Good morning and welcome doing Friday.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Edition of About Thomas Show and Ross.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
There's this Sports Talk Sevenny. All right, it's your favorite
arrogon host at ten o three on Sports Talk seven.
Natty Matt, you are my favorite argon host. Oh earlier
than now. All we do is catch straight. You're stissistic. Yes,

(00:35):
all the above. Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Don't forget you.
I've learned some of my worst habits from you. I
got called an a hole two or something. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Normally Okay, we were on a real talk Friday.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
First of all, we miss Sean. He is a great
part of our station, our industry is. It's tough. It
just is, and we miss it. Matter of fact, DeShawn
and I have communicated multiple times. Uh, and he is
going to be missed. He's very, very strong. He will
be back on his feet whatever he does. I ain't

(01:08):
worried about him. He's not worried about himself. He will
he will pick up what does it pick up your bootstrap?

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Is that what you do? Pick himself up by his bootstrap?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
There you go, and but we are all good and
so he sent a nice message out to thank all
of you for listening to the station. And yes, it
took a five or six of you to take an
opportunity to say how bad I personally suck, and how
seven ninety is going down a hole that will will
never come out of.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, so that happens.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
We've we are the cockroaches of seven ninety, Matt, You

and a lot of unfortunately departures. And normally we catch
a couple strays and well, it's happening this time. Yeah,
it's it's I'm getting frankly used to it.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Normally.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Why are they keeping this guy? Why are they letting
this guy go and keeping this guy? I can't believe
they let go of Josh. It is and they're letting
those idiots Matt.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
And ross day. Yeah, Usually it happens.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
It does, and that's and that's why I'm kind of
I don't make a light of it, because, look, I'm
going to miss Sean. I don't want I didn't want
Sean to lose his job. It was a terrible, terrible
part of our business, our terrible part of us. It
was strictly financially, strictly finding company, and so we have
to the show must go on. Sean would do the
same thing if the roles reversed. Yes, and but man, it's.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
It's fine.

Speaker 3 (02:27):

Don't take any calls at all because they like to
hear themselves talk. There are some shows that say, oh,

Speaker 3 (03:56):
We've got I'm Sorry. He's coming up at eleven thirty. Ross.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Oh's me a huge I'm sorry or something that just
happened a few minutes ago. Okay, I also I'm going
to apologize to a caller interacted with this week.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Really, yes, don't tell me any more. About it.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I don't want to talk about all the radiots. Man,
It's good, Okay, Levin, you got to listen to eleven thirty.
We're gonna have at ten thirty bottom of the hour.
If you did not hear the conversation that Channel Rome
had with the eighteen, We're gonna play some of that
today on the show because it was good because Chandler
was really out in front of all this astro stuff.
So for us to compare to guessing about the speculation

(04:35):
about what was going on, Chandler was the one on
the on the scene.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
So we'll play some of that for you at ten thirty.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
It mentioned eleven thirty, we've got I'm sorry, We've got
doctor Rhodo at one o'clock. And I am bucking out
a little early today to go catch the cougar's flight
to Oklahoma State. So I have sent Ross two non
Florida stories. I had sent Jonathan one, and I'm gonna
send you a second one, Jonathan. So each of you
are gonna have two nine on Florida stories to get to.

(05:01):
Whether you choose to use them is really of your
own prerogative. But I thought the spirit of the non
Florida stories. These would be stories that I would easily use,
as might a segment of non Florida stories.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
So whether you choose them or not is up to.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
You, okay, but they are uncomfortable, most of them are
as usually the segment is on the radio show.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I don't know if I want to do these.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
We the one you don't want to send some one
to Jonathan, which, yeah, we'll see. Say much research I
do between now and then. That's funny, all right, don't
believe it or not? Right, Okay, I'll be fine. That's
something I want to give you guys, two stories because
Matt uh, and then I'll listen and see how you
how it's so gracious Matt, Well, I mean I want
to make sure you're taking care of humble and gracious.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's your usual. No no, no, no, no, humble, and please
don't forget that. That's funny. That's funny, all right.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
On the radio show today, what a wacky night in
sports scataboo. Yes, first of all, I've tried to spell
it without looking at it. That's never going to happen.
It's not that bad. It's not as what you think
it would be. As k a t T E b O.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, but I was way off.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Okay, So I'm just saying that I scatabooed it. He
was amazing last night the Eagles. Look, I mean his
yards per carry weren't amazing, but.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
He's Yeah, fantasy football, I lost. I'm playing Adam Clinton.
I mean if does he have stataboo?

Speaker 7 (06:29):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Do you understand how embarrassing he is to lose at
Adam Clayton. It's going to happen. I'm getting my askicked
already and he's already used two players. They both went
off last night. Oh you know what, he got ups
five yards per good for scataboo. I'm still holding a
grudge from the Texas game. You should guy almost single
handlely beat you.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Overrated? Was that overrating?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
He's in the Giants and he's like and then he
goes in the post game showings break taking his shirt
off and Ryan story. Then you got Philadelphia and the
Dodgers last night going to eleven innings and that damn
picture Philadelphia.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
How we feeling after last night?

Speaker 2 (07:05):
So the young man's name, which I I don't haven't
memorized because I frankly don't follow Philadelphia Phillies pitching. But
I sent you a matter of fact, I sent you
the guys uh uh postgame reaction and make sure it
is a name, right. This is the relief pitcher. This
is the eleventh thing. Orian Kirkering. I've never heard of him.
Not that again, I don't know if I should, but

(07:27):
I just don't follow middle relievers for the Philadelphia Ryan's
a great name. That's that's a top three constellation. That's
actually not that's not a it's interesting. Yeah, I'm gonna
go uh ursa Major, Oriyan and Scorpius. Top three constellations.
Would you name your children in that order if you
had three? Maybe a Cassiopea in there?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Orion oh r Ion Kirkering Orian Orian Kirkering, mm hmm, Yeah,
he looks like he's gonna cry. So what happened? The
loaded ground ball hit to him? Actually it was a
one hopper. He would have had to make a pretty
interesting twist and turn but to first base, but he
had a chance of getting the out there. He threw

(08:07):
the ball home, and even if the ball was thrown
perfectly to the catcher, looking at the instant replay, he
would have been saved. It would have been safe. I
was gonna say the same thing. So he absolutely aired
one hundred percent by throwing home. The worst part of
it was not only did he throw home when he
would have been the player running would have been safe,
but the ball went I mean he had a south
by southwest curve to it, it went to the backstop,

(08:30):
and the Philadelphia Phillies lost the Dodgers and the Phillies
are out. So what does Orion Kirkerling do? He faces whatever,
We're gonna forget him on tomorrow, mister Kirkering. Of course,
if he wants to be an astrumental reliever, I'm sure he's,
you know, go work on those pfps. And when he
does come on home, work with oh ooh No, I

(08:53):
don't want him anywhere near fromber on the PfP. Yeah,
everybodys freaking out, like hey, we see this fifteen times
a year from Rommer. So a lot of times people
will duck and hide, yes, and it happens quite a
bit action in sports. James Harden's notorious for ducking and
hiding after a series eliminating games. I remember after we
waited for Ken Giles for like almost an hour one
time after a playoff game. So we're gonna let you
hear what Oriyan Kirker Kirkering said. There are some swear words.

(09:15):
I'm gonna have to have ross edited a little bit.
But he stood there and admitted everything. And he gets
major props from me for being as honest and forthcoming
as he was yesterday. I think we should give him
some shine. Terrible decision, bad mistake. Yes, look, it's a
one to one game. Some more offense would have helped,

(09:37):
for sure, But the reality is in little in games
that are that close, in extra innings, in game deciding series,
the little things matter, and if he makes the throw
at first, it would have been.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
A tough play.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yes, but yeah, there's a guy named Mike Petriello Petriello
who works for Baseball Savant and MLB. Yeah, he has
the track and Kim was thirty feet from home and
basically at a full sprint at that point when he
fielded the ball. Kirkering and Pious was fifty five feet

(10:10):
from first base.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
It was a big difference.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Big it was, Yeah, because they've shown the angles where
should he have gone? And the play was definitely a
home plate Yeah, and sometimes those home plate deals are
really tough as it is. Yes, that's true from him. Wow,
I mean you should feel super bad for him. The
problem is again, that's a professional you have to make

(10:32):
plays in professional sports. Oh no, it's already a meme.
They're putting like me on as him Kirkering. First base
is a water and then home plate is another beer.
Oh no, going home anyway, if you don't mind editing
that because there are some swear words, put you on it.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I don't how to do it. I'll teach you in.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
The middle of the show. I'm going to edit the
channel Rome conversation. Oh okay, other thing. We're team okay,
we're team seven one three two one two seven ninety
seven one three two one two five seven.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
We got people are in the lino. Let's get to
you next.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Is that anything goes Freddy ROSSI and that means what
it's one three two one two five seven anything knows
on the phone lines, it's seven one three two one
two five seven ninety If you want to talk about
the playoffs last night, if you want to talk about
the big shakeups, a lot of it happened in the
middle of the show, So still an opportunity to talk
about all the Astros firings, Alex Centron and Troy Snicker out,

(11:27):
the Jermi Randall yet Michael Collins I believe was his name,
the catching coach, Jeremi Randall the head trainer, and then
Andy Bell or something Bell, the assistant general manager out
as well. So some I don't want to say wholesale
changes because a lot of the big names are still there,
Dana Brown, Joe Spot, but a lot of staff changes
for the Houston Astros.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
We can talk about that anything you want to get
to and Cam.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Skataboo and Camp Scataboo and Jackson Dark and the Astros did.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Put a thank you to those gentlemen out there on
their on their socials.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
I don't know if you have to thank people, because man,
the responses are they're like my strays and people are
horrible on social media, and you know what, quite frankly,
many of you are losers.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I'm gonna say it, what's up Myra, Well.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
I mean people can be mean, That's what I'm saying,
Like we can disagree on stuff, but when people start
getting personal, it's like you're a loser. Yeah, I mean
we have I have advertised on the station they're meaning
to me, life is in such a sad place that
you have to personally attack somebody to feel better about yourself.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, it is what it is, and it goes Friday

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yes, he's a long suffering sports fan, like we've been

Speaker 2 (15:47):
I mean, there's so much sports radio on you and
not every show could be the same.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
There's it's just no other way around it. We can't.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I wouldn't want the next show to be on after

couldn't be mad. We our own selves. We are our
own selves to the detriment of some hopefully did a
lot of many and thank you very about yeah again.
I once learned a long time ago, if everybody loves you,
you're doing something wrong. That's true. Actually, so it fires

I maybe doing something right.

Speaker 8 (16:21):

to you.

Speaker 10 (17:00):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Have your Friday guys.

Speaker 12 (17:03):
Hey, I saw a post on social media that I
thought I wanted to call you on anything goes Friday? Please,
that's pretty interesting. So, taking the group of athletic men,
you know, in shape athletic men, what do you think is.

Speaker 8 (17:15):
The hardest thing to do?

Speaker 12 (17:16):
Hit a major league fastball in the upper nineties, beat
beat and UFC heavyweight, hit a hole in one, or
run a sub four minute mile. Noting that in the
history of the world there's only eighteen hundred sub for
minute mile has been ran. So do you want to

(17:38):
hit a major league fastball in the upper nineties hardest
thing to do?

Speaker 8 (17:41):
Beat an UFC.

Speaker 12 (17:43):
Heavyweight, hit a hole in one, or run a sub
fort minute mile.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Do you mean the hardest to do? Or what do
what we get to accomplage?

Speaker 12 (17:51):
Hardest to do, hardest to do For the average athletic adult.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Man, I would say, UFC heavyweight, you go heavyweight, You got.

Speaker 9 (17:57):
No, that's what I would say exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
I could maybe hit a hole in one. No, look, Mike,
I don't know what your frame is. I get I
mean I need about ten thousand fastballs. I might kick
contact on one. Well, Mike, how old are you might ask?

Speaker 10 (18:13):
I'm fifty eight, I'm six.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Oh you got no shot? Okay, when you were twenty six?

Speaker 2 (18:19):
When you were twenty six, could you have I mean,
would you consider yourself a sprinter?

Speaker 13 (18:25):
No?

Speaker 3 (18:27):
I mean I I would fight in.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
I was a fight in in.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
The division to school and a breast.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
I got you.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
I got Youah, you're d two tight end you could
have done. So here's my point. I don't know if
it's humanly. I think it's a very few people in
the world that could do sub formuut Miles, Yeah, so
I would That is the most difficult thing. Yeah, but
you're not knocking out a heavyweight. Those dudes are get
up to two sixty five, all right, and they're made
of granted, let's rephrase the question. If you were if

(18:53):
if there was a magic genie that gave you those
four things, and you could do one of them, which
one of the four would you want to do? That's
better question. Well, UFC heavyweight champ is getting the most money, right.

Speaker 12 (19:09):
I think I'd want to be dead because you're you're
a badass if you can take on the heavyweight championship.

Speaker 9 (19:13):
I mean that's physical, that's not.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Like I mean, you're basically the baddest man on the planet.

Speaker 10 (19:20):
You're pretty badass if you're doing that.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Okay, these are things we mess all over. Thanks Michael.
Anything goes a perfect anything goes Friday.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Call sub four. You're in history books forever though. That's well,
so are you, heayway. You know they come and go
sub four. But the whole on one, whole one is
done by people coming all the time. So I'm gonna
to discount that one. Knock out a UFC guy, or
hit a fastball for a home run, he's a home run.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
I mean, he just said him.

Speaker 12 (19:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
I'm gonna presume at home run. I mean I get based,
not I get a bloop.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
You told you when I went with a bat without batting,
when pitches were thrown at fifty at me and I
couldn't use my hands for a thing, I said, I'm
not saying yeah, I'm not saying it's going to go. Well,
I'm saying I can get one if you throw me
ten thousand of them.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
I think if you don't get in the first fifteen,
you're not gonna get in between sixteen and ten thousand. Okay,
this is off pitching machine, right, Are we talking about movement?

Speaker 6 (20:20):
I don't think it matters. No, he said up or right,
So he's got to be with a picture right all right?

Speaker 2 (20:25):
To me, the greatest claim to fame would be knocking
out a UFC bier fighter, Yeah, or a boxer for.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
That one's that one's to me? Is the one?

Speaker 5 (20:33):
All right?

Speaker 2 (20:34):
Real quick before we get to Channel Rome's conversation yesterday, Jacob,
you're on seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Good morning to you.

Speaker 14 (20:40):
Hey, Good morning, Matt and Ross.

Speaker 10 (20:41):
Are you all well?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Thank you?

Speaker 14 (20:44):
Good hey. Earlier you're talking a little bit about playoffs baseball,
and you heard he say go Tigers, and I'm not
against that now, uh uh well, let me let me explain,
all right, And I want to explain to you why
I am rooting.

Speaker 10 (20:56):
For the Marinards.

Speaker 14 (20:57):
Okay throughout the playoffs, and that happened so far so
number one during the season and for the last you
know my whole life. I'm just thirty now, but I've
been an Astros fan my whole life rooting for the Astros.
Loved it when they.

Speaker 10 (21:10):
Kicked their bus a couple of years ago.

Speaker 14 (21:11):
That walk off off of Robbie Ray was, you know,
the icing on the cake, We're always going to be
better than you kind of things. This year, they had
our number, they ate our lunch, they kicked our bus,
that final suite at the end of the season.

Speaker 9 (21:22):
Pass off to them.

Speaker 14 (21:23):
So now that we're out of the playoff picture, I
then can open up and say, Okay, what am I
looking for in the playoffs?

Speaker 9 (21:30):
Who do I want to win?

Speaker 14 (21:31):
Obviously, you don't want the Daughters to win, you don't
want the Yankees to win. Couldn't really care less about
some of the other teams. The reason, one of the
one of the main reasons I'm picking the Mariners is
because if they end up winning it all number one,
it proves that that team being good in the West
is the reason we didn't make it in now one
of the many reasons. Obviously we've dealt with a lot

(21:51):
of stuff this year, but the Mariners winning it All
is like, hey, we were in that division we got
swept by them. It was clear that that's why we
got swept, because they were the best team in baseball
this year. Number Two, it does good for baseball, I
think to have a small market team who's not only
never made the World Series, to then make it and
win the World Series.

Speaker 15 (22:10):
And number three, I.

Speaker 14 (22:11):
Think, other than the fans are annoying and everything like that,
they don't really have any guys on that team other
than a Rose Arena.

Speaker 9 (22:18):
Who I really don't like.

Speaker 14 (22:19):
They have likable guys up and down the lineup. They
have a deep lineup, they have a deep rotation. Their
bullpen is suspect at times, but overall, I don't have
any really ill feelings towards the Mariners as I would
a team like the Dodgers or Yankees or Phillies. For
those reasons, I think we can get behind the Mariners
as Astros fans being out of the picture, being out

(22:40):
of the playoffs, I think it will do really well,
not only to build our case to say because they
beat us and look, they're the best team in the
world now, and because again a small market team that's
never been to win the World Series in their first
time there.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Shut up, shut up, Jacob. Hell time, Jacob, that's the
worse I've ever heard mine time line.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
That's terrible. That's terrible. Manners can suck it. Helpe you
lose like you've done these in the last forty years
of your existence. I want their fans crying. But thank
you for your perspective, Jacob. We love you to each
of them. We love you, Jacob absolutely well, then shut
your bub bass off. We let him say his peace.

