Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
One h Town. Good morning, and welcome to a Monday
edisue on the mat Tommy's Show with Ross here on
Sports Talk seven ninety. We are very happy to have
you with us today and we are here until two
o'clock this afternoon. I don't hear anything, so I just
want to make sure we're on the air. Are we
on the air? Hello, Tasting Tasting on? Okay? Well, you

(00:21):
don't have your headphones on that I know, but that's
why we've got some radio studios. We've got some glitches
here in the studio. At this point, it should come
a zero surprise anybody working for this company. That's a
different issue for a different time. Ross. Somebody's got a
case of the mondays. No, I'm actually not you. I'm
our computer and our engineering so and it's fine and

(00:42):
we we try her. I mean, we are in one
of the largest markets in the country and we have
Nicolo issues every day. But that's okay, Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I hope you guys are a good weekend. I did.
I will be happy, thank you very much. The fathers
out there. I happened to look on Facebook yesterday and
a lot of people put pictures of their and photos
and whatnot said I got the best dad and he's
the greatest and there's no one else like him. I
got a little breaking news for all y'all. I'm the
greatest dad. That's not what I heard. Actually, multiple sources,

(01:14):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm let me
tell you something. Multiple sources are now good. No no, no,
no no. Peyton Thomas for sure could say I was
the greatest act. We had a great time in Las
Vegas this past weekend. Cameron Thomas, for numerous reasons, can
say it. And so for that matter, Carly. So I'm
gonna go ahead and declare all of you on Facebook
that you said you have the greatest dad. That's just

(01:35):
not true. I'm the greatest dad. Now, if you want
to go to your Facebook page and say, hey, I've
had a chance to kind of survey the territory, Matt,
you are the greatest dad. I'll accept that. Hit alike
on that. Okay. It's good to learn you've those days
off that you had, you learned some humility. I have ROSSI.

(01:56):
I heard you had a great caller to the show
on Friday. Yes I did. Ah, you're talking about the
young lad J Yeah, Jay ten years old, ten years old,
Now a couple of questions. Was dad feeding him material
or is it organic? See, I'm glad you said that
because some people were like, why didn't you Why didn't
you answer his question about that in the beginning of
the call and all this other stuff, And I'm like,

(02:17):
I'd be for the exact reason you said, Matt, because
we always get kids who call the show, and you
can always kind of maybe hear somebody in the background
feeding somebody material. So I wanted him to keep talking
so if I could hear his parents, because he started
off his call saying I got three things. I was like, okay,
what's the other thing? What's the other thing? I was
trying to keep him talking to see if it was
really Jay, and he was saying stuff off top of

(02:38):
his head, talking about Cam Smith not going to spring training.
I was I brought up Charlie Morton and immediately like, HE'SAI.
He's still pitching, he's with the Orioles. Liked old J
That's impressive. Yes, So you couldn't hear the dad in
the background. No, okay, it was all Jay. I think, Well,
I don't know if you all know this or not.
But we don't have any backups here, so Ross the
next time you want to get a day off or whatever.

(02:59):
Oh yeah, me and Ja can do the show. Actually,
multiple people already said that Jay's taking your job the
second he's eligible for work. Yeah, well he's ten, so
I think, what's the youngest you can work in Texas?
Fifteen six? So you can work like provisionally fifteen, but
normally it'd be sixteen year contract negotiations. So I got
six years to get this show back in order or

(03:19):
I'm losing the spot to Jay something like that. Okay,
I got you. But yeah, great call on that. You
give away a lazy Boy you sofa, well a five
hundred dollars gift, give cards, great weekend sale Matt with
the Lazy Boy furniture galleries. I'm sure you heard about it.
I think I just got a repeat of it right now.
Thank you for that. You're welcome, by the way, real quick,

(03:42):
my Vegas weekend man low spectacular, of course, I mean unbelievable.
Uh carrot Top ridiculously funny, ridiculously raunchy, ridiculously funny. Yeah,
oh you are crying laughing at the table. The carrot
Tops still laughing, okay, and again and you how about
do you and the other seventeen other people in the theater. No,
it was actually pretty fold out. It was also fifty

(04:04):
one degrees in the theater. I don't have comics like
it cold. Probably not. I was shivering how cold it was.
Maybe he's a heavy sweater, so he tells him to
crank it down. I don't know what it was, but
it was awful, how cold it was. That was the
biggest downfall? Was it thea he was at El Cortez? Correct, No,
he was not with the Luxor. I Luxor is not bad.

(04:24):
You know what people rip on the Luxor. I looked
at the rooms and what they didn't look bad at all,
and it's a really good spot. Vacant on the strip wise, No,
it's for it's way down there, Luxor. I think it's
a little too at our south. You could go to
Mandala Bay if you wanted to exactly Mandy Band MGM
or down there. But that's about it. Yeah, it's not
more smack midstrip like I don't know Harris Caesar's Belagio.

(04:45):
I didn't I say downtown, Oh yeah, I love downtown
And did not have any issues with anybody playing blackjack,
because here's the thing. I was way more proactive than
I normally was. Are you serious? Did you hand out this?
Did you hand up the strategy cards? Like I I
told you, I verbally helped people out. My gosh, So
I probably played I don't know, six seven eight hours

(05:07):
of game of blackjack while I was there, and I
did not throw a hit my hand on the ground,
or yell or passively aggressive cuss somebody out. There was
a couple of people that hit some bad hands, but
they want to put in the hands, so I just
kept quiet. But they were when they went against the odds.
But generally speaking, it was a really good time. Good
stop looking at the mat.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Just stop.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I can't because if they're striking my car playing no,
they're not just as likely to help his hurt. We've
been over this, I don't think so I'm not sad
they played it wrong and it was fine, But that
was one time out of one hundred. Oh okay, I'm
gonna start logging this. My my son painted, my middle
one who's twenty two, played blackjack for the first time.
Oh really, we went you like it? He was okay,

(05:48):
very first hand, he got was a blackjack, So that
was very very good one on that. It's nice you're
playing three to two, right, No, we were playing six
or five. But they give you a bonus spin wheel
which just gives you spec money. So I and say
it evens out. It always helps the house. But it
wasn't as bad as it could have been. Uh. And
the one thing I will notice too, and last before
we get to the Astros, and boy, they had a
great weekend. Uh. And by the way, I did castion

(06:10):
in beautifully on Friday on the Astros, a rather large
wager on the over eight and a half and it
was done by I think the fourth inning. I hit
that number. So I was very pleased about that. Oh
on Friday. Yeah, okay, Uh. The number of women in
full sleeve tattoos. I'm not kidding you on this. Not
if it's because it's downtown down The answer is it's downtown.

(06:34):
That's fine, fine, Okay, women I saw which I which
is the highest number I've ever seen in one area.
I mean not just the little hard tattoo that you
get because your best friend got it, or maybe a
little butterfly. I'm talking about full sleeve tattoos. I know
that was interesting that the tattoo world has gotten so

(06:57):
popular that women are not first of all getting them
as much as they are, but secondly for as they're
going from shoulder down to the wrist. Hmm, that's all
I got. Yeah, that's pricey. I don't know what tattoos
cost hundreds and thousands of dollars depending, but I mean
it was just it was like my paint and I
were like, we're let's go look at twenty women. Boom boom,

(07:18):
boom boom, and probably at least eight or nine of
them had full sleeve tattoos. Mhm. Google says fifty dollars
an hour, one hundred and fifty dollars an hour. Full
sleeve in Houston can range from fifteen hundred to six thousand,
depending on the art. So I'm assuming, well, game, grand
nobody's getting these tattoos in Vegas. They're only going they're
probably bringing them in so some of them are. Yeah,

(07:38):
So that's it. On That was that was the weekend.
Thank you. When you get in your full sleeve, that'll
be never thirty First, what are you gonna get? I'm
getting zero. It's gonna be like six pictures of yourself.
That's what i'd figure very stages of your cars. One
of the roodest things you ever said to me, is it? Yeah?
I mean I have mirrors in my office better than that,
I kid, I kid, all right, So the local nine, Yeah,

(08:05):
how are they doing it? Matt Well? Your tweet on
Saturday was absolutely hysterical. I don't think you intended to
do me.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
No.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
It was one of those weirdest things where like, I'm like,
why is this going viral? Why is it? Must it
ended up in the for utab somehow that's the only explanation,
so go ahead. Uh you said, how are the astros
forty and thirty? It was the most innocuous There were
something it's funny because clutch hitting bullpen. Uh, you know,
starting pitching has been good, good defense, And those are

(08:32):
all logical answers to that question. The funniest ones to
me were because they've played seventy times and they've scored
more runs forty times on their opponents. I mean it
was a chuckle the first time, but then the seventy fifty, Yeah,
it was less funny. Numerous people doing it. Uh yeah,
So I tweeted that how in the world are the
Astros forty and thirty. I did that on Saturday, and
I don't know, somehow it got seventeen hundred likes. It

(08:55):
was just most random, ridiculous. No, It's funny because when
Forrest Whitley got traded to the the weekend, I had
a bunch of people. I put my obligatory what was
your favorite Forest Whitley as an aster a moment, and
I had the normal people that were following me, but
I had a lot of people who don't follow me
that were sending me responses. So that said, my my
tweet got tab. I was just wondering which of your

(09:18):
tweets ended up in the for you tab that that
was the one for week because I was like, who
are these people? And I don't know who they were.
They said they were Astra fans. I don't know if
they were crypto bots or whatever the case would be,
but they were talking about when he got traded or
when he was healthy. For that one time when he
got busted for drugs and got a fifty game suspension,
that was my favorite moment. Now, my favorite moment was
when he would always come in a camp, either losing

(09:38):
weight or gaining weight and it was like a woman
because he couldn't keep his wake fluctuating. You know, women
fluctuate with their weights. Wo, men do that too, Luther
Vandross name on me. You know your ways would pretty
consistent fluctuating sometimes. Oh I've lost. I mean I've a
couple of times I've lost, like thirty five the forty

(10:00):
pounds and then gained it all back. He's talking about
twenty eleven when we first met. That's not accurate even steady. Okay,
Like we have a friend of ours, we work now
in two thousand, what's today twenty twenty, and it doesn't matter.
I don't want to talk about it. You're just wrong. Okay,
Well that's fine. Uh but men should not talk about weight.
Why not? Because we fluctuate more than women do. I

(10:24):
think we do. It depends how do we get on
to Wait, I don't know about Forest Whitley. Yeah, so
he's now anything goes Monday. It's now he's a Tampa
Bay Ray and good for him. Yes, and again, the
Astro spent first round money on him, but they didn't
have to spend a month money a lot of money
after that because he didn't have much of a Major
league tenure. Hm, it was like three million dollars. He

(10:46):
got out a first round deal, which you know, the
first round pick sometimes don't pan out a matter of fact,
a lot of them don't pan out. Yeah, But I
mean he was the best pitching prospect in baseball for
a little while there until interest spend it and her
Tommy Johns, Oh he had. If there was something that
that Forest Whitley had wrong ankle injury, he got it.

(11:06):
And then when he had his opportunity this year, it
went very good. So now he's a Tampa Bay Ray.
Now if he goes to Durham, he's gonna be like
he might be an eligible for the Minor League Hall
of Fame. They are out of uh, he is still
out of options, yeah, with the trade, so they have
to keep him up in the major league level, and
my guess there he'll love a spot there at least
to figure out one way or the other. Yeah. But

(11:27):
the Astros got a nice win again yesterday, come from
behind fashion and game that I thought, frankly for a
while had a no no feel to it. Unfortunately for
the Astros, it couldn't get much going offensively, but the
Astros did win. They swept the Twins. Now, I know
Carlo's Korea is obviously feeling very good about his checkbook,
right mm hm, But is he got to be thinking
what am I doing here? I'm in Minnesota. We're not

(11:50):
going to win. Our team is up for sale. We
don't spend a lot of money. Now, granted I've got
a lot of money, but I'm never gonna I'm never
gonna win a World Series again. As long as Carl
Korea as in Minnesota, He's never going to win a
World Series. They won a World Series in Minneapolis, and
I know this guy used to live there since nineteen
ninety one. Ross they have like no playoff wins in

(12:11):
twenty years, much less World Series. Well, like you said,
he's got paid, he didn't. This is not what he
expected when he wanted to bet on himself, not take
a deal from the Astros and hit free agency. He
thought he was gonna hit New York and become a
huge superstar. Yeah, instead he's in Minneapolis, in Minneapolis, eating

(12:32):
Juicy Lucy's the Burgers. For those of you that does,
we should we should probably clarify that a little bit.
What were you talking about? I was talking about the Burgers.
Well you didn't say that though. If the average person's
listening to the show right now going eating juicy Lucy's,
he didn't know who that that is. I think most
people could figure it out. Look at Jonathan shaking his head,

(12:54):
He's like, I don't even know what those are? Do
you know what Juy Lucie talked about it? I thought
with him, no, it could have been another producer. Ya
know what if I say, let's go get a Juicy Lucy,
you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm thinking of
Matt with thing about I don't know what you're taking.
What was man thinking about? Jonathan? Let's get a break
on that note you take a short time out on
the program. Ten fourteen is every time you'd like to

Also on the show Today, the Endless, Kevin Durant rumors
non stop. Everybody's got their idea and I got some
news for you. There's only one person we should follow

(13:38):
when it comes to Kevin Durant rumors peering into story.
It's not even me seven one three two one. You
should follow me for just general hilarity on Twitter seven

you here on this Monday Riz Outsider at sixty four

(14:00):
Matt starting around on his new T shirt on Father's Day.
This is number one Dad. I'm just telling you guys
are lying on Facebook. That's all I'm saying. Matt.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
You are.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
You are a great father, great loving, caring father to
your children. There you go, I got you. Hey, congratulations
to the Astros.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Again.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
We'll get to some NBA stuff because there's been again
the endless rumors about Kevin Durant are funny. But again
your local nine Christian Walker's having a jose of bray
you type here, it's getting really close. I still don't
want to use that word. Someone pulling out to me yesterday.

(14:41):
They didn't use them as a pinch hitter in the
ninth inning? Did they not? Correct? In an off Dake correct?
That's good, clear his head. Get carotene in there. So
you're gonna use Keratini over Walker in a chance to
win a ballgame. Mm hmm. Who's been hitting better than
just let that sink in for just a minute. You

(15:03):
give him a full day off. The clearest head Matt, Okay,
i'd be good for Joe Ascota. I mean, hey, they
won the game, didn't they. I'm just yeah, but I'm
just telling you that should put to perspective how bad
it be. And it's too bad because I do like
Christian Walker a lot, and hopefully he'll bang a bunch
of home runs out of the I don't even know
the name of the ballpark is a Sacramento by the way,

(15:24):
Today's edition. To believe when I was all things about Sacramento,
really yeah, okay, sure, why not because it's the Oquamento
A's against the Astros. I'm gonna stick with Sacramento because
they're trying to run away from using the name like
they're not there. It's ridiculous. Yeah, and you know who
doesn't care about that? Sacramento didn't care. That's rude. At
least like a seventy five hundred of them care, That's true,

(15:46):
they didn't. They don't. They don't even fill up their stadium.
I wonder what the average attendance is. I will have
to look. But that's uh yeah, so all right, So
let's you got Christian Walker having unfortunately Jose Aburu type numbers.
All right, you've lost sixty of your rotation. You got
guys going every other day you've never heard of before

(16:07):
in your entire life in that starting lineup or the
at least the rotation. Huh uh. Brendan Rodgers, your free
agent infield acquisition, has done nothing offensively kind of basically
what he did in the last couple of years. Yes,
let's see what else has been down years generally speaking
for yarn airdas Yeah, he was bouncing back for a

(16:27):
little bit, yep, and then over for yesterday, only two
hits over the weekend, batting average up to forty three.
That's gonna get better, though, He's gonna be fine. I
did have him as my sneaky home run leader for
the aster. Oh well, he's got nine. I think Paratus
is leading with fifteen. Yeah, so I got a chance.

