We should do that.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, it's not good. That wasn't good at all. I've
been something underneath circles. I love it. Revenge is best
served warm. I thought it was revenge is a dish
best served cold. No, in my case, it's warm, non
proverb much warmer. What the hell is going on with
the Texans? That was garbage?

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Jesus Christ?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh, I like when you close your eyes Corey, All

Speaker 4 (00:52):
It's a wild group.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
And here's the reason why I call it because your
mom's in the group too.

Speaker 6 (00:57):
And would believe me.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
We all hook up.

Speaker 6 (00:59):
Yeah, a monster game.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Dude, you're a dumb ass. Seriously, I knew that was
a setup. I believe nuts will be getting cracked this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
People dress up the concerts.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
They don't wear garter, though not most of them, but
ones who are attention seeking hores do m I felt personal.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Okay, wait that came out right. I know what you said.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everybody, everybody knows what you said. Stop calling people horse?
Wait a second, hold on, you call people.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
A horse on a radio show attention hoarring.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
No, you called her a whore. The lovely in town
of mathis who went to what are her greatest town?
That were her top three greatest talents. I don't know,
but she wore a garter belt to a concert and
I have zero issues with it. Yeah, you wouldn't stop
talking about it. Well, you're right. I don't want to say. Okay,

(02:03):
it's ted O five, what it is? Sports talk seven OUTTI.
Well let's go. We are here today and every day
it looks up Saturday and Sundays from now until two
o'clock in the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Or This is Rassa Ross's last over a couple of weeks,
so you best better bring your best. I don't I
don't want you mailing it in. I don't want you
in vacation mode. Yeah, I'm talking about you know it's
already mail. I've been mailing it into its Tuesday. I
was just seeing mailing into in twenty ten. But that'd
have been rude.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, but it's also not that inaccurate.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, that's true. When Ross and I first worked together,
he had a really hard problem getting here right at
noon when the show is at noon. See, and you
would always I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm like, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Just you're here. That's the most important thing. That's overblown.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I probably you could probably count on three hands the
amount of times I have been after dude on a
fifteen year I.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Mean, that's not bad.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Three hands in fifteen years. I don't know, man, I
got sleep issues. What do you want to say? I'm
here though you are here? Hi, Hey, and ladies, gentlemen, like,
it is no matter what time of the day it
is when these two voices you hear are on these
airwaves called sports Talk seven nunty, it isn't.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
Anything goess Friday.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
And that means you will call seven one three two
one two five to seven ninety seven one three two
one two five seven Honnie and Ross will explain the
essence of anything goes Friday. Yes, Matthew, Uh. The longest
leash in the biz, as far as the phone lines
first of all. Some shows don't even take calls. We
take calls here on the Matt Thomas Show. Yeah, we

(03:38):
actually don't like to. We like to have conversation with
you folks. We actually deep find most of you decent. Yeah,
and normally they're day drunks. So well, at this point,
now that we've switched time slots, there are morning drunks
as well. And you know what, we got the longest
leash in the biz. It gets even longer on a Friday.
Anything you want to get to seven one three two
one two five seven ninety is the phone number having

(04:00):
one three two one two five seven ninety. Of course,
we have full breakdown. A man is gonna go through
the too deep of both teams. Yes, Texans versus Cowboys
coming up on Monday. You also have Matt is gonna
go blow by blow. We're gonna simulate the fight Mike
Tyson versus Jake Paul tonight on Netflix. We're gonna get
a full breakdown of that as well. And the Rockets

(04:22):
are in action and they're gonna make your eyes bleed
with the City Court or whatever they're calling it, the
NBA Cup Court tonight at.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
The Toyotas that thing is gonna be big and red
is what is it gonna be?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety You won't
be hearing that next week. You just can't help yourself.
I might have to tune into I want no, there's
no chance, Like, what time is it there? We're gonna
You're gonna be in tai pas right now. I'm gonna
be in Soul sould for eight days and then Taipei
for I think seven. How are you getting from one
to the other flying? How long is the flight? I

(05:00):
think it's two hours. That's sound terrible. Yeah, And the
thing is I got to pack for two trips because
Soul is gonna be cold. It's gonna be like fifties
and then down to the thirties at night. And then
Taipei is basically in the seventies and it rains every day.
So not doing sound fun? I think it rains for
a little bit every day. You just go to Seattle.
The same thing about flight should be fun though, all right,
I've been to Seattle. If anybody has advice for long

(05:22):
traveling rows, this will be your longest slot ever. I'm
assuming right, Yeah, sixteen hours, it's gonna be a record
for me. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
The longest for me has been Hawaii NonStop.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I don't know what. I've been Houston, Hawaiian a bunch
of times. I've been Chicago to London one time. I
don't remember how long that was, but those are the
most of my longest flights ever. I've only been cross
country from Houston Houston's which is you know, fairly centrally
located right and to Columbia, which the first leg was
to Panama City, and that was six hours. So that's

(05:55):
that's the longest slide I've been on. Is only six hours?
And did it go by faster? Does you feel like you.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Were just most it?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Okay? But also yeah, it's a completely different situation. Sixteen
hours from Dallas to where Dallas in, Yeah, inchewn which
is the airport to get into Seoul. There's subways everywhere.
It looks like travel over there is really easy. So
I'm looking forward to that. Okay, Well, I.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Hope you have. First of all, we really want you
have a great time.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Secondly, I don't I think I would lose my mind
being on the plane for sixteen hours, well four hours
of that. The flight from I connect through DFW. That
flight leaves at ten and at eleven is Longhorns in Arkansas,
So that'll kill four hours right there. See, you're assuming
there's direct TV on the plane. There is Wi Fi.
I can't be stream on Wi Fi only at the airline.

(06:42):
Wi Fi's only the airline has Wi Fi television. Well,
if we're going all the way, why can't I stream
ESPN Plus Because if you try it, it's like United,
let's schmid it. And let's say you're going from Houston
to Sacramento. Okay, if you don't have direct TV on
your plane, you're not gonna be able to watch live

(07:02):
television because they will not let thee the phones will
not let you stream off of the United's Wi Fi.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Is that accurate? I have never been able to do it.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
So people watch Netflix and stuff. Netflix is different, which
you have to download your Netflix ahead of time. Oh okay,
well now I'm upset. No, No, I mean, I'm not trying
to give you bad news. I think I'm right about this.
I'm not a hund percent sure, but I'm telling you iHeartRadio.
I can listen to Craig Way on the call. Some
airlines do have iHeart radio connections. Yeah, okay, I don't
know if if Shamerican is one of them. American share

(07:33):
lines Yeah, but no, I yeah. They always say, you know,
you can't how you can't own download videos and you
can't stream live events. And again I could be the
punt of having Wi Fi if I can't download stuff
your Wi Fi and just like normal computer stuff like
web pages and stuff, but they're not. Access to video
is usually very limited. That's probably because people like you
just trying to watch porn. Now, okay, that's not true. Uh,

(07:55):
let me ask you this. Who is Texas planning again
tomorrow Arkansas? Oh, you're not worried about that. I'm not
worry about it.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
What's the line on that?

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Bad?

Speaker 2 (08:01):
But it's not about being worried about it. It's about
that being my team and me watching their games. So
that's that would actually literally kill three and a half
hours of your flight. Yeah, and then I'm going to
sleep for four more. Got a book? Did you pick
out your food yet?

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oh, so I went to go look at that.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
And that's only if you need a special I guess
they're going to ask me if I want beefer chicken
or whatever in the flight because it's only if I
need to request for you know, kosher Muslim, oh that
kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, don't have the shrimp because
you know what happened, Like all the options were stuff
I don't need. It was either are are you kosher?
Do you need a Muslim? Are you vegan? I'm none
of those things. I was on this plane one time

(08:37):
and a bunch of people on the aircraft ate fish
and they got really sick. And then what happened, Man,
there was a lot of storms in this on this flight, Yes,
and they wound up having to go get an old
war veteran to fly the plane because they're all the
pilots in the in the in the uh in the
cockpit were eight fish and they got sick. It sounds

(08:59):
like the plot of an overrated comedy. I don't believe
it to be accurate. I'm just kidding. By the way,
Airplane is a classic on the funniest movie ever made period.
In the story, you know science, they've done scientific studies,
you know, and they actually say that because it has
the most jokes in the hour and a half or
whatever it's on.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
There's like a joke.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I think there's something like a joke every forty seconds
or something. And the crazy part about airplane, I know,
we're not, we're not. We're gonna get into our textans breakdown.
Trust me on this is that ninety percent of what
was jokes could not be used today, which is frankly sad.
I don't even think that's true though. I think comedies
that come out to have you seen, like Deadpool and

(09:36):
Wolverine like they they still do off color comedy. All right,
let me just give you very in vogue to say
you can't make that today. Let me run through a
few things of the funny things. Okay, great moments in
Jewish sports history. Okay, that's a part. Do you think
I could be anything, say Sandy Kofax did, Well, it's
a pamphlet.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well you just said it.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Oh, I think I'm gonna be canceled speaking jive. Okay,
very funny to me, maybe not funny to others. Yeah,
just but comed never mind, where we don't need to
get into this. I think I think comedy is still today.
I hope you're right. I hope you're right. But it's
funny because people say that you can't all in the
family couldn't be said today? Well, weren't they dropping in

(10:16):
bombs and everything?

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah? So I think that's good? All right?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Is there anything goes Friday? The Matt Thomas Show with
Ross seven one three, two one two five seven, and
if you want to jump in on the conversation, Uh,
there is no one in the marketplace, not even like
YouTube shows aren't talking about Texans Cowboys. Why is that?
I don't know, Matt. Nobody's breaking it down, certainly, not
like this show. You know what? You know the reason
why there's no buzz for this game, there is buzz.

(10:42):
There's zero buzs F'm buzzing hard right now. I know
you're buzzing Harvard for different reasons. By the way, I'm
getting a lot of tailored emails saying keep talking about her.
She's fine by me. That's one Jay shout out to you.
She he knows what he's looking at too, as is
the rest of America. Yeah, she's quite attractive. But does
she need do we need to interject talking about her

(11:03):
every single day? She she had?

Speaker 8 (11:05):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I think she had the the Eagles giving up the
points of the Commanders last night. I mean, if you're
in that kind of thing. Okay, how are her picks doing?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Overall?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I think she's had about a two fifty winning clip.
My favorite is when she she makes a couple of
picks and one of them is like a minus three
hundred favorite, and then she puts out the record like
it's not about units, it's about how many. Oh yeah
I went two and one. Well, yeah, you picked two
huge favorites. You should be going too. And one that's
Tony Hatchett, the Man, Tony the Hatchetman, Valentine stuff. Maybe
they're working together, you never know, and then goes Friday

Speaker 9 (12:42):
What more.

Speaker 10 (12:44):
Matt Thomas now on Sports Talk seven ninety Today.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Is our final day for another pair of tickets to
give away to see justin Timberlake. We have one pair,
is that correct? Connors will make sure we have that right. Okay,
one pair, So the first person to win on Believe
It or Not, which is Hellia or not? Today we'll
be winning a Paara ticket Cee JT. Now the password
is something that's going to allow you to get in.
We'll give the password out multiple times for the show. Okay,

(13:13):
can I go with the Yeah, it's your turn, Brittany, Brittany, Brittany,
why is that the password when they when they lovers?
At one point? I believe so, yes, Yeah, he's married
to Jessica Beel Oh. Okay, this is not about his
music or his story career or movies he's it's it's

(13:37):
about women he slept with. I mean it is. It's
not like the Jeter tree. It's not bad though, it's
not bad. Just telling you, I think there's a lot
of overlap with Jeter quite frankly. Okay, so here we
go for scrapping Brittany, the password is Jessica.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
At least you chose his wife.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
By the way, justin Timberlake's uh list, Cameron Diaz Britney
spears days According to Google, Yes, Alyssa Milano, Oh, Jessica, Bill,
isn't this Olivia Munn? Oh my god, Rihanna?

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Is this true?

Speaker 2 (14:16):
What Fergie Veronica? He was with Scarlet Johanson too, No way, Beyonce,
that can't be No, no, this is made up.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
This is from Google dot com, but also Google dot
COM's added this AI thing that is often wrong. Yeah,
Janet Jackson, that's that's jeter esque. He's a Hall of
Famer in more than ways than what. All Right, So
Jessica is the password today? Jessica Jessica, not Jessica Bill.

(14:51):
I mean you can say Jessica, bil, Jessica Timberlake. Yeah,
any of those are applicable, So Jessica has to be
part of the Okay, that will be the password. When
we go to Believe or Not helly are not one
fifty one fifty, you will be asked the password, say Jessica,
and you will let you on to win a pair
one left, one left, one pair left of justin timberl
I'll try to write difficult questions today for you, Connor,

(15:14):
because here's the thing. If nobody wins today, Connor gets
those tickets. Yes, So if Connor was really crafty, he
would say, Matt, people have been calling in. They don't
know the password, so we should have him write the questions.
The chemical formula for this this is thirty eight percent.
This Yes, see, but it's believe it or not, I'm
telling fifty fifty. No matter how difficult the questions are.
He still got a fifty fifty show. All right, Hell

(15:36):
ye are not today at one fifty here on Supports
Talk seven, Honey, Let's talk to Steve on Anything Goes Friday.
Steve at ten twenty four. Good morning, Hey, Good morning,
Matt and Ross.

Speaker 10 (15:46):
Uh.

Speaker 11 (15:47):
This is kind of a long overdue thank you message
to both of you, longtime Mastros fan. I really enjoyed
Disastro seasons. I enjoyed the World Series a little bit,
thought it would be more of a dogfight. But this
is the kind of time of year where I'm lonesome
for MLB baseball. I'm not much of a basketball fan,

(16:08):
but I get it. And I really enjoy y'all's passion.
Hearing y'all's passion for the Rockets and everything, and especially
I hate the time after the Super Bowl where there's
no football and no baseball. But anyway, I just want
to thank you guys for a wonderful Astro season. I
enjoy y'all's content very much, particularly from your show, and

(16:31):
I had a curious question for the offseason. I know
we have our Astros flag plant in pretty solid in Cuba.
I was wondering if we could maybe take that over
to Japan and scout out some good players that are
coming out of there. They don't all just need to
go to the Dodgers, but I thought there'd be some

(16:53):
good pitching in the farm.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
Over in Japan.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Thank you guys for all you do.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Thank you say that much appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Uh. It has been basically a philosophy of this organization
for going on thirty years that the money they spend
in international waters and scouting is in the Dominican Republic,
in the Mexican leagues. They just have never really gotten
involved in the Pacific area, Japan and China. That not

(17:22):
because frankly, a lot of those players that have come
over there have gone to West Coast cities and New York.
That is a brutal truth. I mean, I again, has
the Royals ever really claimed an international player from Japan
over the years. No, Saint Louis doesn't even do that.
Chicago doesn't really even do that. It's in basically Seattle

(17:44):
all the way down to San Diego. For some reason,
they just feel like it's just and it doesn't make
any sense, because it's a it's a far tripment of
what and if you're, if you are, if you are
Headeki Nomo, Adeo Nomo or in Decie whatever Headki's cousin Dan,
you'll be popular, man of where you are. Eachiro Suzuki
was gonna be was gonna be just as pipolter as

(18:04):
a raise. He would have been a Seattle Mariner. Yeah,
I'm just trying to think. I mean, I'm just looking
it up. Shutdow Amonga is with the Cubs. Where did
did you Darvey start with the Dodgers? I know Kakuchi
did he. I believe he started with the Mariners. That's
all West Coast, right, not every one of the players
from that Pacific part of the world. It is, but

(18:25):
it's also a higher it's a higher highest bidder system,
isn't it. Yeah, Well, unless you're of a certain if,
unless you are a there's a rule where if you're
a certain age with a certain experience, like for instance,
there's this kid right now that's being talked about. You
can't just pay overpay him to come sign here. He's
got he's got. You got to use your international pool.
Was a posting I thought there was a posting fee

(18:46):
and then you could just go, bit you can't and
this kid change it.