Speaker 13 (23:27):
We did.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
We were polite up until the very end. Y'all no good,
We are good. You know Jacob knows him. Shut your
bub bass up.

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Seriously. Anybody for Mariners World Series?

Speaker 16 (23:40):
Root for the Mariners?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Man?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
No, hell no? Have you seen their fans?

Speaker 5 (23:45):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
We'll come back with the int Pulse see how people feel. Okay,
you know what?

Speaker 5 (23:48):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Actually, so Jacob's call says you and Houston should root
for the Mariners.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Did Jacob's call do enough for you?

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Seven one three, two one two five seven ninety We'll
do the Instapult the music coming back. Plus we'll hear
from Channel Rome as well. All right, So Jacob wants
us to root for the Mariners. He just gave us
a nice, compelling argument fact driven left the emotions out

(24:16):
of it, and now it's up for you to decide
what should we do. It's time for an instapole seven
one three two, one two five seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Jacob gave you the take. Do you buy?

Speaker 2 (24:32):
How are we gonna say this? You want to rush
in or flush Jacob's take and do that? How about
go Mariners and go Tigers. Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's
even better. Go Mariners or go Tigers. And remember Rossy,
the instapole does not lie.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
No, it doesn't. Second, we got four o'ed recently on something.
Oh yeah, what was it?

Speaker 2 (24:52):
I don't remember, Oh star spanker Manner or got lost America.
Craig Ackerman came in and back you up, and that
he did.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
It's worth it.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Seven one three two one tw two five seven seven
one three two one two five SEVENANTI Game five tonight

compelling argument as to why you should root for the
Seattle Mariners. Go Tigers, Go Mariners. Line one of the instapole,
Go Tigers or go Mariners, Go Tigers. All right, that's

(25:20):
one Line two on the instapole, Go Tigers, or go Mariners.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Oh no, you can't make a decision.

Go Tigers or go Mariners, Go Tigers. That's three, line
five on the instapole. Go Tigers, Go Mariners, Go Tigers.
Oh oh, the insuppose closed.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Jacob's like, and it's cargo, And I was, I was
really thoughtful of my house was I mean, I get it.
The players are nice, it's a good story. They've never
made a World series. Screw those Mariners fans. I don't
want their fans to be happy, because if you think
that our buddy Softy is borish, now.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
It could be significantly. Look at those lines.

Speaker 9 (26:27):
I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
I'm curious. Actually can bring the music back? Yeah, bring
the music. Let's say we can find one pouring in.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Let's say if I get one Mariner call we appreciate y'all. Man,
This actually warms my heart. Line three, Go Mariners, Go Tigers.

Oh it's ten to one into one. Mmmm that's great
now yet one fine?

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Should we could have put a pole question up on
the at sports vent team account? No, that's all right now.
I think we'd be able to figure it out. Man,
I made Jacob. He's Jacob's like feeling better, Jacob. We
would love you know this?

Speaker 18 (28:11):
Right?

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, he's you know what, you got ten percent of
the people with your or no nine percent? Yeah, I
mean it's close. A lot of political candidates would would
love for run nine percent. Oh, people that got four.
I mean, let me tell you some if there was
a Ross Perot, if there was a libertarian candidate, they'd
love nine percent.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Jill Stein Green Party.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, uh, what was that weirdo that was the singer
that was running for governor? Kinky Friedman, Yeah, Kink he
would died for nine percent. Well he's dead now, Well
then he died four and he rests, he rests. He
would have loved nine percent.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Okay, yeah, but all right.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
So we run a little bit late on this. We're
gon We're gonna now play Channeler next segment for sure,
I promise. Huh uh yeah. I can't pull the trigger,
but I was very happy saying go Blue Jays.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Yeah, that was Springer. That was easy. Vladdy Junior's fun.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Joey Milestraw, Yes, Astro's legend. Milestraw, retire Jersey, yes or no? Yes,
you have one center fielder left in your and you
can put in the Astros Hall of Fame Milestraw. Jake Myers,
Come on now, Jake the Rake baby. Do you think
they trade Jake Myers in the off season?

Speaker 9 (29:19):
Why?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Why would you say that out loud? I'm just throwing
out there. Don't mean to be rude, but it's just
truth tell. I'm gonna tell the truth seven odd three
to what Now you're mad at me? Now, that's fine.
I owe you for so much already. Today I don't
owe me for Jack seven o three. I had to
go get breakfast. Big news obviously yesterday with the shakeups

(29:43):
to the Astros staff. Troy Snicker and Alex Centron the
hitting coach is gone, some others gone as well. News
first broken by Chandler Rome and some Brian McTaggart mixed
in there as well. So Chandler Rome a frequent guest
of the A team, so we wanted to bring you
some good conversation and then we can listen and react

(30:03):
from there. Talking about the shakeups at Astroville and the
moves made yesterday. Here is Chandler Rome talking to the
A team about those sweeping Astros changes.

Speaker 20 (30:15):
Well, I think you had to know changes were coming,
especially when you know they can paint it how they want.
But taking a week to decide whether you're going to
bring your manager or GM back, that's the first sign
that things are Probably there's some uneasiness and some tension
and some things that need to be resolved in the organization.

(30:35):
So once they made the decision that Dana Brown and
Joe Spot We're going to continue in their roles, you know,
you kind of knew that they couldn't just run it
back as it was both on the personnel side and
you know, on the coaching staff and the staff side.
So you know, I've kind of said my piece about
the offense and about hitting coaches in general. You know, look,

(30:58):
they have a lot of guys on the team that's
swing a lot. They have a lot of guys on
the team that chase outside the strike zone a lot.
They have a lot of guys with a similar offensive profile.
And when they got hit with a bunch of injuries
this year to the guys that are not that profile,
you saw what happened. So you know, is it is
bringing in two new hitting coaches going to just completely

(31:20):
revitalize the offense.

Speaker 8 (31:22):
I don't believe.

Speaker 20 (31:22):
So I think maybe what I've took more from the
moves today is you know, you look at Troy Snicker,
Alex Cintron, Michael Collins, and Jeremiah Randall, even the head trainer.
You know, they've all been with the team since at
least twenty eighteen.

Speaker 8 (31:39):
It's a it's a group that is very.

Speaker 20 (31:41):
Much the same, Like, not much has changed here other
than you know, a couple managers and the GM office
has changed, but the coaching staff and the philosophies and
the voices have stayed the same. I wonder, honestly, if
they were just looking to shake it up a little bit,
like see if a different voice, see if you know,
a different set of eyes, a fresh set of eyes

(32:02):
can maybe help them unlock some stuff. But you know,
that's kind of the main thing I took away from it.
I'm not sitting here saying that they're going to go
hire two hitting coaches and they're going to lead the
league in ops next year. It's more than that, Like,
it's not just as that bunch of a quick six.

Speaker 17 (32:17):
And the other part of it with that, you are
who you are, and these are the players that were
acquired over the years or developed over the years. How
much I'm very hesitant to blame hitting coaches the ones
that get fired mid season, it's even worse, it's usually
not on them for the vast majority of the issues
that you have. But is it more about and I
talked about this last second. It's just more about situational

(32:38):
hitting decisions made with the bat that even hitters who
have a certain profile can adapt to two strike hitting,
hitting behind runners, making more contact things like that.

Speaker 20 (32:50):
I mean, sure they can implement all these you know,
new philosophies and new rules and things like that of
doing stuff different when two strikes, doing stuff different.

Speaker 8 (32:59):
When they're third one out.

Speaker 20 (33:01):
But at the end of the day, like the hitting
coaches aren't going up there and like actually executing. They
can say all they want, like my pushback this whole
time has been do you guys not think that Troy
Snicker or Alex sin Tron like sat yinrdeas down at
one point, like hey, you need to stop chasing everything
outside the strike zone, or like they've sat people down
and like they know what these guys as shortcomings are.

(33:22):
It's just it didn't get fixed. And I don't know
how much of that you can put on the player.
I don't know how much of that you count on
the coach. I think there's a fair serving of both
that deserve blame. But yeah, I mean, I don't think
it's the worst thing in the world to get some
new sets of eyes in here and to get some
new you know, just maybe some language and some lingo

(33:43):
in some way of doing things that that they just
haven't been accustomed to, because, like I said, this is
a group, a coaching staff group that has been together.

Speaker 8 (33:51):
For a very very long time. And I'm not.

Speaker 20 (33:54):
Gonna sit here and say complacency setting becuse I don't
believe it did at all.

Speaker 8 (33:57):
Like they are not a complacent group.

Speaker 20 (33:59):
But when you keep having the same message and when
you keep preaching the same thing, you know, sometimes it
can get a little bit stale.

Speaker 8 (34:06):
And I'm not saying that happen in this situation, but
I do think it can.

Speaker 20 (34:10):
Be beneficial, but just have a different voice and to
have maybe a different way of looking at things.

Speaker 17 (34:15):
Well, what's the line or what's the balance between the
department that Jeremiah Randall is running, an athletic training staff
and everybody that's under his watch and his day to
day duties and handling the injuries and then the coming
back from injuries, and the actual medical staff and the
doctors and those doing the imaging and making the diagnosis
and things like that, Because there's more to it than
just it's all by no means Is it all on Jeremiah.

Speaker 8 (34:38):
Oh no, it's not. It's not. It's not just all
on Jeremia Randall.

Speaker 20 (34:42):
This is like a holistic problem that you know, they've
probably made some change. They probably made some changes in
the season that we don't even know about and we
probably will never know about, just in terms of like
how they do different things, and maybe in terms of imaging,
in terms of you know, timelines of how they maybe
they're you know, they're standing of care of how they
take care of certain injuries. I'm sure they've made some changes.

(35:06):
To put it all on the athletic trainer is misguided,
but you know, I do think again, it's the same
Jeremiah Rama has been with the team for twenty fifteen.

Speaker 8 (35:14):
He spent ten years as their trainer.

Speaker 20 (35:16):
Like, I don't think medicine has I mean, I'm sure
medicine has evolved a little bit since then. You know,
I'm not a doctor, so I don't want to play
one on the radio, but I'm sure like methods and
ways of doing things something different in those ten years.
And again, maybe a different set of eyes, a different
set of you know, voice, a different voice would help.
But this is not just to fire the trainer and

(35:39):
everything's fixed like they've again, and just in the same way,
like like firing the hitting coaches is not just a
fix like they've this is there's more to it, Like
they've got to evaluate personnel, They've got to evaluate roster construction,
they've got to evaluate processes of return to play things
like that.

Speaker 8 (35:56):
Maybe the strength staff.

Speaker 20 (35:57):
You look at the strength of conditioning kind of what
they're giving these to do in the off season. Like
it's a holistic thing here, that's not just going to
get solved by one or two names to party.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
All right.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
That again was the Channel roam yesterday on the A
Team Ross one of the things I was thinking about,
and I'm sure John I know that the Channel brought
it up as well. You got guys on lame dunk contracts.
Who's going to want to come here for a long
term If your manager and general manager are left on
one year deals. Now they'll be people. But will that

(36:29):
be a hindrance? I would say it may not be
a roadblock, but you're gonna have to navigate some morky
waters here. I mean it would depend. I suppose if
certain players who have relationships with Joe's body that want
to come back or something like that. I mean, I
think the money would talk more than anything. Especially, I
don't know what are we talking about then, possibly wanting

(36:50):
a pitcher? No, no, no, I'm talking about like signing players
or what are you talking about the coaches, bringing coaches
here for a year?

Speaker 18 (36:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Bringing like oh like hitting coaches, strength and condition any trainer.
I mean, I'm not gonna move my family for a
one year deal, because if the manager and the general
manager get replaced, that doesn't mean I'm not guaranteeing any
sort of success. Yeah, well, I don't know how it happened.
How does it happen to other places? Because Alex Cintron
and Troyce Nicker were here for Hinch, Dusty Baker and

(37:17):
Aleck and the Joe Spot. They were here for three
different managers. Now you know you can go ahead and
extend them for long term contract. You give them through
four year days trainer, Yeah, you can give them long
term deal. I would imagine they would be on contracts
and then the train. Jeremi Randall's been here for ten years. Well,
let's say you went and got.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Aaron Boone.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
I'm I'm just thinking that would be But if you
want to go get Aaron Boone poked away. Aaron Boone
hosts people, He's had people around him. He's comfortable with
trainers and hitting coaches and that kind of thing. Yes,
you're gonna want to build your own suff you. I
don't think a new manager, if again Joe gets replaced
after next season, is going to want to inherit the coaching.
If he's gonna want his people behind him. That that's very,
very typical. So I guess the question is going to be,

(37:57):
can you offer somebody hitting coach, coach, bench coach, whatever
gets changed if there's more coming, and say, hey, we'll
pay you well, but i'd run an apartment. You're a
single guy.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yeah, I don't know. I can't really. I mean, I
think I know.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
It's the same exact thing you've seen in college athletics.
You can't if you fire a coach, you know you
bring you you fire coordinators and you've got a head
coach who's only out one year left in his contract
that that could hold him back a little bit. I'm
not saying it's an end all, but I think I
do think it's a factor. I think Ben, if you
had three or four years left. Then Joe Spot could
really dig in and say I want these guys moving

(38:33):
for the long haul. These guys are gonna be fighting
for their jobs next year. So I something to think
about is that, what can you bring? What kind of
candidates are going to come here knowing that the general
manager and the manager are playing or are performing for
their future beyond twenty twenty six? All right, second hour
of the Matt Thomas should Ross is coming up in
a moment seven one three two one two five seven

(38:54):
ninety seven one three two one two five seven eight
I got I'm sorry it's come up at a I've

From Limerick and a good friend of Brian McTaggart.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Oriyan Kirkerling through the name through the ball home. Never
should have done it.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Should have thrown the first base had a better chance
at first and he need a home. Not only does
he throw home, but he throws wide. There's no plate
at the play wouldn't have been a play of the
play anyway the game. This guy would have been safe.
How about this? What did the runner decide? He didn't
want to don't want to slide either. He was like,
I'm going in standing up. Yeah, I had that kind
of foot speed. He was gonna make it easily. Yeah,
and while they're out of the playoffs and the Phillies lose,

Brewers or the Cubs, and I can easily say go Brewers,
Go Cubs. You have no no rooting interest zero. I mean,

Speaker 21 (45:49):
We Hey, nobody got fired.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
We don't use the laid off.

Speaker 9 (45:55):
But I laughed at that.

Speaker 5 (45:58):
Sweet.

Speaker 9 (45:58):
I will say it was sad to see shango.

Speaker 21 (46:00):
When I saw that, I was like, wow, matd just
taking strays for no good reason.

Speaker 10 (46:04):
But I digress.

Speaker 21 (46:07):
I've been to Philly. That is some white trash. So
there's that's horrible up there, dude. Philly is not not great.
I mean, obviously you're gonna get You're gonna get your.

Speaker 9 (46:16):
Batties wherever you go.

Speaker 21 (46:17):
But Matt You've been a lot of places Upper East
Coast which White Trash has.

Speaker 9 (46:25):
The best, the best.

Speaker 21 (46:26):
Women, and second needs your advice. My wife wonders why
I like drinking beer in the garage, and I told
her because it's more fun that way. Our garage beer
is better than living room beers. And I'll hang up,
and I just don't want to.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
I have I I well, I've never taken ahead of
shower beer, but I've had plenty of garage beer.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
Garage beer is spectacular.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
You know why.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Why because it is in your most chill moment. Really,
if you're hanging on the garage, that means you're probably
either working on your car because you're that's your hobby.
Okay you are. Some people have TVs and stuff watching. Yeah,
I got a man cave in the garage, and there
it's gonna be probably a little bit warmer, That's what
I was gonna ask. Then you're than the temperature of

(47:08):
your house, which means that beer is gonna taste extra
really cold and refreshing. All right, what if we throw
in a porch beer. I think porch beer trumps both.
I would agree with that. I don't send in my
porch I can't speak to that, but I would. I
would say porch beer probably is a bet, I would say,
and again, I need a shower beer.

Speaker 3 (47:27):
You know what, can I shower beer in Oklaholm City tonight?
I guess I could. I owe you? I owe you
a shower beer.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Not in front of you, but yeah, no thanks, Garage
the road together, I've seen enough of you. Garage beer
is excellent. It is okay, Oh to the East Coast
really quick and this is very fast. Love Toronto, Love
Toronto one of my favorite places in the world. Expensive,
very expensive, but it's clean, it's the people are nice.

(47:54):
The value, the American dollar value is actually better, so
that helps out a little bit. They have Tim Horton's
every five feet and poutine and poon ting pooting and
poon ting too, pooting pouting.