(16:49):
And if Paridis misses some more time more Parades is out. Yes,
Jordon Alvarez is out. John Jacob Melton is out. Yes,
although that's been he's been quite injured a lot the
last couple of years. Yes, I don't even say it.
I'm not are you kidding reacting? I hardly know Chicken Mount.

(17:11):
I'm not putting that on the tag on him just yet.
But you are having career years for uh Jeremy Payna, Yes,
Joseh Meyers, Jake Myers, jose L Tubay has bounced back
after a really sluggish start of the year. His base
running remains the most aggravating thing I've ever seen in
my life. Affling Guy's been the major leagues what fifteen years,

(17:34):
and he still can't run the base. Yeah. He should
be passing Jeff Bagwell in the all time Astros hitlers
very soon. Yeah. And we should still keep three thousand alive. Yes,
we should as long as he's healthy. He's got a shot. Yeah, yeah,
all that we just said. And your squad is four
and a half games in front of the Seattle Mariners

(17:56):
in the American League West forty one and thirty. They've
won five in a row, eight of ten. Fire Joe's
spot of Guy is going for it right now. I
am ridiculously happy, me too. Now necessary now the fire
Joe as spot of phone calls are fun and the
fire of the pitching coach is fun calls, and you

(18:18):
and the fire and the hitting coaches fun calls, and
they have to you missidentify who they are, and we
kind of have fun with that. But when things are winning,
you and I are talking to ourselves because we know
a lot of people calling in saying, oh, that's true,
this has to go. This has to go. A fewer
astros calls, and when they're winning, then when they're losing,
that's just the nature of the game until apathy sets in,
like in twenty twelve. It's like, for instance, when you

(18:39):
have a great meal, you don't run to your eye
your Twitter account and talk about, oh, this stake at
Smarten's was amazing. Yes, when the airline you go there
and the flights on time and they even get you
there like fifteen minutes early. Whenever services perfect go to
your social media. Nobody goes to social media. Nobody goes
to Yelp or Google reviews ending to go out there.

(19:00):
That's just the nature of the game. It's human nature,
and that's fine. By the way, I have a I
believe Gordy may be lying to us about something. It's
it to tell the truth. For Chris Gordy, I think
he's gonna have to tell the truth. Okay, And I'm
going to read you the tweet coming up at ten
fifty because that's normally his spot. But he's probably sleeping

(19:21):
right now. You are one of a kind. But I
think he's lying to us about something. What reason does
he have to lie? Because what he said on his
Twitter account this morning is against the law. Okay, And
we'll discuss at ten fifty with him. No, No, he's sleeping.

(19:42):
He slept in the car. Is he Where is he
flying to or back? He slept in the Corpus Christie
Airport this last night. It's a three and a half
hour drive. What are you doing flying down there? No?
He he was coming from Napa. They diverted the plane
to Corpus I got, Yeah, they were in one country
this week. Yeah, beautiful out there. I've never been. Oh, well,
you don't like want No, it's never mind. But I'm

(20:03):
sure and still I'm sure it's beauty. Monor rare here.
We'll get send you at the Sex on the Beach
Country and you can go out there. That's your favorite cocktail.
I wasn't Sex in the Beach Country. I was called
Las Vegas. Nevada, Lemon Drop Country. You don't want to
be in sand there no seven one three two one
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two
five seven ninety. What is wrong with you? Maybe I'm

(20:26):
back here today and this is on the grief I'm getting.
Just because I'm the number one dad this weekend doesn't
mean that number one dad, that's pressure to you. I
am a little tired. I fell asleep like at six
six o'clock on accident on Sunday, so then I was
up all night and then I didn't get great sleep.
That's my best. Like I'm a little loopy. Seven one
three two one two five seven ninety. The endless rumors

(20:46):
about an NBA star. We'll discuss that next on seven ninety.
There are a lot of things I'm obsessed with. Let
me start and you can add some more. I'm obsessed
with standings in basketball and in baseball. Yes, I am
obsessed with trade rumors. Yes, I am obsessed with gate keeping.

(21:11):
Who and who is not Houston media. I'm trying to
be better about that. That's good because I'm losing that bat.
Some of the teams in this town will let anybody
and their mother have credentials and they're not qualified. But
I'm trying to be better about it. Okay, I don't
think it's working because you're proud of me. I'm obsessed

(21:32):
with Lauren she Hotty. Oh man, what I mean? Just
what a what a goddess focus? I'm gonna I'm gonna
stop turning on No, no, no, I insist on the
MLB network being on. Yeah, but then if I put
on first take, You're go, look at Molly Karen. What
can I put on? I'm putting on Nature Programs, Discovery

(21:55):
Channel or something, and then somehow a tree stumps gonna
get your fixate on me? What? I'm obsessed with good
blackjack playing, and I'm obsessed with the in and out burger?

Speaker 3 (22:06):
All right?

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Oh did you have one in Vegas?

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Okay, what about fatburger? Have you ever had that?

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Well?

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I heard you, I saw you post you had the
heart attack? Grill? I did? How was that? Mid? Oh? Disappointing?
Just way more fluffed. The basic burger was sizzled in
stick is chili, red onion, cheddar cheese, and the bun

(22:31):
and it was five was great, but it was just
you had to put a gurney on and the girls
are hot. I get that. And if you don't eat it,
they spank you. And I was thinking about that, you
got spanked, No, I eat it. I would have thought
you'd have left one bite. You think I want to
be spanked by attractive redheads in Las Vegas, Nevada. I
didn't say that, you did, okay? Seven one three two?

(22:52):
What he's right? Net down seven one three two one
two five seven out? Okay. So I'm obsessed with these
NBA trade rumors about and duran Obviously, I think the
consensus is it's come down to about three teams, although
everybody and their mother's trying to add teams to this mix. Yes,
and I think a lot of it is because it's fluid,
because and I think the reason why you're hearing other

(23:14):
teams being added the mix is because what Brian Winhorse
is about to tell us here when he said this
morning on ESPN, and we'll have Jonathan play it for
you right now.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
What I understand, the three teams on Durant's list, Miami,
San Antonio and Houston have not made offers that have
gotten Phoenix excited to this point.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
To this point is very important.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Minnesota was aggressive at mid season, and Minnesota, from what
I understand, has been the most aggressive team in these
trade talks. I do think Toronto is lurking out there.
Toronto is making the number nine pick in this draft,
in addition to some players available in multiple different scenarios,
and I think the LA Clippers are lurking out there
as well. But I would say right now, if I
had to put a favorite, I definitely think Minnesota is

(23:53):
the team that's been most aggressive.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Hmm, but not on his list. No, Miami, Houston, San
Antonio on the list. Now you're saying, well, who cares
what the list is because Kevin Durant doesn't have a
no trade clause. Kevin Durant has basically said I'm going
to only sign extensions with three teams. Yes, that's his leverage,

(24:15):
and his leverage is that. And he has said that
the Rockets, the Spurs, and the Heat Heat makes no
sense except for maybe the path the Eastern Conference championship
significantly easier out there than it would be in the West.
And that's actually true. I mean, clearly we're not being
talking out of school here by saying the Houston Rockets
would like to have Kevin Durant. I mean, it's it's

(24:36):
painfully obvious they would, but they're keeping things close to
the vest. They do not want to mortgage this young nucleus.
I do believe em don't would like to have a
veteran scorer that has been there and done that, a
go to guy, a go to guy. But rafel Stone
to be the cross checker, and every organization has a
cross checker. Between a coach and a general manager says, yeah, coach,

(25:01):
I know you want Kevin Durant. I know that Kevin
Durant had spoken very highly about being a Houston Rocket
or not, but he's spoken very highly about the Rockets
as an organization. But we've got this capital, and we
have this flexibility, and we've got some other guys we've
got to figure out signing wise. We can't mortgage the
future on a guy that's gonna be thirty seven coming

(25:21):
up this season. So I think that that's the internal
conversation probably happening within Rocketville is yes, Durant has showed
interest and a play, and so if you're a coach,
thinking about if you're the if you're if I'm the
coach and I go to you general manager, Ross and say, hey,
Kevin Durant wakes up in the morning with twenty five
points and he brings to the arena every single night.

(25:44):
I can't say that about other players on my team.
Kevin Durant walks into the building and scores twenty five.
You come back to me and said, that's great, But
I have to think about everything, the entire roster, the salary,
the luxury tax, the aprons, the future, the draft picks.
You don't worry about that. So I think this is
what my guess is they're debating about, is at what

(26:07):
point does what they offer Phoenix. Does the light bulb
go off in Phoenix and say, hey, that's the best
we can get. And I think if you're Phoenix, you're
gonna wait till somebody budgets and somebody says, okay, I'll
add this. My guess is the number ten pick is
obviously something that the Sons would like to get back.
My guess is they want to get somebody that at

(26:30):
least starts for the Rockets, whether it's Jalen Green, Jabari Smith,
Auburn Shingoon, and then probably after that Ross, you're talking
about lots more of unprotected picks. Coming up in the
next couple of years would be my guess. Yeah. And
also in any trade, you're probably gonna overrate the asset
you have in terms of the market. When you talk
about what you said with he makes a lot of money.

(26:51):
He's going to be thirty seven when the next season starts.
You have no guarantee if you're the of the Rockets.
You're trading for Kevin Durant, not for the eighty two
regulars game regular season, You're trading for him to be
ready for the playoffs, and you have no guarantee of that.
So it it'll be interesting to see where it goes
from here and how how much of a deadline or

(27:11):
how pressing it is for them to get something done
before the draft, because the draft is next Wednesday, so
we're like ten days away from Oh, he's being trained
before the deadline. I am no issue. The draft is
the deadline for the Yes, Yes, the deadline is the
draft night. Yeah, because if you're Phoenix, don't you want
if you're going to get a top ten, which you
would think you'd get out of this that they probably

(27:33):
want top five. They want top five. Well, does san
Antonio dangle that number two? Pick out to them. Is
Kevin Durant worth a number two pick in the draft?
And this, if you're a team trading for Kevin Durant,
do you even want him to sign with you? How
much leverage is that? Anyways? We're talking about if you're
San Antonio, do you say, hey, yeah, we want Kevin

(27:53):
Durant and we want to sign him to fifty million
dollars a year into to the age of forty and
huge dollars at yeah, fifty plus million a year. I mean,
the money that I'm seeing is absurd. Granted you if
he's now again, Kevin Durant is one of the greatest
players in the history of the NBA. Lebron has slowed down,
but Lebron is still a very much an impactful NBA player.

(28:16):
Kevin Durant has slowed down a little bit, but he's
still very much an impactful player. This is wish. I mean,
I know ages is obviously a huge issue, but if
you're still scoring twenty five points a game and still
grabbing eleven rebounds and dishing out four or five assists,
are you worried about the age? I don't know. I'm
worried about the injury and I saw him get hurt

(28:38):
against the rockets close up the ear in Phoenix, Like, yeah,
the age and injury. I mean it's tied together. They are.
They are, so I just what let me tell you,
I'd be beyond excited if Kevin Durant was a Houston Rocket,
he would it would it would give an extra energy
boost to this community. I mean Russell Watsbrook when he
was a rocket, huge energy boost, Chris Paul, huge energy

(28:59):
boost by Grant. And you're also talking about those guys
that were not thirty seven years old when these trades
were being made. So I'm I don't mean to like
I can't come to you and go this has to happen,
because I am worried about the age, like anybody would
be in part of this trade and be I'm also
worried about if you're competing with two other teams and

(29:21):
his windhorse brought up maybe Toronto, maybe the Clippers, maybe Miami. Maybe.
I mean, if you're battling four or five teams, is
somebody I mean, could Toronto be like, hey, we're in
the East, we need something here. Let's go Let's let's
be that difference maker. Because Boston's not gonna be you know,
maybe Jalen Brown gets moved. You already know that Jason
Tatum is basically done for next season. Milwaukee Giannis's future,

(29:45):
I mean, the East is a hot mess of uncertainty
at this point. Kevin Durant could be that missing piece.
But if Kevin Durant only says I'm going to Toronto for
one year, they've already been bitten by that a couple
of times. I mean, Kawhi Leonard went there and stead
this is cool and everything, but I'm getting out of here. Yeah.
And also an X factor in this is the market

(30:06):
being set with the Desmond ban not necessarily market being set,
but with the Desmond Bine trade costing you four first rounders.
If you're the Orlando magic that makes the Phoenix Suns
feel like whatever deals they're getting offered probably aren't up
to part. It's almost like I wish that the Phoenix
Suns didn't know about that trade because now they're like, well,
it doesn't make it do this, and Desmond's good, but

(30:28):
they ain't. Kevin Durant ten forty three On The Matt
Thomas Show, Gordy is sending us endless text about his
flights yesterday. Okay, and uh, I'm gonna need a ruling
off of his tweet. Okay, you know what my name is,
Paul is between y'all. I'm staying out of this. No,
you're not. You want to call the man a liar.
I'm gonna let you do that. You wanted the name

(30:49):
with Ross on the show, You're gonna get it on
the show. Doesn't mean I have to be attached. Yes,
accusations a fellow coworkers and liars. I'm gonna present all.
I'm gonna present all the evidence because he's sending us text. Yes, okay,
so the text might be able to balance what he
said on Twitter yesterday. Okay, we'll discuss seven one three, two,

(31:10):
one two, five, seven nine. If you want to jump
in your Stros have won five consecutive games. They're playing
the Oakland Op. Excuse me, they're playing the sacopone. Oh
I'm sorry, they're playing Las Vegas. They're playing the Athletics
four game series. I'll have the on deck showed at
eight thirty o'clock to ut Yes, I will. Wow. Look
at this guy, Maddie after dark. It's funny. Uh, Clinton,

(31:31):
Wexer won't have any of those on deck shows that
they're busy.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
No they're not.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Oh, Clinton goes to Clinton goes to Metallica concerts and
wex tweets out us open information. I have a question, yes,
and I'm not really trying to crush clan. I'm just
asking what is the most amount of times you can
see and act? And I guess you just never get
tired of it? Some people a key scene now four times.
I guess this is also a question for Brian's asking

(31:57):
a wrong person because you've how many times you've seenry
Manilo four or five? Okay, and his bit hasn't changed.
I've seen McCartney four times. You said you're done with
that though, I'm done because of the prices, correct, and
he was kind of lacking energy on the stage, but
he's I mean, if somebody offered me tickets, I'd probably go.
We wouldn't pay for it, URR, probably because you were

(32:19):
at the Dickey's arena and your covers alls and you
paid it was a high price. It's the worst season
I've ever set in a counter my entire life. May
he rest in peace, ken Hoff. I got us terrible tickets, terrible, terrible,
terrible tickets at high five hundred bucks. It was got
us all. That's what he said. I can't do this anymore.
I can't do this anymore. But by the way, for
those that rip on my music, I looked. I looked

