Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Salb okay, let's do this Sewn Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
To usc Troup's longtime friend, Sewn Salisbury.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Dan matthewscuse. This is the Sean Salisbury show to one
and that's it.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
On the ground, off the heel of Dubon's glove and
in the left field around third and coming home. Edwards
to throw home by Sanchez is high. Edward slides in
before attack and be applied, and it's an RBI single
for Liam Hicks and a two to one Astros lead.
Ericetti's oh one and that's a ground ball up the
middle and throw for a base hits to Hours around

(00:47):
third and coming home.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
He will score.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
It's an RBI single fer Auto Lopez and we're tied
it to one. One round ball, softly hit left side,
tough play. Correa Gloves throws to first high pull walk
her off the bag. A run scores as Hicks comes
home and the Marlins lead three to two. The bases
are still loaded and still only one out to.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
The single Ranch High School as it's belt to the
left field, back on it, Sanchez onto the warning track
and it is gone home run for Hernandez to the
left field.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
It's five to two. There's the two and that breaking
ball is strike three.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Call it backed up on Smith and wound up over
the inside corner.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
And Smith goes down looking to in the.

Speaker 6 (01:35):
Inning two balls to two strikes to out two V
and he got him tipped fall into the catcher's level
on a big swing. The helmet flies off about two
b and that'll do it for the Astros.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Now you want two to walk her swinging a mask
at him on the snider, and that is the ball game.
The Miami Marlins hold on, the hold off the Astros
six to four. The Instros still take two out of three.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
In the series.

Speaker 7 (02:01):
Yeah again, let it sink in a little bit frustrating
day at the Ballyard.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Robert Ford just told you about it.

Speaker 7 (02:08):
You heard it all yesterday right here on Sports Talk
seven ninety kbm E Houston and iHeartRadio station. As the
Astros unable to pull off the sweep against the Marlins
and in the effort to sean not only just their effort,
but the effort by the Mariners. Now the Astros lead
is only two games. And oh, by the way, before

(02:31):
you even swing an honest bat or throw an honest
baseball tomorrow against the Yankees. There's a chance the Astros
could only be up a game and a half on
the Mariners. Okay, good morning. Yeah, a lot of doom
and gloomers. I love a nice phrase. Oh by you,
you have a lot of doom. Good little it's not
even disdained any It's like.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Dng dan. Yeah, what's what's a what's a a C word?
Like a concerned? Maybe a D word for not disdain,
but like you're down trodden. That's a good word been
used in a while A minute? You know you're down
trodden a Dickens novel. I knew you were a little
down trodden yesterday because I almost commented, and I meant to,
but I didn't when you gave the not bad for Araghetty.

(03:16):
You want to you want to take that back. I mean,
it's not that I want to take it back, it's
just did we really expect that? Though? Yeah? Yeah, I expect. No,
you didn't expect eleven hits and three infield hits that
eight rekes. You just expected sluggish yeah, or rusty yeah,
and missing spots up in the zone. All of those
things probably v lo down a little bit. Yeah, I

(03:36):
expected all of that. I expected probably what we got
three and what three and a third out of them? Yeah,
I think. I mean he didn't get out of third inning. Yeah,
I mean, and you didn't get it, didn't get out
of the fourth inning. And there was some hard contact
for sure, but no, I'm going to stand by it.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
I mean, he did about what I expected he was
going to do, trying to feel himself out again.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
And I don't know if he's ever given up that
many hits he had in any performance side because I
mean they I mean, listen, it is rare you get
three swinging infield hits in three innings, and three of
them came. It was like in the first two innings.

Speaker 7 (04:16):
Right, at least the Marlins could field theirs. Right, that
guy doesn't have a hair across as you know what
that can make that play?

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Ever again, Oh it's incredible. I mean I was like,
that guy has got an absolute horseshoe up his backside
on that play. Yeah, no doubt, maybe two, yeah, maybe
two to make a play like rabbit. But three of
them and then they hit him for what eight or
nine more? You know, and they did hit the ball hard,
But what gives you if you're arraghetty or the frustration.

(04:43):
What's gonna, you know, really frustrate you. I'm always a
guy that, like when I was playing football, if you
got me like like a good get and hit me hard,
I got no problem with him. The cheap ones got me.
The cheap want to drive you nuts? Yeah, yeah, you know.

(05:03):
Or all of a sudden, you're about to finish the
throw and a guy gets a fingertip on it. You're
running a slant route. There's a space the size of
New York City. Alls you gotta do is get it
out on time and throw it. He's gonna catch it
and get out the back door because they're playing man
coverage and zero coverage. And he catches it, he goes
and scores right, and he takes it sixty yards to
the house on a twelve yard on a quick slant

(05:24):
little or a bang post, and you're gone. And then
all of a sudden, some guy who can't get to
the quarterback jumps up at the last second. You know
that guy who hangs around the line of scrimmage and
gets a fingertip and takes it off a little bit
and it goes on the back shoulder and he catches
it in the hole. But tackled for a twelve yard game.
You're like, okay, you got the gain, but he catch
if that balls out in front on his front shoulder,

(05:45):
on his front eye, that's he's to the house right,
And it's that It's the same thing here now then
the other ones that gets you seven times, but the
ones that sit out of the little it's the grinder
little things. Did you dude just get three infield hits
on me? But the frustrates he just he was not sharp.
But and I put this, I think the assos would
have expected to be sharper, but not six innings of

(06:07):
sharp three hit ball. Does that make sense? Yeah? Probably,
And it sits in between. It wasn't awful. If you
just look at the the numbers, you're gonna say putrid, right,
I'm talking about the early runs getting behind when they
you know, score early in the game. Whether he gave
up five runs and I think it was hectory Narris
gave up the other one when I think when he

(06:29):
came so yeah, yeah, exactly. And so you go through
it and you look at just if you didn't watch
the game, like man, that many hits, what happened and
they started thinking, well, three of them were swinging singles
and then and then they gave up a couple of
hard hit balls and got behind an account. And that's
the truth is. It looked to me like, well, if
I was if my name was or Hersheizer, I would

(06:52):
say to you. But looked to me like they knew
what they were throwing. Of course because they had some success.
Is that the way the narrative it gets the ass.
But they were, they were swinging that long, they were
getting after him, like you said, making plays in left field,
I mean all over the place. Am I worried that
this is who Ragetty is? Absolutely not okay? And his
swing and miss dude, what one hundred and seventy one

(07:15):
hundred and forty innings, one hundred and seventy some strikeouts?
I want to say. Robert Ford said, sixteen swings and misses.
It gets a lot of it. And I think last
year didn't he post almost one hundred and fifty innings?
And to I thought, maybe it was last year we
talked about it and validated it or I can't remember
when you know the number when it comes to metrics,

(07:35):
and did August he was Rookie of the month, right,
didn't he wasn't he like one seventy one hundred and
seventy plus strikeouts and one hundred and forty some innings.
Wasn't that astrictive? I mean the eating ratio. My point
is you're going to get more of that from him.
You and I both know that yesterday was an aberration,
but a normal one for somebody coming back. If we're

(07:56):
going to compare it, remember the guy who just got
back from two harm injuries. I mean for two years
with an arm injury. He's still trying to find his way,
and now he's got a blister that he's got to
go get a start in because of a blister. Right,
So rehab starts over blisters. Try to explain that one
twenty years then out of your buddies, hey man, one
seventy last year. Okay, there you go. So I knew

(08:16):
I was in the in the range, right, and maybe
it was maybe it was on the TV? It did
Did I hear that on the TV broadcast? Did Blummer
say that yesterday? And I've been something we'd talked about
the past, and Blumber valid that I thought he said
something about that. Yestually, The point is, as they were
going through Arrogetty. I'm not overly concerned about it. I
thought the start was blah, how's that now? Anytime you lose,

(08:40):
it's going to be heightened, right, And it just goes
to show you even teams like that with some players.
They've got some young players that can break. And if
you throw balls in a strike zone, pro baseball players
hit it, and they hit it hard. And they just
had one of those days. They're even watching tape today,
you know, when they wake up, watch tape before their
next Gay who they got the Yankees this weekend? Yeah,
Yankees coming up right there there. We watch tape saying

(09:03):
and Hunter in the first two games first Yankees and Astros.
But isn't it Braves and Marlins have it right? I
think the Braves of marks because we're getting a female umpire.
What I was going to say is they're going to
watch tape and say, man, we we yesterday was speaking
of that rabbit's foot of that clover. You know, four
leaf clover for three infield hits. Dude, you ain't getting

(09:26):
three infield hits in six weeks in a lot of times,
let alone a couple hittings sold used an infield hit, right,
and the Astros had a lot of hits yesterday. But
remember now once again we go back to Dan, is
it do you want them in? But I mean I
always say this, do you want quality or quantity? And
now I'd love both. Twenty two hits score twelve runs good,

(09:46):
but I'd won twelve or fourteen hits. Yesterday. They put
the ball in play, they had a chance. The problem
is is that it just wasn't enough at the right
time to push runners across, you know, in scoring position left.
I don't even know what that metric was because I
wasn't even paid attention on. Simply they got out in front.
Could never know, never overcome.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Overall, they were four for thirteen, But I did the
math from the sixth inning on yeah, and I think
I have it right.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
One for eight with a plothora of strikeouts in there
on a day they got double digits hits. And it
goes back to the quality at bats. And Dana's preached
that since he's been the GM on this when coming
on this show every Wednesday, he's always said, he goes
it's the quality at bats, and those quality of bats
mean when there's a runner on third and less than
one I've got to get the guy cross right, or

(10:30):
there's a runner on second, whether it's move him over,
hit the ball the right side. If he's on second,
you're right handed here, you'll move him over and then
get a chance. Or you know you're hitting the ball
in the gap, or you' hitting the ball in the ballpark.
You got to put in play or good at bats
where you work count work, count, work account and bam,
find you well, selle a walk or whatever it might be.
They just didn't get the timing of the quality hits.

(10:52):
They got plenty of them, but it goes back to
the I'll take the quality of I'll take eight hits
that drive in five as opposed to twelve or four
team hits. Man, it looks good the stats, everybody in
the lineups getting on base, but then you take a
look at the los or or lob should I say,
and runners in scoring position left on base all that
and didn't push them across that in the end, and

(11:14):
when we're sitting here talking in November about football and baseball,
we say, okay, how did the astro season go. We've
discussed what we think it's going to look like. What
are we going to be saying about in November. It's
going to come down to a couple of things. Was
the pitching staff rested and had did the and I
kind of put them together. Did the starting pitching give
you enough what's the bandwidth or enough depth when they're pitching,

(11:38):
get deep enough into games so that bullpen and they're
pretty good yesterday. That bullpen gets their business taken care
of right and they're fresh to do it. And and
I know you got to defend and make plays defensively.
They'll make enough plays defensively. It will come down to
did they get clutch hitting at the right time and
did Every day I watch more and more, it feels

(12:00):
to me like Carlos cares dialed in.

Speaker 8 (12:03):
Man.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Now he's a leadoff guy. You know what's crazy there?
There is something to this. You can tell he's more
comfortable here. He looks more even when he's out, he
looks more confident at the plate than he did ever
in Minnesota. Now. I know he's had seasons, but they're
just something about it. Man. He put this uniform on
the street. It feels like he's not rent in the house.
He's you know, like he did in Minnesota. That's not rental.
He's and I've been a guy who's been critical at

(12:26):
times of him in the past, and also recognize how
skilled he is. He's he's he's going to be really
good for this team because I can hit him in
a cleanup spot, and I can hit him lead off,
and it's a pretty damn good thing. And you know
what you're getting at third base. But Raghetti just wasn't
as sharp as we expect him to be six days
or so from now.

Speaker 7 (12:44):
Yeah, and you hope that it is going to be
a lot better the next time he's on the mound,
because it'll likely be against the Red Sox too.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Let's say it'll be they go Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And
how good is he right now? Man? That's that's good.
He blinks and his in the eighth inning exactly he is.
He is mowing people down right now. Gonna be a
hell of us. Yeah, I know, I know. What you're
said is that when they come back here, so let's see,
they'll play. They don't play today, they play Friday, Saturday Sunday,

(13:13):
and so that'll get three. Are we working a five
man rotation right now? That six? Right, I'm assuming we're
staying with five through the next series. Correct, Yeah, I
think okay, So then you'll get him on more than
likely Araghetti. It will post Tuesday night, Tuesday night, so
you'll get him on Tuesday. And then who's going Who
do we got going today? I mean not today tomorrow.

(13:33):
Who's opening the series? You said? I think? Okay? So
you go Fromber Hunter Brown, I guess Gordon in the
in the pitching game one of the Red Sox series,
or it would be somebody else.

Speaker 7 (13:47):
Sunday is TBA, So I'm not sure who they're gonna
go with Sunday, and it is going to be Brown
on Friday, and then fromber on set okay.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Then TBAs the Sunday, probably Gordon on Monday, probably on Monday,
and then back to Araghetty Tuesday or Wednesday. One of
the two he'll get one of the two starts, or
even too. I mean, is that is it? Because is
it Hobbyer? Oh? There you go? Had pitched on Tuesday night? Well,
then maybe maybe hobby a day.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
It's one Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, that would be five.
I would think that Monday night would be Hobbyer.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Then right TBA and get back to Araghetty on Tuesday.
I'm hoping we see how to back. But I'd still
love to see I'd love to see Hobby Aer and
the Red Sox here, see what he's see what he's
going to give you. Like I said that Velo's hovering
around ninety five, that's a little that's a little more
than he usually will give you. And if it feels
like his old high fastball, then his ninety five will

(14:41):
feel like what ninety nine. Yeah, especially with the movement
that he has, movements and the spin rate all that
he's got. Yeah, looking looking forward to saying him back.
But but it was a it was a it was
a tough one yesterday and it started tough obviously, Well,
hopefully they got on the board. They got some runs,
but they they that bottom of the first and the

(15:04):
bottom of the second. Miami came back some. They didn't
allow that lead to fester when they got down early.

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Hopefully they can match that toughness because they're gonna need
to down the stretch. As I mentioned the Mariners, well
they're lurking and we'll talk about that as the show
goes along. Seven one three, two, one two five seven
ninety is the number to get in someone three two
one two five seven ninety Uh for the Astros too,
an overly an overt reason to be concerned about this

(15:31):
part of the team. We'll discuss right here. It is
Sean Salisbury show on a Thursday Sports Talk seven ninety Hey,
sort of pro painters, sort of with a C.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
I can't wait. I love this time summer, gonna get
into that fall crisp. But then you can start doing
some work around the home. And as a di wire,
I'm gonna do some stuff on my back patio and
sand it and and uh restamp it and do all that.
I'm looking forward to it. But one thing I need
to get done and will is a brand new full
paint job so it feels like you're back in a
brand new home. And that's where Certipro's coming in. They've

(16:01):
done a ton for me interior exterior, and they were
doing it on a new home. They had a paint job.
Now that's how much I trust them. Think about that
new paint job. It's up you move in and with
any you know, six eight months I got cert of
Pro coming in, changing the color in three or four rooms,
making sure it pops off. The new couch you get bam,
love it. They'll help you pick out the paint. They're
local and trusted. It's expensive, Dona home, so you got

(16:23):
to put it in the hands and the protection and
make it look right with cert of Pro painters. And
whether it's your business or your home again, it is expensive, donum,
so why not protect it with curt of Pro Painters.
And it doesn't matter if it's your interior xterior. They're
going to take care of it again, local and timely
and ninja like they came into my home and I
didn't wreck. You didn't even pay attention. They were there.
They're in different rooms and by the end of the day,

(16:44):
I'm looking at it saying man and then outside and
I can't wait till the redo comes. And it's coming
here early fall. And there's only one people that one
person in one company is going to do it. Curt
of Pro. It's with ac certapro dot com for your
free estimate. Remember each and every cut of Pro business
is in individually owned and operated. I loved I wires.
I also love it done right and perfect the first time.

(17:05):
And I like to make sure it's done by somebody
who cares and is efficient, and that is sort of
pro painters. I'm so grateful. I'm part of the family now,
but I was a customer first, and I think that's important.
If I'm selling you on something, I better be able
to sell you on some I use, and they're the
only ones I use when it comes to paint chops.
Sort of pro painters, sort of with the CEA, sort
of pro dot com for your free estimate. It's sort

(17:27):
of pro painters. That's painting happy.