Speaker 5 (48:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
And the ladies are nice there, if you're into that
kind of thing. Attractive. Yeah, they're not big in sweater words.
I mean, there are some maple leaf fans there, but
they're but they're not like Minnesota girls.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
They're a little smaller. All right.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Back to the East Coast, New York. I mean it's
the world's most incredible city. I wouldn't want to live there.
You have to be obnoxious back to them, as long
as you're rude back to people in New York, except
you you try to be nice, forget it, they're going
to slap you around. A great place, A bit doggy
dog world. Yeah, I like Brooklyn. Brooklyn's got a little
bit of a not a little bit, and a significantly
different vibe than Manhattan does.

Speaker 3 (48:46):
Okay, but I like it. Love Washington, d C. Love
the Georgetown area of d C. That's uh. Or the
campus is.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Not a fan of Philadelphias at all, although I have
a casino downtown, which does help.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Or else.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Charlotte love Charlotte, like Atlanta. How far am I going?
How far west am I going? I think I'm done right.
I don't know what's happening. He asked me about East
Coast City. Yeah, I figure, Yeah, that's it. I'm going
to start complimenting you a I zoned out.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
I noticed that.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
Please let me let me ask you all a huge
favorite when you compliment me, and for that, I will
accept and thank you graciously, thank you.

Speaker 3 (49:26):

Speaker 2 (49:27):
I mean, he's catching my strays off of my straights. God,
I've had to meet like fifty people.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
I just fifty fifty exaggeration. It's probably like five people.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
But you know, scary exaggerated, same thing, you know, if
I well, it turned out to like one of them
blocked me already.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
So we're good.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Uh yeah, I much rather try. I much prefer traveling
West than I do East. Love l A Love, Denver, love, Portland,

O good cities.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
I don't mind Texas too. I go to Dallas and
Santurnio get the rein. They say, miss Texts, you're here

Speaker 3 (50:04):
Nobody calls you mister text.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Yeah they do.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
No, quite a few people do it unless they're doing
it ironically to make fun of you.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
All right, Uh, we're gonna have the audio of the
Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher coming back. Yeah, yeah, we are. I
swear to guy we are all right. Well, if I

Last night, the Eagles lost again to the New York Giants.
That's only two losses now for Philadelphia. Are the Giants
a new football team with uh Jackson Dart. It's a
good name, by the way, that's a good.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
Jason Don Caves Catabou.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Yeah, Jackson Dart and Camps Scatboo should be starting for
Louisiana Lafayette.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Jackson Dart, Camscattaboo, Yeah, sounds about right. It's a camp
Scataboo show here on Lafies.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
Bosleda, Well, he's got a future in broadcasting, but right
now he's a pretty good running back for the New
York Giants. Yeah, all right, So he did his thing
three touchdowns yesterday. My fantasy team is in complete shambles.
Doctor w Orter will come to the rescue at one o'clock. Okay,
looking forward to that. All right, So let's get to
what happened last night in Los Angeles. The Philadelphia Phillies lost

(51:35):
the series, and it was on a bang bang play
to end the contest. Very sad if you're a Philadelphia fan.
Very again, bad day for Philadelphia. There Eagles lost in
New York to a subpar Giants team and the Philadelphia
Phillies were eliminated as Orion or orion orion whatever. Orion
Kirkerling Kirkering, that's two Orion Kirkerling kirk there's no l

(52:00):
in there. There's no cookering on the eleventh inning air
that was rolled in air by the way, really fielder's
choice air, so they know no hit. Yeah, that's probably fair,
I guess because he knocked the ball down, couldn't I
mean it was coming at him hot.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
I think the air may have been on the throw
and the decision and the throw was horrible, but it
wouldn't have been in time. But maybe can you make
a badness it's an air. I guess that's fine.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
So bottom line is this so our cookering? Uh met
with the media after the game. Philadelphia media did travel
to Los Angeles. Yes, and here's what he had to say. Now,
he we had to leap some things out, yes, but
I give him lots of credit for standing up to
all the different microphones.

Speaker 22 (52:50):
Just kind of once that the pressure got to me.
I just thought it was a faster thrower, the JT
little couture thrower that was trying to cross body at
the price.

Speaker 20 (52:56):
So, yeah, did you did you hear them calling telling
you to go to first at all?

Speaker 3 (53:04):
Or were you just in the moment?

Speaker 5 (53:05):
I pig, it wasn't even just in the moment.

Speaker 18 (53:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (53:08):
Can you can you see you pointing in that.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
Moment or is it just kind of looking out, just
kind of looking up?

Speaker 10 (53:12):
Just be ready again.

Speaker 20 (53:14):
Brought me a lot of guys that energy and the
first ones there just one of.

Speaker 22 (53:17):
Those guys say in that one keep your head up,
it's possible, mistake, just it's baseball happens, and she keep
your head up would be good for long time. In
the comments like Paul and just that opportunity to score,
had a.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Conversation a broad to be saying that what is outside
of meaning?

Speaker 22 (53:36):
Are you tell about those guys picking you up so
quick means a lot shows they care a lot everything,
for sure.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
I'm sure a lot of guys.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
In Europe, but moments arealy in their carew that you
know they can kind of remember.

Speaker 8 (53:51):
Very good the league.

Speaker 6 (53:54):
How much do you think you can use this kind
of in the off season to you know, for good.

Speaker 22 (54:01):
For sure, yea the wall with the test wall for sure.
But yeah, just kind of keep going with it. Hopefully
it started a long career. Just keep back in my head,
that's really right now, but hopefully keep pushing once get
over this home.

Speaker 8 (54:17):
Keep pushing.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Well, he's guilty of a potty mouth, but at least
he was answering the questions and he was really very
pretty decent, decent spirit about it. I mean, well, he
looked like he wanted to cry, but hey, ross, and
that's understandable. Sports is cruel, yes they are. I mean,
these are the moments we watch for. Is the type
of drama that gets created. That's why we keep coming back,

(54:43):
crazy moments, things you haven't seen before, everything on the line,
especially in the playoffs. Unfortunately, this was a bad play
made by him rather than a great play made by
someone else.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Yeah, it happens, you know, it's fun.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
We have spent so much time of our life talking
about the catch or the swing or the basket or
these amazing moments, and then you've got other moments like
you know, our Cougar's in that last few seconds against
Florida and San Antonio.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
MM, you brought it up, not me, Well you know
what I.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
Meant, Manuel Sharp passing it to himself because he knew
he couldn't. He was looking to slidestep over. If Emmanuel
Sharp doesn't win a championship of some note in his life,
whether it be you know, in college or pro, you
can be thinking about that for the rest of his life.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Did you watch the movie I want to.

Speaker 2 (55:45):
I want to say it was called The Best of Times.
I could be wrong about that. It's a it's a
late eighties movie. It starred Kurt Russell and Robin Williams.

Speaker 3 (55:56):
Okay, I mean those are two good stars.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
And I haven't seen it though it was at a
movie and how and I'm maybe mixing a little bit
of details up, but I'm pretty sure it was a
movie where it was a high school reunion of a
football team and Kurt Russell was the quarterback and he
throws this perfect ball to Robin Williams. Robin Williams like
five foot four semantics. Okay, he throws the perfect ball

(56:19):
and Robin Williams drops it, cast him a state champions okay,
and he's had to live with this drop for all
of his life, so they had a reunion s type game.
Same situation comes into play, and I think he makes
the ground. Oh okay, he makes the grap man spoilers, Matt,
the movie's thirty five, maybe forty years old.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
Back off. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
It's you know, I hope Kirk Curring, Kirk Curring was
never an asteroid. Help he butchered his name for the
next ten years.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
Part of me is like, I hope you get a
chance to make.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Up for it. But there can be other moment that
a lot of guys don't get to. Yeah, Bill, look
at Bill Buckner had to endure for all those decades
until the Red Sox won the World Series when the
ball went through his legs in eighty six Sports Scroll. Yeah,
Bill Booker is certainly the first one that comes to mind.
I think, now, what about Jackie Smith, Who's the guy

(57:14):
had to be tied into the Cowboys?

Speaker 3 (57:15):
Drop the ball? Drop?

Speaker 21 (57:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (57:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Are people missing? Well, you gotta have not letty define you, Matt.
You gotta be a bigger man. You gotta move on you.
You gotta face these things have you been a fell off.
You have you met their sports fans?

Speaker 3 (57:26):
Yeah, they suck.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
By the way, the Fox twenty six is putting on
that the Red River Shootout.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
It's gonna be ninety at halftime. Yeah, maybe I'm not.

Speaker 2 (57:35):
I'm going to make a decision for you that you
may not be appreciative of, and your brother will may
be mad at me.

Speaker 3 (57:40):
You're not going.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
It's yeah, normally it's not that hot, and you're you're
getting blasted by the sun. So people, I mean people
pass out and stuff. You gotta get sunscreen, you gotta hydrate.
I can't have you do that. Mark in the Heights
on seven houty Hello, Mark.

Speaker 4 (57:56):
Hey, Matt falling up on your you know you and
Ross sound like know where guarden Oaks was yesterday? He
had been, Well, I'm surprised you hadn't been to the
Flying Saucer Pie Company over there.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
You don't what.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
I don't travel for pizza? Maybe we should? Oh it's
pie always in pie pie? Oh I really, what's the
what's the preferred flavor over there?

Speaker 4 (58:21):
Sweet potato or pumpkin? Don't go around Thanksgiving or you'll
be in a line in ninety degree weather and sounds
like Ross wouldn't do it either, So.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
Yeah, well, yeah, you know she's not true.

Speaker 9 (58:30):
Pie pye.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
I'll stand in the heat I've been in. I've been
in games that have been plus ninety degrees. I've been
to the Ou game and it's been around ninety degrees.
Would you like to do it? Would you like me
to give you all a little secret to success of
going to a pie place and getting a great piece
of pie and around the holiday season, Go ahead, Matt,
go to the restaurant and eat and then order a
takeout box.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Additional, does this place have a have a restaurant? I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
I'm just saying that our place, the House of Eyes.
Oh wow, I'll say it's you. I love them. I've
been going there for forty five years. Okay, uh yeah,
you go have a meal there twenty four hour pre
pandemic those at the good time. Yeah, order some steak, fingers, cream, gravy,
of course, salad side dish. But I always go mashed potatoes,

(59:18):
have a slice of pie, and they say, oh god,
this is so good. Kind, I got a box, can
got another pie? Easy peasy waiting outside? Just eat? So
go at lunchtime knock it out, get you a good
meal and an extra piece of pie and an extra pie.
Thank you, Matt. That's what I'm here for. We can
bake it at home. I'm nothing. You can't bake a pie,
no baker Thomas, May them make the pie for you.

(59:39):
I'll up when the good pie comes right at me.
Bet you do. Eleven twenty nine, Brian and Steve Hank Tight.
We're gonna get to your phone calls. Then after that
we're gonna apologize some people. And you have got a
long list of apologies every week. Well what you did
today at nine to fifty, ah, you owe me a
deep apology. It's sports stocks of a night.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
All right, Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
Sorry is coming up in just a moment here on
Sports Talk seven ninety the Matt Thomas Show with Ross
with you until two, Oh Colock, Let's go and get
some quick phone calls though, you guys been holding longest
waiting is Steve on the east side?

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
What's up? Steve? Oh Steve?

Speaker 10 (01:00:22):
Yes, sir?

Speaker 9 (01:00:23):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
Which gay?

Speaker 18 (01:00:24):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (01:00:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:00:25):
I was wondering the the Westwood one guy. Is that
his real voice? Or is that like a digital contrivance,
like an auto tune?

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
That's him. I think he doesn't walk around speaking like that.
He does have a very deep voice. I've actually heard.
I don't know how this happened. It's funny you're bringing
this up, Steve. I've heard he's got like a real
if you go to like his website and yeah, he
does a bunch of voices and he yeah, he talks

(01:00:54):
like that for the most part. It's not, to my knowledge,
is not digital. That's how he sounds.

Speaker 23 (01:01:00):
Wow, okay, because I've always heard, yeah, one card talks.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
A lot exactly.

Speaker 23 (01:01:10):
And and I thought, and I heard somebody had mentioned perhaps, uh, paradings,
trading paradis for a picture, And I didn't know if
that I didn't know if that made sense. I thought,
because he's under like a team controller. He's a couple

(01:01:32):
of years before free agency.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Yes, he is under team control I think for next
year and the year after.

Speaker 9 (01:01:39):
Yeah, and so would that make uh you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:01:43):
Yeah, you'd have to give to get And thank you
Steve for making the call. You'd have to give to
get any Okay, Look, the bottom line is you have Korea, Penia,
Paradis Walker for infield spots, and none of those guys
are really a good fit at second base, so everybody
can be a candid walker most likely, then I would
say Paradis, then probably Karrey and then Penial least likely,

(01:02:05):
but I would say all of them are on the table,
depending on what the offers would be. If the Astros
are going to make an offer, two things going against
Paradis lot four, but two things negatively. One there would
be people that would be kicking the tires and why
he's been moved so much to begin with m And
number two his hamstring fell off the bone. Yeah, that's

(01:02:26):
the most it's a bigger he's gonna he's even gonna
be We haven't heard anything. Is he gonna be ready
for the start of next season? Also this you did
get bone brownie points for trying to come back after
probably surgery would have been the easy result. Did I
mean the hamstering is supposed to be off his bone
and he played great job by the Astros training staff. Well,
the Astros Twitter account said, so thank you for your service.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
Get out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
No, you know it's funny because Channel Rome was the
last hour we played this. Some of the interview, they're like,
maybe we just need to change things up. No, I
think they probably were highly embarrassed. Yeah, oh, you're talking
about the reason why I played Jeremiah Randay. Yeah, I
think there were some There were some mishandlings will that
we will never know, but we could logically think there
were some things that were mishandled. Paratus has not played

(01:03:12):
second base since twenty twenty three? How many games? Fourteen?
I'm not doing that, forty three and twenty twenty two.
I'm gonna trade. I'm gonna trade for.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
Oh yeah, continue on. Yeah, I can't see him playing
second base.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
I don't think so either, but if I could, I mean,
I could see a scenario. He's the most likely Canada
of the four unless you're putting Kara at shortened Pini
at second, which I don't think you're gonna do that,
or Karay at second and Paratus at third. But Karray
is great at third base. The hotcore is a more
premium defensive position than second base.

Speaker 8 (01:03:51):
All Right.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
I don't want to connect the dots here because this
is this is probably not even a ten percent possibility,
but I wouldn't say it's zero. What if they have
lung What if they have serious negotiations about Jeremy Payana
in the off season and they don't go anywhere. Yeah,
and they hit roadblocks and they say, you know what,
we can't We got a big haul for for Kyle Tucker.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
We'll see what we.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
Can get for Jeremy Penney and capitalize on a career
year at the P and put parades back at third.
We've created a short stop. I'm just saying, I'm just
I don't think that's because I don't think wants to
go to short No. I think I think he knows
the best way for guys his age. With that much
lever experience and how much Tommy's played, that the decision
for most guys can go to their base is an

(01:04:33):
easy one. How major league ready do they feel Bryce
Matthews is going to be after spring comes?

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
Spring training?

Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
You need Bryce Matthews because you do not want jose
L Tuba playing a lot of second base for the
foreseeable future, or where's he gonna play. He's one of
the worst left fielders in baseball, one of the worst
second basement in baseball, and your DH spot is taken.

Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
These are conundrums.

Speaker 8 (01:04:59):
I know.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
That's why Dana Brown's making the big bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
And that's why Dana Brown gets to keep his job
for one more year, and we'll see how he does.
I can't wait for him to see how he carves
us up.

Speaker 8 (01:05:07):
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
I don't think Dana's hand a bad job.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
I'm very curious because you could see him going a
variety of different directions on this, You really could. I
think they wouldn't mind moving Christian Walker. But what kind
of market is there for that for exactly who's on
his down part of his career. Yeah, it's no coincidence.
The order I'd listed it and the most likely there
to get traded would also the order of least desirability

(01:05:31):
to other teams. Remember, just because you don't remember, you
don't like him, doesn't mean other teams are like, oh,
I can't wait to get Christian Walker. My line twenty
seven home runs, nothing to sneeze at ops significantly down though. Yes,
Brian on seven ninety Brian, what do you got today?

Speaker 5 (01:05:46):
Hey?

Speaker 8 (01:05:47):
Guys?

Speaker 9 (01:05:47):
Real quick?

Speaker 24 (01:05:48):
On the o'rian guy for the Phillies and one of
the reporter questions, So I'm asking you guys, you guys
here where the guy was like the reporter was struggling
to talk and ask this question about how.

Speaker 9 (01:05:59):
Can you help use.

Speaker 3 (01:06:01):
Yes, it was a bad question.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
It was a bad question, and I think halfway through it,
Brian the guy knows like this is a dumb question
about that.