(32:40):
at all the ages of Metallica. They're all in their sixties.
So this whole thing of well Matt, you only go
see old performers. Every one of the of the Metallica
people were sixty plus. Well, I hold Verdy Manilo eighty
eighty two this week, Happy birthday to Barry and Stick's
guys rolling their sixties and seventies. They didn't fall apart

(33:01):
or anything, right, That's all right. Now we've got more
on the astros, more on the Kevin Durant stuff. To
tell the truth come up at eleven thirty year phone
calls as well, coming up all between now and two
o'clock this afternoon. Believe in all things about Sacramento, California,
wonderful as the astros and ASLs start a series tonight

(33:21):
seven one three two one two five seven ninety if
you will like to join us seven one three two
one two five seveny so our friend Gordy normally joins
us ten to fifty on Mondays and he will not
be with us today because he just landed in from
Corpus Christie. He was in the he was in the
Wine Country this weekend. And I mean all of us
that we're here in town. Yes, I know, there was terrible,
terrible rain in the area long and it forced delays, cancelations, uh,

(33:46):
and rerouting. It was bad storms. I think reports of
some winds of up to fifty miles per hour. So yeah,
and this is this is north side, mean all parts, everywhere,
everywhere was bad. Uh. So he tweets this more when
I woke up, and I want to make sure I
get this tweet right. Let's see here he's at at

(34:07):
Chris Cory. It's not a great follow, It's just I
follow because he's really coworker. At the moment he leaves
to go somewhere else. On SEC talk, oh my god,
it's just too much. It's just it's just an abundance
of SEC breakdown. So he says, I'd like to thank
Dark Breast Airlines for six hours of making You said, oh,
are you saying that or he said that No, he
said south Okay, he said southwest, but I'm going Dark breast. Okay,

(34:30):
I was so confused. Thank you would like to thank
Southwest Airlines. It didn't even he didn't go as solid West,
so he didn't want him to see it. Why didn't
he ad him? Okay, stay with me on this. Okay,
would like to thank Southwest Airlines for six hours of
making us sit on the tarmac and Corpus Christie and
then the chance to spend the night at the airport
at Corpus Christie, which resulted in zero hours asleep, all

(34:52):
because Houston had a little rain last night. Well that's
not what we had. We had a lot of rain. Okay,
we had a lot, a lot, a lot of run.
So he's again he's grouchy. Yes, we've all been grouchy
on planes before. So that the last sentence was the
initial part of okay, you're not telling the complete truth.

(35:16):
His first sentence got me thinking, okay, Matt, he says
that they sat on the tarmac in Corpus Chricci for
six hours, which made me think, how long legally can
someone be on a tarmac. I went and looked it up.
You can be on the tarmac for only three hours.

(35:39):
If it's an international flight, you can be on the
tarmac for four hours. And that's where I think the
lie is in play. Okay, Now, what he didn't say
was we got on the plane, sat on the tarmac
for three sent us back to the terminal, got back

(35:59):
in the plane for three hours. That could be six
You could do it that way for six hours, but
you cannot consecutively sit on a plane for six hours.
It is illegal. It is against. It is against the
law to do that to a passenger. So he then
follows up with some text this morning, he says, worst
travel experience ever. He says, the flood attendants were telling

(36:21):
us some of the other grounded planes had fights, some
people ripped out the oxygen mask, one guy had a
heart attack, and a woman went into labor and they
wouldn't let her off. Believe this, Oh my god. In
this investigation number one, number two, According to Google, there

(36:43):
are exceptions to the rule. Apparently, if there has been
deemed a safety or security risk, air traffic control can
advise against deplaning, and there are other plans that could
happen with lengthy tarmac to plays delays. This is according
to go number two. His lovely wife Lauren did at

(37:05):
Southwest Airlines, and she was also adding the secretary of
the Department of Transportation, and her last tweet said at
five hours, still stuck on the plane, and she put
a video up of this plane is bubbling.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
I don't know what's going on with bubbles and weird
stuff coming out of the plane. So I believe them.
I believe the Gordys. I think this is a witch
hunt by Matt Thomas. I'm telling you planes have been
diverted many a time. Why would they so you think

(37:46):
they're lying. No, I'm not saying they're not lying about
being diverted. But you can't put one hundred and sixty
people on a plane for six hours consecutively. I don't
know that. Last last Lauren said, we are now at
five hours and still stuck on the plane. Oh, we're
getting texting. Are we absolutely sure? It was six consecutive hours.

(38:14):
They had no available gates and the plane could not
pull away. Three planes were stuck for six to eight
hours on the tarmac. Okay, I will then say I
believe him, and I would if I'm Smish Morny and
his lovely wife, Lauren Morny, I would sue the Southwest
Airlines for everything they had. We're also I think getting

(38:36):
word from the Gordys no for three inches on a
good day. What was that? You were having some issues?
I don't know. I have no idea what was? Okay,
so Dark Breast Airlines you cannot divert them to Corpus

(38:58):
Christy then if there was no gate for them to then,
I mean, what else can they do? Go to the
airport a bigger one. You're telling me that Austin couldn't
handle this, San Antonio couldn't handle this. Hell, they were
flying from the west coast. They could have landed and
out passer. You're gonna tell me an airline mishandled the situation.
I don't never happen. This could permanently sour the Gordys

(39:22):
on ever going anywhere. I think it's could perfectly sour
with the Gordys on Matt Thomas for calling no, no, no,
I'm just saying that the rule is three hours, okkay.
So let me tell you this. This was I don't
know there's legal recourse. I now believe them, okay, and
I would sue that. I would sue Southwest Airlines. You
hear me, Southwest, You're gonna get Sue by the Gordys.

(39:44):
So let me tell you something, Smish morning. Do not,
under any circumstance you rhyming his name. You started it.
I didn't even do that, Chris, do not take a
five hundred dollars, don't take fifteen thousand voluchure. Yeah, you
take him for like five or six flights flight anywhere
you want to go when you want to go with
assigned seats. You know, Dark Breasts does the assigned seats

(40:07):
now apparently or something? Oh yeah, I think starting the
last a couple ago. Yeah, terrible. Which, by the way,
I'm not no free bags and assigned seats, not flying Southwest?
So what in the world is Dark Breast flying to
Corpus Christie for? You could fly to McCallan Brown's. If
there's a bunch of airports down there that have more
than one gate, that's a cool. Why don't you call

(40:29):
the CEO and figure this out? I don't know, Matt,
I should get them on the show. Explain yourself from yesterday. Okay,
So again I didn't say they were lying. I said
we had to investigate they were lying, and we have
determined through thoughtful development and research and logical thinking that
they are not lying. Okay, and congratulations because Gordy's gonna

(40:52):
get NonStop flights to Baton Rouge whenever he wants to
on Dark Breast airlines. I don't think even Dark Breast
flies a Baton Rouge. Did bat and Rouge even have
an airport? No? I don't think so. I think it's
got like one greyhound to say field. Yeah, just lying
when you want to. All right, So poor Gordy and uh,
I will tell you this. I would have lost my
mind being on a plane for that many hours. First

(41:15):
of all, you know, you know what kind of meal
service you have on Dark Breast ziloush. I've had seventeen
packets of peanuts. I'm still hungry. Damn snack makesing on't
fill the billing. No, it's not that's rough. We gotta
fix this all long weather. We gotta fix you. I
know what. But do you know what? Then don't take off?
Keep it, keep them in the Bay area. Then if
you knew that this weather didn't just pop up out
of nowhere, That's all I'm saying. All right, second hour

(41:39):
The Matt Thomas Show with raw starts in a matter
of moments. If you'd like to be a part of
our conversation to talk about your travel horror stories. But
you can't beat Gordy's seven one three two one two
five seven nightighty seven one three two one two five
seven nightty see Gordy was lying, Missus Gordy checking in
saying they were only on atiremank for five hours half hours.

(42:00):
He set six lies are told. I was just kidding,
I just kidding eleven O two Sports Talk seven ninety
This is Matt Thomas Show Ross. You upset miss Missus Gordy.
She's coming after you. Scared of more scared of Missus
Gordon than mister should be. Seven one three two one
two five seven ninety. Hey Astros one, we've had no
calls about the Astros winning? What no calls about the

(42:21):
Astros being four and a half games in front, five
game winning streak eight of ten doing with people you've
never heard of until about two months ago, or for
that matter, two weeks ago. Brandon Walter for life, Colton
Gordon for life, Josh Hater four and oh perfect in
saves Ernie under one and a half. They have forty

(42:42):
one wins. He's got eighteen saves and four wins, so
twenty two of them, over half of the wins. He's
been a fact. It's funny the dollar amount being mentioned
in Josh Hayder's contract. It's not been discussed much. One
point four or five e r A. How good has
he been he's doing in the year with Billy Wagner,
I mean great left handed relievers, yes, Hall of fame.

(43:03):
So all right, uh, here's the bit we had when
when when your local teams do well, you don't call in,
so you have to kind of accept what you do
get in from a call in. And Eric in Bay
City is one of our worst callers. Yes, Eric, he's
got a screw. He's in controlling us every time he
calls her. He's got a screw loose. Eric in Bay City,

(43:24):
Trust me, he's serious. What it's called. Okay, Eric in
Bay City or our buddy Brad. If I had them
both on the hold, you had to take them to
take one Yeah, I go to break No, that's not
an option. You must take one phone show, you must
take one phone. We'll go to Fox Sports Radio Eric

(43:45):
in Bay City on seven ninety and good morning.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
Well, I'm going to make you feel bad bad because
I'm gonna set Ross straight from seven months ago when
he said when he said, did Barry Manilow ever sing
at the Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 (43:56):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (43:56):
Ross, he opened up the Super Bowl in nineteen eighty
four with the national anthem because he's a legend.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
No, he didn't do half the halftime show. That's what
I was talking about.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Eric, Okay, No, that's you're right.

Speaker 6 (44:07):
Hey, Okay, Well, my mom ass is calling this morning
because you said, where are the Joe spot of haters?
Let's go, here's one of them. Okay, And I would
call myself a hater. I just think he should go
back to being the bench coach. I could have never
gotten rid of aj.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
How is he failing the how's he failing the Astros?

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Right now, let's just go to Saturday.

Speaker 6 (44:26):
Saturday, We've got Luis gior May gets up there and
draws a walk. Okays at the plate and he sends
gior May, who looks like he's been to every Schmoldens
morale from Atlanta, Los Angeles, uh, New York, et cetera
in between, and gets thrown out by a mile. Why
are we still in that base with two outs? We've

(44:47):
got Jiner up, We've got Altuve, put in a pinch runner,
not this guy that looks like a short order cook
running out of the back.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Of a burger king.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Because Saturday that was all right, I'll go back and
look this up.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
I worked eighth Saturday.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
Okay, Sunday Sunday.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
He really got his come up. It's because he got
his cume up. It's on Sunday because you got Jake
Myers on base and Mauricio Dubon knocking him in.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
This is not and none of this is accurate, But
go ahead.

Speaker 6 (45:20):
Mauricio Dubon had to walk off here and Jake Myers
scored the run.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
Sunday.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
No, that Sunday is correct. Saturday you're talking about.

Speaker 6 (45:28):
Saturday when Giorme got thrown out stealing in the eighth inning.
I'm talking about both games. I'm saying every single game
that I sit there and watch, I can figure out
something where it's like, look, this either shows that he
doesn't know what he's doing with Giormey's stealing, or he
hasn't known what he's doing by not playing Jake Myers
and Mauricio Dubon.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
Get thrown out stealing in Saturday.

Speaker 6 (45:52):
Yeah, he did in the eighth inning. No, I don't
know how you missed that. He looked like a sea
lion at Sea World, sliding across the dirt.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
He got thrown out by a mile.

Speaker 1 (46:04):
M uh No, that didn't happen.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
I must be going crazy. I'm telling you did right
here in the living room.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
Sure, okay, let's see eighth inning. Bottom of the eighth inning,
or May hit for Rogers he walked. There was already
one out from Cooper Humble striking out swinging. Jeremy Paniel
lined out to shortstop. And then your Diaz struck out swinging.

Speaker 6 (46:30):
No, that the the They threw him out at second base.
He attempted to steal, and they threw him.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
Out by a mile.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
No, that didn't happen.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Okay, well I disagree, he disagree.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
I have the Saturday play by Plat up right now.

Speaker 6 (46:49):
That's the game right here in my living room.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
And all right, all right, you know what I'm gonna
be the tiebreaker on this. Here it is bottom of
the eighth Humble hit for Duban Humble struck out swinging, Yes,
youor May hit for Rogers. Gor May walked. Paina lined
out to shortstop. That would be out Number two DZ

(47:12):
struck out swinging out number three.

Speaker 6 (47:16):
On the swing though they threw it down the second
and they.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
You're a complete dumb ass one. No, no, he's right.
Actually the Gurmy went, but it was already was the
inding was already was over, but you.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
Didn't know that when the pitch was being made.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
So something that didn't happen. You want Joe a spot
of fired.

Speaker 3 (47:37):
Over, absolutely, and it was probably probably.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Hit and run situation. Wouldn't you think that?

Speaker 6 (47:44):
Y'all are the ones sitting here talking about one the
thirty seven year old basketball player called me the dumb ass.
When you don't want a forty year old pitcher, you
guys are ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
You're a dumb ass. Come by. I remember now it
was it was a It would have been a striking
out thrown out if there was an extra out. But
I imagine I'm guessing your may so probably let up a
little bit knowing that it's swinging a miss, correct. I
mean I I better struck out when Gyurmy did go,
and he would have been thrown out compare in the competitives. Now, yeah,

(48:14):
you know what, I apologize for that segment. That's that's
we shouldn't take an error that's a byproduct of us
not having callers that call and congratulate the ass were
playing well. So frankly, it's y'all's fault. M what's the
kid saying the call? Friday?

Speaker 7 (48:28):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Jay? Now? So we need more Jays? Yes, and if
you're if you're a smart baseball fan and would like
to call the show, you're more than welcome to do so.

Speaker 8 (48:39):
M H.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
If not, we get more of Eric in Bay City,
who sniff and glue way too many times. I don't
he's not very bright. I mean, look, I'm not very
bright either. I can call myself a dumbass all the time.
And we don't even know that Joe a Spot has
sent Luis Gyurmy in that situation. Yeah, could have been Gurmy,
could have gone on his own. It might have been

(49:00):
a hit and run situation because has did swing at
the pitch. I don't know much about your your ma,
but I'm gonna guess it wasn't a hit and run
with two outs in an O two count. What was
that segment when when you feel like you feel dumber
after taking us something, you're talking about something uh? Uh oh?
The uh from Billy Madison from Billy Matt. Yeah, that's

(49:24):
exactly what we just gave you, Houston, Texas. Now there
are other stations of town breaking down Texans. You know,
potential uh backup safety conversation. Maybe that'd be better for us.
You want? Is it this one?

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (49:37):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (49:37):
I don't know if like oh, it's computer working. I
don't know things I have ever heard on. Let me
try this again, charl one more time.

Speaker 9 (49:43):
What you just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in
your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything
that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this
room is now dumber for having listened to it. I

(50:04):
award you no points, and may God have mercy on
your soul.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
And I know we do this on Fridays at eleven thirty,
but I want to say to all of you, the
great listeners of this show, I'm sorry. Oh I forgot
to do that on Friday, I said it. I'm sorry
I sent her weekly calendar. I'm sorry. By the way,
was Jonathan off on Friday? Yes, because he didn't respond
to any of my texts. He was getting a tooth YANCT.