Speaker 9 (17:31):
Let's go.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
I don't see them having like that hockey relationship, you know,
the hockey teammate, Yeah, because that's where it comes from.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Is hockey?

Speaker 10 (17:41):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Anybody with the Oh, there's no doubt, you know? Yeah?
You know who else loved that. Bill O'Brien was big
on the Bill O'Brien was big on the you know,
the nickname stuff. Brad.

Speaker 7 (17:55):
This is maybe before your time, but Brad Mills was
big on Mils. Yeah, Millsey, Opie, you know, liar, No,
it was uh what was it? One of his pictures
was Lopez. You called him Lopi. Oh, yeah, and you know,
and then we go with Lopi. Everybody in sports seems
to have a nickname, especially baseball. And you're right about about.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Hockey. Oh yeah, hockey, hockey. And with the hockey accident
you see, oh yeah yeah, get it into the offensive zone. Yeah.
Adam Oates, who was a great, longtime great, you know,
center in hockey. There's no way they called him out.
It's like Crane and Company, the uh Jake Crane in
the crew. They they didn't know that Cam Neely was

(18:37):
sea bass and dumb and dumber. Oh really, how do
you not know that? And who yells chickens ass sea
bass in the booth, Roger Clemens. That's exactly right, yeah, Clements.

Speaker 7 (18:48):
The Fairly brothers really liked using New England born athletes,
New England athletes.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Yeah, and Cam Neely was a monster. He was. He
score on you everything. I loved watching Kim Neely play.
Now he's now he's an executive.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
You see, Like when they played the Blues and the
Stanley Cup and the Blues scored a goal and it's
now become a gift where if you're angry and it
was him, he picked up a water bottle.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
I tainted and rift no one and watching all those
times guys like Cam Neely. You know you look at
them where you see Chelios on TV with his nose.
It's been broken four hundred times. You know, Jeremy Road Jr.
That when they're watching it like going on, even if
they're like in their street clothes, you damn well know
that cam Neely's thinking I may not as be, I'm

(19:31):
not as good as I once was, but I'm as
good once as I ever was. That you'd think if
a fight breaks out, cam Neely's like, I'm gonna go
get me.

Speaker 8 (19:37):
Some of this.

Speaker 7 (19:38):
Well, it's also too I mean some people might say, oh, well,
isn't that kind of showing up your players and your coach.
I would think it's the other way around. I would
think it's like, no, our guy cares. He's not some
stiff suit up there just sitting.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
And he's one of us. And they're still in suit,
not a suit. Who's trying to be one of them?
And that's the thing.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
If he goes in the locker room and tries to
tell somebody, hey, you know that was horse, you know what,
it's not going to be like, well, what do you know?

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Right? Oh it's cam Neely. No, he knows. Not only
are they going to say not what do you know?
They're not going to fight him, but I can argue
with him because he might whoop you ask all to
loosen up the tying hand. But neel, he's one of
those and that's that trust factor. But I uh, And
the one thing about hockey and hopefully we'll get a
team here and people figured out that maybe aren't hockey
fans or don't watch it like you and I do,

(20:23):
but I can tell you this is they don't get
offended when they're criticized by their I mean it's like
they they're the one. Instead of getting offended, they're like,
you know what, you're right, they're they're great. Most of
the hockey players I've met and watched our great mirror great.
What's the they're they're great in the mirror, meaning they
take a look at themselves say, you know what, he's

(20:44):
not wrong. He's not wrong. Maybe a tooth or two
mossing missing, but oh yeah, there's no question. And they
got him or they're putting their tooth in or their
their two teeth are taking them out. But they're the
ones right, They're the ones that they don't get They're
not easily offended. And you're not gonna now. They may
want to fight you if you say something off to
a teammate, say something wrong to a teammate, But the

(21:05):
truth is you got a better chance at impacting them
and having them say you know you're right talking about
their game as opposed to talking about a teammate. Because
hockey players, I've been around, the second you start to
bring up one of their buddies, it's like, no, you
either go tell him or we're fighting. Yeah, it's one
of my teammates, right right. They don't get they don't
get offended when you criticize them byby They kind of

(21:26):
take it tard They're they're great at constructive criticism. Where
we know a lot of athletes and I can tell
you the pro sports that they're in rank of which
ones are more sensitive than that. You could sell them
how great they are all the time. The second you
have say, man, you got to pick up the temples,
well what about him? Right? Hockey players are never what
about him? Right? So a bunch of guys that sound

(21:47):
like dan Akroyd, oh yeah, and and does sound like
dan Aykroyd, but probably a tad bit more intimidating when
you would when you get after them.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
We're sponsored by Callahananto Parts out of scene that's as
Ohio's or even.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Lensky that's exactly right, and spark plugs ball joints. I
love that. Yeah, Lensky, the name's Ray loved it. So yeah,
but you're right about the hauling as he has funny here. Yeah.
I got to well, why do we get why does
everybody have to have a nickname? I mean I just
think it's a term of endearment. Yeah, And do you

(22:22):
think it kind of makes you brings you feel like
you're a little closer together? I would say, because it
shows that you're in. You don't have to try hard,
you're in good. If we if we gave you that name,
you're in, right, Yeah, we're not. We're not giving a
nickname to somebody who's who's just passing through. No, yeah, now,
and that's it. Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 7 (22:40):
Vin Vin's not wrong, Vincenzo, Yeah, no doubt he's not wrong.
What would his nickname be? I mean I feel like
vin Diesel. I mean, you know, Vinny because he can't
be the Diesel because we've caughted Diesel. You know, when
you're when you're jacked up Cocks Diesel.

Speaker 4 (22:58):
Well, I mean, you know Shack, yeah, but I mean
sha Shack Scott like yeah, so many of them too.
He didn't fake the funk on a Nasty Dog. He
does not now. I watched the thing with him and
Alan Iverson.

Speaker 7 (23:09):
Apparently they're trying to like, you know, make a a
new like headline shoe for Reebock because he was a
Rebock guy, kind of make a little comeback, and Shaq's
son is involved in it, and they tried to go
after Shake, Gilgess, Alexander.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
It's on Netflix.

Speaker 7 (23:25):
It's really good, but I mean it kind of it
kind of gives you a glimpse into Shaquil and you
that's right, I real quick.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Do you remember the Above the Rim brand? Reebox was
above the Rim the years you're probably younger, but a
Rebock converse. I remember those days, so so Reebock. They
had you know, you have like the Nike Jordan and
that Rebox answer to that was there was the above
the Rim. They had T shirts were basically playing above
the Rim. And you know who started that, uh well,

(23:53):
the Marriott family, Julie Marriott, my buddy Bob, No, my
buddy Bob Kapner, who I played against the high school
and pay he played basketball. Byu is Uh says Sean.
He lived in Ranchall Santa He married Julie Marriott, so
they had a little bit of good friend and he
from delmar Well point is I think about that the
branding part of it, He says, Sean, come on over

(24:14):
and I want to show you something. This was in
the early face. I go to his house in Ranchall Satafay.
They invite over for dinner and in the basement of
their crib. And when we say Marriott, it pulls a tad.
I mean they have a little bit bit of money,
and Bobby's a great guy and dude, he could shoot
the lights out too. We were in the same class
and we played on the same all Star team. And
then he went on to BYU and scorn Mormon is

(24:34):
what they called. He could friggin fill it now. And
so he brings me in and there there's his He's
got his silk screen everything, and there's black T shirts
all over the place. So he starts the above the
that's his. He started above the rim in his in
a side room at his house in Ranchall Santa fe
a handful of years later, he might have not even
been that long. He calls me, goes man Rebucks. They

(24:57):
bought the brand and made him the branded bat did
the back basketball guy that goes around like that fits
the guys and make sure they're all taking care of
the brand. Just put him on that and Rebock ended
up buying the above the Rim brand from him. So
when you said that, I'm thinking, I know that feeling,
because my buddy was at the ground floor was the
guy that came up with the above the Rim brand,

(25:17):
and he loved hoops Man, and that was like a
dream he got. He got all this, you know in
the marrit it's like I want to That was his passion. Yeah,
I want mine, that's exactly right. So and he did
and turned it out. So a little bit of passion,
a little bit of elbow grease, and some good backing,
and you can get back into those competitive markets, which
is hard to do that in the shoe and and
and apparel business, especially when it comes to hoops and

(25:39):
because those guys cost a lot of money. Ball there
you go, there you go. So it's a branded right
and shack right now, if you want something branded, he's
pretty good to do it. Let's see his branding kind
of fell through where it was like, you know, maybe
start being boisterous after the kids actually are good on
the floor and then you know, actually have them wear

(26:01):
your brand and then you know, go from there. They
talk people into the brand as opposed to when they're in.
I think he did a good job of talking them
out of it, that's my point. Even his own sons, right,
he was a little little two micro right, but here
we go that it's uh, you know, but it was
pretty cool. And when you see stuff like that happen,
you think, you know what, you can start and do
something if you've got to, if you got something in mind,

(26:21):
do it, especially if you got the back and put
it out there. Crazier things have happened and people have
got rich off off h less ideas. Let's put it
out idea, put it, get a good team, and I
would imagine having Shaq as a is a guy with
you gives you a pretty good chance to succeed at that.
So all I think so Alan Ivers is still respected
and pound for pound was about as tough as basketball
player as I ever saw. So I like, ai ah,

(26:44):
what a generation for sure? No doubt. All right, Astros
fans know you're frustrated.

Speaker 7 (26:49):
You want to be frustrated with US seven one three
two one two five seven ninety against semone three two
one two five seven ninety. Stros lose yesterday six or four.
Now only two games up on the Mariners. It's right there.
You can smell it. They're right behind your Try try
to keep him at arm's length as best as possible.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Talk about it here Sean Salisbury Show, The Sewn Salisbury
Show continued.

Speaker 7 (27:15):
Yeah, the eighteen Adam and Adam so yeah, shout out
to X too putting in double duty yesterday of not
only doing the pregame but then the postgame afterwards. And well,
let's just say he had some interesting calls after that,
because it feels like, you know.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
We wanted any of the calls. Want a dfay uh
close one of them.

Speaker 7 (27:36):
I mean valid about you know, not going to get
Dylan Ce's to the deadline and how much that could
hurt this team. And you know, you throw aarraghedtty out
there and he gives you what he gave you yesterday.
And the guy even brought up Verlander two another one too,
and this is a big one and I'm sure Jason
is going to enjoy this one. Is uh, when when
you call up about Joe Espada, he's not a coach,

(27:57):
he's the manager. So you're calling in and I don't
agree with your point already, So strike one, but strike two.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Get the names right. That's all it is. You watch
this team, you listen to this team. You know who
this team is. You should know every single player, every
single coach, every single manager that you're talking about in
that scenario, which usually I would say, there's three different
subsets of people that we're talking about. It's the manager
or it's the hitting coaches. Because funny how Josh Miller

(28:29):
doesn't really get mentioned much, although he got run yesterday.
Did you see that?

Speaker 7 (28:32):
Whereas the check swing and the first base umpire said, hey,
pitching coach, I've had enough of you oncet. You go ahead,
hit the showers early, go ahead and get that postgame
meal now. And then, of course it's the team itself, but.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Sometimes that's all. Sometimes you just got to get run
for a little motive, literally, give me a heap. Well,
there's people who've said that about a spot out. They're like, dude,
come on, yeah, go get just go get run, like
fire up your team, do something. Yeah, just go get
run and take the go in there sitting and watch
it in the clubhouse and eat and sit back and relaxing.
You know, if your guys pull through afterwards, you could
be like, hey, hey, there we go. Those times are

(29:06):
a lot better than some players only speech or meeting. Right,
So it happens. But so you got that call huh
dfa him and you're not very good. Here's the thing.
Just as we joke around, but in seriousness and talking
to Dana Brown, and I asked him what held more
weight for anybody that missed that the price was too

(29:26):
expensive to get a picture like that a Dylan ceased type,
or that you didn't want to pay the price that much?
Or did we? Was it trumped by the fact that
you knew that Javier Garcia Ragatty JP France were close?
He said that one held more weight than the price.

(29:47):
Can't throw the color? Yeah I can, but I try
not to.

Speaker 9 (29:52):
Is with that?

Speaker 4 (29:55):
So the price of okay, you should have got doing
cease and I would have loved to have him. You know,
we were pining for him. But just as quickly as
you said we should have gone and got him. It
was not going to be a cheap price. Hence why
Dylan Ceese is still the San Diego Padre. It would
have taken. Will you remember the stings that Dana talks
about or that Steve Sparks talks about. We talk about

(30:17):
it's gonna hurt a little if you go get a
guy like that. You don't give sy I'm going to
tell you right now, Dylan Cees's ability is cy young ability.
He's got the opportunity every time he goes out there
to either throw a no no attion to get the
seven innings and mow you down. He's that good. Now,
his numbers aren't that, but we see that a lot
of times he can. And my guess is that if
he was here by the end of the season, he'd

(30:39):
be saying, let's keep that guy here, right, He's got
that kind of stuff. So it's what would you have
had to give up to mortgage your future to get
Dylan Cease. It wouldn't have been a player to be
named later, okay, it wouldn't have been the twenty fifth
best prospect on your or in your organization. It would

(31:01):
have taken a lot. More so then the pressure of okay,
was it worth it? Two years down the road? And
in the rental case with the Kakuchie, you saw that
we loved to having him here. The problem is you
could say that the reason that didn't work out is
because you give away three guys and he didn't get
a chance to pitch in the postseason. That's not on
Dylan Cease, not Dylan CEA's but Kakuchi. He did everything
possible to validate that data. Brown did make the right trade.

(31:24):
Trades are always what happens after, not usually what happens before.
It's a during and afterthing. So you would have to
give up a lot to get Dylan Seas So that's
probably part of the reason. And he trusted that the
guys that are already in the organization are hopefully going
to come back and give them legs.

Speaker 7 (31:39):
What if the reason that you say Cacuci didn't get
to pitch last year is another reason of why this
Astro season could fall short of expectations. Well we'll talk
about that here. It is a Sean Salisbury show on
a Thursday, Sports SOX seven to.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Ninety guys, let's talk DM model leasing. Listen, it is
a time you know the average vehicle price is forty
eight almost fifty grand. Now I want you to think
about that for a second. Almost fifty grand. Do you
remember people, I don't want to age people, but just
go fifteen twenty years ago, fifty grand. You were like,
that's a fully loaded off the charts vehicle. I'm getting

(32:16):
anything I want. Now that's the average price for any vehicle.
That's a lot of money. And in this day and age,
you know that's at times too much for anybody. And
then you mix in I got to get a down
payment and the monthly pays. I got to sign a
seven year loan on it, which is going to take
you think about that, if you just that would be
twenty thirty two for you. You want to be stuck

(32:39):
in that for that long? Well, I got an answer
for it's the easy lease and it's DM Leasing, D
and M Auto Leasing. They lower payments. Isn't that part
of the lower payments? You're not tied up for seven
years and no down payment and great customer service for
a company that's been in business to you know, five decades,
dominating in Dallas all over and now in this year

(33:01):
it's dnm Audo Leasing. You don't want to be stuck
for seven years. So at a time when it's like
are you kidding me? And you're married to that divorce
that be married to DNM auto Leasing, lower payments, great
customer service, no down payment, and the rates and the
door which you're looking for to give you the peace
of mind and quite frankly, the financially make it easier

(33:23):
on you. Isn't that what we want? And then get
yourself in that new lease and let it rip. It's
dnmauto leasing dot com, dmauto leasing dot com. It's DNM
auto leasing dmauto leasing dot com for better prices and
no down payment dmauto leasing dot com. Live for the

(33:47):
Shawn Salisbury Show continues. But it's also, uh, you know,
the the over singers, because I mean that's the thing.
If you're singing is drowning out who I'm trying to
listen to sing, then you're ruining my concert experience. I mean,
we all love to sing along, sure, especially when they
say okay, he sticks out the mic and you're singing

(34:08):
the chorus form right that regular that it an ways
me to know it, right, but they do it. You know,
it's their way engaging with the.