Speaker 12 (18:49):
Now.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, there's a new guy that's out right now that
I don't know his name because I couldn't pronounce it.
But he is twenty three years ago what you're talking about,
and he is being sought after. But they can't go
strike it rich with a stocky Sasaki. Yeah. I think
for three million dollars you can get him, which every
team obviously would go through. But I think he is
leaning towards a preference towards one of the Pacific time

(19:10):
zone teams. No, but I and it's been asked before
by other general managers. I think every team just kind
of decides, hey, we think we've got a certain pocket
of the world that is more advantageous for us, and
I think the Dominican players. The Venezuelan area has first
of all done the Astros very good. I mean, look
at all the number of players that have come there
in just the last fifteen years for this Astros team,

(19:32):
and so they've just decided it's better for us to
invest in that area. We can get those players to
come here as compared to trying to go after and
try to outbid a lot of times players that are
playing in China or Japan. I don't think they're favoring
one over the other. I think this is just kind
of the way it's been shaking out. I think g
Gravis is allowed to do it. I don't think the
astros have been like, yeah, we don't need Japanese players.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
We're good.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
No, no, not at all. By the way, we have
a brand new Connor will give you a few seconds
to get this ready. We have a brand new update.
When we come back, when will debut it? And the
question is do we have an update on the update.

Speaker 4 (20:04):

You don't think of a Chandler four hour conversation could
get you going. Let's see what gets me bogoging, Chandler
Rome waxing philosophic about baseball, or James freaking Brown all right.
MSN has a report out today that says the five
teams that would be of most interest of Bregnant would
be the Astros, the Yankees, the Mets, the Blue Jays,

(23:19):
and the Nationals. What this has become? He is so gone?
He is so gone, so gone? Should we rehearse? Which
song are we gonna go? We could do And this
is gonna irritate some people. I'm already irritated looking at you.

(23:40):
We could do, we could start pre recording some farewells.
No stop, Well, I can do it, though, because I'm
gonna be gone. You know what it could happen. That's
this is actually a terrible idea, because if it happens
while you're gone, we're gonna people are gonna want to
hear your reaction to it. That's true. So I'm thinking
someone like you, by Adele, I mean, there are so
many options for breakup songs.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
I mean, this will be the day that he leaves.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Whenever it will be, we'll have Connor will have zero
difficulty trying to find songs at match so I want
you to find a song that you want, and then
we're gonna let you have about forty five or sixty
seconds to say your goodbyes because you want to do it. Okay,
just in case he's gone, Are we ready? I put
it in there? All right, here we go. It is

(24:30):
Blank Blank on Sports Talk seven ninety on Blank the
Blank Day, and we have just found out that Alex
Bregman is going to the Blank. His time as an
Astro is over. He is going to play for the Blank.
And for his thoughts on Alex leaving the Astros to
go play for Blank is Rossfield Reale Alex Bregman. We'll

(24:55):
never forget you. We'll never forget how you. We were
one of the representatives of ushering in the golden era
of the Houston Astros, taken number two overall in the
draft along with Carlos Correa, in the crop of the
young up and coming players, where we said we're not
gonna lose a hunder games anymore. And then you matriculated

(25:20):
through the minor leagues. You came up and you struggled mightily,
and you look terrible, but people always believed in you,
especially LSU Tigers like Chris Cordy, and then eventually you
hit your full potential, especially when there was a juice
ball and you were hitting like forty home runs, which
you can't do anymore. But we appreciate you. Alex, crack
this up. Don't forget me.

Speaker 13 (25:57):
Sometimes it is.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
I'm sorry I was letting the death speak to me.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
I was gonna say, We're gonna remember the multiple times
you were an All Star. We're gonna remember you calling
Trevor Bauer, Tyler Bauer. We're gonna remember Wheelbear should have
walked them the wheelbarrow, all the great moments, the leadership
you provided. Jose Al too may begging you to come back,

(26:26):
and before you're done wishing the best of luck.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I wish you the best of luck with Blank.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
The Yankees.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
No, every team got out the way here go ahead
to finish.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Wish you the best luck with the Nationals, the Yankees,
the Mets, the Mariners, the Red Sox.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
You're forgetting one, Tigers, the Tigers.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
A J.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
Hinch could take them away from it. It is over
the Astros Golden era. I'm saying it. It's over. No,
Alex Bregman. They're gonna sign some Jake Off of the
scrap heap Jake Myers. Maybe we'll put him at third.

(27:15):
I'm sad and I'm sorry to see you go, Alex.
You'll be missed, gone but not forgotten. And you wish
him the very best in and I wish you the
very best in Seattle, New York, Washington, Dallas, California, Baltimore,
the United States of America with the Dousan Bears in Soul, Korea,

(27:35):
and that's not happening. You can edit that one off.
That's not gonna be a part of it. All right,
You've done your job, thank you. So so what I'm
thinking is if I do this, we can take a
whole day off, just play it on a loop and
just ord to take callers ahead of time. Hmm. Okay,
let's not do that. I mean, it's kind of sad
to do that, but only use that if he signed

(27:56):
in the next two weeks. Yeah, we'll We'll get you
to should up when you get back.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Okay, thanks. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Chander did say that he would be not completely shocked,
but he would be surprised if Bregman didn't sign before
Soto because for so he said, he not likely, but
he says there are teams that are still going to
do their due diligence on Alex Bregman regardless of where
if Soto goes anywhere so that he doesn't, they may

(28:26):
try to get both, which would there's more teams that
can sign Soto that can Son then can sign Uh,
more teams that can sign Bregman that can sign Sodo.
But also it feels like it would be Scott Morris waiting.
The market would be is going to be more robust
when you have people who strike out on Soto and
are scrambling to the next best option, and Alex Pregman

(28:47):
would be one of those. It's like when you were
dating you went for ten, you didn't get a ten. No,
it's like if you settle for a seven, it's like
one thirty am at the bar. You gotta scramble for
the next best thing. Alex Bregman is not a one
three at the bar and guy he's ten, he's the
next mess, he's ten, fifteen. No, you're trying to pick
up You're trying to pick up the nine point five.

(29:08):
Then she goes home with someone else. Guess what, you
got to scramble to something? No, you know what if
if Soto's at ten bregg he's an eight, He'll okay,
I just make sure I forget sometimes that's seven more fun, Matti.
The seven will do more things, not as much work.

(29:29):
I gotta go. I gotta go, Fewer drinks, less cuddling.
So Alex Bregman is the is the we're gonna say.
We're not saying one thirty am that that's that's that's
not respecting him. I'm just saying he's more like eleven fifteen, ten,
eleven thirty. He's not the five at one thirty. But

(29:50):
he's just he's just not the first option. He's the
second option. Okay, the first option is either one soda
or curb Corbin Burns or Blake Snell. Probably, Okay, that's right.
You're going home and Bregman and feeling great about it. Yeah,
you're feeling pretty good.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
I feel good.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
You're feeling you're selling your she You're gonna sure bregmant
to mom and dad a lot fashion. You think you're
We're going home with a silver slugger yeah, and a
gold glove yeah. And he grabs everything. Yeah, I mean
does a great job at the hot corner. He's fiery
you know he carries a world barrow, so they can't
be wrong with that. Ron on seven ninety at ten

(30:30):
forty one, Ron, good morning.

Speaker 14 (30:32):
Good morning, Matt Ross, love the show Man, Thank you,
love the New Time spots to you there. Yeah, I
just wanna, you know, say you appreciate Alex Bregnan all
that he's done, been a great player for us. Wish
him the best in his future in all of his
horse racing endeavors, and hope that every one of his
horses wins the Triple Crown every year. And this notorious
slow start hopefully he can work on that too. But anyway,

(30:55):
just thoughts love Bregman. Hope he stays, but wish him
the best if he goes.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yes see, we're not doing on doing this. Thanks Ron
for the phone called Ron's ready. Ron is prepared. Ron
had that set up, locked and loaded. Brought up a
horse racing. You know how much Buggs loves his horse racing.
That's how I know he's gonna get the most money possible,
you know, cheap. You see, he can't go to the
Kentucky Derby because it's in May, so he's always playing baseball. Wow,
that's true. Did he take a weekend off. No, you

(31:20):
cannot go to your new team after a fresh new contract.
What I need to do? I need a three day weekend
to go see the Kentucky Derby. Maybe he'll sign in
Cincinnati so he can be close. That's actually not a
terrible call on your part, or Saint Louis, what about this?
What if he gets a horse that competes in the
Kentucky Derby and he takes the scheduled off day, he
plays Friday night. Yeah, jumps on a plane, gets there

(31:43):
for the race, takes Saturday off, back in his bed
in his new home on Saturday night, and he plays Sunday,
then the one o'clock game on Sunday.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
I got no problem with that, And his teammates might,
but I don't.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
That's a good question. We'll have to ask him. The
team that signs him to one hundred and eighty million
dollars contract might have an issue with it, but I don't.
I don't have an issue with either. Guys needs a
day off. Yeah, my god, Jeffy, if you get PTO,
you got PTL, put on a big hat, crushing mint
julips and have a good time. I mean, and I

Speaker 6 (34:12):
More.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Matt Thomas now.

Speaker 10 (34:16):
On Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I put up a pull question for today on the
Matt Thomas Twitter account at sportsm TAM. I'm gonna say
which Twitter, by the way, and dis a variety of
reasons for it. First of all, it's the most popular platform.
Don't put the hands on. I don't make any money
off of Twitter. I don't not a damn thing. And
while there are other websites, other social platforms that are

(34:44):
trying to get going, they just don't have the reach
at this point. So if they eventually, if blue Sky
gets the reach and Threads gets to reach, I'll be
more than happy to change over. But I know a
lot of people are deactivating their accounts. I know a
lot of the fake bots are gone, so that's they're
getting better on that. It's more authentic number of people.
I block people constantly that I know are bots, so
it gives my number one because I like to have

(35:05):
an authentic number as much as I can.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
Okay, but yeah, that's just so where I'm going to go.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
So the pole question is on the Twitter at sports
MT is a interest in the Paul versus Tyson tonight?
Mm hmm and uh. The answer is the options are
I can't wait or don't care? And let me see
what the people have said so far.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
What if you're in between more of a like I
guess I'll keep an eye on it.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
You if you make the move to go to your
Netflix account and click it, that would mean you're you're
looking to watch it. It's kind of flippant. It's no,
I'm gonna put it on this, I'm gonna put it
on the second TV. But mostly we don't have second TVs.
I think they need to very cheap. Now you're entitled,
so it works that way. No, it's it's like cheap hole.

(35:54):
It's a cheap TV with burning on it. Matt gives
you something with it. Can't wait forty seven fifty three percent,
So I would say, I'm mildly I want to see
I don't really want to watch it, but I'm probably
going to.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
So my question, I'm in between them.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
I got the Rockets game that I had seven yes,
I'm more locked in on the rock, so my game,
I'll be home probably ten to fifteen ish if it's
If it's on, well I can't you know what, I
can actually go back and watch it whenever I want
because it isn't even on I mean what time, I
don't even know what time. The fun you don't even
have to watch it live. You don't want to because Netflix,
you just you just dial up whenever you want to.
Is that true with this fight? Is that true with
the live supports they do? Yeah? Because as I know,

(36:29):
on Amazon Prime, I can go back and start at
the very beginning. Let's say, Yeah, but the game's already over,
can you Because I think that the NFL Plus has
their replace stuff. So I don't know if that at all,
but I know that I've jumped into games late on
Amazon Prime.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
I said, you can start from the beginning, you can
do that, But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
I honestly don't, Okay, I think Netflix probably is giving
me the option of watching it. It's a freak show, honestly.
And we've got some audio that we're going to play
in the start of the next hour about how Mike
Tyson views his legacy and we're gonna go with that, okay,
or if he even believes in the legacy, we'll have
it for you coming up in a little bit. But
that's the question, is Jake Paul tonight can't wait or

(37:06):
not interested? With him and Mike Tyson. And again the
pole question is out very early on fifty five percent,
not interested in forty five And by the way, Ryan,
I know the UA is just playing to Night. That
wasn't the question. I'm not asking what your viewing habits are.
I'm asking you what you're doing. Can't wait or not interested?
That's It's pretty simple. I'm not looking for playing C
or D. I would hope your plan A would be Rockets,

(37:28):
playing B would be uh, Cougars. But I was asking
about that. My plan A is Rockets and then I'll
put the fight on the second TV and the Cougars
are playing B. Oh, you know what I'll put the
I'll put the Cougars on. It's nine to fifteen playing Arizona.
Oh it's football.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Oh, and I'm good. I'd rather watch their basketball team
much better. What I'm sorry me and most of America.
We're on the Friday nd game of the week.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
It means because nobody wants to do it's two crowded
on Saturdays. Nobody to watch your team. I don't know
if Fox is a Friday game every week and they're
puny people watching thatts you say U c La and
Washington Tonight on Fox on Fox with Myers on Fox
Sports One. Still a big network? Is it full of
great shows? Yes? A lot of great talking shows. I
believe the lead in is the fishing program. That's true,

(38:19):
and then afterwards it's gonna be Billy Mays and Naxie Clean.
This is actually the postgame, not true. James and Alvin
on seven nine and ten to fifty five. James, Good morning, James.
I hear you in the background. All right, James, we're
gonna put you on hoole. Will try this again. Good talk, James,
it was great talk. Appreciate you. I'm not an MMA guy.

(38:42):
I'm not a boxing guy. I used to be a
boxing guy, but the sports has got so corrupt and
full of lack of stars that it just didn't do
anything for me anymore. Else But I'll watch it because
I like freak shows. There's probably just one must watch
Global Star and well, I'm still gonna stick with one
for for the general p that'd probably be Canelo Alvarez.
Outside of that, do you know who Tyson Fury is?

(39:06):
I've heard the name, okay, good. Do you know who
Alexander Yusik is? No clue?

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (39:11):
But MMA has taken over. Uh yeah, MMA is a
bigger sport absolutely boxing. Boxing killed itself with the with
these greedy promoters and then going with going with the
Four Belts, the w b A, the wb O, the WBC,
the IBF. They they killed themselves. And times change with sports.

(39:33):
I mean there was one hundred years ago boxing and
horse racing were the two biggest sports, absolutely, and then
NASCAR for a while was supposed to be the sport
and it's kind of falling back to where it's supposed
to be.

Speaker 3 (39:45):
No, you know, nobody trusted boxing.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
There was there was uh bad judging, there was controversial endings.
There was people that you couldn't recognize. You had doping,
you had unsavory. First, I had pay per view that
was with me and killed it. Yeah, paper the pay
per view model just did not work out. You can't
build up fighter. People don't get attached to the to
the personalities and watch fighters grow up and progress in

(40:10):
their careers. And it's because it's on this streaming service
Designe which costs hundreds of dollars, and then they tack
on a pay per view feet on top of that.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeap, no thanks one more time.

Speaker 12 (40:21):
James you there, yes, sir, thank you for accepting my call.

Speaker 15 (40:25):
Can you hear me?

Speaker 3 (40:27):
Yes, sir, yes, James will hear you just well.

Speaker 12 (40:30):
Oh good good. I'm kind of gonna pick it back
on what you guys are talking about on Addie Brigman.
Addis Brickman is the best third baseman in all professional baseball.
If you want to look at his resume, not too
many third basements and say they went to eight consecutive
Playoffs appearance, seven consecutive ALCSS. So with two World Series rings,

(40:55):
folk World Series appearance. That is a publishment that no
other third baseman can say. Now, Jim Crane, Jim Crane
is no more than a businessman, cause Alex Redman put
a lot of money in Jim crane pocket. People paid tickets.

(41:18):
Now you're gonna get somebody up from the triple A
double A Phil Alex Brickman shoes and you're not gonna
get the same results. I can remember when twenty fifteen
Jim Crane had a sixteen million dollar pay roll and
made ae hundred million dollar profit. Owners got together and

(41:40):
called a commissioner. Hey, this guy down there in Houston,
he's not he's not he's not a he's not playing.

Speaker 15 (41:47):
By the rules.

Speaker 12 (41:48):
So I just fought this on Jim Crane and the
way he it's his ball club, it's his business. I
just fought his way of doing business. But you will
see a bunch of paper baits in uh in man
in May thank you for.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Thank you, James. I don't I don't think any of
that's true. Owners came after Jim Crane for not spending anything,
and then he tuned up as spending. James is just
flat out making stuff up. I don't recall that.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
I don't either. Rob Manford is online.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Three. We never came to Houston and told Jim Crane
how to spend his money. No, they didn't spend early on.
The team came good, became good, and Jim Crane spent
a lot, has spent a lot.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Top five.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
I mean they went over the he went over the
luxury tax.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Yes, he did competive spending.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
One went over. Maybe it's still going over. Yeah, we'll
see if he'll do it again. Well, the other time
he did it was the COVID and there was no penalties. Yeah,
but this year didn't He got a penalty.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
All right.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Uh so how does Mike Tyson view this fight tonight
from a legacy standpoint?