(50:29):
He was probably under a lot of heavy drug use.
You get your tooth ached? Yeah, I got all four
with you. Poor man. He's back here on Monday, ready
to go. Did the girl? Did the girl take care
of you this weekend?

Speaker 5 (50:40):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (50:40):
She's not even in town, man, she's not even in town.
Woy just a minute, So the girl leaves town when
you have your wisdom teeth pulled? Hashtag hashtag for agency.

Speaker 10 (50:53):
With Toti's in the danger zone. Yeah, you know what's
on that clip is? She was like, what's the danger zone?

Speaker 1 (51:03):
You know what? You need a DFA her? Oh, you're
you're getting DFA DFA for assignment's baseball term. You got
ten days. Either trader, release her or sunder the miners.
That's your decision. Send it to the beast cowboys. Huh.
Tell her she can't hit nineteen ranch dressing with her
salad next time, to have to keep her down to

(51:24):
one ranch dressing. Poor kid? Love it? Man. Can you
imagine your girl leaving town when you have four wisdom
teeth pulled? I cannot endorse this, you know, let me.
I thought he got the scheduled quickly. Yeah, it's in
the door snacks. So see you got door dash that's good.
Hopefully they were easy to choose. Snacks, some great you know. Okay,

(51:44):
she didn't give you like core nuts, some gummy beer. Yeah,
she sent you crackerjack. That'd be the worst thing you
could possibly say to you. Something's gone wrong with it.
Something's not right with two guys. Oh, we've had many
an issue, trust me all right, eleven thirteen on Sports
Talk seven and eighteen. So the Red Sox make a move.

(52:06):
Rafael Devers is now a San Francisco Giant, and Devers
is is he Ross? In my mind? He is what's
wrong in sports? Huge contract right. Alex Bragman comes there,
They say, hey, man, can you move you know, can

(52:27):
you move around a little bit? Can you dh for us?
I know I want to play third base, but we
need you to dh uh. But yeah, this guy just
literally won the gold Glove, literally just won the Gold
Glove at third base. We think he should play third base. No,
I want to play third base. I want to play
third base. We'll move, and we'll move. Bragmant a second base,
but or not. We're just gonna tell that to make
you feel better. But when when he gets here, he
wors puts the Red Sox gear on. He's playing third base?

(52:47):
All right, I guess I'll DH first base. But the
Red Sox gets hurt? When did you go to first base? No, no,
I'm not doing that. I'm not doing I'm not playing
first base. He said, what you mean? And I'm gonna
and I'm gonna go in front of a bunch of
media members and say, the Red st liars in their
bad organization, how does that work out? You sent them
to San Francisco. Yes, where Matt Chapman is. I think

(53:10):
it's still hurt, correct, is he? I'll take your word.
He was on the injury list about a week ago.
So if his dream is playing third base for the Giants.
They just signed Matt Chapman to an extension, yes, a
lengthy deal. So what's he gonna do there?

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Dh?

Speaker 1 (53:25):
I guess for the Giants? I guess, so we didn't
want to play in the field. Why do you? Why
would the Giants want this cat? He's obviously disgruntled And
if you're just scrolling in Boston, all of a sudden
there's a change of scenery and seems just going to
make him a swell fella. No, I don't think so.
I don't think so at all. So man two hundred

(53:48):
and fifty million, he's owed till two to one t
thirty three some endeavors. Yes, that's a big, big deal.
Now I'm assuming the Giants, I mean, are they giving
up a lot in return, more than the prospect left handed? Yeah,
I don't. I was actually looking that up during the break.

(54:09):
Left handed started Kyle Harrison, right handed, Jordan Hicks, who
I thought they had. He started the season starting and
had a good start against the Astros. But then I
thought they moved into a bullpen, which he's good, throws
a hundred. I don't know how he's been doing on
the bullpen. He's got a six forty seven ERA this year.
Kyle Harrison has a four point fifty six ERA. You're

(54:29):
not giving them Red Sox much because you're you're taking
on a lot of that. You're taking on that contract.
Mm hmm. And then a couple of prospects I don't
know who, James tib that's third and rookie league right
hander Jose Bail And that's a loosely used term prospects.
Think about the Astros and over there the last handful

(54:51):
of years have given up prospects. They gave up prospects
in the Zach Grinky deal, none of those panned out.
They gave up prospects in the Justin Verlander deal and
those guys panned out. Mm hmm. They gave up prospects
in the yuse Kakuchi deal to Toronto. Those have networked out.
So it just feels like to me, we gotta we should.

(55:15):
You can't say, well, the team Team A went to
Team B and in a return, Team B gave up
just a bunch of Joe's you gotta call him prospects.
The outfielder James Tibbs is now number six on the
Red Sox list of top thirty prospects, and then the
pitcher Jose Bao is unranked in their top thirty. Yeah,

(55:36):
and again, a lot of this because the Giants are
paying that contract and they're like, I'm not giving you
all were if we're inheriting this hilaciously big contract. Yeah,
but you go from a guy that was a solid
player for you, that your team got better and they
wanted you to move to first base or DH and
you just bitched to moan them out of the entire time.

(55:57):
So basically, you know that was a ross. That's my
take my ball and I'm going home. It happens in
Major League Baseball for guys that make over two and
a million dollars a year. Yeah, this is this crazy.
It's pretty unique story, but it was definitely shocking when
it went down. It's shocking to hear about it because
you wouldn't nobody had heard about, you know this, this
trape of trade happening. Certainly not in the middle of June,

(56:18):
but when you think about it, Okay, yeah, he'd been
disgruntled there and clearly the organization was fed up and
they made a move. What it does, it gives. It
gives incredible power to a picture, to a player. Even
though the franchise is the one that said, hey, we'll
give you the money to keep you happy, and man

(56:39):
i I, player empowerment is still incredible. It's it's it's
it's it's most abundant in basketball. A player wants a
coach fired, it's going to happen. Yes, player wants to
be traded. As long as their contracts on um seene,
they'll get traded. Player wants to stay because he likes
the city and what he's in, like Bradley Bill is
right now playing for the Phoenix Suns. Bradley Bill has
been one of the most players overpaid players in recent

(57:02):
NBA history the Phoenix Suns. I'm staying here. I like it.
You're paying me crazy money, my family and my family
wonts to stay here and we're not going anywhere. Meanwhile,
Kevin Durant on the opposite, Kevin Durant's like, I'm going
to tell you where I'm going to go and sign
an extension. Now, you can try me anywhere you want,
but that team better know I'm out of there. If

(57:22):
it's not Houston, Miami or San Antonio. There's no accident
that it's getting reported publicly where Kevin Durant will sign
an extension. Yeah, that's because his age is probably telling him.
I guarantee the fans. Yeah, Phoenix Suns ain't sat is
shot running is getting told by the agent. Well, I'll
say this Devers again. I don't know if Boston's going
to ever get out of their doldrums. But I like

(57:44):
when players go to the National League. I just do.
I'm not sad about it. I like every team that
has good players moving up to the American League. Excuse me,
I mean, I just do. National League is pretty stacked.
Most of the best teams in baseball, at least by record.
Over there. We'll get to find out late October when
the Astros are playing one of those teams in the
World Series. When are you calling a shot? No, that

(58:10):
was purely the Astro fantom you segment. Okay. As of
right now, they are the third division leader, which would
mean the three seed, which would mean another wild Card series,
and the winner that wald Card series will take on
the Yankees because the Detroit Tigers are still the top
team in the American League, although both the Yankees and
the Tigers have slept a little bit. Yeah, the Astros

(58:32):
is only four games back of the Tigers, only game
and a half behind the Yankees. How, I don't know how,
I don't know. It's been crazy. It's great. Couple of
one run games, a couple of walk off doesn't matter.
They all count the same in the win column. Astros
are forty one and thirty sitting pretty This team was,

(58:56):
I mean under five hundred, it felt like for the
first So it's six seven weeks of the season. Man,
what's there? What's their record? Since, like, I don't know,
we can look it up. But I mean, my guess is,
what what are we now we're June sixteenth, What is
their record since like May twentieth. I'll have it for
you when we come back. Okay, we got to tell
the truth coming up in a few months too. No,

(59:17):
you can do that. You can do that. Seven one
three two one two five, seven ninety. We got to
tell the truth. But first one to talk to James
and Alvin on seven ninety. James, thanks for calling. Good morning.

Speaker 7 (59:26):
Oh thank you gentlemen for excepting my call.

Speaker 5 (59:29):
Anything for you, James, oh man, you guys are so
kind and by the.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
Way, Erican base, and we called your dumb ass. I
still love you, but you're still a dumbass. But that's
a different issue.

Speaker 7 (59:38):
No, that's okay, that's okay. I've been called wars not.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
You not you. Go ahead, Oh okay, uh, but listen,
I hope you guys had a good Father's Day and
all that good stuff. But listen, I was when I
found out that as far as we was traded to
Tampa Bay, I was hoping, I say, I hope they
tried to get the challenge sound some guy who I

(01:00:02):
think is a game changer you know, he came up,
they played him.

Speaker 7 (01:00:06):
A few games.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
He's not a he don't have what you said talk
about light power, like light power power, but he gets
on base and he can wreak havoc on the base pads.
So I'm thinking, you know, that would depth in our outfield,
the core, if we could.

Speaker 7 (01:00:27):
Have got him.

Speaker 5 (01:00:28):
Uh was any it was his name ever brought up
in the in the trade, you know with Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Who is this you're speaking of?

Speaker 7 (01:00:38):
Chandler Samson.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Chandler Samson, I'm not familiar. He's really he's just uh
mostly a speed guy, right or how's he hitting? I
let me but listen, listen, listen, Gentleen.

Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
Everybody said the same thing about Bence Coleman, James James.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
I got James, you sold him for cash. There was
no player it was involved in this. This was take
this guy off our hands.

Speaker 5 (01:01:12):
Well, okay, I understood that, but maybe you could have.

Speaker 7 (01:01:14):
Sweetened the pot and go and get this guy. Who
the same guy.

Speaker 5 (01:01:19):
When when the Astros was in the series with Tampa Bay.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
They walked him. He thole, he stole, he's stealing basics.
He's kind of like a contact hitting. He's like an
old school contact hitting speed guy.

Speaker 7 (01:01:30):
What's wrong with that, though, gentlemen.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
Well, there's the one's wrong with that as the player
you're giving him, as a terrible major league baseball player,
Why would why would the rais be interesting giving them
a guy that gets some speed over a guy who
has had like five days in major league service?

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
Well, you know it would be like I'm really talking
to him on the radar.

Speaker 7 (01:01:50):
I really would like to try to get this.

Speaker 5 (01:01:52):
Guy out of out of Tampa Bay and put him
in my organization because he is a guy that could depp.
He don't hit for power, but he can get on base.
And once he gets on base, he can turn a
walk into a stolen base. He can turn a single.

Speaker 7 (01:02:12):
And two, he can go from first to home.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
But does he hit the outside pitch the other way? James,
that's the biggest question, James, James, James, I don't want
you to ever bring him Chandler Simpson's name ever again. Okay,
Forest Whitley, Remember Forest Whitley, a guy who's had literally
like a hand like eight or nine days of major
league service.

Speaker 5 (01:02:33):
And he lost money on Forest Whitley, and.

Speaker 7 (01:02:36):
I lost money. I spent a ton of money on
Forrest Whitley.

Speaker 5 (01:02:40):
And quite naturally, he was a bus and as you
stayed it before, it's a lot of first rounders, that's
a bus. But at that time, his projection was to
be up to the major leagues.

Speaker 7 (01:02:52):
And if he was to perform as they had hyped
him up to be, but he didn't do that. But
at the same time.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
So here's what they here's what they said, take him
off our hands, will take some money. And by the way,
what the astros off Sol said was you get to
order any combo meal you want off the Jack in
the box menu as part of this deal. That's exactly
what Forest Whitley went for. You understand this.

Speaker 7 (01:03:16):
Right, Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:03:18):
But the guy that I'm speaking of, Chandler Sampson, he Simimpson.
He should Simpson, he should have been, he should have
been on major league radar.

Speaker 7 (01:03:30):
And I'm quite sure they calls about him. But they.

Speaker 1 (01:03:35):
Hey, all right, James, thank you, James, thank you, thank you, James.
Chandler Simpson on the on the radar. Yeah, he's one
of the raised top pro he's the raised number seven project. Okay,
so let's we're not giving you. Let's put this in
perspective Houston, Texas, Forest Whitley for the raised number seven prospects. Okay,
I don't know. I don't want I want none of

(01:03:56):
you to comment. I want you to think about in
your brain what you just heard. For as Whitley, Yes,
for the number seven prospect in the Rays organization. Do
you make the d I'd say no, gotta keep Forrest
Dfaid the Astros dfad him he was traded for cash considerations. Yeah,

(01:04:18):
Chandler Simpson, I mean yeah, as he mentioned, he's when
he gets on base, he's it's fun. But got of
nineteen stolen bases in just thirty five games, Chandler Simpson.
I would if I'm the Astros, I would accept the
Chandler Simpson trade. I would accept the trade too. I
think the race would think you're doing heroin. Heroin still

(01:04:42):
being used quite a bit, probably, Okay, you know have
I haven't checked lately? How we wasn't know that? Yeah,
just throwing it out there, just asking for a friend.
Why you need something? No, you're looking for a plug?

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Judge eleven thirty one, to tell the truth is up next,
to tell the truth. Have the two callers we've had
so far today been excellent seven one three, two, one
two five seven ninety.

Speaker 11 (01:05:15):
I never know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:16):
Why you don't know, but I do know how to
tell the truth. Voss. Now, I lie more than the
average person does.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
One thing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
I cannot lie, by the way, all of you on
Facebook were lying yesterday. I'm the greatest dad, all right,
number one dad, number one dad. Hear me. None of
your dads are as good as me. That's gonna Tellruth.
All right, here we go. Oh, mister Mandelbat, I just
wanted to come by and tell you how sorry I
was that you hurt yourself. What the hell is that?

(01:05:54):
Should you think that you are the number one dad?
This was a kid from my son. Oh my ship, No.

Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
Nuxt me on the commission So you can shrut around
and your fantacy number one ship.

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Show you whose number one? It's no time. He cracked
his back. I can't movembulance. I think I saw it
when a couple of doors down. That's you, You and
mister mandel Baum going for number one dad. Yeah, yep,

(01:06:33):
all right. So as a number one dad, I'm here
to tell you three of the four things in mind
this way to tell the truth are lies. Okay, So
which one. Am I telling the truth on? Oh wait,
only one? You believe only one? Okay, I just told
you this before when I'm back on the breath too.
Three of these are lies?

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Are wise?

Speaker 3 (01:06:54):
Three?

