I just point in the you know, one eyed lady
that don't speak English, gets a job done, and I
hand her eight bucks and we move on. We're the thickest,
biggest I've ever seen in my entire life. I literally

had my vertebrae sore for like a half an hour.
Give me forty, give me four. Oh my god, it Ross,
I'd be so excited forty percent from three. I don't
wet my pants over that. Excuse me, but that's still
that for a guy to a girl four inches bigger. No,
that's that's significant. Is Monday the suck off. I don't
care what it soundby you playing. Just play something that's

(00:49):
gonna piss us off right now, Connor, just play anything.
I don't care what it is. From today. You're trying
to pick up the nine point five. Then she goes
home with someone else. Guess what you got to scramble
to something?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I remember that.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Seven more fun, Matty seven, them do more things that
as much work. I gotta go. You gotta go. Fewer drinks,
less cuddling, zero sugar squirt and excuse me, squirt the grapefood.
So do you like a squirt? It's delicious? Snoring about
you never had a squirt?

Speaker 4 (01:19):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Not in years? Well, I'll bring you some. You can
have one of my squirts. I want nothing to do
with your squirts. Oh God, the things we say. What
is wrong with you? You've got issues? I love that grape soda.

(01:46):
What's it called, Matt squirt? You can't get enough squirt,
especially now that it's sugar free. It's very hard to find.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
They call it.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I guess they call Connor. Are you sure you have
to leave?

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Yeah, that one's my all time favorite. That's why I
say it for the last ones. Oh my gosh. If
I've ever got dad, I just put that one on.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
But you can keep it. You gotta keep a folder
at home now. And by the way, uh, we gotta
we gotta do a better job. The next producer, whatever
his name is, it's got to do a better job
of Jonathan. He's here, Jonathan. We gotta make sure that
we get other shows involved. I know Adam and Adams
say things that are that should be, that should be
on their producers. Yeah, so whoever's producing those shows, no

(02:38):
step step up their game. I know you don't take
time to learn the little people. Matt, so well, well
i'll keep I know Jonathan's name it is. I just
told it to you that I had to guess. God,
I had to guess. I'll be I'll be your liaison
to Matt Jonathan Jonathan, We're gonna speak to the little people.
He only likes to be in five diamond hotels and

(02:58):
take private jets. I mean that is accurate, but I do.
I will speak to Jonathan. Okay, we got a lot.
I's gonna speak at him. I'd prefer with we have
a lot of he's got a lot of training. This
show is very complex. It's why. It's what we've done
the last fifteen years.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Well that's true.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I mean we've built the lineup's been stable in the midia.
We haven't moved around. I swear not so much. Good

want to get to on the phone lines, we can
do it here on the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.
If you want to talk about the huge, massive matchup
the Rockets have with the Dallas Mavericks tonight, we can
get to that as well as the Chicago Bulls. I'm

(03:59):
gonna start working on this Dall MAVs prep a little
bit here in the next few minutes. Yeah, they have
no players left. The injury report took up two pages
of text. Yeah, they're they're tanking. It's not a soft
take either. It's a hard take is what they're going for.
They're in the tenth spot in the Western Conference. They
don't want to be in there. I know they don't
want to be in it, but they're in it. They're
winning the championships because Phoenix won't win either. Yeah, well

(04:22):
that thanks to the Houston Rockets. Let's see, Astros have
spring training stuff going on. We can get into that.
You have the Texas Longhorns defeating the Texas a and
m Aggie's winning this season series knocking them out of
the SEC tournament. We can discuss that now. That game
yesterday was between a two thirty ish and five o'clock. Yes,

(04:45):
and he actually went to double over started at like
two fifty because the previous game. When you're telling me
that Craig Way did a fifty minute pregame show for
a basketball game, us, Oh god, what was that boy?
A lot of Rodney Terry podium talk. I'm sure rest
in peace to Adam and Adams rank ratings over the mean, Oh,
come on, Longhorn basketball, that's gotta beat Adam neat Have

(05:06):
you heard their show?

Speaker 6 (05:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
You know at the time have bad thought and Texas
Longhorn pregame or the eighteen? What would you rather listen to?

Speaker 7 (05:16):
Seven?

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Kid? Don't call it on that seven one. I would
rather listen to the eighteen. I love the eighteen. Oh,
I can't get enough of it. Anyways, Then the game
was on and then it was a double all the
time time? Yes, where frankly, I mean, look and I
and I've stoked to this before. My son, my middle son, Peyton,
will be graduating May eighth. By the way, if you
want to send gifts to him, he'd be I'm sure

(05:39):
he'd appreciate that. I never sent a gift to your
first time when he graduated as supposed to. And my
daughter's high school graduation is coming up next May. So good.
I'm tapped out. You're invited. It's okay, seven good food. Okay,
where from the house. We're gonna we're gonna bread our
cheese sticks? Oh at the house. Yeah, you're gonna have
a handbreaded sticks station. Yes we are. It's good to

(06:02):
call the Sports RV Acceptance Factory or that. Yeah, put
a little salt on it and you'll be fine. Yeah,
it's a little flavors, all the masking. That's all you're
asking for. And it's not out of the question. No
reason why can't pull assault on those cheese sticks. All right,
let's move on. All right, by the way, this partyment
have we have? You know, we've got a sand volleyball
court in our backyard. No, I didn't know that you
got a sand volleyball court in your didn't know that? Actually, yeah,

(06:22):
and then we're putting I'm going to get some more
banners today. You said my name's going to be up there, right,
it is. You're going to be on the Hall of
honor in your sand villain. I'm going to get our
friends at Cronberg's flags and flag poles do banners, and
I'm going to pick up the banners today. And one
of the banners has our logo, our name of our
show on the banner. So you will be in my
backyard on the banner. Where's my my pictures on there too?

Speaker 7 (06:42):
No?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
No, no, that's too expensive. My pictures don't even on there.
But if there's gould be one person with a picture,
probably me. I don't want people throwing volleyballs at my face. Yeah, exactly,
it's a target bullseye. Where are we going with this?
I don't know you were were you talking about the aggies?
That's my middle sign is good and graduating this dismay,
and he lives and he sports through and through, he

(07:05):
lives and dies all things. And I was really worried
about him in the end of regulation, and then I think,
I don't know what happened, but the light bulb went
off in his head that when the game got to
overtime and then the second over tenants almost like you
and I don't know if you've ever had this before
in your life, but when you watch your favorite team
play a bunch of overtimes? Does the loss hurt a

(07:28):
little bit less? Like, let's just get this game over with.
That's what I think he went through yesterday because he
wasn't really that mad, Absolutely true. I'm like, I don't
even care anymore. This is in the game. Please, Like
when A and remember when A and M and L
SHU played football many years ago, I went like, seven overtimes,
did anybody particularly care about who won at that point?
To to just get the game over with? I'm with you.
So he was upset, but he wasn't like on the

(07:53):
edge of just mass destruction. He was mad about the
free throws that were being missed. And in the acting
they missed I mean, gotta be half the free throws,
and the ain't a kid at twenty they missed thirteen
free throws, and the Longhorns miss eight free throws. Everybody
was missing free throws. And then somehow the big man
by the way for the Texas Longhorns, Kaden Shedrick, who's
not a good free throw shooter, went ten for ten.
That guy, Trey what's his name, Trey Johnson was awesome

(08:16):
the first half and then didn't hear where was he
in the second half. I don't know. Some people haven't
mocked in the top five. Just saying that means the
NBA drive sucks. He's fine, he led the SEC. Shut up,
you know what, I'm not even gonna let you talk.
You you watch five minutes of Trey Johnson and you're
making a scouting report. You have no idea what you're
talking about. Thomas out of your ass. Thomas Enterprises is

(08:38):
not pollish on Trey Johnson. He led the SEC in
scoring number one. Okay, you know when I have my
Manti NBA draft, I'm not talking back to my point though.
And then Buzz Williams calls two timeouts in these weirdo
Randall places as the shots are go up shortly after

(08:59):
he called as the timeouts. Both of them were A
and M three pointers that were attempted as soon as
the timeout was called, and both were made. So I said,
I'm gonna go check on Buzz on Twitter and see
how things are going. Look, it didn't go well. People
were not happy, No, they were not. Anyway, it looks
good in a nice three piece suit every time, although
does is still look a little smaller? Is it?

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Is?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
It just perfectly tailored. I thought it looked well tailored. Yeah. Yeah,
he looked like he was going to be in like
a who done it? I just knives out three. I
am all about the quarter zip as. I wear them
six times a week, so uh, including manning quarterszip, guys,
that's more of a half zip. Okay, whatever, half quarter
whatever you want to call it. Yeah, it's a third zip.

(09:39):
It's very comfortable, and I think coaches should be comfortable,
especially Rhnni Terry calling timeouts up and down the floor.
Your boy is not gonna stay by the way they Yeah,
I don't. I don't, my boy, Well you can't. You can't. Again,
what I've learned about college and professional coaching is you
can't let a single game determine whether or not a
coach days the lost dot not the lost odds. Chris

(10:03):
del Conte, the athoughtic director at the University of Texas,
has had his mind made up, probably for weeks, I hope.
So I just don't think. I think it's the little things.
He's a decent enough coach, but he's not well. It's
not like Longhorn basketball has this great storied history, but
it has it should have some prestige and he's not
to that level. Yeah, so again, I don't think he

(10:24):
stays regardless of whether they make the tournament or I mean,
coach has been going to the tournament for years and
have been fired shortly after that, so that would not
be out of the ordinary. Yeah, just making the tournament
should not be the bar with Texas Longhorns basketball, and
that has become the bar with Rodney's. Reality is you've
got a firm recruiting base, You've got plenty of ANL money,
you have a gorgeous arena, you have an excellent school,
you've got great facilities. There's no reason why Texa shouldn't

(10:46):
be a top fifteen team every year period. Agree, And
they still haven't made a final for US. It's two
thousand and three. M m M all right seven one
three two one two five seven untight? Is that anything
goes Friddy Ross explaining the essence if anything goes to
Friddy plea. I did that five minutes ago, but I'll
do it again. Anything you want to get to on
the phone lines at seven one three two one two
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five

(11:09):
seven nighty on topic off topic, sports not sports related.
If you're going out for Saint Patrick's Day this weekend
and you need some tips from Matt Thomas, you can
call in with those. Now that's on Monday. Correct. Sat
patrick Day's on Monday. But you know the drunks are
gonna be drinking their green beer on Saturdays and Sunday.
I'm sure are we allowed to use a horrific Irish
voice stereotypes? We would never do such things not here

(11:31):
and do Irish accents and make fun of the Irish
people here on the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Do
you think you could pull that off? To Saint Patrick's Day,
the most holy of all days all the calendar?