Speaker 24 (01:06:09):
Yeah, okay, okay, I'm really glad that you guys agree
with me because I thought it was a dumb ask question.
Because I think about it from a baseball perspective, there's
one thing to be said about Okay, Yeah, you can
go work on your pfps in spring training, the off season,
throughout the week during the season. One thing you can't
replicate is being in Chavez Ravine with Dodger Stadium, you know,

(01:06:30):
packed and people screaming at you, bottom of the eleventh inning,
bases loaded, your season on the line, and then you
get a ball hits you.

Speaker 9 (01:06:37):
You can't replicate that in practice.

Speaker 24 (01:06:39):
So for that reporter to stand there and be like, oh,
how are you gonna use this for in the off season?

Speaker 18 (01:06:45):
For good?

Speaker 24 (01:06:46):
I thought it was as bad as Mark Berman's question, Hey,
how does it feel to have your family.

Speaker 18 (01:06:51):
In the stands tonight? No?

Speaker 10 (01:06:58):
No, not a good tray.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
That was fine. What are your emotions? Are those questions?

Speaker 5 (01:07:08):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:07:09):
For like coaches that run really successful like twelve thirteen
fourteen year old teams.

Speaker 24 (01:07:14):
Hey, I'm just I'm just gonna let you guys know,
we're seventeen and oh, patter's a lead for eleven U
or seventeen and oh.

Speaker 18 (01:07:20):
For the fall.

Speaker 24 (01:07:23):
I'm just saying, we just we just won one of
the biggest tournaments of the fall, beat a nationally ranked
team because we're also nasty ranked. I'm not telling it's
not me though, it's these kids. These kids are way
too good, man, way too good. And then, really, on
a serious note, though, I was in that clubhouse after
the Astros lost in Game seven in the World Series
at home when Will Harris gave up the home run

(01:07:44):
off the foul pole. He cried. I still have the
audio on my phone, he cried to the media because
of the emotional I feel bad for the O'Ryan kidd,
I really do. But man, that was a dumb ass question.

Speaker 18 (01:07:54):
When'd y'all shut y'all's bump ass up?

Speaker 24 (01:07:56):
I don't really tune into you guys very much.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Yes, wait, come on Wensday eleven thirty. You're not that busy.
I've seen your payer, I've seen your back account. You're
not that busy.

Speaker 24 (01:08:05):

Speaker 2 (01:08:41):
Yesterday we had a caller Cameron, and it was for

go with you. And then I was like, hey, are
you a fan of a team and he said Cougars

as you don't know big time football, you know if
that was rude? Wait a minute, did somebody call you
out on that back to you to make you say
that after the show you thought, yeah, that was rude.

(01:09:03):
Waiting you crush my Cougars all the time in front
of me, and you have apologize you, but to do
it to a collar is a different thing. Cameron, and I
appreciate you listening, thank you for calling in and participating.
And I know you probably took it lighthearted because that's
how it was, man, but that is very rude.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
I'd like to apologize. Sorry, Cameron. Sorry, say you're sorry
to me. Now, Okay, I got another apology.

Speaker 8 (01:09:25):

Speaker 3 (01:09:42):
I don't know what I'm good, So everybody's freaking out

a white Sox hat and oh.

Speaker 3 (01:09:54):
My god, he the discheam beat him in the World Series.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
It was clearly sarcastic in a reference to something else.
And then this guy called me. Uh, he said, why
are you acting like a woman? He's very yeah, that's
not nice, And I was like, okay, well, clearly you
don't have the brain power to pick up on sarcasm.

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
I tweeted that at him.

Speaker 2 (01:10:14):
Ooh, and you know what that was rude. I muted
him afterwards, and I don't know what he said because
I liked I like to do the little throw the
grenade and leave now. On Twitter, that's my go to move.
I respond to somebody and then I mute him so
I never see their response because I'm out. Oh see,
when I go after people on Twitter, like I've done
this morning, I wait for their response back because no,
it's it's something I don't need to stress over because

(01:10:34):
there's there's too much negativity. So I said, you don't
have the brain power to pick up scarry sarcasm. It's
truly not your fault, but please stay off our streets.

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
As much as possible. And you know what, that was rude.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
Sarcasm can be hard to pick up over texts, you
can be But also he didn't have to personally attack me.
So maybe I'm not that sorry, but I'm a little sorry.
But yeah, that was Raw's all right. Now you gotta
apologize for something. Let's go when we come back, so
you owe me an apology. I want to wait, and
you're making me wait two way two long seven one

to apologize to somebody, seven one, three, two, one, two, five, seven,
eleven forty four on Sports Talk seven Euttie, here we go?
Is the coast clear in the office. Don't mention names,
just keep really really brief. Well, I think you would
want to lay out the scenario. Then I'll apologize, all right,

(01:11:29):
I'll leave it up very briefly. Sometimes when you have
people at workay, everybody has somebody at work. Every want
to yes that you don't want to run into in
the hallways because they're going to trip you up with
a bunch of small talk. And you don't want a
small talk, especially when you're trying to get ready for
a show. Yes, And Matt was in a room and

(01:11:49):
you're kind of held captive, And I noticed this person
standing in the doorway talking to Matt, wearing me out
with oh I know it, okay, okay. And so rather
than normally I walk in, put down my stuff, and
then I go make my morning oatmeal.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
Ninety nine days out of.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
One hundred, he comes in the office, first drops his
stuff off, and then goes and makes his oatmeal.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Today was it for today? Today?

Speaker 2 (01:12:17):
I look up and I'm like, oh, I don't want
to be a part of that. So I went to
go make I mean, I went to go make my
oat meal. I have a little instant oatmeal as a
snack usually started the show before the show. So rather
than put my stuff down and getting involved in that mess,
and Matt saw me, I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
You saw me. I went to go make my own meal.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Then I came back, and then I knew you saw
me the second time I did it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:47):
I knew you saw me, and I was messing with
you this second time.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
So as this conversation was taking place that I was
listening and being polite, because that's what I am, mister polite. Yes,
I was text seeing for the love of God, Ross
get in here. Before I could hit send, I saw
Ross walking back ear to ear smiling.

Speaker 3 (01:13:08):
I said, hair, Ross, come in here, what's going on?

Speaker 19 (01:13:15):
That time?

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
I was going to come in there.

Speaker 2 (01:13:17):
I was just messing with you, and you go, hay Ross,
come on in here. And then the person shoot away.
You know, and that person is a really nice person. Yes,
but they just talked too much. Yes, that's it. And
you hung me and you hung me out to dry.
I hung you out to dry, Mat, I'm sorry, And

(01:13:37):
I still sent you two non Flora stories yesterday too. Seriously,
I mean, forgive me. I hung you out to dry, Matt. Sorry,
that's actually so funny.

Speaker 9 (01:13:47):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
And the thing is is I I am at the office.
We have several employees like that, coworkers of ours. I
always put my phone up in the air for one
of our people, and if and my my phone up
and if that person nods at me, I call them
to get them out of that conversation. So from now on,
if I raised my phone, im like I'm stretching my

(01:14:10):
arms out.

Speaker 3 (01:14:10):
I mean, okay, all right, now, I know I you
are such a dirty dog.

Speaker 2 (01:14:16):
You went right to go get your oatmeal instead of
doing what you normally do every single day of the week.
Wouldn't really saved you. I just was gonna put my
stuff down and come back. You were selfish because you
know what, We're stuck in the conversation as well.

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
You're right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You should be.

Speaker 5 (01:14:33):
I am.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
I am I from the bottom of my heart.

Speaker 2 (01:14:36):
And thankfully I will accept your apology from the bottom
of my cold, dead heart. And you know it's cold
And I'm sorry, Scott, what are you apologizing for?

Speaker 15 (01:14:44):
Matt Ross was going on guys.

Speaker 9 (01:14:45):
Right, I got two apologies.

Speaker 15 (01:14:47):
First one is to the first one is to the textans.
I want to say I'm sorry last week I called
called into you guys and said the key to the
game was running the ball and playing field position. So
I'm sorry for not giving them the benef bit of
a doubt that they would be able to handle the
Ravens the way they did. I mean them boys.

Speaker 9 (01:15:04):
Went forward on fourth down up twenty six.

Speaker 15 (01:15:07):
They beat the brakes off the Ravens four touchdowns, So
I'm sorry for not believing in them passing it. And
number two, I want to apologize to my bookie. I
potentially ended his career last night taking the Giants money live.
So I think home Underdogs on Thursday night maybe might
be the best betting spot in all the sports.

Speaker 3 (01:15:26):
All right, sorry, time, I don't want congratulations.

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
Okay, since you said bookie not I, this legally takes
us out of the conversation here, Scott, would you like
to what would you like to brag how much money
you put down on the game with your bookie that
we don't endorse.

Speaker 15 (01:15:41):
Yeah, no, okay, I am actually didn't put that much
money in the game.

Speaker 21 (01:15:44):
I only put one hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
Okay, yeah, yeah, okay, So it was basically the.

Speaker 15 (01:15:51):
Point of the call is the humble brat that I
put the giants money last money.

Speaker 2 (01:15:55):
That's so you're really not apologizing. You know, you don't
feel bad for the bookie at all, do you?

Speaker 9 (01:15:59):
Oh my goodness, not at all.

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
He doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
He doesn't call this show and apologize for your bad mistakes.

Speaker 9 (01:16:04):
And and he's definitely up on me last time. There's
no doubt about that one.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
So all right, thank you very much Scott for that.
I got a quick question for you. You know, I
happen to know bookies. It is what it is. I
don't bet on sports myself, hmm. I only do it
legally with you when we go to Charles Vegas. Of course,
the rule that my buddy has is it's plus or
minus five hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
You guys have a gentleman. You settle up.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
What do you do if it's like I'm not paying you?
You gotta break some knees, which used to happen in
college all the time. People would one kid would be
the bookmaker, usually the rich kid.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
Yeah, and then people sometimes you just wouldn't pay.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
So you're gonna go hire somebody and pay them several
hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
Not normally.

Speaker 2 (01:16:50):
Normally you just say that person's a scumbag and you
stop being friends with them. Okay, if it's a monkey,
if it's a circle of friends, I think that it's
very serious.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
But there are serious bookies out there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
They're probably listening to the show right now. I mean serious.
That's how they make their living in their life is
being a bookie. And maybe they find people they can
trust or people they prefer I don't know, or maybe
they make them to put it in a deposit. Well
you know what, I I've got a suggestion, but I
don't want to mention it because I don't want to
be like, man, what was wrong with you?

Speaker 3 (01:17:24):
I would just deposit it. Yeah, Like first of all,
because like.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
If you're going, if you're loading up in drafting sportsbook,
you deposit money in there.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
They don't let you put you on your honor.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Yeah, I would, no more, it's twenty twenty five, no honor,
No honor bets because you're not gonna go pay somebody
one thousand dollars. Go break some legs, right, good making
money folks and make it so.

Speaker 3 (01:17:46):
I got people in mind. Would you do it? No,
I wouldn't break anybody's legs.

Speaker 5 (01:17:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
I'm a lover, not a fighter. Thank you, Tom, Thank
you Tom. What's who are you apologizing to this week?

Speaker 5 (01:17:55):

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):

All right, continue to come, all right.

Speaker 7 (01:18:08):
So our friend Bill called me and asked me to
meet him up for lunch, and I said, hey, I'd
love to go, but I've acted on the way to
court because Melissa is getting married.

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
Today and I gotta go do that.

Speaker 9 (01:18:22):
And he's like, she's getting married and.

Speaker 7 (01:18:24):
I was like, yeah, it's kind of a shotgun wedding.
And he's like, oh okay, cool. He's like, well another time,
and then like later on to during the day, he
like sends her this weird message about how it's abomination
to God and all this business.

Speaker 2 (01:18:40):
So sorry I'm missing out.

Speaker 25 (01:18:44):
He's election about getting pregnant, but where she got married,
Oh okay, okay, yeah, and so yeah, so it's collateral
damage he mentioned the shotgun wedding. Yeah, and so then
she got preached at by the by the friend. No, no, no, huge, yeah,
you know it's a dry snitch, Tom, So you're apologizing for.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
A dry snitch.

Speaker 8 (01:19:04):

Good Morning Stars.

Speaker 19 (01:20:23):
This is about Thomas showing Ross sports socks seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
Oh yeah, we are down.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
The home stretch at twelve oh six on the Mot
Thomas showing Ross and as we do each and every
day at this time around that time, we present to
you the main headlines of the world of sports.

Speaker 3 (01:20:51):
And with that we go to sports RV for the news.

Speaker 2 (01:20:54):
AD means, yes, Matthew, so much stuff to get to
the athlete's at nude. Here on Sports Talk seven ninety
you have the Dodgers defeating the Phillies in eleven innings,
Matt's favorite relief pitcher, O Ryan Kerkering committing an era
at the end of that game in eleven innings. Dodgers

(01:21:16):
win the game two to one. That they win the
series three to one and are headed to the National
League Championship Series.

Speaker 3 (01:21:24):
How about those mighty Cubs.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
With the swinging Kyle Tucker. A couple of hits for him,
including a home run. He also had a couple of
walks ops in the postseason. Is well over eight hundred
now at this point for Kyle Tucker, who's had a
couple of good games. A must win Game five coming up.
It's the Brewers versus the Cubs in Milwaukee on Saturday

(01:21:49):
Tonights game number five, the Detroit Tigers taking on the
Seattle Mariners. Trek Scooble the Detroit Tigers ace is on
the hill to face George Kirby. Vegas has this one
tabbed with the Tigers that favorite at a minus one
twenty Seattle Mariners even money. Hey, Trek Scoble goes on
the road wins games. We've seen it firsthand, unfortunately, and

(01:22:10):
we had the uh we had an instapole early. We
had eleven people bowed on the instapule. Ten we're saying
go Tigers, and one said Mariners.

Speaker 9 (01:22:20):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:22:20):
Also in the news at noon, are the Giants gonna
be good now? They lost to the Saints last week, so,
I mean, it's not like Jackson Dart and camp Scataboo
were great, but they beat the Eagles at home thirty
four to seventeen. Three rushing touchdowns for camps Scataboo. He
also ended up with nineteen carries for ninety eight yards.

(01:22:43):
He had a couple of catches for twelve yards as well.
Even with Molik Neighbors down, Jackson Dart and the New
York Giants getting it done. Do we have to put
the Philadelphia Eagles on pretender status, matt They barely beat
the Cowboys in the opening week. Close one against the
Chiefs was a win, should have lost against the Rams,

(01:23:03):
and now they've lost two straight. The NFC is wide open.
I could make an argument for Tampa. I could make
an argument for Detroit. I can make an argument for
Green Bay. I'm gonna write down and give you who
don't even predict the When the NFC the show, I
don't remember. Was it Philadelphia? I think we both at Philadelphia.
Maybe I want to say yes, I think Detroit's playing

(01:23:24):
the best football right in the NFC.

Speaker 3 (01:23:25):
Oh you mean the NFC.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
You said NFC East or period period? I could go
look that up. I can't remember what I had.

Speaker 3 (01:23:31):
I think I had Filedolphia.

Speaker 2 (01:23:32):
I think I had the Ravens at the Super Bowl. Yeah,
that's gonna happen. And they were betting favorites your team,
Lamar Jackson. I like Lamar Jackson, the two time MVP,
the guy who had like forty touchdowns and two picks
last year. Yeah, he's pretty good. Got an East like
parades a hamstringer right now, But to fall up the
bones not great, and that that team might not make
the playoffs. But anyways, elsewhere, Matt some sad news to

(01:23:54):
report beloved Loyola Chicago chaplain's sister Jean has passed away
at the ripe old age of one hundred and six.
Sister Jean Delores Schmidt, the folk hero of course during
the Cinderella run for Loyo, She'll cut Loyola Chicago to

(01:24:14):
the Final four in twenty eighteen, passed away peacefully at
the age of one hundred and six.

Speaker 3 (01:24:22):
One. If I gave you the chance at one oh six,
would you take it?

Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
Cheer? Why not see people argue with me about they
would want it, because if they're thinking ninety to one
oh six is pretty miserable.

Speaker 3 (01:24:33):
She looked she was chilling. She was in the hunter.
She looking fine. She had a good seat for the game.
He was looking fine.

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
No, you know what I mean. She will look fine,
you know, like you'd get around her team out to
the final four. Good for hair.

Speaker 5 (01:24:48):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
I'm gonna go ahead and say I'll take one oh six. Cheerwina.

Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
I'm not gonna turn you down. Remember that one oh
six and say sixty. But that way creeping up on
that stop, I don't even wakes me.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
Out when you talk like that, What, Matt, We're all
gonna die, Yeah, but I don't want to die at sixty.

Speaker 3 (01:25:08):
I know, Matt.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
We all have to go sometimes, So just live your
life to the fullest. Thanks and live, laugh and love.
Yes as well, you know, Jonathan, I should be more arrogant.
That's pretty good. Also in the news, Lane Johnson, Philadelphia
Eagles right tackle calling out his own team, saying the
offense needs to be quote less predictable. There have been

(01:25:33):
a lot of Twitter film officionados calling them predictable, saying
depending on where Sakuon Barkley is lining up, they could
tell if it's a runner pass. Perhaps a little bit
too predictable for the Eagles offense the last several weeks.
I mean, I think they're under their fifth offensive coordinator
or fifth play caller in five years over there, because
guys keep getting either fired or hired away to be
head coaches elsewhere. So Lane Johnson calling out his own offense,

(01:25:58):
it seems a lot harder than it needs to be,
maybe more for maybe moving forward, just have a little
bit more variety and hitting the perimeter some Well, you
know what, we got our own issues here in town.
Let them worry about their on it. I have no
opinion that fair or foul Lane Johnson. I mean he's
a great right tackle, fair calling out his own offensive.