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
Or lies? One? The truth? Here we go, Mack and
Jerry Hankta will get to you as well. Number one.
Number one. You know in the NBA we're gonna have
the USA versus the World world format. Yes, let's spice
up the MLB All Star Game. I think he'd be
really competitive if we had USA versus the World in
an All Star game. Forget americanly versus nationally. I would

(01:07:14):
like to eventually see USA versus the World in an
All Star game. Okay, all right? Not Number one. The
USA is getting their ass kicks. Number two show Heo
Tani is going to pitch tonight for the Dodgers as
an opener in their series. I believe they're playing the Padres.
The Dodgers should shut this down as soon as they can.
You're paying for that bat, not for him to have

(01:07:36):
another Tommy John, not to miss significant period of time.
He's only pitching frankly right now because of necessity with
all the different Dodger pitchers on the injury list. I
would be very, very hesitant to do this much longer.
Sho Hoo. Tani's bat is worth the money, not his arm.
Sho Hoo. Tani should not do this only when necessity

(01:07:57):
comes into playing. So I am not for him doing both. Okay, okay.
Number three. If the Astros win the American League West,
there's no doubt in my mind, Joe Spottis should be
the American League manager of the Year. I know Detroit's
aj Hinch is gonna get a lot of run because
they've had the number one record all year long. But

(01:08:18):
we talked about this earlier today. With all of the
injuries and the Hodgepodge lineups and the subtractions of no
Kyle Tucker and Alex pregnant, and you're still winning the
American League West, Joe Spotts should be the American League
West Manager of the Year, American League Manager of the Year.
If the Astros win the West, he will be the
West manager of the year. Extra will be the only
one over five hundred and number four. If you're all

(01:08:39):
looking for a power back at the trade deadline, okay,
you got to give up something to get something. I
would trade Drake Myers to get that power back. You're
you're an ass. Why would you even say that one
of those four am I telling the truth? Number one
MLB should go to a USA versus World All Star format.

(01:09:02):
Number two show how Otani should only pitch one absolutely necessary.
Number three if the Astros when the AO West, Joe A.
Spottis should, no doubt, in my mind, be the American
League West, American League Manager of the Year, American Manager
of the Year. And number four. If you want to
power back for the Astros to get over the hump
and get into competitive chance for championship, you gotta trade

(01:09:24):
Jake Myris in the terms of giving up something to
get something, watch one of the four am I telling
you the truth? These are actually pretty good. Thank you,
I'm stunned pretty good, Thank you very much. In mind
is fresh after a couple of days off or something
like that. Thank you. So I'm actually very proud of you, Matt.

Speaker 10 (01:09:49):
I almost start off saying I don't think Matt would
appreciate the All Star Game just chained it up like that,
even though it's gonna be a spectacle.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
I think that's old. So what is your take exactly
on one you should be USA versus the world is
what they should go to baseball. You would like to
see it, not every year, but I'd like to see
it be something different. I mean, that's a reasonable regular take.
Why wouldn't you like to see it? Now I think
about it, USA, it'd be pretty good. You start Aaron
Judge and Paul Skeans starting there is a pretty good start.

(01:10:22):
Where's tarks Google from? I believe he's from Montenegro Serbian Martin,
you're a liar. That's terrible. You're you don't even tell
the truth. Okay Otani, Now see that's ridiculous because they're
paying him seventy million dollars a year, but you might

(01:10:45):
believe it. I don't think I'm throwing out number three
because A. J. Hinch is gonna win Manager of the
Year if the if the Twins, Tiger excuse me, Tigers. Yeah,
whatever starts with the tea, if the Tigers win the
American League or have the not win the Pennant. But
you know what I'm saying, I have the best record
in the American League. Trading Jake Myers for a power bat,

(01:11:08):
I'm ticking that one out. Really, I'm going number one.
I'm actually kind of lost Matt because he's are very good.
I'm very proud of you, but I'm gonna go with
number one. All right, number one? Oh wait, Jake, I
mean Jonathan, what do you what do you say? I'm
all one? Okay. I've mentioned this many, many, many, many times. Boys.

(01:11:30):
I like the All Star Game in baseball only. I'm
a traditionalist. I have no interest in seeing MLB versus
your world. Okay, I mean why not.

Speaker 5 (01:11:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
I just like American ly versus Nashally. I'm just sick.
I'm just a traditionalist when it comes to baseball. Okay,
that's true. Number two. I can't imagine the Astros flaunting
Jake Myers in a trade for the amount of outfield
that he outfield that has sets good so much inexperience.

(01:12:04):
I was gonna tell you to shut your bum ass
up if you can tell you that one. So, I
don't believe you would trade Jake Myers for a power
bat showing o. Tommy, as you said, is being paid
seventy million dollars a year. You use him as often
as you possibly can. If you can pitch, he can pitch.
If you can hit, he can hit you play him
as much as you can. He's paying he's being paid

(01:12:25):
to do both. You pay him to play both. You're right,
AJ Hinch is probably gonna win it. But I can't
think of a team that has had more trials and
tribulations than the Houston Astros and they're in a four
and a half game lead and there are eleven games
above five hundred. If the Astros win the Al West,
I do believe that Joe A. Spottis should be the

(01:12:45):
America League Manager of the Year. He won't get it,
but it's my opinion, and that, my friends, is me
telling you the truth. Okay, okay with that or no, no,
it's fine. I mean A J. Hinch is gonna win it,
and he deserved so, I mean, depending on how things
get close. But what if they have the same records.

(01:13:08):
Who is projected to be better but start of the
season probably Detroit? No, oh, no way. The Astros were
supposed to win the division with like eighty six wins.
I think the Tiger's supposed to be in the upper nineties.
M you wanna go look at win totals. Let's go
look at win totals. Okay, who had the higher so
put this way, who had the higher win total going
into the season. So sure it was the Astros over

(01:13:31):
the Tiger really in the American League Central, Yes, the Tigers. Well,
all right, I mean I stay correct if I stay corrected. Uh,
let's see where is this from CBS Sports Astros eighty
seven and a half Tigers eighty three and a half.
What al right, Maybe he's gonna win, but I still

(01:13:53):
I still put my vote up there. That's okay, I
sip my vote up there, all right. Eleven forty five
Sports Talk seven ninety were with you till two o'clock
today seven one three two one two five seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seventy. He's my
manager of the year, no matter what anybody hates on Okay,
good Matt, Probably I would imagine, I mean, hinching a

(01:14:13):
spot is the finished They're the they're the favorites, right
for sure. The drama is set. It's game one of
a four game series. The A's the Astros. It's next
on Sports Talk seven ninety what's not next? About eight
hours away? I got on deckon eight o'clock. Ant got
time taking a nap right in between? Oh yeah, absolutely,

(01:14:35):
I'm taking nap for I watched the game. How long
do you all take nets for? I just had this
question my parents. How long is that? My average nap
time is? And I would say the last ten naps
I've taken probably seventy five minutes. Wow, that's almost the
borderline sleep, Matt. I think you should stick between thirty
in an hour. Now, I when I go to Rockets games,

(01:14:56):
I can sleep here for like forty five minutes or
put the eight team on it and go to sleep
in about three or four. Yeah, that's a good way
to get a little nap. beIN that way. Put you're
right to sleep, like sleep your sleep. It's a deep
rem at that point. I'm just kidding. Oh geez, any

(01:15:20):
team come oup at two o'clock here on Sports Talk
seven ninety All right, by the way, Uh yeah, so
what is your sleep time on the naps?

Speaker 10 (01:15:29):
I only do like now, like fifteen to thirty minutes.
If I do any longer than.

Speaker 1 (01:15:33):
Ask You're like, it's like that is a power nap,
that's what you would call that. So sometimes when I
met Rockets for Rockets games, I will go to the arena,
sleep in my car and I can I can hear
myself snoring. It wakes me every time. So I've debated
this before. When does nap become sleep? Two hours? Two hours?
I was thinking four who takes four hour naps? Three

(01:15:56):
and a half? No, if it's in the middle of
over one hundred twenty one when you hit the one
twenty minute mark, that's a that is not an app
one two to four thirty, that's a that's sleep. That's sleep. Okay,
I'm just asking God. That sounds good, all right? Seven
one three two one two five seven and it Let's

(01:16:18):
talk to some great people of Houston, Texas, or at
least our listeners. Mac On seven eleven fifty three Mac,
Good morning, Good morning Jents.

Speaker 12 (01:16:26):
So if at the start of the season you told
people that after seventy one games, Joe would have had
to play without his best hitter for at least a
third of those games, the sixty percent of his starting
pitching would be on the shelf, and his major free
agent signing would be hitting what is he two two

(01:16:48):
ten right now? Two o seven something like that, and
everybody else got off to a low start, you'd have
been burning candles for Joe, you know, and finding reckon
ending psycheactric help for him, but instead we're forty one
and what thirty?

Speaker 6 (01:17:06):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
Yes and a half clear.

Speaker 12 (01:17:09):
Of the fostered an atmosphere where uh Myers is hitting
as well as he ever has. Who gets credit for
the leadoff of Jeremy Payne is that's is that Altuve
get a fall for that? Or or is does Joe
get the you know, credit for that?

Speaker 1 (01:17:30):
Or when it first happened it was always I think
it was Joe nl twove. I think they it was
kind of collaborative. I'm not exactly sure the the the
first person who did it. Was it Al that suggested it?
Or was it a spot at first putting Jeremy Penne
at leadoff? Yeah, I think and.

Speaker 12 (01:17:49):
Did it, and my god, it worked, and uh so
I get sometimes I think he leaves for my taste,
he leaves a picture in too long. But you know,
we've done really well bringing up all those rooks and
actually a couple of them are pitching pretty well right now.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
The sorry rotation this weekend was spectacular, I mean it
really was. And thank you very much for the phone call.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
Mac.

Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
I mean, Russ, we don't know who these people are.
Brendan Walter Colton, Gordon, Ryan Gusto. I mean, by the way,
is your Gusto hate over with now? After talking about
people have heard the show, they know that's not true.
You have you have no gut yet, thank you very much.

(01:18:35):
Jonathan have done five innings in like four outings or
whatever it was, and he put together a quality start. Yeah,
after you said the guy should be sent down a
double A, it's not true, I said, Ryan gus So,
I got your back. That's the category of I just
don't get it. What the Savannah Bananas. It's for the kids,

(01:18:57):
but there are like adults that lose their blank over
getting Savannah Banana tickets. Yeah, okay, well, yeah, I know
that it was on ESPN and I had it. I
had it on the second TV for a little while.
And would you think I don't get it. I mean
they're trying to be like the heart on glove Trotters
of baseball. It's just entertainment. I didn't get the rules

(01:19:19):
because they had points and runs. It was very confusing.
But I didn't have the audio on because I was
I think I was watching the Astros or something else.
I and again, here's to be fair, and I need
to do this before I officially make it. I just
don't get it. Okay, I need to watch more than
about five minutes of it because the two map factor,
to me is incredible. I had it on, like I said,
I had it on. I wasn't really actively watching much,
but it was on for over an hour and I

(01:19:40):
still didn't know what the hell was. You know, they're
filling up, like, yeah, they were one hundred thousand seats stadium,
Bank of America Stadium. The place was packed. Yeah, they
were at Anaheim Stadium, and you know, the Angels don't
draw flies. Bananas were there. Fifty thousand people were there.
How do you feel as a Los Angeles Angels player
that you're getting out drawn by the Savannah Bananas. But
the difference is that with a if you would to say,

(01:20:00):
if the Bananas were playing six days a week with
Amy fifty thousand people? Though probably not. But still it's
got a bit a bit of a blow to the ego.
I'm sure it does. Jerry on seven ninety Good morning, Jerry, Yeah,
good morning.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
I was just gonna call and say, uh, A Spot
has done it a good job, especially with how bad.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
The lineups really are.

Speaker 2 (01:20:23):
We've got what maybe five major league players, and then
an awful lot of of others. I mean, Brandon Rodgers
has been kind of terrible. Walker certainly hasn't done anything,
and we can't keep a left fielder of healthy. The
real question that I have is I don't see them

(01:20:48):
changing anything. And that means that they're gonna score three
runs or less most games, and I'm not sure that, uh,
that's that's the winning thing. I think that they've got
to do some uh much more management of runners moving along,

(01:21:08):
especially the four guys that can steal bases, take the
bases and put pressure on the other defenses, because if
you don't do that, you're gonna you know, this is
the Oreoles from the eighties. You know, let's work, let's
wish for a three run homer, and we really need
to be bunting more.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
We need to be guys. Oh yeah, and then we
also it's not what I'm doing. I'm not doing that well.

Speaker 2 (01:21:40):
And when I say bunting, I don't. I'm not talking
about squaring around. I'm talking about their third basements, playing
as deep as they can be at third base. Drop
a couple of squeezes are uh uh you know, drag
bunch down there and make them come up three or
four or five feet. That that makes that false up
on them and they'll get a lot more past them

(01:22:02):
that way.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
What if they pop it up and get it out?

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
You know, they are major leaguers. I would like to
think that they should be able to do that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:11):
How many buns do you see in an average Major
League Baseball game these days, not counting Astros games?

Speaker 8 (01:22:17):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
Well, you know, I saw the Rays do it a
bunch of times, and they looked pretty good against US
last two weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (01:22:25):
Yeah, tiftole the mess out of bases. Yeah, a Tampa
Bay is a decent record. A decent record. I mean,
they're okay, but you know they're gonna plus sixty two
run differential. It must be the bunting, So I mean
that's got to be it. Well, yeah, Jerry, the bunning
is dead. It's it's just not completely dead, but it's
on life support. And I'm not talking about just the
Astro baseball teams in general. I think it happened over

(01:22:46):
the weekend. They had a successful one. I can't remember
exactly when it was. A got painted of the second base, correct,
Am I making that up? Was it was it Brendan
Ry who it was a somebody put it? Oh Kpaham.
That's why Cooper Hama, luis Ki or man. Who are
these people? That's why Joe Spottis should be the American
League Manager of the Year. Look what you're throwing out there.

have a receding hairline, ball spot, thinning hair, it doesn't be.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
Oh yeah, five teams, actually two teams, five games have
all taken ls at the expense of your future. American
League West champion Houston Astros. Was it me last year
that claimed they were gonna win the America League West
and June first? That last year was two years ago?
They did it? I think, yeah, you put your name

(01:26:36):
on it or something. Yeah, tomorrow if you want, I could,
I could could. It's a pretty good Yeah. Look at
you got on a limb, like four and a half
games up every other team. That game is nothing. Dude,
you have no trade deadline yet. I mean I can't,
but it's the millionaires of the range. Go ahead, do it.

Speaker 7 (01:26:53):
I'll do it.

Speaker 1 (01:26:54):
Let's go tomorrow eleven thirty mini, right, I mean put
my name on it. Time down for the news at
noon twelve to eight on Sports Talk seven ninety and
with all the headlines. We have the Charlie Steiner of
Houston Sports. Charlie Steiner. Okay, I guess I will take that, Matt. Yes,
we do start off with your Houston Astros. As you mentioned,

(01:27:16):
they have won five straight. They are forty one and
thirty four and a half games ahead of the Seattle Mariners,
and right now we got to be feeling pretty good.
How about back to back walkoffs? Is there a sadder franchise?

Speaker 3 (01:27:32):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
I guess there is, probably, but the Minnesota Twins feel
extremely snake bit as you mentioned, Matt, they haven't won
a playoff game in like thirty some odd plus years.
They seem to be just owned by the Astros at
all times, and now, not only do they get blown
out on Friday, back to back walk off losses to
the Houston Astros. How's your good friend Carlos Korea feeling

(01:27:55):
right about now? Very rich, very happy? Okay? Do you
think he's okay? I think you said he's handling it
just fine?