Speaker 8 (11:43):
Like?

Speaker 2 (11:43):
There are people that are professional actors and actresses, yes,
that use a dialect dialect coach, like, for instance, Shive
on Succession. Okay, she's from overseas someone and she's a
very thick accent. Okay, you could never hear it because

(12:03):
she spoke in American dialect on the entire show. Okay,
Kate Winsley too, if I'm not mistaken, right, has the
Kate Winslett? Yes, she's done some acting as an American.
Everybody gets a dialect coaches Matt. So here's we're gonna
do it when I want you guys today, Zewgiger as
Bridget Jones. Yea, I mean we can go through. So
what I want? What I don't want to use. I

(12:23):
don't want you to do it for four hours today
because I'd be annoying as hell? Why not what I
want you? When you do the Crawford box cast, which
the largest, about twenty minutes, tune into it down. Do
do people love the Crawford Box Cast? I've seen the
numbers are not great. No, actually really good? Twenty five?
Can you do twenty minutes of Irish dialect? During that
twenty minutes of Irish dialogue? That seems a little excessive.
How would you like me to talk about Catam Smith

(12:44):
in right field for the Houston Astros and how he's
going to fit in? When should they put him on
the forty nine roster. I'm not gonna do that, Matt.
It's exhausting, isn't it. I was in my control. No,
it didn't hurt, and my brain turned off and I
just started talking like that, turn this music off. So
the problem is I run into accidentally running into Mac
Brown talk and that's what gets me in trouble. That's true,

(13:05):
because that's what Mac Brown and whatever my Irish name
would be, Russell vittley out. It's a little it's a
little lengthy, and I get to talk about the Astros
right field situation, whether Cam Smith will make the team.
Where is Mac Brown right now? Probably in Austin, hanging
out with Sally having some of that. He's like Austin

(13:26):
Peach Cobbler. He's on the boat blasting some Christopher Cross.
I'm on the boat right now. I'm thinking back, going
back to the property and getting deer corn out and
feeding the kids on the lake. What's the lake up there?
Like Travis? Like Travis, Yeah, like Travis or Lake Austin
or Lady Bird Lake. Yeah, that's true. There are a
lot of lakes Austin, Thriving city, traffic, hot mess ten fifteen.

(13:48):
It is the Matt Thomas Shall with Ross seven one
three two one two five seven eights and anything goes Friday,
by the way, Colin Today and wish Connor d McGovern.
The very best is he gets a real job with
benefits and salary, and I believe he's getting a page.
You're in a company car, which is really nice for
all the things he's getting here. So it's Connor's last
show seven one, three, two.

Speaker 9 (14:05):
Five seven, Nutty, Matt Thomas, Ross Viel It's the Matt
Thomas Show with Ross on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 10 (14:28):
Using on the balance off the Tugler screen use on
top of the key, Usan backs it away, launches another
three got it mi Low's Usan has twelve second half
points in the Cougar lead back to fourteen.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Tray Johnson.

Speaker 11 (14:43):
Pope trying to drive past Taylor, goes in and wrap
around pass out to Johnson. Tray a long three God
Johnson knocks it down.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
The top five selection trade Johnson not a lottery pick
to keep it safe, one and done, five star, one
of the top recruits in the country, and I feel bad. Well,
hopefull they're gonna make the tournament now, I wanted to
make the tournament. He was the only reason I wanted
the Longhorns to make the tournament. That I was like, whatever,
So if you have a super dynamic player like that,
you can go squeeze a victory out right, yeah, or

(15:15):
even two. But he he kind of As the season
has worn on, hasn't been as as dynamic as he
was earlier in the year. I don't know if that's
there or what. I mentioned this in the last segment
worth repeating. I don't think you. I think Krystal County's
got the job already figured out. The only way you
could possibly change it is that the if the Longhorns

(15:36):
make it the Sweet sixteen, then I think they would
be a little bit of what are you doing taking
a Sweet sixteen coach and firing him? And that and
that does happen in sports. You have You've had teams
going this incredible run, But incredible would be first of
all getting in the tournament and then winning two tournament games. Yeah,
and then it would probably be like you said, I

(15:57):
mean Trey Johns. I mean they have some other good
players and Alfred Klum and Tremon Mark has been pretty good,
come on strong when he hasn't been hurt three schools
in four years. I think his couche transcript looks right now.
I don't know, I think he really even cares well.
He kept on upgrading in school, Houston to Arkansas to Texas.

(16:20):
I don't academically Harvard to Southeast Texas. Don't think oh
please Arkansas over Houston. Really say say it with a
straight face. Go ahead, let me check the US and
News and World Report. Wait, nobody even reads that. What
are you talking about? Okay, I'm just looking at what
are you looking up? The statu Post diversity rankings? Okay,

(16:41):
we're waiting. You really want? Okay? Yeah, this is not
gonna end well for me. I know it. That's fine.
It might. Let's see Arkansas is Oh, they're trying to
get a number of ranked number one hundred and three
in public schools. Okay, Oh my god? Can we make
it the top one o two? University Houston clearly popped up.

(17:03):
Hold on, wait a while, I mean, we don't do anything.
Encount the University of Houston number seventy four. Oh thank god,
I was nervous for a second. You check Rhode Island
for me, real quick? Hold on, I'm checking the University
of Texas Austin number seven. No, there's no doubt about that.
How about A and M? Hold on? You wanted Rhode Island,

(17:26):
right Island College, University, University of Rhode On, Kingston, Rhde
Island eighty one? Okay, all right, that's fine. This feels
good for Carly. Good for her. Texas Techas and then
in and I'm just checking out my family. I've spent
I'm spending money already and I'm about to spend. Someone
saying number twenty one, that's very good. Damn all right,

(17:46):
it's good. Gig them Texas Tech University, number one sixteen.
It's worse than Houston. I like, it's worse than Arkansas.
Would you see the weather coaming the Red Raiders doing
out there? Well, I mean when when you can buy
when you can buy a bush light at Walmart, things changed, Yeah,
I said, when you then put it in the baby
bottles out there, that's what they do, don't you be smirch?

(18:09):
Love it? I like loveck a lot. I'm sure it's wonderful.
I've never been and it's not on the bucket list.
It's not, but I I've been probably five times in love.
But every time accidentally drive twelve hours in there on direction,
I'll be there and I'll check it out. It's you
can get there nine and a half bec you have
to probably skip eating, yeah, just gassing and going pee
all right? Seven one three, two, one two five seven

(18:30):
eight to anything goes friddy. Uh, I will say this.
I love this time of year, and I think people
will love the brackets when they come out because that'll
be officially on Sunday. These college tournaments have been really good.
We've had a bunch of buzzer beaters. It's been good.
We had the games between A and M and Texas
yesterday and oh, by the way, the folks in Kansas

(18:51):
City are not happy today. Do you see who's left
in the Big Twelve Tournament? What happened? Houston? That's great,
Texas Tech uh huh? Arizona. Good teams BYU Okay, okay,
good teams. So let's deal in reality. These are businesses.
You need hotel rooms filled, not an issue, okay. Plenty

(19:16):
of availability in Kansas City. You need tickets in the
building sold, not it's an issue. Plenty of available seats
available for all remaining portions of the Big Twelve Tournament.
Because the two schools that are closest to Kansas City
that have had great fan bases is Kansas and Ohio State.
That's why they have it. They have it in Kansas.

(19:36):
They rig it. It's rigged every year for a bunch
of people from Kansas to show up. So you know what,
I'm glad Kansas lost early and by the way, it's
splitting there until twenty thirty one when Texas was in
the Big twelve year after year. I always had to
deal with that as a Texas fan, to where it's
basically home court advantage for Kansas every year. Yeah, they
used to rotate it, and then at some point they're like,
now we're gonna do Kansas City every year because we

(19:57):
sell a bunch of tickets. They're thinking about doing Vegas.
This is certainly in the mix. But can't bretton your Mark,
the commissioner Big twelve, said, yeah, the guarantees is too
good in case exactly, you've got a billion Kansas fans
in there. But advans it's unfair. But the biggest problem is,
besides the seats being empty and the hotels being available,
one of the four teams their fans don't drink, and

(20:18):
alcohol is a huge part of the community. I know
it's not Cougars fans. Well, we can Cougar fans. We
have a few beverages. That's fine. Was we celebrate that
we're supposed to do in college responsibly, of course, So
what do you mean they're the Cougars fans aren't fall
flying up there and filling out the seats. So you're
talking about it one seed team, one of the top
teams in the country. Why isn't Why is because we're
saving our money. Why isn't the arena full? We're saving
our money for the tournament. But I thought, oh, he

(20:40):
had all these big money alums, Matt, they're there. I
saw him. I talked to one yesterday. Okay, by the way,
guess what I did yes year real quick, I don't know.
I looked at my Rocket schedule, and I looked at
the tournament, and the one game I can go to
will be Monday's National Championship game. Mhmm. I'm in the

(21:00):
Bay Area the night before. I'm going to call the
Rockets Warriors game, okay, and then I'm gonna jump on
a plane and fly to San Antonio from San Francisco.
Why are you need to do that to watch like
Auburn duke. No, because I believe the Cougars will be
playing for the National championship. They very well could be.
So I bought a plane ticket between San Francisco and

(21:21):
San Antonio, and then I'm gonna go back and rejoin
the team. You bought a ticket already. Yeah wow. And
I bought a look at the cubris and I bought
from San Antonio back to Los Angeles because the Rockets
will be in LA at that time. Okay, And I
got hotel and I'm ready to go, and I've secured
a ticket. Now I have to get two tickets. And

(21:41):
I notice you got to get to cancel these there
are Well, the airline is you can cancelings all the time.
One trip, I used a voucher that I had that
I could just use for more credit and then the
one's mile ings put the miles back in the account.
Do you use wild Cest, Well, I guess everybody gives
you airline credit. Now everybody does. That's one thing nice
about the industry. It used to only be leased to
charge you one fifty change fees plus on money on top,

(22:03):
which cool. Ridiculous. It was so terrible. But yeah, So
let me tell you, Houston sports fans and University Houston fans,
I have faith in my team that I will be
doing Monday, April. I think it's six. I think it's
what the day it is. The Matt Thomas Show ross
from San Antonio the night of the championship game. You're
Houston Cougars against probably Duke or Auburn. That reminds me,

(22:24):
did I send you twenty bucks?