Speaker 7 (34:14):
Holy Timberlake did that a lot when he was here,
and it's just like, all right, now I'm validated for
not going well, if I want to do that, I'll
I'll go to a karaoke bar exactly and listen to
everybody else sing I like, you know, you get into
like it.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Didn't pay hundreds of dollars for you to get me
to sing. Now I'm all for you and Elton Johnny
singing rocket Man, and we're all joining you on. You're right,
I want my taste right, So we're singing it and
we get into it, you know, everybody does. I like
the energy, but there is a point time if the
person next to me is singing so loud that Elton
John's the harmonizer, or you know led zeppelins your harmonizer,

(34:51):
or at a comedy con, you're you're finishing punchlines because
you've saw him five times before. It's like stop it,
like Dice starts doing the new rhymes. Yeah, and you're
finishing you already already got somebody in the group that's
already doing the oh before. It's like he's not right,
and you don't ruin it for the rest of us. Yeah.

(35:11):
So that and then they could be your best friends.
Like just here's the time and it's the in a movie, Sean,
what's gonna I don't know what's gonna happen. Watch a
Wick's gonna kill somebody. John Wick's gonna he's gonna break
like when stevens Agall with a sad he's gonna bring
He's gonna break a leg somebody's leg or snap a shoulder.
You're gonna hear that. You're gonna hear the crunching right right,

(35:33):
So yeah, on the ball the big ship rode the
cook of the cruise ship. Yeah, while he's whipping ass.
So yeah, for me, I just it's it's like the
over talkers, like you're saying, just sing along, but you
sing along as if you're in the background choir. Not
the front man makes sense? Right? Back is on this train?

(35:54):
Yeah you're Gary Busey, He's he's the guy that was
from the boat, right. Isn't that the one? Isn't that
the one where she jumped out of the cake? Yes?

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Right?

Speaker 4 (36:02):
Yeah? Is that fin out fire down below? Which one?
Was that one?

Speaker 9 (36:05):
Like?

Speaker 7 (36:05):
Uh that was under siege under stage there? You under
siege one because and he you know where the heavy
is Tommy Lee Jones, right, A lot of did that cast,
There was a lot a loaded cat, There was a
lot of recognizable faces that underseas kind of underrated, cheesy,
but that's Sagall and then Sagall eventually he's gonna run,
and when you watch him run, you're saying, there's.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
No way that guy's kicking anybody's ass.

Speaker 7 (36:28):
I always love that part with Bucy when he's reading
his his evaluation, where you know, he's got the dress
on the makeup and he's like said, I needed a
psychiatric evaluation, and then Tommy Lee Jones just sits there
silently for a second and goes, You've never looked better.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
Yeah, exactly. And if there's ever a guy in all
a life that's probably needed one. Even though I love
him Gary Busey, I.

Speaker 7 (36:49):
Always think of when he was on Entourage and they're like,
don't piss off Beaucy, and then like, well is it
Turtle broke something? And then he like goes and sees
him on the beach and Bucy like forcellly puts his
arm around him, was like, look at the ocean. There's
aerse shut, there's everything out there.

Speaker 8 (37:03):
Man.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Yeah, see, I don't think Busey had to act much. No,
I think he takes kind of trying and said, dude,
don't give him a script. Yeah, tell him, give him
kind of parameters. Yeah, and let it rip. Yeah. It's
one of those like where the actor. Hey, you know,
so this is how I like to be let into
it in the director. Hey, can I talk to you
for a second. Now, here's the deal with Gary? All right,
we just let him go. Yeah, you just respond to him.
He's on bridle horse. You just let him go. Yeah,

(37:25):
and we're not going to break him today. No, just
let it go. Just just respond. You're having a conversation
for getting the cameras in there because Gary Busey's not
following anybody. That's how he posts. That's Exactlykay, That's how
he gets after it.

Speaker 7 (37:36):
Speaking of the astros, we were hoping that they would
get after it at the plate yesterday. Well that didn't
necessarily happen because they lose six to four.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
Your pucker factor right now, real quick, we'll talk about
we come back. You got a pucker factor? Are you
not there yet?

Speaker 7 (37:51):
Let's just say that I'm getting dangerously close to pushing Okay,
fair enough. Yeah, So I would say that that's probably
where it is on the meter. I don't know exactly
where that is, but that's where I feel. But Shrows lows.
The Mariners, now just two games back in the Texans,
one more day of training camp practice before they head
to Minnesota for their preseason opener against the Vikings. Will

(38:11):
continue the Astros conversation hop aboard if you want seven
one three two one two five seven ninety because you
mentioned it that that factor that you just mentioned right there,
or as a buddy Mone used to call it getting squeaky, Well, yeah,
maybe maybe there is kind of that feeling as it
is the Sean Salisbury Show Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
But you want some vittles? Oh damn right, I think
about this. What's coming around Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Let's just
use that as an example. You don't need a reason
to go to Jay Barm other than you want great food. Meaning,
if you're sitting in Austin, listen to a San Antonio do.
I don't care where you are. If you're on an
iHeartRadio app in Montana like our guy Ray, when you
come down and get your butt to Jay Barm because
it's phenomenal bar you like barbecue, then go there. If

(38:52):
you don't like barbecue, still go there because the sides
will fit you too. But think about money. Tuesday Wednesday, Boston,
you got pre right there, indoor, outdoor, big TV, great food.
I mean, what a venue. But more importantly, just aside
from the customer service and Hoffey in the whole group,
is there in truth? Dan, And I'd like to test
I do. I'm a taste tester at other places to say,

(39:14):
am I really right? I'm right? A lot of barbecue.
I'm a barbecue fanatic. And Jabarim's as good as it
gets from the pitmaster to the customer service. When you
put it in your the food in your mouth, you'll say,
even if the customer service sucked, you love gay Barims.
It doesn't. That's my point. You get that's top shelf,
but it's one of those you're like, oh gosh, I
gotta go deal with that, and then you still go

(39:35):
because the food's that good. But here you get the
golden well, you get the you get the trifecta great place,
great customer service, great food well, and then you're thinking yourself,
all right, it's an eto that's got to be a hassle.

Speaker 7 (39:45):
Right, I'm gonna have to try to parallel park somewhere. Nay,
not the case, huge parking lot out there. Then you
park your car, you lock it up, you get out,
you go inside. You already start to smell the brisket,
You already start to smell the julapeno cheddar sausage. You
see howfe right there? Arash coming from the back right there, Hey, Rash,
what's going.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
On, buddy? Yeah? You know that slice of brisket looks
good right there?

Speaker 7 (40:07):
Oh man, those sides, I mean the potato salad, the
cole slaw, the beans, Yeah, ye, throw those into bread? Sure,
why not? You know I'm living dangerously today. That's what
you get at Jbarm Barbecue.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
You don't need sauce. Dam you like barbecue sauce? Fine,
it's great, it is, but it's one of those you
walk out and say, you know what, I didn't put
sauce on, and I didn't miss it. It's phenomenal. That
is one hundred percent with Jbarm Barbecue. Is.

Speaker 7 (40:28):
It's great food, great drink too, because you're gonna see
that bar over there too. As soon as you walk
through the door, you look to your right in that
full service bar with great drink specials, all of those things.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
No reservation is needed. You don't even need the phone number.
Jbar and Barbecue do. That's it.

Speaker 7 (40:43):
It's inside outside to the beer garden right there as
as Sean just told you, twenty two oh one Leland
Street right there in Edo. Jbar M Barbecue, lunch, dinner, anytime.
It's always a great time to go visit jbar M Barbecue.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Sports Talk seven ninety your home for your home teams
from the Parsons that match it.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
Next studios.

Speaker 10 (41:17):
Say, okay, let's do this.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Sewan Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
To usc true longtime friend, Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Dan Matthew, excuse, this is the Seawan Salsbury Show.

Speaker 7 (41:39):
They do not get the sweep in the series off
today before you taken on the Yanks tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
In the Bronx, here's the problem.

Speaker 7 (41:45):
Now, they're only up two games on the Mariners because
Seattle won last night over the White Sox. They got
another one this afternoon. So come on, Shane Smith, come
on White Sox. We really need you guys. You did
it to the Astros twice this year, three times this year,
So do one of those like kind of like we
were asking the A's to help out the Astros against
the Mariners a couple of weeks ago, Well why don't

(42:07):
you do that in return? So help us out today?
Send the Astros or helped you out right last night.
Now you go in there, take care of three and
you go help yourself out. And uh, let's see the Yankees.
They don't play today, do they?

Speaker 4 (42:21):
No? Okay, so it was just a three gamer with Texas,
So go knock it out, take care of your business
and hope that, like you said, get some help and
taking care of Seattle. But now it's then that sounded two.
And this is kind of what we expected Dan when
the season started, that it was going to be like
this and good on them, and I did and I
did ask you your pucker factor? Where is it? Say?

(42:41):
It's probably about three point five out of five or
ten out of five? Okay, so out of ten you're
talking six and a half, yeah, seven, that would be seven. Yeah,
So you say you just doubled it, So you said
three and a half, three and a half, okay, so
three and so yeah, So seven out of ten, you're
at the seven that that's significantly it is, guys, and

(43:01):
a huge reason for it is what I mentioned. What's
your biggest problem the sixth inning on yesterday? Okay? Is
that your biggest problem on a daily basis? Yes, late
innings at the plate? Yes, okay, yes, because I mean
early on the game. As I mentioned, you might look
at it overall, and that's one of those with the
stats don't tell his story. But early on in the

(43:22):
game you were a three for five I believe with.

Speaker 7 (43:25):
Runners in scoring position, and one of those was the
Christian Walker home run, which we do appreciate one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
And every time he does it, I have the same tweet.

Speaker 7 (43:35):
It's not to you know, stamp on what Brian McTaggart
does with his although I asked him what his Jesus
Sanchez one is going to be, and it's not going
to be religious.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
So I just I don't think Brian. Brian's probably not
stack religious. No, no, no, you know you want to
make sure you still clear of that.

Speaker 7 (43:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I mean I another one now,
I'm just thinking about it kind of works shopping in
my mind right here on the is he could do
something from the Lebowski, although I don't know that guy
had some of his demons too.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
Right, But anyway, so seven and seven for you in
the pucker factor.

Speaker 7 (44:10):
Because I mean it's the thing you look at what
the schedule is right now for the Mariners and the
problem is for the Astros. Is something that you know,
I didn't want to talk about today.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
The middle part of the course right there where it
had some par fives on there, it had some chances
for you to be able to take advantage of the
softer part of your schedule. You went two and four
against it in about a month. Where what were they
seven and fifteen? I think coming into this series seven
and sixteen something like that. I love the fact that
you buy into you like the golf reference with base

(44:41):
say it's a great reference and it's true, and go
back to just tournaments. Well, we could go to this
FedEx Cup that they're having with the Saint Jude's this
week right in Memphis. Yeah, I got news for you.
You par par fives in any event with those guys,
You and I par par five were winning. We're beating
our right, and you got a birdie someone even then

(45:02):
you got a birdie some of them, whether it's making
a three shot hole and you're in a scramble, you
need you need to knock down some eagles right, exactly right,
and they're par five and you par it. You're giving
away two strokes to the field. For the most part,
that's where you use your mulligans. But there's Aaron scrambles,
no question. But now now you've got a two hundred

(45:22):
and twenty five yard into the win par three on Friday,
Saturday Sunday. Yea, how fun is that? Okay, So you
come away with bogie or double bogie on those holes
and guess what happens, Seattle takes the lead. You just
throughout the course of the year, it's so long golf season,
long baseball season. You there and then when you're tired
and it's grinding down and somebody comes in and your caddy,

(45:43):
you know, miss clubs you and you still got to hit.
All those things that go on happens, but you ain't
getting where you want to go. If you're the Astros.
If you're birdying par five's in a tournament, meaning in
a game you go ahead and par against the Yankees,
you'll walk out of there and you will get swept,
and I'm sure they're failing the same way. I like
the Astros' chances, but you're exactly why as we get

(46:03):
closer to it, Shooting seventy five on the last round
of a tournament get you one and done if you're lucky.

Speaker 7 (46:12):
Well, And you would also say, get to the Yankees
bullpen for the way that they've been Devin Williams, everybody.
But isn't it always just such an Astros thing to
a team like this that they get just dynamite, lights
out pitching from that group, and you're just like, come on, man,
like everybody.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
Else, bring out your elevation, I would imagine. So if
you're the Astros, you have to expect that, right. But
it's also though too, don't make their job easier. I mean,
striking out with runners in scoring position, strike three, looking
with runners in scoring position, double plays, all of them.
Your whole thing is just hack away if you have
I mean, if you're gonna do it, if you're gonna
go down, go down.

Speaker 7 (46:47):
Swing and if your point, I would even say, just
put the ball in play. We're not looking for You're
not going to hit a five run homer. It's physically impossible,
it can't happen. But you can hit sacrifice flood, bring somebody.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
In and then then go granny on him. You can
hit a.

Speaker 7 (47:03):
Grounder to the hole there and be able to score
score a couple with a single right. I mean, those
are things that the first couple of games, well at
least the first game they did. The second one, it
was it was a lot of slug.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
It was.

Speaker 7 (47:15):
It was a lot of being able to make things
happen that way. Jeremy Pania coming through with the huge hit, which,
by the way, you know the consternation with Joe Espotta,
that was part of it yesterday where it's like you're
in a crucial part of the season, you're giving the
guy a day off, like you need that guy. And then,
funny enough, the first run score is on a play
that probably Painia makes and I.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
I love Joe, but it doesn't matter who the manager is.
I hate it at this time. I just do. I
know you got to give him to him. Steve Sparks
talked about like al Toovey my thing is, and I
know you're probably trying to preserve him because he's been hurt,
but I'm thinking, well, he's been out, he's had rest.
Then when I think it a pain, you right, I

(47:57):
mean maybe two weeks from now, ten days out a
day off, or maybe even you put him in there
and you pinch hit him late, he gets that kind
of day off. But I guess it's surprised. And I
know you get Listen, they're smarter than I am about that.
They're around their team every day and who needs a
day off and who doesn't, or maybe there's a little
pain and you want to make sure that well, okay,
let's preserve it for a day. But I'm with you.
I'm at the point now where you better come to

(48:19):
the park here st you're playing and you'll give you
a day off and maybe on a when we go
a night game in the day game the next day
and we're playing somebody, we've won two games in the series.
I get it. But I'm with you. Yeah, there's a
lot now to get Korea or paying you out of
the lineup. That's how many get games. We've got to
win the forties. Now, Dan, what do we what's the

(48:39):
record right now? Yeah, you're getting to the point where
it's now forty or fifty games, is my point there there.
You are to the point where as a player, if
you get a day off a bonus because you've won
eight in a row, fine, you should not come to
the ball thinking that you're getting a day and if

(49:01):
it's a scheduled day off and you're raking, I'm changing
the schedule. That's just me. I understand why they do it,
but i've that's something I'm always going to have a
hard time with Dan. I just am and I know
Dane'll come on here and Steve and I can battle
with them. I just have never been a load management guy.
You're forty five forty seven games off, right, and you're

(49:22):
if you're forty five or thirty eight and you need
a you know, Verland or miss a start and you're
forty when he was, I get it. Six man rotation,
extra one hundred al tuove, but I fresh legs and
the bullpen, fresh arms in the bullpen. But at this
stage of the game, dude, every it's precious and unless
there's a major reason or we're exhausted. I just for me,

(49:46):
you should expect to play at the ballpark. I just
I think if they say Sean, that's archaic thinking. I
get it, but I just look at it. The balls
not that heavy, and it's it's not travel and all that.
But let's face unless you're crouching behind home plate, it's
not that physically demanding to play left field.

Speaker 7 (50:04):
Maybe you're not in a full a full sprint just yet,
but you're at least in a good strider.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
You're at the four hundred meter thing. Now you're striding
it out and you're gonna get to that. They know better,
and that's something I probably got to get better at
of not allowing myself to get caught up too. But
I think everybody's supposed to be like cal Ripkin. I
know that sounds crazy. I do, and you can't. I
know the way the specialization has taken place, But I
just days arrest for my everyday players right now. I

(50:31):
haven't had them together enough to rest them all. Does
that make sense? Yeah, that's just how I feel. That's
why he's the manager. But I'm always gonna resist days off,
especially when you've been hurt and you've had days off.
I need that guy in the lineup every day. Well,
I mean, you got these in his twenties, he's okay, you.