Speaker 3 (01:28:03):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:28:03):
Well, as you mentioned, the Astros the heavy favorites in
the division, of course, we always go to the playoff
odds of our good friends at Fangrass. Would you care
to guess the Astros odds to win the division right now?
According to Fangraphs odds percentage chance you mean, or odds.
I'll give you a hint. It's over sixty percent. I'm

(01:28:26):
gonna put them at sixty eight percent. Wow, Well you
know it started getting the metalytics sixty six point eight percent.
Sixty uh. And they also have them at eighty six
point five percent to make the playoffs and as far
as World Series odds six point four percent. So you're

(01:28:48):
telling me there's a chance. This is not a great chance,
but there's a chance. But you're telling me there's a chance. Well,
scares you more. To Charita the Yankees. From me, it's
the Yankees, although they're pitching is hot mess. Yeah, that's so,
I will go to Detroit and aj Hinch and his
black magic. They're not going to do bullpen game stuff
like that. Anyways, if you did meet up with them,
it would be at this point, the way the standings are,

(01:29:09):
it wouldn't be until the ALCS, so that would be
a full seven game series. But Tiger's been pretty good.
Astros are in that mix elsewhere on the news at noon,
of course, met Rafael Devers, the All Stars slugger for
the Red Sox sent to the San Francisco Giants. They
got left handed starter did the Red Sox Kyle Harrison,

(01:29:32):
right hander who has been a starter but also in
the bullpen, Jordan Hicks outfield prospect, James Tibbs the third
who goes on to number six in the Red Sox
farm system list, and a rookie league right hander named
Jose Abayo who is not in the top thirty eight prospects,
so we'll see from that. Giants cover the remainder of
Devers' contract, no money going till twenty thirty three. He

(01:29:55):
is owed two hundred and fifty million dollars, and that's
when the Giants told Red Sox you'll be getting no
prospects from us, because guess what we're paying that big
ass contra is one guy in a couple of major leaguers.
So still overall, a big blockbuster deal for the Boston
Red Sox. Devs a sent Frisco Giant, and again the

(01:30:18):
players win. Player discrenled, I want to get moved, and
you got moved. Giants right now two games back of
the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West, Padre
is also in the mix at three games back, so
we'll see what that has as far as the impact.
Now you talk about being scared of teams, I mean,
the National League is looking pretty tough. Got the Mets

(01:30:41):
playing well, got the Cubs playing well, and then the
Dodgers and Giants and Padres all in the mix as well.
But the astros in the American League, which not as good.
So it's a much more of an open race in
American league. We're like the Eastern Conference of the NBA. Yeah,
I would agree with that. You know, you're not gonna
find other sports. Town's gonna give you cross roverages between

(01:31:01):
two sports.

Speaker 8 (01:31:03):
Me.

Speaker 1 (01:31:03):
I guess not number one Dad, Mett Elsewhere in the
news the number one dad according to Matt Thomas and
of course his children and family. How much of the
US Open did you watch, Matt Zero?

Speaker 3 (01:31:15):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:31:16):
Okay, was I supposed to lie in gain?

Speaker 7 (01:31:18):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
I watched all Sunday.

Speaker 13 (01:31:19):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
We expect you to lie on this show. But JJ
spawn winning the US Open his first time even finishing
in the top ten of a major, and he captured
the title with a sixty four and a half foot
BIRDI putt. Now, he could have two putt for the win,
but he said no, I'm good, especially on those greens

(01:31:42):
at Oakmont. Man a sixty four and a half foot
birdie putt to win the US Open yesterday. Pretty impressive.
I had never heard of him until yesterday.

Speaker 3 (01:31:52):
M hm.

Speaker 1 (01:31:53):
So I'm congratulating him and his family, and I'm assuming
he's got an attractive wife. I believe he does, and
it was nice for him to win on Father's Day.
Matt first place for the US opened four point three
million dollars. Now he puts them in the thirty eight
percent tax range, So that's gonna be a big chunk
thick there. That's true as well, but it beats a

(01:32:14):
hole in the head. Robert McIntyre finishing second, gets two
point three million dollars, Victor Hoveland one point four five
million dollars, and then Carlos Ortiz, Cameron Young, and Tyrell
Hatton all time for fourth, getting about eight hundred and
eighty thousand dollars. Okay, and that's your news. No, you

(01:32:35):
forgot one thing more over the weekend? Uh, what's that?
Steven Adams gets a new three year deal with a Rocket. Yeah,
I did well that was from over the weekend. Yeah,
we can figure. We can recap things. That's old. That's
old news. Okay. I was pleasantly surprised. Where are you? Yeah,
I'm not that surprised. I thought there would have been
a little bit higher deal. Uh, I mean, what was it?
Thirteen million per year? Basically, yes, that's that's backup ceremony.

(01:33:00):
It is and great news to have Steven Adams still
here eating a lot of steak. According to Mats, a
lot of steak. The man can knock it back and
you know, like a poorhouse usually share with two or
three people. Hopefully we can interview him on media day
and he will binge press you. It'll be hopefully not
nearly as awkward as last year's conversation. That was great.
What do you mean? I had a big smile on

(01:33:21):
my face the whole time. I bet you did. He
wanted to squish me like a uh, what do you call?
What's that? What's that? What's that instrument? You score? The accordion?
The accordion. He wanted to hold you up like an accordion.
He wanted to foll me up like an accordion. Okay,
but we're not best friends. That's great. He calls you mate.
I heard that he does, so does Jack Lindell. I'm mate,
made in boss And then the other players don't even

(01:33:42):
acknowledge me none than that were good people? Was it
you or was it somebody else? On Twitter was getting
people were getting mad for saying mate. No, no, he's
not Australian guys. He well, yeah, he still says mate,
even though he's kiwi yeah, and carries like this big
hook with him the whole time.

Speaker 3 (01:33:59):
A hook.

Speaker 1 (01:34:00):
What do you mean a bamboo? I know what you
did last summer guy. No, we're not gonna do a
highlight basket. I don't know what he's carrying, but it's
he's are you talking about? He carries someone on every trip. Okay,
I'll have to ask my rocket travelers say if they
know what that is?

Speaker 3 (01:34:13):
Is it like?

Speaker 1 (01:34:13):
Yeah, it is high like a highlight thing. I'll find out.
Twelve fifteen on Sports Talk seven, Houny, we take some
more phone calls next to you. I don't even know
what it's called, but I'm gonna find out. But he
brings us a big stick with him every time he
goes on the road trip with us. Is that legal?
Is it a weapon, not a weapon. It's made of bamboo.
All right. You don't carry a bamboo stick around with you? No,

(01:34:34):
I don't, all right? Uh, twelve fifteen on Sports Talk seven. Hoey,
it's twelve twenty two. Ross and I are with you
till two o'clock. And for that, we thank you for
spending part of your day with us, hopefully been with
us a whole time. And we're gonna do some more
contesting like we did with Lazy Boy on Friday, because
we want to this frankly reward y'all for listening to
the show. It means a lot to us. And you've

(01:34:54):
got choices, and we hope that you make your choice
with us every single day. So we're gonna do what
we can to give a boys some nice prizes, and
I hope that to the winner, we'll enjoy that five
hundred dollars gift. Vict Congratulations, the Victor appreciate that. Bran
thanks Victor for listening to the radio show. Congratulations. And
they had two for one recliners, so I hope one
gets in my way. And I don't have authority to

(01:35:17):
give away Astros tickets, but I have my Rocket tickets,
my personal ones I I give away more during course
the season. I like that there's go'n me be a
hotter ticket in town. That's true, especially if Kevin Durant
is here. Okay, so listen this real quick, you know, say,
we'll get Brandon wants to get a phone call. I mean,
let me get talk to Brandon and then we'll get
to this Kevin Durant size again. I'm I'm constantly mixed
about this, and we'll get to more of that in

(01:35:37):
a minute. But right now, let's talk to Brandon on seven.
Hoy Brandon, good morning or good afternoon.

Speaker 8 (01:35:42):
Hey Matg, good afternoon. I always love the show man.
You'll do a great job.

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
Thank you very much. Appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
Man. Just want to check in.

Speaker 8 (01:35:48):
You know, obviously, it's always one of those things where
you know less is more. I always use that saying sometimes.
And I can't really think of a better better guy
right now than Joe Spotta, who's really pushed all the
right buttons in the seventy games. It's crazy to see,
like your callers have said, they've lost that two thirds
of the rotation and the injuries over the past two
or three years with all the Tommy John surgeries, plugging

(01:36:09):
in guys with not a top you know, the top
one hundred prospects in the top ranked farm system that
was there probably about ten twelve years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:36:15):
But it's amazing.

Speaker 8 (01:36:16):
I commend the front office, and you know, watch these
guys play together and come together. It's going to be
interesting to see what they do at the the trade deadline,
if they do anything at all. I think part of it,
Matt could be getting you know, players back healthy on
the roster, could be their trade deadline. You're done. Of course,
Parade is maybe adding an arm or something like that.
But I was going to get your opinion on maybe
another left handed back. I know sometimes they kind of

(01:36:37):
get a lot of right handed eccentric yep, Ryan O'Hearn
with Baltimore, Cedric mullins, if they're available.

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
What about that.

Speaker 1 (01:36:45):
I do believe, and thank you for the phone calling,
nice words, Brandon. I do believe they're going to kick
the tyres on the left handed bat. I also believe
that they feel like that a lot of their issues
could be resolved with the attorney on on Alvarez. But
but the question is when is that going to happen? Uh,

(01:37:08):
And we don't know that, and even if they told us,
I wouldn't say believe, because let's say, let's be honest,
they haven't been overly honest with their injury issues. I'm
gonna tell y'all something that I don't know if y'allre
gonna like or not or be indifferent too. I do
not expect the Astros to be uper aggressive of the deadline.

(01:37:30):
The only kind of deal I see, honestly them making
is a move to maybe move Chas McCormick, because especially
when Alvarez comes back, you're now adding another outfielder to
the mix, non grant. He's primarily your DH and may
not play much at all in the outfield, but you're
already congested out there to begin with. Unless Jacob Melntain

(01:37:52):
has gone for a significant period of time. And I
heard the ankle injury is pretty severe, correct, Yeah, they
put him on the I basically immediately. Yeah, I like
I thought. I saw four weeks is what the report was.
So that may play into maybe not moving Chaz, But
the issues to me would be a left handed bat
who could obviously play some second base. I don't think

(01:38:14):
you're looking to get other outfielders though, right I mean,
am I missing something here? Uh? Cam Smith is playing
just about every day. You want him to get looks.
He's getting better. Zach Decenzo will eventually come back and
get his looks as well. I don't see them going
for outfield help. Yeah, Mullins is good out there in
the field, but it's not like you know, he's the

(01:38:37):
best bat out there. Although I'm pulling up his ops
this year seven to eighty that's pretty good. I let
me tell you seven eighty and twenty twenty five is
really good. He can rack up some stolen bases. Is
hurt again. Brandon Lowe has been mentioned, the second baseman
who is a left handed bat for the Tampa Bay Rays.

(01:39:02):
The question is well and has come down to, is
how much can the Astros offer if if other guys
are involved in these in w Street targets as well.
Back to Hern, why I mean he plays is he
played other position outfield and first base. He's gonna say
you don't need a first base. I mean you're you're
going to I don't even don't even get that thought.

(01:39:27):
What Sean Singleton up to? You don't need outfield, you
need second base. If you're really gonna go make a
move for an everyday position player. You need second base.
Brandon Low makes a lot of sense from the race.
I'm assuming he's right. He doesn't make a lot of money. No,

(01:39:50):
uh he doesn't. Let's see, he's a ten and a
half million this year. He's got a team option for
next year with a five hundred thousand dollars buyout. Uh,
this is funny. The option increases for each top five
finish in the MVP vote. That will be an issue.
It is not an issue. So yeah, it's a team

(01:40:12):
option for next year, which actually the the Astros might
be interested in. That was eleven and a half million. No,
which one is the Low and which one's allow? Nathaniel Wait?
Wait wait, wait, hold on, Brandon Lao. Yeah, you're right
it is. I'm like I got because no, it's okay,
Brandon is Brandon Lao and it's Nathaniel Low on the rays, right,

(01:40:38):
whatever it is, they both should go to Low because
Lao is there's just no, there's no You're right, I
get I get those confused all the time. Nathaniel, it's
Nathaniel Low. And then they used there was another Low.
Doesn't Nathaniel Low have like a brother or a cousin
or something. All right, here are the numbers for low
LAO seven fifty six ops this year? Uh ops plus one. Yeah,

(01:41:00):
they have Josh Lowe. So they have Josh Lowe who
is Nathaniel Lowe's brother. They used to have Nathaniel and
now they have Josh the brother, and then they have
Brandon Lowe. Oh hell, you've just confused Houston, Texas right there,
I forgot, but I remember I thought, Brandon, you're right

(01:41:21):
now that kind of fits left handed bat second baseman.
Problem is the rais they're gonna watch your prospects, and
I don't know they want your pitching prospects. You should
be scared. I just don't know. Dana's like, man, you've
forced me to go get give up prospects too straight,
so bad, it's so difficult, so there's nothing left yea.

(01:41:42):
I know those guys haven't turned out to be anything,
but when the trade was made. Now, of course it
was an overreaction, but you still gave up guys that
you thought were prospects. Otherwise Toronto wouldn't have taken them.
So we'll see. I'm a stand by original statement. I
think we're going to if you're if you're thinking the

(01:42:03):
Astros are gonna make it a super impactful move. In fact,
you know what, Ross I got news for you. I
could see Joseel Tube getting back this primarily second base
before the season is done, more so than the Astra
is going to get a second base one. I think
they don't want to do that. I don't think they
want to do it, but I think they're gonna be,
by necessity, going to have to do it because do
be again, nice enough player, but you don't want him

(01:42:23):
playing six days a week. There, Brendon Rodgers can't hit
am I forgetting anybody else's played second base? No, uh,
there's a young man named Bryce Matthews has been playing
second base for the Sugarland Space Cowboys. You don't bring
him up right now in the middle of a pennant race,
fresh young start service time guy A word. Now, you

(01:42:45):
don't know that he's just kidding this. Maybe that was
that was from the Talladega Nights. That's a good pull
by you. Uh eight pounds six ounds Bryce Matthews. Yeah,
I know, I get what you're saying. I'm gonna putting
this right. But Matthew sees the team this year, So

(01:43:06):
Brandon Lao mm hmm, future Houston Astro. Let's just leave it.
Let's be consistent that way. When people call, say what
what player would you like to see the Astros go after,
I will say Brandon Lao okay. And I will also
say it saying King's ransom to get him. King's rans
because because he's affordable and an affordable team option next year. Yeah,

(01:43:27):
all right, twelve thirty Sports Talk seven ninty. All right,
how do we really feel about all this Kevin Durant stuff?
All right? So I mentioned this earlier today that I
am obsessed with these rumors that I hear about the Rockets.
But there's only one person I trust, Shams. I mean,
there are everybody in their mother has these I'm what

(01:43:50):
I'm hearing stuff. I'd go with Wendy okay, but I'll
put it this way, Wendy Marrian Winhorse. We're talking about
Brian win Horse, not Wendy from the Burger Joint, yeah,
or the association. I don't trust Stein, this Skuy Mike Scatto,
I don't know who that is. I trust Mark Stein. Yeah,

(01:44:11):
he hadn't hitting what Crispy Haynes don't care Haines has
got some stuff, but he's usually But no one's going
to get this story except Sham's first, okay, and if
it is, if it's anybody else, I mean, if you
were on the betting board, Shams is a minus fourteen
thousand to get it, and everybody else. What about your
dog Sam Amy? Nope, okay, No, he only handles Northern

(01:44:34):
California stories. I tease him about all the time. So
if it's deer and fox trade from soccer, shall we
get shoot?