Speaker 8 (22:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. I was looking for
some cash, all right. Ten thirty on The Matt Thomas Show,
at Ross and as Anything Goes Friday seven one three
two one two five seven ninety, please join us. We
are here to talk about the Astros outfield, to talk
about yet another Texans offensive lineman that has been signed.
We've got college basketball on the brain, the Rockets against

(22:46):
the Mavericks tonight. Lots of things to get to and
at eleven thirty your chance to call and say what
Ross shut your bum mass up? Nope, I know. I
just don't get it. No, m how are you believe
it or not know? It's I'm sorry. I feel like
you need to apologize for the last two respons you

(23:06):
just gave this show. Never seven seven ninety join us
on Anything Goes Friday.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Three to one.

Speaker 12 (23:16):
That's lifted in the air pretty deep to left, it
sends back. Al Tuove gets turned around on the warning track.
He leaps at the wall and he can't make the catch.
It hits off the wall. Herrera on his way to third, uh,
throwing it into third base as Myers, but not nearly
in time as it's a triple for Herrera. I wonder
if Altuve, with his inexperience out there in left field,

(23:39):
was unsure of how much further.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
He had to go.

Speaker 12 (23:42):
It would have been a difficult play he had he
made it, but it seemed like a ball that that
was potentially catchable.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
He never got there. But you're it hit a hit
eye off the wall and al Twove just was unable
to time that jump at the top of the fence
to come down with the baseball. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's fine, Rossie.
It's gonna be a work in progress. What's that the
work in left field? No, that's fine. They missed out

(24:11):
to jump. Anybody could have done it, Yeah, everybody, anybody
a certain percentage of the time, I mean probably the
majority of the time. He No, I think he catches
that over fifty percent of the time. Oh good, that question.
Who gets closer to one hundred? Him or I don't know,
Zach's Dezenzo or Maris u Dubon or whoever? What else

(24:32):
be out there? Oh, Jordan Alparetz would be out there
potentially Jordan probably catches that doesn't jump at all. Do
you think Jordan's like, Look, man, obviously he doesn't speak
a fluent English, but I like playing left field. I
think he does, and I think the aswers like, I'm
sure you do. Like like playing left field, You're not
going to do it? Yeah, that happens all the time.

(24:54):
Players want to do something and the organization says, we're
going to put you in a different direction. Yeah. Sorry,
That's how it works. And the greatest example, I think
in the history of baseball is, frankly again, Big Poppy
was told, you're never gonna play first space again, and
you're gonnadh the rest of your life, and you're gonna
be so good, you're gonna be a Hall of Famer.
And he was, Yeah, and he is, so Jord, I

(25:19):
enjoy most of the rest of your life is a
dh What I tell you, I think I had twenty
five games in left field max for him. Maybe the
only way I can put a number on it. But yeah,
the old way, ideally, that's what. Yeah, the way I
don't think. The only way that doesn't happen is if,
for instance, if Jose gets hurt for some reason and
you are really trying to scramble and move some guys around.
He could, he's gonna be thirty five. Don't don't don't

(25:43):
aigde shame him. I'm not age shaming him. I'm forty,
I know. And he looks way better than you do.
It's spectacular. He looks great. Yeah, Astro's Futures game. We're
gonna have it for you here on seven iey. We'll
start it with twelve fifty today. Okay, can't wait. I've

(26:04):
not seen a lineup card for it. It's it's like
a double header down. Then they're playing the first game
at one o'clock, and then they're playing the second game
and four. We're only going to carry the first game, wonderful,
which means the A team are actually gonna have to
do a little bit of a show. Today they were
at they were too much. Let's see one, two, one
o'clock first pace. They'll be on for like an hour,

(26:24):
which means probably Client will take the day off and
the hill Wax are coming and finish it off. That
sounds about right. He's very busy. How mad do you
think WEX was yesterday? The game with the double overtime,
I don't think he was that man, Well, I think
he was furious. He's a big, long worn guy. He's
happy they won. Yeah, but do you want to listen
to lots of pre and post game and the double
overtime when you got some Absolutely? I mean, weax got
a lot of material and wants to get to here.

(26:44):
Craig Waite breaking it down like a mudda. He was
doing bad your home for Longhorn Basketball Sports Stock seven
nine and people can't be happy enough about that. You're right,
So why hasn't college basketball ever really hit here?

Speaker 7 (27:03):
Now?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Remember, every part of the country doesn't love everything. For instance,
New York is a huge college basketball place. They don't
care about college football, No, not even I mean, who's
the best team in that area Rutgers. I guess it's
close to Well, you've got Army rut Curse Syracuse and
basketball school. No, you mean you don't. You don't have

(27:27):
very many options. Yeah, it's for whatever reason. I mean,
it's not a basketball hotbed, even though there's a lot
of talent that comes from here. Houston as a sports
town in general, doesn't really get feverish about stuff unless
they're the team is directly locally to your team too,
they locally and winning a lot, like the Rockets are
going to make the playoffs right now. That out on

(27:49):
Monday was pretty sad like yesterday now, Grant, people were
at work and you shouldn't use Twitter as a as
a measuring stick, but we do. It's just there were
very few tweets about the A and M Texas game.
And you would have thought anybody that was an A
and M or Texas fan when those two teams meet,
if it's in if it's in a rowing meet, they
would have You would think it'd be some blank talking.

(28:10):
I did see somebody on Twitter, I know who it was,
said that this is Texas's mid basketball team against an
A and M team has been in the top twenty
five this entire season and the Aggie still dropped two
or three. Little brother syndrome still in play. Yeah, that
wasn't me. I didn't say that. No, I would have
said it was you. The only thing I said was

(28:32):
the attention to detail is lacking, and Rode Terry needs
to go, Yes, you did you. You are not afraid
to bash your own. It is crazy though, that A
and M's basketball team on paper and record wise, and
they're paying and they're playing ross in the same conference.
Is significantly better they are than Texas made it even

(28:53):
close Texas. I mean, A and M's probably going to
be what a six or seven seed in the tournament.
And if A and M gets in is probably they're
gonna have to probably have to go to Dayton first
to play in that first four, unless they win the
tournament and really spike up to get it out of that.
But yet, man, damn, And that's part of the reason

(29:15):
why my middle is so upset, is it? You know,
it's one thing to lose to like l s U
or to Arkansas or to Kentucky, But the damn team
you listen to as a coach, that the fan base
of that particular school wants the coach out and you
couldn't put the final nail in the coffin. And it's
a real shame. I can you hear in your voice.
I can see you, guys, I can see it in

(29:35):
your smirk. Hmm. Longhorns aren't going to be able to
compete in the SEC. We're big bat A and M.
Spending all this money, ranked team and they eliminate you
from the SEC tournament. What a shame. That is just
that is just heartbreaking. I'm glad Peyton isn't listened to

(29:56):
the show. I'm a nice college graduation gift bully the
SEC and giving you a home football game even though
the last matchup was at your home in Kyle Field.
Don't even score until like the second half. Are they
playing each other this year? Yeah? In Austin. Oh yeah,
you're gonna be there. Depends on how much chickens are.

(30:18):
It can't be cheap exactly, those A and M Texas tickets.
And how my brother he's looking and getting back into
uh having season tickets. You know, your brother. But they
keep asking you to up the donations there in these
the longhorned people are insane. They want so much of
a donation for tickets. Do you have any idea I'm
not gonna know. Okay, I was just say I figures

(30:41):
for just to have the right donation and then you
have to buy the tickets.

Speaker 13 (30:48):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Yeah, So what if I want to sit in the
third deck, first two rows of the end zone. Uh, well, like, yeah,
I'll do a five figure donation. You'll probably I'm totally
spitballing here, but you probably got to donate at least
five thousand dollars not more. Seriously, now is that money
going to the university foundation? Whatever that means to scam?

(31:13):
That bad boy is all right, somebody who has tickets
can can tell me more. I can ask my brother.
I don't remember all the details, but that doesn't sound
but yeah, he had season tickets for years and then
he just keep adding and adding, adding, asking for more
and more and more, to the point he's like, I
can't do this anymore. But you know the reason why
they keep doing that is because when Rayville Riel said

(31:35):
I'm out, somebody jumped in and said I'm in. Absolutely,
he went back on our wait list. Don't know where
he is on that list. No, I don't, Okay, I'm
trying to call him. Well, I guess what you could
do is you could write a bigger check and then
you can if you want some. Yeah, yeah, that's great.
I mean it's like he feel, I think you can
write it off. It's a tax right off, it's charitable donation.
But still it's like, you know, a lot of is

(31:56):
a scam. By the way in life, when they tell
you the things are attacked right off, do you really
get a huge benefit out of it. I think so
for like millionaires, right right? People know?

Speaker 7 (32:06):
Right?

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Okay, because I'm you and I are regular, You're a
little more regular than I am. Well, I did have
some beef yesterday, that's true, all right. Ten forty four

Medium r little salt and pepper, okay, good. Not overly
seasoned except for that Cajun rabi and work. Sometimes it

I'm not a seasoning Nazi. I'm sorry. I have discerning tastes, Matt,

(36:48):
all right?

Speaker 7 (36:49):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Seven one seven Hony our buddy David in Vegas. David,
good morning to.

Speaker 14 (36:53):
You, Happy pie day and happy anything goes Friday.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Same to you. Happy belated birthday. By the way, Thank
you very much. Old hey. Uh, you have I think
influenced me.

Speaker 14 (37:08):
I have become an insatiable rockets schedule.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Watcher me too.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Thank you very much for joining I'm sorry.

Speaker 14 (37:17):
Scoreboard watcher, I said the wrong thing. I was watching
the schedule to scoreboard watching, I got you. Four teams
are separated between second and sixth place fifth place, I
mean by one single game, and three of those four
teams are in action.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Are actually all four of those teams are in action,
and I think all four are favored to win if
I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 14 (37:37):
Well, two of them are playing each other, so they
they might want to talk about we have. Obviously, Memphis
is hosting streaking Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Oh, let's go Calves. Let's go Calves.

Speaker 14 (37:48):
Would prefer the Eastern Conference team with that matchup, obviously,
but the Nuggets are playing the Lakers in Denver favorite
But obviously, who do we question is who do we
want to win that thing? If the Lakers would lose,
and they're supposed to, that would flip the Rockets to

(38:09):
the Lakers and the four and five spots meeting. We
might face the first round series with the Lakers, but
we would retake the possibility of home court advantish in
that series.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
So here's my answer. I would rather play the Lakers
than the Nuggets. So whatever scenario that has the Rockets
and Lakers playing each other. I would rather have over
a potential second round. I would like to avoid the Nuggets,
and I'd like to avoid the thunder under all until
as late as possible. I'm with you, Okay, that was

(38:41):
my question.

