Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Ten oh one of Age Town. Good morning or is it?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
It?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Is a Tuesday edition of The Matt Thomas Show with
Ross here on Sports Talk seven ninety alongside mister Ross,
Villaryale and our producer Jonathan Allen. I am Matt Thomas
and we are very happy to have you with us today.
I don't offer in a great mood today. Frankly, seven
to nothing after three was not fun last night, taking
a couple couple of dumb ass calls, and the tenth

(00:30):
inning show wasn't fun last night.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Hey, Alicia got calls.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
I like no.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
I prefer dumbass calls to no calls on the post game. Hey,
you know it's funny. I'll say this and I don't
mean it personally, but we don't always have great takes.
I suffer from that rarely. Just check out to tell
the truth every Monday, folks, eleven thirty. I have to
work with someone for four hours a day that occasionally
has an off take. Yes, we all can't beat we

(00:56):
all aren't perfect. Maybe wex but that's about as close again. Well,
the Astros got down huge. Ryan Gusto gave up a
bunch of runs after Lance mccullors Junior did the same
thing on Saturday. You're searching for pitching depth. It's going
to be an unknown starting on Wednesday. And the other

(01:16):
two teams in Texas are at the top of the
NBA lottery. Wonderful Monday. Here I'm doing the wonderful. I'm
doing the astros on deck from minute major or see
me dyk in park hit me? Yeah, you know what
was Friday perfect? Last time I did just great. I
did the pregame from the park and I think that
made me. It was in my brain. I said it
twice and I had not said it all year. But

(01:37):
so it's difficult, man. I was a dyking Yeah it
sounds different. This is what it is. Uh, And I
had to stop what I was doing because, look, no
disrespect in Kansas City, Houston, but it's a Monday night.
It's not necessarily top of mind. Michael Walker versus Ryan Gusta, Waca, waca, waca.
You know, it is what it is. And he was
good and Ryan Gusta was not. So the lottery was

(02:01):
going on. I'm like, you know what, I'll give them
play I play the lottery. And I was like, okay.
At fourteen thirteen at twelve, and then the Rockets showed
up at ten. I'm like, oh, it was deflating, and
then it went nine. They skipped eight, seven, six, five.
When we come back Charlotte, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Dallas, and

(02:23):
I thought to myself, there's a fifty to fifty chance
that Cooper Flag is playing the Houston Rockets four times
a year for the foreseeable future, for at least what
five years? It was a long commercial break, a long
one waiting for that.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
So then I went back to our mound matchup.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, so I segued to that took when took a
fine commercial break from our awesome seven nineties. You have
to do a mound matchup if a guy's only going
to be in there for two and the thirds innings,
too soon. Sorry, So you're saying that basically for three
fifths of the astros rotation of these excuse to be
three six one half of you you think? Do you
think Ron Guss was talking trash Lance Colors? He's like
one third of an inning, look at me, bro two

(03:02):
and a third? What's up?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I don't think he's calling him bro w what's up?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
No, no, no, no, maybe not.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
And then Charlotte. Is it Charlotte, Pildelphia, Philadelphia, Charlotte. I
think it's Charlotte, Philip. I believe Charlotte Philadelphia. And I'm like,
oh my god, Cooper Flag is going to stay in
the Southwest Division? Are they going to put him him?
They meaning the the frozen lottery ping pong balls. Are
they gonna go with Victor wibbin Yama and to fine Castle?

(03:30):
The last two rookies of the year. Would you dare
put Cooper Flag with him? All in the Aaron Fox?
Oh no, no, no, no, you give the Dallas Mavericks.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Not you give.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I gotta stop doing that, the lottery, said the NBA gods.
The NBA gods said the Dallas Mavericks. You deserve something
nice because you're full of pain and grief and starro
because your general manager is an idiot. Now how big
of an idiot he's going to be, we don't know.
Because if Luca Dodges continues to be dowey and argue
with officials and not play defense, he may look he

(04:03):
may be looking okay at the end of the day.
Didn't get enough in return, that's for absolute sure. But again,
Luca Don wakes up. We've had him on a yearly
basis the last couple of years. The nico Astros, the
coach from east get mad at you. We thought we

(04:26):
Brian King Darryl's next week and we find a sandwich
your name all over and your specialty. But now that
they got the number one overall pick, it makes you're
of the best. You're like top social. We've said more
time than.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
That, and we are on those streets all right.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
So ross are going to Charles next week for a
couple of days on our By the way, we got
a definitive name Tomorrow's trouble spot. Okay, Steve, like Charles over,
I really want to get down to talk like Charles Louisiana,
the local spot, the local heaven g instead of such
a boss up.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
I mean definitely you know what boys oh heaven.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
I got to find out what he was talking about,
because I think he was talking about the Wednesday second.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
I think twenty. I'm sure the opposite to.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Shut your bomb ass up heaving. Not really, no, Okay,
maybe maybe I messaged the conversation. Okay, let me move on.
I just full jump, sorry about that. Sorry, So you
want to drop your name and seemed to get at
least one free okay signature and it's not good John,
congratulations on another successful start of the season. Figures straight

(05:40):
and asking a lot of the guys as the last handful.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
Of days minutes, seventeen days and.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Seventeen I asked your manager, but this one he was
with us the last home. This was almost like, ye,
did you get the Nick call to go warm up
because you just can't waste those nights get hot?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Is that very all time reprieve.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
Yes, we're previous, perfect right.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Pardon whatever you want to say.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
It was Nico Harrison in and man one point eight percent.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
A tough situation being in the.

Speaker 8 (06:16):
Day.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Ninety percent of the tweets were and right now this
bullpen has been used like going up to you kind
of this is you're one of those guys there are
always morning going this day is Rick, you need to
when you're gonna get out there?

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I mean, do you have that kind of leverage you
want to?

Speaker 1 (06:36):
I mean whenever they I do believe in the envelope
for Patrick ewing In, then okay.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
You know everybody down there.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Sure that day the Nicks Patrick doing the number one pick.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
There to go.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
I do believe we're not talking about forty years back
in there.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
If you have a good one with the security, it
seems like you've been established as the seventh inning role.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
With a brave, you're taking over a ninth it was Is.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
That ever just about impressed formally or did you anybody
talking you about that?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Is that something that happened Stump for the logo.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
It's impossible. It just you have so many people over
seeing it. The results are certified by Ernst.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
That's a good company. The way you've never gone away.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
They always sortifyed awards. Grammy that like you've been there's
so much in your career and multi organized people to
watch surgery. Was it like nervous? Happy? Understand why the conversations.
I understand conspiracy theories in general, and I understand why
you would say, oh, it's rigged, But we have to
think logically.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
This is a billion dollar industry.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
If it was rigged, they would lose so much of
their credibility and and like.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
I said, people are over watching it. And at the
end of the day, if the league could just rig.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
The lottery draft here on Sports Talks Reliever, can you
explain the difference for US lay people. The biggest market
team sweeper forty years has been called when I right
about that? And what exactly I don't know his name
because everybody's got conditional squats.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
It's very confusing.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I mean, I know, we feel sorry for ourselves because
super flys and they're playing.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
For the Dallas Mamicks. But could you imagine the Utah Jazz.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
The Utah Jazz got fine during the course of the
Ross for setting out too many players for super tanking.
I think we can go along with a lot of
to say, oh, this was like Charlotte because he's left
in a bullpen, Dallas because they lost one of them
in history because they're trying to build up. It's a

(08:46):
little bit. I don't even know there's somebody.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
On the Houston. I think I ever gets ridden for Houston,
although Houston did win.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's why they went to the lottery because of Houston
winning back to back number one overall picks. Yeah, you
guys forming a gang, Like what are you do? You
like us to me? And I was like, oh, maybe
the NBA is ricked. That was like a joke, and
I think you around, really really really think kind of
NBA is right do you.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Think you're wrong?

Speaker 4 (09:11):
You so you got with the punch.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Let's do this today. Everybody's got a claim parlor right
this a few times during the course, because sometimes I
come up with these great intently.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Forget about about one thirty Everything right handed?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Okay, what are right right hand? The best sports conspiracy?
Golf right handed? You absolutely know you see do you
bat when you bat left or right handed? My top
two would be coming up one.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I tried bat up.

Speaker 9 (09:41):
You don't be a lot of raked for certain tatives
list it will be a terrible I got number too,
So I'm gonna take this now fifty two years old.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Extendard you and I serious extended brothers, brothers because series extend. Yeah,
I on everything else in my life. And the last
comparison between the two of us, I mean, Jason T
what do you talk about? Maybe his achilles? But they
were down nine points of three minutes left. It was
basically so I haven't given the conspiracy the same person.

(10:18):
In order to help extend, I got a list of
some big ones. And what you mentioned already is number
two on this list, which is Patrick Ewing frozen envelope.
Now I can't put that on my list. Let me
tell you something. You don't got a girl right now.
Today you're able to use show that you like to

(10:40):
talk about, which really aren't I believe? Yeah, okay, and
know what, I'm probably wrong about that Ross? All right?
What else you go on? Watching nothing else? Forty five
feeling seasons? When New York being a flagship franchise the NBA,

(11:04):
it's basically you're like for somebody else with the words
on the next number one media market the country. Plus
the Georgetown kid big time that I mean, yeah, they're
doing a horrible won a championship. Gratulations in the Great
Star keep that. I mean they did win a conference championship.

(11:29):
Knowing little I was going to get us dary to me,
we're gonna take a picture of it, putting your hand
in a a little what it called, So what would
be feeling would be more compensations, a lot of sense.
I mean, how long did he dig around? I have
to watch the video and learning on that Ross Ross.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Call it that's theories.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Okay, thank you punks around here that are antil you
know your hearts is not really you have to baskets
let us seven one three two one two five seven
seven one three two one two five seven good when
your age, or is that we should even talk about?
Twelve thirty Joe A spot of the after I set

(12:15):
back at the Royals last night. One twenty It's the
return of Ross's NFL rewind my.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Twenty first birthday one.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Brian King joins the radio show and believe it or not,
fifty like an athletic department rule, like you guys can't
go anywhere near the can not appearing on the NFL
international stage again. Well McNee tool cols the casinos and
mission god to deal school and then she's gone to

(12:44):
London Paris. She probably said she didn't go to London
real experience. Hey, Brian, misson for the time, like this weekend,
we look forward to talking with you down Cow's Like,
let's go to Phoenix, let's go left handed extraordination prior
to McNeice University. There's no fashion runway in Tucson. There's
a fashion runway in Paris. We feel bad for her.

(13:10):
Sports conspiracies that you know in your heart really don't exist.
Seven one three two one two five seven ninetie seven
one three two one two five seven NINTI It is
the Matt Thomas Show with Wrong It's ten to fourteen
on Sports Talk seven ninety. Friend of the show, Jay
just sent me an email. Makes perfect sense. Sports conspiracies
that we shouldn't believe. Kansas City Chiefs Pat Mahomes getting

(13:34):
breaks so the Chiefs can win the AFC and win
the Super Bowl. I think it's right. Spot on One
talked about that most recently during all the playoffs, that
Pat Mahomes was getting some benefit of the doubt called
the NFL rigging it for the Kansas City, for Kansas City, Missouri. Yeah,
that's fine. How about the one also with that Travis
Kelcey and Taylor Swift are only together so you get

(13:56):
to cross promotion and get more female fans in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
That's a conspiracy theory people believe in. That's not a
good one. What else would there be?

Speaker 8 (14:08):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Uh oh, I got one that Uh. No, I think
I think the NFL. No, I don't think. I don't
think the NFL is trying to keep them together. I
think the NFL is just taking advantage of their relationship
because it works. The female audiences skyrocketed since their relationship. Yeah,
and they're probably just gonna go away once they break up,

(14:30):
or maybe they're gonna get married and live happily ever after.
I'm wishing them the best, are you really? What do
you give a gift of someone that's worth multiple billions?

Speaker 8 (14:37):
Don't?

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I wouldn't give them a dime. Well, if you got
in by the wedding, I can give them a card.
You would give them a card to nothing else? Yeah,
I put Marshall's gift card fifteen bucks a Marshall's gift card.
The sneaky thing about Marshalls is you. I wouldn't even
go get closed. I'd just stay in the snack area.
Oh it was good too. The Marshals by the Marshall's

(14:58):
snack area is phenomenal. Hey, uh, do I need five
pounds of sour patch kids? Probably not, but I'm buying it.
I'm gonna give you the sneaky Marshall's pick. We should
have a fantasy five of Marshalls snacks.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
It's actually genius. There is a bag of waffle cone
tails you can buy.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Huh. You know, and when you when you get the drumstick,
the bottom of it is that is not that? Would
you call it the tail? What would you call the
end of the the ass end I believe the ass
of the stick. Don't quote me on that clip. It
shut up. It's full of chocolate. My favorite part is
Jonathan's shaking his head at disappointment. So there's I got

(15:40):
a bag at Marshall's one time full of the ass
of the chocolate of the steak. You guys know what
I'm talking about. So like you don't play don't play
rude with me. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Okay,
So uh let me see the mask A Ross is
a list we're gonna run through here and he's gonna

(16:01):
see if if I buy these things or not.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Okay, let's see here seven.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
One three two one two five seven ninety seven to
one three two one two five seven night. Let's talk
to Marty online two on the Matt Thomas Show at Ross.
I'm a little for clemped Marty, good morning to you,
Good morning. You'll never convince me, no matter how much
they screamed from the mountaintops that Tim Donahey was the
only ref fixing games and the only ref betting on games.

(16:28):
There's no way I would not Marty add that to
the list. So I'm going to agree with you do.
I believe in the NBA back in the day, whether
it had been when if Donahey was officiating or others
officials were officiating twenty thirty years prior to that. I
think there's such a full proof system now of cross

(16:50):
checking balances rossing that you can't do it now. So
I will not add to the list. I will agree
with Marty and say that there were probably more than
one official, whether it be during Donnahy's timer before that,
that probably helped teams. But the NBA investigated said he
didn't fix games, and you're smirking.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
At least you're smirking.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, I mean, did it happen at some point in
the history, I imagine, especially probably in the when things
are really running rampant with the mob. Let's go back
to for Donahue for a second. Okay, would the NBA
just ice now? Would the mob or whatever you want
to call a gambling group? Would they isolate to one
official and say, you know what, we can keep one

(17:37):
guy quiet, that it's harder to keep two and three
guys quiet. Probably, I don't know. We'd have to go
talk to our mob consultant about that. Do we have
a mob consultant.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Now, I was gonna say, who is our mob consultant?