Speaker 7 (50:50):
Got a crooked number in the first and you got
one in the fifth, one in the sixth yesterday, and
well clearly that wasn't enough because you lose that one.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
That's six to four. All right?

Speaker 7 (50:58):
Is this a case where sometimes times appearances can be deceiving.
I'll explain that right here as it is the Sean
Salisbury Show on a Thursday, Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
Why You're back? This is the Sean Salisbury Show. Get
back at it, all right, Sean, what are you hearing
out there now? The Salsbury's takeout?

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Salisbury's takeout on the Sean.

Speaker 7 (51:26):
Salisbury Show, Sean Salisbury Show, Sports Talks seven ninety. Astros
six or four losers yesterday to the Marlins in Miami.

Speaker 4 (51:42):
Now the Mariners just two games back of them. They
beat the White Sox last night.

Speaker 7 (51:45):
Texans one more day of practice before they head to
Minnesota preseason opener Saturday against the Vikings. All Right, social
media algorithms and kind of like what it says about you,
And what I think about with this is you were
the meme of the guy and the girl they're in bed.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
You know, the guys I've seen a few of those.
Means it's called porn. Dan. Well, oh, I'm sorry. In
this one, they're both fully clothed and they're not in
Congress at that point.

Speaker 7 (52:14):
But the guy is laying on his left side looking
at something on his phone, and the wife girlfriend whatever
she is, is on her right side.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
She's kind of looking over her shoulder.

Speaker 7 (52:24):
She's like, he's probably talking to other women, or he's
probably cheating on me, which really it's him watching you know,
I don't know, jackass videos or something like that. More
often than not, women just want you to know that's
more than likely what's happening. Case in point with me, Like,
I'm not rising up women on Instagram. I'm watching a
video of Giovanni from Giovanni's Deli in White Plains, New York,

(52:46):
sliding into the frame with a semolina and a knife
in his hands, saying, time to make a sandwich.

Speaker 4 (52:52):
You know what I'm looking for? What's that? First? Of
all those the fighting videos, these people that fight so there,
they keep scrolling across. It's like you can't take your
eyes off, but you're disgusted by them. It's almost like
a virus. It is like if a buddy of you
sends you one, then your algorithm will be like, okay,
you like that scroll right, I'm like six people beating
up on one. It's just it's disgusting. But for me,

(53:13):
you can rest assured, first of all, when I get
in bed at night, I do everything you can that
the phone's not a part of it. I think that,
you know, I honestly, but they tell you it shouldn't be.
It would be not a part of it. But if
I'm sitting there, if I'm said, well, we all do
once in a while, by try not to. You know,
there's a lot of things you try to do and
you don't succeed at, but keep working at it. For me,

(53:34):
I'm either looking up golf apparel, did my emails on
my phone. I'll get one hundred emails a day from
tailor made titleist Travis Matthew, Grunked Golfer, Broke Bogie Bros.
I mean, and I'm sitting there and I have four
hundred different shopping carts, then I'm not sure when I'm
going to use them, like Mizzing and Maine, like I

(53:56):
said Travis Mathew, Peter Malar, Johnny O's or I'm looking
at I found myself. Dude, You're gonna laugh. I do
look at a lot of cooking rest I do. I
know that sounds weird, but I do it. I told
you that I get Italian delis. I don't think I
get those two home builder stuff. The one is I've
told you see me in here during a break sometimes

(54:18):
I'm I'm a guy. I'm looking at every inch of
the barn do okay, and the pool and the swim
up bar at your pool, and what's that cigar room
going to look like? And getting an idea of a
paint job for that or what this goes. And I
know it sounds weird, but that you'll find me. You'll
find a pail like tabs open. It'll be looking it'll

(54:41):
be a pail and barn do do ideas or or
people showing barn does or custom ideas or what you
do here and how you do this with your front
flowers and landscaping. I'm out of my frigging mind. So yeah,
that's how I'm cheating. Yeah, on anything is I'm looking
at barn does and and the golf apparels.

Speaker 7 (55:00):
She always makes the comment to oh, you're on your
phone again. Yeah, I'm watching Giovanni make this chicken cutlets
with with fresh and I.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Got something he's added to a new dish. I gotta try.

Speaker 7 (55:11):
It always cracks me up too, because then he'll slide
back in. He's got muzzarella and a knife and he's like,
and don't forget about the fresh.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
And he's cutting it.

Speaker 7 (55:20):
He's like, he's like sliced, never cut, never sliced. And
that's that we do on Muzzetel moots is.

Speaker 4 (55:27):
The Italian version of some kind of cilantro in your
Mexican dish. Alway, yeah, exactly, just regular occurrence. So he
literally is but yeah, I mean that's that's that's yeah,
because I'm not missing out dan on a when it
comes that on a new recipe. But I'm not missing
out on a what's the word I'm looking for. I'm
not missing out on a uh a new quarter zip houddy.

(55:51):
I'm not going to miss out on some like this
like red Vanlely slacks, just all kinds of stuff I'm
looking for new but tears. Plus I got in mind
is you know, my affinity for it of my own,
so I'm always looking for stuff like that. So yeah,
laying in bed, the number one thing is put that
phone aside, and like I said, what is it the
Mannings or something. They're talking about how when they were

(56:12):
raising their kids, then they keep the power their phone up,
the kids phone up in their own room before you couldn't. Well, hey,
charging my phone, mom and dad. Then when you go
to bed, they're looking at it. Yeah, not a bad
idea when you do that with adults too, sticking in
the kids room, we're on our phones.

Speaker 7 (56:25):
That thought I was supposed to be family times. That's
you always love when when you get that one. Another
one too, is a lot of baseball ones, Like there's
a guy I think his name's Ernie Simms, and he
goes by the King of Juco and it's this Asian
guy who will face like Trevor Bauer like major league
pictures and try to hit home runs off him. And
sometimes it's in the simulator, sometimes it's on a real field.

(56:48):
And I'll watch those and you know, you see some
of these major league pictures like he faced Eric Ganie
and Ganye is like what fifty one fifty two now,
but still throwing like ninety one ninety two, and then
you know a bending slider gets them to almost fall
over after he swings. Yeah, things like that, tumbles to
the ground right in the batter's box. So yeah, so
I'm with you, dude. I'm yeah, hey, let me get

(57:09):
to this. I wonder what, uh what what Peter Malar's
got going on with a new golf share.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
That's me. I mean, like fall hoodies and the rest
of it. I had one come across last night. What
was it?

Speaker 7 (57:18):
I think jbar M delivered some barbecue to a tattoo
shop and they're showing, you know, the taking the lids
off of the containers right therell it through the phone,
and it's I mean, and it's and it's funny enough,
like where it's like, you know, you're not supposed to
eat that late at night, but you're like, oh.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
My god, oh no, dope question. And I'm also, you know,
I'm also looking like golf, like the new set, you know,
you like, do I want to switch to those irons
on the Made Guy or oh, man, look at that
golf course because I'm into golf course architecture too. I
can't do it, but I look at it and I think, Oh,
that new golf course going in, where's the next golf trip?
I mean that I got pretty simple when it comes

(57:53):
to that. But I'm not just to barn doze, some
good food and golf apparel and irons to fire at
the flagstick.

Speaker 7 (57:59):
Well, and the No Ill one too is these two
British guys that will play like kind of like a
where they hit stingers but they're hitting them at like
glass bottles, light bulbs, anything like that and.

Speaker 4 (58:09):
And hitting them. Yeah. Well, I mean in that you
love some fun golf videos and how a certain trick
shots to hit, how to fix your golf swing so
that I still spend too much time on that app
I mean on that uh, on that platform, but it's
usually just looking for stuff like that for me and
I overorder, like I will give me one T shirt,
give me two of the same, because who doesn't need

(58:30):
more than one Navy T shirt from built, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (58:35):
So there you got one of the one of the
British guys too. Whenever he hits, the target will always
come on. That's right, he always whenever he hits. The
British golf announcers are the best.

Speaker 4 (58:44):
Love it.

Speaker 7 (58:44):
That's it's you pick up on the lingo for sure,
but uh yeah, Italian delis for you.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
It's it's golf like there's one for me.

Speaker 7 (58:53):
Uh Tulair CEOs is a place up there, and the
guy he's always standing at the counter and they're like, hey,
can you make me this with chicken par and all that.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
I got just the thing for you. We don't have
enough Gray, I mean, I know there's some good dues
in my area. We don't have enough true delis. Oh,
I can take you to one. Yeah in my area,
not in your area. Yeah, I mean I did one
where it's a true deli. I'd spend a lot of
time there. I got one. Got to hang around these
air But I'm about out in the fuld. Somebody needs
to put in one of those old school delis where

(59:22):
they're yelling at the guy to get you, you know, bagels,
c C. You know what I'm saying for morning breakfast?
Yet you got eighty eight ready? Yeah exactly? Yeah, you know,
running and they're moving the line along right. And it's
also though too.

Speaker 7 (59:34):
I mean, the thing that makes those places great is
then you can go there for twenty years and the
same people are been working there for twenty years, yep.

Speaker 4 (59:41):
And it's somebody's brothers, sisters, uncle's cousin. They're all doing it.
And the kids started working there when they were eight
in the back round. You work there long enough, you
become family yourself. That's example, and you'll be running that
damn thanks someday. I'm with you, brother.

Speaker 7 (59:52):
All I got is family, families as we just as
we deserved Triple E play for us a little bit earlier.
But let's get back into the astros discussion. You to
join us seven one three two one two five seven
to ninety against seven one three two one two five
seven ninety and what to do when it comes to
this particular astro. We've talked about him a lot. We'll
talk about him again right here. Shawn Salisbury Show. Fantasy

like any of the Texans even that wanted to do this.

Speaker 7 (01:02:13):
If there's one near the stadium and you stop by
at a certain time, you'll probably see him before they
head in. And what's that smelling salts? Oh yeah, oh
yeah that uh I uh was a big endorser of them.
I've done it once myself. I mean, as you know,
we saw the video and played I'm talking about it
right right. Yeah, it's a hell of a wake up. Well,

(01:02:34):
I mean I needed it that day because it didn't
get to sleep till like eleven thirties. So then, you know,
I went and saw our good buddy Alex Middleton from
The Rod Ryan Show, and I go, hey, I've seen
you guys do smelling salts. I was like, do you
have any more? And he was like, yeah, go see
Rod and Rod goes you know, uh oh yeah, buddy,
you need one.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
Where do you can you buy him online? Yeah? I
mean you can just buy him like at CBS. Yeah, okay,
I've never done that. I'm too I'm too busy buy
an Reese's Peanut butter cup. I mean I'm trying to
cut back on the sugar. So I'll let you. I'll
let you have the the Reese's Peanut butter cups for now,
frozen Reese's Peanut butter cup. There is no better. It's

(01:03:13):
a good one. There you go. Yeah, for sure, Astros. Yeah,
I got my co host as a seven pucker factor.
Now I'm at seven man. Swept by the Yankees, then
what nine and a half? Nine and a half? Yeah,
in a three game stint, you'll be nine and a half. Yes,
swept by the Yankees, swept by the Red Sox, then
you're on a full on ten. I mean it's just

(01:03:34):
at that point they've done I mean, yeah, i'd have
to thank you on they're not getting swept by either.

Speaker 7 (01:03:40):
I mean i'd have I'd have to wonder if even
at that point you're able to hold on a wild
card spot.

Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
Or you would that be more disdained Danny? Would you
be out of your mind or would it be depressed Danny?
I'd be the full on Hulk at that point. Oh,
I mean you're you're going green? Yeah, green furniture being
thrown around, pissed off feather and the animate objects being
thrown around, phone screen broken. Yeah, sweep both of them.

(01:04:06):
Where's the pucker factor drops from seven to what? I
went back to six and a half? Well only half
a point? Yeah, wow, I.

Speaker 7 (01:04:13):
Mean there's there's there's quite a margin for one and
not so much for the other, because I mean I
just also realized that, all right, I mean, we've seen
this team do this numerous times. They go to La
after the same deal. I mean, it was it was
the the ideal scenario last last night where you lose
that game, where it was you come out of Colorado.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
It's like, damn it man, like, win that game. That
team's terrible, beat that team sweet Eagle or Birdie on
that one. Yeah you have to.

Speaker 7 (01:04:41):
And then you're going You're going to Dodger Stadium and
you're like, salvage a game and I guess we'll be okay.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
And then well you did more than salvage. You won
two more and you swept that series. And so think
about what you're in for, dude, you got a football
season in Houston will be better. I'm talking about with
Willie Fritz. Hoops will start and you know there'll be
one of the four favorites in the teams. That's why
I'm talking. And I'm talking about the Cougars hoops team.
Oh yeah yeah with that, and then think about what

(01:05:08):
they built with the Rockets and the excitement of what
Kd's bringing. Think about the excitement on a team that
I honestly believe with their division. And I know the
schedule can be brutal, but when you go in listen,
teams that were supposed to be good by week four
sometimes aren't. So when people say it's a tough schedule, yeah,
it's a tough scheduled team they played the year before.
Is it going to be the same this year. You
look at the Rams say, oh my gosh, well what

(01:05:30):
if Matt Stafford's not fully healthy. Well you look at
the Rams a little different. The Texans. I do believe
nobody's winning fifteen games this year, and that they can't
say she had said, you're just not. But you start
to hover around twelve or thirteen. You may be in
striking distance and they should dominate this division. They should.
And then you look at the Astros, which you get

(01:05:52):
in and then you keep moving, meaning the Texans, and
you look at the Astros after all this. Now, if
you were given that roll of the dice and said, okay, man,
look you went through all this tough. Here's gonna be
the reward. If the reward it was as big as
the adverse conditions with injuries you've been through this year,
that team will be playing in the world. I'm talking about.
If the reward, if all of a sudden, calmet says,

(01:06:13):
you went through all this, you withstood it, you were great,
You got people healthy. Now you're the best team in
the American League. If they get them all back and
they're ready to go. If the reward was as big
as the speed bumps that they've gone through the first
one hundred games. This could be one hell of a watch,
but there's still almost fifty games. You know, inside of
fifty games to go, there's a lot that has to happen,

(01:06:34):
and as you said, in a matter of six, seven,
eight games, your whole narrative can shift. And they got
back to back games against afs, I mean American League
East teams that are both playoff teams as we sit,
and both have World Series aspirations as do the Astros.
These next six games are going to be a blast
to watch, brother, and I can't wait to see it. Well,

(01:06:54):
and it's also too I mean, you're gonna be tested.
You're getting postseason baseball early on when I mean we've
had that. Well, shouldn't there an atmosphere at dyke In
on Monday, but the atmosphere in New York should be
especially since that atmosphere, you know a lot of times
when things aren't going well, even though they beat the Rangers,
they're a little more. They're there to yell and scream

(01:07:15):
and boo their own. There is going to be a
playoff atmosphere in the Bronx, and coming back here, there's
going to be high expectations because you may get back
to back starts by arraghetti in one of them, which
you're going to see him again, obviously, and hopefully by
then Christian Javier. There's a lot happening, and you're still
waiting on jord On Wincey coming and Jake Myers. I

(01:07:35):
can't wait to see him fully healthy if it happens
this year. What you just did is a natural segue
because we were going to talk about one astro. I'm
going to save that to the top of the hour
because what you just said, like I said, a natural
segue into our next conversation. Right here.