Speaker 3 (01:26:20):
When you when you have as good as he's been,
you can do that.

Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
Yeah, if you are Arianta Ersrie doing getting your spot
and shut up. Yeah that's true, rookie. Yeah all right,
Lebron James. Oh yes, Matt he got the sciatica.

Speaker 3 (01:26:36):
He's going to be.

Speaker 2 (01:26:36):
Out at least a month to start the season, three
to four weeks, set to miss the Lakers season opener.
This sounds like an old man injury. I got the
sciatica about four weeks. Meanwhile, all these new TV networks
in their new TV deals are like, scram want to
put other games on?

Speaker 3 (01:26:52):
Yeah, well, Luca's still gonna be there. It's still a draw.
It's true.

Speaker 5 (01:26:57):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
And they're on their on opening night as well. I
think it's Golden States right after the Rockets and the Thunder. Yes,
Golden State Warriors, and that will be where's that game?
Is that game in La?

Speaker 3 (01:27:09):
I think it's in La. Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:12):
I have one non really newsy thing, but it's just
under the category from yesterday's second what we call I
I just don't get on. I brought this up pe
weeks ago, and I don't get the bananas, the Savannah bananas.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
I just don't. Yeah, but it teach his own. I
mean there's all things. Oh, you guys don't look fun.
It's for children. I'm not a child. Yeah, in that respect.

Speaker 2 (01:27:29):
They announced yesterday they're playing at eight excuse me, five
nine more stadiums this year coming up. They are doing
dyk In Park right, a couple of games there, or
they were they did among the new ones.

Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
You're right.

Speaker 2 (01:27:43):
I think they're going diking or Constellation or something they're doing.
They're staying out here. They're going to dope Campbell Stadium,
the Superdome, Keenan Stadium, Wow, Kyle Field, Wow, Neyland Stadium,
Memorial Stadium, Altson Stadium, Kinnick Stadium, and Jilotte Stadium. What
all those haven't Those are all exclusively football stadiums. So
you're gonna have left field like four to seventy five

(01:28:07):
from home plate and rightfield will be one eighty six.
It'll be dis jointed, like a bad maze or something.
For a baseball field. It's a it's a bit. So
you make make you put bits in football stadiums. Yeah,
I guess good for them. I won't be there, and
I won't be there. Are people that lose their mind
over Savannah banana stuff. I'll tell you what I will
be watching. Pick a side Matt Old Dominion or Vanilla Villanova?

(01:28:29):
Field hockey? Who you got?

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
You get some volleyball on or something? And it was
field hockey. Let's go pick us on? Hurry up? Uh Villanova?
All right, let's go Old Dominion.

Speaker 2 (01:28:37):
All right, And that, my friends, is the news at
noon seven one. Oh, we have ladies lacrosse. No, it's
field hockey. Oh okay, you got Villanova? You said, yes,
all right, Old Dominion for life.

Speaker 8 (01:28:50):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (01:28:51):
I'm gonna go peep you Updated East over What is
Old Dominion? I some belt?

Speaker 8 (01:28:56):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:28:56):
No, no, they work, Yeah, I think they're so I'm
gonna moving up.

Speaker 19 (01:28:59):
A little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:28:59):
No clue, I've never done I play a field hockey.

Speaker 2 (01:29:02):
Before these girls are locked in, she looks mean, and
then I mean they're physically fit.

Speaker 3 (01:29:08):
Okay, that's that's enough. I just said physically fit. That's
all I said. You gotta be physically fit to pay
hockey right, A lot of running feels like field hockey's
bad for your back.

Speaker 2 (01:29:17):
Yeah, I always hunched over, and yeah, you don't want
the ladies hunched over. Seven one three two one two
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five
seven ninety I have to tell you've got one day left.
If you made your fantasy football advice, you're gonna get
it from doctor Rode at one o'clock here on Sports
Talk seven Natty, we've got non Florida stories at one

(01:29:39):
thirty today. I have sent Ross a couple of stories.
I've sent Jonathan a couple, so thank you man. We
locked it loaded with some great non Florida stories. It's
gonna be entertaining, folks, and they're all disturbing.

Speaker 3 (01:29:52):
Yeah, that's why I might not use those. Well, it's
again anything you don't use send the Jonathan is Jonathan
ain't scared to read stories? Okay, se three scared, ain't skeered?

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Uh okay, uh oh you Texas really quick FuG of
the phones.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
Yes, John Materier, listen is questionable. This is questionable. It's
a wrist, right, am I right? Our wrist of hand.

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
We had a hand curt he had hand surgery three
weeks ago. Okay, I'm not a doctor, but I'm gonna
play on the radio. You've had a hand surgery three
weeks ago, and you're gonna maybe play against the University
of Texas and the huge rivalry game is a cotton Bowl?
Can't you save yourself for? Like, I don't know, South Carolina.
They're five and oh number six in the country.

Speaker 3 (01:30:37):
Is it a must win game?

Speaker 10 (01:30:40):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
Put it this way, it's a must win game. If
you want to go to play play for a playoff game. Yeah,
you can't. If you're text you can't lose no more
of this word, you're sure, right?

Speaker 3 (01:30:47):
I mean I would.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
Imagine not competitive this one, and then went out with
a win at Georgia and home versus Vanderbilt, and home
versus A and M.

Speaker 3 (01:30:55):
Maybe they could sneak in.

Speaker 2 (01:30:58):
Well, then the question is going to be do you
take a three lost Texas over a one loss A
and M if they were fighting for one spot. No,
that wouldn't be their first loss. I wouldn't think, right,
I mean, I don't know. I guess we'll see what happens.
Who knows it's an important game because it's there, It's
the big number one rival for okay, the Texas Longhorn.
So split down, man, I keep seeing these pitchers. Oh,

(01:31:19):
use line is better offensive and defensive line? Is Texas
is better than Texas? Correct not according to PFF grades,
but also the Texas has an easier schedule, So okay,
depends on what you want to take that. I don't
know how about. And again I don't know. It's basically
a toss up game right now. Oh, he's favored by
one and a half. I haven't deep dived this at all,
not that I ever would, But point being is that

(01:31:42):
Texas is, it's on the edge. It's got no little
room for air. Can't desperation with really good athletes overcome
some things. Can Arch be just sick and tired of
hearing about how he sucks and he's the worst thing
ever to play in college football? Yeah, we'll just ball
out for going to make his arm stronger. It's that

(01:32:02):
gonna make him a more accurate thrower. Did his arm
get gimpy when he got to Austin? I mean, was
was arm strengthen issue going in? If you're the phenom,
you're the number one quarterback in the country, you can't
have arm strength issues. You just can't did did Did
we misinterpret his arm? Uh? I guess so? Arm strength
hasn't looked great. He's throw a lot of dead ducks

(01:32:23):
out there. It's quite frankly, looking a lot like quinn yours,
which is gonna then ask the question, is there really
something wrong with him? Because, as I've said before, if
I was to go look two years ago at every
scouting report, if you're the number one quarterback in the country,
the term decent arm is not a part of the conversation.
Doesn't have to be a rocket, but it doesn't have

(01:32:46):
to be guy can barely throw.

Speaker 3 (01:32:47):
I don't know, shoulder wrapped at the Florida game? Is
that what they said?

Speaker 10 (01:32:51):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:32:51):
Like, I'm pretty sure he had like athletic tape wrapped
around his right shoulder.

Speaker 3 (01:32:54):
That's not antypical for quarterbacks. So okay, okay, No, it
doesn't mean he's.

Speaker 2 (01:32:58):
Not hurt though, because if he's hurt, then go get fixed. Well,
maybe it's something he's trying to play through. Didn't Quinn
Ewers played through his shoulder injury all of last year?

Speaker 18 (01:33:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:33:09):
Because he got the beat down against the Cougars and
had spent twelve months time.

Speaker 3 (01:33:12):
Yeah he did.

Speaker 2 (01:33:13):
They're probably taking cheap shots now, it's not true. They
were all legal heads. Thank you for asking go for
the knees. Yeah, cheap shotters.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
Mm. We played it.

Speaker 2 (01:33:21):
We played clean and right by the book, especially now
with Willie. Yeah, he played. He had a torn obleak
since week two, did quin yours, so he played through
it because he was he was fighting for his playing time.
He had a guy named arch Manning behind him. He
was like, I don't want to give it up. He
had a torn o bleak and wasn't very good and
couldn't get passed by arch Manning. Yikes. Yeh, all right,

(01:33:50):
let's move on now. I'm depressed, all right. Uh beats
Oklahoma State given get in prices down to two forty three,
you're still looking at hundred dollars for the trip. Probably
now if you got a sugar mama, or you got
a sugar brother, sugar brother ray, if you're listen, somebody did.

Speaker 3 (01:34:08):
Somebody did hook up the rocketics.

Speaker 2 (01:34:10):
These these are three ninety seven the middle of the
This is actually not bad.

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
You can't shake this thought of going.

Speaker 2 (01:34:18):
I'm just gonna tell you, folks, I heard I don't
know how to explain it. The the energy and the
atmosphere is completely unmatched going to that game. If you
went to that game, you will see why I call
oh you Texas biggest rival, and why many people who
go to that game and and are Texas fans and

(01:34:39):
especially not you know, maybe they're in the eighties, in
the nineties it was Texas A and M. But it's
just you can't beat that game, being in the State Fair,
being the fifty to fifty split, the energy, the atmosphere
that game, it's just it's addictive.

Speaker 9 (01:34:55):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
I would say this, and again, I'm not going to.

Speaker 2 (01:34:58):
Tell you how to fanboy, because you do it very
very well and you do go to events and I'm
proud of you for that. If the game was in Houston,
I would say absolute, one hundred percent go, But you're
having to You're gonna spend all that time getting up there,
getting back, and then they get and then they lose
like twenty seven to three, and it's not like you've
not gone back. That's a risk, baby, it's all part
of the risk. I was there when they won forty
nine to zero, and.

Speaker 3 (01:35:19):
That was so amazing. It was awesome. That'll be on
my deathbed thinking about how great that was two thirty
Saturday afternoon. You're at your house.

Speaker 2 (01:35:27):
No, they'll be in a local watering hole, okay water
with the family. Spending four percent of what you're spending.
I know, but you can't beat the atmosphere. That's like saying,
why don't you just watch a concert and couch. I
will do that now. I love Paul McCartney. I've seen
him five teens.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
I'm done.

Speaker 18 (01:35:43):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
Yeah, that's because all your heroes are in their nineties.
But I'm talking about like, you've spent that money and
you've gone, and those are memories you cherish, right.

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
I will say, can I? Then this is the gods
honest truth.

Speaker 2 (01:35:55):
I cherish every moment of the of the going to
the sanatorio for the Final four, even though we los. Yes,
if they go to the final four this year, I'm
not going. I understand it was so much that I
that I'd be sick to my stomach. See, but I
can take that chance, I know because I look. It
took me an incredible travel trip. I got sick right
after the game. It's just and we lost. It was

(01:36:18):
nothing pleasurable about it. I mean singing Texas fight after
a big touchdown, high five and a bunch of strangers,
and then the Texas fight chance back and forth. Just
it just gives you goosebumps. I just love it. I
just love Longhorn football. It's a fault of mine.

Speaker 3 (01:36:33):
Met. This isn't the year ago. It's a tussoup.

Speaker 18 (01:36:38):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
I've been when they've been underdogs. They're four and one
when I go, they need me, I've been five times.

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
By the way, Old Dominion and Villanover are tied at one.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
Yeah, baby, let's go, baby, Let's go with the Old
Dominion Monarchs.

Speaker 3 (01:36:50):
Is this the Monarchs? Is this live? I think so?

Speaker 18 (01:36:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:52):
I don't see the live tag anywhere. Oh, it's a
because if it's not. If it's not, lie, we're gonna
be really stupid. That's fine, you can for it doesn't matter.
I'm gonna go see if it's lost song as. I
don't know the result we got what are we? You
had a dollar on this?

Speaker 9 (01:37:05):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
Uh oh, what happened to We bet a bag of
chips on a baseball game. I don't remember who won.

presidents of the band fam phone Club Fan. I don't
think it was off our phone, okay, but who knows?

Speaker 8 (01:40:23):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
Seven one three, five, seven nine, If you want to
get into anything goes Friday here? You want to talk
about the Phillies game last night? I want to talk
about Kyle Tucker's big game with two big hits, including
a home run for the Cubs they beat the Milwaukee Brewers,
and the game five. If you want to get into
Cam Skataboo and Jackson Dart and the rest of the
New York Giants as they beat the Philadelphia Eagles. Uh,

(01:40:47):
can I ask a really stupid question?

Speaker 3 (01:40:49):
Yes, this is a This is among the dumbest things
I've ever asked.

Speaker 10 (01:40:53):
All.

Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
I love this show.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
So every week Kirk Herbstreet on his Twitter account tells
us where he's going.

Speaker 3 (01:40:59):
Uh huh, Okay, he is going.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
He last night left from his house in Nashville or
the night before, and flew to New York to call
the Philadelphia Giants game on Amazon with Al Michaels. I
believe game day is in Eugene, Oregon. I'm not one
hundred percent sure of that, but I'm pretty sure of that. Okay,
So he's gonna get on his private plane and fly

(01:41:24):
from New York to Eugene, Yes, Oregon, Indiana in Eugene, correct, Yes, Okay,
he's gonna have to leave his game day early because
he's doing the you Texas game at two thirty. Okay,
all right, So I'm going to assume there's going to
be a pitstop for gas from New York to Eugene. Okay,

(01:41:50):
but even if there isn't you know he brings his
dog with him. Yes, the dog's gonna go to the bathroom.
Mm hmm, poor dog. Where does dog pee on the plane?
I mean, I'm asking you can lay down one of
those wi wi mats. But what if he doesn't want
a we wi Oh yeah, well then he can. He

(01:42:14):
can do some there too.

Speaker 5 (01:42:16):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (01:42:16):
What's that? And you wrap it up?

Speaker 5 (01:42:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:42:18):
So you think that's what he's doing.

Speaker 2 (01:42:19):
Do you mean people bring that You can buy these
little like uh, they're basically like turf mats.

Speaker 3 (01:42:25):
Because I wouldn't imagine I imagine that's what he does.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
I can't imagine he'd want to go from say, New
York to Eugene stop in the middle of the Midwest
somewhere so the dog can can go on the runway
at a local airport at three o'clock in the morning
and do his business. Yeah, they have potty training mats,
get him for about thirty bucks. Oh that's not so
you're telling me this is you pet the one on
shine for eight bucks. Not everything has to be economical,

(01:42:52):
And I think that that probably Kirk can afford it.
But Dafred, I maybe I'm clearly it's the dumbest thing
I've asked you in a long time. Is how is
the poor dog who travels with them all over the place? Yeah,
his emotional support dog?

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
Is that what he is?

Speaker 23 (01:43:06):
Really?

Speaker 2 (01:43:07):
It seems like it feels you think so, Yeah, do
you have a wife and kids?

Speaker 3 (01:43:12):
How do they feel about all this?

Speaker 18 (01:43:14):
This?

Speaker 3 (01:43:15):
Dogs get more shine than us.

Speaker 2 (01:43:16):
I mean the dog is first one more pipular than
any member of the curbs in front of him died,
and then he just went next man up to the
next dog.

Speaker 3 (01:43:22):
The other.

Speaker 2 (01:43:23):
And then the dog gets better air float accommodations than
most of us as Americans did.

Speaker 3 (01:43:27):
It's true that.

Speaker 2 (01:43:29):
Dog have a rapid rewards account. You don't know that
you don't need ficking fire miles now racking up points. Now,
I'll say this, if you are buying the jet the
private you may get points on your private jet company.

Speaker 3 (01:43:41):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (01:43:41):
But my guess is the Kirk kurve Treet's not writ
in that check. It's gonna be the you know, ESPN
or Amazon Prime doing it. I mean, Kurt's really Kirk's really,
really good, but he's got to be feeling pretty good.
But he's not traveling commercially ever again. But they put
Lee Corso in the basic economy. They did put the
Carso on a flight from Orlando to Columbus on dark breast.

Speaker 3 (01:44:04):
With connections with two stops and changing planes.

Speaker 2 (01:44:08):
He went Orlando to Columbus, had to change planes in
Las Vegas and Sacramento. Long layovers, really long layovers, very rude,
and made him sleep on the ground at the airport,
and then when get in a hotel room in between,
he had to sleep on the dogs we weep bad.

(01:44:31):
Carson's like, why is dog.

Speaker 5 (01:44:36):
Sorry?