Speaker 10 (17:47):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (17:49):
That guy that's all over Uh, that guy, he's all
over YouTube.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
What's his name? Former mob boss? Guido? No, former mob
boss breaks down iconic films or whatever. Michael Fransese. That
sounds mafios. So hey, it's a Michael Fransese and I'm
about to break down the top ten most iconic mob scenes.

Speaker 11 (18:13):
Here.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Here's Robert de Niro, and analyze this.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
I always see that on YouTube. He's everywhere.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Have I seen Analyze this? That's a comedy. I'm gonna say, yes, No,
that's not a violent mob film. You're right. If anything's
violent or interesting or good, you haven't seen it. But
I mean, that's just like a regular fluffy comedy. See it.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
It's not a must watch.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
But if if it's a Saturday afternoon and you're looking
for something to watch on Max, put on analyze this.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
It's funny.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Okay, it's Robert de Niro, Billy Crystal. It's good. You
like Billy Crystal.

Speaker 11 (18:46):
It's up.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, it's a mob boss getting therapy. So it's funny.
Fish out of water kind of like the Sopranos, but
with less violence very well said seven one three two
one two five Sevenini, let's go to Tom on seven
ninety ten twenty five high. Tom, Hey, guys, how's were going?

Speaker 5 (19:03):
Good?

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Well? Good?

Speaker 8 (19:05):
My theory that I just don't believe is Jimmy Butler
is Michael Jordan's illegitimate son.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Is that rampant or is that just one tweet or something?

Speaker 11 (19:19):
No, Like there's like repskin YouTube videos. They do a breakdown.

Speaker 8 (19:22):
Apparently Jimmy Butler doesn't know who his father is and
his mother was apparently an exotic dancer.

Speaker 11 (19:30):
They cracked it.

Speaker 8 (19:31):
Down to like Michael Jordan was playing in Dallas around
the time of the conception of Jimmy Butler. So the
only way you can believe it's true if she decided
to drive from Houston to Dallas, m.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Or fly Yeah, I mean south West go's every dark
Brescos every half hour used to NBA player. I'm not
saying Michael Jordan did this, but NBA players fly the
girl in Uh I am not. I'm not saying you don't.
Uh yeah, I would probably lean towards that not being accurate.
I'd have to do some more investigating mat Okay, I
don't know enough information about any of that. Well, you know,

(20:10):
you can ask NBC Sports contributor Michael jordanan now who
is on that. Yeah, I think he's going to bring
it up in his first time he's when he's on.
You know, we haven't heard from you in a while.
M Jay. How many illegitimate children do you have? And
is one of them a guy makes a couple hundred
million dollars playing for the Golden State Warriors. By the way,
has Golden State got suddenly super old in the last
twenty four to forty years?

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Well, Steph Curry is also not playing. Yeah, it's kind
of different.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
I mean he's you know, changes obviously everything offensively, the
Rockets were sending two three guys out of every possession.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
You take him off the floor. It's tough.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeap seven one three, two one two five seven, ninety ten,
twenty eight is our time. It is the Matt Thomas work. No, no,
goot mine down too sweet.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, that's why I'm can't. I can't collars. I'm sorry
it's not working either.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, it's great anyways, the masters chatter later on in
the program. Of course, we'll do it all throughout the show.

Speaker 11 (21:00):
If you want to do.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Bring up your local nine seven to one, three, two one,
two five seven nine. We will have Joe spot at
twelve thirty and at won thirty. Brian King, Astro's reliever,
didn't pitch last night, was one of the few didn't
because unfortunately, uh Ryan Gusto does not want to go
deep into games. I mean he's trying to. But the
Royal scored three in the second, three, four and the

(21:22):
third and by the time you didn't settle down like
Saturday night settled down. But by the time you were
comfany ready to sit down and watch the heart of
the order.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
You're down seven to nothing. Not ideal, but they battled back.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Matt got it to within seven to five, had a
couple of opportunities even clear closer than that.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
But yeah, the Royals take game one of the series. Astros.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Oh, the Yankees did beat the Mariners last night, so
the Astros don't don't lose any ground, but they have
dropped from third second to third place because the A's
were off yesterday. The Athletics are game and a half
out of first, which is I mean, not completely stunning.
The division's mediocre. So if you get off to an
average start, you're gonna have a shot at and keeping

(22:05):
things close. Astro is now twenty and twenty on the
year and our two back of the Mariners a first
place in American League West. All right, we're fighting and
that tough, rugged, hyper competitive American League West. Mean, it's
the AFC south of baseball. That's terrible. You're twenty and
twenty in your two games back. Not a good division, thankfully.

(22:26):
Did you know what I literally is talking up the
Mariners last week and they lost four to row. Don't
talk to Mariners. Oh, they were playing well, they were
winning a lot of games that they were building up
a nice lead. They had like a four game lead
in the American League West. Yeah, and then they lost
four in a row, got swept by the Blue Jays,
lost the Yankees yesterday.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
And that's how all those games are in saddle by
the way too. All right, let's go back on the phones.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Let's say how to our friend Johnny in Sandy Ago
at ten thirty four as a Matt Thomas old Ross,
we're looking for those of you to join us with
sports conspiracies. Remember, not sports conspiracies, it's sports conspiracies that
you know in your heart.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Of hearts, you don't really believe Johnny, Good morning to you.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Good morning.

Speaker 12 (23:08):
First off, I wanted to make sure that Jonathan passed
my message on yesterday about the dynamic pricing for the
baseball food that I had already trademarked that two weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
So you're out.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
No, we didn't hear that. But Johnny, I'm gonna be
honest with you. I'm gonna be honest with you. One
hundred people a day called Jonathan and be like, hey,
tell the guys this, and we just don't have.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Time for that.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
So so it's not Jonathan's fault. There's a lot of
things Jonathan goes wrong. You'll eventually hear them during the
course of the show. But that's that's I'm not gonna
fall Jonathan. We we even told them. We're like, yeah,
we don't need to hear every little thing somebody wants
to pass because I want to get those but we
thank you.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Send an email, send it, tweet, I hear you.

Speaker 7 (23:47):
Yeah, I got you, I got Youah.

Speaker 12 (23:49):
So my conspiracy theory is that the NBA covered up
Michael Jordan and his dad's gambling issues and prevented basketball
fans from getting the Bulls Rockets finals matchup in ninety
four and ninety five. They just said, hey, buddy, we
need you to take a break from the NBA, go

(24:11):
play baseball, and then come back once it's settled down.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Okay, Now for the second caller though, Johnny, or the
third caller we've had on this. We're looking for conspiracy
theories that you don't believe. I'm for the for the
second straight caller, Johnny, I do believe that one. I
do believe the NBA told Michael Jordana go away for
a while. I believe that conspiracy.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
I believe that too.

Speaker 12 (24:33):
But I get told all the time, I'm crazy, that
didn't really happen. Nobody has agreed with me. I guess
until you know so, I was impression that that didn't
really happen.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Yeah, I believe it. Thank you Johnny for the phone call,
and enjoy your rest of your day in San Diego. Yeah. Yeah,
I I do believe that Michael's father's passing had to
do something with gambling in debts. I do believe that
the NBA said Michael Goldway for a couple of years,
get your act together, cleanse yourself of this. Go try baseball.

(25:05):
Go do whatever you want to do, because you're still
a frequently good athletic athlete in the primier career. Yeah.
So yeah, by the way, I think I gave Marshall
excuse me, Darshals too much credit.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Oh you did.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah. The place that has the snacks? Mm hmm my
buddy West's texting me it's TJ Snacks.

Speaker 11 (25:24):
Do they have it?

Speaker 1 (25:25):
But Ross has it? And Darshals does too? Do they
really think they do?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:29):
On top, Darshals does have it. Yeah, okay, because I
only got them at TJ Snacks? Is that what you're
calling him? And West says those waffle cone tips are addictive. Yeah,
that's what they're called. Waffle cone tips.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
T I p s.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Somebody sent us a picture just it says, just the
tip on there. Oh my god, it's in your show.
Those are a dick.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
I don't have a show named just a tip, Matt. Yeah,
they Trevor, you're right.

Speaker 13 (25:58):
There.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
They're waffle own tips fill with Belgian white chocolate. I
can eat a whole bag of those, bad boys. I don't.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
I have a super sweet tooth either.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, it's very very addictive about everybody's sending in videos
about Butler and Jordan Baby being the father. Yeah, I
don't know. I don't believe us one in doubt. Jimmy
can go on, Maury, Yeah, I mean you can make
a DNA test to be very simple. Well, it takes
two to tango on that, right, unless you're being secretive.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, I guess.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Just throw that out there. Let's go to Cayden on
seven ninety at ten thirty seven. I hate if you
have to pull the calls out. Oh there we go,
Thank thank you. Jonathan, Hi, Jane Hikanen, how are you sir?

Speaker 11 (26:44):
Hey?

Speaker 7 (26:44):
What's going on?

Speaker 11 (26:44):
Man?

Speaker 7 (26:45):
I just wanted a one that I don't believe because
I've been a New England Patriots fan for quite some time.
Is the NFL destroying spygate evidence?

Speaker 1 (26:57):
I would agree with you on that. I believe the
NFL would not do that. They don't need to protect
anybody because the shield is strong, but it's strong for
thirty two different NFL teams. Yeah, I agree with you
on that. There's no there would be. Look look at
how the NFL is thrive with the Patriots sucking for
the last five years. They're doing just fine.

Speaker 7 (27:14):
That's what I'm saying. I mean even though it's a
dynasty team you know, won all these super balls, the
greatest ball Tom Tom Brady. No, no argument about that.
I don't think that there's a reason that they would
need to cover up.

Speaker 8 (27:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I mean they suspended Tom Brady for four games.

Speaker 11 (27:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (27:30):
And if they were covering up or if they were
hiding for somebody, then I don't see why they would
suspend the number one quarterback like of all time. Ye greatest.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yep, that's a good stet. That's good stuff. Thank you
Kaden for the phone call. That absolutely makes sense. Now
you have a list, Rossie of some conspiracy theories out there. Yes,
and you're gonna ask me if I believe them or not.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
I believe it or not? All right, here we go
or not? Go ahead, Michael.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
This is the number one of those listens from Business
Insider Michael Jordan's wereronment was a secret suspension for gambling?
Believe it really? Okay?

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Number two is the eighties these too, don't be frid ant.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Umm, I will say no, I don't think it was
a suspension, Okay.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I believe that there was a gambling debt go away
conspiracy theory that says, take a break. I more apt
to believe his father was murdered over a gambling debt.
I believe all of the above. All mb okay continue
on the NBA rigged the eighty five draft. Believe it,
Cowrikan Junior's record streak of games was saved by an

(28:35):
intentional power outage nineteen ninety seven. Believe it. Oh wow,
look at you. Let's start calling you conspiracy, Matt. This
is not working out well. For the other part of
the segments, The NBA rigged Game six of the two

(28:56):
thousand and two Western Finals to save the Los Angeles Lakers.
And donnah he was official, Donna?

Speaker 2 (29:02):
He was?

Speaker 10 (29:03):
Uh?

Speaker 7 (29:04):
Was he?

Speaker 2 (29:05):
No?

Speaker 11 (29:05):
It was?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It wasn't it Dick Pavetta the Yeah, Donnie did not
work that game, it says, but Dick Avetta was there.
I will go not twenty seven free throws for the
Lakers in the fourth quarter, sixteen of their last eighteen
points at the free throw line to win by four.

(29:27):
But Shaq would have been on the floor at the time, right,
and that was no guarantee he was gonna make free throws.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yeah, I don't know how many of those he shot.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I will go not on that.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
All right, we'll just breeze by this one.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
But if we're in northern California, I guarantee we're getting
a different answer there. The nineteen ninety five New Zealand
national rugby team was poisoned, probably to the World Cup final. Oh,
it's soccer. It's definitely believe it. It was a rugby
matt whatever time difference, don't hurt yourself. Yeah, the NFL
destroyed evidence from Spygate. Well we just talked about not okay.

(29:57):
Number seven Pete Rose had a secret agreement to re
re instate to baseball after a lifetime ban.

Speaker 8 (30:03):
Not.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
I don't believe so either.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Nineteen sixty five Muhammad Ali knocked out Sonny Listening in
a rigged fight with a phantom punch.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Rematch, I think not. Two thousand and five.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Hold on, let's go back and say with boxing, wasn't
there something involving George Foreman in some sort of drink
That was Aaron Pryor and Alexis Argueo and Panama Lewis
was the trainer and he uh, that was real. Panama
Lewis got banned from UH for for a while from boxing.
What they he was like don't get the he literally

(30:37):
you get. There's the audio of Panama Lewis going give
me the water bottle, the one that I mixed up,
And what they did was they put anti histamines in there,
which apparently opens up your It allows you to take
in more oxygen, so it helps you recover in a
long fight. I thot there was something involving George Foreman.
No am I making that up?

Speaker 8 (30:53):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (30:54):
You maybe?

Speaker 1 (30:55):
And then also Panama Lewis took patting out of Louis
Riresto's gloves and he killed the guy. Okay, but those
weren't even theories. That was the real evidence. Okay. I'm
trying to think of anything you're talking about with George
fort How people think that Michael Moore and people think
Michael Moore took a dive when he re riggained the
heavyweight championship at the age of forty five. I thought
there was helped me out boxing historians. I thought there

(31:18):
was something involving your the trip where they were in
an international city and they rumble in the jungle, there
was about, I don't want to say, a fever or
a contamination. We'll check during the break. Is there more
on your list. Yes, uh five, NHL draft rigged so

(31:40):
the Pittsburgh Penguins could take Sidney Crosey Cosby to save
the troubled franchise. I have no opinion, and this is
a good one. The NBA rigged the lottery for the
Calves to get well there, Well, this one is to
get the number one overall pick after Lebron signed away.
Remember they signed away and they got the number one
overall pick and took Kyrie overall pick and took Kyrie Irving.
And that's happened before. Because didn't New Orleans move Chris

(32:01):
Paul away and they got the number one pick after that?
Didn't this happened? There's people on timeline. New Orleans moved
Anthony Davis and they got Desigon Williamson. Okay, and then
I mean Lebron James kid for Macron landed in Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
I'll buy that one. Okay. Coincidence, that's George Form. Thing's
gonna bug me now, I don't. I'm not sure. Maybe
somebody can. We'll figure it out, Okay, all right?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Ten forty three It is the Matt Thomas Show with
Ross seven one three two one two five seven ninety.
So the reason why I'm bringing this up again is
because the fact that, yeah, I'm pissed off that the
Mavericks out the first one. But remember what America. But
this way, if the Rockets would have gotten the pick
at one point nine percent, they were at three point
nine percent, correct, I think that's what the number was
last night. Three point eight, three point eight, three point nine.