Speaker 14 (38:42):
Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
Continue on with the show, John, thank you for I
appreciate it. Have a good weekend. I'm telling you, Ross
and you were supposed to give me some elixir to
make sure I didn't do this, but I am. The
Lakers did lose last night, got beat up badly by
the Bucks. So now the playoffs were to start to day,
the Rockets would open up a series and Los Angeles
against the Lakers, as the Lakers have dropped to fourth

(39:05):
now in the West. But there's a two way tie
for two between Memphis and Denver, and there's a two
way tie between four and five between the Lakers and
the Rockets. Golden State Mean Wall is three back of
the Rockets. Golden State has won six in a row
and nine of ten. Matt, Yes, sir, this is too much.

(39:28):
It's too much. Stop. Okay, just win, baby, Just have
the Rockets win. Let's go. You gotta focus on yourself.
I'm gonna I'm gonna do what he made Doka is
doing to his players right now. Hey, guys, if we
may Matt, if they just win the games in front
of them, the chips will fall where they may. Just
focus on the game tonight against Dallas, Matt, don't look

(39:49):
at the scoreboard.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Don't do it.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
It doesn't matter. If you take care of yourself, everything
else will take care of yourself. Let's do this to
be fair. We have one minute left. Okay, if I'm
going to stop being schedule in scoreboard obsessed, give me
something else to look at. What's Taylor mathis up to.
She's very pregnant. Oh so that'll be a no. We

(40:13):
can go through the archives, get to scrolling, but they're
the same thing every time. Let's see, she's bouncing on
a Phoenix Street. Have you ever watched The Soprano? You
don't like violence? The Soprano is one of the greatest
shows of all time. No, watch that? All right, I'll
tell you this. There is a new Netflix series out
about the Boston Celtics history that I think I should
start watching. Just screw them more Celtics stuff, Yeah, try

(40:37):
a bunch of all right, I go back and watch
the oj ste is there seventy six episodes, one for
each number they've retired. Wow, then you know what you're
not helping? You're right? How about you can watch The
Lord of the Rings movies. Not interested? They're like three
hours a piece. I just recently watched All There Standing

(40:57):
Back for thirty seconds. Ladies and gentlemen, I might be
the only person besides my friend David in Las Vegas.
I am scoreboard obsessed. I am standing's obsessed. I need help,
significant help. I fully admit that the Rockets could be

(41:18):
in the second spot. In a handful of days. They
could drop to seven. That's how close it is in
the West second hour Matt Thomas Show with Ross. I'm
sorry he's coming up in thirty minutes. I'm not sorry
for being scheduled obsessed. It s I got a problem. Yeah,
you do have a problem. Well I got you know what,
I got a way to help you fix the p

(41:39):
If you're gonna be watching the games, I'm watching the
scoreboards anyways. Why don't you get down a little action
on pick six some DraftKings. That's where the basketball fans
are ready to win some real money.

Speaker 13 (41:48):
Matt.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
When it comes to basketball, payouts. DraftKings dunks on its
rivals like prize picks and others. Super super simple. You
just select two or more players choosers. They're gonna have
more or less of a points, rebounds, three pointers. I
like to go with points, rebounds, assists with triple double
threats like Alper and Chinggoon and Amn Thompson. Pick six
is available is legal here in Texas. Do not settle

(42:11):
for smaller payouts at other places. When you switch to
pick six, you cash in on your basketball knowledge, new players.
Would you like just fifty dollars in credits? Basically almost
for free. Just a five dollars entry get you fifty
dollars in pick six credits instantly. All you have to
do is download the DraftKings Pick six app. Use my

(42:33):
code nine eight seven. That's code nine eight seven. New customers,
you play those five dollars, you get fifty dollars instantly
in pick six credits. It's better payouts, it's bigger wins.
That code again nine eight seven, and it's only with
pick six from DraftKings. The crown is yours gambling problem
Call one one hundred gambler. It must be eighteen plus

(42:53):
agent eligibility restrictions vary by jurisdiction. Void we're prohibited one

six credits that expire in fourteen days, limited time offers.
He terms at Pick six dot DraftKings dot com, slash promos, launchtimers.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
This is the Matt Thomas Show.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
All right, I've been looking up things, trying to have
you been looking up? I looked up some game shows
sta Okay, good, Okay. I thought you were gonna say
you looked at the standing some more. No, I'm gonna
do that before the game tonight. Okay, I'm gonna write
into my game prep here I'm working on right now.
By the way, those of you that are Dallas Mavericks fans.
The two of you that are left, Jayden Harvey Hardy

(43:35):
out tonight with a right ankle spring okay. Derek Lively
the second out with the right ankle fracture fracture, Anthony
Davis out with a doctor strain, Oliviance Maxim's Prospers out
with right risk injury. Kyrie Irving is out with the
tourney cl and Daniel Gafford is out with a sprain
right knee. That's six players. Hmm. And by the way
they traded Luca is that bad And by the way,

(43:58):
Lucas scores a boatload of points, but they have not
won games without Lebron. Luca needs Lebron. He can't do
it by himself. And I know that Austin Reeves is
this great second fiddle guy. He's really a third fiddle
they need. When Austin reaves Lebron and look around the
floor at the same time, that's good. When Lebron's not there,
it ain't great. It's not I would agree with that.

(44:22):
I would say, I would say they're worse without Lebron
on the floor. Mat I'm gonna agree with that. Sent
I think. I'm glad you. I found that analysis like
nobody else could tell you the entire month. I appreciate
that seven to one three still love for what a
call at least another week. No, he's been upgraded to the
day to day. Oh that's good. So that means he
might be able to get going here in the not
too distant future.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
He now.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
We talked about him playing into his to his age
forty season and how amazing he is. He's missed a
lot of games a latst several years. Oh, I think
played seventy games and no in like five years. I
think you're gonna get sixty for the rest of his career,
but that career could go to forty five. He still
looks pretty good out and here's and here's the prom ross.
You're gonna pay him up seen amount of cash until
he retires, which means when you miss him for those

(45:04):
twenty or so games, that's going to hurt because you're
gonna be asking guys that are making relatively speaking, bargain
dollars to play valuable minutes. Okay, he played seventy games
last year, but before that it was fifty five, fifty six,
forty five. He hadn't played sixty for three years before that. Yeah,
all right, seven one three, two, one two five seven

(45:26):
niney if you want to jump into the conversation seven
to one to three, two one two five seven ninti
Astros playing a what do you call it, like a
not a futures game, but a prospects game where they're
going to have prospects of the Astros playing against prospects
of believe of the Cardinals. Wonderful, and we're gonna have
it for you, and then they're gonna play Toronto right

(45:46):
after that. But that's legit player, that's a legit. But
the players are gonna be probably in the mild players. Yeah,
and we are not carrying that game, so we're carrying
the afternoon game and not that one. We got Rockets
basketball tonight against the Mavericks, who come in at thirty
three and thirty four, still in the ten spot in
the Western Conference. Texans make a move with another offensive
lineman from Minnesota yesterday. I'm not an all line guru.

(46:09):
I didn't even play on the radio, okay, but he
was benched, right. I keep looking at these pressure rating
numbers and they're never they're never good. But yeah, the
Minnesota lineman on which her name is not coming to
mind right away and probably won't until I look at it,
but apparently was not a full time starter for the

(46:30):
Minnesota Vikings. Oh my gosh, my brother must be listening.
He sent me the season ticket. Is this supposed to
be public information, like how much you have to gift
and the Okay, so give it an example. Let's say
let's do this before we go to Jason and Candy.
Let's say I want to buy second deck okay, thirty
yard line seats, second deck, thirty yard line seats, yep,

(46:54):
they are seven to twenty for the tickets, and you
have to donate twenty five hundred dollars seven to twenty.
These these seat gifts aren't as bad as I thought.
Her ticket yeah hmm. And then you have to give
that per ticket. So actually, yeah, that's about rose I
was thinking. I guess per ticket. So if you have

(47:16):
two tickets, it's fourteen hundred dollars and you have to
give fifty thousand dollars. Nobody's buying one seat. Nobody's buying
right right, right right. That to me is nice ross.
That's not painful for me for SEC games or really
good non conference games. But I would just go into
the arena in the stadium being pissed off on paying
that kind of money for you, O Monroe. No disrespect

(47:37):
to you Warhawks out there, but I mean I actually
am disrepected. If you went into the nice suite eight
hundred dollars plus for the season tickets and then five
thousand dollars seat gift, so you're basically you want two tickets.
That's going to cost you ten g's per game per season.
Oh and you're getting and you're playing six games a
year ish? No, I mean you are? Yeah, I went

(48:01):
when is Uta not played six games at home in
a season? It's probably been forever. It might be seven.
So you know, I when to get a bunch of
non conference slashers up in there. Let's take a look
at text. I'm gonna look it up right now. I
don't want you to. I'm gonna look up Texas Longhorns
football schedule, and let's see how mad you're going to
get when you're paying that kind of money for certain games.
They will open up the season at Ohio State, Okay,

(48:23):
but that doesn't count. I'm talking about. This is the
money you would pay to go see them play at home,
and here we go. Don't look, I'm gonna do this
drama for me, Okay. I'm gonna pay three thousand dollars
to see them play September sixth at home against San
Jose Steak. It's a big, one huge. Then I'm gonna

(48:46):
get back. I'm gonna go out of my car, do
another hard work of week of work week. I'm gonna
go back over to DKR yes on the next Saturday. Well,
I'm gonna say another game against utep Ooh the miners tough, Maddy, No,
they're not gotta watch out. Then I'm gonna go home.
I'm gonna work another hard work work week. Uh huh,

(49:08):
I'm gonna scratch and calum my way to forty hours.
Thinking Saturday, I get to go back to dk R
yet again. Yes, and I'm gonna go watch them play
sam Houston. Man, they're running the gauntlet. Start a season.
You ought to be ashamed of your You ought to
be a shamed of yourself. You want hoity tody long horns.
You're giving me San Jose State, utep and Sammy Houston

(49:31):
back to back to back. Somebody must have dropped out. No,
they're only playing one tough one since any So let's
go to Let's go to the conference schedule. Okay at Florida, Okay,
Oklahoma's and Dowas. Oklahoma's in Dallas. Now I'm going down here.
October eighteenth, they will be playing at Kentucky, Oh twenty

(49:52):
fifth at Mississippi State. Then they will be home for
like for weeks, but Halloween weekend. Yes, they're gonna go
and play Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt Vanderbilt beat Alabama last year. Tough game.
Now it's not tough matchup. No, it's a joke. You
should be embarrassed. That's great, all right, I'm gonna assume

(50:15):
there's a home game right after that. Okay, let's take
a look. Nope, at George on the fifteenth. That's a
tough matchup. Next week at home Arkansas. Okay, that's not
a bad one Arkansas. Then at home against A and M.
So basically, of the six games you're playing, you're embarrassed

(50:38):
to play four of them. You're not embarrassed to play
vanders You get no LU, you get no Alabama, you
get no Auburn. You have talked to SEC scheduling about that. Vanderbilt, Sam, Houston, UTEP,
and San Jose State among your first four home games.
You ought to be shamed, shamed, shamed. I didn't make

(50:59):
the schedule. Well, somebody made that non conference, looked at
Ohio State, and then you play some cupcakes. They'll learning
from the bet. You can't go to that game unless
you have incredible amounts of wealth? Uh, can't you? If
you're a season ticket holder, don't you get some of
the allotment or something like that or like first DIBs
at the allotment. Excuse my French bitch, Please, you're not
going to the game unless you got ten Jesus spend.

