Speaker 3 (02:11:16):
Please tell me you are still pro kicker in fantasy football.

Speaker 4 (02:11:19):
Please tell me this.

Speaker 11 (02:11:20):
I am not.

Speaker 18 (02:11:21):
I mean I'm not, but I play in the leagues
that half of them have. Here's what the leagues do.
They call them team kickers. So basically, whoever the kicker is,
you get that team's kicker because you don't want to
draft the guy, and then it gets hurt and you're
picking up guys.

Speaker 5 (02:11:34):
It's a it's a pain in the bot.

Speaker 1 (02:11:35):
Untill right seven one three two one two five seven.
Oni couple lines and open. If you want to get
in your questions, you can do so. Seven one three
two one two five seven. Auntie Sean on email says,
who do I sit Tes Johnson, Garrett Wilson, Romeo dobbs
or Alec Pierce.

Speaker 18 (02:11:54):
So, look, you're playing Garrett Wilson. Surprisingly if he plays,
you play him. They play a lot of man coverage
and Justin Field's gonna find him. I like Dobbs too.
I think Dobbson is in a decent spot. Chris Godwin's not.

Speaker 5 (02:12:06):
Going to play.

Speaker 18 (02:12:07):
I think Tes Johnson is in play. Alec Pierce had
his moment last week. I don't think this is another
Alec Pierce week, so I will bench him. Don't look
at last week's numbers and expect this week's numbers.

Speaker 1 (02:12:20):
It won't happen, all right, Uh pedro Tes Johnson, McMillan
or the amount of guys I'm I'm mispronouncing his name.

Speaker 5 (02:12:28):
I'm sure no no, No, Monong guy is possible.

Speaker 18 (02:12:31):
The problem is this, if they literally said this today,
they're going to go with the hot hand. Great, you
know that I made that like a hole in the head, right,
If DeAndre Swift is doing well, were they going to
do not playing an on guy.

Speaker 5 (02:12:42):
It's a tough one. I just read literally during the break.

Speaker 18 (02:12:45):
Tes McMillan has a hamstring injury. He's questionable. So I
will say this, If McMillan plays, you play him. If
you don't, I think I would go with Tesz Johnson
because with the monog Guy Swift thing, unless one of
those guys is out, you're looking at ten touches.

Speaker 5 (02:13:00):
It's not enough, all right?

Speaker 1 (02:13:02):
So you you you piqued my interest on Garrett Wilson.
Uh Now, Keenan Allen's my extra receiver. So that's not great.
But why are we going to Wilson just because the
Jets don't give a damn anymore? And I mean no, no, no, no.

Speaker 18 (02:13:16):
So look, it's like it's like boxing or MMA styles
make fights, right, So Cleveland, you can't run on Cleveland.
You can throw in Cleveland? What is Cleveland play man coverage?
Who is one of the best man coverage beaters in
the NFL. Garrett Wilson. If you were ever gonna play
him MT, this is the week to do it. I
would play Wilson over Keenan Allen ten times out of ten.

Speaker 1 (02:13:36):
All right, if you if this goes, I'm gonna I'm
gonna move him in and move out to Keenan Allen.
If it works, you're gonna be We're going to retire
your jersey number. I don't know those are such a
thing as our fantasy football retirement jersey, but you're gonna get.

Speaker 5 (02:13:46):
It, all right.

Speaker 1 (02:13:48):
Anything else in terms of any sneaky late Saturday pickups
that could make a difference this week.

Speaker 18 (02:13:55):
Yeah, So look, if McMillan is out, you want to
hedge with Jalen co Jalen Coker was out for the
first four weeks. He got injured in pre season, but
he's pretty done good. He's better than leaguet tell you
that right now. So I would hedge on Coker just
in case on that one. Also, Ramandra Stevenson out Trayveon

(02:14:16):
Henderson if you have him, he's way more interesting today
than he was yesterday, so you know, And once again
with the Buck, they let up a lot of short passes.
That's right in the range of Trayvon Henderson. So those
are guys on the watch list right now.

Speaker 1 (02:14:30):
All right, let's get before we get to your lock
of the week, we'll talk to Sam on seven Ony, Sam,
what's your question for Doctor Roto?

Speaker 19 (02:14:36):
Yes, Sir, I had a question about which receivers starred
either Stefan Diggs or Khalil Shakir this week.

Speaker 18 (02:14:45):
Yeah, we're gonna go with Diggs, So Tampa tough defense
to run against. You're gonna throw also Boutet. I don't
expect him to play. I think he's been ruled out
as well. Kyle Williams is a rookie. So they're gonna
throw to Diggs. They're gonna throw to Pop Douglas, They're
gonna throw to Hunter Henry thinks as their number one guy.

Speaker 5 (02:15:01):
I think Digs a great start this week.

Speaker 1 (02:15:03):
All right, ladies, gentlemen, we asked Doctor Roto once a
week to give us the knockdown, drag out guaranteed winner
for your fantasy football team. We present to you Dr
Roto's Lock of the Week. Rota, where are we going.

Speaker 2 (02:15:19):
For you?