Speaker 3 (42:54):
We'll tell you about that.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
Start the second hour of the Matt Tommy Show with
Ross here on Sports Talk seven ETI.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Launch timers. This is the Matt Thomas Show.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
All right, eleven O three? Who's ready for Texans and
Cowboys on Monday? You know what, We're not gonna be ready, Ross,
No one's ready for this game except on Monday.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
It's two teams.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
One is spiraling out of control and one more is
one more loss going from spilling out of control. Despite
winning another AFC South Championship AFC South banner, start stitching
it up. Do they hang banners or do they put
a list on there?

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Should?

Speaker 2 (43:30):
They don't even know? Should they just like like super
impose one. I have like a shining light on it
within a change the year after year after the year.
When they win it, it's automatic. Yeah, crank it up
like the like the home run pump it minute made right.
The number changes. I like that number of AFC South titles,
number of divisional wins. Well, that's Star's looking for one
of those. But that's a different issue for a different time.

(43:51):
All right. Uh so we have you to join us
at seven one three two, one two five seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven nine zero
it is and anything goes friddy, and that would include
a bizarre fight tonight. Have you seen the weigh in
with Mike Tyson where he slapped Jake Paul. Yeah, and

(44:13):
the way he I mean, there's no body found on
the guy. I mean give him that. He's fifty eight
years old. He's fifty eight years old. He was recently hospitalized.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
And it's I just don't think it's gonna go well
for I want.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Look to me, it's a win win because I want
to I don't have a bookie, Like I said, I
want to bet on Jake Paul. I feel like the
odds are just it's just ridiculous. See, I don't have
I don't know enough about Jake Paul's skills to say.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
They're not very good. They're not very good.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
But he's big and strong, but what's the age difference.
He's twenty seven years old, big and strong. Mike Tyson
is fifty eight years old. And if you look in
that workout, it's he he's falling off balance. He just
does that grain as beard. Well, yeah, there's nothing wrong.
Oh that man, I know, I know, I'm sorry, as
I would say, yes, he doesn't look like he's moving

(45:07):
super well. He was hospitalized with ulcers recently. I would
love nothing more for him to knock Jake Paul out,
but I just don't think it's gonna all right, So
let's do this real quick. If Mike Tyson gets beat
tonight quickly, this will end these faux fight, these these
one offs, right, you know these crazy let's uh put

(45:30):
weird people against weird people kind of fights. You're gonna
say that the Netflix shelled out millions of dollars for this.
They got a big hype for this. A bunch of
people are gonna be watching, and they're gonna stop doing it. Uh.
I think if it goes one round in a minute
and a half and it's embarrassing and bad, I mean
I think that there will be hesitation. I don't think
it'll be elimination, but there'll be some there'll be some
serious hesitation, like, for instance, name somebody of Mike Tyson's

(45:53):
stature that is well past his I mean, maybe boxing
is a bad example of that because we got guys
retiring and coming back all the time. I'd be like
a pickup game between uh, let's go Anthony Edwards of
Minnesota and Julius Irving. I'd watch that. I know you
would because you're a sicko. But if Anthony Edwards is

(46:15):
making is making. Yeah. But if if Anthony Edwards is
making Julius Irving run around the court and he's huffing
and puffing and he's holding his heart like he's gonna
have a heart attack, We're not gonna watch these crazy
ass events anymore. But Jake Paul is not a serious
boxer like Anthony Edws was one of the best basketball
players in the planet. Jake Paul is a YouTuber and

(46:35):
he has a professional boxing career basically via YouTube. His
knockouts include guys like Nate Robinson, ty and like guys
who were UFC fighters like Nate. He's fought Nate Diaz,
He's fought Tyron Woodley, and he his one loss was
when he fought somebody who was actually a boxer, Tommy Fury.

(46:57):
Since then, he's been fighting a much people I never
heard of. Who's Mike Perry. Okay, so let's do the
reverse on this. Let's say Tyson guns there and kicks
his ass. There's gonna be a pleth of these coming out.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
That's why. That's why I don't think it's gonna.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
Happen if I was. If I was, you can bet
on this fight. Obviously. First of all, I think there's
a thing, there's something borderline corrupt to it. Just because
of theatrics on it. I don't trust it, so I
wouldn't bet it. But even if I was asked to
bet out, I don't know which side I go on
on this because Mike Tyson again, Granny's fifty eight, but

(47:36):
he's he's one of the goats of all time. He
looks like you can crush anybody with a grape Still
to this day. Jake Paul has no discernible boxing skills.
Is the main reason why he's such a heavy favorite.
Because he's thirty years younger. I guess that would be it. Yes,
there is a reason all the highlights in these hype
videos for Mike Tyson are from nineteen eighty nine. Yeah,

(47:58):
he's fifty eight years old, and the last time he
went out there in a professional ring he quit against
Kevin McBride. And then he went out there four years
ago against Roy Jones Junior, who is at least a
former professional fighter, and he didn't look good there. That
was four years.

Speaker 3 (48:13):
Ago, all right, So we're betting the house on Jake Paul.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
I know it's I'm convincing everyone that Mike Tyson's gonna
know and so got's win win. If I lay money
on Jake Paul to win and he gets knocked out
by Mike Tyson, I'm okay with that. That's win win
because I'm a Tyson guy's crazy rooting for Tyson. I
just don't think he has a shot, okay. As a

(48:38):
young man watching him compete, it was the most feared
man alive until Buster Douglas ruined all that. Most boxers
are retired by like thirty five.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
Max.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
Well, now now these days with sports science, they're fighting
into thirty nine to forty and stuff like that. But
and Mike Tyson wasn't even good at the end of
his career, all right, So now here's page two of
the story. I don't know how this happened. I don't
know the backstory to it, but there is a young
reporter that got an opportunity to talk to Mike Tyson

(49:11):
to promote this event coming up tonight. Yeah. Apparently she's
like thirteen years old. I don't know if she's got
a YouTube channel. There's a lot of kid reporters who
go to these go to sports events and ask questions.
Osel TWOV has been interviewed by some of them, and
I mean in every sport. So you have these thirteen
year olds that are trying to generate views and they're
going to win on this had a chance to catch
up with Mike Tyson. Now, some teams, like sports teams

(49:34):
will have a kid reporter for the night where they
get to talk to the coach for the game that
kind of think kind of fun stuff. This apparently was
semi legit and it did not end well for this
kid reporter. Here is this kid reporter talking to Mike
Tyson prior to the fight tonight, and you're in.

Speaker 16 (49:50):
Turns of the ring for this fight. You are setting
a monumental opportunity for kids my age to see the
legend Mike Tyson in the ring for the first time. So,
after such a successful career, what type of legacy would
you like to leave behind when it's all said and done.

Speaker 14 (50:04):
Man, I don't know.

Speaker 17 (50:04):
I don't believe in the word legacy. I just think
that's another word for ego. Legacy doesn't mean nothing. That's
just some word everybody grabbed on to. Someone said that word,
and everyone grabbed on the words, and I was used
every five seconds. It means absolutely nothing to me. I'm
just passing through. I'm gonna die and it's gonna be over.
Who cares about a legacy after that? With a big egosol,

(50:27):
I'm gonna die. I want people to think that I'm this,
I'm great, I'm no ware nothing where you're dead with dust,
absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.

Speaker 16 (50:38):
Well, thank you so much for sharing that. That is
something that I have not heard before someone say that
as an answer.

Speaker 17 (50:43):
Can you really imagine somebody saying I want my legacy
to be this way when I get dead?

Speaker 15 (50:49):
Why do you want to play?

Speaker 4 (50:50):
You think I really want to think about you? How?
What's the adaptay?

Speaker 17 (50:54):
I think I want people to think about me when
I'm gone. Who these cares about me When I'm gone,
I'm liked.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Poor little kid is like that kid. That kid is
seeing a therapist right now. That kid is unfortunate on
suicide watch, and that kid will be permanently staying for
the rest of his life. He'll be seeing a therapist
for the rest of his life. Welcome to nihilism, kid,
that's great. Does that sound like a man motivated to
knock out Jake Paul? I would say yes. He sounds

(51:27):
so angry. He's ross, he's not happy with his life.
If he's not happy with his life, he's going to
terrorize Jake Paul. Hmm, Okay, he didn't go in there going.
You know, I'm really looking forward to this opportunity. I
want those older guys to have some fun out there.
I want to let everybody know that I wasn't left
for dead. You know, I was doing a career in

(51:49):
television and movies and whatnot. I'm still an athlete. I'm
looking forward to this, and kid, it's nice for you
to come over and say hello. He did the opposite.
I don't care about you, I don't care about legacy,
I don't care about my life. When I y I'm
just gonna be a little bit of dust and I'm
gonna drop anip on in front of your kid. Sounds
like he's ready to go for tonight. For me, it's great.
I think he's absolutely ready to go all right. Seven

Speaker 2 (56:56):

we want to out here? So we're not doctors. We
didn't We didn't wake up next to Nico Collins this morning.

Speaker 3 (57:19):
That that'd be weird.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Limited participation. We're into week six of this hammy. Yes, now,
two things I could you could say about that. One
they're treating in with kid gloves. I'm okay with that.
Or two it's just ain't d percent yet.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
Gut feeling.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
I have a full, full practice, gut feeling, kid gloves,
gut feeling. He'll have a full practice within the next
couple of days or I don't know if they're gonna
go there there with a Saturday as a Friday. Yes, okay,
there'll be a full practice designation gut feeling, and then
he will play on Monday. You kind of need him.
It is a must win game, you know what. I

(58:05):
would like to have somebody back me up on this.
I'm sure there's dozens of I'm the weird one.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
I get it now again.

Speaker 2 (58:12):
I value when you take things literally, but everything in
life should not be taken literally. I correct, But in
this one of those cases where I don't take this literally.
When I come to you, and I don't come to
you with must wins every time, you know, don't do
you've Actually you're better than most, better than most. But
in my world here, the reality is, they win this game.

(58:35):
I think you're gonn feel a lot better about themselves.
If they lose this game. They're still in first place
in the ANFC South. There's nobody else challenging them. But
I think from a morale standpoint, from a are we
a really serious football team? Or are we just a
byproduct of playing in a ridiculously bad division? I lost

(58:55):
to the Cowboys, who are flat out imploding. Not only
they lose games, Rossie, they get embarrassed, and they get
embarrassed at home. No one has gone to at and
T Stadium this year and it said, I don't think
we're gonna win this game. The Cowboys can't win this
camp can't They don't lose in their home building. They
now Rossie. They lose in their home building, they get
their ass kicked in their home building. That's why, in

(59:16):
my mind it is not literally but for us as
sports radio host, a must win for this team. Okay,
I've made my point. Yes, go ahead. There's just with
this some people take it too far. Game two of
the Rocket season is a must win game. That just
spilled his drink everywhere, Swatter.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
At least you didn't spilled coffee all over the console
like last time. I'm proud of you, thank you, and
I just take the gray area out. If you can't
be eliminated, it's not a must win game because there's
too much gray area. Oh, second game against the Rockets
after losing to the Hornets, this is a must win game. Cowboys,
this is a must win game. I think you're using
too bad exam. You either must win it or you

(01:00:01):
must not. You're either eliminated or you're not. I keep
it simple, that's all. And I understand I'm in the
way way way at least you know the way, minority.
Unleast you know that, And I'm okay with that. I
don't give out opinions to be with the crowd. Matthew, No,
I give out the opinions that should be respected and
thought of and highly. You want to try that, Yeah, okay.

(01:00:27):
And the reality is this team loses on Monday night,
which you're not going to do. You're going to have
what was the point of the team meetings? You're gonna
have what's wrong with CJ. You're gonna have is Demiko
just an average coach at best. You're gonna have all
these things start to run together and it's not going

(01:00:51):
to end well. And you know who's gonna wear this
as much as the players are. It's gonna be probably
a little nikky see on this too.

Speaker 8 (01:01:04):
I think.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
So you guys think about this. What if the Texans
lose this week? What's gonna be the problem? Uh? They
turned the ball over too much? I would probably say,
whether it be or c J show is that you
can say that beout any game. But what has been
their hassles this year? Not being able to put together
four quarters a very suspect offensive line. I'm saying that

(01:01:25):
with this game, that's the only way because they're not
giving up points, they're not giving up points to Cooper Rush,
and then unless they're turning it all over. That's the
only way they're gonna lose. I mean, that's to me,
that's it. I just still think, and I'm going back
to two weeks that it was malpractice for Nick Asserio
to say what he said about the trade to nine.

(01:01:46):
Can you pull that cut up again? My computer is
way frozen. I've been trying to pull something up. Well,
I'm sorry, Okay, Connor might have it. Can you find it? Connor?
Remember that one?

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
This is pre trade devil trying to play my must
win bit.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Oh you have one?

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
Yeah, I've played it for you before.

Speaker 15 (01:02:01):
Good.

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Let's see if this works. Let's see if my computer's unfrozen.

Speaker 18 (01:02:05):
Love whenever there's a best of seven series, because then
I get you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
Know you stop Jesus Sorry, It's not gonna be my
problem for two weeks? Is this is this must win?
Or is this Casio Casario? I think here's Caserio usually
much ado about nothing.

Speaker 19 (01:02:24):
So essentially, a lot of players, you're a lot of
players that get moved. A are on a kind of
expiring type contracts. B hasn't worked out with their team.
Most of it is kind of late round picks, some flips. Essentially,
you saw if you trades there with a compensation. Maybe
it was a little bit bigger than what it was,
but you're kind of looking at your team. If there's

(01:02:44):
an opportunity to add a player that you have a specific,
defined role for, great, If not, it's just you know,
you're not going to do something just to do something,
just to create a bunch of busy work.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
That is so bad to say twenty four terrible message
to send to the fan base when the Lions, Steelers chiefs,
I mean, when they're all making moves to improve their
team and you're sitting on your hands to say it's
much ado about nothing. That's just not true anymore. You
are stuck in the mud in an archaic way of thinking.

(01:03:19):
If that's what you think about the trade deadline in
the NFL, open your eyes, take your head out of
the sand, and look at what's going on around the league.
The league said, we're active. The league has been as
active this year with trade deadlines. Are was that it
had been probably in the previous five years. And the
Texans that on their hands, nick Ce, you gon'll wear
it if this offensive line continues to cause issues. The

(01:03:42):
A team had a guest on yesterday said what's promise
c J. The guy said, I don't know what. I
think it was some Dallas NFL network says, look, his
feet aren't set, he's skittish, he's not following through just
the things that me, my untrained eye said.

Speaker 3 (01:03:54):
To you two weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Well, I think that's a it's a byproduct of his
offensive line having zero trust. He's rushing things not filed.
You know, every quarterback faces pressure. He's facing he's facing
abnormal pressure. Phone calls. The next Gillan Hockey will start
with you. Andything goes Friday seven one three two one

Talk seven ninety hands streaming on the Iart radio ad

Speaker 18 (01:04:26):
Rockets is love whenever there's a best of seven series,
because then I get to hear my favorite sports reporter question,
would you consider this a must win game? You know
they always feel like they have to say, yes, yeah,
we want to win it very important. You know, got
our uniforms on it. Anyway, might as well try.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
But it's not always the right answer.

Speaker 6 (01:04:54):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
It's a math question.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
I wish I would answer that question.

Speaker 18 (01:04:58):
Honestly, it's a best of seven, you're down one game
to nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
Would you consider this a must win game?

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
No?

Speaker 18 (01:05:10):
No, we can lose tonight. We can lose tomorrow night too.
We don't want to. But that wasn't your question. You
asked if it was a must win game. And if
you'd ever taken a rudimentary math class, you'd already know
the magic numbers three. When you're down three, then you
must win them or you're out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Very funny, but and true. But we don't deal in
absolutes here. If we dealt in absolutes, we would never
want to do sports talk radio because all we do
is guess on things all the time. We do sometimes
deal in absolutes. Go give me an example.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
Go for it. Uh, the Houston.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
Texans will never win a Super Bowl as long as
counting on the Trust me. You don't want me to
say that. You don't like it when I say it,
but I feel very very confident. Let's go, baby, They're
gonna turn things around. The protection's looking good, Nico Collins
coming back, and we're going.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
To Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
Or mine. You're gonna win the MC South for about
a nine and eight record in ten and seven, you're
gonna barely beat the first round.