(51:21):
I'm not saying I'm going you regun old Texas I'm
not going real regular old Texas fan, prograduate. Yeah, well,
you could probably flip those Aggie tickets and make all
your money, not all your money back, but a significant
portion of your money back. Honestly, if I was a
Texas fan, which I am in some respects, I would

(51:41):
flip the A and M game and just say I'm
gonna take a season off.

Speaker 8 (51:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
I don't know if they let you do this anymore.
I'd have to talk to Let's see Clinton's stepdaughter as
a student, right, and and uh Weex's daughter is going correct.
When I was there, you could buy face value guest tickets.
So we bought our season tickets, and then the three
of us there was three of us, and we bought

(52:05):
guest tickets, and you didn't have to make a donation
as a student, and we flipped those and made profit.
Good for you. Let's call it economics. The collision age.
You learned something. Yeah, I don't know if the students
can do that anymore, but you'd be good. You can't
flip four to six of the schedule. You can give
away four six of your schedule, but you can't flip it.
The whole season was like six hundred bucks and I

(52:27):
made eight hundred bucks in the Ohio State game in
two thousand and seven. Good for you. Jason and Katie
at eleven eleven on seven Onundrey Jason, good.

Speaker 7 (52:34):
Morning, Hey, I was going to talk about that A
and M in Texas game, but before I do, you know,
we're playing our Texas A and M's playing at Notre
Dame this year and me and a bunch of buddies
are going to go and that ain't cheap. I can
tell you that we already been figuring out. But anyway,
in that game yesterday, man, we're at by four points
with under a minute left.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
Oh yeah, and where.

Speaker 7 (52:55):
Bus we're buzz got the great eye. I don't know
if anybody's talked about this yet today to throw a four,
how are you? And said, just thrown it in bounds
to a ninety one percentre throw? Shoot? Yeah, if they
probably would have found who hadn't missed it? Well, he
had missed one free throw in the game. Just that
was frustrating and for the I'm sorry, I'm sorry for
all the A and M fans that had to watch

(53:16):
that game yesterday. Well say this that we probably left
them in the tournament.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
Hey, Aggie, listened to me, we do. I'm sorry. At
eleven thirty you can't pre I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 7 (53:26):
Well, just it just happened. Anyway, all right, go Aggies.
We're gonna beat him in the tournament now. Now Texas
watches get put in the same bracket with them, or
get put with U of H again like we did
the other year.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
And then you'll lose anyway, Thank you very much, Sea.
All right, yeah, we beat the Gaggies last year in
the tournament. Good Yeah, who do you should lose too?
Was it Duke? Uh No, yeah I was. We had
Jamal Shag got hurt. That's a shame. All right. So
we are a fair and balanced here. Okay, I have
not memorized the A and M non conference. Here we go.

(53:56):
It doesn't matter. August thirtieth, first game, one hundred thousand
people for UTSA. Okay, following week you worked hard all
week ross right, I guess so. But you're sixty hours

And then Utahs day camps in. So they went from
ut SA to us.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
No USU U T s U no, just USU U testing.

don't goe a week off. You have to go on
the road to at Notre Dame. Okay, bayh way. I
hate to tell you this, Aggie fans, you are not
going to love. You're gonna love everything about South Bend
except the game day and stuff. Really quiet stadium for
for as awesome as it is right in the middle

(54:48):
of camp. It's literally right in the middle of campus. Okay,
but it's not really like a huge energy place. Then
you come home to play Auburn in the twenty seventh.
That's good, it's good scheduling. Then you have let's see,
after that, you have to go to Mississippi State. That's annoying.
State's at home. Excuse me, Oh, they bring the cowbells

See a fifty done yarder? Now placement tweaks the leg

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Clott City Houston gets the w.

Speaker 9 (57:27):
Twenty three to twenty the final they knock off the
bills at the buzzer to the evil.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
But foot en gone. No, it's a Tuesday Tuesdays. It
is Sean Weeks. What was your favorite? You know I
didn't even do that Ross, I gotta put that on

(57:58):
Twitter real quick. John Weeks is signing with the forty
hundreds and got himself a nice little raise from I
think he's won make one point four million dollars for
him That maybe his highest number ever. Emost is high.
Damn you, damn you all.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Now, when are we putting him in the Ring of honor?

Speaker 15 (58:26):
We love you?

Speaker 2 (58:27):
John Weeks, the last member of the Kubiak era Texans. HM,
that's horrible, juice. What are we going to do with
our lives? We knew this was coming. By the way,
I don't really know him, but from all accounts, he's

(58:47):
a really, really good dude. Would you have word from
Gary Kubiak? That's sad. I know, Thank you, Gary, We
appreciate it. That's sad. Yeah, we heard you the first time.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
Gary.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Let me tell you about what you want to do.
You want to raise your kids to be backup quarterbacks,
left handed relievers and deep snappers, because I mean, my
guess is that John Weeks will not have to be
out of a blunder in the last years of his life.
He's only on there. I got a few concussions, well, yeah,
a few, but yeah, probably less than most offensive line
I would agree he's not even It's not like he's

(59:24):
six foot five, three hundred and fifty pounds either, Like
I think he's rather small compared to other offensive lineman.
I would think, so there are rules protecting you. You
can't just get crushed, right, So I would say deep snapper.
I'm not saying it's an easy job and if you
make a mistake, you're the only one to blame. There's
nobody else that gets the blame except you. It's not

(59:45):
an easy job. But relative to being a backup quarterback
and being a reliever, I mean, you have your head
down a lot, You're snapping things between your legs quite
a bit. Okay, yeah, you're l seven vertebrates. That's the
feeling great, I mean yeah. I mean when you stand
up right, you're like, this feels good.

Speaker 8 (01:00:02):
M hm.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
You're not bobbing your head up and down a lot
and get pushing the ball through. I was the deep
snapper on the eighth grade t middle school team, and
how that turnout for I was horrible. I was so bad.
But at least you got to touch the balls. I
mean a lot of offensive lineman never get to do that.
I mean, you were intricately involved in the game. The
center gets too Yeah, but you weren't gonna have be

(01:00:25):
a center. You were't know I was. You weren't gonna
have to play four downs. I think that I think
must have been our long snapper. Must have got hurt
because I think I was replaced rather quickly. I can't
really remember. I must have gotten some concussions. Like, if
I was to play football, I'd like to be a holder,
because usually the holder is the punter or the backup quarterback. Though,
well what I'm saying, but if you really do a
good job at it, can be a full time holder.

(01:00:46):
Now you're not making John Week's money, but you're making
some money, right, Yeah, you need to put the uniform on,
you get to touch the football, maybe even break a
sweat beat of some sort. Can I tell you a
guilty pleasure? Fine? That keeps popping up on my timeline.
After that we'll talk to Julian embarrassed please. So there's
this Twitter account messageboard geniuses, and it keeps showing up

(01:01:07):
in my for you okay, and it's all these Aggie fans.
They're like talking about needing to leave the SEC. Texas
really is Big Brother I'm a little embarrassed to say
I'm really enjoying this. This is amazing.

Speaker 15 (01:01:23):
You hear that?

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
All my Aggi friend friends, Oh this good stuff. Buzz
Buzz should both for this. Hoosiers and A and M
should get Rick Patino hmm, always the little brother, absolute

(01:01:45):
choke job. Texas owns A and M and everything. This
is amazing. Poor guys. Hear that, Aggie Doug. I'm sorry
you hear that, Aggie, Chris. It would be the other
way if they if if if Texas were and they're
posting a bunch of stuff Aggie Wad, our friends would
be enjoying Aggie Wade. Do you hear that, aggu Wade?
He's just he's just besmirching your school. Yet again, I'm

(01:02:08):
not beer smirching anything. I'm reading messages from Aggie fan.
But you're openly cackling. You hear that. That's like it's
a full cackle right there. What a shame. John in
Lake City, eleven twenty four on seven, Unty John, Good morning, Hey,
what's going on matter? Good friend?

Speaker 6 (01:02:26):
Uh so, yeah, I called him, talked about a real
college program the US sugars, I mean the A and
M they saw but anyway, Uh, what do you think
about today?

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
B Yu's doing pretty hot?

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
I mean, and Howard is gonna play? Or have you
heard that? I have not heard. I do not believe
much into conference tournaments. The Houston Cougars are gonna be
a number one seed. I don't think there's a lot
of room for improvement. I could give two blanks whether
they win the conference championship tournament or not. Six and
a half.

Speaker 4 (01:02:55):
I I just don't know what.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
I was worried when Roberts got hurt.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
But I guess I'm sure we'll make him. He'll let
him play. That's kind of the way Sampson is right.
He had said, guys, I'm telling you, if Roberts ain't
one hundred percent, he ain't playing. There's one thing that
Calvin doesn't care about, and it's conference tournament's case in
point last year. Yeah that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Well, yeah we would have.

Speaker 16 (01:03:17):
I think they would have won it all if we
don't lose our point guard against Duke.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
I mean, I think they definitely went out a shot.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
Now, Jamal shit is killing the NBA. Thank you very much.
Good for you, Toronto. But yeah, I'm I I you know,
conference tournaments for me, are for schools to build resumes
when your resume has already been built. I don't care
if you want it or not. Right, So, real quick
overview about the program. I mean, if you were to
envisioned ten years ago.