Speaker 7 (01:07:50):
It is a Sean Salisbury show on a Thursday Sports
Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (01:07:54):
Hey, guys, let's discuss this. DM auto leasing, okay, D
and M auto leasing. Affordability is the biggest problem in
today's car market. As you guys well know. That's a
captain obvious statement, but true, new vehicles average nearly forty
eight thousand dollars. I don't know how some keep up
with that. You got to get around and you got

(01:08:15):
to pay it. But here's what happened. Most people's wages
haven't kept up with the way that you know the
car prices have gone up and you're sitting there reeling
and say, man, I'm stuck with a seven year loan.
I just want to make payments work seven years. Being
tied to that sucks. You don't want that. DNM Leasing's
been in business and reputable a long time. Walk into

(01:08:36):
when you drive through Dallas, you can yell out DNM
leasing out the window and everybody knows who they are,
and they do here as well. They're going to solve
the problem with you is DNM leasing, and that's with
easy lease. Easy lease offering lower monthly payments, which is
the goal, no money down, which is the dream, and
terms that make sense, which is the closer. Now, that's

(01:08:58):
the way it's supposed to be. Don't overpay. Solve the
payment problem. Visit dmauto leasing dot com. That's dmauto leasing
dot com. Nothing better than lower payments rates and obviously
terms that make sense for you and no money down
and keep that in your wallet. Dmauto leasing dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
Let the celebration start war Sean Salisbury on Sports Talk
seven ninety.

Speaker 4 (01:09:30):
And he'll he'll hit the postman. He'll do it, and
he'll give you and he'll he'll go radio one on
one voice too, hey, and you know he'll do all that.
You know, at the top of the hour on the
what do they call it, the loom and boom the
top of the twelves and six at tops and bottom, Yeah,
tops and bottoms of the hour, seventy four degrees, gonna
get hotter here in Houston. The Doobie Brothers, Mike McDonald

(01:09:51):
and then whatever what's the name, keep forgetting or he'll say, somebody,
don't forget about this and boom, Mike McDonald, keep forgetting.
Hit the post man, you gotta And you wonder how
those guys hit that post where it's you got to
hit the post. You can't be talking over the first
you got to you gotta do it during the instrumental.
You got to hit that post during all those people
who are listening out there that have spun him before.

(01:10:12):
I know exactly what I'm talking about, but there's the
knack for hit the post is pretty impressive.

Speaker 7 (01:10:16):
Sky Mike with traffic here at the top of the hour.
But speaking of Mike's about a little Michael McDonald for
not That's that's how they do it. Yeah, those guys
got some skills, man, that they do Howard Stern. Dude, Yeah,
one hundred mill what's even make about one hundred million
year for like twenty years. Yeah, he's made over a
billion dollars plus a couple of billion, right.

Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
Yeah, easily, movie and book deal two. That guy lost
some stones along the way though, the things that he that's.

Speaker 7 (01:10:45):
Why, yeah, that's why he's he's out of a job now,
because he stopped doing the Howard Stern Show.

Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
Yeah, he started to do well. He went one hundred
and eighty degrees different of what we tuned in and
listened to. He was mister media, right, he was the guy.
Right now, somebody may land him for fifty million because
they still like, well why the themselves at this point? Right,
That's exactly. But you know how it is. You know
some people in the industry that working on relationships that

(01:11:13):
they may think like Howard Surnas, Howard Stern used to
be the guy who was camp miss even. You know,
you don't want your kids to listen, especially you got
a little out of hand, but you get my point.
That's the guy that when people were driving down the
street laughing or their eyes you were listening to Howard Stern.
And then when you go in there and you don't
have to negotiate, and they're paying a hundred million a year,

(01:11:34):
five hundred million for five years, have been doing that
for two decades, and then all of a sudden that
COVID stuff kicked in and the politics and stuff. The
people he used to make fun of or joke about
like a good comedian, those good heaven are the exact
person he became. He lost, talked about nobody went one
hundred and eighty degrees different than when he came in.

(01:11:57):
That guy completely lost his way.

Speaker 7 (01:12:01):
Well, I mean, you know, you soon enough turn your
back on your audience where you know the people who
are the same ones out there when he's got a
C D C up on stage telling you know, DC
one on one or whichever one he was with at the.

Speaker 4 (01:12:12):
Time, most untouchable radio DJ, radio host, radio talk shows
in the history I'm your buss, I'm your bus. But
he talked his way into being replaceable. Yeah, I mean
Heke had dude, he could do anything, turned to gold,
it didn't matter. And the truth is the brilliance in

(01:12:33):
it was he didn't really care. Just do the same
thing right and have the prank calls, all the things
interview the adult film stars. Just just just do what
you've been doing. He went away from the stuff that
made him great. Now, that's the thing.

Speaker 7 (01:12:46):
If like somebody, oh, hey, this is really how Howard
Stern is, you could just quickly be like, oh, I mean, well, yeah,
I have a life outside of this.

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
What do you want from me? Right? Are we to
tune it in too? All of a sudden and it's like,
you know, I'm brady with him, and all of a sudden, yeah,
fifteen years into his career, when he's been dominating, decides
I want to start running the options. It was like
Gary Dill, don't do that, like your pocket guy. Yeah,
Gary Diliberto and that guy that was with him for
all these years. I think remember once he put his
son on and he's like trying to tell him, oh

(01:13:16):
in COVID, oh don't go back to college. All all
of this, it's just like what a pansy dude, Like
what happened to you? The guy became he became so pussified.
He really did. Man, he did to the point of
to what are you doing? I understand, listen, you don't
have to you don't have to cater to to for him.

(01:13:37):
What made him great. He didn't feel like he had
to cater to anybody. No, he did his thing and regardless.
Then all of a sudden, it got to well, if
you want to wear a mask, fine, yeah, if I
don't want to wear one where I don't have to,
don't you obliterate me do it because I'll fight back. No, no,
you don't scare me one bit. So the point is
he got to the point where he started just like, dude,

(01:13:58):
the same things you preach to people, Well, for years
that paid you five one hundred million bucks a year
for two three decades. You went against him. He became
guy in the basement, afraid to leave his house, a
shut in.

Speaker 7 (01:14:12):
He was the weird kid, you like, self inflicted shut in,
Like like we all went to high school with this
guy that was like kind of he he's a weird
guy or lady. Yeah, yes, but at least, like you know,
they do things and you're like, you know what, they're
actually kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
No doubt, no doubt. He was the cooliest dork on
the plane. You know, the hair, the wig with all that,
I mean, just the craziness and just sitting there hunched
over with his glass on. But we loved him, and
he was funny as hell, and he he had the
way he weaved in it. And but his mate, his
magic was he did not care and he didn't take

(01:14:46):
any It wasn't like personal him. He'd laugh at himself
and have it. Then he got to the point where
if you would have walked, he's the guy during COVID
you're walking across your walking to sweat to get out
of your friggin' house, to get him out of his house.
He's like, he's the kind of guy who you know,
looking up at the what's going on here? Rick? But
he's the guy that four streets away with a virtue
signaled to your ass. But the guy we knew fifteen

(01:15:09):
years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:15:10):
Would be making fun of the guy that's virtue signaling
people bam, yeah, the guy.

Speaker 4 (01:15:15):
The truth is, I don't know if it's the media
or COVID the guy. It affected him to the point
where he literally self inflicted. He lost his career. He
self inflicted himself into people that love him look at
him now like, dude, you're a wacko. Now you can
be a wackle, but good at your gig. He now
is a wackle and not good at his gig well

(01:15:35):
private private parts. Howard was the was the was the
Howard that we all you know, fell in love with.
And then it's funny too, He's become on White's unlistenable.

Speaker 7 (01:15:43):
Speak speaking of the algorithm. I remember once he had
Paul Giamatti on and I didn't realize that was Giamadi's
like first big role in the movie was playing pig
vomit and in private parts. And he goes, did you
even you know, did you research the guy? Did you
look him up? He goes, no, I knew nothing about
the guy. It's just like I just read you know,
and I've I felt like, you know, create this character.
He goes, no, you became that guy. He goes, I

(01:16:04):
felt like talking to you all was talking to him, right,
which in geomondic great actor, right, really, really good.

Speaker 4 (01:16:09):
At any role.

Speaker 7 (01:16:10):
And I understand too, like you would think like he's
one of those I'm a thesbian, I take this craft
very seriously.

Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
Complete opposite, I've understood one of the easiest guys to
work with. Yeah, prepared, doesn't take his craft seriously. Yeah
it doesn't take himself seriously all but takes a job seriously.
For ourself, right and knowing the time he's got to
put into prepare. I just but that somebody is he's
gonna if he wants to work, somebody will hire him,
not at that one hundred million. But dude, he basically serious.

(01:16:36):
Exem was running because of him. Yeah, you can't pay
somebody one hundred You can't payhim five hundred million dollars
one dude unless he's impacting the entire platform, and he
was and allowed them to move and get you know,
all the other stuff. But it's safe. It was sad.
I understand if he has fear and all that, people do,
go see it. But he heaped it upon everybody else.

(01:16:58):
We're all playing a bit at a certain point. Yeah,
he just he lost his way. And the truth is
now I haven't listened or watched the show of his
well since twenty twenty. Yeah, it's been a minute for
me too. You know, Like I said that that that
I sat there and think, Dan, real quick, I know
we got to go to break. Do you ever sit
back and think about twenty of what do we were

(01:17:19):
living in a real life sci fi movie? H we
we we were? Yeah, and listen, you can be to
some people still wear a mask. You do whatever you
want to do. I think it's absurd, and I think
doctor Fauci should be in prison. I'll leave it at that.
Among others, he's a that dude. That dude single handily
found a way to kill a bunch of people because

(01:17:39):
for the money, that's just my I can't it's and
nobody you can't think Fauci did good stuff. Okay, he's
a crook, but that's another thing for another show. But
I remember standing outside of a grocery start I'll leave
the name out. And it wasn't the three letter where
they had you standing six feet apart in the parking
lot checking you in one on one to walk through
the grocery store. And I'm thinking you only see that

(01:18:02):
in some crazy ass movie, you know, Soilent Green. We
were living it and I'm never going back to that.
And Howard Stern's problem with him, he never got over it. Yeah,
the guy who's afraid of his own an, he's afraid
of his own his own shadow sucks. That's a tough
because you know what I can't imagine, and all that money,
he's not enjoying it. There's no friggin way you can't

(01:18:25):
be that miserable and enjoy it. So the virtue saying,
and you know nowadays, try to pull that off. Everybody's
looking like you're a nut job. Yeah I'm good. Yeah,
good one. There's a lot better people, a lot funnier people.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:18:38):
We got plenty of them in other stations in this
building that are more passionate and better about it, And
wouldn't virtue signal you for you having your own thing.
He he just heaped all his crap on us and
unfortunately it cost him. Yeah, well that's his afflicted problem.
That's the exactly.

Speaker 7 (01:18:54):
Look one of the things that my mom told me
when I was younger. Let people cook their own goose.
That's just the way it goes.

Speaker 9 (01:19:01):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:19:01):
Speaking of the astros in this weekend and the opportunity
it's ahead, they've got a chance to do something that
would make us all incredibly happy, and we'll talk about
it here. To open up the eight o'clock hour, Sean
Salisbury Show, AD.

Speaker 10 (01:19:15):
Houston AHD two Houston, my Hart radio station, and the Rocket.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
Is Sports Talk seven ninety your home for your home
teams from the Parsons that Match Next Studios, Saulsbury.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
Hot Okay, let's do this. Sewan Salisbury.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
To usc true longtime friend Shawn Salisbury.

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
Dan Matthews, this is the Sewan Salisbury show.

Speaker 7 (01:19:55):
Still win the series. But the only problem is the
Mariners are now only two games back of you in
the West, and it could be a game and a
half back of you before you even take on the
Yankees tomorrow in the Bronx.

Speaker 9 (01:20:06):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:20:06):
You of h hoops you want to see them on
the Toyota Center floor this year?

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
Well?

Speaker 4 (01:20:12):
Good? You know the luck is in your favor.

Speaker 7 (01:20:15):
Because they're gonna be taken on Florida State Houston Hoops
Showdown December the sixth, over there at Toyota Center. So
a good chance right there before the Holidays go see
Kelvin Sampson's team. I gotta believe, like I went saw
a couple of games last year, I think that the
over under is going to go above two and a
half next year. I'll be in that building a little
bit more.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
Oh, you have to man, it's such an easy it's
such an easy access, cozy building. I don't take place
to watch a game. I've not been to Cameron Indoor
and I know that's a code. What's that about a
nine thousand seater.

Speaker 7 (01:20:49):
Yeah, having having a un C grad in my family,
I think it's kind of forbidden for me to even
going with Dean the Dean the Dean Dome, I get it. Yeah,
Like Matt Thomas's wife's a big Duke fans, so every
time I see her, always say go to hell Duke.

Speaker 4 (01:21:02):
Oh there, there you go, and before you go to
Like I've been to the Carrier Dome, which is nothing
cozy about it, but it's historic, right because of who's
who's played there obviously been Allen Field House. But the
Fertida Center is such a and I mean this the
right way, such a simple building. It used to not be.

Speaker 7 (01:21:20):
I know it used to It used to be like
the bones of it if you've been to the old
Half Finds. But the old hawf Finds was a crypt Yeah,
it was like you went in there and you're like,
this is where college basketball comes to die.

Speaker 4 (01:21:34):
And and some of the old bit like the Plestra
have the but that's that. That's that. There's a different feel.
But this Fertita's and when I say simple building, it's
easy to get in line for a beer. It's you go,
you're walking around you can see the whole game. It's
just so yet the atmosphere is so electric. I freaking
love that the whole thing about it. And it's really

(01:21:57):
easy to watch when you're a team that dominates.

Speaker 7 (01:21:59):
I remember when we used to go I mean this
was you know, Clyde Drexler days, Ray McCallum, just you
know those days of Cougar basketball, and I mean went
to a ton of games with my parents and there
was always this really angry old guy who sat in
front of us, who had a Bill Belichick haircut, and
he just every single time was just so angry. And

(01:22:20):
I asked my parents once, I go, hey, you think
that guy's like still like incredibly angry, Like like if
he's still watching this team, like I've got to believe
like that it's kind of to a point where he
doesn't know what to do with himself, right, Like where
it's like, you know, when you've been punched down and
kicked as much as you have and then you start
to get good things going for you, you know, Steve
one would back in the high life again, still rejecting

(01:22:42):
because you're almost more miserable because you're just like I
don't ever want to go back to that. Yeah, you
kind of wallow in the you like you're the chaos
makes you, the misery makes you happy kind of thing, right.
I mean, we see you with Astros fans, no doubt
where I mean, you know, you see championship parades all
of that, and you're like, I don't ever want to
go back to the old thing, never again.

Speaker 4 (01:23:00):
There's no question. So yeah, but that's for Tita Center
is such a and simple to me simple, I like, simple, simple,
great viewing. Everything about it's great, but it's simple. It's
simple to get into, it's simple to get out of.
It's simple. It's a great watch, and the product's pretty
damn good, Yes it is. It's good. So these Astros
and get that same feeling. And the name may have changed,

(01:23:21):
but the atmosphere needs to stay the same when it
comes to dominating opponents in your building. And they're going
to get a chance against the Red Sox, but business
in the Bronx first.

Speaker 7 (01:23:29):
And that business in the Bronx too, because remember we
talked about a couple of days ago, and you even
saw this because I was along with the Astros the
Rangers and Yankees game was wrapping up. Yep, you want
to talk about desperation for Aaron boone, absolute desperation. You know,
state through David Bednar forty two pitches over two innings
in that game.

Speaker 4 (01:23:48):
Where Aaron viewings got him, but not for that.

Speaker 7 (01:23:50):
If I lose this game and then I say, let's
just say conservatively, the Astros take two out of three
this weekend, those calls for him to be fired are
going to be even worse. Here's what the Astros have
a chance to do. And it's twofold this weekend. You
have a chance to go in there and turn the
booze around. Because somebody gives up a three run homer
in the eighth inning to you, and you win that game,

(01:24:12):
they're gonna start booing them. They're not gonna boo Al
two V. They're not gonna boot Korea. And then it
gets to a turn you'll get turned on where then
you know, you get to that Sunday game and you
could have Korea and al TWOV being like, why.

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
Aren't y'all booing us? Like what do you? You're booing
your own guys.

Speaker 7 (01:24:25):
Don't do this right, don't don't don't turn on your
own guys now, don't don't go turn coat.