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
Opponent and get your askings around two.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
That's very possible as well, that's more absolutely more likely.
Let's talk to Gillan Hockeley at eleven thirty five on
seven out of gill Good morning.

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
That's going on, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Hi.

Speaker 9 (01:06:40):
So me personally, I could care less about Dallas, But
i grew up with the Boilers, and I've got a
bunch of relatives from Corpus, from Santonio, from.

Speaker 6 (01:06:50):
The Valley, and all that you will talk about is
how good the Cowboys were and how bad the orders were.
And now that we have a good team here, I
mean we did beat him open, which was great.

Speaker 14 (01:07:01):
Was absolutely perfect for our first game ever.

Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
But growing up and listening to the idiots and I'm
basuring my dog on relatives, then they want to be
Astros fans.

Speaker 14 (01:07:11):
Can you get tickets to the to.

Speaker 9 (01:07:12):
The don't know, you know, they don't have a team,
but even friends of mine, you know, I'm mixing Americans,
so a lot of them from the valley and stuff
like that, and that's it.

Speaker 14 (01:07:22):
They're always ranking on the dog on Boilers. And now
we got the Texans.

Speaker 9 (01:07:26):
So me personally, I do not want to lose for
that reason because I don't want to hear it, especially
them being that bad they win this game, Oh my.

Speaker 4 (01:07:33):
God, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
And and that's a lot of it. Thank you Gil
for the phone call for good weekend. We appreciate you listening.
A lot of it is from fans. Is they don't
want to hear it from their buddies that are Cowboy fans,
our friends. Yeah, I mean we all we all know
Cowboys fans. Skoyle, my brother in law's Cowboys fan, and
his kids, my nieces and nephews. He's turning them in
a Cowboys fans. It's disgusting. I don't want to hear

(01:07:56):
it because guess what the move and l of who
the Texans are and the consistent downfall of the Dallas Cowboys
year after year after year haspt Cowboy fans off of
Houston Sports Radio. There's a guy who called me very
young in my career. For those of you who listened
to sports radio for a long period of time, Bill
Lamsa was his named Cowboy Cowboy Bill Lamson, and he

(01:08:16):
would call every week. This is in the heyday of
the nineties when sports radio was really starting in this marketplace,
and he'd call all the shows around town. He called
me when I was young and we'd talk and I
didn't I wasn't bothered by him because callers don't bother me.
But some people were like, you get Bill Lambs off
there that kind of I mean, he was just the
ultimate cowboy honk. And there were other people. There was

(01:08:37):
Cowboy Steve and Cowboy Greg and Cowboy Hieronimo and all
that kind of stuff. And they've gone away because that's
what cowboy fans do when things are down, they go
and hide.

Speaker 3 (01:08:50):
But when they get to nine and eight and they.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
Get to a host of wildcard playoff game against the
Philadelphia Eagles or Green Bay Packers get their ass kick,
they go away again. But they're bracking beforehand. I don't
want cowboy fan infiltrating the show on Tuesday?

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
Are they going to infiltrate the show?

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
And if they if they beat the Texans, they will
for sure not gonna hear for three for four hours,
I would say three to four, four, four, ten to
two Sports Talk seven ninety. So here's the reality of it.
Texans win, you feel better, you don't feel great. It's
not good. It's not good Cowboys team, it's not well.
It's about how you look. It's about the game, it's
about how it plays out. It's about protecting your quarterback,

(01:09:28):
getting the running game going, Nico Collins getting you one
hundred yards and a touchdown. Yeah, if you squeak out
another bad loss like you have had really throughout this
season for the Texans and barely beating the Jacksonville Jaguars
and barely beating as other teams that well, they barely
beat the Bills that was good but not looking good
against the Bears, who were turning out to be a

(01:09:49):
not very good team, and barely beating the Colts with
a quarterback that got benched and then well came back
but was bench after that game. Yeah, you're not gonna
feel good blow somebody out for once. It isn't a
rookie making his first start on a horrible team. The
reality is there's only two chances left ross for I

(01:10:09):
think the fan base to really go back to what
they thought they were going to be before the start
of the season. That's either beating Baltimore or Kansas City.
You beat both, then you're really flying high. Correct You
split them. You going, you know what, I'll take it.
I think they could split. You lose both, and you're
not planning any trip to New Orleans for the Super Bowl.

(01:10:29):
You can score on that Ravens defense. The problem, of course,
is on the flip side, stopping Lamar Jackson and Derrick
Henry and z Flowers and Mark Andrews. But you mentioned
Derrick Henry, right, Yes, I did remember when America thought
Derrick Henry was done. We've tried to bury de Dereck
Henry's career five times. At least we've every year when

(01:10:52):
like you're reading about fantasy stuff and drafts is like, well,
you know, he had three hundred touches last year. Running backs,
The data shows running backs after three hundred touches always
have a down year, except Derrek Henry never does. Let's
just accept he is simply built. Different. Hall of Famer absolutely,
I agree first ballot. Probably not. I would have to
see where he is in the all time rushing yards

(01:11:13):
list and when he retires, who he was going against.
I'll tell you this, coming out of the draft, I
didn't think he was gonna This is a big miss
on my part. I didn't think Derek Henry's gonna be
good in the NFL. I didn't think he had the
lateral movement to make guys miss because heavy running backs
can have some success, but seven or eight years sustained
not likely. Yeah, I didn't think he was. He can
get north to south, but he can't get east to west.

(01:11:36):
But it doesn't even matter. He just runs people over
and he has enough subtle shiftingness. I think he's kind
of sneaky shifting is what Derek Henry. Because he's so big,
you don't just a little subtle movement is enough for
him to shake off tacklers. Apparently a good teammate too.
Never had any issues right in the NFL. I don't know,
I guess so, I mean, I don't care about that well,
but it goes with part of it. I mean, it's

(01:11:57):
gonna build a legacy. Guys that I've done problems. It
feels nothing, man, haven't you? Mike Tysan has believing the legacy.
But I think I think most of us kind of due. Yeah,
he's caused a lot of heartache for the Texans over
the years. No matter what uniform is put on, he's
over ten thousand yards rushing. How many years nine years. Okay,

(01:12:18):
so about about eleven fifty years.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
He's got a two thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
Well his uh yeah, his average, his seventeen game average
for his career is fourteen hundred yards and thirteen touchdowns.
Well are you laughing about that? That's insane? It's really good.
You know what if you told me that, what's his
yards per carry? Does any idea?

Speaker 8 (01:12:41):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
Four point eight?

Speaker 4 (01:12:43):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Career?

Speaker 3 (01:12:44):
I got a six point He's thirty years old and
he's six point yards of carry.

Speaker 2 (01:12:46):
I gotta change your mind. He might be a first balloder.
The way he's performing, the way he's really he's reinvented himself. Well,
I mean he got on a better team with a
better offensive line. I mean situation matters a ton. Yeah.
We always talk about Emmitt Smith and being the all
time yards rushing nobody has. Immitt Smith's is the best
running back of all And the crazy part is that
when the Titans released him, he got to pick and

(01:13:07):
choo where he wanted to go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
You don't have to worry about having to be shipped
off somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Yeah. The problem is, and it's not a problem because
there are so many great running backs, but when you
close your eyes and say, and I hate to go
Mount Rushmore on you, but you are. But when you
go Mount Rushmore. Running running backs, Derek Henry's name does
not come at the top of the list. But you
know what, there's so many fine running backs that are
that are in the Hall of Fame. It's maybe narrowing
it down to are you on that list is probably

(01:13:35):
two is too tough to do. He's twenty fifth on
the all time rushing yards list. If he can get
what do they have left?

Speaker 4 (01:13:42):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
Six seven? Six games?

Speaker 2 (01:13:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
Who is the five guys behind him?

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Jamal Lewis, Thomas Jones, Tiki Barber, Eddie George and Marshawn Lynch.
Are you those five again? Jamal Lewis better than Thomas Jones,
way better, better than Tiki Barber, way better than Eddie George,
better than Marshawn Lynch, better than the five guys ahead

(01:14:10):
of him, Corey Dyllon better, O J. Simpson, not better
than OJ Simpson, not better O. J. Simpson, Lashawn McCoy better,
Warwick done better, Ricky Waters better.

Speaker 3 (01:14:23):
I mean, if he just gets how high can he
ultimately go?

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
Do you think.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Can he get two thousand more? Yards uh or Christmas career. Yes,
I say yes, he'll be eleventh and past Jim Brown.
Yeah he's going. He's first bout Hall of Fame. Just
you don't think about it that way, but he is
two thousand more yards. He'll be eleventh, behind Tony Dorsett. Yeah, yeah,
that's first bout, ahead of Marshall, Fulk, Edrin James, Marcus Dillan,

(01:14:50):
Franco Harris. Because because the reality is he's he's he's
he's playing during a time Ross where you have split
backs and you have passing becoming a much bigger part
of the game. Shout out Stephen Jackson eighteenth on this list,
ahead of John Riggins, just behind Fred Taylor, Ben Taylor
too not a Hall of Famer, Stephen Jackson underrated, and

(01:15:11):
Fredhwer in the Hall of Fame. I don't believe so.
I think he's been like a finalistay, but I don't
think he's made it. Eleven forty three Sports Talk seven

Let's go ahead and check it out.

Speaker 2 (01:16:55):
Jacob north Side, eleven fifty one on the seven ninty Jacob,
good morning.

Speaker 8 (01:16:59):
Yes, Set, hey man, Derrick Henry the first first Battle
of Hall of Famer kluts. He's gonna crack the top
ten and lead about the top five once. Once he
has done, he still got about three or four years.
He over ten thousand. He's not gonna catch him in
the eighteen, but he's gonna catch like twelve.

Speaker 4 (01:17:18):
He's gonna catch Doors Set and all the rest of
them guys. He's gonna get. He had twelve, I mean
had ten to six.

Speaker 8 (01:17:23):
He's gonna get He can get at least over the
next four years another full fifty, so that put around
fifteen thousand. He at least get fifteen first if he
get fifteen thousand automatically in.

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
Is Isn't it crazy though, that every single time Jacob
somebody wants to bury his career, he comes back and
is bigger and better than ever.

Speaker 3 (01:17:42):
He's awesome, really am Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:17:44):
I don't understand it because maybe the team he had
he was stuck in Tennessee on a bad team.

Speaker 4 (01:17:51):
Now they're finna go for championships.

Speaker 8 (01:17:54):
I believe they're gonna They're gonna dethrow on the Chiefs
and the Texas mandate.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
It's a process. They only way, man, but it's hard, bro.

Speaker 8 (01:18:01):
The got they got the Chiefs and they got a
second year coach and a second year quarterback.

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
But they got the Chiefs. In the Ravens.

Speaker 8 (01:18:09):
It took a little time for Andy Reeves to get
we at the Miko was only in the second year.
I think people got to, you know, realize that they
Texas since how many was they been.

Speaker 4 (01:18:19):
They've been in existence for a while.

Speaker 8 (01:18:20):
They ain't been in this zero so so because the
one year they had, you know, he did a great
year for his first year. Ten and seven is good, man,
a second year coach and when your division back to back,
I'm sorry, Chiefs. He got to get through the Chiefs
and the Ravens and it's gonna be a tough in Pittsburgh,
tough test, all right.

Speaker 3 (01:18:36):
Man, Thanks for the phone called Jacob. At some point,
Ross and you're battle read.

Speaker 2 (01:18:44):
You want to have to stop having these conversations about, well,
this team is really good, but they need to get
past this. This this what's it going to take for
the Texans And we don't have to answer for this
today in the middle of a regular season. But what's
ultimately going to take for this team to say, you
know what this team is going is honest to get
past the Ravens, get past the Chiefs. And I don't

(01:19:04):
And I don't think a trade deadline deal would have
done it, but at least it would have given the
signs to say we're ready to go all in. Nick Asseria,
with his word salaid about just moving around draft picks
and expiring contracts, did not bude confidence that he thinks
his team is on the cusp of something great.

Speaker 3 (01:19:23):
I don't think they're far off.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
I think when your offensive line has been a mess
for two years or far off, you lose on a
last second field, go to the Lions, and your your
way off the Super Bowl contention. I don't think so.
I think being being embarrassed by the Jets on Thursday
night is far off.

Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
Well, beating Buffalo Bills it's pretty good. Yeah, but the
Bills also came back an early minute and minute a
ball game. Ye, but they lost, and you almost came back.
And the Lions they close, and I've told you all
this and it ain't changing. They ain't close. They and
nickos there on a chance to change it. And get
it closer, and they didn't get closer. It depends on
what you want to how you want to defind it.
You're right if because it's just the nature of the NFL,

(01:20:03):
you'll need to be good for two weeks. You can.

Speaker 3 (01:20:05):
Kansas City can be bad at some point. Baltimore can.
Baltimore thought they were there last year. To your point,
we had the AMC Championship game in our building.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
We're there now.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
That was close. Only one team wins the AFC every year.

Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
Everybody else is everybody else is a failure and everybody
else is tyed terrible and everybody else is the worst.
Now they've got definitely got manhandled by Baltimore. But as
I said, the line, we all thought the lines were
gonna come here and just absolutely destroy the Texans. And
it's very clear, and a game where they didn't have
Will Anderson, they didn't have Nico Collins, They're gonna not
have Stefan Diggs for the rest of the season. That

(01:20:39):
it took a fifty eight yarder from Jake Bates and
a fifty two yarder both barely inside one of the uprights,
and that's how they lost that game.

Speaker 3 (01:20:47):
And your guy missed his.

Speaker 2 (01:20:48):
Fifty eight yarder, but people aren't thinking of it that
way that people are thinking of You had a chance
to take your foot and put it on their throats,
and you didn't do it. Everything's the worst and this
is trash. And where they were like they lost on
a last second field go to the Lions and game
we all thought they were gonna lose. So I don't
think they're that far off. I think they're there are
some better offensive I think the things that need to

(01:21:08):
happen are the offensive line needs to play better. Of course,
you get Nico Collins back, that is going to be
a huge help. You need to get Will Anderson back.
He needs to be healthy if you're gonna make any
sort of run. And I think something all those things
can happen, something that I'm not sure is going to happen,
and you can win with but it's gonna hold you back.
And that to me is the conservative nature of the

(01:21:31):
way Demico Ryans can coach not to lose.

Speaker 3 (01:21:35):
And how is that going to change?

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
The words not mine, That's what I just I just said.
I don't think that's gonna change. Yeah, And that's the
reason why I don't think things are going to change
because unless and less Dimiko gets talking to And that's
a strange word, but somebody has to put a bug
in his ear to say, hey, you got to loosen
things up a little bit. You can win a super
Bowl with a conservative coach, but it's just going to
hold you back. And also, I mean people think about this,

(01:21:59):
Andy Rea. No one ever thinks he's conservad about anything. No,
he's not Dan Campbell. But there were people crushing Dan
Campbell in the playoffs last year when he was going
for fourth downs and then they can get him, so either.
But I liked I would take dank. If if you
could put Dan Campbell's aggressive nature into everything that this

(01:22:19):
Texans team does, I think would be a lot better.

Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
I think they would be a lot better.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
I would feel a lot better about them winning because
because the NFL is all about taking that one percent
advantage and turning it into a two percent advantage, because
that's how close the margin is, as we just saw
this weekend against the Lions. Chris want to talk about
the Rockets, Hang time, my man, we will get too.
Matter of fact, let's get you in real quick before
because you're the news at noon, coming up here, Chris,
I'm a squeeze you before the top of the hour
high Chris, Hey, what's going on? Fella's hike?

Speaker 21 (01:22:44):
Hey really quickly, man, I want to make a public
service announcement to the fans as of going out to
the game tonight.

Speaker 15 (01:22:50):
Man, please show up on time, Please get there and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:54):
You know, make your presidence built.

Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
Man.

Speaker 21 (01:22:55):
But this is a this is the tournament game, you know.
I you know, saying the things started last year. I
think it is a good promotional thing for you know,
NBA all together. But hey, man, I want to.

Speaker 15 (01:23:07):
Ask you to answer the question when you come back
on the other side.

Speaker 2 (01:23:10):
All right, do you believe that we have the worst fans?

Speaker 4 (01:23:13):
And it all right?

Speaker 21 (01:23:19):
Be honest, you know, because really, man, I mean the
fans stuck and I'm like a lot of the games
and they suck.

Speaker 6 (01:23:25):
Man.

Speaker 15 (01:23:25):
They are like they're scared to get.