Speaker 8 (01:44:36):
Randy up?

Speaker 5 (01:44:37):
Old man?

Speaker 18 (01:44:38):
Rude?

Speaker 3 (01:44:39):
Yeah, Randy, the floor is yours? Hi, Randy?

Speaker 18 (01:44:43):
Couldn't you hear?

Speaker 8 (01:44:44):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:44:44):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:44:45):
Sir? Go ahead?

Speaker 18 (01:44:46):
Okay. I wanted to get your sense of uh, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you interview? Uh Willie Fritz how he comes to all?
Because I have so many friends that are He directed
coaches in high school and they think so highly of him.

Speaker 10 (01:45:11):
I just wanted to get.

Speaker 18 (01:45:12):
Your take on it.

Speaker 2 (01:45:14):
So are you saying you don't think highly of him
when you hear him, or are you just asking just
in general?

Speaker 18 (01:45:21):
No, I think real highly up. But I wanted your since, yeah,
because I get to sit down and.

Speaker 3 (01:45:28):
Sure, sure, yeah. Can I just tell you I'm gonna
I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (01:45:31):
Peel the curtain a little bit back for you guys,
a little bout on Willie Fritz. And look, I've only
gotten to know him the last year change because uh,
obviously he was busy at beating us at Tulane. I
have never heard one person in the football coaching world
or the academic world of the high school world and

(01:45:52):
has ever said a bad thing about Willy. Doesn't mean
that Willy hasn't had to cut players, doesn't mean he's
had to be not tough, but he's just as genuinely
of a nice person.

Speaker 3 (01:46:04):
Ross's I've I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:46:06):
My two favorite coaches of all time in terms of
just being good people to me were Kyle Winning him
the head coach at Utah who's still there, in Ken Hafield,
who was a coach at Rice, and not Urban Meyer.

Speaker 3 (01:46:15):
No No, he was an a hole. Uh, but that's
another here nor there. Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:46:20):
Willie Fritz is just a really good person. I get
to hang around the team hotel that on game days.
I see how he interacts. He waits for us to
get on the plane, and he before we get on
the planet. On the you know, we walk up the stairs,
he greets everybody personally and says, hello, how are you doing.
That's great. I've never seen that in my life. Most

(01:46:40):
coaches can't run to their seat fast enough and put
a book or a tape on so they can hide themselves.
Willie talks to you. WILLI does not like it when
I call him coach. He likes to be called He's
like a lot of people in my life call me coach.
You can call me Willie. I feel like coaches like
to be called coach general. And just what I'm saying, Yeah, yeah,

(01:47:01):
he's tough. He's obviously screaming to people because his voice
is scratchy.

Speaker 3 (01:47:05):
Yes, but I'm telling let's go Cougars.

Speaker 2 (01:47:12):
He's just a really good person. And I'm and I
I'll mean a pregnant pause here. But it's so abnormal
in coaching, especially cut through. It's a cut through business.
And yeah, you know, he's just good. Now he's got

(01:47:32):
to win. He's getting paid a lot of money. I mean,
you know, I mean he's he's just a lot of coaching.
It's his you know, he didn't come here because he
was blanking giggles. He kind of here because it was
a better opportunity, more money. I mean, he moves on.
He's just like every other coach in that respect. But
and he may move on again one more time.

Speaker 3 (01:47:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:47:50):
He's in his mid sixties. I don't if he's going
to be doing a lot more moving in the rest
of his life. What I'm afraid of is I'm afraid
the nil world is gonna kill him because it's a
lot of work. That's why I really believe.

Speaker 3 (01:48:00):
And I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:48:00):
I know you of H doesn't have a general manager yet.
I think we're going to eventually see in the next
ten years Ross, we're going to see general managers at
almost every high end, at least P four school.

Speaker 3 (01:48:09):
What is the forgive my ignorance, why don't they have one?

Speaker 8 (01:48:14):
Does?

Speaker 3 (01:48:15):
Because every program has one?

Speaker 2 (01:48:16):
I guess guess you can What you can do is
you can have administrators player personnel guys, you can do.

Speaker 3 (01:48:22):
It effectively, do the effective job.

Speaker 2 (01:48:24):
But player personnel guys, ten years ago, we're only worrying about, well,
I've got twelve defensive I've got twelve defensive players who
are graduating. I need to fill that spot. I mean,
they're your your roster constructing. But you're just roster constructing.
Construction is based off of what you need and what's
left and who's graduating.

Speaker 3 (01:48:40):
And now your team in nineteen year olds.

Speaker 2 (01:48:43):
Yeah, now you need to the reason why you need
a general manager is because you can have guys leave.
Leave every single year. You're managing twenty million dollars a
year in school money that you can pay, and then
you're also having to have a conduit to the nil world.
That's why Andrew luck is the general manager at Stanford.

(01:49:04):
Uh what was Ron Rivera, the former Carolina Panthers coach,
is a GM somewhere ross I can't remember where he is.
You see college basketball teams having general managers all the time.
You know, Uh, Michael Lombardi was at UNC. I think
Michael Lombardi. Yeah, uh, woj bomb Oh, that's right, general

(01:49:25):
manager Saint Bonaventure because he is a Bonnie. He's a Bonnie,
but he also knows that probably gets amount of hel
money over there to improve them.

Speaker 5 (01:49:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:49:33):
I envision general managers now becoming as prevalent, and it's
important in the college game that I see in the
pro game.

Speaker 6 (01:49:41):
Hey, I just had a caller say that you Vates
does have a GM and it's Willi's son.

Speaker 3 (01:49:45):
Is that true? I know Willie's son is heavily involved.

Speaker 2 (01:49:49):
I don't know if he if he carries a title
or not, but Willie, Yeah, that would be the closest
thing to what the the UH Cougars have as a
as a general manager. Let me see what his Zach's
son's title is son I don't wes. Yeah, let's see
West West Fritz's general manager. It does say his general manager. Yeah,
that's right. I'm looking at it right now, general manager

(01:50:11):
staff of the university. Yes, he was first his first
job was director of personnel slash pro liaison. Oh here
here's yeah, twenty twenty five season will be his second
with the program and first is general manager.

Speaker 5 (01:50:23):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (01:50:25):
Now, he's a young guys. He to that person So yeah,
something we knew.

Speaker 2 (01:50:28):
Somebody out to Jesse, Thank you, Jesse so, yeah, Wes,
last year was exactly what I was saying. I wonder how
he got the job director of Personnel and pro Liaison. Okay,
and now he's got to see the interview process like
on that, Dad, can I do?

Speaker 18 (01:50:42):
It's?

Speaker 3 (01:50:42):
The job is yours son. That's a terrible what WILLI right?
That's awful? Right, I just had it.

Speaker 2 (01:50:50):
Will is a nice sky in the world, and you're
trying to do terrible impersonations. You got the job. I'm
going to record this. And he graduated in high school
in two thousand and eight, so what would I put
him at?

Speaker 3 (01:51:02):
Age wise?

Speaker 2 (01:51:03):
That's sixteen years I was two thousand and three and
forty set. He's thirty five, okay, thirty five year old
general manager? Okay, good for him.

Speaker 3 (01:51:09):
So yeah, last year, have great references.

Speaker 8 (01:51:12):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:51:12):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (01:51:15):
I'm want to record your voice right now and play
it for him on the plane and he'll put me in.

Speaker 3 (01:51:19):
The back of the plane. You're not right for that,
you hear that?

Speaker 19 (01:51:24):
Joan?

Speaker 3 (01:51:24):
How rude?

Speaker 19 (01:51:25):
It mean?

Speaker 5 (01:51:25):
He is?

Speaker 3 (01:51:26):
That's it right there, Joan, my good friend, Joan Rude.

Speaker 2 (01:51:30):
Everything we just talked about how great Willie Fritz is
and you're doing a terrible impersonation.

Speaker 3 (01:51:34):
He's amazing. That's right, thank you. Ohba way old.

Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
Dominions up to one over Villanova with forty seconds left
to go in the second.

Speaker 3 (01:51:41):
Let's go Monarchs, baby, But to owe me a buck.
How many quarters are there?

Speaker 8 (01:51:45):
Are there?

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
Quarters? No clue? Zero clue.

Speaker 2 (01:51:47):
Field hockey hockey's normally three periods, right, No, you don't
know what about when it's on the field. I am
My back is hurting watching this any longer they need
longer sticks. I just some study says fifty nine percent
of girls who play college field hockey say they have
back in Let me tell you some of My daughter
is six to one. I would never allow her to
play field hockey.

Speaker 3 (01:52:07):
No, yeah, you know what that's she's five to four.

Speaker 2 (01:52:10):
You find a bunch of fast four foot girls, that's
what you do. I just cracked the code out of
a team full of five four fast girls. Yes, all right,
seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five s. Come on, let's
go Villanova, let's go Cats. I want to tell you

(01:52:31):
right now about the halftime. So there is four quarters? Okay,
uh yeah, oh they're both four and seven but they're
two and one in the Big East. Oh, the mains
in a big it must be just for field hockey only.
That is an og liner there. We're not gonna be
on very long in this segment because we gotta get
the road O. We got we got some serious I
gotta be honest. I gotta take a lot of the

(01:52:51):
time up from my home, are you yes? I got
I need to The Toros are fine, you're four and one, yeah,
but I got issues. Let me a must win game
for cows Rough Riders and I only got seven points
from Si.

Speaker 3 (01:53:05):
You realized that.

Speaker 2 (01:53:08):
Adam used two players and got forty seven points from
two players. Cam Scataboo ninety eight yards and three touchdowns.
It'd be like that sometimes, man, Mondel Robinson. If you
just said, who's Wandell Robinson? Twenty four hours, I know
who wande Rondel Robinson's been a staple of a waiver
wire guy for the last few years. Well that's when
you actually didn't care about my team. Six for eighty

(01:53:31):
four in a touchdown yesterday. I'm screwed, and I had
Dallas got on my bench. But he's been up and down.
He had twenty one and a half points. Oh god,
I've been playing Kelsey because he keeps getting the inZone
every week. He just you know, I mean, I can't
bench him. No, I understand, Matt. I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm
just gonna tell you all. I love all of you
a lot, I love some more than others. But I'm

(01:53:53):
gonna have to use the first five minutes of Doctor
Rode my own team. Okay, rico' donald is what I'm
really curious about.

Speaker 3 (01:54:04):
Can we go down? Can you do it for two
straight weeks? Defense? He's probably not gonna get two hundred
yards sucks. Yeah, defense is bad. I got Keenan Allen
I want to use.

Speaker 2 (01:54:15):
I mean, we are we really going through your whole
roster right now in this segment? No, we will in
five minutes, though we're doing it right now.

Speaker 3 (01:54:20):
I'm moving on.

Speaker 2 (01:54:21):
Okay, thank you. You are so funny. I'm glad you're
in the league, though, Matt, and I'm glad you're performing well.

Speaker 5 (01:54:28):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:54:28):
I'm about to drop.

Speaker 2 (01:54:29):
My second consecutive game is going to put me in
terrible bad tear back. I'm one in four and I'm
about to lose, and brock Party is still hurt.

Speaker 3 (01:54:38):
Shoot your mom mess up.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
Let's just knock this out because this is probably the
last part time we're gonna talk baseball. Let's go Tigers tonight. Yes,
let's go. I don't care about Kyle Tucker hits two
bombs and they lose. See you think about your belly
all the time, all exactly what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (01:55:00):
It's a way to a man's heart, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:55:02):
So now that we have that settled, after that we
will say, let's go okay Tigers, blue Jays that we're
rooting for, don't care, blue Jays for sprinter, Uh, I
go slightly Tigers, Tigers for AJ, Tigers for aj yep
okay uh, and then National League anybody against the Dodgers.
Let's go Brewers, Let's go Cubs. Agreed, But we all

(01:55:26):
are an agreement except for one person. No Mariners, second Mariners,
and you're ridiculous fans. We're gonna have soft down a
week from Monday, because that'll be the week before the
uh Texans play the Seahawks on that ESPN OHO game. Yes, Seattle,
could they be hosting playoff games during that same time?

(01:55:48):
I mean it could be because Toronto would have the
home field, so I would assume that three, four five
in that series will be in will be in Seattle. No,
you know those jadiums are right next to each other too.
I think they're talking. They're talking about moving some star
times around because of that. Okay, so I think they

(01:56:08):
I think those stadiums share one parking lot. They're very
close to each other. Yeah, I'm not been so I
don't know. But they're on the same alleyway, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:56:16):
Let's make it. Let's make and go go go pregame
at Sluggers.

Speaker 2 (01:56:20):
No, no, pregame a Sluggers is the.

Speaker 3 (01:56:23):
Matt Thomas Show with Ross Waiver.

Speaker 26 (01:56:42):
Claims have to be made, and I've got trade proposals
fly in my way. My first round pig turned out
to be a big flop. I don't know which w

(01:57:02):
receiver I need to drop, Doctor roto give me the news.
Who's I really don't know what I should do. My
quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've got a bad cais of
fair deceive Blue.

Speaker 2 (01:57:25):
All right with the small talk, Broda, we gotta have
a serious heart to heart talk. I lost last week
and I need your advice, ladies and gentlemen. I apologize
with people of Houston as this segment should be don't
care this is for me, Oh my God, for me
for three minutes. Okay, here we go. Are we loving
Drake May against New Orleans this week? Yes or no?

Speaker 5 (01:57:46):
Yes? A big time?

Speaker 2 (01:57:47):
Okay, thank you very much? This ric o'donald thing? Is
this gonna happen this week again? For the Panthers against
the Cowboys?

Speaker 8 (01:58:00):
In your line?

Speaker 3 (01:58:01):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:58:03):
And Keenan Allen how we feel about him against the
Miami Dolphins this week?

Speaker 5 (01:58:08):
Love can now this week?

Speaker 3 (01:58:10):
See that wasn't too painful? Ross All right, let's move on. Jesus.

Speaker 5 (01:58:15):
The Toros look pretty good this week.

Speaker 2 (01:58:16):
Hen, Toros are looking good. But the problem is, guess
what I had to go against yesterday? Cam Skataboo and
wen Dale Robinson. I'm already down, fitty, it's terrible.

Speaker 5 (01:58:29):
Well look, Rico Capital could put up thirty himself. Yes,
so uh in a revenge narrative?

Speaker 3 (01:58:36):
Yes, let's go all right?

Speaker 2 (01:58:38):
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven nine zero. If
you want to get in for doctor Rodo will take
your questions of the segment segment second second segment of
the show. Can Baltimore look they were woeful defensively, didn't
do much offensively. The Rams defense is probably pretty good
as well, if you've got any skill posion players. So

(01:59:00):
are you playing him for the Ravens this week against
the Rams?

Speaker 5 (01:59:04):
I would play Ze Flowers. I would Henry's a tough one.
I mean, the Rams are going to be ready for him, right,
You're gonna put a bunch of guys in the box
and you're gonna say, Cooper Rush try to beat us. So,
but am I gonna bench Derrick Henry More likely than
I'm not gonna do that unless I had two sensational starts,
like would I play Rico Doubtle over Derrick Henry? Yes, right,

(01:59:26):
Tuba Hubbard's not going to play Rico's in a great
spot against Dallas. It's a revenge narrative. This dude looked
great last week. But I'm not benching Derrick Henry for
Chase Brown. So you know you got to pick your spots.
Save Flowers in a great spot. The Rams are look
after last week's debacle with the Rams blew it on
fourth and one running the football and they should have
thrown it. I gotta think the Rams are gonna put

(01:59:47):
four touchdowns up on the Ravens this week. So I
like Kyron Williams, love Puka, like Stafford, maybe even Devonte
Adams finds the Enzo.

Speaker 2 (01:59:55):
We're not huge Jacksonville Jaguar fantasy football players, but are
they sneaking up on us here? I mean the record
certainly is, but what about their fantasy impact?

Speaker 5 (02:00:04):
Yeah? I think that. You know, the problem is Trevor
Lawrence has been very inconsistent. He's made Brian Thomas Junior
more like a fifth round pick than a first round pick.
Travis Hunter is supposed to be this, you know, great talent,
but we really haven't seen it offensively. But it's you know,
the whole is better than the some of the of
the parts. Travis, right, he's a puss. Stuart Brenton Strange,

(02:00:26):
who's their tight ends? He's out, but Hunter long should
fill in and do well. I think Jacksonville is going
to play well. This is Vegas has this game as even, right,
this is an even game. So this is about how
does JSN play against the Jaguars takeaway defense? How does
Sam Darnell play? But I think the Jaguars can win
this week.

Speaker 3 (02:00:46):
All right.

Speaker 2 (02:00:46):
I've got a quarterback change in Cincinnati. Nobody thought they
were gonna win in Green Bay to begin with. But
are you do you like the fantasy impact that Joe
brings Flacco brings to the Bengals or is this just
the latest gasp Bow trying to find something that works
for them?