(32:49):
How would America have treated today if the Rockets got
number one?

Speaker 3 (32:52):
They had been saying the same thing.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
I don't. I can't think of a reason to rig
anything for the Houston rounds, but Dallas does make the
number one. Thing I've seen on social media was okay,
wink Wink convinced the convince the Mavericks to ship the
number one of the five most dominant players in the
NBA to it's number one or number two market and
inverturn will give you the number one pick. I'm putting
a Twitter poll right now. Do you think the NBA

(33:14):
rigs the lottery? Matt, No, I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
I think we're gonna be in the minority.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
It depends on.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
You.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Consider your people that follow you decent No, Okay, Twitter
seven too, they're smarter than most because they listen to
this show. Yes, but also it's social media and you'll
you'll want up on a for you tab. It's gonna say, hey,
I hope follow me at sports RV. It's not that great.
And Instagram trying to build it up. Let's go.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
Yeah, you're putting too much out there. I'm trying to
put more.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
No, I mean I should, you should back up influencer initiatives, Matt,
let's I don't even bro. I don't want to do it.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
I don't need I don't need bros. Them eyes, I
don't good. Stop doing it then not helping?

Speaker 4 (33:58):
All right?

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Just our friends don't ask for a brief explanation of
how the NBA lottery works, and it's unfortunately not brief.
So I'm gonna go quickly and I'm gonna give you
the cliff Notes version of it. The drawing uses fourteen
pingpong balls. You got me so far ross Yes, numbered
one through fourteen. There are one thousand and one possible

(34:23):
combinations when four balls are drawn out of fourteen without
regard to their order of selection before the lottery. One
thousand of those one thousand and one combinations will be
a sign of the fourteen lottery teams. For the drawing.
All fourteen balls are placed in the lottery machine. They

(34:44):
are mixed for twenty seconds. Then the first ball is drawn.
The remaining balls are mixing the lottery machine for another
ten seconds. Then the second ball is drawn. There's another
ten second mix, and then the third ball. There's not
fourteen balls in there, there's just fourteen balls in there.
That means everybody has an equal chance. That can't be right, right, No,
you have fourteen different you have the combinations. Oh, one

(35:07):
of the balls has the combination. Let me read it again,
Read again. I'm sorry, folk dog. All right, here we go.
There are fourteen pingpong balls, numbered one through fourteen. Okay,
there are one thousand and one possible combinations. When four
balls are drawn out of fourteen, okay. All fourteen balls

(35:31):
are placed in the lotter room machine. They are mixed
for twenty seconds. Then the first ball is drawn, then
would leave thirteen balls left. They get mixed for ten seconds.
The second ball is drawn. That would then leave twelve

(35:52):
a ten second mix, and then the third ball is drawn, okay,
leaving eleven final ten second mix. Then the fourth is drawn.
That is now leaving ten. The team that has been
assigned the combination of the four balls drawn for the machine. Oh,
it's like they won the lottery. So the Mavericks are
holding a ticket and it says twelve nine seven six correct.

(36:13):
So when twelve nine seven six comes out, they won
the lottery. Yes, okay, thats why the hell did they
do it that way? The ping pong balls are then
placed back in the machine and the same process is
repeated for the second to the fourth picks.

Speaker 8 (36:28):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
Okay, So it's basically a lottery. Yeah, it's like a
lot it's like a it's like a mega, it's like
a powerball. Yeah. But each team has it's like they're
doing the fifty to fifty drawing and every team has
their own numbers. Yes, okay, whatever, But people, but there
are witnesses, and this is verified by people I know
of at least and I'm not trying to brag. I

(36:49):
know of at least four people that have been in
that room before Kim olaj one one, Jonathan Fagan two,
uh roughhel Stone. I don't know, No, I don't know
if a Fell's ever been there.

Speaker 11 (36:59):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Legal council for the for the Rockets, okay. And I
believe the pr director for the Rockets, as wasn't. They've
all been in there before. Okay, can't guarantee I can
guarantee you three of the four. Maybe I can. I'm
pretty much sure the fourth one. So I don't think
you can rig it. No, but yeah, it's a conspiracy
theory that people believe. I believe that I do not to.

(37:23):
So there you have it.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
Thank you, Matt.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Let's go to speaking of Matt, Let's go to Madden
Spring Branch at ten fifty four on seven I need Matt,
good morning.

Speaker 11 (37:31):
Hey, good morning, Matt and Russ.

Speaker 14 (37:33):
On the note of sports conspiracy theories, I wanted to
call in on one I'd heard years ago and I
just refused to believe it. It was pretty absurd. But
it's kind of akin to the Michael Jordan gambling semi retirement,
So I want to bring it up. In two thousand
and six, when Roger Clemens came back mid season with
the Astros, I had heard a rumor or whispers rather

(37:57):
that the reason he came back mid season and had
little mini retirement was because he was facing a ped suspension,
so he kind of disappeared for a while. It took
a break, so it's left the suspension blowover and then
came back.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
When it would have been finished.

Speaker 14 (38:11):
So I don't necessarily believe it, but I want to
get your thoughts on it.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Do I believe Major League Baseball would have protected its
marquee picture during that time to avoid the steroid?

Speaker 3 (38:24):
I would say, yes, I would.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
I could possibly believe that, so so Maddie, I would
not put that in the category I would put under
the I believe leagues can protect its megastars, and I
too firmly believe that Michael Jordan was protected by the NBA.
I'll give you another one that I don't believe, Sani
and the gambling.

Speaker 14 (38:45):
What about would Roger clemons on the two thousand and
six Astros be considered a megastar at that point though.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Hall of Fame picture, absolutely all right? Matter of fact,
did he not want to sign on with the Astros?

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Right?

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (38:56):
So?

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yeah, he was still at the top of his game. Yeah,
I mean they wasn't like he was in nineteen ninety
three Boston Red Sox or eighty six for that matter,
when he was younger. But yeah, I think Roger carried
tremendous cachet at the time. Yeah, for sure. Thanks Matt.
That's not a bad one there at all. Said he
used did and he did use him, so it kind
of worked out. Okay, so show, hey gambling, you're saying

(39:16):
conspiracy theory that you do not believe, or conspiracy I
do not believe.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Remember, I was more of the believer category than.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
The two of us.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
I'm gonna you said it's a cover up story. I
believe there's a small hint in truth on this. I
think it's possible he he knew what the money, he
knew he gave him the money. I don't think he
was gambling. The FBI got involved in all this. The
FBI didn't give a crap about show. Do you think
that you think that that Shohy just gave this guy
money not knowing where it was head they had literal No.

(39:48):
I think he knew it was for gambling debts. And
then he was like, yeah, well now I gotta now
you got to mix up with this guy.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
You gotta do time.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Brother, Sorry you think that, said brother? Yeah, okay in
perfect Japanese? What is Japanese? Your brother? I don't know?

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Okay, Well I can find it.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
That's fine. Yeah. I when it first came out. I
was cover up, cover up guy. But I obviously had
to sell a pedal because you know what, at the
end of the day, I got a trust The FBI
wasn't like it was. It wasn't like it was Ron
manfor roll their eyes here and you say that Ko
die Qo die for bro He's like, come on, kioe die,
let's go. So you're saying. He mixed in Japanese and

(40:24):
English in the same set. Yes, come on, Kira Die,
he's learning. Yeah. Wasn't there a song called calm on
Kira Die? That's come on Eileen. Oh sorry, it's close.
That's today's obligatory dad joke for the show. There will
be more, although we'll be stay tuned. Will get uncomfortable
at some point in the radio program. Oh wow, this Twitter,

(40:45):
This Twitter pol I did at Sports RV is more
slanted than I thought. Go ahead when we come back. Oh,
I voted you. You can vote at Sports RV. I
can't wait to vot because I didn't even what the
results are. Don't tell you what they are. Seven one
three two one two five seven, Dowty seven one three
two one two five seven nine ers caftros Fall last
night seven to five to the Kansas City Royals. We

(41:06):
will talk more about that with Joe Spot coming up
today twelve thirty. Brian King, astro reliever extraordinaire with us
at one thirty today. We have gut feelings coming up
in one half hour, and we have the fact that
the Dallas Mavericks listen to the warmth of my voice
when I say this. Congratulations the Dallas Mavericks for winning

(41:29):
the NBA Draft Lottery. Congratulations the San Antonio Spurs getting
the number two pick in the draft lottery. Both teams
in the Southwest Division, both teams the Rockets face four
times per year in the regular season. I mean it
relations do you both. It's ridiculous that it's two teams
in state and in division, but also even the bigger
picture of Western Conference, the Western Conference is a ridiculous.

(41:53):
If Jason, if Jason Tatum's achilles is actually torn, it
could be. First of all, it's career threatening and at
the very least it's threatening next year. And the Eastern
Conference is already inferior to the Western Conference, and now
it's gonna get even stronger with Cooper Flagg joining. Kyrie
Irving has a torny acl I think if he opts

(42:14):
in he'll be back by January, or if they do
another deal with him or whatever. If he stays on
the roster, you're gonna have Anthony Davis, Cooper Flagg, Kyrie
Irving on one team. And that's already into a ridiculous
Western Conference to where the seventh seed has Jimmy Butler,
Steph Curry and Draymond Green.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
And those guys.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Oh, by the way, the Memphis Grizzlies have John Moran
still and Jackson Jr. Yeah, and they're gonna get a
new coach. Should be better.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
And the Phoenix they already renamed the new coach. Okay,
who I forget?

Speaker 15 (42:42):
Remember?

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, I can't. Yeah, they got a new coach and
they're gonna be better. By the way, the morning TV
shows now, not that I think the audience has a
firm grip of Kendrick Perkins, except just that really thick accent. Hey, hey,
bow Month's finest. Does he talk out of his ass
or do you believe him? Joh, he talks out of
his ass generally he was talking with I don't want

(43:06):
to say complete Uh what do you saying?

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Recklessness?

Speaker 2 (43:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (43:11):
No, no, absolute. I'm talking in absolutes, Okay. Yeah, he
was not talking absolutes, but he was certainly leaning that direction, okay.
And he believes that Giannis win the dust settles. And
when he says I want to move, he wants to
go to an Eastern Conference team, he should.

Speaker 3 (43:27):
That would probably include your New York's, both of them
Toronto you mentioned as part of the mix.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
I mean this has been for twenty plus years when
it was like the Spurs and the Lakers and all
the Sacramento Kings and all those teams in the Western Conference, right,
and then they would go play. He would go to
the finals and play the New Jersey Net, the New
York Net New Jersey Nets, and play the pacer to
the crappy Pacers yep, and beat up on those seventy
six ers led by Alan Iverson and Eric Snow. I

(43:59):
mean it's a good pull there. I mean, the Kimbay
was good, but Shack was eating so much. And again,
I think everybody can have their opinions change. NBA players
change their opinions every single day, but it felt like
Kendrick Perkins. Now again, I think very few smart NBA
people really trust what Kendrick Perkins has to say. But yeah,

(44:20):
I don't know how much intel he's got. Well, I'm
not saying it's not none. He's a former player. It
very easily could have been a I got a friend
of a friend of a friend who absolutely said this.
But it doesn't. It doesn't sound absurd for him to
say I'll stay in the East have a quicker path,
because I do believe you're honest. And I don't think
Giannics is hitting the fact that he wants to win
another championship. I think the money is important, but I

(44:41):
still think he is thirsting for one more championship because
when you become an all timer, winning one is very nice.
Winning two puts you in a different category. It just does,
or three for that matter. So I'm not completely stunned
by the notion that maybe he does want to play
for Eastern Conference team. Now, does Toronto seem like a

(45:02):
little far fetched? Yeah, h Brooklyn does not. New York doesn't.
For the obviously of the thought of, you know, being
in a big market after being in a small market
team for all these years. I don't know if that
helps his marketing or just being among a better basketball
audience I mean, Milwaukee's a great place, but they need
to make they need to move from him because they've

(45:22):
got to start from scratch with that franchise, especially because
Damian Lillard's gonna probably miss all of next season. Mention
the Astros losing seven to five. We'll get tomorrow on
that as a program progresses. Also, the NFL announcing more
international games. Do you remember a long time ago. I
don't know if it was a gut feeling or to
tell the truth. I think it was to tell the truth.

(45:44):
I think I had Roger Goodell at some point having
every NFL team play one international game per year. Have
you seen how many international games are this year?

Speaker 2 (45:53):
No?

Speaker 4 (45:53):
I have not.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
How many are there?

Speaker 1 (45:55):
I'm glad you asked, and I'm glad I wasn't ill
prepared for it. NFL International I'm gonna let you look
that up. Yes you're gonna mention you ask me? Uh,
you know what every time you do this? Now, I'm
just gonna say, follow on Instagram A right sports RV.
There are seven weeks of international player. I cannot I

(46:15):
don't want to get up at eight thirty for seven
weeks of the year. All right, Sundays, my time to
sleep in Roder Goodell. So let's shut up. Let's go
through this Week one in Kansas City against the Chargers.
That's in sound Pottlebergs. So that's me in that game
like it was last year. Okay.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Week four is Minnesota versus Pittsburgh and Dublin.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Are you gonna go?

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Okay, listen in.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Dublin, Ireland? Are you the lads? And last I'm a.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Regular football fan.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Okay, we're gonna play on a field of shamrocks. I'm
not a twenty four to seven football guy. I like football.
I enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
I love the pagetrey of college. I love the prom man.
But I'm not getting it at eight thirty more to
watch Minnesota Pittsburgh not happening. That could be a good game.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
What do you mean I didn't stud it. I'm not
into well. The week after then the next week Minnesota
plays Cleveland, not getting up for that? What do you
mean Schador Sanders is slinging the rock? No, he's not.
Could be the following week Denver versus the Jets, not

(47:18):
getting up for that. Both those games are a Totten
Humpspur Stadium. Oh it's a Tottenham Hotspur. The final week
after that Rams against the Jaguars. No interest. Sorry. Then
in week ten the Falcons against the Colts in Berlin. Okay,
but the game out a four o'clock in the morning.