Speaker 21 (01:23:26):
Up and clap and be and participate in the game
until this towards the end and it's really tight. Then
they finallys feel like they can say something.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
But man, man, get to the game on time, make your.

Speaker 12 (01:23:38):
Presence felt, man. Just a young, exciting team.

Speaker 21 (01:23:41):
We got better chance in getting falled down line and
being these Texans. I don't think the Texans going anywhere,
uh not next year, this year, in five years from now,
they still not doing anything with wood Rockets.

Speaker 15 (01:23:52):
I believe they got a chance to actually make them knowing.

Speaker 2 (01:23:54):
All right, Allan with you, Thank you, Chrystal, call good
to your voice. I will give you we got the
news at noon, and I will give you the honest
assessment in Ross. You're gonna probably agree with me. It's
not just Rocket fans, it's sports fans in general in
this town. I want I want to say the worst
lot is the Rockets, though I will speak in a
macro micro thought about the fan bases. When we come back,

(01:24:16):
we wake the shippers up. In two minutes on Sports
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
Lunchtimers, this is the Matt Thomas Show, twelve mo.

most mass mother mums win most win game.

Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
Yeah, that's we should do that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:03):
Yeah it's not good. That wasn't good at all. I've
been clipped it underneath circus.

Speaker 6 (01:25:09):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:25:10):
Revenge is best served warm. I thought it was revenge
is a dish best served cold. No, in my case, warm, non,
probably much warmer. What the hell is going on with
the Texans? That was garbage? Jesus Christ? Well, I like
when you close your eyes Corey, All right, now, how
long you been a traveling Texan? It's a wild group.

Speaker 5 (01:25:29):
And here's the reason why I call it, because your
mom's in the group too, and would believe me, we
all hook up.

Speaker 2 (01:25:37):
Jam dude, you're a dumb ass. Seriously, I knew that
was a setup. I believe the nuts will be getting
cracked this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:25:46):
People dress up the concerts.

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
They don't wear garter, though not most of them, but
ones who are attention seeking whores do. Mm that felt personal. Okay, wait,
that came out right. I said, clear everybody. Everybody knows
what you said. Let me tell you something. I like

(01:26:09):
regular Joe's and I like attention seeking horrors on the show.
I'll take y'all. Attention horse is what I meant, take
out the seeking. Yeah, you said she was a whore,
and Taylor is gonna find you, hunt you down like
a rabbit dog.

Speaker 3 (01:26:24):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:26:26):
She moves around a lot. She's been in Middle America,
then she's been traveling to Ruba, and then she's in Mexico,
and then she's going to a concert in Phoenix. I
mean the girl moves. Sugar Daddy, gotta be right. You
in you in the situation Matt making donations.

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
She does not have an OnlyFans account. I didn't bring
that up.

Speaker 4 (01:26:49):
You did.

Speaker 2 (01:26:50):
Oh people are asking me if people are asking if
they want me to share their only fans like, I'm not.
I don't want your only fans account. Oh thank you,
I think, Oh, you're already sub I don't look. I
don't look at that debauchery. Yeah, all right. Twelve five.
It is a Friday edition of The Matt Thomas Show
with Ross. He's Ross, I'm Matt. We are with you
till two o'clock this afternoon. Seven one three, two one

(01:27:10):
two five, seven ninety. So our man called in a
minute ago and said the Rocket fans suck at games.
A micro and macro view of that. After the news
at noon and with all the headlines here on anything
goes Friday Sports Talk seven ninety it's ross Ville. Yea,
all right, matthe Old Texans continue their preparations for the

(01:27:33):
Dallas Cowboys on Monday. Uh hearing from sources well, this
source being Aaron Wilson, friend of the station here at
Sports Talk seven, Honey, Kamari Lassiter not practicing for the Texans.
Will Anderson also not spotted at practice, but at the
open portion. Derek Stingley is there, so some good news

(01:27:55):
there and Nico Collins. Will he be limited again to today?
We shall find out with the practice report, because it'd
be very nice to have him back on Monday for
the Texans. One more chance would be tomorrow, but tomorrow's
practice will be significantly lighter than today. Today's the last
full let's get go and beat some people up kind
of practice. Yes, and Dmiico Ryans also did speak to

(01:28:18):
the media yesterday and well, one of the things we
were bringing up in the last segment about the conservative
nature of the way that the Texans are coach Joe
Mixon himself saying this week playing not to lose far
too often. Here's what Demiko had to say about head
coaches getting criticized in the NFL when it comes to.

Speaker 22 (01:28:37):
The outside doors on decision making and play calling. All
those things. That's that's the NFL, all right, that's we'll
always get that. I don't I don't listen to it.
I don't have time to spend on everybody's opinion on
how we're running our team and what we're calling and
what we're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
Right, As an NFL coach, you.

Speaker 22 (01:28:58):
Make decisions, You stick by the decisions that you make,
and everybody, of course, being in the NFL, being an
NFL head coach probably one of the only jobs where
everybody critiques you on Monday, right, that's the only job
and besides the NFL head coach and the president, you
probably get critiqued on every decision that you make because

(01:29:19):
everybody else has all the answers right after the fact,
but nobody has the answers in the heat of the battle,
in the heat of the moment. We can all hit
rewind as many times, we can slow it down as
much as you want to. But that's why I'm here
to make the decisions, and that's how it'll be.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
And shut your ball mass up, oh all you YouTube
texting podcast host. I think, especially when it comes to
offensive coordinating play calling, when you call a rundown, the
medal for Joe Mixon and it goes for negative one yards.

Speaker 4 (01:29:51):
What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
Why are we running on first down when it goes
for eight yards? Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:29:55):
Great job, Joe Mixon.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
So I think to that extent he's right, but I'm
going to disagree on the fourth down and the playing
for the field goal stuff. We're we've been saying that
stuff in the moment as it's happening, and we're seeing
it on repeat. It's happening almost every single week. Rary
conservative play calling because again, I think there's too much reluctance,
not reluctance, reliance on chiming fairbar. Yeah, and the fact, well,

(01:30:21):
if we get within sixty he can get us there.
But no, it was a fifty eight.

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
Yarder and he missed it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
And by the way, and I hear this from a
coach is a lot ross And this is actually a
bigger issue. Okay, when you take a head coaching job,
second guessing comes to it, the critique of the job, absolutely,
and we'll.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
Talk more about that.

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
But if he's gonna think that critiquing is going to
stop immediately, especially Monday morning cornerbacking critiquing, then he probably
should get out of the coaching business, because it's never
going to change. You want fans involved, you want fans vested.
They're going to have opinions. Sometimes opinions will be valid,
sometimes they will not.

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
Be valid, but they're always going to be there.

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
And if coaches get upset or discouraged by the fact
that people second guess them as soon as the games
are with, then again I'd find something else to do.

Speaker 4 (01:31:07):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
Ell So on the news at noon, the Rockets in
action tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Speaker 3 (01:31:13):
Matt they've won five or six. They're looking pretty good
fishing the West.

Speaker 2 (01:31:17):
Baby, they didn't look speaking of teams being clos or not,
they didn't look close to the Oklahoma City Thunder quite
frankly in that game on Friday night. But yeah, they
have four losses this year Cleveland or Charlotte and opening
night bad at San Antonio, bad at home for Golden State.
Understandable they were down thirty one. The state's been playing
great bats, they're really really good. And then the game

(01:31:37):
of Oklahoma City where they were competitive for the first quarter,
and then you know, well, not in their league, but
also the expectation level I would say higher for the
Texans relative to the Rockets. But tonight, Matt, the NBA
Cup group a play in Western Conference? How much percent?
If if your interest level on Wednesday was let's just
put it out of five just to make it a baseline,

(01:31:57):
fil how much does it go up with the NBA
Cup on the line.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
Man, I take myself off the off the five list.

Speaker 2 (01:32:03):
Yes, if my interest was calling the game on Wednesday
was a ten, which always is because I love calling games.
It's not a ten. It's Game seven of the NBA
Finals is a ten. Mad, Okay, Wednesday gets the clips. Okay,
I would say it tonight. Okay, I'm gonna go if
I'm at a five, I'm at a five and a half,
so even less than me. Yes, And for me, it's
not about the new uniforms are wearing tonight. It's not

(01:32:25):
about the new not the floor. It's just about there's
a chance for a little something, some like like you
have in your place of business. You have goals to reach,
you have a budget, yeah, and if you reach an
end of the year goal, you're going to get a bonus. Yeah,
here's a one hundred dollars gift card to mess my Well.

Speaker 3 (01:32:43):
We don't give those anymore.

Speaker 8 (01:32:44):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:32:45):
But if your boss all of a sudden send you
an email and says, hey, in the next thirty days,
if you capture five news deals, we're gonna give you
little extra bonus. It's it's it's the boss sending you
the email saying, hey, step up a little bit the
next month and we'll give you a little extra, little present.
It's a little extra pepperoni in your s life, the pizza.
I see where you're going, matt Or it's like a
free brownie.

Speaker 4 (01:33:03):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (01:33:05):
And in my case, the rockets one.

Speaker 2 (01:33:07):
When these playing these tournament games, Dad ain't getna free
trip to.

Speaker 3 (01:33:09):
Vegas out of it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:10):
Are they gonna give you a share that five hundred
cage player gets for winning. They don't even know my name.
How they give me a share when they when they
go divvy out the money. You know what you need
to do? What you just need to right, wear a
shirt every time you go to the arena. It just
says Venmo at Sports MT and then maybe they'll cut
your chunk down on the plane. That's a good idea.
That's actually a better chance. I'll see them as close

(01:33:30):
as I possibly can.

Speaker 3 (01:33:31):
For the Blu Ray games.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
It's not a bad idea.

Speaker 4 (01:33:35):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
They always end practices with funny things like email will
say one two three chocolate chip and they'll do yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (01:33:42):
I told me, will you with me.

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
When these I said that to him? I said one
two three Matt one one two three sports MT and rhymes.
I guess, actually I'm bad.

Speaker 3 (01:33:52):
Continue on the news at noon?

Speaker 2 (01:33:53):
What else is going on in the news?

Speaker 6 (01:33:55):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:33:55):
Well, tonight on Netflix, it's a Mike Tyson fight. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:33:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
Can you believe I am saying this sentence if I'd
have told you this twenty years ago. Tonight on Netflix,
which at the time probably you were getting DVDs through
the mail. Tonight on Netflix, Mike Tyson fights YouTube sensation
Jake Paul what fifty eight years old? Matt Thomas. Going
back to the interest level one through ten scale, your
interest level is.

Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
Six, maybe seven.

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
I'm gonna say I was like at a seven, maybe
even an eight. But then when I saw Mike Tyson
not moving well in the workouts when he got hospitalized, like,
my interest level is kind of going down. I'll keep
an eye on it, but I'm gonna be more locked
in on what the Rockets are doing against the Clippers tonight,
I'll say this level of I think this is going
to be fixed eight and a half nine. And that's

(01:34:47):
why I would never bet on it. It's sanctioned. The
only reason I say that it's not going to be
fixed like that is because it is sanctioned by the
Texas Athletic Commissions. Once you're telling the Athletic Commissions are
on the up and up, okay, as long as you're
telling me that's.

Speaker 3 (01:34:58):
Okay, I'm not gonna say that. Is Lawrence Cole going
to be the referee?

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
He always works Texas fights and he's terrible because Daddy
is the commissioner of the Athletic Commission. But anyways, who's
the ring announcers? Well, let's get you there, man, I can't.
I got a Rockets skin. It's probably gonna be Michael Buffer.
He's losing it. Old is Michael Buffer. I mean his
seventies now right. He's throwing like Zach grinky fastballs right now.
It's not good.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
It's a little sad to see.

Speaker 2 (01:35:23):
But Matt, a new ring announcer must emerge out of
the ashes of Michael Buffer. Here comes Matt Thomas. Let's go.
I love it. I absolutely love it and can I
give you a non the News at noon sports item. Okay,

the news at noon. Thank you, Matt all right. Macro

(01:37:20):
micro view on a previous caller asking about the Rockets, Okay,
fans not the Rockets of the team, by the way,
have won eight of their first twelve games. Playoff started
the day they'd be the five seed in the West.
I'm all for it. Seven one three two one two
five seven ninety. That, my friends, was the news at noon.
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety. It
isn't anything goes Friday, which means you can call us

(01:37:41):
about anything you humanly would like to at seven one
three two, one two five seven ninety seven one three two,
one two five seven ninety more.

Speaker 10 (01:37:50):
Matt Thomas now on Sports Talk seven ninety all right.

Speaker 2 (01:37:56):
Uh, at one fifty, we're gonna play Kelly Aeronnott. We've
got one pair of TI gets to give away for
Justin Timberlake. And you have to require if you get
a password to get into play Helly or not. Doesn't
mean you win the tickets, but you have to the
password just to play. And the password ross is coming
up at one fifty today. Is Jessica, after the name

(01:38:16):
of Justin's wife. Is what we went with, Not Rabbit,
just Jessica. Yes, Jessica Beale is also an acceptable answer.

Speaker 6 (01:38:24):
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (01:38:25):
Jessica is the password you must use if you want
to play Helly. You're not today at one fifty this afternoon.
I believe bit that it's a jam. That's a good
I mean, I'm not gonna download any of his songs.
That's fine, I'm not asking you to. By the way,
John Alexander Houston Kroco says that Nico Collins.

Speaker 3 (01:38:44):
Looks good today.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
Spry run around. Yes, it's gonna be a nice benefit
to have him back in uniform for the Texans Monday
night in a desperately needed victory. Well, a top ten
receiver in football coming back is big. It's big, really big,
all right to our collar crow. I said, we'll get
the Tim and Katie. Just second Chris called in and
he said, look, going the Rockey games suck because the

(01:39:06):
crowd isn't there. The crowd is two facets right now.
It's largely corporate in lors Bow, and it is. I
think there's also a fair number of people that are
just not super die hard basketball fans in the building.
I think if the three major sports teams in our town,

(01:39:32):
more casual fans will check out a Rockets game.

Speaker 3 (01:39:37):
Than they will to give it three and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
Hours to watch a football game or give three hours
to watch a baseball game. And you're saying, well, Matt,
how do you come up with that? I have no
clinical formula, but I will say when I walk out
of the arena pretty quickly, right out of the games,
I'll do the postgame interview if we win, run through
a few stats, and then Adam or the other Adams
will handle the post game stuff. There are more women,
and I'm using this as women, not men. But there

(01:40:00):
are more women that are dressed out to go to
a bar, to a club. They don't dress like they're
dressed to go to a sporting event. And I'm trying
to walk a little bit of a fine line here.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
If you can't tell already, does.

Speaker 2 (01:40:19):
That make sense to you?

Speaker 3 (01:40:21):
I mean, I guess, But how what percentage?

Speaker 13 (01:40:25):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (01:40:26):
I know you were talking one hundred people, or do
you see I would say this next time that you're
at a Rockets game with me. Yes, I mean I've
seen come walk out with me at the time that
I walk out. Now, you're usually working postgames, this one
will not be applicable for you.

Speaker 3 (01:40:38):
Oh that's okay.

Speaker 2 (01:40:39):
Usually uh Adam or Adam is rambling on in their
post game for about a good twenty plus minutes, so
I've got time. I can't put a percentage on it,
but I can tell you I significantly notice every single
time the women that go to the games, you don't
dress the way that they dress to just go to

(01:41:00):
a Rockets basketball.

Speaker 3 (01:41:04):
I I don't think it's as many.

Speaker 2 (01:41:07):
I think it's more in your I think it's more
in your warped mind than it is, Like I don't
think it's like how the people just diving or something. No,
I'm not saying that, but I'm not say enough they
would make the crowd not good. Uh, I think no.
I think it's a crowd that wants to go get
a beer really quick. I think it's a crowd that
wants to hang out in the middle and the clubs

(01:41:28):
in the lower level club and the upper level club more.
I don't think, and I'm and I shouldn't, but I
can only go off this. I don't think the women
that go to Astros baseball games dressed like that, like
they're gonna go watch a baseball game and they're gonna
go out dancing.

Speaker 3 (01:41:43):
There's a lot No, they don't dress like they're going
out dancing.