Speaker 12 (01:44:41):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (01:44:41):
I'm gonna get Sam on Thursday. You should because gods
there boys, he didn't respond to me anymore. Since it's
a big time all right, I'm gonna get him on
Thursday because my attacker is uh in Paris this week.
Oh that's right. Yeah, we're not gonna get him calling
from Paris, I don't think so. No cafe in Paris,
that'd be nice with the with the with a French
all right? Yes?

Speaker 8 (01:45:00):
And not bag?

Speaker 1 (01:45:01):
Ants say Bag, it's without a French accent? Yet you did?
It's the default is bag? Yes, yes it is. Matt Matthia. Sorry,
I'm not bringing up collect again. I don't care how
many times you ask collect Okaysku, sorry, this is your

(01:45:27):
fault somehow, I'm not blaming my Have you brought up
Attacker going to Paris? I did? So we're getting Sam
amycon Okay, I might get Sam on Thursday. Okay, okay.
Back to my point. So you have been a huge
Kevin Durant fan since he was spent one year at
University Texas. Yes, I was there. I touched his hand.
Well's up. And it's easy to be a Kevin Durant
fan because it's one of the seventy five greatest players.

(01:45:48):
Everything Now is he a little different in terms of
burner accounts and loaner and not necessarily a team leaderly
one time he had Berner counts. Now it comes after
people on Maine as the kids say, what is Maine
on the main account? Oh okay, Oh let's go Okay,
that's fine. I appreciate the hell out of him. He

(01:46:14):
will go down as one of the seventy five greatest.
I don't know where you put him in the all
time money for me, Okay, you can probably put a
top twenty in together, you know. But what we're what
we're going to get or whoever's going to get him ultimately,
he's gonna get sixty percent of the player that he
was in his prime. But he's still six', eleven he
can still. Shoot he's still a terrific downhill. Player defensively

(01:46:37):
is a, mess always been a high turnover, guy but nobody's.
Perfect not, yet not a fleet of foot as he
used to be, defensively but in his prime he was
very And Kevin durant with whatever team he goes, to
will make a huge splash in THE. Nba it will
be a number one topic in. Sports, yeah outside of Young.

(01:47:00):
Us the biggest possible trade to be made this, summer no,
question and there's not even a thought then maybe a
thought of The Janna state stays In. Milwaukee he, might
which will make it the number one. Story rumors are
again you're talking to win, horses pretty connected that the
asking price is way high or the hall that the

(01:47:22):
suns are being offered is not great in, return. Right
not helping matters for teams that want to Get Kevin
durant is The Desmond bine, trade where The grizzlies Sent
Desmond bane to The magic For Contavious, Coldwell, Pulp Cole
anthony and four first round. Picks, unprotected unprotected and a future.

(01:47:45):
Swap but IF i just throw this out forgetting about
what is given up in, return because, look there aren't
there are Some Jalen green detractors In, Houston. Texas they find,
out and it certainly grew with the performance Against Golden
state that wasn't. GREAT i don't think AND i don't

(01:48:12):
mean to paint with a broad brush, HERE i don't
think people will be mad at The durant trade because
of giving up On Jalen. GREEN i think they'd be.
Giving they'd be mad because they're worried That Kevin durant
is gonna come here get an extension beyond this year
and he's forty percent of the player that he used
to be and he's. Hurt and guys that are thirty,

(01:48:34):
seven thirty, eight thirty nine making fifty plus million dollars
a year typically don't turn out to be game. Changers
because if you if You're Kevin Durant, ROSS i, mean
if you're The rockets and you you are bringing him
here to win a championship next, season it would be
championship or. BUST a team that went to the, playoffs,
yes second best, record the thought would be you're going

(01:48:56):
to rock the boat after maintaining THIS ebb and flow
line of. Improvement you are. Coming you are bringing him
here to win the whole damn, thing, right championship or. Bust,
yeah we haven't had that conversation in these parts Since
Chris paul was, here so that would Be and that's
What Rafael stone has to weigh in team building if
he agrees with the championship or bust, doctrine with the

(01:49:19):
way that they're building this. Team because if you want the,
championship you need all the, cliches alpha, dog go to,
guy whatever you want to. Say you need, that and
you don't have that right. Now because here's the. Thing
Oklahoma city didn't build on championship or. Bust indiana didn't
build on championship or. Bust New york maybe didn't with

(01:49:40):
The Karl Anthony towns. Trade who else is in the
in The, Minnesota, uh probably getting close to. It milwaukee
swung for The, yeah most of the, time you're gonna
swing for the fences and miss because only one team
out of thirty becomes a championship. Team but that's a
hard conversation to have with your fans if you don't
don't win, it you, go you go to the championship

(01:50:05):
or bus and whether you say it or, Not durant
does that for In San antonio all of a, sudden
young team With Devin vassell And Jeremy sohan And Victor
Weman yama and uh uh last year's rookie of the
just to. Fincastle you go from a nice Little San
antonio team to you're Bringing Kevin. Durant you need to

(01:50:26):
win a. Championship now do some teams thrive with that
and go it and say, yeah we're ready to do.
That i'm okay with that, Too but we haven't had
that kind of talk around these parts in a long
period of, time and that puts tremendous pressure on everybody.
Involved that's All i'm. Saying, YEAH i. Understand, yeah swinging
for the fences generally you're going to. Lose but if

(01:50:47):
your your goal is to win a championship at all,
costs you also have to do. Something hoping and praying
That Jalen green becomes that alpha. DOG i think he's
going to be fringe all star type of, guy not,
superstar best team won a championship team type of. Guy
that's my. Opinion Raf elstone in The Houston rockets might feel.
Differently he puts in the work or works, hard he's

(01:51:10):
gotten better in all those. Things then you had then
you go to What, Alprin, shing Goon anam And thompson
Would you would put the big core of three players
that you're hoping are all star, level Maybe Jabari Smith
junior on the fringe of that. List you don't win
championships without all star, players multiple all star, players and
go To alpha. Dogs so the ballance you have, is

(01:51:35):
does this roster have that player that one more year
is going to change? It or do you go get
a guy that's done, it but you're might be afraid
that he may never be able to do it again.
Again if it's done, Here i'm gonna tell, You i'll
be fired. Up If i'm gonna be purely honest with,
You he's Still Kevin. Durant he's still As i'm a

(01:51:56):
checkscurse twenty five points the game. Now Has brooklyn worked
out for?

Speaker 10 (01:52:03):
Him?

Speaker 5 (01:52:03):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:52:03):
No Did phoenix work out for?

Speaker 3 (01:52:05):
Him?

Speaker 1 (01:52:05):
No so how much of that do you all of
a sudden go just Because Kevin durant goes to your
team does not what do they? Say it does not guarantee? Success?
Right past performance is not guarantee future. Success god, YEAH
i feel Like i'm doing a show with the F.
Hutton thank you think you know where that guy? Is Morgan, Stanley,

(01:52:26):
Okay Charles, schwab same. Thing so that's what we all wrestle.
With now put on the. Underside if The rockets don't
get him and he goes To San, antonio are you
flipping out that a team in your own division and
your Own Western, conference you're adding another title contender to.

Speaker 3 (01:52:43):
Mix.

Speaker 1 (01:52:43):
Ridiculous you just hope he And wimby aren't healthy going
forward To. Prey, yeah all of a sudden is a.
Rocket Kevin, durant he's the, best is a. SPUR i
hope he gets hurt the. Bum, yeah but you you
to win a. Championship you got. Us we got to

(01:53:04):
swing for the fences where The rockets are right. NOW
i THINK i think if they stay where they, are
they'll be. Good maybe they can make the Occasional Western conference.
Final but you're not gonna be anywhere, close and there
will be no thunder right. Now there'll be no championship
or bust, tag which, again the two teams in THE
Nba finals don't have that on there to. Attach can
The nuggets retool Around Nikola, yokich who is still the
best player on the. PLANET i mean he pushed The

(01:53:25):
thunder to seven. GAMES i, mean and that that team
was not that. Good they can get. Better, Yeah also
a full year with their, coach a full year with
The lakers And Luca doncich where are they going to?
Be And edwards in The. Timberwolves it's tough out there
in The. West it's. True it's very, difficult all. Right
someone told this out and we'll, say have too many
calls on. This if you'd like to do you without

(01:53:47):
doing too much, dissecting do you Want Kevin durant at any?
Calls whatever it may, be could be loaded per could
be a bunch of draft, picks could Be Jalen, green
could Be, jabarismith could be can't win. MORE i, MEAN
i can be a variety of. Things price has gone,
up Thanks Orlando. Magic but If phoenix ain't, happy you

(01:54:08):
may have to wait for somebody either to step their
ant offer up or just accept what they. Have And
Kevin durant, SAYS i want to go there do you
Want Kevin? Durant simple question seven one three two one
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two
five seven ninety with you all? Right so, again, uh
if you'd like to give us a response To Kevin
durant as a? Rocket what do you?

Speaker 8 (01:54:27):
Think?

Speaker 1 (01:54:29):
Ross check those phone line seven one three two one

sixty Eight CAMARO ss has sixty thousand miles on. IT
i thought maybe you were going to go To it's, like,
uh it's like marrying your your high school. Crush but

(01:55:25):
she's got a divorce in two. KIDS i like that comp. Better, Actually,
okay so you're, divorced stay with me on. This you
go to your high school, Reunion, Okay and there she
is and all her glory a little heavier than YOUR
i thought you thought she was gonna some crows feet

(01:55:47):
in the. Eyes she needs some work, done or has
had some work. Done it maybe. Not i'm going one hundred.
Percent and she's got the two kids.

Speaker 10 (01:55:57):
She.

Speaker 1 (01:55:58):
Was she's been. Divorced, OH i hate to tell you.
This she's been divorced. Twice oh, no, no it's too.
Much but the benefit is she can take a strike.
One you don't want to be. Strikeing she's not looking
for a long term. Relationship, oh she's not looking to
get married. Again, okay it's a one year deal with an. Option,
well there's a chance to build on a, relationship but
you're not getting married three year. Commitment, yeah but she's

(01:56:22):
got a list of three teams that Are i'm, sorry
three guys that she wants long term deals. With, no
they're not long. Term this Is i'm not hearing a
long term under Und i'm hearing this suppus two MORE
i guess long term for thirty seven year old, maybe
but that puts them at forty when the deals are. Done,
yeah that's pretty. Old but it's not long. Term it's
not long. TERM i think it is kind of long.

(01:56:44):
Term you can be locking things up at least you
can be shacking up all, right twice, divorce say that
this was your dream girl you, loved you loved her
for a long. Time, yeah but things are. DIFFERENT i
would Take Kevin. Durant i'm gonna tell you. WHY i

(01:57:06):
would still Take Kevin durant. Too the, ten number ten
draft pick does nothing for. Me, now if they give
the number ten draft, pick keep, it that's. FINE i
can live with that. Too i'm Just i'm so bullish
On Ema A dooka's relationship with so many players in
the league THAT i Think Kevin durant would love to

(01:57:29):
play for. Him and the reality, is and you hear
this not just from, me from other, people there are
a lot of people that would like to play For
Ema doka because he is first of, all pretty close
in our. Ages second of, all he's been there and done,
that he worked his way up the. Top no bs,
er he ain't politically correct. Played the game. Played the
game coach the game comes on this show and will

(01:57:51):
tell you That god's on his truth whether you want
to hear it or. Not doesn't sugarcoat, things which some
players don't. Like BUT i think the best, players the
best players appreciate the. Honesty and that's a double. TALK
i Think Kevin durant would as.

Speaker 3 (01:58:02):
Well.

Speaker 1 (01:58:03):
YEP i it would be, tough BUT i would do
it because you do get the that that's certain something
that you need to push towards championship, success and that
is the the the alpha, dog no doubt about. It
when you as you get deeper and deeper in the,
playoffs which this as This rockets, team by the, way

(01:58:26):
was out in the first. Round let's not, forget, yeah
you every everybody's, good everybody's, great every coach is. Good
the game plan for. Everything you cannot game plan For
Kevin durant going ten to thirteen from the. Field but
the argument it would be you. Can't you can game
plan For Kevin durant if he's hurt a lot and
is on the. Court but that's an If i'll tell

(01:58:47):
you WHAT i do, Know i'll tell you he can
go off for a thirty to thirty five or, forty
and he gave a night against. ANYBODY i don't know
if he's going to be. HURT i don't. Know if
J Jalen green's played eighty two games in the last two,
seasons maybe you could say that he's he's due to be.
Hurt who, Knows And i'm not saying that's. Happening i'm
just saying we're dealing WITH unknowtnes and it is a.
Risk it would be a huge. Risk BUT i think

(01:59:10):
now the question is are The rockets as an organization
ready to take that first risk since this, redevelopment because
really they. Weren't there wasn't a risk In Van, vliet In.
Brooks you just paid a lot to get them and
it worked. Out they're. Better this seems better. Today you,

(01:59:31):
Know i'm. Trying what's the risky thing they've done in
the last five. Years, honestly the last five, Years i'll
tell you. What abandoning ship and getting rid of everybody
that was pretty. Risky, well trading Away james Harden. IS
i Guess James letting got a good. Deal not Resigning
Chris paul kind of training Into Oklahoma. City, Uh i'm

(01:59:56):
trying to think beyond that now that they haven't. Anything
there's been nothing, risky and there's a little nervousness about
it and anything you. Do and that's why you AND
i are having this conjecture over this right. Now, Yeah,
look if they want to trust the process and Say
green's gonna get, Better shagun's gonna get, BETTER a man

(02:00:17):
definitely has the biggest room for, GROWTH i, think and
that's where the basketball. Minds either you're a great basketball
mind or you're praying and hoping that they self. DEVELOP i,
Mean Jalen, green there's just published report, saying, HEY i
want to get. BETTER i want to BE i don't
want to be this repeat guy THAT i was last,
Year easier said than. Done i'm not ready to give

(02:00:39):
up a Jailing green, either but you have to give
up something to get, something AND i JUST i don't
think they want to move away from out. Prenching there's
a difference between. GUY i Think Jalen green will be
a GOOD nba. PLAYER i think he's gonna play for
ten years plus AND i think he's going to be
a good twenty two to twenty five point score at
a certain level of, efficiency but blossoming can beyond. That

(02:00:59):
i'm just not. Sure All, right there we go seven
one three two one two five seven ninety. Call still
pouring in on The Kevin durant should be A Houston,
Rocket astros getting ready to start a series In. Sacramento
all Things, sacramento believe it or. Not, Today, yes Second

Why this cold afh it's. Brutal it hurts your. Bones
Dame lillard didn't want to go To, milwaukee but he.
Did he sign an extension with. THEM i can't remember exactly.
What and, then of course he tore a kills and
there's some sort of player option with his. CONTRACT i can't. Remember. Hm, oh,

(02:11:04):
yeah there's a player option for next. YEAR i guess
not this, upcome not twenty six but twenty. Seven if
cold weather was a, detriment which in some cases it can,
be why then why doesn't Every southern team in sports?

Speaker 14 (02:11:18):
Good?