(47:38):
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
I'm not watching it now, but it's on.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
It's on. But I'm saying these none of these are
appointments s games for me. Rossi. And then then the
final one is week eleven, Washington versus Miami. Okay, that
might be a little more intriguing. Daniels versus two Attack
of a love as long as not can cuss. Yeah,
but I mean the NFL is smart. Just put any
two raindows out there. I'm gonna go I'm gonna go down,

(48:01):
get on the couch, put the game on, and then
put a pillow behind my head and get under a blankey.
Do you know, do you notice one thing very important
in this list? What there are no cowboy games on there,
because they're not putting Cowboys a eighty thirty in the morning.
That's because they're putting them on print and three twenty
five that shit. Further, I prove my point is that
they're just putting randos on there, which might think Jesus,

(48:22):
the Texas can't even be a Rando.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
That's okay.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
I don't want them to have an international game. I'm
not trying to get up for all that. I don't.
It gets ridiculous, man, I'm upset with the NFL for
you said seven weeks out of the year. Yeah. Seven,
gonna be seventeen pretty soon. I already have to get
up for Premier League games, which I don't want to do.
Now I gotta do this.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
It's ridiculous, but you're getting ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
I hate to tell you this. I think you're the minority.
I'm the late sleeping in on Saturdays during football.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
I know, Forday, I.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Don't know what minority. Lot of functioning alcoholics out there
with me. No, no, no, they're going to bed at
two o'clock in the morning on Sunday morning, just like
you are. But they're getting up to either get to
church because mom's begging them to go to church for
their sense, or be either going to brunch or c
they're getting or they're getting up early to go. Tell
me sure this the true functioning alcoholics are getting up

(49:11):
to hit a mimosa in a bloody mary Well. I
mean if you get home at two o'clock. I'm sorry.
I'm a night out person. I like to sleep late.
I like to to not have to get up early
in the morning. I just yeah, ain't thirty in the
morning is early to me. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
The NFL is on the line and says, is this Ross? Yeah,
shut yo bummass up, said Roger Goodell. NFL, You greedy bastards.
Shut yo bum ass up. Nobody cares about you in Germany.
What about America? Ross? Why can't we have principles where
we're about Americans and America? First?

Speaker 3 (49:43):
These are randos. Ain't nothing. Ain't nothing about him?

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Cool about it? There's nothing about him? Yeah, but I
got fantasy teams, I got gambling.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
I like to do.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
What that news for you?

Speaker 3 (49:52):
There's a there's a DVR at your house?

Speaker 1 (49:54):
Yeah, I know. I got a DVR everything. And then
I'm getting my DFS lineups ready to go. Let me's o'clock.
I'm looking at inactives coming in at ten thirty. I
got too much stuff to be doing. You're gonna really
be like, Oh, I gotta get up for Minnesota and Pittsburgh.
I like football. I like sports. My career is sports.

(50:15):
So yes, I watched those football I don't care about
that episod I care about it. I don't care about
it so I can know what I'm talking about. Nobody
can't want to Pittsburgh. How these half assed, ignorant opinions.
That's fine. I'm watching the games. I'm watching the games
in my time slot with teams that I care about,

(50:36):
and those games I don't care about. I'm gonna be
just fine. Guess what's gonna happen. You don't want Sunday
morning when I get up, I go get donuts for
the family, or I'll cook us some bacon and eggs
and nine o'clock will but I'm like, oh, there's a
game on. That's cool. I'll put on to be the background.
Those games are background games, okayin't nothing with They are
nothing with teasing those bad boys. And the one time

(50:59):
they say in Kansas City to play on a national game,
they're doing it at night in Brazil then going hang
out the clubs after they sent Rent. They said, Jacksonville,
I'm gonna half watch you two. I said, it's backer.

spottom of the ar. We'll talk to Christian open things up.
The next segment of the Matt Thomas Show with Ross
after this blave at seventeen on Sports Talk seven nine

(51:51):
eight is a Matt Thomas Show with Ross. We are
with you today until two pm. Astros drop a seven
to five game to the Royals. The NFL's schedulers have
said that the Texans are not international worthy. How many
new we're not gonna get it? Well, we're gonna probably
the very most, at the very most, probably twelve noon games.

(52:11):
There'll be probably at least one or two three o'
clockers that are on the West coast. Yes, you'll probably
might have been three three oh five. Not you don't
know that Arizona, Arizona Houston. Oh, that's a that's a
three h five guarantee. It's true.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Uh, you're gonna get a couple of standalones.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
I oh, we're gonna make some scheduling, gut feelings.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
We have talked about it. I think you said three
national games. I went over, But I mean you could
be Riot because they have some big opponents. We talked
about it. I think last week Baltimore, San Francisco, Buffalo,
Kansas City. They got a first play schedule, so there'll
be some there are some potential games that could be
marquee games. All right, eleven eighteen on Sports Talk seven

(52:58):
and let's talk to Christian on seven NATI on a
mobile line.

Speaker 3 (53:02):
Christian, good morning, thanks for holding.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Hey, good morning, Matt.

Speaker 13 (53:06):
I just want to let you know that I was
able to shake off that famous Matt Thomas voodoo and
I made it to the National Championship.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
All right, because I don't know if you realize, but
you wish me that I crashed, Yes I do, I
remember that.

Speaker 7 (53:21):
We all heard that.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
But anyway, I was able.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
It'll make it.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
But you know, I had a whole agenda today.

Speaker 13 (53:29):
But now I'm thrown off because you were talking about
the Notre Dame game. So it only sounds like you're
anti Catholic, anti American, which we all know, you know,
amongst many things, anti yu of huh you find. But
the real reason I was calling is I want to

(53:50):
talk about you, Zanne. I love you Zan good guy, sure,
sure thing right? But him coming back?

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Uh?

Speaker 13 (54:01):
Should we not develop our rookie point guards or I
know that Samson hates putting rookies in the game. I
understand that, but I'm look, Duke does it, and so
many other Blue Ship teams do it. They play these
five star talent and why he's so hard hit? I

(54:24):
love you some, Samson, but I want to take your
take on this. Thank for your taking my call.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
So he was ugly to me, and then he wanted
to give me a and he wanted me to answer
a question about it. I think he's got a crush
on you. He demanded that out of you like a dog.
He did what he demanded that out of you like
a dog. Yeah, tell him, Matt, tell bark for him, Dougie.
What Kelvin Sampton doesn't play well? You got He's got
blue chip recruits coming in. Yeah, he doesn't prefers to

(54:53):
playing freshman honestly, No, I mean I he just treats
freshmen differently because he wants him to know their role,
like you can't run a team right. Yeah, No, it's
not that bad. I don't know much about their names
or who they are, what they do. I look, we
got a lot of the things going on. As much
as I love you age basketball, I like to see
them actually on the courtorfore US are giving a rundown.

(55:15):
But they do have an amazing recruiting class. I mean,
I want to say top five nationally. I would think
at this point, if you're a top five and you're
losing minos Uzan to the draft by the way, he's
protected to be a early the mid second round selection, Okay,
and you've already lost you're gonna lose Crier, and you're
you've already lost Shed the year before that, that there's

(55:36):
gonna be some opportunities for some younger players to play
right away. I Mean, the number one thing that Calvin
Sampson has said is that you have to be somewhat
flexible because of the of the game. And again, if
you're bringing in these All Americans, and let's face it,
uh you when you you don't you don't give yourself
an All American tag someone named you McDonald's All American

(55:58):
or someone says you are a top five player. The
thought of those players staying more than say, two years,
is a pipe drink. I mean, today we are seeing
more one and dons in the NBA than we are
going to the NBA and we ever had before. So
my guess is that these kids are as advertised that
the new group, the new guys coming in will be
guys that will be able to have a chance to
play right away, but they're not gonna be handled the
basketball and say, well, just because you're of your preseason status,

(56:21):
you're a guy. If you don't practice hard and you
don't buy into the culture that Kelvin Samson has, you'll
sit the bench.

Speaker 14 (56:26):
Mhm.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
I mean those are the type of players that Kelvin
goes for. I mean, Mercy Miller will have an opportunity
to play a lot more this year than he played
last year. Mm hmm, but he was in the same situation.
Chris Snak Junior, is that correct? Six foot ten big man,
five star Isaiah Harwell This is just from via two
twenty four to seven sports. Yeah, four star Kingston Flemings,
four star, Bright Jackson, three star, two guards and a

(56:50):
big man. But like with the shooting guard Isaiah Harwell
sixty six, So I mean number one recruiting class in
the country. Either, our nil is a lot better than
I thought it was. Youve been opened up that check book,
Matt looks. Maybe maybe maybe I did. You don't know

(57:12):
those things. I think it's it's probably a combination of
maybe an influx of nil money. But where those kids from?
By the way, can you New Orleans? I'm sorry New Orleans?
No Orleans? Baby, Wait, no, do I have it different?
This is Branson, Missouri. I thought I read New Orleans.
There is one kid from the middle of the country.
Any that Mount Pleasant, Utah, San Antonio, Texas and Parland, Texas. Okay,

(57:34):
so we're keeping kids close. We're twenty years. You couldn't
do that because if you take if you took him
over to haw Fins befeen like this is a dump.
A couple of transfers came into one from Creighton and
one from sam Houston. The Creighton kid is right away
pop Isaac's matter of fact, I think he is supposed
to be probably the favorite to inherit the point guard spot, right,
I think so?

Speaker 11 (57:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
I think he's got one year left. It's gonna be
a squad.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
You come out with me some games. Uh, you get
my ticket? Of course? Oh yeah, I'll go. So you
wouldn't actually pay for a ticket you want to go?
So calling you America's guest at college sports, I mean,
I mean, I respect Cougar basketball, but I don't I'm
not gonna go pay for shiit. I'm gonna get some
good seats for the game against Lehigh. Oh I'd like

(58:21):
at least can I get a conference game?

Speaker 10 (58:23):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (58:23):
Yeah, I'll throw a West Virginia at you.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Okay, yeah, I'll do that. That's I'm asking for a
low level conference matchup. I get you a little Central
Florida game.

Speaker 11 (58:30):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
I'm in suck at Golden Knights. You're not getting no Kansas. No,
I'm not asking for that. I wouldn't presume. No, I'm not.
I'm not a Cougars fan, but I would. I would
go to a game. Last time I was in there
was when this Texas and you've hed the CBI, and
I want.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
To bet from you on that. I felt good about that.

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Kevin Eschenfelder was sitting next to me talking trash the
whole time, was he yeah?

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Yeah, we went together. Remember I don't remember that we ran,
We ran.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
He was next to me. He didn't want to hang
out with you for social No, he was, Yeah, he
was trash. Okay, it was fun, all right. Well, now
the show's gone a grinding halt on U of h
off season stuff. Thank you, Christian, Not really, thank you, Christian.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Did you want friend him on Facebook? Are you guys
still brosky?

Speaker 2 (59:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (59:15):
I blocked him, okay, because he was attacking me on
Let me tall. You're an ultimate douchebag. If you attack
someone personally on their Facebook page, unless you get into
a political rand, then it's your fault. Yeah, it was
an unprovoked attack. It's not like you attacked him and
he was defending himself. I don't even know we were friends,
but I've learned my lesson on that. I wish you
would have gotten a car accident.

Speaker 6 (59:39):
Man, this is I'm sorry, Friday. You write this down.
You can't go back.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Oh please? You mean to tell me that you you
don't wish anybody to get in a vehicular accident.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
That's I really don't know both. I can't think of
a single person.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
No, mm hmmm. I didn't tell you wanted to die.
I was just hoping for a lot of damage and
hopefully and carry insurance. I'm wishing you, uh peace in
love Christian And also I agree Matt's a fake uh fan.

Speaker 3 (01:00:08):
I got damn cod over YOUU of H.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Suck it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Oh yeah, by the way, that would be the last
time I ever do that.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
Oh, spend all the money they get a championship, spend
all that money to get bounce around the country and
hang out in that filthy ass animal dome for six
with sixty five thousand people. What if it's a nicer
stadium that I'll change with Lucas Oil or something next year. Yeah,
by the way, we got feeling cougars could be there.
By the way, shifted a little move by U of H.

(01:00:37):
Guess who hosts the South Regional next year?

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
Is it Houston?

Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
It's Houston at the Turner Center. The host of said
event is the University of Houston. Guess what you can't do.
You can't be in your own region to hote we
ain't be the host. Okay, So I think there is
word on the streets that the kids are telling me,
is that do you Bach is trying to distance themselves

(01:01:01):
from hosting set event because you cannot host a regional
in your own city. They're trying to get h HC
to host it. What are they gonna do. You can
be this, you can be the South region and go
to and if you're the if you're qualify. They're trying
to gain the system. No, they're trying to cheat. They're
trying to cheat and get a home court adventure. Silar

(01:01:22):
a bunch of drifters and cheaters. No, that's only an as.
They're trying to skirt the system to get a home
court advantage because they can't get one elsewhere. Basically like
hosting a super regional because your stadium is bigger and
you pay off the incideble. They sound like that at all.
The Toyota Centers is the venue.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
No matter what.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
I'm saying, Good for us, good for us thinking ahead
of okay, good for trying to cheat and skirt the system,
change anything. If we're the number one South see the
number one South.

Speaker 3 (01:01:49):
Seed, it happens.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
Well, enjoy Dating or Toledo or wherever they're gonna I
don't know where they're having these. No, Phoenix, we will
be the number one seed this region. The inside a Center.
Y'all can suck it. You're of the regionals. We also
they're gonna have host it. Well, Rice could do it, HC,
you could do it, t Issue. Well, I see you

(01:02:14):
in San Jose. Well you know what, the Big twelve
conference could host it. Houston, San Jose, Chicago, Washington, d C. Yeah,
DC is lovely in March. Houston is lovely, is late
and Washington Monument. Stop. I'm not doing I'm not running
around this countrynymore. We go to Smithsonian now. Maybe if
the Rockets have a four day off stretch during that time,

(01:02:34):
I'll be okay with that, But I'm not not not
bouncing on the country anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
Enjoy the Lincoln Memorial, man, stop, it's lovely.

Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
All right. Let's get some gut feelings in you, ready,
So let's cut filling the NFL schedules part of our stuff.
Any astrog gut feelings you want to get to if
you have any gut feelings out there, I have gut feelings.

Speaker 3 (01:02:50):
I don't want to say you're gonna have to It's
it's the one half hour per week we have to
say them.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
I might have to die on mccullor's Hill because I
made gut feelings that started to see and let's just
say it's getting real lonely on mccallen's hill, folks. Okay, yesterday,
Jake Myers Hill is looking a little fun, a little better.
It's more of a doubles, right or was it?