Speaker 2 (01:41:46):
But there's a lot of women or people in general,
whether it doesn't have to be women, there are people
who just go to the games just to take a
bunch of pictures and put it on ig and talking
about being on the game. So they're gonna get them
a lot of lights. So that's that's going to answer
my question for me. And there's a larger section of
that than the other two sports teams in this town.
So when it's when it's a minute forty seven left

(01:42:07):
to go and it's a Rockets game with any kings
and it's a two point game, the crowd takes longer
to generate the oh my gosh, this is a big
moment coming up as compared to an Astros.

Speaker 3 (01:42:22):
Game three to two, top of the ninth, one out.

Speaker 2 (01:42:26):
Oh they're doing the wave. No, but at least no,
not in the way of the ninth. But they're doing
the way the people. Yeah, people know people. It's been
close to the game in the eighth and that way
absolutely happen in an Astro's game. Okay, but that don't
go to Texas. That's stupid, George people doing that. So
I don't go to Texans games, so I can't say
to that. I think a lot of it is the
corporate people in the lower Bowl. I think it is.

(01:42:49):
Even even when when the Rockets met were like in
the Western Conference finals, the lower Bowl was half full
for the first quarter. Yeah, it's just I don't know
for whatever reason it is. If it is just the
corporate thing, the fact that there are so many fortune
five hundred companies downtown that have four season tickets, or
however many seats.

Speaker 3 (01:43:08):
The crowd downstairs is not low, is not corporate.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
The corporates may own those seats, but it's not the corporate,
it's not the I don't see guys in a lot
of people wearing suits at ball at basketball. Yeah, but
it's like finance bros who get off of work at five,
They go to the Happy Era and they hang out
until sit They look at their watch, Oh it's seven,
I guess we should start heading to the game. They
close out their tab and then they're finally at the
game at like seven forty five. I think that I've

(01:43:32):
seen that happen with my own eyes. But people who
are like in finance that work down well, I just
I think it's a mix of ig picture taking crowd
and corporation. And I would say the true jersey wearing
cap wearing cheering on for that first slam dunk group

(01:43:53):
is found large than the upper deck. And I don't
know if those how many of those people there are.
But we only notice really what's happening downstairs more than
we ever do up. We just do but the effort.
But the lower lower level seats are always sold. That's
a crazy thing. People say, Well, it was at the
NB seats now they're all sold somebody. Every seat downstairs
is essentially sold, essentially, not every single one, but every game.

(01:44:15):
But I saw a sellout in that first game and
it wasn't not full. So could could Could Rocket games
be better in terms of attendance, in terms of people
giving a buzz? Absolutely? And the Rockets fight this all
the time. They're trying. You try to offer things beforehand,
you try to offer things in game, you try to
make it, you offer postgame parties. They're trying to keep

(01:44:35):
people energized for two and a half three hours, and
the mix right now just doesn't have that. The biggest
help is going to be winning. Yeah, winning games, winning
for years. He asked me about comparing to other cities.
This is me being God's honest, true. Most cities are
like the Rockets. There are very few cities and I'll

(01:44:56):
go to the old places. Boston, Philadelphia, New York seems like, okay,
see he's pretty good. Toronto. In the single set, I mean,
I would put the Rockets in terms of fan base,
in terms of being energized and fully vested in the games,
probably the middle of the pack. Go to a game
in Dallas, exact same thing. Go to a game in Atlanta,
exact same thing. Usually the multi city, large metropolitan towns,

(01:45:20):
with the exception of the old school East Coast places
and the cities that have just one pro sports team
are all about the same. The vibe in Houston is
exactly the same five that you would get in same Minnesota.

Speaker 3 (01:45:32):
Not good, could be better, not good? It needs to
be better.

Speaker 2 (01:45:37):
Okay, how about that? Twelve thirty Sports Talks EVERYONNNY. We'll
talk to Tim in a matter of moments seven to
three two one two five seven eighty Ross, where's your
non Florida story from this week? We're doing that this year,

We've done it for many many years. Twelve thirty on
seven ninety on the phone, as we go on, anything

seven ninety Non Florida stories coming up in a one
hour from now, We've got to hell garon not for
a pair of JT tickets to give away among the
nice gifts that we have in about an hour, in
fifteen minutes, seven to one three, two, one two five
seven ninety Tim Is and Katie and the Matt Thomas Show.
Tim with Ross. Tim, thanks for waiting, Good afternoon, Thanks guys.

Speaker 5 (01:46:23):
I just want to put in a good word for
the NBA Cup tonight. We're going to be in our
seats in the upper part of the Lower Bowl, me
and my son, and we're going to be rooting it on.
We picked this game because it is an NBA Cup game.
I'm just a little worried that it's hard to beat
any NBA team back to back like this, and the
Clippers are a decent team. So give me some reasons

(01:46:43):
why we should win tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:46:45):
Thanks, guys. Well, I'm gonna give you a couple of reasons.
First and foremost, the team is not shot wall this year,
and it hasn't mattered there. Do you're saying thirty seven
and a half percent from three on the on the
game on Wednesday, Rockets are UH twenty six at a
thirty NBA teams at forty four percent. They're twenty eighth
out of the league at thirty two percent from three, wow,

(01:47:06):
and those numbers have given them an eight and four
start normally. Do you shoot those type of numbers. You
are under five hundred. Why you're gonna out rebound anybody else?
The number one the league in rebounding, You don't turn
the ball over. You defend very well. Rockets defense giving
up the third fewest points in the NBA. I've just
given you one stat after the other. Wow, thank you.
Matt and Taris and Aman Thompson are playing their best

(01:47:30):
basketball their very brief NBA career. We call them the
Terror Twins. The Terror Twins is what's been circulating around
the league. I can I'm all for that.

Speaker 4 (01:47:39):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (01:47:40):
Yeah, and of the category of their due Jabori Fred
jalen As I talked with coach of Dooka about a
couple nights ago. Wouldn't this be fun if one night
the Rockets just shoot, you know, fourteen to thirty one
from three hmm, Yeah, there'd be more than that.

Speaker 3 (01:48:00):
Let's let's do twenty to forty two. Okay, you get
my drift. Let's also a fifty percent.

Speaker 2 (01:48:06):
But they're winning because they hustle, they rebound, they steal
the basketball, they force a lot of turnovers, they win
the second chance game. They do as the kids would say,
ross the intangibles. Yes, all the little things, and that's
what Coachi Joka is here for, discipline and attention to detail.
Rockets best start eight and four since they went nine

(01:48:27):
to three in the twenty nineteen twenty season. Back in
the good old days, by which you think a James
Hardy on a night by the way, did you think
you have a thought on him? No, He's a foul
hunting and a good ball distributor and made a few
steps back three. Well, he dropped his body about four
or five times, and of course the game and he
got one call to the group.

Speaker 4 (01:48:45):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (01:48:45):
That's good. NBA is catching on to it. Well now
that he's thirty six years old or whatever it's been around.
He's in his sixteenth NBA season. How old is he really? Thirty?

Speaker 3 (01:48:54):
Thirty five?

Speaker 8 (01:48:55):
Thirty?

Speaker 6 (01:48:55):
He is?

Speaker 2 (01:48:57):
Thirty five? Okay, still good, Still figures a way to
get the free throw line. Hall of famer, Still a
great finish shir at the basket. Yeah, he's I mean,
he could play about as long as he wants. His
game was never predicated on a lead athleticism. Yeah, shooting
three point percentage down even this year thirty only thirty

(01:49:19):
six percent of the floor. He to me, the biggest
difference in his game now is that he is strictly
there for volume shooting, as compared to Knights, where he
can go ten for fourteen, get to the free throw
line eleven twelve times. He is strictly for volume. Now
he's distributing the ball as well. Just shy a nine
uses per game. It's pretty good. The biggest difference for

(01:49:40):
the Clips. And if you're doing much Clipper talk here,
Norman Palell has become a legitimate number two score. And
by the way, when I bring up Kawhi Leonard to
LA folks, they're like, who's that? Never heard of them?
They go literally go mmmm, hey'sct imagine a flexibility the
Clippers could have to make trades and sign free agency.
They didn't have the albatross that is Kawhi Leonard's contract around.

Speaker 3 (01:50:00):
It to re sign him.

Speaker 2 (01:50:01):
Yeah, that's crazy. He's got like degenerative leg issues. Yeah,
this was always going to be a problem.

Speaker 4 (01:50:07):
Yeah it was.

Speaker 2 (01:50:09):
Has he done anything memorable for the Clippers ever? I'm
sure he has, but I don't. Nothing comes to mine
right away. I remember his great days since Antonio. I
remember helping them when the Toronto Raptors winning a championship.
But I can't think of memorable Clipper Kawi Lenner moments.

Speaker 3 (01:50:24):
I can't think of one.

Speaker 2 (01:50:26):
No, let's go to.

Speaker 3 (01:50:28):
James in League City at twelve thirty eight on seven
ninety high.

Speaker 23 (01:50:30):
James, Hey, Matt for a long time caller, first time,
excuse me the other way around, first time caller, a
long time listeners, thanks, hey, listen. Just about the Rockets.
We went to a New Year's Eve game versus the
Knicks a couple years back. I think it was twenty
two going into twenty three. We were lower ball, sitting
directly across from the Knicks bench. It was a blowout,

(01:50:53):
Knicks were winning. It got very quiet in the stadium.
I yelled out to Tom Thibodeau when it was no
music going on. I said, Tom, put in Archidiagano, and
he looked over to Archiagano gave him a little head roll.
Archiagano came in the game within the next thirty seconds.
It was a phenomenal moment. I just wanted to pass
that along.

Speaker 2 (01:51:13):
First of all, congratulations that you were able to convince
uh Tom Timoda'll do anything because he's a cranky man.
That's right.

Speaker 23 (01:51:19):
We did the same thing recently at the Memphis Grizzlies game.

Speaker 15 (01:51:22):
We told uh I forget his name. I yelled out
his name. I said, put in a Kokuccie or no,
not Koochie.

Speaker 3 (01:51:28):
Why do want you to say Akucci playing for the
Memphis Grizzlies.

Speaker 23 (01:51:30):
Oh no, I don't you say no the uh Yuki?
I said, put in Yuki to uh uh Man, forget
the coach's name for the Grizzlies.

Speaker 3 (01:51:38):
And sure enough about to Taylor Jenkins. Taylor Jenkins, you're speaking.

Speaker 23 (01:51:41):
Of, right, Taylor Jenkins, I said, Hey, Taylor, put in Yuki,
and Yuki came in.

Speaker 15 (01:51:45):
I just wanted to pass that along. Man, great show,
thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
Thank you. James. Look at James like I could be
the PA announcer for the Rockets. I can, I can,
I can draw a crowd. Hmmm, he's running rotations for him.
Have you ever have you ever screamed anything in your
life to any athlete or coach and they heard you?

Speaker 4 (01:52:02):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:52:06):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
When I was slinging jalapenos at the Astrodome back in
the day, Yeah, I called Don OSSI aa s E.
I call him Don something else. Oh, I'm sure he's
never heard that. Well, he's not gonna hear anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:52:19):
He's dead.

Speaker 2 (01:52:20):
But that's a different issue for a different time.

Speaker 3 (01:52:21):
May he rest.

Speaker 2 (01:52:22):
Yeah, it's been a while he's but today's believe it
or not? Actually don OSSI? Yeah, I don't believe that
for a second. I believe that it's not taking it
as a not. I've yelled at Vin Scully one time.
I would think I was in junior high. I said, Vin,
I don't say ven. I said, mister Scully, do you
have time for lunch? I wanted to take him to lunch?

Speaker 6 (01:52:44):
You what?

Speaker 2 (01:52:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:52:46):
He said, I'm busy, but thank you for the offer.

Speaker 2 (01:52:47):
Are you serious? That is adorable? I thought it was
kind of cute. Let me tell you something. A fourteen
year old wants to take you to lunch. Why wouldn't
you take him up on it? It sounds weird, No,
it doesn't sound Where was I looking.

Speaker 3 (01:53:01):
To get out?

Speaker 2 (01:53:01):
Except that meaning one of my broadcasting idols?

Speaker 3 (01:53:05):
That's great trying?

Speaker 2 (01:53:08):
What else? Have I screamed?

Speaker 3 (01:53:09):
How did you think that was gonna go?

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
I didn't know it was fourteen at immaturity like I
do now.

Speaker 8 (01:53:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:53:15):
Last thing I've ever done. Is I've screamed at a
professional wrestler but not calling him by his name, but
by calling him by his legal name.

Speaker 3 (01:53:22):
Okay, would that be be Terry Bullia?

Speaker 4 (01:53:26):
Well, like.

Speaker 2 (01:53:28):
Like One Man Gang, his real name is George. Okay,
I said, man, George, you're killing it, You're killing it,
and he did, yeah, because he didn't One Man Gang
didn't hear George back, and he was going he was
One Man Gang. How do you know his real name?
Because I did.

Speaker 4 (01:53:39):
I was.

Catter back to the Matt Thomas Show Thomas Show on
Sports Talk seven ninety for the corner at that home
of your astros.

Speaker 2 (01:57:10):
One quick little nugget about the Rockets game the night
Clippers actually in the tournament game.

Speaker 3 (01:57:15):
You know, the all time three point shooter is an
NBA history right.

Speaker 2 (01:57:20):
Uh for makes Yeah, Steph Curry, that's correct, sound a
little salid more confidence next time. That's Stephen Curry Wardelle,
Stephen Curry Junior, who is second, you know? Or the
second I think is a second on junior? Second is
Ray Allen who was third. While I saw that I

(01:57:41):
saw that James Harden.

Speaker 3 (01:57:42):
James Harden.

Speaker 2 (01:57:42):
Yeah, I wouldn't brought up a lots. I was going
to tie it into something locally. He is three away
from tying Ray Allen for second on the all time
leader board. I'm sure he's way behind in percentage. James
Harden has two thousand, nine hundred and seventy three three pointers.
Oh my god, do you know who's fourth?

Speaker 20 (01:58:04):
What?

Speaker 3 (01:58:04):
I'd be stunned by this current NBA player and really
not that old.

Speaker 2 (01:58:12):
Oh geez, fourth. This is fourth all time in threes
three point makes I'm a little surprised. Not Klay Thompson.
He is sixth Okay me give me more more chance.
Fourth all time in threes. Uh, you're probably gonna need
some sort of hint. Was recently traded within the last

(01:58:32):
few years. All uh all NBA kind of player. Yes,
face of the NBA. Not really, I give up. Damian Lillard.
Damien Dame Lillard is fourth, Lebron James is eighth, Paul
George is eleventh, Kyle Lowry is thirteenth. Kyle Lowry, this

(01:58:58):
is hilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:58:59):
Double check for me. Harden's got two thousand and nine
to seventy three.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
Is that right. Number twenty nine to seventy three is
how many Allen has? Oh so seventy Okay, Okay, so
there was I know he's three away. I just don't
know the exactly. Damian Lillard is fourth all time. Wow,
shout out Kyle Korver, He's seventh, Kyle Korver, Vince Carter ninth,

(01:59:22):
Jason Terry tenth. This isn't not the main I'm gonna say.
This is not a I'm not building a Hall of
All Sunny fifth League team after this. Saint Curry, Harden,
Lebron in the top ten, Ray Allen. Okay, So as
you say that, then it's just volume. This is sheer
number of makes right. Who has the best percentages? There

(01:59:42):
a number one percentages? I don't have it in front
of Okay, I'm gonna guess Stephen Curry as far as
let me ask you this. If that is the case,
does that diminished being the greatest shooter in NBA history
when you're known as that? Does that diminish who you
are as a player, not about you? Like if you
could you create the All NBA team fifteen roster spots,
its Steph curryan on that list of all time on

(02:00:03):
that fifteen man list.

Speaker 3 (02:00:04):
That's what I'm saying. I don't think it's an automatic.

Speaker 2 (02:00:09):
If you're the greatest shooter of all time and you're
not automatically in the top fifteen, what's because he's not
a good defender, never has been. He in his prime
he was okay, But I would go with two way
players who can defend as well, Like I don't know
Kevin Durant, but you have to have guards, you do.
I'm creating a fifteen man roster and I need point guards.

(02:00:33):
I'm gonna go with Magic Bob Coosey.

Speaker 3 (02:00:37):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 2 (02:00:38):
Let's go with people we know. Am I going with
stocked him because of his way he distributes. Am I
going with Gary Payton, the greatest defensive guard ever to
play the game. If I'm creating a fifteen man roster,
I mean, don't I need that defensive lockdown guy? How
about I got one for you? Yeah, Lebron James as
your point guard? Oh okay, I could go with that.