Speaker 1 (02:11:19):
Uh because, managers you can only have a certain number
of players per. Team it's A i, mean it's a cap.
League you can Only, yeah it's just it's, YEAH i,
mean nobody Like utah. Can't utah cannot grab free agents
unless you, overspend because It's utah New york is.

Speaker 7 (02:11:38):
Cold.

Speaker 1 (02:11:39):
Yeah The New york's one of those dynamic. Studies, yes
some call it the greatest city In, america in the. World,
eh nice place to. Visit wouldn't want to, Live, okay
is that fair with? You that's. FINE i don't. Care,
OKAY i can't afford to live.

Speaker 12 (02:11:51):
There.

Speaker 1 (02:11:52):
Yeah by the, way it Is game five tonight of
THE Nba finals In Oklahoma, city nine and a half
point favorites The Oklahoma City. Thunder. YEAH i thought for
the first two and a half, quarter Shake Yildes alexander
was like he wanted to take a, nap and then
in the fourth quarter he went. Bonkers he was getting torched,
defensively they were they were hunting him.

Speaker 6 (02:12:12):
Out.

Speaker 1 (02:12:13):
Yeah, now of, COURSE i mean among the other options
defensively for The, thunder hunting Out Gillig, alexander WHO i
think is a good, defender not, great, yep when he's.
Healthy but he was also kind of gimping. AROUND i was.
Tired and then he got the free throw, line made
some shots in the mid. Range, huh and they just pulled.
Away he made some Huge one more thing about THE.
NBA i think we're done for the. Day, okay did

(02:12:35):
you see and hear What Rick, carlile The pacers coach
did the other day before the. GAME i did. NOT
i don't think.

Speaker 7 (02:12:46):
He went.

Speaker 1 (02:12:47):
ON i don't know how long it, was But Rick
carlile Defended Scott. Foster oh, Really, yeah that's. GOOD i
want to get you the colte. Here i'm Known Scott
foster thirty. Years he's a great. Official the ridiculous scrutiny
that's thrown out there is, terrible, unfair unjust and. Stupid get.

(02:13:11):
Him get.

Speaker 3 (02:13:12):
Him Rick.

Speaker 1 (02:13:13):
Carlisle, now a lot of, critics meaning everybody, fans, yes
thought he was terrible that a night in that, game
there was a, bit there was a big push off
that he missed From Shay Gelgis alexander down the. Stretch
but why is he wearing its compared to the other two.
Guys Because, It'scott because It's Scott. Foster, YEAH i mean

(02:13:33):
he's had obviously big run ins with most famously With Chris.
Paul they call him the, extender and so he extended the,
series which AGAIN i, say if you Think Scott foster
is manipulating the, outcome bet what you think he's, doing
then what he's there? For and you'll never lose and
you'll be a. Millionaire, yeah it is funny to. Me,
However scott missed two plus months with an, injury AND

(02:13:57):
i think it was a second time this year he'd
missed time an injury and he still got to call
playoff games and finals. Games so basically he was hired
off of. Reputation and how do you feel about Officials
and no matter what the sport, is being graded on.

(02:14:18):
Reputation don't you, think, though if every fan base hates,
him then he's probably doing a good job as a. Referee,
wow that's an easy answer to of. Course, yes but

(02:14:40):
there ARE i watched the LOOK i hate to bring
up The final four championship game, again but that was
uneven to say the very least with those the championship
Game florida Versus. Houston first half nothing was, called second half,
everything and then someone was called and it really irritated.
Me you couldn't get an ebb and flow in the.
Game foul count was astronomically fat quick on both. Sides

(02:15:04):
and so those three officials were hated by both. Sides
doesn't mean it was a greatly called. Game SO i
will say just because both fans sites of both sides
of the defense hate you doesn't mean you're a good. Official, okay,
Well i'm not talking about that. Game i'm talking About
Scott foster in. General do you think he calls bad?
Games do you think he makes bad calls all the?
TIME i will say, THIS i am more than any other.
KISHOT i don't know the scrutiny or what they look

(02:15:27):
at in terms of instant, replaying BUT i know that
THE nba spends a lot of money on its officials
and its evaluation of. Officials they take the video and
they look at it over and over and over and over. Again,
hmm there must be something he's doing. Right, well there
must be something he's doing. Right if the coach that
people say he's there to get his team to, lose

(02:15:49):
if he comes out and says all this scrutiny that
he's under is. Ridiculous, yeah that's one of the all
time great coach who's been who just lost the, game
by the, way and who's been played in THE nba
in the, eighties who's been around this league for forty plus. Years. Yeah,
YEAH i think referee hatred is too over the, top
and it frankly IF i talk to anybody and the

(02:16:13):
first thing they go to is that game sucked because
that official screwed my, TEAM i lose THEIR i think
their basketball intellect or sports intellect for that, matter suffers.
Little but now baseball maybe a little bit different BECAUSE
i got a box that shows the strike. Zone, yes
and that bad boy is right on. Target there is

(02:16:34):
no interpretation of that any that ball goes into the
zone and is called a strike or it's out of
the zone and not call a. Strike there's hard data on,
yeah balls and strikes and. Accuracy so that to, me
if you want to bash of, umpiring that's an easier
sell job for me than bashing of, fishing because AGAIN

(02:16:54):
i think basketball fishing is the most difficult thing you
can do in terms of. Fishing but, again if you
chose a professional when she was a seven year old
to say you're gonna become a basketball, official you decide
you want to be a, colleger and OUR nba official
screony is gonna come with it because it's it's the fastest,
sport it's the spontaneous, calls and there's gonna be room
for how much contact is. Allowed there's no computer stopping

(02:17:18):
the game and going freeze. Foul where baseball you watch a,
game pitch thrown cross the, plate strike, ball and most
of the fouls that happened at the end of that
game and, game what was it for? You they showed
it Like Shay Gillis alexander was getting hit on the.
Wrist there was contact and that's the beauty of it.

(02:17:40):
Too if you think this is like the worst calls
that are being, made then why isn't the coach of
challenging because you only get one CHALLENGE i know. Two, actually,
well if it's so obvious and, bad then the coach would.
CHALLENGE i don't. KNOW i just my feeling IS i
think we're always as fans gonna be able to criticize these.
Things playing a bunch of, whiners star players and. Officiating

(02:18:04):
those are the three easy ones to just take shots,
at and sometimes it's. Justified but As i've said them
many many, TIMES i think at the end of the,
day it all tends to even, out and nobody wants
to hear, that especially if it's a call against your.
Team light in the, Contest BECAUSE i can tell you
WHEN i was watching the championship game Between florida And
houston In San. ANTONIO i was losing my mind over

(02:18:25):
the fact that every five seconds of call was made
or in the first, half there was an app and
flow to the game we didn't have in the second.
Half AND i don't think that the ten players are
eleven or twelve players that played in that. Game all
of a sudden it became these uber aggressive guys in a. Second,
WELL i think a lot of those calls were. Warranted
The university Of Houston cougars have found people every, no
every trip down the. Show we don't commit. Fouls we

(02:18:45):
know they're a very, tough tenacious. Defense it's just it's
great called great. Defense they play, hard for, sure but
they rock a bunch of fouls because they're very. Physical
foul calls that were remained in the FIRST i didn't
think the officiating was bad in that. Game that's because
you didn't say the WAY i saw.

Speaker 13 (02:19:00):
It.

Speaker 1 (02:19:03):
Mosca you you were, you you had A you weren't paying.
Attention you're probably at the game just on your. Phone
that was not on my. Phone the amount of MONEY
i pay for those, TICKETS i was on on my.
Phone one at twenty eight On Sports talk seven and
we have a half hour left to. Go Ross, wood
you can get to the next, SEGMENT.

Speaker 7 (02:19:20):
Nba.

Speaker 1 (02:19:20):
Final we're done WITH nba clearly the number of Ty
durant calls of Take the ratings are down for game. Four,
NO i don't, care. Okay also The Stanley Cup final
ratings are, Down, matt so they know we'll get a
full breakdown from you on. That, no, no we're. Not
matt's top five reasons THE Nhl Stanley Cup final ratings are.
Down coming up? Next how about? This guess who thinks

(02:19:41):
he's going to have a new facility pretty? Soon practice,
Facility your beloved Show, spot your beloved football team one
twenty eight On Sports talk seven ninety seven one three
two one two five seven ninety seven one three two
one two five seven nine Zero club thirty four On
Sports talk seven Ninety Matt, Thomas Rossville, Reale Jonathan allen's our,

(02:20:04):
producer believe it or, Not all Things sacramento coming up
in about fifteen minutes from. Now also, tomorrow we've got
gut feelings Manager Joe spot will join us From, Sacramento. California,
again it's really really. BIZARRE i was In vegas this.
Weekend The a's for those who have been In vegas.

(02:20:24):
Before The Tropicana hotel is no. More they have cleared.
It it is now Just land and that'll be with
the home of the NEW A, Stadium, Okay AND i
think it's gonna be like thirty thousand seeds something like.
THAT i, mean they're really gonna have to rely ON

(02:20:45):
i guess they're not gonna rely on ticket revenue to
be a huge part of how they make their. Money,
right not opening until twenty twenty, eight and it should
be thirty three thousand. Fans it'll have an, OVERHANG i,
think but not a, roof, right like not a?

Speaker 3 (02:20:59):
Roof?

Speaker 1 (02:21:00):
Yeah? Correct, Yeah so you play eighty one home games
at thirty three thousand a, pop that's what two five
million would be the most you be able to. Have
usually you really get into this, huge big money territory
when you start drawing three. Million just start charging. More
that's what it's going to, be, Right that's what you
have to. Do but then it's, LIKE i don't know
it does it become a tourist. Attraction SO i had

(02:21:21):
a friend of mine who used to work with The.
Rockets he works for THE ufc In Las, vegas and
he AND i had a lunch On, friday AND i,
said what's it like going to A raiders? Game you,
know A legion stadium is what we. Play and he,
says it's usually about sixty percent of the other team's.
Fans so, like so far In. La so think about.

(02:21:42):
This you have two majestic new, facilities the two newest,
ones and both of them are occupied primarily by the
fans of the other team coming. In they don't. Care
no tickets, sold to tickets take at sold tickets. Sold
MAYBE i promise You, ross as long as The rockets
are not, playing you AND i will be at the

(02:22:04):
first Astros as game at that new. Ballpark, okay in
twenty twenty. Eight we'll, see will. SEE i, mean It's
i'm telling. You you got my, TICKET i will get
EVERYTHING i Tell, yeah, okay let's. Go, Yeah i'm just
as my gift to. YOU i appreciate. That i'm writing this.
Down by the, way, now if they put this in the,
file if they're play in Early, april you're kind of.

(02:22:26):
Screwed that's, Fine but you AND i will do shows
From vegas at some point in twenty twenty eight with
The astros in the ace unless The rockets are in
THE Nba, finals. Can't i'm ready imagine if how and
how Tough i'd be If Jalen green's dropping thirty a,
game shingoon twenty five and, twelve number ten Pick Thompson

(02:22:49):
shepherd is knocking back three pointers left and, right really getting,
Crazy cam went more huge six man contribute off the. Bench,

(02:24:59):
Close is it close to A Yosemite National? Park Two
fresnos a few hours? Back, yeah it's not bad at.
All that's. Good, yeah it's only three hours To. Yosemite
have you been To yosemite? YET i have. Not it's
on the. List where's where's your next? Spot i've been To, Sequoia,
yeah And King's. Canyon you Mentioned Joshua, tree, Right, YES
i would, say Great. Basin it's going to be on

(02:25:21):
the short list the next. ONES i want to go
To yosemite as well and have wolves to try to attack.

Speaker 8 (02:25:26):
You.

Speaker 1 (02:25:26):
Yet, No i've never been attacked by an. Animal about
a lion or. Bear there's no lions in The United
states unless they're they're trapped in a. Zoo well that's,
true that's. True oh real. Quick we mentioned this before
we got to went to the. Break so Story dad
in The chronicle about The texans have said they have
had tremendous interest in an area to build a brand

(02:25:49):
new practice, facility not, stadium but practice, facility, okay and
that they would have to pay for all the costs,
obviously but maybe they would get a tack at break
on the. Land the most abundant part of land still
In Harris county is that By energy. Park think about
the where asterold is is? Nothing uh? Huh build it?

(02:26:13):
There why? Not because apparently what they would like to
have is they want to have as much, uh their
offices are. All they want everybody, Together they want the football,
facide they want the, administration they want all their employees
in one. Building and that makes plenty of. Sense you,
know The rockets built their own facility and that was

(02:26:35):
cool and, everything but it doesn't do anything for the
general public in, order it's this facility for The. Texans
so it's it's an anecdotal. Thing but unless you're tying
it to what they want to do in building a new,
stadium THAT i don't think it's that much of a.
Story but at least it was brought up in the chronicle,
Today SO i don't you. Know, now the question is
you don't obviously want To you want to have your

(02:26:57):
practice facility in your, headquarters probably close to your. State
so that'd be probably a little bit of a sign
as to where you would like to, potentially you, know
whether they refurbish energy or build a new facility over.
THERE i don't, know but according to the New texans,
president there's tremendous interest in having a facility like The
star In plano where where The cowboys work out, now

(02:27:19):
they also have an Indoor States. Frisco, Yeah, Plano. Frisco
they have an indoor facility that seats twelve thousand people
and they have high school games in there all the,
time and graduation suations went. On that makes a lot of.
SENSE i don't, KNOW i think they'd do concerts there or,
not BUT i think The stars trying to. Busy, Yeah
jerry got to try to make some money out of

(02:27:40):
that thing, SOMEHOW i. Bet oh, yeah. YEAH i, mean
If i'm The, Texas i'm building something very similar to,
that BECAUSE i MEAN i imagine playing an indoor game
and it's in the Hot texas On fridays And. Saturdays
place to be jam. Packed sounds. Good but what do
we do with that's land across the street on. Sixteen
it's not much of my. Concern Ford, Center, Yeah, okay

(02:28:07):
yeah at The. Star how? Far how long Has astoro
been gone thirty, years two thousand and. ONE i think
it's been that gone that? Long huh twenty four years,
THEN i, mean, look it wouldn't that be a sign to,
anybody forget if it was a sports hutter or, not
that that area has just been nothing that they would

(02:28:27):
think maybe there's a reason for. THAT i put an.
Asherol the first thing comes up Is Travis scott's. Tragedy that's. Terrible,
yeah looks like it closed in two thousand and. Five
oh so it's twenty Years october of. Five so that
land's been empty for twenty years and nothing's been done

(02:28:49):
to it except parking spaces pretty. Much it haven't happened by.
Now is something gonna happen with it in the. FUTURE
i don't. KNOW i just it's it's just weird that
that era meant that there's obviously somebody saying something in

(02:29:10):
that area that it's not worth investing. IN i guess
we'll see what, happened because that's the spot where you
put your. Facilita you're talking about all the bells and,
whistles you're close to. Energy, YEAH i don't. Know what
The i'm sure there's some sort of red. Tape who
knows The Lando meand do The texans own that land and?

Speaker 7 (02:29:30):
Energy?

Speaker 1 (02:29:30):
Yeah who lowns?

Speaker 13 (02:29:31):
It?

Speaker 1 (02:29:31):
Yeah but uh, yeah twenty gods in twenty years since.
ASTROOLD i loved that astrolt in the. Summers, yeah we all.