Speaker 5 (02:01:02):
Well, you know there was a report that Cincinnati didn't
even reach out to the Giants. How do you not
reach out for Jamis Winston? I mean, how do you
not reach out for Russell Wilson. I don't like Russell Wilson,
but he's better than Joe Flocco. Thing about Joe Flocco
is he can play in this league GA game three
or four weeks? He's fine. Are the prospects for Jamar
Chase and T Higgins and Chase Brown better on Sunday

(02:01:25):
than they were last week? I think so. Jake Browning
just lost any confidence that he had, So I think
this is a tough game. I think Chase Brown will
be used way more. I think Flaco will dump it
off to him a ton. I think Jamar Chase is legitimate.
Do I love T Higgins?

Speaker 14 (02:01:40):
No?

Speaker 5 (02:01:40):
But I guess if you know, if you have to
start them, you know, if let's say you have some
Vikings or some Texans, then maybe you would.

Speaker 2 (02:01:46):
All right, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, are we due for an Aaron
Rodgers stinker? Here is eventually or in I guess it
would be this week against the Browns. I mean, the
Browns have kept things relatively close.

Speaker 5 (02:01:58):
The Browns are better than we think they are. Dylan
Gabriel did not look bad last week. Quinn Shawn Judkins
is downright good. And you know who is it? What
is a rookie tight ends, rookie quarterback's best friend a
tight end? David Joku and Harold Fannon had like nine
receptions out of his sixteen completions last week, So I
think Najoku's it firmly in play. I think Judkins is

(02:02:19):
in play for sure. On the other side, I like
Jalen Warren a ton. I don't love DK Metcalf. I
know that we're supposed to, especially because the Browns play
a lot of man coverage, but DK doesn't thrive in
that coverage.

Speaker 3 (02:02:31):
I'm going to ask this one for you.

Speaker 2 (02:02:33):
Is there anybody that you wouldn't play if you own
a lion or a chief this Sunday in Kansas City?

Speaker 5 (02:02:40):
Yeah, I can't imagine it. I mean, that's just one
where you just read the game up and you know
that it's going to be a high scoring one. You're
playing the Homes, you're playing Kelsey playing Worthy. I don't
know if I like Pacheco, right I think I don't
want any Kansas City running backs. I'll stay away from that.
I think I like Jujus Smith's shoester more than I
like Pacheco. On the other side, playing Gibbs, you're playing

(02:03:01):
Saint Brown, You're playing Laporta. Jamison Williams is killing teams
right now. I mean really, he's killing fantasy teams. But
what are you gonna do. You're gonna bench him. The
second you bench Jamison Williams, the dude scores a forty
yard touchdown. So it's like, you know, damns if you're
doing dams. If you don't.

Speaker 2 (02:03:16):
I mentioned Rico Donnell on the Carolina on the Dallas side,
two big point totals for them in back to back weeks.
Is this a little hot streak or has this been
a recurring trend for them all season long?

Speaker 5 (02:03:27):
It's kind of a trend. Offensively, they're not bad, and
you know, the Panthers play a lot of cover three,
Well who thrives in Cover three, Jake Ferguson, Dak Prescott,
George Pickens, the three guys that Dallas uses right now.
So I mean, if you were playing in DFS and
you wanted to run you know those three guys and
bring it back with McMillan, you might be on your

(02:03:48):
way to being my rich friend if you have a
lineup like that. Dallas is in a good spot. I
think Bryce Young is in a good spot. I think
Dawdall's in a good spot. I think McMillan's a good spot.
This is the game that you know right now is
about a fifty total. This easily could end up closer
to sixty.

Speaker 2 (02:04:02):
Are you also playing everybody humanly possible? For Indianapolis this
week as they take on Arizona with Kyler Murray queshible
for the game.

Speaker 5 (02:04:09):
I think Kyler Murray plays. I think this game is
going to be a little uglier than we want it today.
I'm not saying that it won't be good. I mean, look,
Jonathan Taylor's always in play. I love Tyler Warren. That
guy is just amazing. I don't know if I love
Michael Pittman this week for the Cardinals. Look Marvin Harrison
Junior going back to where his dad played. I mean,

(02:04:30):
that's a story, but the Cardinals are all about this.
If Kyler doesn't play, I don't want anything with Jacoby Brissett.
If Kyler does play, then let's play Michael Carter, Let's
play Marvin Harrison, and of course let's play Trey McBride
because if they're losing, you know what Kyler does. He
throws a million passes to McBride.

Speaker 3 (02:04:47):
Chicago plays.

Speaker 2 (02:04:48):
Watching it on a Monday night game boy that the
Commanders go to La and get that huge win on
the left coast. I would assume that the quarterback return
made a huge difference for them, not only that week,
but also from a fantasy perspective.

Speaker 5 (02:05:00):
Yeah, Jayde and Daniels played great. Crosskey Merritt looks fantastic.
I love him this week against Chicago. That guy's a
must start for sure. McLaurin likely out once again. I
think that they use the little zach Ertz. They piece
it together with Zebo Samuel on the other side. I mean, look,
Tayln Williams might actually have a good game this week.
Roman Zunza is always in play. DJ Moore could surface

(02:05:22):
this week. So this is one where if you're losing
on Monday night and you've got a couple of guys
in this game, you might have a really good chance
to come back.

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
All right, if you got a question for doctor Roto,
the rest of the time is yours at seven to
one three two one two five seven ninety seven to
one three two one two five seven ninety. We'll also
get his thoughts on the big game of the weekend,
which would be Samisco Tampa Bay with a pair of
four to one teams meeting seven one three two one
two five seven ninety. If you got a question for
doctor Roto, we'll take those questions to the bottom of

(02:05:51):
the hour here on Sports Talk seven.

Speaker 3 (02:05:52):
Nintiaces Fantasy.

Speaker 19 (02:06:04):
Take a back.

Speaker 3 (02:06:09):
Oh, welcome to.

Speaker 2 (02:06:18):
We will live with a good doctor, the fastest starting
out into.

Speaker 3 (02:06:20):
The major market. Radio continues. All right, so rode the phones.

Speaker 2 (02:06:26):
How are we filmed with this brock party injury update
about Sunday? And doesn't mac Jones was so good and
that opportunity he was given. Where are we on the
skill position players against the Bucks this weekend?

Speaker 5 (02:06:37):
Yeah, we we have no problem with mac Jones. I
mean Christian McCaffrey is in a great spot. I think
Jake Tonscis is in a good spot the tight end
for San Francisco. Who's going to play another week until
Kittle comes back. On the other side, Baker Mayfield play
him and Mikabuca, Oh my god, this guy has been
a fantasy superstar, and I think you play with Shad White.
So right there, if you stick to that court with

(02:06:58):
those guys off.

Speaker 2 (02:07:01):
All right, let's go on the phones and talk to
Kenneth for Doctor Rotal on seven.

Speaker 3 (02:07:04):
Antie, Hi, Kenneth, all.

Speaker 23 (02:07:07):
Right, I got two out of these three. I can
start JSN, Davante Adams and Keenan Allen.

Speaker 5 (02:07:15):
Yeah. I mean we're definitely starting at Jasn. We're never
not starting him. The guy might arguably be the best
wide receiver in football. Outs out of Pookin Akua. Look,
Adams and Keenan Allen are those are tougher ones. So
I love DeVante Adams this week, but you're dealing with
kien Williams and you're also dealing with Pookinakua. Right, So Adams,
I think they're going to score four touchdowns? Is he

(02:07:36):
going to get one? Keenan Allen. They don't have a
running game because Hampton's hurt and Naji Harris is out
and they've had a lot of issues with the offensive line.
If Miami blitzes, you've got to think that Keenan Allen's
going to get a lot of quick, short receptions. So
I think you have more receptions with Alan, but a
better chance of a touchdown with Adams.

Speaker 3 (02:07:56):
Thanks for the.

Speaker 2 (02:07:57):
Phone call us go to Kyle on seven ninety for
doctor Rotal here on the Doctor Rodo segment of the show.
Good afternoon to you, Kyle.

Speaker 18 (02:08:05):
Hi, Doctor Rodo.

Speaker 9 (02:08:07):
I got three as well.

Speaker 23 (02:08:08):
I got Tony Pollard, Jacoby Myers or Michael Pittman.

Speaker 5 (02:08:14):
Yeah, I mean these this is a tough one. Honestly,
I don't love Pittman this week. I don't think he's
in a bad spot. I mean, I think he's certainly playable.
Jacoby Myers. The problem is Geno Smith thinks and I
really like Ashton Genty this week. Tony Pollard. They've mentioned
that they want to get to Jay Spears more touches,
but they always seem to say that and never do.

(02:08:35):
So give me Pollard and Pittman. It's not that I
don't like Myers. I really like Trey Tucker a lot
this week for Las Vegas, and I really like gent you.
I think he's gonna have a big week.

Speaker 2 (02:08:44):
Thanks for the phone call seven one three two one
two five seven ninety If you want to get in
for Doctor Ronto, A couple of lines are available seven
one three two one two five seven ninety.

Speaker 3 (02:08:53):
Okay, So what chi chillikan question for dtor rodo?

Speaker 18 (02:08:56):
Thank you mister Texas.

Speaker 2 (02:08:58):
Quickly where we think about Sam Donald against Jacksonville?

Speaker 9 (02:09:02):
It's on Hapskins and then.

Speaker 15 (02:09:04):
Quickly Rare defense this week or.

Speaker 9 (02:09:09):
Detroit defense?

Speaker 18 (02:09:10):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (02:09:11):
Thank you?

Speaker 5 (02:09:12):
Yeah, I think I'm always going to pick the Raiders.
I don't want to get against Tennessee. Right, you got
to think that they could do something there. I mean,
I like Detroit's defense, but I'm not going to do
that against mahomes Issam Haskins is a risk. Is he
going to play? Yes? Did he play at Michigan and
Harborough knows him? Yes? Do I think he's a great talent? No?
Camani Vidal is also going to go to a lot
of touches there, so be watched to see that be

(02:09:34):
very fifty to fifty Sam Donald does look great this season,
but this is a very opportunistic Jaguars defense. I don't
like West Coast teams who travel for the early slate,
bad things tend to happen. I don't hate Donald this week,
but he's not a guy that I'm seeking out.

Speaker 3 (02:09:50):
To play any thoughts in his Denver Jets game this week?
Up in London? Or are they in London this week?

Speaker 5 (02:09:55):
We again? Or where they they are there? I don't
know if they're in London, but I know they're a way.
Maybe it's Germany or something that. Look, the Jets are
a mess. I mean, who do you really want to
start there? You start Garrett Wilson, you start Breese Hall.
I think you start justin fields begrudgingly. But do you
do that against the Broncos? I mean the Jets are
you know, the go score it's you know, less than
twenty points. But I guess if I had those three guys,

(02:10:16):
I certainly would use Breese Hall and I certainly would
use Garrett Wilson. I don't hate Mason Taylor either. Mason
Taylor is Jason Taylor Son. He's a good young tight
end for Denver. Courtland Sutton in play, JK. Dobbins in play,
bow Nicks in play. I don't like the peripheral guys.
I don't like RJ. Harvey, I don't like Marvin Mims.
I don't like Troy Franklin. But I think I could

(02:10:37):
keep to the stars. Will be okay.

Speaker 2 (02:10:39):
You mentioned Zay Flowers. He still listened as questionable this week.
Are we nervous about him and all?

Speaker 5 (02:10:44):
Not yet? I mean, I'm happy playing him right now.
I mean we'll know more tomorrow. I expect. I think
that he's expected to go. But I mean, if they
don't have his, say, Flowers, this game could get ugly fast.

Speaker 2 (02:10:56):
All right, let's see here, Trevion Henderson or Algier.

Speaker 5 (02:11:02):
Look, Antonio Gibson's gone for the season. They like Romandra Stevenson,
but I've told you Treyon Henderson is the best running
back there. Stevenson's been fumbling every game. I don't know
what this guy has to do. But they're playing in
New Orleans and the good thing is the Saints run
a lot of plays. It's one of the reasons why
I like Drake may this week. NDT. When you run

(02:11:23):
that amount of plays, plays equals opportunity opportunity equals points.
Can tray Beon Henderson finally get fifteen touches if he can?
I think he's a really good start. Algier, you know
what happens Bijon Robinson runs like fifty yards and they
give him a breather, and then Algier comes and sometimes
gets the touchdowns. He would be a thing if there
is no Robinson. But so long there's is there Bijon,

(02:11:44):
there's no Algier?

Speaker 3 (02:11:45):
Drake may or Baker Mayfield?

Speaker 5 (02:11:47):
Oh man ah, gimme Baker. But it's really close.

Speaker 3 (02:11:51):
Okay, let's go to josh on seven hoey, Hi, Josh you're.

Speaker 9 (02:11:54):
On ferrodo well, you kind of answered all my questions.

Speaker 12 (02:11:58):
But I'm gonna ask one Ninjoko or Henry as.

Speaker 9 (02:12:01):
A tight end position.

Speaker 7 (02:12:02):
And then Garrett Wilson or Matthew Golden thank you.

Speaker 5 (02:12:07):
Yeah, you know, don't laugh. I really like Matthew Golden.
This week. You know they're playing against Cincinnati, who can't
stop anybody. Will Jordan Love take a couple of shots
deep downfield? I mean, we want to see more from Golden.
I want to see more from Golden. Arrett Wilson's gonna
get Patrick Chertana. That's a tough matchup. I'm not against
you going golden. I don't think that's a terrible idea.

(02:12:27):
I love David a joker this week. I love him.
I think he's in a great spot. I think he's overlooked.

Speaker 2 (02:12:32):
All right, let's go to Robert on seven Onty for
doctor rot O' Hi Robert, Hey, how's going?

Speaker 14 (02:12:37):
I got two fore quarterback Matthew Stafford or Cayleb Williams.

Speaker 5 (02:12:45):
Look, the only thing that keeps Stafford from having a
great three hundred yard three touchdown game is if Kyron
Williams gets the ball, you know, in the red zone.
But if that doesn't happen, Matthew Stafford could have three
hundred and three easily Kayler Williams. And I don't hate
Kateleb Williams, but I think I want Stafford in a
game that really could go out of hand. I mean,

(02:13:05):
could the Rams drop thirty five on the Ravens this week?
They really could. The Ravens need to buy more than
any team I've ever seen, and they'll get one next week.

Speaker 3 (02:13:13):
Fred on seven, unty, Fred, you're on with doctor Rono.

Speaker 13 (02:13:17):
Hey you, sir, I have a question. I have both
Chase Brown and King Henry. I'm thinking about sitting both
of them. I have Rashaun White, but my other two
are on my bench are Secure and Kinkaid. Should I
play one of them for maybe Henry or Chase Brown.

Speaker 5 (02:13:35):
I mean, I'm playing with Shan White. I agree with
you about that one. He's definitely a play. I think
you know the Henry Chase Brown. I don't think I'm
playing Shakirover either of those guys. King Kaid has been
good and the Bills should actually score a bunch of
points this week. But I don't know, Doll, you want
to be the guy who benches Derrick Henry for Dalton
King Kaid if King Kid goes like four for forty four.

(02:13:58):
I mean, even with a bad week, Henry score last week,
so I'm probably starting Derrick Henry Steven on seven, Annie High.

Speaker 9 (02:14:03):
Stephen Hey, just a quick question. Alvin Tamara's playing this week.

Speaker 5 (02:14:10):
I don't think we know that right yet. I think
that's gonna come out last second. It's got an ankle injury.
If he doesn't play, Kendra Miller will play, and then
this kid, Devin Nil will finally be activated and you
might see some Taysom Hill see a lot more Taysom
Hill than you want to play than you want to see,
So no answer. I don't have any news for you
just yet.

Speaker 2 (02:14:28):
All right, let's go to Augustine on seven. Auntie, go ahead, Augustine.

Speaker 10 (02:14:34):
Hey, let's have doc.

Speaker 11 (02:14:35):
I left Wandell Robinson on the bench, so trying to
make up those points.

Speaker 1 (02:14:40):
Should I keep Laporta as flex or slitch a mile
somebody like Cooper.

Speaker 3 (02:14:45):
Cup or a.

Speaker 10 (02:14:48):
Kendrick Bourne or something like that.

Speaker 8 (02:14:50):
I'll hang up and listen, thank you?

Speaker 5 (02:14:52):
Yeah. I mean, look, don't blame yourself for not playing Wandell. Right,
you're playing against the Eagles. Nobody expected the Giants to
play as well as they did last night, right, so god,
you did nothing wrong there, Laporte. Is it solid play?
I mean, laport you know what you're getting. The problem
with Cooper Cup is he hasn't been really good at
all this year, right, I mean, is this gonna be
a Cooper Cup week? I don't know. I know Sam

(02:15:13):
Laporta is gonna be out there. I know he's probably
gonna get ten or twelve points. Born is somebody I
would play. But so here's what we're gonna do. We're
gonna wait until Sunday late. If Pearceall is out, which
I think he is, if Jennings is out, which I
think he could be, you definitely get Born in the
lineup over Laporta. If you see Jennings as playing, then
it's fifty to fifty for me because Jennings is going

(02:15:35):
to soak up a lot of those targets.