(02:01:00):
That's the NBA's all time leader in turnovers. Oh what's this?
I wonder what Lebron's assistant turnover ratio is. It's not great,
but he's he's in the all time assist list as well.
I think, let me look where he is.

Speaker 4 (02:01:13):
Yeah, he is.

Speaker 2 (02:01:17):
The all time assist list is John Stockton, Jason Kidd,
Chris Paul, Lebron, James, Steve Nash. So Lebron is number
one in scoring, in fourth and assist. He said the
ball in his hand a lot during his twenty years
in the NBA. First and turnovers, And I want to
say he's got to be a top closing in on

(02:01:40):
like top twenty ish as far as rebounds, how about
how about top top five and missus. I know he's no,
he's missed more shots than anybody else. Well yeah, I
think I mean because he's not a fifty percent shooter.
So yeah, that makes sense. He's over a fifty shooter
over for his career, absolutely, Lebron. Yeah, look at that.
I mean, I'm not doubting you, but I bet Justers
bar Lebron is a fifty percent field goal Yeah, there's

(02:02:04):
years where he's shot like sixty percent from the field.
So he just kind of gave up shooting him being
a high permit percentage guy later in his care Oh,
he is close five those six Okay, so you win,
you win. The Snickers bar. Always Snickers maybe the most
underrated candy bar out there. Underrated everybody's got in their
top three. Are you sure I'm going overrated?

Speaker 1 (02:02:22):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (02:02:23):
What? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:02:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:02:25):
No, no caramel chocolate nuts. Nothing's overrated about it's properly rated.
I don't like nuts in my sweets. And if you
if you like the nuts, then you can have the nuts, Matt.
The nuts are all yours. You've been eating nuts for years.
What are you talking about? It's not my preference. Now
you put a Snicker bar in front of me, and
I'm hungry, I'll eat.

Speaker 3 (02:02:43):
You know what you did?

Speaker 2 (02:02:44):
You know you valued it by making it the part
of our bet. It's it's not even close to us
to a Twix. No twigs, overrated, over rated words. We're
at the fight now. Stale cookie covered in chocolate than yours?
Thank you out cookie? What are you talking about it?
I don't scutter. Don't argue food with Matt. I'm sorry

(02:03:06):
you're arguing about twigs. No, I'm not.

Speaker 6 (02:03:10):
I just have to.

Speaker 2 (02:03:10):
That's ridiculous. McRib guy can't can't argue with McRib guy
on TwixT sucks. James on seven on a Hello, James.

Speaker 15 (02:03:21):
Hey, how y'all doing good?

Speaker 2 (02:03:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 24 (02:03:24):
I want to ask a couple of questions. Is anything
Friday is ross leaving the country because Trump got elected?

Speaker 3 (02:03:31):
No, I have a vacation that has been planned for months.
Did you you should say that?

Speaker 4 (02:03:35):
Go with it?

Speaker 3 (02:03:36):
It's funny, No, stupid?

Speaker 15 (02:03:39):
Is that two weeks you're going on vacation? Is that
gonna be enough for you and your lady boy?

Speaker 8 (02:03:43):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:03:43):
What do you mean?

Speaker 15 (02:03:45):
Well, I'm sure you're going to Thailand and get a
lady boy. So I'm sure I'm.

Speaker 2 (02:03:48):
Going to I'm actually going to Korea and Taiwan. I
don't know if you Yeah, you must got some wax
in your ears.

Speaker 15 (02:03:55):
Yeah, I must say I could.

Speaker 2 (02:03:56):
What if I wanted to go get a lady boy
in Thailand?

Speaker 15 (02:03:59):
So what what that would confirm my suspicions about you?

Speaker 4 (02:04:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:04:03):
Nevertheless, that's fine.

Speaker 15 (02:04:04):
Nevertheless, let's talk about you, of h Let's talk about you.
I know you hate me.

Speaker 2 (02:04:08):
Let's talk about You're an idiot and you think you're
you think you're gonna coming off well right now?

Speaker 15 (02:04:13):
Well, I think that you deserve some of this. The
way you treat people. But that's okay.

Speaker 2 (02:04:16):
The way you people terrible people, James, could you people
with dumb ass questions like dumb asses?

Speaker 15 (02:04:22):
But go ahead, you've called me simple minded dumb ass,
you call me you treat you.

Speaker 2 (02:04:27):
Do you think you haven't come off like a simple
minded dumbass in these two minutes? No, I think you
have no.

Speaker 3 (02:04:34):
Go ahead.

Speaker 24 (02:04:35):
Well, okay, hopefully you'll be back to see the Texans
lose before they the Texas and Texas Longhorn lose before
the National Championship.

Speaker 15 (02:04:43):
But nevertheless, let's not talk about that. You have h tonight. Yes,
are they gonna be able to pass the ball or not?

Speaker 2 (02:04:48):
You think, Matt, I don't think it's a huge part
of their game. Honestly, zeon Chris and were going to
get to the top of the hour break see Chris
on one eleven for eleven against Kansas State.

Speaker 3 (02:04:57):
Nice, that's perfect.

Speaker 2 (02:05:00):
I mean, I didn't see the game because I was
busy getting ready for Rockets, but I'm gonna assume that
they were not a lot of deep threats down the field.
Eleven for eleven is crazy. He's great running. He's a
great running quarterback. They're gonna be able to control the
clock because Kansas can. I mean because Arizona can't run
the football. They had five running rushing yards against UCF
two weeks ago. They don't allow uc to get any
Arizona gay any ground game going. They're gonna win this

(02:05:22):
football game. And they're forcing a lot of turnovers, and
they're playing and their defenses go very very good, and
their offenses providing just enough wins the game. Tonight, eight
to fifteen. The pregame show on the nine to fifty
kPr S. It's at nine o'clock starting on a Friday. Yeah, okay,
you're gonna be able to stay up for that. I'm
gonna be up. I'll be listening to on the way

(02:05:42):
home from Rockets. Oh so you're not gonna be listening
to the Rockets rap? There's no chance. I mean, I'm sure. Well,
you know, Dan's Helston said, Yeah, I'll give it a shot.
I wouldn't normally listen if his other people hosting it
got an hour left to go. Yes, I think you're
ready for vacation. Annihilated poor James. No, you know what, James, Now,

(02:06:03):
you're an idiot. I'm not gonna say anything nice about him.

Speaker 3 (02:06:05):
Mm so rude, so so rude.

Speaker 2 (02:06:09):

seven ninety is and anything goes Friday. On the headlines,
we've got the Rockets signed against the Clippers and the
nd season Tournament game number one. We have the Texans
back on the practice field. Nico Collins moving around pretty well.

(02:07:42):
According to one Jonathan m Alexander uh no sign of
Kamari Lassiter, which could not be a good sign because
you need him for your secondary coming up this week,
Texans and Cowboys. I think we've done probably the best
job of breaking it down like a mota, like any
other show in the marketplace. I've heard no one else
in the town even talk about this game coming up,

(02:08:04):
and we've done it, and I a plot ourselves for that. Yeah,
well we're patting ourselves in the back. We're gonna do
four more hours of it on Monday. Oh, I won't
be here. We're gonna get a Dallas perspective on the show.
Great I had that. We'll do to tell the truth
and we will give out predictions on a what should
be a guaranteed win Monday. Oh, speaking of which, since
I'm going to be out of town for like two weeks, Yeah,

(02:08:25):
I wanted to. Can I get into a couple of
gut feelings? Ummm, if you're going to do that, we
need the gut feeling music here and by the way,
will we welcome you at seven one three seven, and
I will take your calls. It isn't anything goes Friday
for the final hour of the show. We have now
in Florida. Story is coming up at about to twenty
five minutes. So if we're gonna do this, we might
as well do it right here. Let's let Connor find
the music and let you get these done in advance.

(02:08:47):
You're gonna do for two of these right yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:08:50):
All right?

Speaker 2 (02:08:50):
Here is Ross was exclusive by himself on his own
gut feelings and write these down. By the way, Jake
Paul wins tonight, okay, by decision not ko, I mean
it's ten two minute rounds, right, twenty minutes of boxing.
That's ridiculous, Hoky, you're gonna feel like a dirty horre
watching it on Netflix. I mean her, am I gonna
feel like Taylor like you called her horror. I'm sorry,

(02:09:11):
she's an attention whore. I don't know that she sleeps around.
Perhaps she's saving herself for marriage. I don't know. That's
not my business. I meant she's attention hoarring, I misspoken.
I apologize, t Tey. She called you her her legal team.

Speaker 4 (02:09:26):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:09:26):
Texans next three games are against who again, Matt.

Speaker 2 (02:09:30):
They have the hated Cowboys, the hated Tennessee's, and they
hate the hated Jacksonville's.

Speaker 3 (02:09:36):
Three to no, what's up, let's go. They're gonna be
nine and four.

Speaker 2 (02:09:41):
We're not gonna be talking about all this.

Speaker 7 (02:09:43):
Wait, you're losing, and the own line is bad.

Speaker 2 (02:09:46):
Niico Collins is coming back, the defense is gonna play good.

Speaker 3 (02:09:50):
They're winning their next three.

Speaker 2 (02:09:52):
What's up?

Speaker 13 (02:09:52):
You hear that?

Speaker 7 (02:09:53):
Folks?

Speaker 6 (02:09:54):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:09:54):
Ross basically just told you the sun's gonna rise each
of the next to twenty one days. Three enough, there's
nothing to quit your whining. Yeah, well, you're probably not
gonna quit your winning cause your textants Hatter Matt, Texans
Realist Matt, and Texans Realist Matt. Also a greet to you.
The texts are one of the next four games. I

(02:10:14):
told you that Texas baired the Cowboys twenty three to thirteen.
Twenty twenty three to thirteen is the final score? Okay,
very good, Jake Paul, As I said, wins by decision. Uh,
there's something I want to say, but I don't think
it's going to happen, So never mind. No, it's got

(02:10:35):
feel it's about the starting five of the Rockets. Oh,
when you come back, there'll be a chick.

Speaker 3 (02:10:40):
When I come back, it will be the same.

Speaker 2 (02:10:42):
Okay, So you didn't necessarily make an adjustment of a
prediction about that. Well, there's a lot of people talking
about a starting five shakeup. I'm gonna say it will
be the same a bar barring injury. Okay, hmm. Will
Mike McCarthy be the coach of the Cowboys when you
come back, Mike McCarthy will be the coach of the Cowboys.

(02:11:03):
All right. I think if the Texans beat them by
ten points or more and it's a dominant performance by
the Texans, where the Cowboy fans of eighty five thousand
or so of the one hundred thousand of there start booing.
I think he loses his job. I think it's gonna
be enough of an embarrassment to get to be beaten
by the Intrust eight team. Right interest date or interest

(02:11:24):
interest date? Alex Bregman will not be signed yep. I
already said that, and Wan Soda will be signed first.
As far as I know, it was talked about as
possibly Bregman signed first, but.

Speaker 3 (02:11:35):
That's not happening.

Speaker 2 (02:11:35):
All right. I want to do one more thing here,
Connor before we take a phone call, so you can
turn this off. This is the good feelings I If
Bregman does sign with someone, I interrupted a lot of
your goodbye to him, and I feel bad. Okay, we
did it earlier. So what I want to do is
I want to do another version of one and that
phose who don't know. Earlier in the show, with Ross

(02:11:57):
leaving for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow, he might
not be able to say goodbye to Alex Bragman on
the radio. So we were pre recorded something, but I
felt like I added too many things in there. Yeah,
you wouldn't shut up. I don't disagree. I don't disagree.
So now at one o eight again, yeah, without me
saying anything, I'm gonna give you the next minute to

(02:12:18):
say goodbye. Now, I remember you cannot say goodbye to
what team is going to leave some spaces or maybe
leave some put all the teams in so we can
quickly erase them. Okay, all right, So without any further ado,
we present to you Ross saying farewell to Alex Brigman
because he is not going to sign here now. The
only question will be is will he signed somewhere while
mister villar Real is away from this country? Alex Alex,

(02:12:48):
Alex Alex F. Brigman. We really appreciate you as a
representative of the new era of Houston Astros baseball, where
we didn't have to watch Bull Porter bumble through double switches,

(02:13:11):
where we didn't have to watch Brad Mills just call
everyone special when they were replacement level, to where you
finally got some national recognition. You, Carlos Correa, Dallas Kyko Lynz,
mcculler's junior, Jose al Tuve, the foundation of the new
Houston Astros. We will always remember how you could hit

(02:13:32):
forty home runs when there was a juice ball.

Speaker 4 (02:13:35):
At least we.

Speaker 2 (02:13:36):
Will always remember you're calling Trevor Bauer Tyler and being
brash and young and set in the edge and having
an attitude about the new Houston Astros and all the
great times you've given us and all the great plays
over there at the hot corner.

Speaker 3 (02:13:55):
Go ahead, of del Thank.

Speaker 13 (02:13:56):
You nothing, best, sometimes lovest, sometimes it Isnesday.

Speaker 2 (02:14:19):
Two time, all start, sometimes gold Glover, sometimes Crawford box shots.
Sure you couldn't hit home runs over four hundred feet,
but they still went out, and we appreciate you for that,
an all time Astro. Great well, welcome back, Welcome you
back for your orange jacket, to be in the Astros
Hall of Fame. Go ahead, and as Marshaun Lynch would say,

(02:14:41):
get your chicken, and we appreciate you and won't be
rooting for you as you play for inserteen, but we'll
always love you and respect you and remember the greatness
of Alex F.

Speaker 4 (02:14:55):
Brigmant.

Speaker 13 (02:14:58):
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
but I couldn't stay away.

Speaker 3 (02:15:04):
I couldn't fight it and see nice clean version there.

Speaker 2 (02:15:08):
Thank you. It'd have been funny for you to put
every team in then we could just you know, edit it. Yeah,
he's gotta go to a Nation League team. It's gonna be,
it would be. It's gonna be too painful. If he's
an American League squad, it's just his because we'll seem
at least six times, if not twelve, if he's plays
on American League West teams. Let's rank. Worst case scenario

(02:15:28):
one is Yankees Yankees one, Mariners two red Sox mm
they don't they don't, don't bother me. Tigers will be three.
I don't care if he goes to the Tigers. Tiger
Tigers A J.

Speaker 15 (02:15:44):
Hinch.

Speaker 2 (02:15:44):
Yeah, get thee again and it feels back together. Yeah,
that's three. Okay, he won't be signed. I don't think. Yeah.
I don't think Scott Borros is gonna wait till May
in March because I didn't work out really well for
his clients last year.

Speaker 3 (02:16:05):
They got lost in some clients.

Speaker 2 (02:16:07):
Are the Astros gonna kick the tires on Blake's now,
by the way, or am I just is that just foolish?

Speaker 3 (02:16:12):
I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:16:14):
I've heard nothing associated with him, but also didn't hearnything
about the Astros being this around Josh Hater this.

Speaker 3 (02:16:19):
Time of year ago is Josh Hater Boris Corporation two?

Speaker 2 (02:16:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:16:26):
I don't know the agent as well as movie I know.

Speaker 2 (02:16:28):
I know Soto and Bregman are. That's why I think
Sodo is gonna go for Hunter Brown. By the way,
brand new Scot Hunter Brown, You're welcome to Alex Bregman
telling you to throw a sinker and now he became
one of the best pictures of baseball. Oh no, uh,
that's right. Josh Hater was c AA c AA is
like them. Yeah, two days in a row, three days
in a row, we're good, six outs.

Speaker 3 (02:16:49):
Now we're good.

Speaker 2 (02:16:50):
Where you go and slow things down? So Hunter Brown
goes to joseal two. Van says, Jose, what's it like
with having Scott Borrows as your client as you're agent?
He goes, Oh, this Heeri is a really nice guy.
He's really good. He's very friendly, he's always reachable. And
he takes his index finger and his thumb and he
goes like this back and forth, like this over and
over again. Maybe he asked Garrett Cole Brown, he's gonna

(02:17:12):
get your bunch of money.

Speaker 3 (02:17:13):
For Pete's sake. You'll have a huge you'll have You'll
have money coming out of your ears.

Speaker 2 (02:17:20):

Okay, all right, since.

Speaker 2 (02:21:14):
Anything goes Friday, I haven't. We're gonna play.

Speaker 3 (02:21:16):
Let's make a deal.