Speaker 18 (02:15:19):
Jay S and Jackson Smith Jigba against the zone coverage
is the best in the league. What is Arizona play
zone defense?

Speaker 5 (02:15:28):
Not good?

Speaker 18 (02:15:29):
Seattle's been on a here this year. They look great.
They're going home. She could have eighty yards and a
touchdown by halftime.

Speaker 5 (02:15:37):
I think he has one twenty for the game. Lock
him in.

Speaker 1 (02:15:40):
That is Doctor Roto's lock of the week. Roider, Where
can we find you between now and Sunday early morning?
Because of that game? And in Ireland? And I no's
is an Ireland word.

I have one and I'm iffy about this other one,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna switch it up.

Speaker 5 (02:16:57):
I might have to.

Speaker 1 (02:16:58):
All right, we got non Florida stories coming up next,

Speaker 8 (02:17:42):
We find interesting stories that sure outside.

Speaker 1 (02:17:47):
The state of Florida and share them with the people

Speaker 8 (02:18:04):
I'll s time for no Florida.

Speaker 5 (02:18:14):
I'm coast to coast, will grade strange and wild.

Speaker 8 (02:18:21):
No alligator tales.

Speaker 19 (02:18:24):
But something that will make you smile.

Speaker 8 (02:18:29):
It's time for laughs from far and wild.

Speaker 1 (02:18:36):
In this crazy world.

Speaker 2 (02:18:39):
There's no all.

Speaker 7 (02:18:44):
Right, here we go.

Speaker 1 (02:18:47):
I'll go with the PG story first, Jonathan, before I
get to the one that's probably a little more uncomfortable.
That's fair that we do it every Friday here on
the program unless we play the fantasy five. And here's
how it works. We find stories outside the state of
Florida that we think are interesting to you. Most people
like to do the wacky Florida stories. What's going on
in Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa, Saint Petersburg. Know, we go something different.

(02:19:09):
We go anywhere else in this country except there. So
I will start with today's story and we'll talk about
a gentleman. Let make sure I get this right here.
This is a gentleman who's a former Air Force employee
from Bahar, India.

Speaker 3 (02:19:29):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (02:19:32):
He is a seventy four year old resident of the
Kanchi village in the Gaya district. And there was a
funeral in which he attended. I don't know if you
knew that or not, but I'm here to tell you, well,
it was his funeral, huh, Except when the funeral procession started,

(02:19:53):
he rose from his casket.

Speaker 4 (02:20:02):
He was never dead, he was alive.

Speaker 1 (02:20:07):
He staged his own funeral, and he said to the
people there, who will come to see me after my death?
And he wanted to see who showed up.

Speaker 4 (02:20:20):
So thus he staged his funeral.

Speaker 1 (02:20:23):
To ensure that this initiative reached as many people as possible,
he devised a plane where he spread news of his
own death and organize a funeral procession through the entire
village with a statue of himself placed on the buyer.
Hundreds of villagers took part in this fake funeral, Many
shed tears, some offered garlands of flowers. Many villagers appeared

(02:20:45):
distressed by his death. However, when this guy, Mohinlai appeared
alive and smiling after some time, everyone was astonished. Man
A Lai said, I just wanted to see who would
come after my death, and the crowd that gathered today
understood that people really loved me. The viral The video
of the of the incident has gone viral on social media,

(02:21:07):
and many have praised moralized initiative. Some support of his
unique idea, while others called it crazy but emotional. If
you stage your own death to see who's gonna show up,
shut youo bumass up man.

Speaker 3 (02:21:22):
That's gotta be.

Speaker 1 (02:21:23):
That is terrible.

Speaker 3 (02:21:27):
How they're gonna feel when he acted dies. I feel
like this, oh man.

Speaker 1 (02:21:30):
Like now, Kirby Enthusiasm did an episode with that, and
it's trying to be very funny because he was hoarding
uh uh, what do you call it? The h the
hand clintoned sanitizer Albert Brook stage his own death too,
and people came to that and that was a pretty
funny episode. But here is the thing that is a

(02:21:52):
part B of this story. Due to this event, the
village has received permanent facilities for cremation because what you
don't want to do is send a live man to
his death in the cremation facilities. Right, So now there
is a suitable place for cremation in any season without

(02:22:13):
any difficulty. I think that is absolutely horrific that a
seventy four year old retired Air Force veteran from India
which stage his own death to see who would show up.

Speaker 3 (02:22:26):
Someone gotta help on someone.

Speaker 1 (02:22:28):
Really, if you're vain like that, then throw your own
birthday party, but don't stage your own death.

Speaker 3 (02:22:34):
That's right, that's yeah. Someone's gotta get him a hug.
Someone's gotta check on him.

Speaker 1 (02:22:38):
Somebody's gonna check on But so that's that's my first
non Flora story from India. That seventy four year old
Air Force veteran said, you know what I want to
see who loves me? So I'm gonna stage my own death.
That's my non Flora story number one. You are next,
all right?

Speaker 9 (02:22:52):
Next?

Speaker 3 (02:22:53):
Mine is nowhere near. Mine's a little quirky. I guess uh.