Speaker 2 (01:03:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
It was a double and it was singing. Okay, hey, hey,
I need to talk to the score on this. No, no, no,
if you see if he missed the love you all right,
if you have any sports predictions seven one three two
one two five seven x because of the scalding exit velo,
you should have got a double. No one's ever said
Jake Myers and Scalding in the same conversation. Yea, his

(01:03:34):
home run was like one oh six off the bat,
one of his two home runs. He's it seven one
three two one two five seven And we need some
sports predictions. We'll get in from you next on Sports
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 16 (01:03:46):
Listen up the boy pet that Tommy, you only got
a good peeling.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
This is their gut feeling on the Matt Thomas Show,
time for you to make your sports predictions. We asked
you to do that right now. It's seven one three
two one two five seven Nati seven one three two
one two five seven Ninti Ross.

Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
How would you last week? Oh man, looks like we
were piling in the gut feelings.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Let's see. Look at you met last week. You said
Justin Tucker will not be on ANFL team week one.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
We'll see what happens there.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
By the way, did you say there's a video of
him just in a Randall High School field just kicking footballs.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
Okay, that's when you said high school?

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
You know what I said the first four myself, Oh
my god, let me finish the stateman, Ross, I was like,
he is not gonna be on a team week one.
If you finish that sentence away, I think you are yep,
go ahead, because my gut feeling was that he will
be on a roster by week one.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
We shall see.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
You also said no quote wow move made by the
Rockets this offseason. Still staying with that, I think you're
gonna be right. I think they will kick the tires.
By the way, you will hear rumors about everybody that
we've heard rumors about so far.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
They will. They will absolutely due diligence, do their due diligence.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
They absolutely will put together some plans do I think
put trades out there and either agents, under players or
media will find out about it and say that they're
not interested, the players uninterested, or the deal wasn't sweet enough,
but the deal was too sweet. Just a random name.
We were talking about Derek White and how the Boston
will be in cap have cap issues like trading for
Derek White.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
I would say that's not a wow move right, solid
but not wow?

Speaker 10 (01:05:35):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (01:05:35):
To me?

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
Is Booker Jannis Durant? Does Jalen Brown become a wow?
Do the Celtics really break things up? We'll see what
happens with Jason Tatum too. I agree with you there.
You said Dana Brown makes a twenty six man roster
trade by July first, Yes, pre trade deadline? Absolutely, I

(01:05:57):
mean like significantly before the deadline. Okay, so pre July first, yep,
we'll see the time the clock is ticking on that.
I didn't write anything down for Jonathan. Did you have anything?
Did you tell us you didn't have anything? Maybe last week? Yeah,
Jonathan was too busy. No, I mean it's possible. I met.
I think college, Yeah, I think maybe. Okay, if you
remember something, let me know. But I didn't write anything

(01:06:19):
down that could be my bad. I'm not sure. Okay,
so I mentioned the Justin Tucker thing for me. I
also said, rockets add complimentary slash rotation piece, but do
not rock the boat with Superstar. I think we're basically
on the same thing, right. I said, FVV restructures long
term deal. Looks like that's going to be true. And
I said, Jeremy Pania breakout is real. It will still
sustain relative breakout, not to where he's going to be.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
And that for you right now as we speak at
eleven thirty six on a Tuesday, is a win.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
That is a feeling here. Let's go, all right? And
then I said the Astros win the Brewers series and
they didn't. All right. I will go first. I will
tell you that your Eastern Conference final on the this
is no great shakes, but teams have come back from
three to one. I will say it's gonna be New
York versus Indiana m and that is going to completely

(01:07:09):
shock the NBA world because I think most people before
the start of the playoffs, even in the middle of
the season, thought it was gonna be Cleveland versus but
that was the mega chalk yep. But first of all,
the Knicks and Pacers are really good. And what's the
de least on Donovan Mitchell? I know he turned his
ankle and left the last game they played is David Mitchell?

(01:07:31):
And this is not a good feeling question. Is Doavid
Mitchell just an awesome regular season player because he had
the moxy? Does he have the carry? Because the Utah
team has never did anything? He's had big playoff games
though he's dropped for in this series, he's dropped forty
three and forty eight. Okay, so you're so you're not
ready to say Jalen Green, stop, you have to You're rude.

(01:07:58):
Continue on scre twelve or fewer points in six out
of seven games. I saw, I saw, I saw them.
I want them to be good too, I do. Please
trust me. You went to the big board of Channel
two to talk about him. It's touch touch of the weather.
You fIF you were a Camberrall Marshall for am it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:15):
That was fun?

Speaker 1 (01:08:16):
All right? Anyways, Okay, you are saying Nick Versus Pacers
Eastern Finals. So yeah, I mean you picked the two
teams up three to one and have injured players on
the other side. Good job, You're a way out in
that limb.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
Matt, proud of you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Yeah, all right. Next for me, Texans get one Sunday
night game. That's it, Okay. I put it to a
number one, not two, not three, a three on my
stand alon. I'm talking about one Sunday Night. Mike Tarico,

(01:08:47):
Chris Collinsworth and whoever the blonde is it does a reporting.

Speaker 3 (01:08:52):
What is her name?

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
Whatever? Doesn't I mean remember one annoying Mike Mike Florio pregame.
Uh uh, it was on the sidelines for the Sunday
night game. It's the blonde something with a jay No,
Melissa stars most of the stark. Yes, why couldn't I
remember her name? Furst? Yes, okay, three and a half
standalone games over under under three Now, the problem is

(01:09:15):
there's so many standalones now. But you know what, the
muscle stand alones have already been announced. I'll say under,
I'm going under. I'm going under three and a half standalones.

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
I'm gonna be optimistic over.

Speaker 1 (01:09:25):
But you could be right okay for sure. Okay, I'm
gonna put you on the spot too. Jonathan Over under
three and a half stand alone games for the Houston Texans.
M Over, Okay, I could see it being sneaky, a
sneaky Monday night game selection. Yeah, you're gonna get a
Thursday guaranteed. Thursday is guaranteed. You're gonna get a Monday
is Sunday, so you need one. Christmas, I'm playing on Christmas.

(01:09:48):
Think they're not putting the Texas Christmas. They're doing Ramadan
and Kwan's of special games now too. I think standalones.
The Texans were so bad on Christmas, and I'm putting
them on a Flag Day. That's how bad it was
they're doing. I think Veterans Day they're doing it. I
read every holiday they can come up with, Turkey Day.
I think they every bring on a National smoked ribs Day.
There eight straight days of games for Honikah. I believe

(01:10:09):
they're doing as well. Yeah, coughing up something over there, Okay,
what else you got anything else from you?

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
You do you goutt something.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
I'm just saying I'm gonna stick with it. We are
wavering big time. We're staying on Lance Mcolor's Junior Island.
I'm just saying, that's all I'm saying. With my gut feeling.
I'm standing firm. My My original gut feeling was he
would be a plus contributor to the season. It's not

(01:10:40):
looking good right now, I am, but I'm not laving
I Lance Colors Junior Island. Baby.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
I like Lance mccullors Junior the person.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
I think his wife and him have done a really
good job of being charitable, being but being good citizens.

Speaker 3 (01:10:53):
Yes, they love bury me in the h all that stuff,
all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
I'm going to You know why you're holding though, you
know why you're holding. Let's sing, Matt, just say it's
gut feelings. You always tell me, have an opinion to
face it. Matt's eyes are closed. Here we go, bro Froze.

(01:11:19):
He hasn't moved for forty minutes. He's out of the
rotation by June fifty. My little Lancy and I like
you Lance A lot of sweet Prince number four twenty
four straight curveballs, Tommy John flexor tendon strains outbow discomfort.

Speaker 3 (01:11:47):
You're not crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:11:48):
I could be sooner. Well, that's why I really I
wanted to say June first, but.

Speaker 3 (01:11:55):
I have no comment.

Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
Out of rotation by June first, thing fifteen. I'm going
June fifteenth just to say police Lands, turn the corner, please, please,
please turn the corner. I know that's all right. This
is the gut feelings aren't supposed to be so painful.
This this hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Anying from you, Jonathan for goa Fronds.

Speaker 6 (01:12:19):
I believe after Jason Tatum's Achilles torn hill like Achilles
got torn. Yeah, I believe they're gonna after this year,
they're going to We're gonna see some big changes in
big moves for them to get ready. I don't think
they're gonna stay in trying to be in championship.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
Okay, So Celtics break up. So you're calling for a
Celtic breakup? Yes, yeah, okay. By the way, Jonathan Allen
weeks ago said you had the Pacers in the finals, correct,
and conference finals. It's looking pretty good. You do you
have in the NBA finals?

Speaker 4 (01:12:48):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
Are you sure he did?

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:12:50):
Let me find it. I got definitely one hundred percent
of the conference files for sure. Hold on, it's went
away from that at this point. Well, I have four
years of gut feelings and pacers. There's only two, so
it's easy to find. We don't run through deep paser
conversational the schoucers and make the conference finals of the
what it wrote down, But I think he did say
NBA finals as well. That was on that was April
twenty second. He said that, yeah, let's go get them whatever,

(01:13:14):
get them John, No, no, no, you you would break
your arm, Patt and yourself on the back and let
jo for a second, all right, go Nicks seven one
three two one two five seven seven one three two
one two five Brian Scott Jail. We'll get to your
gut feelings. This is their gut feeling on the Matt

(01:13:35):
Thomas Show eleven on Sports Talk seven niney. Let's go
to the gut feelings and we start with my phone
says not working properly. Let's try Brian, and I think
the internet doesn't work. Brian, can you put them up
on the screen for me please? Brian in Parlane on

(01:13:55):
seventy Brian, good morning, thanks for holding Matt ros hey
real quick.

Speaker 16 (01:14:01):
I got a question for you guys, and y'all can
kick it around on Friday or so. I was gonna
call it in for anything goes Friday. But it just
came to my head and I was like, I know,
I'll forget it with work and everything else.

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
Sure, I'd be curious.

Speaker 16 (01:14:11):
I'd be curious to know what are the top two
or three sporting events that you guys have personally been
at where it's like, I will remember this game or
whether it was against you or against a team you
were rooting for, like you were at Matt Kaine's perfect
game when he against the Astro something like that you

(01:14:31):
were you were like, damn, I will always remember that
game and that I was there and what happened at
all that I'd be curious to know. Just I know
I've got a couple in that so though, and I
can always call back in on Friday.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
But it came top of mine. I was like, I'd
be curious just to know what's some of those are.

Speaker 16 (01:14:48):
Yeah, gut feelings wise, I think the the Texans will
have four primetime games that will include Thursday nights. I
think they may get two Thursday nights, a Sunday night,
and I think maybe later on in the season they
might get flexed possibly to another Sunday night or something
like that. So I'm gonna go with four primetime games.
I think Lance mccullors will remain in the starting rotation

(01:15:12):
the rest of the year. I know he struggled Saturday,
but I don't think they're right. They're gonna fight, let
him fight back this long just to kick him to
the curb and throw him in.

Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
The bullpen or long relief and whatever.

Speaker 16 (01:15:25):
I think they're committed to him, and they'll find a
way to get him in, especially after you know, once
you got on to Ryan.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
Gusto and depending on what you get.

Speaker 16 (01:15:33):
And I'm gonna go out on a bold statement and
say it before the trade deadline. The Houston Astros realize
they're not gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
Resign him after the year.

Speaker 16 (01:15:41):
They will deal Farmer Valdez by the July thirty first
trade deadline to something back, whether it's a bat or whatever.
I think they especially if Maraghetti comes back healthy, they'll
go with Hunter Brown. They may even get especially if
they think they might get hobby Are back.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
Even if you get something out of it, but they
will get rid of.

Speaker 14 (01:16:07):
All.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
We'll take it there. Thank you, Brian for the phone.
That's not a crazy prediction.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
It's not because we've already seen the Dana with the
Day with the Kyle Tucker want to get something back
in return.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
That'd be a good feeling hit for you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:20):
Well, you said by July first, but that would probably
be later depending on how the season goes as well. Yeah, yeah,
but you're you're in a mid al West and you
would need him if you want to try to make
the playoffs and then maybe try to make some noise there.
Speaking of Frommer, I did want to say real quick,
I did think of this one. I think he's got
a quality start in him tonight. It's a rose I
would hope so. But he does flock between good and bad.

(01:16:41):
I'm telling you today he's due for a bad I'm
telling you from I will jump on your band. Let's go, baby,
that's what I'm talking about, and we'll answer your question
about the greatest events we've been to uh in a
little bit. Let me do that after the news at noon,
Let's go to a Scott and River Oak. Scott was
in your gut this week?

Speaker 11 (01:17:00):
What's up, guys?

Speaker 15 (01:17:01):
I have no I have no inside information on this,
but I wanted to get this out into the ether.
It ends up being right tomorrow with this NFL schedule.
Let's think of me, so I'll give you my evidence
really quick. The Texans haven't been at home for the
last two seasons in Leak one, so I think they
will have a home game in Leak one. The NFL
posted on their Instagram reman Likes promoting the schedule, release

(01:17:25):
highlights of the Texans Bills game sequence and posts with
that game. So I would predict Leak one Texans Bills
will be Monday Night football. If that ends up being correct,
think of me tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
Not only that's Scott. If it hits, you have to
call on Thursday and brag about it. We'll let you
do what an advanced.

Speaker 15 (01:17:42):
Bragg looking forward to the call.

Speaker 1 (01:17:46):
All right, Bill, he's calling a shot. Bill's Texans Monday Night.
That's sex. Sounds very sexy. I would do that. What
do I say? I said, nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:18:05):
God, you're just trying to catch me every time you can.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
You can playing bross with that one. Let me tell you.
Johnathan Friday's said that's sexy Fridays. I'll be on it too.
Friday's will be it's gonna be so long the introduction,
we won't even have a show.

Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
Now I'm gonna put the top, put the top like six. Okay,
we'll save in for the weeks from where we have
some we behave ourselves. You know, sometimes you gotta save
someone in reserve. Man, I got a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:18:28):
I got a lot in reserve.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
It's pent up jail on seven ninety eleven fifty three jail.
Thanks for holding in. Good morning to you. What's in
your gut?

Speaker 11 (01:18:36):
Good morning?

Speaker 17 (01:18:37):
So my gut is throws win the next four games
we got fromer tonight. I don't know who the heck's
pitching tomorrow, but we got Hunter Brown and a lance
for Colors held back, bounce back, and we'll get four
in a row.

Speaker 11 (01:18:49):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (01:18:50):
So that's my gut, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
That means two against Kansas City and the first two
games against the Rangers in Arlington, Colton Gordon.

Speaker 3 (01:18:58):
Apparently it's gonna start tomorrow. Is that official?