Speaker 2 (02:21:18):
Okay, you know you know what That game is not
exactly Okay, it's a game where you basically have to
choose different curtains in different boxes. You have to figure
out which is the better of the two, and you
win prizes, usually a great prize than one in a
zoonk on the other one. Okay, this isn't azog, It's
just a little one. If I have a going to
give you the following You're gonna receive two Pirate Oh

(02:21:44):
I blew it already, dang.

Speaker 3 (02:21:46):
It, what's happening here?

Speaker 4 (02:21:49):
All right?

Speaker 2 (02:21:50):
You'll receive two Pirates season tickets behind a home plate
for the next thirty years. Okay, You're gonna be able
to meet a certain player for the Pittsburgh Pirate. You're
going to receive two jerseys from this guy autographed.

Speaker 4 (02:22:04):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:22:05):
You're going to get a softball game for thirty at
P and C Park with coaching from a Pirate's alumni.
You'll get a Pirate a private tour of Pirate City
and Lacombe Park. I think that's what is that what
they call their new part the park that's been renamed.
I guess I have no idea, and also more unique experiences.
All you got to do back is to get the

(02:22:28):
Paul Skien's Rookie Debut patch autograph card back to give
him back to him his somebody has a Paul Skian's
Rookie Debut patch autograph card, okay, and and the Pirates
want it from you. Interesting, So you if you had

(02:22:52):
that card in your possession, you get season tickets for
the thirty thirty behind home plate for thirty years.

Speaker 1 (02:22:58):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:22:58):
Meet and greet with Paul Skiings. Wow. Two Paul Skiins
autographed jerseys, softball game for thirty from Pirates alumni and coaching,
private tour of Pirate City and Leecom Park, and many
more unique experiences. Did you see his girlfriend Livy Dunn
up the stakes?

Speaker 6 (02:23:14):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (02:23:15):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:23:15):
How much? Did she up the stakes? She said?

Speaker 2 (02:23:18):
The person who finds the card can sit with me
at a pirate's game in my suite. Okay, so security
hanging over So obviously this card is somewhere and they
can't find it.

Speaker 3 (02:23:30):
But it's a veil.

Speaker 2 (02:23:31):
It's out there somewhere in the world, and the and
the pirates want that card. I'm assuming if Connor have
you seen it? Is there only one card of this
has been signed? Is that right? Or are there been
multiple pule Skiins autographed cards? It says one of one.
Oh you know what, I'm looking at it right now.
That's exactly what it is. One of one. There is
one rookie autograph card with his name on it. So Ross,

(02:23:54):
let's make a deal. It's a patch from don't the
patches off of his debut jersey, his j debut jersey Okay, well,
how oh it's going to be found in a pack. Yeah,
it's from Tops. Okay, it's going to release in a
pack releasing November thirteenth, So it's already released. Okay, so

(02:24:16):
we should go and pull these cards. Now, baseball cards
when we were growing up, the ones that were autographed
for the first in a series or a rookie card
or a complete set was extraordinarily valuable. Yes, I think
that's one of the things in sports that have really
fallen off, is the baseball card. I think I'm doing

(02:24:38):
the deal.

Speaker 4 (02:24:41):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (02:24:41):
I guess.

Speaker 2 (02:24:44):
It has to be worth so much if you're if
they're trying to give away all that, What if it's
more an auction. What if I'd rather action orough, I
would rather have a million dollars than thirty years of pirates.
Baseball can't even get over their watch. So two pirate
seasons tickets behind home play for the next thirty years,
that's got to be eighty one times I'll say one

(02:25:06):
hundred bucks a game for the two tickets. It's eighty
one hundred times thirty. That's twenty four thousand dollars and
no more than that. Two hundred and forty thousand dollars
in value? Correct? I guess okay, you meet and greet
with Paul Schemes, you don't know what that's valued worth.
And meet and greet with Livy Dunn sounds better. Two
autographed jerseys. Those are probably going to be worth at

(02:25:27):
the end of the day ten or fifteen thousand dollars each,
maybe mm hm. So you're looking at about two seventy five.
Soaptball game for thirty. Can't put a price on that.
Private tour of Pirate City and Leecom Park can't put
a price on that. So let's put the intangible price
at at one hundred thousand dollars and the rest of
that stuff you're looking at about three seventy five. I'm
putting an auction. I'm gonna wait, really, shouldn't you? Isn't

(02:25:49):
going to be more valuable in twenty years when he's
a Hall of Famer and we're assuming that he's going
to be a Hall of Famer unless he has Tommy
John five or two of them. Yeah, it's going to
say at least twice. Is this brilliant marketing or is
this we made a mistake. It's got to be marketing. Right,
they are they saying that did they accidentally put at
the top? Like, I don't understand. I think they're just

(02:26:10):
doing freaking for opportunity to get some promotion because they
don't look like, oops, who made a mistake.

Speaker 3 (02:26:15):
They put this on their Twitter account. That's what I'm
getting it right now.

Speaker 2 (02:26:18):
The Pittsburgh Pirates just offered season tickets behind a home
plate for thirty years in exchange for Paul Skiing's one
of one rookie debut patch autographed card. Would you accept
this offer? They're thrown it out there for people took
to have concheckture. So this is like a Willy Wonka
type of golden ticket situation. Yes, humm, it sounds too

(02:26:40):
good to be true, right, So then I would probably
hold onto the jersey. Okay, so this is tops marketing. Yeah,
it is tops market Okay. So they gave it to
him on purpose. Yeah, But if you're a Pirate fan,
you get season tickets for the rest of your adult life.

Speaker 3 (02:26:55):
That's pretty good, is it? Are they gonna be good
over those thirty years?

Speaker 2 (02:27:01):
But it's a good ballpark, it's great seats. I'm sure
you're gonna get, you know, all the chicken tendors. You
can possibly stand. It's okay for.

Speaker 4 (02:27:12):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:27:12):
The problem is it's like a stock. The stock is
really high right now, but it could plummet. You could
have twenty lost seasons to get out a couple of tjs.
He could be, you know, get caught with performance hancing drugs.
Oh kime on.

Speaker 3 (02:27:29):
He just had an e er and or two as
a rookie.

Speaker 2 (02:27:32):
So basically they're good. They're offering about three hundred and
fifty thousand dollars worth of tangible and intangible things for
you to give him the patch back?

Speaker 4 (02:27:38):
Would you do it?

Speaker 20 (02:27:39):
No?

Speaker 3 (02:27:41):
Straight cash?

Speaker 2 (02:27:41):
Homie? Now does that person get made fun of when
he says, no, I'm gonna go buy a pack of
these cards? Now that's what Tops wants.

Speaker 6 (02:27:48):
Dang it.

Speaker 2 (02:27:49):
Tops is winning on this right. I know they're winning
eat a direction. Yeah, they're getting the publicity. They're getting
people to buy the tickets of the cards.

Speaker 3 (02:27:56):
Miss Smart. We're talking about it on the show.

Speaker 15 (02:27:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:27:59):
I think it's an It's the most baseball card talk
we've had on this show in five years.

Speaker 3 (02:28:04):
I think so.

Speaker 4 (02:28:05):
I think so too.

Speaker 3 (02:28:07):

I'm going with Hunter Brown. Baby, we're trying to bring

Speaker 2 (02:30:53):
Can I come on your show again once a week?
You're fixation on Ben Verlander is puzzling and White Belts.
I don't know which you're more fixated on, Taylor, White

conro on seven eight high Alex.

Speaker 5 (02:31:08):
Uh, Connor, do me a favorite? Go ahead, hang up
on me and call Livvy if that's.

Speaker 2 (02:31:13):
That's that's the best call today right there? Thank you
very much. That's awesome.

Speaker 6 (02:31:18):
Uh.

Speaker 21 (02:31:19):
But but in all seriousness that that I can't I
don't know what I can call him that Jack Knob
that called in earlier talking about Ross meeting a lady boy.

Speaker 12 (02:31:27):
Ross to be frank, if you did.

Speaker 5 (02:31:30):
Want to go over there and meet a lady boy,
I wouldn't care one lick.

Speaker 2 (02:31:34):
I don't think I should before if.

Speaker 12 (02:31:36):
You came back and your name was now Rousselyn, I
wouldn't care. Good, it doesn't matter. It's none of my business.
And it's really weird that he's thinking about what you
might be doing.

Speaker 2 (02:31:47):
That's just that's odd. By the way, just for the
sake of interesting information. A lady boy is an informal
term for a transvestite or transsexual, especially one from the
far East. Just want to pass that along. Yeah, thank you, Alan,
I thank you, Matt, all right, anything else sucks.

Speaker 4 (02:32:02):
You had to look at very familiar.

Speaker 2 (02:32:08):
Yeah, honestly, Alex, I had no idea what I had
no idea what a lady boy was until he said it.

Speaker 3 (02:32:12):
So if I was able to learn something.

Speaker 2 (02:32:14):
Every day every day on the show.

Speaker 3 (02:32:15):
Tended to thanks Alex to the phone call for good weekend.

Speaker 2 (02:32:17):
We appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (02:32:19):
I really never heard of that term. Oh you haven't.

Speaker 2 (02:32:21):
Well, I'm not going to Thailand. I'm going to Taiwan.
So I know James simple minded, unintelligent. James is very
confused there. So it cuts deep. Time now for some
non Florida stories. All Right, I'm gonna go first, I
kind of like mine. I'm going to China. You're not
going to China, are you?

Speaker 1 (02:32:41):
Again?

Speaker 4 (02:32:42):
Soul?

Speaker 2 (02:32:42):
South Korea and Taiwan, and you're not going to find
a lady boy while you're there, But if you did,
I wouldn't care if I did, does that matter. I'm
gonna judge you, Okay, it feels like you're judging. No,
I mean I judge, but that is not in the plans.

Speaker 11 (02:32:54):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:32:55):
I would like to introduce you, both of you into
our audience to a woman named and you'll be able
to google her after I read this story, because once
I tell you about her, you're gonna be like, is
this really real?

Speaker 3 (02:33:08):
And the answer is yes, it's real, but it's not spectacular.

Speaker 2 (02:33:12):
Okay, she's one hundred and seven years old, rosst Yeah,
she has become a social media star. You're saying, well,
how did that happen? In the October twenty ninth New
York Post, A story about miss Chen was discussed because
she has an unusual facial feature. She has a four

(02:33:35):
inch long horn growing out of her forehead. What Some
people think the growth is responsible for Chen's advanced age
and are calling it quote a longevity horn. Doctors, however,
are calling it a cutanedius form cutininius horn, which is

(02:33:56):
often associated with prolonged sun exposure. Chen Haliver remains in
good health, she eats heartily, and she has no intention
of having the horn removed. I'm gonna tell you please
go google Chin with a horn. Ch e n with
a horn. She's real and it's not spectacular. It's quite

(02:34:21):
unnerving to look at. But she's one hundred and seven
years old. And if you're one hundred and seventy, you
have a horn in your head, so be it. So
just know that if you're gonna get to one hundred
and seven, chances are you're gonna have a four inch
horn coming out of your forehead.

Speaker 3 (02:34:33):
And that's my Nun Florida story. Thanks Matt.

Speaker 2 (02:34:39):
You connor go google it so you can at least
give it an instant reaction to what you look like?
What you think Chen looks like? What do I google
chen with a horn. Ch e n with a horn
out of her head with a horn.

Speaker 3 (02:34:52):
Do you find it?

Speaker 8 (02:34:53):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (02:34:54):
Yeah, it's kind of it's very disturbing. Yeah, I'm not
gonna sleep tonight.

Speaker 4 (02:34:57):
Thing.

Speaker 2 (02:34:57):
All right, I'm moving on. U. Let me tell you
about some people who were at the in the San
Bernardino Mountains northeast of Los.

Speaker 3 (02:35:08):
Angeles, a good vacation spot.

Speaker 2 (02:35:11):
Well, apparently, on January eighth, there was a parked car
at Lake Arrowhead.

Speaker 3 (02:35:18):
It was a very nice car.

Speaker 2 (02:35:19):
It was a twenty Rolls Royce Ghost that apparently was
trashed by a bear. Four people saw this bear trashing
the Rolls Royce, videotaped it and of course sent it
into the insurance company. Oh yeah, and then tried to,

(02:35:39):
of course make claims on the totaling of the car. However,
upon further scrutiny, the investigation determined that it was.

Speaker 1 (02:35:49):
Actually a person in a bear console.

Speaker 3 (02:35:52):
Shut up, shut up, that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (02:35:57):
Yes. The California Department of Insurance says that the group
they determined it was a person in a bear costume
Reuben Tamarazian and Araba chick orchon. That sounds all right
me something or other good god, four of them of
Valley Village arrested on charges of insurance fraud and conspiracy.

(02:36:19):
Conspiracy charges have submitted against the four people arrested. The
cases under review for decisions on charges. The scam costs
the insurance companies over one hundred and forty thousand dollars. Apparently,
they did seize the bear costume. It had brown fur
head shaped like a bear, palls and metal hand tools

(02:36:41):
to simulate claw marks that were found in the suspects home.
Number of times you've been in a rolls roys in
your life in your life zero. I've been in there
once on my wedding day. November twenty ninth, nineteen ninety seven.
Investigators showed the videos to a biologist from the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Speaker 3 (02:36:59):
Who Op, it was clearly a human in a bear suit.

Speaker 2 (02:37:03):
In the video, and the only wild bears in the
sand Burd Mountains or anywhere else are black bears. They were,
of course dressed as a grizzly bear, So you got
to keep your biology together, folks. Shout out to my
good friend on Twitter who sent me that one. His
name is Kevin Andrews. Kevin thank you very much for that.

(02:37:24):

Speaker 3 (02:37:34):
What do you got for your non flora story?

Speaker 4 (02:37:36):
Matt?

Speaker 2 (02:37:36):
Do you like to fish?

Speaker 3 (02:37:37):
Not really, but for the sake of the argument, I
love to fish. Okay. Do you remember anything that you've
caught some Chilean sea bass?

Speaker 2 (02:37:45):
Okay?

Speaker 25 (02:37:46):
Well, this Norwegian fishing boat probably had one of the
biggest catches of all time a US Navy nuclear powered submarine.
The thirty two foot fishing boat was on its way
back to harbor after looking for Halibit when the fisherman
discovered that a near eight thousand submarine was tangled in
their nets.

Speaker 2 (02:38:02):
Quote.

Speaker 25 (02:38:03):
We had just emptied the nets and put them out
again and were on our way back to harbor when
we received a radio call from the coast Guard. The
ship's captain said the fishing net got sucked into the
submarines propellers that had to be cut out by an
escort vessel provided by the Norwegian Coast Guard. The coast
Guard explained that the submarine had dragged the nets two
nautical miles out to sea, where they were eventually cut off.

(02:38:23):
So a fishing ship in Norway full of twenty year
old fishermen looking for halbert, we're having their nets dragged
by a US Navy nuclear submarine armed with cruise missiles
and didn't notice until the coastguard called them, And the.

Speaker 2 (02:38:34):
Boat didn't fall over anything like that. I mean, that's crazy. Yeah,
they didn't even notice. And how long did it take
for them to figure out they had captured a submarine?

Speaker 25 (02:38:47):
However long it took to go two nautical miles and
they didn't realize until the coast guard called them.

Speaker 2 (02:38:52):
Then they had to wait for a vessel to come
help them. Those were a bunch of guys taking a
nap or didn't give two craps about what was being caught.

Speaker 3 (02:38:57):
That's ridiculous. That was a waste of tax money, correct.

Speaker 25 (02:39:01):
They Actually the fishermen lost a lot of money, they said,
because they lost their nets in day's worth of halib it.

Speaker 3 (02:39:06):
Well, how do you feel about halibate? Generally speaking?

Speaker 4 (02:39:09):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (02:39:10):
I like fish, I'm getting better for the own fish.
I don't like a salmon. I like everything else. Good
white fish is very good. Good halibate is good. Not
like a branzino where it's like the whole fish. No,
never done that. Don't ever have a ludafisk though. That's
the worst fish ever created on earth. I'll trust you.
My wife sent we were moving in Minnesota. She sent
me to the Groce stores so get some fished in.

(02:39:30):
I would and got lutafisk put in the oven. It's
dunked the house up for a week. It was so
bad that we didn't even meet a single bite of it.
We ordered a pizza. That's just a name that doesn't
sound happen. No, go up, look, look, go look up ludafisk.
It's the most disgusting fish ever and no one should
eat it outside of people outside the state of Minnesota.

Speaker 3 (02:39:46):
All right, that's it on Flora Stories. Nice job, boys.