Speaker 6 (01:03:46):
How the UFH program came back to prominence back in
the eighties, I mean, I just would have thought you
were nuts.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
And I was a kid then and I used to
go to the games.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
But when I was thirteen years old.

Speaker 16 (01:03:55):
It's eleven or twelve years old when I came and
Claude there, and I never would have thought that this
would have happened again. And I think, I think the
excitement is pretty met measurable is what it was then.
But I just I do think at some point they're
probably gonna have to make it there. The venie is
gonna have to be expanded, don't you think, No, we.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
Can't even fill it up right now. Sadly, No, it's
they're sold out, aren't Yeah, but people, but people don't
go to games. We have a huge no show factor,
which pisses me off. And I and again it's they're
full for Baylor and for Texas Tech and for when
Kansas comes in. But the great great, super awesome schools

(01:04:35):
filled up for when Texas A and M Corporus Christie
comes in and the place is largely empty for games
like that, and I'm I'm I'm a little disappointed.

Speaker 7 (01:04:43):
One left comment.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
But if you think about it, though it's a US
metropolitan city, you look at U c.

Speaker 7 (01:04:48):
L A games, they're half cool USC half school.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
I mean, that's the comfortable to Houston.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
Right, correct, It's got to be. It's the big city
schools and Houston does a decent job. It's I mean,
it's it's tough, it is it. Yeah, it's it is tough.
But I but if you want to be thank you
John for the phone call, you want to be among
the creme de la creme of you can now. Granted,
U of H beats everybody there. So they only had
one loss at home this year. It was a textas tech.

(01:05:15):
I mean, it's a very difficult place to play. But
the reason why it's so difficult to place to play
is because the get the kids are really good. I mean,
you know again, yeah, does Arkansas fill it up for
when ball State comes in? Yeah? But Arkansas is fate Ville,
nothing else to do. I get it. But we're also
not looking to fill up a fourteen thousand seed arena.
I would think if you're a season ticket holder and
you love the Cougars, you should go to ninety percent

(01:05:37):
of the games, or make sure that you get the
tickets to somebody that's there ninety percent of the time.
I do a lot of the non conference games, the Toledos,
if you will, the Stetsons, if you will, and there
are lots of empty seats in there for those games.
Maybe because they want to watch Man television Ross. Maybe
that's the reason. That's what it is. They're all at
home watching it. It's got to be that's got to
be the reason why. That's what I was figuring. But
I want the building full. I want every time for

(01:05:59):
anybody to go into the game, into it at the
Fertida Center. I want to be you can't see in
an empty seat, and largely we don't see it until
Franklin middle of the conference play. Sorry, Matt, that is
what it is. I'm fine. I can look past it,
all right. Uh you said you're sorry. Did you really
mean that?

Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
I didn't think so. If you like to apologize, now, Connor,
this is your last day in the show. So would
you like to apology? You should apologize for leaving. Yeah,
you should apologize for full time wage and for medical benefits.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Yeah, I didn't know singing Brenda.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
May she rest? May she rest? I'm assuming she did. Probably,
she's very young when she started her career, very young. Damn.
Those people are often troubled. I'm sorry, Chris Cardier. We
don't talk enough SEC baseball. The Matt Thomas Show with
Ross Brinitley is alive. Oh damn, she's only eighty. That's it.

(01:07:51):
She was a child stone for her I mean she's
probably like twelve years old when this song came out.
She made us an acoustic acoustic Verse nineteen sixty. She's
born in forty four Quick Math eighty eighty one. No,
she's eighty, but she was fifteen when she sang the
song at age fifteen, child star, she's got pretty good.

(01:08:13):
She's got like LeAnn Rimes toned to her voice at
that young age. All right, I'm sorry to the listener
that's an Arkansas fan for taking a small jab at Arkansas.
Would you say, oh, did somebody get mad at you?

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:08:28):
I did.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
But I like Arkansas. I've been to Favorite a couple times.
I think it's a very nice thing you have. Yeah,
I'm a big fan of college towns in general. Why Matt,
because of the I didn't go to a college campus.
Yeah place. I mean, that's why they call you the
campus creeper. Nobody calls me that. So anybody that took
a jab at Arkansas, I say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay,

(01:08:53):
I'm sorry that I yelled at my son yesterday for
getting mad his team was missing free throws in the
second half of the game against Texas.

Speaker 16 (01:09:00):

I was yelling at the top of my lungs. I'm like,
he was flipping out upstairs, and I'm like, Peyton blank

Apologize for your actions, apologize for the things you've said.
I put one are your favorite John Weeks moments as
a Texans deep snapper. One guy said when he had
a good snap, he had all When did John Weeks
ever have a bad snap, right? I mean he was

(01:19:33):
really good. By the way, Darren had a good one,
he says, when the position he plays on having a
moment you remember, means he was great. Fifteen years of
the Texans is an incredible run. By the way, a
big statement came out today from cal and Hannah and
Janice on John Weeks leaving as a Texan. You think
they wrote any of any of the three of them

(01:19:54):
wrote any of that part of that. No, okay, you're
very smart. So I'm sorry the Texans PR staff that
has to write letters for the owners, I didn't mean it.
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety You want
to get into sorry, let's do this now or forever.

(01:20:15):
Hold your piece until we do this again next Friday.
Let's say hi to Justin on seven ninty Justin, what
are you going to apologize for?

Speaker 7 (01:20:22):
Hey?

Speaker 15 (01:20:22):
I just wanted to apologize to anyone who bets on
the same college basketball games I bet on.

Speaker 4 (01:20:29):
I can't tell you how many times in the.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Last probably two weeks, I bet on a game and
it comes down.

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
To one shot.

Speaker 4 (01:20:39):
So anybody who bets on the same games I bet on.

Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
I'm sorry. You didn't have that Marquette game, did you, Marquette?

Speaker 4 (01:20:47):
No, I had some like small ones, like I think
it was Ohio, and then there was like Eastern Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (01:20:56):
Just small ones. There was one the underdog was.

Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
The underdog was plus ten. I bet on them to
win the first half. Three seconds left, they're up by two.

Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
The first half. Justin, you can you know, justin, you
cannot name one Ohio player.

Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
No, you're right, I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Okay, I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:21:19):
I just though I see if I get the bets
that I can't.

Speaker 14 (01:21:23):
You're right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
I'm sorry you have a problem.

Speaker 8 (01:21:27):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
I'm sorry, justin, thank you, justin, thank you for anything
so honest. Though Marquette was two and a half point
favorites over Xavier, they're up five with the clock running
out and basically like a forty five foot Xavier hit
to cover the two and a half. I'm sorry for
you dorks. Have put up five brackets. Why you should
only one bracket? One and one?

Speaker 5 (01:21:50):
On?

Speaker 2 (01:21:51):
My god, I'm sorry you don't understand how things work.
I'm sorry that people just can't have an opinion when
you play the power ball Do you only play one
set of number? Nope?

Speaker 7 (01:22:02):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
Because I asked for ten chances. Okay, So if I'm
in a bracket pool with hundreds of people, why can't
I enter multiple entries? Because the chances of you winning
a bracket pool are gonna be much smaller than it
would be for a lottery. I'm just I mean the
lottery chances that are won a concept. I'm sure it
might be the same concept, but I'm just gonna follow

(01:22:24):
my dad my one. That's fine because here's what I
don't like. I don't like douchebag Doug. Now I'm talking
about aie dug. I'm wow, just regular douchebag about jackass Jaden?
How about that? Is that better? Okay? Hey, man, I
had Arkansas in my pool. Did you have him in
all three of them?

Speaker 8 (01:22:44):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
I had him in one, So I got it. And
they said, man, I had ball State knocking off Arizona,
which one? Well in the third one, Man, I don't
have time for that. Don't brag about having ball State
in one of your brackets when you don't even first
of all, know what ball State's nickname is, and second
you can't name a player and third. You had four

(01:23:06):
or five brackets and you picked the your favorite and
three of the four. Whatever, it's terrible. You're sorry for
those of you that can't stick to your guns. I'm
sorry you don't know what it's like to gamble. They
called me stick to your guns, Thomas. Oh, you slow
gun Thomas. I just think multiple bracket, dude, is I

(01:23:31):
could see maybe two one of your betting with your
heart and one that you're barely meting when he was losing.
I'll be doing four again this year. I usually do four.
That's that's at least two too many, at least okay
to me. How about this year, why don't you try
doing two and see how it goes. No, I'm gonna
do four. Last year I did four and I got

(01:23:53):
fifth in the pool. I won two hundred dollars. The
rest of my brackets were crap. If I didn't make
four of them, I would probably wouldn't want an And
by the way, if you hit a perfect bracket this year,
we get ever get picked a right, that's not happening.
Ross is going to cut you a check to help
you build a pool in your house. That's true. Actually,
if you get a completely perfect completely perfect bracket. You
will buy someone a pool? Sure? Why not? All right?

(01:24:18):
I always feel better about this segment. That's good. But
I was thinking about things I'm sorry about later in
the week, so I gotta hold it off till Friday.
Down I probably should. In your notepad, you got more
things right now. You get more paper than anybody. I know.
I am not helping out trees, aren't I. No, I'm
mister write things down Lumberjack Thomas. I'm also a big
whiteout guy too. Yeah, okay, I don't sniff it. I

(01:28:30):
it or not, all things about Connor Dy and Missouri. No,
it's just Connor dy mcgovernor. Eight questions about Connor de mcgovernment.
Is there eight interesting facts about you? Period? There's a
lot of interesting facts. For how young he is, he's
quite accomplished, and there's no way to look this up,
so people are gonna be just randomly guessing whether it's
sure or not. This makes it really truly believe it
or not? All right? Uh? Seven one three seven one.

(01:28:53):
This time every day during the radio program, we give
you and present to you to the newsroom, the new Center,
the news megaplex for sports, Harvey and the news at noon. Well, yes, Matthew,
we are on the thick of a conference championship week.
A number of things going on here in Houston and

(01:29:13):
in Texas in these conference championships. We will start locally
with your University of Houston Cougars with a huge, massive
win over the Colorado Buffaloes.

Speaker 10 (01:29:25):
Use hand on the box, off the Tuggler screen, use
at top of the key, use an back to away
launches another three.

Speaker 7 (01:29:32):
Got it?