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
No, that's basically the tea leaves the tea. It would
be regular rest for him. He can pitch right right right. Uh,
basically channel roam twitted, you connect the dots. He pitches
regular rests on Wednesday, Love Chandler. Yeah, he's he's a
connected back guy, by the way. Uh, joe a spot.
I got the Chandler yesterday we were they were talking,
we were in the dugout before the game and talking

(01:19:22):
about Jordan Alvarez and he's like asking some questions and
then he said, well, Chandler, you didn't ask if you're
on Alvarez is gonna be back playing today because today
he's doing to come off the injured list.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
And then he wouldn't answer. I said, because. Then I said,
because he's waiting for twelve thirty tomorrow on Sports Talk seven. Honey.
So I media boasted in front of our in front
of some of our colleague. Good job, Matt, of which
that yesterday I respect. There wasn't anybody I didn't respect
in that group.

Speaker 4 (01:19:49):
Well I was.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
I was wondering, thank you for busting out the Matt
Thomas respect meter. Well man, I go to Rockets media
veil though, and I don't respect. But ninety percent of
those people. Oh what poor, bad, just awful. But I digress.
All right, don't shake your head at me. We're all
waiting for baited breath for the Matt Thomas respect meter. Hey,

(01:20:10):
you get the respect meter, You're gonna do something in
your life. Oh, it took you seven years seven I
thought it. We're still that, We're still perm Yeah, I
mean it comes and goes. Oh like a karma chameleon.

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
Why are you bringing up boat, George? You said it
comes and goes?

Speaker 5 (01:20:27):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
Oh real quick, Okay, so we'll do we'll do that.
You know what we don't We gotta get the news
at news yeahse.

Speaker 3 (01:20:35):
So we have the news at now, and then we.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
Have to answer the two or three greatest sporting events
I've ever personally been to. I've already thought of a couple.
I have one of the moves in the summer of
twenty eighteen, he said, most memorable, right, win or lose?

Speaker 13 (01:20:51):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
Is it win or lose? Win or lose? All right,
win or lose. I'll tell you it ain't great. So
I ain't great. One's great. One of the one was
a kid in skip school and I got in trouble
for but it was worth it. Okay, we'll recurse around that.

Speaker 18 (01:21:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:21:08):
We have Joe Spotta coming up in thirty five minutes.
Brian King at won thirty, the NFL rewe it won
twenty and Ross so Ross, you got the news at noon,
NFL rewe and believe it or not today all in
the next two hours, can you prepare that wall trying
to enjoy a nice lunch?

Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
We shall see eleven fifty six. We start the news
at noon next.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
Twelve OL one on Sports Talk seven ninety. We are
halfway down. We've been taking this program to two o'clock
this ch afternoon seven one three two one two five
seven ninety. If you want to jump in seven one
three two one two five seven AINTI. Our most memorable
sporting events we've witnessed in person are coming up in
a few minutes. We also have a story about television

(01:21:51):
and streaming that I don't think is going to go
well for the company in which they are announcing. We'll
discuss that, but first we present to you the news
and Une and we will do that with the Chris
Berman of Houston sportscasting crossfield real back back back back
back back back back back back there eight as mad
as what we lead off with. Okay, now, I'm not

(01:22:11):
gonna do any of that. I'm sorry, you know what.
I'd like to apologize just for doing that. All right,
let's go ahead and start with the local nine Astros
skipper Joe Espada is coming up at twelve thirty. We'll
also have Brian King come on up at one thirty
here on your home for your Houston Astros. Last night,
Houston Astros not looking so hot against the Kansas City Royals.

Speaker 3 (01:22:31):
But I'll tell you who was Jackie Myers, what O
to Buyers?

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
Round ball through the right side. That's a pay sit
that'll score Ads.

Speaker 19 (01:22:39):
Caratini stops at third and now the ball gets away
for waters he Caratini will come at the score.

Speaker 1 (01:22:44):
Buyers goes to second, seven to four, Kansas City.

Speaker 4 (01:22:49):
At Harvey.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
All right, there you go, Jake Myers with a couple
of hits. Funny thing Matt Is on Saturday, you got
shelled Lance Perculors did at the beginning. You still scored
nine runs most of the season, nine runs enough to
win most of the season, five runs enough to win. Unfortunately,
you got bad starts in those games. Yeah, and it's
gonna tax. What is a bullpen that has been used
quite a bit. That's why tonight you gotta have good Fromer.

(01:23:15):
We both got feeling quality starts. You gotta have fromber
do what reneal Blancer gave you on Sunday, and that
was I'm not saying eight innings, eleven strikeouts, but something
close wouldn't be the worst thing. Yes, also still at
this moment listed as TBA for the Houston Astros. As
far as a starter, leader in the clubhouse seems to
be Colton Gordon. He's been pitching well in Triple A
and we'll be on regular rest tomorrow. Pitching depth, We're

(01:23:37):
getting to Barry to find out what it is. You
know what I had to call yesterday. What are the
Astros gonna do about pitching depth? Well, I'm sorry. When
you have two fifths of your starting rotation and they
on the injured list, and you got another one of
your guy who's just two starts removed from being on
the injured list for two and a half years. Not
every team is built with nine starters. They've just got
to weather it right now? Yeah, I agree. Unfortunately, we'll

(01:24:01):
see what happens with the Astros and this stretch. As
you mentioned, seventeen games in seventeen days. Moving along to
the NBA sphere, hard to imagine scenarios where the lottery
goes much worse for the Houston Rockets. Not only do
they get bumped because some team jumped them, as they
were in the nine spot, so they have the number
ten pick.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
Do the Houston Rockets right now.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
But leaping up all the way to number one out
of the top four, the Dallas Mavericks, who are in
all likelihood going to draft Cooper flag number one overall.
Then right behind them in the number two spot the
San Antonio Spurs. It's the Rutgers guard whose name is
escaping me right now, who is supposed to be the

(01:24:43):
consensus number two overall pick. So kind of a good pair.
Dylan Harper is his name, point guard, shooting guard, wing,
whatever you want to call him, six foot six, paired
with the Aaron Fox, Stefan Castle and Victor Wibin Yama
Spurs and Mavericks may none of them break their legs,
could be looking formidable in the next season.

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
Matt, how about that lottery last night?

Speaker 1 (01:25:10):
It was not rigged. It'd be easier to say it
was rigged. I wasn't gonna bring that up. We feel
better about ourselves. But it wasn't rigged.

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
No, it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
Right now picked. According to NBA draft dot Net, in
their mock draft, they have Thomas Sober six' ten center
out Of georgetown going to The. Rockets i've also seen
Vi espn And Jonathan, Gavoni Casparis. JACKS i don't want.
Him why? Not it could be hard for me to, Say,

(01:25:40):
oh can you you can tell where he's from by that.
Name say it, Again Casparis. Jackass oh he's Some, Greece.
Lithuania same, thing Because Demodis. Sabonis it feels like first
and the last name is always with.

Speaker 5 (01:25:56):
An s with With.

Speaker 1 (01:25:57):
Lithuanians for whatever, Reason Mandas, sibonis R Vetus, sibonis Uh,
yakasivicis you, know all those, Time Jacobus danatus Monte, unis
for whatever. Reason you know, What i'm gonna call you
the king of. Dialog i'm A lithuanian. Native people don't

(01:26:19):
know that, Actually but, Yes, matt you brought up the
rigging of THE Nba draft. LOTTERY i mean it was
all over social. Media i've made a joking reference to.
IT i don't believe it's, rigged but it does seem
mighty convenient that The Dallas mavericks. Lose luka Doncic Nick
Nico harrison gets the get out of a jail free
card by winning the lottery with just a one point

(01:26:41):
eight percent Chance Twitter pritg At SPORTS. Rv do you
think THE nba rigs the draft lottery right? Now eighty
seven percent saying, yes just thirteen percent saying. No that
troubles me that the number is so high that you
would think a sports organization would rig something like that

(01:27:01):
amulti billion dollar. Conglomerate it's it's a funny bit for
us because we were bitter about the. Situation but in all,
SERIOUSNESS i, mean you're losing, advertisers you're losing, dollars you're
losing interest if you actually rig the. League There's ernst
and young is watching over, this there's representatives from every
team watching the lottery as. WELL i understand you kind

(01:27:22):
of connect the, dots but we're talking about a few
instances over the last thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:27:26):
Years you gotta go back to eighty, five like you,
said that was forty years.

Speaker 1 (01:27:29):
Ago then we mentioned The Lebron, draft The Kyrie irving, one,
right a couple of that's like five out of forty
years where it seems super.

Speaker 3 (01:27:37):
Convenient maybe there's some more that we can go to as.
Well But i'm with you about.

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
IT i think it's ridiculous to think that actually, actually
actually the league is. Rigged AM i pissed? Off? Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
Yes SO i hate, life absolutely.

Speaker 8 (01:27:50):
DO i.

Speaker 1 (01:27:50):
Can't CAN i not believe in the top two picks
in this draft or with In Southwest division teams The
rockets will play four times. Each i'm, stally frankly more
scared of What San antonio is gonna do from a
leap standpoint THAN i would even with what's going on In.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
Dallas, honestly all, right If wenbe stays.

Speaker 1 (01:28:08):
Healthy moved along of the news at, Noon we've been
talking about THE nfl schedule, release and it looks like
THE nfl is going on the offensive against The College Football.

Speaker 3 (01:28:20):
Playoff with the newly released late season.

Speaker 1 (01:28:23):
Schedule College Football playoff will hold three of its four
opening round games On, Saturday december, twentieth and another opening
round game On, Friday december, Nineteenth.

Speaker 14 (01:28:33):
That will be my.

Speaker 1 (01:28:33):
BIRTHDAY nfl is basically coming after. Them they're gonna have
games on the, twentieth and they have the twenty first as.

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
Well is what this article That i'm reading is.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
SAYING i might have misread, this but basically what's happening
is THE nfl The fox doubleheader ex give me a,
yes there'll be A fox doubleheader On december, twentieth going
ahead to head basically with college football. Playoffs who's gonna
win that between THE nfl doubleheader and the college to GET?

Speaker 3 (01:29:05):
Fl but, man THE nfl just gives zero fs nere
to Go wednesday.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
Night what was? It christmas? FOOTBALL nfl does not. Care
and but to their, CREDIT i guess they are putting
good matchups. There, yes and apparently it's gonna be mark
you now tells you that they're going after. Them they're putting.
Market they're not going to put you, Know carolina Versus
indianapolis on.

Speaker 3 (01:29:29):
There put it that. Way, yeah, well it'd be nice
if they.

Speaker 1 (01:29:32):
Did speaking of, that and speaking of, Scheduling, matt some
people are upset that The Ohio State texas college football
playoff rematch it will be a big noon. Game it's
supposed to, be of, course twelve O'clock, eastern eleven o'clock
Here central in week number One texas taking on The
Ohio State. BUCKEYES a lot of people don't like big

(01:29:54):
games at eleven. O'clock we were talking about. This i'm
at the. Show i'm okay with it BECAUSE i like
two thirty. GAMES i like big night, games why not
a big eleven o'clock game, Too and Maybe i'm kind
of conditioned for this because OH U texas for years
and years and years is always at not, always but
most of the time had been at eleven. O'clock so
typically ninety percent of the games in the past ten
years that are eleven o'clock are usually ones you with

(01:30:16):
night not want to watch or spend any time with
there in the.

Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
Background.

Speaker 1 (01:30:20):
Yeah fox has made a concerted effort to make that
their primary game game of the, week AND i like
that idea from them BECAUSE i, mean, look it's not
like it's too early in the. DAY nfl start at,
twelve but you're gonna do the later. On if you
put those games at two, thirty guess What Texas Ohio.
State maybe a sexy, game but you HAVE lsu Versus
alabama two. THIRTY Lsu alabama's gonna win.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
That.

Speaker 1 (01:30:40):
YEAH i think it's a way for them to dominate that,

Speaker 1 (01:40:16):

Speaker 1 (01:40:17):
Baseball, Say i'll Say Brian bogasvik and anybody got time for?

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
That all?

Speaker 1 (01:40:21):
Right, so so other members of the, media we're afraid
to ask. YOU i ain't scared about. You i'm gonna
tell you right. Now i'm gonna ask you right. Now
you're on An alvareski playing?

Speaker 18 (01:40:29):
Tonight uh come, on, no, no he's not playing. Tonight oh,
okay give us an update then at, least.

Speaker 11 (01:40:41):
But he's he's feeling.

Speaker 2 (01:40:42):
Better the plan is for him to come in today
and continue to, uh you, know progress and swinging the.
Bat you, know Obviously upta is one day of hitting
in the, team we will like to see uh more, progress.

Speaker 11 (01:40:56):
You, know but he, is he's feeling a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:40:58):
Better that's. Good let me ask you, this and you're
not a, doctor, clearly but is there something he can
do because, look the hand's been an issue a couple of,
times and, maybe as you've been dealing with so many
athletes in your, life skipt people have bad backs or
necks or sore, forums whatever the case may, be is
there anything he can do to adjust so this doesn't
become a problem every couple of years or is this
just a byproduct of playing an incredibly difficult.

Speaker 2 (01:41:20):
Sport, yeah you know he's you, know he, plays he,
plays you, know he plays every.

Speaker 11 (01:41:25):
Day he he you, know gripping the, bat swinging the.

Speaker 2 (01:41:29):
Bat they're wear and tear with years of. Accumulation how
many games we've played for so many.

Speaker 11 (01:41:35):
Seasons you, know it. Happens but one THING i do tell, you,
though he, is you, know he works his butt. Off
he's always trying to you, know stay strong and and
and stay in the.

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
Lineup and you, know sometimes there's things that we can't.
Control AND i think that you, know once we get this, right,
uh he's hopefully he doesn't have to deal with this,
anymore and we don't have, to you, know take take
some off days to let you know this heal and
deal with this.

Speaker 1 (01:42:05):
Again so much of the conversation in the last handful
of days has been about the seventeen games in seventeen.
Days AND i thought what you said yesterday was interesting
about this is not the worst thing in the. World,
obviously you want to stay with a five man, rotation
get an extra arm in the, bullpen get some guys,
off and, look days off are always a. Preme BUT
i want you to tell our audience what you said

(01:42:26):
to the media, yesterday WHICH i thought was, intriguing about
getting into a regular routine and this is the heart
of the baseball.

Speaker 3 (01:42:31):
Season and you know, what seventeen games ain't the worst
thing in the.

Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
World you know, what we take the off, days, Right
we welcome the off.