Speaker 2 (02:15:37):
All right, let's go to Anthony for doctor Rodi'll go ahead, Anthony.

Speaker 13 (02:15:41):
Uh yeah, I've got two for you real quick, Baker
Mayfield or Matthew Stafford, and then another one justin Herbert
or bow Nicks.

Speaker 5 (02:15:49):
Yeah, I'm going Herbert over Nicks. That's pretty easy. The
Baker and Stafford. Man, they're both. Here's the beautiful thing
about Tampa. Tampa's defense is sleeky enough that it forces
the team score a lot of points. Well, Tampa's got
a good offense, so I mean this game is going
to be close to like forty eight to fifty points.
That's a high scoring game. I love Matthew Stafford. The

(02:16:11):
only thing that scares me once again is Kyron Williams
being there, because you know how Williams could steal two touchdowns.
So Stafford should go to sixty and two. Baker could
get worse than that, or Baker could go three, fourteen
and three right in one of those Baker Mayfield games.
The big thing is Mike Evans is out, Chris Godlins out.
Keep an eyeball on Kate Otten as well.

Speaker 3 (02:16:32):
All right, last call belongs to Willa on seven on
it go ahead.

Speaker 9 (02:16:35):
Willa, Yeah, real quick man.

Speaker 11 (02:16:38):
I won't see if you would take a Craft from
Green Bay or Laporta and also do last week the
guy Warren from Pittsburgh or like the week before, he
sort of like didn't play. Is that a situation for
this week?

Speaker 5 (02:16:52):
Now? Larren's playing this week? I mean it's not a
great match up. He should catch some passes out of
the backfield. I just don't love him running the football
against Cleveland. I love me some Tucker Craft this week,
guys should score, so let's get him into our lineups.

Speaker 2 (02:17:04):
Ladies generally asked Doctor Ronal once a week to give
us a complete, one hundred percent unbelievable performance. We're gonna
get from him and get from one particular NFL player.
It's Doctor Rono's like of the week.

Speaker 5 (02:17:18):
Empt. I just can't find the way how Josh Jacobs
doesn't score one touchdown, maybe two. I mean Green Bay
loves running the football, playing at home, playing against the
Bengals who can't find a lot of offense, and Josh
Jacobs one hundred yards and a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (02:17:33):
That's doctor Rotos like of the week. Where can we
find you? Between now and Sunday.

Speaker 5 (02:17:40):

Speaker 5 (02:18:09):
Can't wait until take care you got it?

Speaker 2 (02:18:11):
That's doctor Rota with us here on Sports Talk seven, Hony,
I have infused the non Florida story segment even though
I'm not reading them. How many of the stories while
I have sent to Ross and to Jonathan, will they
read on the air, we.

Speaker 4 (02:18:25):
Find interesting stories that her outside the state.

Speaker 22 (02:18:31):
Of Florida and share them with the people.

Speaker 5 (02:18:36):
Abfused, It's time for no Florida.

Speaker 22 (02:18:47):
I'm time for no Florida.

Speaker 5 (02:18:56):
Storm on the coast to coast by strange and wild,
No alligator tales, but something that will make you smile.

Speaker 21 (02:19:12):
It's time for last from far and wad.

Speaker 5 (02:19:19):
In this crazy world, there's nowhere.

Speaker 3 (02:19:28):
That is correct.

Speaker 2 (02:19:30):
It is that time of the week where we go
to stories that are from outside of the state of Florida,
but still weird, wacky, wild stuff. Should we just read
these weird stories at Matt sent and put him under
his umbrella? Well, well, let's do our stories and then

(02:19:50):
we can kind of rotate. I don't know, I'll go
ahead and let you start. All right, okay, mister Allen.
Uh so, mine's from China.

Speaker 6 (02:19:58):
Believe this is how starts looking for a get rich
scheme saving those fingernail clippings traditional Chinese medicine. Odyssey Central
reported on September twenty sixth. Clippings are incorporated into medicinal
products to treat a dominal distinction and tonsilitis. Companies that

(02:20:19):
make the treatments purchase the clippings and wash them thoroughly
before grinding them into powder, and the prices pay for
them are relatively high. One woman sold clippings for twenty
one the US dollars per kilogram kilogram. She didn't get
a kilogram of clippings. She had been saving them since childhood. Alright,

(02:20:40):
this is disgusting. This is oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (02:20:45):
Yesterday this is from Matt.

Speaker 3 (02:20:49):
I was like, what's going on? How do you get
you know, killogram? What is that? Like two and a
half pounds? Right, you know what? I gotta look it up.
I'll look at up right now. At two point two pounds,
that's a lot of Oh, and that's kind it up.

Speaker 5 (02:21:00):
Right, Yeah, that is.

Speaker 2 (02:21:03):
Discussing. And you're only getting twenty one dollars. I mean
unless you work at a literal nail shop or they're
doing mannies and petties. There's no way you're accumulating that
that amount of volume. I mean, nails are very light.
I guess help you taking them off corpses? Is this
a mortician? This is disgusting? Risky get risking twenty one

(02:21:24):
dollars for a kilogram. I don't think you're getting rich
anytime soon. Good Josh the first story from that. Okay, well,
let me give you one and then we'll go keep
rotating here until we run out of stories. Basically, let
me tell you about a woman eighty two years old,
just only going by her surname Zang. This is somewhere
in China, where unfortunately she had some lower back pain

(02:21:48):
as she was experiencing some pain from a herniated disk. Well,
she was hospitalized after trying to treat the pain by
eating eight live frogs, swallowing them whole.

Speaker 3 (02:22:07):
How do you even have the stomach without letting them in?

Speaker 2 (02:22:09):
On her plan, she had asked her family to help
her catch frogs, which are smaller than a palm of
her hand. In September, she consumed three of the frogs
right away and ate the remaining five the following day.
Soon after, she began to develop abdominal pain as was
sent to the hospital. When there, she had disclosed what

(02:22:30):
she had done, her son saying, quote, my mother ate
eate live frogs. Now the sharp pain has made her
unable to walk. Doctors conducted around a test and confirmed
she had a parasitic infection from eating the live frogs.
How did digest it damaged her? Digestive system and resulted

(02:22:52):
in parasites being present in her body. According to the
hospital and hang Zu Eastern China, the doctors were luckily
able to treat Zang and she was discharged after two
weeks of hospitalizations. Apparently it's common in China for them
to treat people who have eaten amphibians as cures. Traditional

(02:23:17):
Chinese medicine often includes the use of animal parts, including
amphibians like fries, frogs, excuse me, snake bile, or salamanders
to treat.

Speaker 3 (02:23:25):
Various medical conditions.

Speaker 2 (02:23:30):
So folks, if you're having issues with a herniated disc,
don't eat live frogs.

Speaker 10 (02:23:37):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (02:23:37):
This villanova person just stopped the penalty shot in this
field hockey game, which I'm winning, by the way, four
to one. Let's go Old Dominion Monarchs. It's a beat down, baby,
give me my dollar. Matt Thomas, all right, sorry? What
else you got there? This next one is from England? Yes,
tap me in.

Speaker 6 (02:23:55):
The thirty four was diagnosed at age four with pica
at is stored at disorder that involves eating items that
aren't typically thought of as food.

Speaker 3 (02:24:07):
Oh, Mac gave me this one. Mac gave you this one. No,
I just fy this one. Oh okay, I'll say ahead,
it's fine. As a child, she.

Speaker 6 (02:24:15):
Tried chalcum powder, chalk, and cigarette rolling.

Speaker 3 (02:24:18):
Papers, cigarette rolling papers.

Speaker 6 (02:24:22):
The Mama Flour currently eats about ten sheets of paper
each day.

Speaker 3 (02:24:27):
I look forward to the postman.

Speaker 6 (02:24:28):
Chapman said, Oh my god, certain papers taste different and
they have different textures.

Speaker 3 (02:24:33):
I'll whop a corner off just to test it.

Speaker 6 (02:24:35):
Oh, she said, she drinks plenty of water to help
with constantation constipation. When someone likes chocolate and they're craving
something sweet, they eat it and they and they fill
those happy chemicals being released in their brain.

Speaker 3 (02:24:48):
It's like that.

Speaker 6 (02:24:49):
So this is like an actual thing, like this is
like a like this is what makes her happy. God,
some people drink some people do this, and she's just disgusting.

Speaker 3 (02:24:58):
I can't I found the same story. He said, you
that's crazy. Uh, that is I get.

Speaker 2 (02:25:08):
Have you everd there the There's that show they had
It was like weird Addictions or something like that.

Speaker 6 (02:25:12):
Yes, oh yes, I know, strange addictions or something like that.

Speaker 3 (02:25:17):
That's a real thing.

Speaker 8 (02:25:18):
I guess.

Speaker 3 (02:25:18):
Wow. I saw somebody on there.

Speaker 2 (02:25:20):
They were eating like ceramic pottery and cigarette butts and stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:25:26):
Like that.

Speaker 2 (02:25:28):
Yeah, this woman eats a toilet paper. Yeah, my strange addiction.
Is that show still on? Apparently it ran for six
seasons on TLC Money, the Learning channel that he got
a rating of five point seven out of ten.

Speaker 9 (02:25:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:25:42):
I only saw an episode or two. That show was disgusting,
But yeah, I've heard of this before. All right, let's
move on anything else. Do you want to read that
first story I sent you? Yeah, you want to read it?
You go ahead, Okay, alright, I don't know here, I'll
read it. Since you read that one, it's my turn.
In Russia, doctors at the Cure of Regional Clinical Hospital

(02:26:05):
were astounded a sixty five year old man showed up
with a tumor the size of his head growing from
the back of his neck.

Speaker 3 (02:26:16):
The New York Post reported.

Speaker 2 (02:26:19):
The surgeons were able to remove the tumor on September
twenty second, and just identified it as benign lipoma, a
fatty lump that grows between the skin and the muscle.
The patient said he had been living with the lump
for sixteen years and tried treating it with simple ointments. Okay,

(02:26:41):
sixteen years, you got to you got a tumor the
size of your skull. They're like, ah, put some balm
on it. Igor popperin head of surgery at the hospital,
said many patients postponed a visit to the specialists, hoping
that the formation will disappear on its own. The only
effective treatment is surgical removal. Again, he had been living

(02:27:06):
with this thing for sixteen years. Goodness gracious. And that's
my non Florida story, my non Florida story. You read
that one that was disgusting. All right, there you go.

thought Old Dominion scored again. But it's four to one,

they lost to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Speaker 3 (02:28:47):
Yankees Keith, what do you got you doing? Okay?

Speaker 9 (02:28:51):
M hm oh, oh you there, Okay, so I was
baseball team is over with. I'm a Rockets Keith again.

Speaker 3 (02:28:59):
That's good, All right, let's got it.

Speaker 9 (02:29:02):
I got a couple of questions.

Speaker 1 (02:29:04):
One, uh, the dude that was planned for the G
League high score for the G League or whatever he
plays for US?

Speaker 18 (02:29:12):
Now?

Speaker 9 (02:29:13):
Is he competing with Read Shepherd?

Speaker 2 (02:29:16):
I don't think so. I think he's just completely competing
to make the roster. It's JJ.

Speaker 3 (02:29:22):
What's his name, Davison something Davison, right, look it up, JD. Davison.
Excuse me, not JJ?

Speaker 10 (02:29:30):
All right.

Speaker 9 (02:29:30):
A couple other questions, all right? One, why why are
y'all on a radio and Adam and Adam on.

Speaker 3 (02:29:38):
TV they're on the radio. Two, Well, I'm.

Speaker 9 (02:29:42):
Just saying, well, why are y'all not on team?

Speaker 2 (02:29:46):
My understanding is that they wanted something that would be
leading programming to the Rockets and the astros, and that
time of day made more sense for them and their
programming schedules. So I don't know if it was a
choice of we like their show better than y'alls.

Speaker 3 (02:30:00):
Maybe it was.

Speaker 2 (02:30:01):
That's not what I heard, and it's not like they
would tell me that if that were the case. But
my understanding is they want lead in programming to the
Rockets and astros, which they carry. Of course, we carry
the Rockets and astros, and it made a natural fit
for them to go ahead and use that show.

Speaker 1 (02:30:18):
Okay, one last question, Rob, Okay, what are you going
to do another remote?

Speaker 9 (02:30:24):
Because me and my wife want to come.

Speaker 3 (02:30:26):
Oh really, what part of time you live?

Speaker 9 (02:30:27):
In quite close to Stafford.

Speaker 3 (02:30:32):
Yeah, we were at.

Speaker 2 (02:30:33):
The brewery a couple of times recently over there in
sugar Land. My true answer is I don't know. Normally,
these pop ups with sales and depending on of course,
sponsors who want to pay to get guys out there
and all that type of stuff and pick which location
they want a showcase. For example, we were recently at
the Cypress Big City Wings location, thanks to all of
you who came out there, because that was a new location,

(02:30:55):
so they wanted to highlight in us mentioned multiple times
on air they were out there. So I don't think
anything is on the horizon at this exact moment. So
I guess I'll just let you know when we know.

Speaker 1 (02:31:07):
Keith all right, I'm looking forward to it. I like
to come uh hill my faith in the play wife.

Speaker 3 (02:31:16):
Okay, I thought you were Texans Keith too.

Speaker 18 (02:31:19):
Or not?

Speaker 9 (02:31:20):
Really?

Speaker 3 (02:31:20):
What what happened? I became batter with Rustin, then you
became Texans Keith. I thought we're boys on this.

Speaker 9 (02:31:29):
I still I still watch the Texans.

Speaker 2 (02:31:31):
I not cheer for him, but because I know Titans Keith,
and I know you jumped off of that bandwagon.

Speaker 9 (02:31:36):
That's that's been a long time.

Speaker 1 (02:31:38):
Well it ain't been that.

Speaker 9 (02:31:39):
Long ago, buddy. No, I don't want to I don't
want to deal with nothing. Titans relating.

Speaker 3 (02:31:44):
Hey, Texans have won two and a one, baby, come
on back, let's go, yell.

Speaker 9 (02:31:48):
I still watch them. I watch them every year. I
watch them because they're on TV all the time. I
watch them every every game. I watch the game.

Speaker 1 (02:31:54):
Anyway, I hope you have a good day and I'm
looking forward to coming to the next remote.

Speaker 3 (02:32:00):
All right, thanks a lot, Keith.

Speaker 2 (02:32:01):
I appreciate you calling in and we'll try to see
what we can do.

Speaker 3 (02:32:04):
Just make sure you don't show up any Yankees gear.

Speaker 2 (02:32:07):
Anybody got time for that. So we'll see what happens.
Like I said, those things normally come together. I mean,
it depends. I'm gonna be honest. We should do a
better job of promoting when we're out on the road
here at Sports Talk seven ninety. But sometimes they pop
up on short notice. Sometimes things are in the works.
We had a big event in the works for December.
I'm not sure if that's still happening or what's going

(02:32:27):
on with that. So we'll see. Cause now things are
in flux with sponsorships and different things going on. Of course,
you know that there have been some shakeups up here
at the Ports Talk seven ninety, so that'll be something
we'll keep an eye on as we go along here,
and we'll try to keep you informed as best we can.
As I mentioned, big sports weekend coming up, you do
have the Texas versus OH You game. I think John

(02:32:52):
Mattier is gonna play, right, that seems like the writing
on the wall with O You now is a one
and a half point favorite. That line opened up Texas
two and a half. I saw it was like a
fan duel. Sportsbook reporter or somebody else said the line
would be Texas minus five and a half if he
wasn't gonna play. Maybe Vegas knows something we don't know.
Still not sure if I'm gonna go. Tickets are pretty expensive.

Speaker 6 (02:33:14):
But I'll tell you this, if I'm the OU coach,
we got to get win this game and then you
can rest the next one and wait to.

Speaker 3 (02:33:19):
Most win game.

Speaker 9 (02:33:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:33:21):
I don't know what's what's on the sooner schedule. It's
Texas this week and everything says TVD on their schedule.
That can't be right. The times are TVD, but what
about the dates see. Okay, yeah, they don't have an
off week they're coming.

Speaker 3 (02:33:36):
No, they didn't have it.

Speaker 2 (02:33:37):
They had an off week before playing Kent State last week.

Speaker 3 (02:33:41):
And so yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:33:42):
Then they have at South Carolina home for Old Miss,
who's top five now at this point, at Tennessee, who's
number twelve in the country, at Alabama home for Miszoo.
Oh my gosh. See this Oklahoma schedule is insane. Number
four Old Miss, then at twelve Tennessee, at eight Alabama
home for fourteen Missoo, and then home for number eleven LSU.

(02:34:05):
No rest for the weary in the sec My goodness.
All right, that's gonna do it. For the Matt Thomas
Show with Ross without Matt Thomas, he will be back
on Monday. He only left for a couple of segments.
He is traveling with the University of Houston Cougars. Now
it's time for not one Adam, it's two atoms. They
call themselves be eighteen. They're coming up next year.

Speaker 3 (02:34:23):