Speaker 10 (01:29:32):
Mils Uzanne has twelve second.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Half points in the Cougar lead back to fourteen Cougar's
With the seventy seven to sixty eight win over the
Colorado Buffaloes. They did not cover the spread. That's fine, whatever,
But also that spread was seventeen and a half. That's shameful.
I mean, I love my Cougars. I wasn't expecting win
by seventeen and a half. Wow, you should have bet
the Buffaloes and you had won some cash. Mattie Emmanuel Sharp,

(01:29:59):
scoring nineteen points before fouling out Juan Roberts, the veteran
forward with an ankle injury in the second half. Matt
we go to you for the latest on Juwan Roberts
and his ankle injury. Don't play, Okay, That's what I'm
going with. All right? Where do they play tonight? Yes?
What time they will be playing the b YU Cougars

(01:30:20):
tonight and tip off is at six pm. If you
want to fly to Kansas City, guess what. Plenty of
seats are available now the Kansas and I always say,
are out of the tournament. No one's going. It will
be an empty rent center in downtown Casey, did you
use rhyme it? Yeah? Okay, I don't know what it's called. Well,
the rhymes of rent, mint, spent, keep going, lent, you

(01:30:44):
forget it, ferment, go on? All right, let's keep it moving.
Also in conference tournament action, the underdogs the Texas Longhorns
defeat the Mighty Texas A and m Aggi's great.

Speaker 11 (01:30:58):
Dropped and poke trying to drive pas. Taylor goes in
and wrap around pass out to Johnson, tray a long
three God Johnson knocks it down.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
Texas defeating Texas A and M in a double overtime
thriller ninety four to eighty nine, improving to nineteen and
fourteen on the season. Could be making the NCAA Tournament now,
Joe Lonardi having them among the last four in Rodney

(01:31:28):
Terry saving his job. No, I don't think so either
barring a sweet sixteen run or more.

Speaker 1 (01:31:34):
But beating A and M.

Speaker 2 (01:31:37):
With you having these fringe teams in, that's a top
that's a quad one win Texas, I think now seventy
nine against quad one teams, Yeah, that's gonna get you in.
But there, Ross, Are you okay bad loss? Are you
okay with watching the first four with your Longhorns in Dayton?
What do you mean why not? I mean that's an
extra day at college basketball watching for you. That sounds

(01:32:00):
great in Dayton, though, Yeah, he's gonna make me angry. Actually,
I'm gonna tell you there were points yesterday I was like,
just in the season, just get it over with. They
can't inbound the ball late, they have horrible offense. Lad
in games. Roddy Terry's attention to detail is horrible. All
the little things that good coaches do, he does not
do well. He doesn't have his team prepared for it,

(01:32:20):
and he doesn't and yet you're getting in the tournament.
You know what, Maybe I didn't want more for Texas basketball. O. Hey,
all right, moving along, but also with some college basketball news.
Duke facing questions after injuries to both Cooper Flag and
Malik Brown. Cooper Flag leaving the arena in a wheelchair

(01:32:42):
after rolling his left ankle in the first half for
the Blue Devils against Georgia Tech, and defensive star Malik
Brown also was helped to the locker room with his
left arm hanging limply. X rays showing no fracture. For Flag,
not sure if he's going to be back in the
tournament or the NC Double A tournament, might even miss
the first weekend. We'll see yet to be seeing what's

(01:33:04):
gonna happen to him and Brown. Matthew, Uh, when you
watch Cooper fly, how much have you seen him over
the course of the year. Minimi likes Yeah, me too,
even though I have a duke wife who just loves
the duke. He yes, I don't love him.

Speaker 8 (01:33:19):
I like him.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
I don't love him, okay, and I think if I'm
gonna be one dash one of the NBA draft, I
want him to love the guy. But man, he has
all the features. He block shots, he rebounds, he can
shoot from the outside. But is there a little bit
of the Duke hasn't had awesome players year after year
come out of the draft. Is that Duke bias hurting?

(01:33:43):
Like maybe like c J. Stroud and Ohio State quarterback Byers. No,
I don't think so. Okay, Zion Willms is good, Kyrie
Erwck's good. Uh, Jason Tatum was Kentucky right, It's gonna
getting all these blue teams confused. Zion just can't stay healthy.
Attendance is a part of the Gray well Wise Sports
went to Cooper flag though. It's saying, you know what,
I'm saying, it shouldn't And I told you the same

(01:34:04):
thing when it was Ohio State in c J. Strould
say it doesn't matter. Okay, these guys are different. I
think you're right for sure. For sure? All right, Matt,
let's kind of keep it with sports, but a little
bit off color. Are you familiar with the tp C
Sawgrass event that's going on right now, Matt, I do
not watch golf except for the majors. Well, earlier this week,
there was an incident that spread on social media. Rory

(01:34:27):
McElroy was heckled by somebody at TPC Sawgrass while playing
a practice round. That feels rude. After hitting a drive
that went into the water, he was heckled by a patron.
He went over there, took his cell phone, walked away
and walked off and then that patron was ejected. But
there's more to the story, Matt. What the patron is

(01:34:50):
University of Texas golfer Luke Potter? Wait? What UT golfer
Luke Potter was the one heckling Roy McElroy and had
his phone taken and was ejected from TPC Sawgrass. Why
doesn't that college player know the etiquette of golfing. Potter

(01:35:13):
did release a statement about the incident. Asked by the
Golf Channel, he said, look, I just made a mistake.
I take ownership for it. I apologize for it. That's
about all that needs to be said. It's a good
learning experience. Yeah, I apologize. Terrible, just terrible. Luke Potter's
pretty good golfer, apparently. Let me tell you some ut

(01:35:37):
will be asking for this and money for him eventually
once it gets on tour. So they better make sure
that there's no long term ramifications like him kicked off
the team or something like that, because he'll go somewhere
else in a millisecond.

Speaker 7 (01:35:51):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
Yeah, I don't know about that, but hopefully Luke Potter
the going to carry the torch for a long line
of great ut golfers. Matt, all right, there you have it.

Speaker 3 (01:36:03):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
By the way, I've got a gross non flora story
coming up at the bottom. They are giving you, guys

cringe sometimes, but the passing has been good. He's been
really good since the All Star break, averaging more than

(01:38:28):
twenty one and a half points a game, nine and
a half rebounds, making fifty six percent from the floor.
What you want right now form him?

Speaker 4 (01:38:36):
Hey, yeah, you know what in that game. I saw
that game, and I say, Matt has to be working
overtime right now to make him look that good, make
it look good.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
I'm only calling what I'm saying. I'm not making stuff up.
You think I know it's not a good player.

Speaker 3 (01:38:53):
I ain't gonna say he's not a good prayer. He
just he does some idiotic things.

Speaker 2 (01:38:59):
He's an all well, all of us do idiotic things.
You listen to show tending to you hear the idiotic
things that are being done.

Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:39:08):
But hey, but that's been y'all blood though, y'all, that's that.

Speaker 2 (01:39:14):
Our blood is stupid stuff. Okay, I feel like I
argue with that, honestly, stun let me tell you, Uh,
there are things about Alpi to drive me crazy. But
buying large, he's having a very very good season. I
wish his free throw percentage was better, but he's shooting better.
I wish some of the crazy passes he would take
would and he would not do them. But he's been
incredibly efficient this month, better free throw shooting in the

(01:39:36):
last five or six games. Not too much to complain
about it from him right now.

Speaker 4 (01:39:41):
Hey, I got one more thing as for Ross. Hey,
is Texas the most hated team in the s SEC
right now?

Speaker 2 (01:39:48):
Duh?

Speaker 3 (01:39:49):
Because Jake Millis.

Speaker 1 (01:39:51):
Jake Millis was was really.

Speaker 4 (01:39:56):
Like, hey, every time Texas do a foul, oh that's
not a foul, but if the other team, I mean
it was a couple of times.

Speaker 2 (01:40:06):
I don't think Jay Billis hates Texas. I think that
the referees were horrible. I will say that number one,
that game was awful. There was like every it's like
every foul that was called wasn't a foul, and then
every time there was an actual foul, there was a
no call. I think he mentioned a couple of times
when it was A and M that there were there
were not some fouls. But I will say that the
referees are terrible, and I will say I don't think
Jay Billis hates Texas.

Speaker 4 (01:40:28):
I don't know, man, because the guys, I mean, the
whole nick worked thing, like the anti Longhorns.

Speaker 2 (01:40:36):
M You're right, it's anti Longhorne of gingin. I won't
stand for it. Don't feed Daddy Man's ego. Thank you
for the phone called don't feed into that. Yeah, everybody
hates text. You know why people hate Texas generally speaking,
is because you're entitled. Who's entitled? H just a general
Texas alums? Who do you know that's entitled? Alum? Just
d entitled? I mean a little bit. Come on, Matt,

(01:40:59):
I mean I'm not entitled. I could. I could talk
to ten guys in a room. I could, I could
pick out the three Texas stereotype. It's not true. Are
you sure? Yes? All right, let's go out. Let's go
out next time sometime soon, and let's go to a
bar with ten different fan bases and we'll so we

(01:41:19):
can figure out who the Texas guys are, and who
the A and M guys are, and who are the
really cool people. The University of Houston people they couldn't
get into either of the schools, so they went to
Houston Easy. At twelve twenty three on the Matt Thomas
showed Ross Easy, thank you for wedding in good afternoon
to you, Hey, gentlemen, A couple of things.

Speaker 13 (01:41:41):
What do you guys think about that Stephen A Smith
contract for one hundred million? I mean to talk crazy
on ESPN, you know, Lebron, Lebron, Lebron.

Speaker 17 (01:41:52):
That.

Speaker 13 (01:41:53):
And then the second thing I was gonna bring up, gentlemen,
if you find it after you did the Good Morning strippers.
I found this stripper on LinkedIn that now is no
more Miss Cinnamon. She is now Samantha m As a receptionist.
Should I add her or not? And I'll hang up

(01:42:13):
and listen, gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (01:42:14):
Okay, Easy was the very first thing he said. I
don't know talking about LinkedIn. Oh he's talking about Steven A.
Smith's contract A Smith and Lebron. Look Lebron, James, I
mean that douchebag Jason Barrett from that media consulting group says,
if we should all be rooting for Steven A. Smith

(01:42:36):
to get as much money as possible, No, I'm not
going to root for him. Do I think it's wasted money? Absolutely?
Was it competing against no one for Steven A Smith's rights? Yeah,
it wasn't. I mean, it's all right, so it was
gonna go do a YouTube page. Guess what he'll make
twenty cents in the dollars if you make it from ESPN.
I mean, Steve and A's got value, clearly. I think
he does have a large fan base. I think it's

(01:42:57):
a very much a love hate relationship. I don't respect him.
I respect Steven A. Smith, I don't I think he
I will have his back on the hold Lebron stuff.
I'll tell you that. I mean he he was a
beat writer. He's got a lot of personality. He does
have a lot of charisma. I don't I don't think

(01:43:18):
that's deniable and he's not the best analysis of all time.
But I do respect what he's done in this in
this media sphere to where he's making twenty million dollars
a year. He's made ESPNSA we cannot afford to lose you.
I think when you host a show like that and
you have a humongous staff around, you can't make mistakes.