Speaker 11 (01:42:38):
Days you, know we rather have the off, days you.

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
Know August september right where we really, are you, know
in the dog days Of august, right were grinding.

Speaker 11 (01:42:48):
It we were late in the.

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
Season we need some, Rest we need you, know be
able to recover and regroup.

Speaker 11 (01:42:56):
And stuff like.

Speaker 2 (01:42:57):
That but you, know early in the, season you, know
we go and we get on a group of, things,
right and then, uh five days, later there's an off, day.
Right you, know guys like, routines were starting to figure
some stuff out, offensively that off they can interrupt that
and then you got to get back in the flow of.

Speaker 4 (01:43:16):
Things you.

Speaker 11 (01:43:17):
Know these baseball players are.

Speaker 2 (01:43:20):
They're you, know they're they have they have, routines they have,
habits they have. Ways when they feel, good they want
to go back the next day and and and feel it. Again,
Right SO i welcome the straight games right. NOW i
got to be smart in HOW i manage the whole
entire workload for the guys and give them some off
days here and. There but these guys want to.

Speaker 11 (01:43:42):
Get a flow of.

Speaker 2 (01:43:43):
Things they're starting to feel good about, things and they
wanted they're looking forward to the next day to build
on whatever they left the day. Before so that's WHY
i think us gating in these games in a, ROW
i THINK i think it can help.

Speaker 1 (01:43:58):
Us was Manager Joe spotta was here On Sports talk seven.
Ninety how is Jose L twove feeling after being in
the lineup yesterday and is there any thought to managing
the workload or is he basically a full Go.

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
No he's.

Speaker 1 (01:44:12):
Good he's.

Speaker 2 (01:44:12):
Good i'm gonna d h him, today but he came
out feeling, good uh after the game. Yesterday so, hopefully,
uh we put, this you, know the hamstring issue behind,
us but something that we need to keep eye in,
minds especially going To dallas year and you, know we
we start we start playing in the uh on the,
turf and then going To, tampa which we know we'll

(01:44:36):
be dealing with some humidity and hot weather playing. Outdoors
so we got to keep eye on and and and
and the guys. Here uh in the next week or.

Speaker 1 (01:44:44):
Two, uh you've Put Jeremy panna in the leadoff spot
in the. Lineup he has responded, well a couple of
more hits. Yesterday i'm just curious for you you can
kind of talk about his his growth personally and the
type of person he is and the challenges he's taken
on in his young, career in the struggles that he
had and leading to how well he's.

Speaker 3 (01:45:03):
Hitting now you, know you, know for, me it's just a.

Speaker 2 (01:45:06):
Confidence you, know once when you put someone in the leadoff.
Spot it's something that he's. Done he didn't you, know
in college, career his amateur. Career he loves. It you,
know he feels, like you, know everything goes through. Me
i'm the one who's going to ignite the. Offense he
has taken it very seriously and it has actually helped
his approached and and he's mindset and he's done it
a remarkable.

Speaker 3 (01:45:26):
Job it's just for, me it's just how he's driving the.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
Ball you actually see him getting himself in and do, hitters,
counts actually doing some out of takes because he kind
of got, it understands what the pitcher is trying to.
Do he's getting himself in and and and at bats
where he's controlling the whole entire. Tempo AND i think
it's just. MATURITY i think it's. CONFIDENT i think it's you,

(01:45:50):
know trust uh that we have given. Him AND i you,
KNOW i hope that this is something that he can
grow from and we can keep him.

Speaker 11 (01:45:59):
There for years to.

Speaker 1 (01:45:59):
Come and he Mentioned jeremy did about Al tuove giving
him some advice and, said, hey you're going to be
in the lead off, spot but just be. Yourself don't
change your project because of where you are on the.
Lineup is that basically the message not only to, him
but everyone as you move them.

Speaker 2 (01:46:12):
Around, yeah of course you know they are who they
are This you, Know jeremy is someone who likes to
hunt the, fastball, Right he's the guy who is going
to go up there looking to drive.

Speaker 11 (01:46:24):
The ball early in.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
Account but it's okay if they don't give you that
pitch right. Away you could wait for the next, pitch
and if he's not, there you've got good enough back
to ball skills where you could put the ball in.
Play don't be afraid to hear with two. Strikes you,
know know who's, behind you know the situation of the.
Game those are things That alto has done a really

(01:46:46):
good job walking him.

Speaker 11 (01:46:47):
Through in and our hitting. Coaches just know where you're
at in the.

Speaker 1 (01:46:50):
Game you, know long inning by one of our.

Speaker 2 (01:46:53):
Pitchers know that we don't need you to make a quick.
Out give your pitcher a, breather. Right all those things
are things that we talked To i've been talking to him.

Speaker 11 (01:47:01):
Through he's done a fabulus.

Speaker 1 (01:47:02):
Job Joe you've been Balancing Zach desenso And cam on the,
outfield moving them around a little, bit days off playing consecutive.
Games is it too much to ask at this point
for those two guys with such little major league experience
to take the bull by the horns and take the
spot every, day or would you ultimately like to see
those somebody battle that out and, say, ah, Right i'm

(01:47:23):
penciling him in six days a.

Speaker 2 (01:47:24):
Week you, know we really want them to take over
and and and get more regular at.

Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
BATS i think THEY'RE i think they're.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
Close you, Know i'm looking.

Speaker 11 (01:47:36):
More of the quality of our.

Speaker 2 (01:47:38):
BATS i really want to make sure THAT i match
them up against some certain pictures THAT i know they
can they can handle right. Now you just don't want
to build them up and then go through a stretch
where they struggle. OFFENSIVELY i think they're done a really
nice job in the corner. Outfields it's just you, know
monitoring their are bats to, quality if the bats they're swing,

(01:48:01):
decisions how hard they hitting the, ball you, know because
early in your career in the big leagues getting that
down is very, important AND i don't want them to
be overwhelmed.

Speaker 11 (01:48:12):
By you know too many at bats in a. Row,
so BUT i think both guys are.

Speaker 1 (01:48:18):
Capable of playing every day in the big.

Speaker 11 (01:48:20):
LEAGUES i really am confident about.

Speaker 1 (01:48:22):
THAT i know you're going to hold a roster spot
probably for tomorrow, starter WHICH i think you'll anounce later
at the. Ballpark but let me ask you about the
six man rotation and the fact that you are down
a reliever that's. Obvious does it caution you a little
bit when you go to the phone and, say go
get somebody warmed? Up but because you are, SO i
would perceive to be concerned about too. Much warranteed that

(01:48:43):
if you put bring a guy up and get him warmed,
up that's going to be an indirect notion that he's
going to be eventually on that.

Speaker 2 (01:48:48):
Mound, Yeah and that's the, thing especially when you're in
a seventeen game stretch and you know we have lost
too starters and we have one less pitcher in the,
pen you know we're going to need some of our
starters to just to give us some. Length if if
there will be some off days here and, there you
could be a little bit more. Aggressive but right now

(01:49:09):
where we are in the season and how we need
to be very aware of the workload of some of this,
guys especially what happens last. Year you, KNOW i don't
want to go through that. Again we have to be
really smart on how we use its guys this early
in the.

Speaker 1 (01:49:26):
Season last question fromber has had a little bit of
a yo yo start of the. Season and it's funny
it's it's characterized by good farmer versus Bad and then
maybe that's too strong of a term on his definition
of who he. Is but when he is in that,
knockdown drag, out out by, out pitch by pitch, excellency

(01:49:46):
when do you see? It do you see it as
he gets through the first time of the, lineup the
second time? Through and, conversely when do you know that
man this could be a struggle for. Him What what
are some signs that tells you what Farmber val? Does
you're going to see in the mount on that particular.

Speaker 2 (01:49:59):
Start efficiency from the very from the first. Inning you,
KNOW i like to look at the scoreboard and look
at the shape of his, sinker, right the movement and
the velo ground balls, early you, know strike one, early
breaking ball under all those sides, right once you see

(01:50:20):
him twenty thirty pitches in and he's in that second
inning and he's cruising and and he's coming in the
dog confidence saying the things that you want to hear
out of. HIM i Asked Johan ordaz where he's at right?
Now he's A joe everything he's moving, well, uh you,
know the stuff is, late moving. Late we got the
action that we're looking, for all those, signs it's WHAT

(01:50:40):
i want to hear in.

Speaker 11 (01:50:41):
The first twenty five thirty pitches of the.

Speaker 1 (01:50:43):
Game and when he's on the when he's on the, roll.

Speaker 2 (01:50:46):
It's it's It's valdez, quick, outs, dominant and you, know
our bullpen kind of knows where everything's going to fall
into when everything is falling into. Play so we need
that today after you, know going through our bullpen. Today
SO i Know fremberg on the stands on the stands
this and expecting.

Speaker 4 (01:51:05):
To be pretty good.

Speaker 1 (01:51:05):
Tonight great stuff has always. Skipped thank you very, much
good luck tonight against The. Royal we really appreciate you joining.

Speaker 3 (01:51:10):
Us we'll see.

Speaker 11 (01:51:11):
You you got.

Speaker 1 (01:51:11):
It that's A joe spot of joining us here On
Sports talk seven ninety twelve forty three is our. Time
so you're not close but not ready yet to come
off the injured. List, okay that's. Fine MAYBE I i mean,
YEAH i mean, again you've got tremendous wiggle room, here
you just do the bats have been, hitting is the
bats are. Going the, pitching the starting has been a little,

(01:51:33):
erratic and again a lot of that is because you
lost two fifthyr. Rotation you got another guy coming in
there that hasn't done a. Lot and the fact of
the matter, is it's if you're going to go through,
this it might as well be in twenty twenty five
when the division isn't there's nobody crushing in the division
and trying to push him back out there when he's
not ready to. GO i don't think his is in
the is in his best interest because again it's you,

(01:51:54):
KNOW i don't hate to be sports radio host.

Speaker 3 (01:51:56):
Cliche it's a, marathon not a.

Speaker 1 (01:51:58):
Sprint it's.

Speaker 3 (01:51:59):
True it's.

Speaker 1 (01:52:01):
Early it's. Early it, REALLY i, mean it really is
a lot of baseball. Left we're at the quarter, pole,
right twenty and twenty, Right, yeah they play one hundred
and sixty tw last time a chess, guy wow, man a,
wizard give you a little horse racing The nacunar. Two
how about that separates me from the others start calling
You Putagoras, Agris yeah is That? Greek, yeah look at

(01:52:25):
you twelve forty, Four Sports talk seven Ninety it is
About tabas Show. Ross if you want to come to
anything That joe had to, say you were walking to
do so it's seven one three two one two five
seven ninety seven one three two one two five Sevenainetys
at a matter of, Moments paul hang tight Uh ross
was uncovering something today FROM. Espn And i've always said,

(01:52:47):
this And i've been called it's been bs by some,
people BUT i believe. It the whole cord cutting thing
wasn't going to make a lot of sense in the long,
term AND i feel Like i'm a little bit vindicated by.
Now there are exceptions of.

Speaker 3 (01:53:01):
THAT i will, say, yeah go, Ahead i'll let.

Speaker 1 (01:53:05):
You but my point is is that when ten years
ago or even less than, that people are running, me
going met the kids are doing, it they're saving. Money
you're really if you cord, cut you really aren't saving.
Money it's to watch television is, expensive especially you've got
various shows on various, networks and SO i just think

(01:53:25):
you have to grin and bear the exceptional cost of television,
viewing whether it's streaming or. Networks but this whole thing
of cost cutting was going to ruin the world was
large exaggerated because a lot of these people are cost
cutting and they wind up buying cord. Cutting cord cutting
then they wind up buying their amazonis cost, cutting whatever
you want to call. It at the end of the,

(01:53:45):
day you were paying as much if not, More and
it's more complicated because you're not having to rely on The,
internet and if Your internet goes, down you're. Screwed SO
i just want to, SAY i get very few wins
in my. Life i'm taking a small victory lap on.
THIS i will agree with, you just with one small. Caveat,
OH i know you. Are you're mister caveat if you're
a sports. Fan if you're a sports, fan, yeah you're.

(01:54:06):
RIGHT i mean you. Can't you gotta Have Space City Home.
Network you Got if you just turned everything, off read
a book and put on some soft, jazz you're. Good,
well my guess, is if you're a cord, cutter you
could probably live on a antenna And netflix and be just. Fine,
yeah an Aintenda. Netflix you probably already Have Amazon. Prime
you're we're Pretty maybe you GET i Get max because

(01:54:29):
of my cell, provider but you made me and maybe
you Want. Disney, yeah now that's another set of can
you share a bundle with your? Friends that's Again rossville
endorsing your Legal then you threaten to cancel and they
lower your rate for three. Months all, Right so go
to our try to help the folks. Out i'm about
to threaten to Cancel mixfinity. Tonight are you, like, NO i.

(01:54:52):
Can't CAN i record that phone? Call, Like i'm sick
of you, People i'm. Quitting then they'll give you a
good offer. Anyway so we HAVE. Espn what are we talking?

Speaker 4 (01:54:59):
ABOUT?

Speaker 1 (01:55:00):
Espn, OH, Espn, Yes, matt they are launching their own
streaming service with their family of, networks which you, say,
okay that makes. Sense it's going to BE, ESPN, ABC
espn one. Two the Article, yeah the article THAT i

(01:55:21):
have doesn't list all of, it But Chris cordy did.
Earlier So i'm going to go To Chris Cordy's. Twitter
give the man a. Follow, YEAH, espn T U, NEWS Sec,
NETWORK Acc, NETWORK ESPN, AB Espn plus AND Sec Network,
plus et. Cetera thirty dollars per. Month or three and

(01:55:43):
two hundred and ninety nine dollars a, year which is
a slight. Discount if you do that and tack on
fifteen you get the bundle With disney And.

Speaker 3 (01:55:52):
Hulu, there that's not a.

Speaker 1 (01:55:56):
Deal that's not. Innovative that's just re which is. SELLING i,
mean that's just. Repackaging and twenty would be a. Deal
thirty it's, like, oh because you're playing thirty for, that you,
know and you add fifteen For disney and, whatever that's forty.
Five Then netflix is costing you fifteen to. Twenty if
you've got a FOUR k, package it's going to be even.
More if you got to share, package it's gonna be even.

(01:56:19):
More and THEN i Mentioned max And Amazon prime and
you add it all up and it's, like you're it's
basically the same exact thing as paying for. Cable why?
Man and by the, way when you subscribe to satellog
LIKE i DO i take My ESPN's with me on my? Phone, yeah,
exactly log in And i'm, Fine i'm it's the same exact, thing,

around sports, fan, realistically, okay leave.