Speaker 4 (01:24:30):
Now. I think Aaron probably recognizes it standing ups better
because you sit down, that seat's gonna burn your ass
if you're not winning. This is a playoff series, playoff implications,
but job implications may very well be on the line.
And you betnar forty two dude, you don't want forty
two pitches and in two appearances. Uh, that'll set you
back a little bit. I wouldn't anticipate seeing him much

(01:24:51):
in the next I don't be Friday, Friday available, maybe
even Saturday. Yeah, there's no way. So yeah, it's uh,
this is there's a lot of bars to this weekend
series that matter, from injuries for us getting healthy, who's
gonna go and then coming back here to us meeting
the Astros and then all the talk and chatter that's
going on in the Bronx right now. That win yesterday

(01:25:14):
at least probably gave you a decent night's sleep if
you're the Yankees, because you got one, But you also
had to expend a lot of energy on your team
to get it well.

Speaker 7 (01:25:23):
I mean, and it's crucial for you in many ways
because as I mentioned, I mean, you have to probably
pencil in a Mariner's win.

Speaker 4 (01:25:30):
This afternoon, So that happens.

Speaker 7 (01:25:32):
One and a half a game and a half's that's
two games right there where you could find yourself behind them.
And then it's not necessarily like there's a ton of
wiggle room in the wild cards either.

Speaker 4 (01:25:43):
So I mean the team you're playing this weekend, the
team you're playing Monday.

Speaker 7 (01:25:46):
Tuesday, and it is, yeah, like where it's and maybe
that is, you know, the late innings just to kind of,
you know, where there was a little bit more pressing.
And we've heard from Joe's bottle before, expanding the zone,
doing all of those different types of things. And I
mean you start to see some at bats where quality
at bats that they're begging for quality.

Speaker 4 (01:26:07):
At bats with.

Speaker 7 (01:26:09):
You want the ideal conclusion, which is a three run homer,
you want you know, a base clearing, you know double,
something like that, but I mean settle for put the
ball in play.

Speaker 4 (01:26:19):
Oh well that's the strike out. You give me no chance, right,
And that's the But this teams in the past has
been known for this, not a high strikeout type team
in the past. Right, that's how they they've always they
tax pitching staffs because your labor the whole time to
align up. I'm anxious to see what it's going to
look like when they get fully healthy, and hopefully they will.

(01:26:41):
We keep saying if or when, because I'm not when
Jordan gets here then then then then then it'll feel
different to me. And when Myers is back though right
now there's there's there's some scoring left on the table
that they've got to fix, no doubt about it. And
we can discuss and I know and speaking of great
basketball venues gets from Indiana Assembly Hall, been there, which

(01:27:02):
is great poly pavilion, a lot of good ones, and
we got a good one here and I know we're
looking forward to that. But in the meantime, by the
time that's in full swing, hopefully you'll be a ring
on the Astros finger, which would be nice. And then
by that time, what the Texans are in first place
by three games in November, that'd be pretty cool. Yeah,
you speak it now existence, so it happened, mascast Brother
Manifest Biscuits. See you're right there.

Speaker 7 (01:27:22):
We'll get you involved in the conversation and also continue
the Astros. You want to jump in seven one three
two one two five seven ninety against seven one three
two one two five seven ninety Uh, this guy on
the Astros is the concern level for him a little
bit higher? We'll talk about him. It is a Sean
Salisbury show, Sports Talk seven ninety.

don't know if y'all seen it. A small thing that
happened underneath the radars. U of H backed out of
being the home school for the Sweet sixteen in Houston
this next year, let Rice do it, and so now
you of H can be in that bracket, so they

(01:29:26):
could have the home court basically advantage in the Sweet
sixteen to get to the final four. So hey, man,
you get your money, get your lighted up.

Speaker 4 (01:29:37):
Do you know me, brother, No, I'm in the same
church pew with you. I actually think and maybe we
say this every year, and that's fine. Since I've been here.
This may be their deepest team roster. This is and
there are stars mixed in. Don't misunderstand this is sometimes
when you tell Bisky you know this sometimes in the

(01:29:58):
old Schoohen you say deep, that meant it's like the
girl's got a good personality, which went she ain't hot.
You know what I'm saying that that's how you prefer it. Well,
they're deep. Well, are you telling me they're not good
at the tought? Oh, they're good through and through. Kelvin's
just now got the you know, you'll sit down if
you're not playing defense. But he's got the bandwidth on
that bench to go deep into it. I'm telling you,

(01:30:19):
one of the we're gonna be sitting on this radio
show at some point in time and you are going
to be preparing for a parade for this team. I'm
just telling you, I believe it. He's as good a
coach as areas in the country. There Now it's a
destination spot for big time recruits and transfers, and they
win and they do it the right way. I'm just
telling I'm with you, Biscuit. Deep, talented, well coached, they'll

(01:30:41):
be well conditioned. We are going to at some point
in time, while you and I are partners on this show,
crowned the Houston Cougars is national champions in basketball. That's
going to happen I don't know when, but it's coming, Biscuit, I.

Speaker 8 (01:30:55):
Think is I mean, you said they got the shooting,
they got the height, got experience, and they got the coaching,
you know, and and and you top that with having
that whole court advantage like for Newhead last year in
the sweet sixteen to get to the final four.

Speaker 4 (01:31:12):
Yep. Yeah, man, I'm I'm making a big futures bet
on the on the Cougars to win the national championship
this year. I am you call it, Homer. I mean,
I'm a usc guy. But my trust and belief in
Kelvin Sampson is through the roof and they are not
stopping and getting complacent. They they did. The job's not done, Biscuit.
Great stuff, brother, We appreciate you. Biscuit knows about great

(01:31:34):
venues too, because like I said, he's been to Assembly
Hall I'm sure plenty of times.

Speaker 7 (01:31:38):
And I also, I mean remember the Tuesday after show,
you know, when they lost to Florida and then you know,
I was down. I was, and it's one of those
where it's like, oh, Dan, you're you of h fan
two was there?

Speaker 4 (01:31:48):
I was bummed?

Speaker 7 (01:31:49):
Yeah, I mean for for my mom and dad, because
That's what it was is. I was like, I was like,
I wanted this much more than I wanted the Astros.

Speaker 4 (01:31:56):
What's there is?

Speaker 7 (01:31:57):
And damn you damn well, no, I wanted that, no question,
and I mean any other that you know I've rooted
for and wanted to see it through.

Speaker 4 (01:32:05):
But I was like, I just your parents want to
see them rewarded. I want to see them get to
see it. Your parents are going to see it in
their lifetime, dude, gott I hope. So you know, two
things they'll see for long you probably haven't grandkids and
then winning a.

Speaker 7 (01:32:21):
National title, because that's the thing. When I asked my
dad be like, you know, what are you gonna complain about?

Speaker 9 (01:32:25):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
There's nothing? Really? Do we all find something to complain about? Brother?
You kidd me?

Speaker 5 (01:32:31):
We all.

Speaker 4 (01:32:32):
I can tell you what your dad's going to complain
about missing hitting it within ten feet that that you
know it did his whole whole home course. Yeah, And
so that's what listen, I can. If I'm not conplain
about anything, I'll find a way to complain about golf.
So you'll find something we all do.

Speaker 7 (01:32:48):
My dad is a very mild, mild mannered guy, but
when it comes to you, of h something just comes
out of them. So remember that West Virginia Thursday night
game they had to win on the Hail Mary. They
blew a lead in the same half and the final
touchdown where it looked like West Virginia is gonna win
that game, my dad lost his mind on Dana Holgerson
from where their seats are close enough to the field.

Speaker 4 (01:33:11):
Was that Clayton Toon's team?

Speaker 7 (01:33:12):
Uh No, it wasn't Tune. I'm trying to remember who
the quarterback was. It was a couple of years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:33:18):
Wasn't the kid who transferred, Well, yeah, Texas Tech, Texas
Tech transfer got his name. But regardless, Yeah, where they
gave up the lead, looks like they're gonna lose it,
and my dad just lost his mind. Damn you, Dana
just yelling.

Speaker 7 (01:33:32):
And then finally, like as we turn around, I realized
who was two seats behind or two rows behind us, Tillman.

Speaker 4 (01:33:38):
So I joked with my dad all the time. I'm like, Dad,
you might have gotten the wheels in motion. You might
you might have been the one that got Dana run.
Do you don't how precise the dynamic Tillman is with
all his businesses. So I'm sure he's listened into everything.
The salad didn't taste good, Oh yes it did. We're
gonna get that. There's not a whole lot of hitches
in his gidea up. I'm sure he's listened to all

(01:33:58):
that stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:33:58):
So I'm wondering now, next time I see Tilman and
reintroduce myself, it's gonna.

Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
Be like, oh, yeah, hey, hidden your dad be like, yeah,
that's him, that's him.

Speaker 7 (01:34:06):
He's passionate, a buzz Kook's Tilman quarterback was it was
a couple of years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
Wasn't the kid who transferred well, yeah, Texas Tech. The
Texas Tech transfer got his name. But regardless of yeah,
where they gave up the lead. Looks like they're gonna
lose it. And my dad just lost his mind. Damn you,
Dana just yelling.

Speaker 7 (01:34:24):
And then finally like as we turn around, I realized
who was two seats behind or two rows behind us? Tilman?
So I joked with my dad all the time. I'm like, Dad,
you might have got the wheels in motion. You might
you might have been the one that got Dana run.

Speaker 4 (01:34:38):
Do you know how precise the dynamic Tilman is with
all his businesses, so I'm sure he's listened into everything.
The salad didn't taste good, Oh yes it did. We're
gonna get that. There's not a whole lot of hitches
in his gidea up. I'm sure he's listened to all
that stuff.

Speaker 7 (01:34:50):
So I'm wondering, now, next time I see Tilman and
reintroduce myself, it's gonna be.

Speaker 4 (01:34:54):
Like, oh, yeah, hey, hidden your dad be like, yeah,
that's him, that's him. He's passionate, a buzz kook Silman.
That's just the way the man is. But yeah, put
it this way, if Tilban remembers that situation, it's going
to be your dad must have been fired up that
way because all the stuff that's awesome, well, he's going
to get a chance to see it, and the Houston
Cougars have as good a chance as anybody else in

(01:35:15):
America and will get program going. I can't wait to
see his impacts as he test time and he gets
his players in here. I mean, I am anxious to
see because the guy wins at every level.

Speaker 7 (01:35:25):
Hard to do anything but go up offensively from what
you did last year two hundred and eighty eight yards
per game.

Speaker 4 (01:35:29):
You were last in the big twelve nine offense. Are
we hoping we see the guy that we thought coming
going to be? It looks like a rookie at times,
and that's okay, But I think that I think they
believe in my now, he may sit him down. I
don't know, but I believe. Look how much more run
they're trying to get both Kroteni and Diaz in live
and Diaz you know they're they're responding. Both of them

(01:35:51):
have and I'm just waiting to see. I don't know Dan,
I really don't know, but I don't think. I don't
think soured on camp Smith. I just think that it's
a rookie. Is he's never played this many games in
his life, right, That's I'm not making an excuse for him.
So maybe may depending on how healthy. But right now,
I think that you believe that they remember the first

(01:36:12):
one of the first questions I asked Dan about him
was is he tough enough to handle failure? And they
believe he is and and and he's had plenty of it.
And he's had plenty of success too, So there's more.
I can't wait to see him when he settles in
and just is able to do his thing every day.
But it's been a fun watch. But yeah, oh, I
think there'll be lineup changes at times. I do. I
think you'd probably be more apt when they get fully

(01:36:34):
healthy to be able to give him if he's not
going good, to either move him down more and keep
him there or make some adjustments where he's getting a
little more time from the dugout. Maybe I don't. I
don't think that, and that's not disrespectful. That may just
be fact. Now you got to run out your best
date plus your pitcher man. You just have to special
friends coming in studio. Yeah, the Southwest Football League, dude,
and it's it's that time of year for youth football

(01:36:56):
and the rest of it. And we're we're at a
time when youth football and the way it's coached, in
the way they're mentored, is it a premium, brother, we
don't get enough of it. Guy, Brody Chapman and the
folks will be coming in here for a couple of seconds,
just talk to you with football and why the Southwest
Football League. I like it. We'll talk about it next.
We'll do it right here. Sean Salisbury Show. The Sewn

(01:37:20):
Salisbury Show continued, got some good friends of ours here
in studio. The president of the SFL, Joe Goalie and
also head coach of the SFL Oilers, Weldon Brown, join
us here in studio. Guys, appreciate time.

Speaker 7 (01:37:36):
And I mean, if you guys are sitting in front
of us, well that's got to mean well, good things,
because we're about to start kicking off and playing some football.

Speaker 11 (01:37:43):
Football's here Monday at the SFL. We're starting tackle practice
this Monday six to eight. If you're out there and
you're signed up, show up. If you haven't signed up,
show up and we'll get you signed up.

Speaker 4 (01:37:55):
And Joe Weldon for both of you guys, I know
because well our guy Brody Chapman, who's one of the
best people on the planet and loves this league. Somebody
comes up to you and says, well, let's start with you.
Somebody comes up to you and says why in the
world at a time but for me, guys, and I
was saying, precious the way we teach and mentor these
young kids right, well, why in the world, why the SFL?

(01:38:19):
Why should I play there? Man? The SFL is a
great organization.

Speaker 9 (01:38:23):
Man, people like Joe Gully and also Brody, they got
a team of people around us that are very, very supportive.
You know, we had great coaches like Kiara Johnson, who's
a two time Great Cup champion, no doubt. Actually I
won a Great Cup with Kiara Johnson.

Speaker 4 (01:38:38):
So that makes three of us. So I didn't win
it with him, but I won one too, So we
could sell the CFL while we're at it there. Well, yeah,
it's just Dakota Allen.

Speaker 9 (01:38:47):
I want to also speak about him too because he's
a Texas native as well played in the league. Man,
he's just we just got a great coaching staff, but
not let alone. We got great kids that's around us,
with supportive parents too. So I mean the league again
a sponsor and you're going to get great coaching. But
again I've done what I'm supposed to do as a
player in the athlete. So now we're just trying to

(01:39:09):
pass the towards to the younger generation.

Speaker 4 (01:39:11):
Joe, with this the importance of a fragile time for
not only the tackle football, you know, the injuries that
people are concerned with, but just the SFL. And you
talk about coach as well, and then Joe, you talk
about the people involved. How important when you're going through
the process of who's going to coach and who's going

(01:39:31):
to be involved, I would imagine with these kids and
how fragile it is personality wise. But also this is
the important part to time to be taught well and
the mentoring that goes with it. So with that, how
much time do you put into those guys that are
going to have their voice heard with these kids?

Speaker 11 (01:39:47):
Oh gosh, it's one of the most important things we do,
and we spend a significant part of our preparation every
season on that. You know, I think your your spot on.
I think safety is paramount, you know, and so we
do things from studying the latest, you know, kind of

(01:40:10):
improvements in tackling equipment, helmets, equipment, the whole nine yards,
and so you know, that's a focus for us for sure.
But I think the flip side of that is also
it's it's critically important for these young players to have

(01:40:32):
a place to play football. And we're not just a
football league. We've got cheer athletes as well. I think
we're going to be over nine hundred in participants this
this fall. Between cheer and football. We have flag football,
which you know is a growing sport. Our lower divisions

(01:40:53):
are all full our senior, which is seventh and eighth grade.
Flag is still open, but tackle is really kind of
passion of mine. I think as far as learning life lessons,
there's there's not, in my opinion, not a better sport
out there.

Speaker 4 (01:41:09):
It's the greatest parallel to the life I do.

Speaker 11 (01:41:11):
Absolutely you're gonna get punched in the mouth sometimes, but
you got to learn.