Speaker 16 (02:22:57):
This is headed into Spain. The New York Post we
reported that there was a group of thieves, six men
and a woman. Apparently they're arrested for the crime of
stealing chairs more than eleven hundred chairs. This group of
people will go undercover in the darkness at late at
night and we'll go to outdoor seating areas for several

(02:23:22):
different restaurants and bars throughout Madrid and take them and
then resell them in Morocco and Romania. The estimated price
of these and the profit they had got was sixty
thousand euros or seventy nine thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:23:40):
Around here in the USD.

Speaker 1 (02:23:43):
And they're selling chairs.

Speaker 16 (02:23:45):
They're selling chairs amid a profit of seventy thousand, seven
thousand dollars that go in. So say your next to
Big City Wings and next the next morning you know
owners there, All the chairs from outside are gone.

Speaker 1 (02:23:58):
Why are people taking chairs? There are some randall places.

Speaker 16 (02:24:02):
They made it a seventy thousand dollars I mean, I'm
and then went to eighteen different restaurants.

Speaker 3 (02:24:07):
It says right here.

Speaker 1 (02:24:09):
Now if you want, if Big City Wings wants to
sell my my Matt Thomas booth at the Kingwood location,
that could be worth five six thousand dollars.

Speaker 16 (02:24:17):
I get that, you know about girl was just asking
what because we went to the different restaurant and she's like,
where is this booth at?

Speaker 3 (02:24:22):
I was like, how do you know about that?

Speaker 1 (02:24:23):
But yeah, big City Wings, Kingwood location sit in the
Matt Thomas booth. It is a magical place to enjoy
a fantastic wings, great burgers, great drinks and of course
my sign all right, Jonathan, all right, here we go,
here we go.

Speaker 14 (02:24:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:24:40):
I'm going to preface this by saying this is an
uncomfortable story. It's not grotesque, but it's uncomfortable. I'm gonna
tell you about a gentleman by the name of Tala Mulin.
All right, john That he's fifty one years old, Okay.
He lives in Bangkok Highland. He was arrested as he

(02:25:06):
conducted a delicate procedure in the backseat of his vintage
Tota Corolla.

Speaker 3 (02:25:12):
Procedure mm hmm okay.

Speaker 1 (02:25:16):
Mullan allegedly offered Genitalia genital enhancement treatments to men in
that region, in spite of the fact he's not licensed
to perform such services. Mullan promoted his business on TikTok

(02:25:38):
offering penis enlargement, circumcision, and wait for it, pearl implantations.

Speaker 3 (02:25:54):
Let me look that up and is that like in
large when?

Speaker 1 (02:26:00):
Okay, you know what penis enlargement is, you know what
circumcision is?

Speaker 15 (02:26:03):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:26:06):
Oh my adding it?

Speaker 5 (02:26:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:26:11):
He says he learned how to do these surgeries by
watching social media videos. Quote. I became interested in this
line of work, so I studied and developed it as
a side hustle to supplement my income. What authorities found
no sterilizing equipment in the makeshift operating theater, but they

(02:26:36):
did find local anesthetics, surgical blades, needles, and other equipment.
Mullin was charged with practicing medicine without registration and authorization.

Speaker 4 (02:26:49):
Which could land him in prison for three years. So, Jonathan,
the question I have for you is, would.

Speaker 1 (02:26:57):
You consider penis in large argement in the back of
somebody's vehicle? Or circumcision or the apparently much anticipated and
very popular pearl implantations?

Speaker 7 (02:27:11):
Get it?

Speaker 4 (02:27:12):
Get it?

Speaker 3 (02:27:13):
This sounds like a horror movie, like and people are
willingly doing this. This is crazy.

Speaker 16 (02:27:21):
No, No, I would think I'm getting kidnapped to sell
off the black market or something.

Speaker 1 (02:27:28):
And what would anybody. Why would anybody think in a
million years that a Tota Corolla would be a good
spot for this to happen.

Speaker 16 (02:27:37):
This is gonna be your most insane story I've heard
in so far that, oh, I've got some doozies, but
this is crazy.

Speaker 1 (02:27:43):
So I'll throw the question out there if any of
you had procedures involving your genitalia perform in the back
of a vintage Tota Corolla seven one three two one
five seven ninety. The whole pearl thing is making me feel.

Speaker 3 (02:28:04):
I'm not gonna live.

Speaker 8 (02:28:08):
Yikes.

Speaker 1 (02:28:12):
And that was my non Florida story for the day.
My two non Flora Stay do you have everything else?

Speaker 2 (02:28:17):

Speaker 3 (02:28:22):
This is in Thailand as well. This is a district
of fan Tong.

Speaker 16 (02:28:29):
Want a victim her she was doing laundry and I
guess she was doing outside of the air dry and
she had a complaint that her undergarments were just disappearing.
So after a couple of days on October twenty nine,
she started installing cameras and then you know, did her
no more laundry and coming to find out there were
three men just coming in taking trophies and police has

(02:28:53):
not caught them, and she is now afraid that she
is getting stucked.

Speaker 4 (02:28:58):