(01:43:39):
He makes lots of mistakes. He does, and so he's
also asked to call it like he's got to do NBA, NFL.
It doesn't do a lot of baseball, but zero baseball. Well,
if he's asked to do it, then he can't do it,
then he shouldn't get paid for if he make. If
you if you get this assignment and you make great money,
you should he does at nine fifty and he bets
about seven twenty five. I don't know what he bets.

(01:44:02):
And honestly, every time I hear about him not want
to run for president, and he was on every television
show possible, tells he not donte to run for president.
Ye president, I mean he's got he's got one of
the most incredible, fascinating media careers of all time. It's big,
and it's very luxurious, and it's very very advantageous for

(01:44:23):
him financially. But I don't know. I just don't respect him.
I just makes a lot of mistakes. I think he
is more about the show than he is about content.
And but I will say this, I have his back
on the Lebron stuff. Lebron was being an excuse my French,
I won't say it. Lebron was he was being a father. No,

(01:44:46):
he felt like somebody was being unfair to his son,
and so he told him, guess what you do? You call?
He did tell him, No, you don't do it in
front of him in the middle of the game. You
do you pick up the phone and Lebron. If Lebron
James calls steven A Smith, steven A Smith, pick the phone. Okay,
stephen A. Smith will fly to La to talk to
him about it. To do in the middle of the

(01:45:06):
game that you know people were looking at you were
looking to gain attention for it. That's a b movie. Uh.
I guess I can't. I don't know, but I'm gonna
say he did that. He definitely did in the public
sphere because he wanted. I think, maybe make it. I
don't know if make an example or what the term
would be, maybe make an example of stephen A. Smith.

(01:45:29):
I'm not a fan of that. So stephen A you
were right, yes you were. Lebron came to you as
a father and I respect that. I can't you know,
I I do like the fact Lebron defended his son,
and also I don't know exactly what he what the
issue was. What did steven A say Smith, there was
a video of it, said he just said, he's saying that.
What everybody else is saying is that Lebron you forced this.

(01:45:52):
No one was going to take Bronie James until you
said you going to tell the Lakers go grab him,
and the so so stephen A rightly so said, Hey,
Brownie James isn't in the NBA unless you tell the
Lakers to do it. But if you got a problem,
go tell him. Love a phone call, send an email,

(01:46:14):
g chat, get on a zoom call, or just see
him face. Maybe he wanted to address him face to face.
You don't think you know the Steve Naysmith will jump
on a plane to go see him right away. If
you said come out face to face me, I'm gonna
fly him out for a face kideve A. Smith is
never in studio. Smith is gonna fly out to meet
with a player. He's making twenty million dollars a year.

(01:46:36):
He can clearly do. He said, maybe because you know
what happened, if it was a phone call. Oh, why
can't you meet him face to face, man to man?
Why can't you so? I mean, it's feel like Lebron
can't win. If there was a zoom call and he's
calling him out, no, no, people would have said, no,
why don't you be a man and meet him up
face to face. Well, he met him. He was a man,
and he met him up face to face. And by
the way, he'd have found him before that. He could
have met him that night because he was at the

(01:46:56):
game in Los Angeles schedule. Maybe this is excuse making
Lebron use making. Yeah, Lebron should have absolutely done it before,
not in front of everybody, But that's what he wanted.
He wanted to get the attention. He got it for
what he wanted to. Definitely wanted to make it, Like
I said, make a viable and I had face to
face I a problem with you, honest problem, which I

(01:47:18):
never doff. No, it's not I would say it all fair.
I wouldn't have it on the air, would wouldn't try
to embarrass you. No, it's exactly I was calling out
I don't even know, uh, the Tarry Easton, and I
was like, yeah, crushing Tarry Easton and he came and
spoke to me face to face in front of the court,
that that would make sense to me. No, because the
Rockets would say Tar would wants to speak to you,

(01:47:38):
or go to the Rockets pr apartment and say, hey,
Ross Tari wants to talk to you. I think I
think grown people do it, not in front of a microphone,
in front of a camera. He he wasn't in front
of the camera. He didn't do it on so he
was on camera. Everything is, everything is in a game
is in front of a camera. If there was an
element of that, It's not like he crashed his set

(01:47:58):
funny throwing stuffverywhere? All right, I got thirty seconds here,
Jason and Kingwood. Jason, you have a gender reveal you
need information on please? Oh yeah, So last time I
talked to you, guys, I told you all I was.

Speaker 8 (01:48:09):
I was.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
I found out I was a dad.

Speaker 16 (01:48:11):
I'm trying to find a good way of doing an
assos related gender reveal.

Speaker 2 (01:48:16):
Hmmm, well you do orange and blue? Well yeah, I know,
but how like should I I don't know, like orange
and blue smoke, you don't do it? Just don't do
a gender reveal, Jason, what why not. Isn't that like
part of the fun. No, nobody wants to go to
your gender real No, Jason, I will buy your family

(01:48:36):
a gift, but just don't invite me to your gender
reveal party. Okay, all right, well, you know what. Let
Jason do what he wants if you want to do it, dude, Jason, Jason,
don't do it. Take message advice. I'm a father of
free I had zero gender reveals. Hmm I left turning out. Okay,
you might have to consult headquarters. Oh you mean the missus. Yes,

(01:48:58):
I got It's fair. All right now, I'm in chief.
Not for stories. Up next twelve thirty on Sports Talk seven.

Speaker 9 (01:49:04):
Ninety, Lunchtimers, Lunchtimers, It's a Matt Thomas show with Ross
on Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (01:49:16):
This is my final warning if you have virgineers and
do not like sensitive, somewhat disgusting stories. She did not
want to listen to my story five four three two
one non for a story, folks, coming from the state
of New Hampshire. Gentlemen, a woman has been arrested. You're saying, well,

(01:49:40):
how did she get arrested? Police said she posted quote
disturbing videos of herself online contemning a Storre's food products
by yearnating on them. It prompted a recall them more
than a half dozen items. The woman, twenty three year

(01:50:05):
old Kelly's Tedford, posted videos and an internet site showing
her peon products at the Monognarch Food co Op. It's
located in the southeastern portion of the state. This grocery store,
according to a news release from the Keen based company,
the incident took place on February the tenth and caused
more than fifteen hundred dollars in loss to the store.

(01:50:30):
Apparently she's done this before. She was listed as an
inmate online with a Chesshaire County Department of Corrections. She
has a bond set and charged with criminal mischief. Apparently
she did this back in twenty twenty one, where she
and the police report said did it. Numerous additional videos

(01:50:52):
of Tedford peeing on products. The grocery store makes the
release and says, at this time we are asking for
a voluntary recall the following products between purchase between February
the tenth and February the fifteenth, So if any of
you bought this at a New Hampshire grocery store, take
it back because it might have urine on it. Raw walnuts,

(01:51:15):
Jesus organic coconut shreds, organic polenta, polenta, organic red keenona keona.
Oh boy, stop, I was gonna let him try some more.
You ruined it. Yeah, keep going keynota Is that wrong?
That's wrong, isn't it? It's keen wa keen wah whatever,
organic white quen Wa organic try colored quen wa, organic

(01:51:41):
corn meal. Anyone who has purchased the recalled products are
asked to throw them away and visit the business for
a full refund. Quote from the grocery store, well, this
is a highly unusual incident. We have strict food safety
protocols and recall products in place. We are reviewing our
security measures and procedures to further safeguard our store and customers. Meaning,

(01:52:02):
please do not take a whiz on our products. And
that is my non Florida story. Thank you, Matt. We
appreciate you. If you ever been to a grocery store
and seen someone take a whiz on products, No, right,
I hope they never happened. All right, I'm gonna skip
the first one I was gonna use. I'll just read

(01:52:23):
you the headline Matt in Bohmer charged with castrating sex
offenders corpse, Okay, and skip. I told you I'm skipping though.
Thank you. Next, Matt, Apparently things are getting pretty dire
at the US border, both with Mexico and Canada. Contraband
being smuggled at an alarming rate. Do you know what

(01:52:44):
this contraband is, Matt. It's not fentanyl. It's not cocaine,
is it n It's not quenwa increasing by thirty six
percent at the US Mexico border, people smuggling eggs. I
thought egg prices were going to down. Near the San
Diego Tea one a border, egg smuggling has spiked by

(01:53:05):
as much as one hundred and fifty eight percent, with
the prices of eggs soaring. One hundred thousand eggs totaling
forty thousand dollars in value were stolen from a distributiontribution
center in Pennsylvania. And then also you have at the
US Mexico and US Canadian borders hundreds of thousands of

(01:53:28):
eggs being smuggled through and being stopped by border patrol agents.
This is a terrible problem we have. By the way,
if anybody has gone to a waffle house lately. Excuse me,
baffle bouse. You know they were charging a fifty percent
fifty cent per egg surcharge on it ail. I didn't
know that. Yeah, if that has been taken off the board,
let us know. Because egg prices are dropping and gas

(01:53:48):
prices are down. I paid two forty one yesterday. That's good.
So things are recovering nicely. Wonderful smuggling, you're a smuggling
a gross No. Sorry, people are texting. How do you

This story is brought to you by Tamin mon Moroae Louisiana,
who sent me this story nice.

Speaker 2 (01:55:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:55:56):
We go to Germany where soccer match was postponed after
an injury to a referee. The referee was conducting pregame
checks of players passports when a small child who was
doing gymnastics on the field gave him a sharp bite
on his left testicle. The young child was later identified
as the son of a player on one of the
German soccer teams. The referee's injury was so painful that

(01:56:16):
he buckled over in pain and was unable to perform
his scheduled duties as a referee. So the two clubs
will play each other at a later date after needing
to reschedule the match following the bizarre injury, and it
has not been made clear whether the referee will will
return to officiate that rescheduled.

Speaker 2 (01:56:33):
Match and again recap the injury one more time. Child
bit him on his left testicle. Hmmm, that sounds painful.
So this guy's just calling a match. He's run up
and down the fields. A hard job as it is.

Speaker 5 (01:56:46):
I'm gonna watch somebody's kid on the one of the
nigams bite testy.

Speaker 2 (01:56:51):