Speaker 4 (01:41:14):
More often than you are right, way more often than
you are right. And with that, and Dan, I know
you have a question, but and in talking, well, the
tackle football part of it, but I love the fact
that the flag football parts are part of it too,
because you know, some kids, let's face facts, you're in it.
Your parents and you have talked. You want to go
play for the first time, and you're a little nervous
because the dude's been playing for four he is maybe

(01:41:35):
a little bigger. I was big, But you know what,
I never played tackle football until I got to high school.
I played in the now, wouldn't play it gear. But
by buddies and I and world, don't you We go
to the park and write names on the back of
Fred bullittni cough and you're going beating each other's brains
in yet with with no pads on right and was thinking, well,
when am I gonna get colliflower ear as a nine

(01:41:55):
year old? But I learned how, And I think I've
said this on the show, so people out there that
you don't have to be intimidated. If you go play
flag football. You can learn all the great mechanics still
hold true. It just don't get to apply and when
you're tackling. But do you know where I learned to
read coverage? I didn't play. I went to seventh and
eighth grade. We played eleven man flag football where I
grew up in California because I was I was a

(01:42:16):
basketball and baseball guy. My junior high physical education teacher
talked me into it. And you know, at that point time,
even though you're big as a quarterback, I was always
watching coverage, you know what I'm talking about. I wasn't
looking at the past rush like sometimes put your best
athlete drops back, stares at it and makes a play
because he's so good, and some are afraid to get hit.
So I never had to worry about somebody running into

(01:42:37):
your knee blowing it out. And I learned how to
read coverage, so there's nothing no ego. There's nothing soft
about being a flag football player. You're learning and you
can actually learn the technique. And maybe I'm wrong for
you guys, but you can learn so much and then
you can make your transformation into it. So there's benefit
in both. Am I correct? Yes, I love the foundation
of it, just like you were saying it steps right.

Speaker 9 (01:43:00):
I mean, even with my son, he's not playing tackle yet,
but we're gonna go to work it slowly whenever he's ready.
Get the mental focus right, get your mentality right, and
then we'll throw the pads on once your body develops
a little bit more.

Speaker 4 (01:43:12):
So I love it and teaching proper tackling and how
to handle the football. Go ahead, down and again.

Speaker 7 (01:43:16):
Joe Gullie and Weldon Brown joined us here in studio,
and Weldon, you played football at the highest level college.
You're in the NFL, went up to the CFL too.

Speaker 4 (01:43:25):
For you. I mean, how much of an enjoyment is
this for you?

Speaker 7 (01:43:28):
Because I mean for everyone, you're told you don't get
to put the pads on, you don't get to put
the helmet on anymore, But you want to find a
way to be around the game, right right, right.

Speaker 9 (01:43:36):
No doubt about it. I got the thing that kind
of blessed me were the kids. You know, they were
gravitating towards the knowledge of the game. I was out
of the game for a little bit just to tend
to my kids and watch them grow. But football is
just something that's been a part of my nature, just
kind of taught me how to overcome different situations scenarios
because're gonna you're gonna face some adversity in life, and

(01:43:56):
like you said, it's just a mirror of how life is.

Speaker 4 (01:43:59):
That's how ball is in we just signed up for
it football. We don't want it life and kicking football. Yeah,
but you can kind of deliver. Yeah when I'm delivering.
The blow was after I threw a pick. So I'm
screwed all the way around, right, no doubt about it,
no doubt about it.

Speaker 9 (01:44:16):
But they they've they've given me my passion back, and uh,
I'm just glad I'm able to kind of pass towards
and give them what they want. And it's crazy because
we had a lot of first year guys, a lot
of guys that were raw, that never even touched the
field before, and they developed and we faced some teams
and you know, we went and get some teams and
they I guess they thought based off a presentation, excuse
me that uh, they were gonna slaughter us. But Dakota Allen,

(01:44:41):
Kia Johnson, myself, Joe, you know some parents that volunteered
coach chasing those guys. Man, we did a great job
with helping helping them with their fundamentals and man, when
they went into the game, man, they was hungry. There
was where they're supposed to be when there was some mechanics, yeah,
and the parts were like, man, you got an all
star team. I was like, you only knew when they

(01:45:01):
first walked in here they want it all start. We're
going to go to break.

Speaker 4 (01:45:04):
You guys can stick around another fifteen minutes, so Joe,
but before we do, for about a minute here, so
somebody could Scholarships available absolutely for kids that is financially needed.
And I know how important that is to you guys.

Speaker 11 (01:45:17):
So is there an availability for them, availability for scholarships
for tackle right now? Like I said, the flag divisions
are full, but not only enrollment fee scholarships, but also equipment.
We provide free equipment for first time players, any and
all first time players. If you want to play football

(01:45:38):
and you need help with equipment or the enrollment fee.
We've got a good group of donors who want to
make sure you're able to play football.

Speaker 4 (01:45:50):
Dur Guy, Brody Chapman, he knows how to find those guys, right,
he knows how to find him. Any care so much
more to talk about him. But scholarships, equipment, facilities matter too,
and the commitment that these coaches put in. We can
discuss that more. But great stuff with this SFL. Yeah,
and it's from the top, and it's not only the top,
but it's the volunteers that come in that also understand
as well.

Speaker 7 (01:46:10):
Absolutely, Joe Goalie and Weldon Brown in with us here
from the SFL. Continue with these guys. Next right here,
Sean Salisbury show. Hey, j Barn Barbecue, let's get that
in real quick. Dan, Okay, let's see right now, Jabarim,
could I imagine I'm going to keep these guys three
extra minutes and then I'm going to get in trouble
for keeping them into the break and then we're not
gonna do Jay Barron, but we're gonna do now best
barbecue place on the planet, great customer service, but the

(01:46:32):
venue and the indoor outdoor facility. Have bring your dog
on a Saturday if you want. But Red Sox coming
to town, it's a great excuse to go there. You
don't need one other than great food. And I judge
it by great food.

Speaker 4 (01:46:43):
How far I'm willing to drive, and man, I might
take it all the way to tim Buck too, if
that's what I need for. Jay Barren Barbecue phenomenal, great
customer service and you can get the joe A Spot
a menu. Now those guy what you want on there
if you want to eat like the Astros do, joe
a Spot is in there. So I love it and
I do test it against other barbecue spots and guess what.
They have separated themselves into the elite, but they don't

(01:47:05):
act to eat, but they serve great food. Well.

Speaker 7 (01:47:07):
Coach Sampson not only does this show there, he also
eats there. And you've got it on the menu too
as well. You got the great brisket, you got the
great sauceage, you got ribs the size that you talk about.
Now that's way no, absolutely you won't. Speaking of football
tomorrow nights. As I've mentioned, our good buddy John McClean
and dam Paserini can be over there raising money for

(01:47:28):
the Central Texas flood relief and talking some football, getting
people fired up for the season. So go there, get
you some good barbecue, people talk football. Facility right there,
twenty two oh one Leland Street. Think about that real quick, Dan,
and you get talking football. So you get great football talk,
you get great food, and then you got the outdoor part,
the indoor part. I just don't know if there's a

(01:47:50):
better place to be. And if you like barbecue sauce, fine,
they got it. But when you walk out of a
barbecue place, if you haven't had the use sauce, you
know you're at the right spot.

Speaker 4 (01:47:58):
You leave there, but.

Speaker 7 (01:47:59):
Everybody's shaking if you leave there hungry, that's what you problem.
I was gonna say, you leave their hungry. That's on you.
It's not on Jbarm Barbecue. Haffey hor Rash. The whole
crew over there at Jbarn Barbecue do a great job.
Don't forget about those great drinks too. You got the
full service bar right there. You got the beer garden outside,
as Sean just told you about. Twenty two oh one
Leland Street. Jbar m Barbecue weekdays, weekend, never a bad

(01:48:20):
time to head on over to jbar M Barbecue right
there in Ndo.

Speaker 2 (01:48:25):
You're back.

Speaker 4 (01:48:26):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show. Get back at it.

Speaker 7 (01:48:31):
You know, you guys have had a lot of people
come through the program, but selfishly for me, one of them,
really good friend of mine, Scottie Zorn's was a coach
for you guys, and I know, still a name that
circles around SFL and just you know the impact that
he made there. But I mean just kind of talking
about what you guys have been talking about of coaching
and trying to make an impact on these kids. And

(01:48:52):
I mean, is that that's got to be probably the
first pillar of the program, right of Hey, you come
in here, it's about them, It's not about you.

Speaker 11 (01:48:59):
Absolutely the reason we do what we do, and and
and and let me back up and say the SFL
is a nonprofit.

Speaker 4 (01:49:07):
Uh, I was gonna say, since what you've been doing
since like two thousand and three or something.

Speaker 11 (01:49:11):
Two thousand and three, we're five oh one c three.
We obviously, you know, spend money on some coaching, and
you have to to get some quality coaching, and that's
what we want to provide as a quality experience with
organization itself. We're nonprofit and we're independent, and so you know,
our our reason, the kind of the administration, the reason

(01:49:35):
we show up every day is exactly what you're talking about.
It's for the kids. It's it's to get them this opportunity,
uh to be a part of a team, to be
part of something larger than themselves. And and honestly, I
love football because it's it's one of the last places
where there's just it's just honest, you know, it's there's

(01:49:57):
no una change.

Speaker 4 (01:50:00):
You can't fake it.

Speaker 11 (01:50:01):
You're out there and it's you against somebody else, you
line up across from them, and it's there's no other
place for young men to learn that skill anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:50:13):
And so it's it's such a phenomenal And you know,
I was able to get out there last and walk
around and just watch you guys do your thing. It
was awesome facilities. People always want to know about that.
Weldon tell us about them, and Joe you can chime
in as well.

Speaker 9 (01:50:24):
Yeah, they got great feels equipment, We got plenty of equipment,
but we got all the right twos to get the
job done.

Speaker 4 (01:50:30):
You know. So the kids, again, I think they're blessed.

Speaker 9 (01:50:33):
We got the right foundation, you got the right pieces
around you, So it only makes you better when everything
from the head down is is on points.

Speaker 4 (01:50:42):
So I love that. And it's sf l t X
dot org is where you can go to sign up. Now,
Joe and Weldon both, one is time commitment for the kid?
What's that look like for your team? And what is
the is there a cutoff? And I know you guys
go through a conditioning week as well, which is next
week right the eleventh, it starts, and so the time

(01:51:03):
commitment for the kid and what would they're what they're
going to be putting into it? And secondly for you guys,
and you both can take one of them, either one
you want. Joe, what is the the the cutoff for
signing up to get these kids into this league? Yeah,
thanks for that. You know, our cutoff for tackle is
still open. Like I said earlier, the lower flag divisions

(01:51:26):
or full at this point except for the seventh and
eighth grade division, which is what you'd referred to if you,
you know, want to play football but you're not ready
for tackle. That seventh and eighth grade we call it
our senior division. Flag division is still open, but you've
got to sign up basically today by Friday for tackle.

(01:51:46):
We're going to have that division open until Monday, and
so if if you haven't signed up, please do so.
If you can't figure out how to sign up, show
up for the conditioning week Monday and we'll get you
signed up. The facilities.

Speaker 11 (01:52:01):
I know where that will got to address, thirty six
hundred West Belfort, Houston, Texas. We can far from NRG right,
we can see NRG uh standing on the field, so
we're we're in the shadow of NRG all right.

Speaker 4 (01:52:15):
Well, and I'm a parent coming to you, and I
ask you, what's the number one thing my kid's gonna
take away when he's done with you?

Speaker 9 (01:52:23):
And we're gonna build him as a young man. First
thing with us is character. You know, we're gonna build
his character up. We're gonna build his confidence and also
keep instilling the passion. You know a lot of guys,
I've dealt with a lot of guys that lose their
pass to burnout. Yeah, so it has to be fun.
I'm not a drill sergeant out there. I'm We're out
there to help the kids, put them in situations where

(01:52:45):
they feel like they can.

Speaker 4 (01:52:46):
You're not winning a super Bowl and now you want
to win. Everybody wants to win, but you're not winning
a super Bowl at ten or twelve years old, right right,
right right, And again, like you got a first year player.

Speaker 9 (01:52:56):
You know, maybe he's scared the tackle or scared the hit,
but byt week two, week three, he's like one of
the most dominant players on defense for whatever reason.

Speaker 4 (01:53:03):
Right he tapped in And so that's what we want.

Speaker 9 (01:53:05):
We want we really focus on developer, developing the kid
and making sure he can walk away from the game.

Speaker 2 (01:53:11):
Love.

Speaker 7 (01:53:11):
I absolutely a couple more minutes with Joe Gollie and
Weldon Brown from the SFL here in studio, and you know,
well you're.

Speaker 4 (01:53:18):
Talking Southwest Football League. Yes FL t X dot org.
Get signed up quickly and get yourself involved in a
difference making league and get on the field. You might
like it.

Speaker 7 (01:53:27):
But I mean, you, Shawn and me talked about this
all the time, and I know that you know this
is you know, once you're done, it's what you remember.
It's the locker room, you know, having that bond with
those guys in there. But then also too, isn't there
a part of you too where you were talking about
the conditioning that's part of it, like where like you
you don't miss going through it, but like you remember, hey,
we all did it, Like we all had to do

(01:53:49):
the updowns.

Speaker 4 (01:53:50):
We all had to get on the line to get
through the line.

Speaker 7 (01:53:53):
It's worth it, right, I mean, like where it's just
like the collective, like we're all being calcified because you know,
like this sucks, but it's like we get that it's
a greater goal.

Speaker 4 (01:54:02):
Oh yeah, man. Just the conditioning part of it, you know,
it helps developmental focus.

Speaker 9 (01:54:07):
You know when stuff get hard and you get tired
and oxygen like tapping into your brain. It's kind of
like do I let my technique whither away or do
I focus on what I've learned and continue to keep pushing.
Like I said, the game is still like life, you
know what I mean. Like it's some moments where I
feel like I'm not gonna make it, but I am.
But the thing is is just making sure they're prepared

(01:54:28):
for whatever it is, and then we'll adjust as the
game keeps going.

Speaker 1 (01:54:32):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:32):
Adapted adjust is the whole story in life and football. Joe,
what's the commitment for the kid? Like a normal work week?

Speaker 11 (01:54:39):
So everything below our oilers program and our Oilers program.
We play in a private school conference, and so we'll
play Kincaid, Saint John's.

Speaker 4 (01:54:49):
Some of your kids have gone on to scholarships elsewhere.

Speaker 11 (01:54:52):
Yeah, the High Schooch is like to create off that
Oilers team, but that's the seventh and eighth grade team
below that. We play within the league pretty much. And
so what that looks like is it's going to be
two nights a week of practice. Those are a couple
hours long, yeah, about an hour forty five each and
then after that you're gonna play one game a week
and you're either gonna play on Friday night or Saturday morning.

(01:55:14):
And so that's the full time commitment for the younger kids.

Speaker 4 (01:55:17):
For the older and your Sunday games, that's family church,
all the stuff they want to.

Speaker 11 (01:55:21):
Do onc and we're done on Saturday by lunch. Okay,
we want to give you your your Saturday afternoons, lash
evening and Sunday off. And so for the Oilers that's
pretty much Monday through Thursday. You're going to practice four
days a week, Monday through Thursday, and then when you
start playing games, we play on Thursdays typically.

Speaker 4 (01:55:41):
I love middle school.

deserves it because he is dedicated to making things happen.
So good. Thank thanks to Weldon and Joe for coming

(01:58:48):
in and good for us because we got our good
buddy back. We got Chris Gordy. Oh, speaking of fat cats,
I was going to say, I mean hang out Kennedy
from Nantucket and that's what it was going to say.
Over under. How many lobster roles do you think he's
wearing glasses today because he's still reeling from the trip.

Speaker 12 (01:59:05):
Yeah, a little too much clam chowda and lobster rolls
up there. But yeah, yeah, we were up there, went
did a Boston trip. We were up there with that
Astro series and that was a lot of fun. I mean,
tons of Astros fans. I can't tell you how many
people were up there.

Speaker 4 (01:59:19):
Were you got to see Correa back in the game, yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:59:22):
Got We were right there. Got to see him in
the uniform for the first time. And it was funny
when they were doing was that Friday Night's game when
they were doing the player intros and they introduced Carlos Correa.
You know, the Red Sox fans over here were booing,
but our whole section it was all Astros. They were screaming,
they were going nuts, and it was like, wow, this

(01:59:42):
is this is pretty cool to have have him back
in the fold and again just criticy Astros fans. And
we talked to a couple of people that went up
there for the Red Sox series. We're gonna stay up
there and vacation and then go to New York for
the series this weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:59:57):
I'm my gosh, that's a that's a trip. So for
a hell of a trip though, Yeah, I mean, heck,
forty five, hop on the train. You can get there quickly.
To that whole Northeast corridor gives you a lot of
great sports in baseball. And Gordie older man, real quick,
before we get into baseball, how did your wife like Fenway?
And it was pretty cool. There's some in the houses,
there's there's a little bit of money where you were

(02:00:18):
and when it comes to the house shore life. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:00:21):
We spent the last few days at Cape Cod that'll uh.
I had to come back to put in more hours
so turn some more money to go back up there.
But no, it uh, it was interesting. They were so nice,
all the fans and it was a it was a
complete contrast to when we went up there a couple
of years ago for the playoff series in the ALCS,
and I mean they were all drunk and talking trash

(02:00:41):
and all this, and this time, I mean there was
a little trash talking, you know. One of the guys
like we've about to sweep yeah, bro, And I said,
I said, oh, that's cool. I said, well the Astro
was still in first place, so you guys are still
fighting for a playoffs.