The cable companies to. Win but they're.

Speaker 1 (01:56:45):
Winning we get my money every. MONTH i know you're,
Right you're, Right but, realistically if you are a sports,
fan AND i would presume that ninety eight percent of
the people that are listening to show are sports, fans
you have Either Recrere, raminity boob say it boom. Boop
where do we get a kid over this mubou boop?

(01:57:06):

me to understand AND comprehendi but that's to each his.

Speaker 3 (01:57:29):
Own, yeah but if you don't HAVE.

Speaker 1 (01:57:33):
I can't imagine a sports fan that is not a
subscriber to one of the five things that we just.
Mentioned what what segment of The american population that is
a sports fan doesn't HAVE Espn and the ready right
now that thinks this is a better, deal it's.

Else and he never got off the.

Speaker 21 (02:00:33):
Bench the big strength of this team was they could

something for.

Speaker 1 (02:01:11):
Him he was a steel to begin.

fifty ross with us today's edition to believe it or.
NOT i don't know famous, kings famous streaming. Services you

(02:05:14):
know they're calling the streaming SERVICE espn much well well
out of the box thinking. There they paid a consulting
from five million dollars to figure that. Out probably, yeh
let's go To dave In spring at ONE o seven.
Day thank you for holding in good.

Speaker 20 (02:05:28):
Afternoon by good, afternoon, GUYS i didn't even have to
hold that long it was just a couple of, Minutes
so thank.

Speaker 1 (02:05:33):
YOU i think you. Waited if anybody that takes time
to wait for the, SHOW i.

Speaker 20 (02:05:37):
Appreciate All, right, well, listen here's my. THOUGHT i want
to get your thought on. This watching the draft last
night and seeing The spurs end up with the second,
pick it just occurred to me that they're now in
a pretty good position if they wanted to go After.
Giannis you, know you take the number two pick and
maybe another future first rounder And castle or whatever and

(02:05:58):
offer him to the to The. Bucks you, KNOW i
think that they traded For DeAndre, fox and the second
best player in this. Draft Everything i'm reading Is, harper
WHO i think plays the same position As, fox and
SO i don't, know it's just kind of lining up
like it could be The. Spurs maybe it would at
least inquire, about you, know picking Up, giannis and then

(02:06:19):
you think About wemby And giannis And fox and then
plugging some guys around. Him that'd be really really, good really.
Fast SO i just want to see what you.

Speaker 1 (02:06:27):
THOUGHT i hope they trade all the players for second
round picks and lose sixty games next.

Speaker 3 (02:06:31):
Year probably not gonna.

Speaker 1 (02:06:33):
Happen as far As Dylan harper and being on the
it's twenty twenty five. Basketball you don't Say i'm checking a.
Box this is my point, guard this is my shooting,
guard this is my small, forward this is my power,
forward this is my.

Speaker 3 (02:06:45):
Center that's just you can play three three.

Speaker 1 (02:06:47):
Guards yeah, Yeah look At Golden state they played four
guards in a borderline power forward played.

Speaker 4 (02:06:56):
Center.

Speaker 1 (02:06:57):
Yeah, YEAH I i don't doesn't doesn't mean they wouldn't.
Trade is the number two pick appeal To? Milwaukee, absolutely
it does WHAT i would. Think you'd have to give
ups to Find castle for. It, absolutely you'd have, to because,
Honestly Devin masell doesn't move the. Needle Jeremy sohan doesn't
move the. NEEDLE i, mean these are all players that

(02:07:18):
would be thrown in the, mix but the price selection
would be the number two pick in ste Fine. Castle
then you can Go yiannis Dearon Fox wemby you have
a hilatiously big front. Line mm. Hmm but, YEAH I
i hope they make terrible. MISTAKES i Hope Mitch johnson
is a terrible. Coach i'm sure he's a swell human,

(02:07:39):
being But i'm never gonna wish The spurs any. LUCK
i hope they lose sixty games next. Year but they're
In they're in a much Better they're in a much
better position to make a significant move to go chase
After giannis than at this point The rockets. Are because
you would dangle out the rookie of the year and
you would dangle the number two. Pick you would have
to take probably both for, those and then maybe some

(02:08:01):
on top of that in order to Bring giannis To San.
Antonio but As Kendrick perkins said earlier today ON, espn
he believes That giannis wants to stay in The Eastern.

Speaker 3 (02:08:11):
CONFERENCE i would hope Now.

Speaker 1 (02:08:14):
Milwaukee Now milwaukee can SAY i don't care what you,
want but my guess is the relationship Between giannis and
The Milwaukee bucks is still very strong that If jannis, says,
yes if it's best for your organization to do a,
reboot then and Then giannis can go back and say that's.
Fine i'll be happy to do, that but just find
me somewhere in The. East M, FRANKLY i don't want
to See yanis more than twice a. Year it's already

(02:08:36):
been tough enough as it. IS i don't THINK i
don't THINK i have called A rockets win In milwaukee
since they were in The Bradley, Center.

Speaker 8 (02:08:46):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (02:08:46):
RIGHT i don't Think i've ever called a winning and
fizer form and it's been there for five, years like
maybe even longer than. That by the, way it, was
how Was rutgers basketball so? Bad and they have two
top five? Picks whether it was they hurt, Uh Dan
harper And Ace. BAILEY i can't Handle rutgers basketball talk
on the. SHOW i don't know what happened to. Them

(02:09:07):
can you believe That rutgers is in The Big?

Speaker 2 (02:09:09):
Ten?

Speaker 1 (02:09:09):
SERIOUSLY i mean there's some goofy ass geographic things with
the big with The big with The Big, ten WITH, U,
c L, a AND, usc And i'm kind of used to,
That but do you Know. Rutgers When rutgers Plays, maryland
it's A Big ten? Game mm. Hmm that sounds. Good
when they play U, Usc WHEN smu Plays, stanford it's

(02:09:32):
an acc Game.

Speaker 3 (02:09:36):

Speaker 2 (02:14:35):
He.

Speaker 1 (02:14:35):
Said Brian king said, Us, hey congratulations on another successful
start for the season for. Yourself let me ask you
That i've been asking a lot of the guys as
the last handful of days this seventeen games and seventeen.

Speaker 3 (02:14:47):
Appearances AND i asked your manager about this when.

Speaker 1 (02:14:49):
He was with us at the last. Hour it almost feels,
like right, now if you get the nick call to
go warm, up you're gonna pitch because you just can't
waste those nights getting hot in the. Bullpen is that
fair to? Say, YEAH.

Speaker 4 (02:15:01):
I mean it just depends on the, situation. Right you,
know we've had a couple a couple of times warming
up this week that we haven't gone in and you
just you never. Know it's it's a tough situation being
in the, bullpen and it all kind of depends on
what the team needs that.

Speaker 1 (02:15:17):
Day and right now this bullpen has been used a.
Lot how are you kind of navigating through the? Waters is?
It are you one of those guys that always wakes
up in morning GOING i need this day or do
you feel like you you need advanced notices to when
you're gonna get out?

Speaker 3 (02:15:32):
THERE i, mean do you have that kind of leverage
at this point in your young major league?

Speaker 4 (02:15:35):
CAREER i, mean whenever they call, you you've got to
be ready to. Go that's that's how the business, Works
that's how the game. Goes and you, know everybody down,
there whether we've pitched a day or, TWO i, mean
it's you gotta be ready to. Go and that's kind
of the beauty of it is you, know if you
have a bad, one you're back in. There if you
have a good, one you're back in.

Speaker 1 (02:15:54):
There it seems like you've been established as the seventh
inning role with a, bray you're taking over eighth and
hey here at. Ninth was that ever discussed formally or is?
It did Did joe or anybody talk to you about?
That or is it something that just kind of. Happened.

Speaker 4 (02:16:09):
NO i mean at the beginning of the year they
told me, like, hey you've got an opportunity to pitch
and leverage, situations and you, Know i'm grateful to get
to do. That but LIKE i, said you, know it
doesn't matter when when the name gets, Called i'll be
ready to.

Speaker 3 (02:16:23):
Go what was that like for you to kind of
hear that?

Speaker 1 (02:16:25):
Is for you, know you've been throws through so much
in your career and multiple Organizations Tommy john. Surgery was it,
like did it make you, nervous, happy all of? Above
what was that? Like what are those conversations like for?

Speaker 2 (02:16:35):
You?

Speaker 4 (02:16:37):
NO i love. IT i love pitching when the game's
on the line and in those high pressure. MOMENTS i
think that's when everything is elevated a little. Bit and you,
know obviously everybody wants to pitch when you're. Winning So
i'm just, glad GLAD i get to do.

Speaker 1 (02:16:54):
It Brian king with us here On Sports talk seven
Ninety astros. Reliever, uh can you playing the difference for
us lay? People you throw a? Sweeper, well of course
for years have been called a. Slider to you is
do you call it a? Sweeper and what exactly is the.

Speaker 3 (02:17:10):
DIFFERENCE i kind of go back and.

Speaker 4 (02:17:13):
FORTH i always call it a slider just because that's
HOW i think of. IT i mean, it technically it
is a. SWEEPER i think typically most people think of
the slider is a little more depth and a sweeper
is more lateral. Movement but you, know they're kind of
the same thing to.

Speaker 1 (02:17:32):
Me as long as you get it, with you don't
care what it's, called right exactly. Exactly let me ask you, This,
brian get four lefties in a. Bullpen there are some
major league, teams and The astros are being one of.
Them if you were a history fan of all of
this organization that sometimes didn't carry any is a little
bizarre seeing so Many South pauls in one group like.

Speaker 4 (02:17:51):
That oh, yeah we always kind of joke about. IT
i think somebody looked it up and we've got ten
percent of the lefties in the league and our.

Speaker 3 (02:17:58):
Bullpen you guys.

Speaker 1 (02:17:59):
Form a, Gang like what are y'all doing? Here y'all
like like trying to group up against the righties or?

Speaker 4 (02:18:04):
What, no not, necessarily we definitely joke around a little bit.
MORE i think that's just kind of how lefties are? You,
uh you gotta roll with the punches and.

Speaker 7 (02:18:14):
Have fun to.

Speaker 1 (02:18:15):
Do everybody's got to claim a corner at the, table, though,
right so you don't bump?

Speaker 4 (02:18:18):
Elbows, YEAH i mean that's the weird part for, me
IS i do everything right.

Speaker 11 (02:18:24):
Handed oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (02:18:26):
So you right right? Handed? Yeah you golf right? Handed?

Speaker 4 (02:18:31):
Yes you?

Speaker 3 (02:18:33):
Throw what do you bat when you bat left or right?

Speaker 4 (02:18:35):
HANDED i MEAN i was bad at batting my whole,
life BUT i was always bat. RIGHTY i tried batting
left to you a couple of, times and it wasn't.
Bad it was tougher for me to recognize pitches as a,
lefty BUT i MEAN i only got a.

Speaker 1 (02:18:49):
Couple, Okay So i'm gonna tell you this right, Now,
brian And i'm fifty two years. Old so you AND
i are like blood. Brothers i'm your older brother Because
i'm the exact same. Dad shut. UP i throw EVERYTHING
i throw left. Handed everything else in my life is right.
Handed so let's go to the last comparison between the
two of. Us what do you top out on your? Fastball?

Speaker 4 (02:19:10):
Uh probably ninety, four maybe ninety five on a good.

Speaker 1 (02:19:14):
Day, yeah mine's thirty. Seven so other than, that we're
pretty much the same. Person we're at the same. Person
so how did that? Happen? Brian that's just how you've always,
been have no.

Speaker 4 (02:19:22):
Idea, YEAH i don't. Think my parents never really thought
much of. It and for whatever, REASON i started throwing
lefty and it's probably one of the best things that's ever.

Speaker 1 (02:19:32):
Happened let me tell you. Something YOU i don't know

Gone Vincent midtown before we Played believe it Or? Not High, Vince,
hey how you guys?

Speaker 4 (02:22:19):
Doing hey real?

Speaker 2 (02:22:20):
QUICK i just WANTED i was at That Mike scott
no hitter game, too and that's kind of the last minute.
Decisions where were?

Speaker 1 (02:22:25):
You we could have said a lot of each.

Speaker 2 (02:22:26):
Other ACTUALLY i was on the first base line, too pretty,
low so we probably pretty close to each. Other but,
anyway but to touch on the on.

Speaker 1 (02:22:35):
The draft, Lottery so.

Speaker 2 (02:22:37):
How come they don't show the actual deal with the
ping pong balls? ANYMORE i, mean doesn't that kind of
add transparency to the whole thing where people like me don't,
think you, know it's it's kind.

Speaker 1 (02:22:48):
Of, rigged BECAUSE i think the entire, procedure if you're
using the lottery, system doesn't it takes more than say
two or three. MINUTES i, mean you have to scramble the,
balls you have to put the combinations. TOGETHER i don't
think it's one of those things that in their mind
thinks it's VERY tv. APPETIZING i GUESS i think because
you they draw the if they did it, live the

(02:23:10):
first pick would come out, first, right that's, Correct so
that takes the drama, out so they have the they
have the, order and then they build the drama like
you know how they did with The, rocket's, like, oh
they're gonna be. Tenth oh they're, tenth and then they're,
ninth and and then you find out who's top. Four
then they take a commercial. Break it lets the drama.
Build you know who the final four teams. Are then
they order those it's so that they can add drama to.

Speaker 2 (02:23:30):
It.

Speaker 1 (02:23:30):
Uh and it is transparent in the way That ernst
And young looks at. It and then they have representatives
from every team watches the lottery, live so they all
watch it AND i imagine there's film of it somewhere
and then it's audited and all that type of, stuff
and then they put it ON tv to help build the. Drama,
okay Well i'm still.

Speaker 3 (02:23:49):
Skeptical so, anyway Well.

Speaker 1 (02:23:51):
I'm gonna tell you something right. Now Thanks vince for
the phone. CALL i know everybody's. Skeptical they're not cheating the.
System THE nba is not rigging the. System they're just
not at THE nba. Employee no, no, no, no no.
NO i, mean, look there are things about THE nba
for the.

Speaker 10 (02:24:09):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:24:09):

be some? Shifting? Oh, Absolutely rockets go back to The Eastern.

Speaker 1 (02:24:43):
Conference. No what The rockets back in The, EAST i
know are the Only if you're doing, that you only
need to take one team in These it's either going

the two teams that would be most, likely and Maybe
New orleans would be in The mason, Too BUT i