Speaker 4 (02:00:52):
But he goes, damn, you're right. Yeah, he goes, hey,
he goes go beat those Yankees this weekend, you know.
So it was it was really I was.

Speaker 12 (02:01:00):
I was taken aback by how nice the Boston folks
were for a regular season series.

Speaker 4 (02:01:04):
But that ball.

Speaker 12 (02:01:06):
It's very funny, you know how we're very torn here
on do you tear down the Astrodome? They're very torn.
Half the people we talked to up there, like, you
know what, look, Fenway's historic, but it's time for upgrades.
I mean, you're sitting shown your knees are in into
the seat in front of you. It's like this was
built in nineteen ten or.

Speaker 4 (02:01:22):
Whenever you're like the wrong seat, you can't see because
there's a there's an ipole right in front of you,
so you literally have to lean into the person's lap
next to you while your knees are in your throat.
But I love it and I don't want one change
to it.

Speaker 12 (02:01:35):
But that's the other half, the rather half of the
fans are like, don't you dad, that's sacrilege.

Speaker 4 (02:01:39):
You know, they're all that.

Speaker 12 (02:01:40):
So, but it's kind of funny. I still go back
to theo they used to say that about. I went
to old Yankee Stadium and it was like, this is
a palace, this is Mickey Mantle, this is we will
never tear this down.

Speaker 4 (02:01:50):
They tore it down. Now you go to the New
Yankee Stadum, go this is nice. Oh you want luxury
seating and with nice play. I mean you could do
that at Fenway and by the way, like there's no parking.
It's not in a great spot. So you know, I
gotta take the train or uber something to get there.

Speaker 12 (02:02:07):
In Atlanta, I go, this is pretty damn nice. Old
Brave Field was okay.

Speaker 4 (02:02:11):
But like if you can get over the sentimental part, yeah,
you can't think that the monster and the quirks, but
you just start to build it up. That add sweets
and all the other stuff. Pretty cool. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:02:23):
It the other thing that stands out to me, and
this is just it's it's eye popping and it makes
you appreciate living the city like Houston, where we are
so diverse. Do you go to Boston, You're like, did
I just step off the Mayflower?

Speaker 4 (02:02:34):
Like it is it is very white.

Speaker 12 (02:02:38):
You think it is mean, and yet they're very left
leaning and progressive. Yet it's like, but you're you're not.
It doesn't seem like you're very accepting about your cultures
out here.

Speaker 4 (02:02:49):
And you go to Cask and flagging behind on Lambsdown
and you get and Nelson's great beer drinking, fun and
entertain it's a great place. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (02:02:58):
Well, I'm just saying, you go to a game of
die park, You're seeing people of every different culture and race,
and I mean.

Speaker 4 (02:03:03):
It's it's a mix of everybody here.

Speaker 7 (02:03:06):
Why do you exists in Boston? That's for sure? The
one ahead a gang that's right there, you go. They
were running around down in Southeas and a passionate sports town.
So I'm glad you got to see that, and your
wife got to see it. She like Fenway though, Yeah, yeah,
she liked it.

Speaker 12 (02:03:18):
And then we did a tour of a TD garden
that was cool to see a lot of Bruins and
Celtic's history. And then uh, and then we drove up
to Foxboro get to see you know that that's that place.
They've built a whole compound out there with restaurants and
sports bars and all kinds of stuff outside of Foxboro.

Speaker 4 (02:03:34):
Sty when I was going there and covering games, because
being we cover them all the time. You're driving there
and you know, you get in and all of a sudden,
there's the stadium plopped in the neighborhood right just and
you had to drive far and wide to get to
You got to go back to town to find yourself.
Now they've they've everything around, hotel, everything, and that's there.

Speaker 12 (02:03:54):
Yeah, but it's gille. That's nice, dude. They've got a
whole Patriots Hall of Fame. You want to see Tom
Brady's jockstrap from two thousand and one. I mean, they
got everything in there. It's crazy Brady wore that.

Speaker 5 (02:04:04):
No way.

Speaker 7 (02:04:05):
Gordy joins us every single Tuesday and Thursday courtesy at
Carboch Brewing. We talked about this a little bit earlier.
You win two out of three in this last series,
after getting swept over the weekend in Boston, and you
go into this series against Yankees, you're only two games
up on the Mariners.

Speaker 4 (02:04:19):
What's your concern level? You know?

Speaker 12 (02:04:22):
Look, I said after the rough weekend in Boston, and
here's the thing. I need most abstrass fans to take
a step back. Boston's doing this to everybody right now.
They've won one either last ten. We were watching the
local news, like the Red Sox have won fifteen of
seventeen at home here and so it's like they've been
doing this. So again it sucked. It wasn't fun losing

(02:04:42):
the way you lost, but you lost to a good team.
Going to Miami, I said, go take two out of three.
You won the first two. You know, it always leaves
a bat tasting amount when you lose the third one.
But at least mission accomplished. You won two out of three.

Speaker 4 (02:04:55):
There.

Speaker 12 (02:04:55):
Now I think you go up to Yankee Stadium and again,
mentality needs to don't get swept. You know, win at
least one. But if you couldn't win two, it a
three awesome. You'll feel really good coming back home with
Boston coming here on Monday. So that's kind of where
I am right now. Again, I've got a buddy who's
a big Seattle fan. He's like, we're coming, We're come.
I say, yeah, y'all, y'all. Only you know you tend

(02:05:17):
to only turn it on when y'all are trailing, When
when the marriers are out, you know, with the big lead,
it's like y'all can't hold on to it. So it's
almost like do you want to be the hunted versus
the hunter?

Speaker 4 (02:05:27):
So if you have a pucker factor. What is it?

Speaker 9 (02:05:30):
I mean?

Speaker 4 (02:05:30):
And Dan's at seven. I'm okay right now.

Speaker 12 (02:05:32):
I thought Eric Getty, look, it was a rough first return,
but the strikeout stuff was there, so I'm encouraged by that.
I think he's gonna settle back in. But I think
I'm I think I'm okay right now. I'm not hitting
the panic button.

Speaker 4 (02:05:46):
Just shit. Yeah, it's hard to even the other two games.
They're still in first place. There should be no panic,
but there's concerned. You just want to get people healthy
and get going, and they're gonna have six straight games
of playoff atmosphere baseball here these next six.

Speaker 7 (02:05:58):
You just like to have a little bit more padding.
That's that's all it is. Since we missed you on Tuesday,
can we get a two fer? Do you got brass
things to do?

Speaker 4 (02:06:04):
Oh? Yeah? Yeah? To hang out? Yeah, I'd love you
to love for sure. Absolutely, Chris Corny Cursey. I want
to hear about Oh, I want to hear about whose
mansion you squatted at and stayed there? We go. He
didn't have anewer spray out. So you only love squatters
when you're the one that gets too say yeah, yeah,
it's beneficial. For you.

Speaker 7 (02:06:21):
It's good with but when it's you know, they're on
your place, then it's you know, yeah, you want to
start spraying manure, so we'll do that here. It's uh,
it's Sean Salisbury Show here on a Thursday Sports Talk

Speaker 1 (02:07:51):
There's a lot happening, and he's got a lot to
say about you. Sean Salisbury continues on seven nineteen.

Speaker 7 (02:08:00):
Carbock Brewing joins us every single week, Curtsy of Carbock
Brewing in the studio with us, and you know, cam
Smith was somebody else we talked about a little bit earlier,
and a couple of good hard hit balls yesterday, some
hits in the Miami series.

Speaker 4 (02:08:15):
But overall, though Gordy.

Speaker 7 (02:08:17):
I mean, you know, you get to that situation, was
the bases loaded in the eighth inning yesterday, was there
a part of you that was kind of like, Joe,
go to the bench here, like this is not gonna end.

Speaker 12 (02:08:27):
Well, no, because he had he had made good contact.
He had that one that I thought was gonna get out.
But you know, then it was like, Okay, it's not
gonna get out, but this is clearly gonna be a
double and the freaking center fielder runs it down, makes
an incredible play. So just baseball. Sometimes those things happened.
If he was if he looked absolutely clueless up there
at the plate, then yeah, I'd say sit him down
for a couple of days. But he had some heartet contact.

(02:08:49):
It's just you gotta keep fighting through it, man. It's
just it's the growing pains of being a rookie up here.
And I'll tell you, man, I mean, so the first
day I'm at Fenway and we're waiting for the Astros
clubhouse to open, and we're standing outside. Chaz Or Korwick
is hanging out, We're talking with him, and out comes
a group of the guys, uh, the the young guys.
Colton Gordon and I think it was Jason, Alexander, a

(02:09:12):
few of them. They were going out to sign the Monster.
The Monster, you know, all the rookies always do well.
They this whole group of them. They go and they
and they walk off. Well a few minutes later, Cam
Smith comes out of the clubhouse and Channel I think
it was Channel of Room goes, hey, you're not going
to sign the Monster. He goes, oh, no, they are
they going to do that? No, we have a we
have a team meeting in ten minutes. I can't be

(02:09:34):
late for that. And it's just you see that that
honest you know, he's like a kid and and you
love it. You love that from him because he really
is like, oh no, I can't be late for that meeting,
Like coach is going to be madly you know. It's
like that kind of thing. So you just there's a
little naivety naivity to it. But it makes you just
realize how young he is and just he's still growing.
I think he's going to be awesome. He's just got

(02:09:55):
to battle through this.

Speaker 4 (02:09:56):
Okay, and that and with you and answering with Dan
had asked you let me push that even forward more
and battle through it as a way. I'm a big believer,
and I understand at times you got to send a
guy down or get him other work. But I'm a
big believer. I've seen enough to know that he can
handle the good and the bad. I'm and I told
Nani's I'm under the belief and under the if I'm

(02:10:18):
managing him or the general manager, which I'm not, I'm
making him play through this.

Speaker 5 (02:10:25):
Now.

Speaker 4 (02:10:25):
You may sit him down for a game, depending on
matchups and stuff, and I don't think you have to
make him. I think he will embrace it. But I
think we've gotten to the point now that the best
thing that may will that may end up happening to
him in his career because he's mentally tough enough to
handle it. I think is going through this at some
point in your career. You're going through it all the time.

(02:10:46):
I see it with young quarterbacks. Some are overwhelmed, but
some like you get kicked in the teeth. We've talked
about Aikman, We've talked about guys and they respond, I
gotta find out And my answer I think is gonna
It's gonna come out on the side of wise move.
Now you may not hit him in on the top
of the order. You're not gonna lead him off until
he gets going. He's still above two fifteen, he's still
got gold Glove potential right field for a guy who's

(02:11:07):
new at the position, Gordy, don't you let him fight
through it and just you may have to be substitute
at times for him, but he's not going down.

Speaker 12 (02:11:14):
Yeah, if it gets really bad, i'd say, to the
point where he's losing confidence, it's in an oh for
thirty slump where he's got you know, fifteen strikeouts and
it's just it's really bad.

Speaker 4 (02:11:23):
Then you go, all right, we got to say it,
and I can say, do you want to go down
and get some bats there and get it back and
almost to the point where you're not I'm not playing
empowerment where you're deciding as a rookie, but I do
think that you got to find out about that, and
you knew there was going to be you know, peaks
and valleys throughout the season, right.

Speaker 12 (02:11:39):
Sure, it's every every rookie has these moments. It's just
you know, he wowed us so much. He was so
red hot in spring training and that's what helped him
earn the earn the spot, and then even first month
or two of the season he comes out, You're like, Wow,
this kid's not playing like a rookie.

Speaker 4 (02:11:54):
It's probably why we're more critical because he made it look.

Speaker 12 (02:11:56):
Too good and now he's and now he's playing like
a rookie, and well, what's wrong with him?

Speaker 4 (02:11:59):
Well, this is just it's the ebbs and flows.

Speaker 12 (02:12:01):
So yeah, like I said, barring an epic collapse where
this thing starts to crater, uh, I know, he's only
got a couple of hits so far in them off
of of August. But yeah, I think he's just gonna
he's gonna battle through this. They'll picking and choose. Hey,
here's a day to give him off or whatever, and
you got some You've got some options. And particularly when
Jake Myers gets back, because you've got Hayesu Sanchez, he's

(02:12:23):
gonna play every day, Taylor, Tremmel, they're playing a ton
I mean, so, I mean, Chaz is getting his reps.
So it's gonna be a good problem to have when
when Jake does get back. But yeah, I just uh again,
I think I think the world of Camsmith. I think
he's gonna be awesome. He's just gone through a rough patch.

Speaker 7 (02:12:39):
And that's a conversation we had a couple of days ago.
Gordy was, let's just say Jordan's back, Myers is back. Well,
then that means a couple of guys need to go
off the roster. I mean we're looking at a you know,
chance here where when Dana and them have to make
that decision that a couple of good players might be
dfad and have to go play somewhere else.

Speaker 12 (02:12:58):
Well, yeah, I mean, I think it's gonna come to dude,
you know, do you like what you've seen out of
Tremmel or do you stick with Chaz who's been here
a while, you know, like it's I think he'd come
down to one of those tough decisions. By the way,
I had a great conversation with Chas McCormick who told
me how Nerve racking trade the deadline day was. He said,
it's been like that the last couple of years for him,
where he's just he doesn't know what's happening. He's like,

(02:13:20):
he's like, I hadn't talked to my agent, so I know.
He goes, I see we've traded for Creay, We've traded
for Sanchez. He goes, crap, I'm going to either Minnesota
or Miami. And he's like, then find out, no, you
weren't traded. So it is, it's it's tough for these
ballplayers that, you know, when you're kind of on that
line of you're not an everyday player, you could be
moved at any given moment. But uh, chatting with him,

(02:13:41):
I said, I said, would you rather be an everyday
starter on a bad team or be a platoon guy
on a team like this? He goes, dude, I want
another ring. He goes, I don't give a damn how
much a player. He goes, I want another ring.

Speaker 4 (02:13:52):
So so you're saying Cam Newton wouldn't fit well with
that question, right, No, Chad. Chad is a good dude man.
He's easy to root for. His it around a while.

Speaker 12 (02:14:00):
But again, like, that's gonna be one that's gonna come,
like you mentioned it when the numbers crunch. I mean,
the easy one is if they need to cut ties
with Taylor Trevelli, he cut ties with him, but he's
been okay for you. If he gets a couple more
hits and he gets hot, they might say, all right,
well maybe we let Chasco.

Speaker 4 (02:14:17):
There's always that emotional side that says McCormick's been through
some times with us, so I get that. Yeah, And
obviously they still think highly enough of him that he
didn't get traded, which is a good thing. And I like,
I like his attitude of wanting to win. All right, Gordy,
I say to you, Lance mccullors, give me your overall
thoughts right now.

Speaker 12 (02:14:36):
I like Dana is pretty I mean, it sounds like
he's getting closer to going and make a rehap start
and all that. But yeah, I like he didn't really
answer your question right yeshoulday about is he gonna move
to the bullpen? But I think that's kind of.

Speaker 4 (02:14:50):
Saying it.

Speaker 12 (02:14:50):
I think the writings on the wall there are particularly
if let's hope Araghetti settles in his next downing and
it's much better. Javier is literally he's days away from
coming back. So when those guys get back here and
if they settle into their grooves with Hunter with Fromber,
you know, Cole Gordon's been okay, Like I think, yeah,
I think the the writings on the wall there that Lance,

(02:15:12):
there's not a spot for you here, so you know,
maybe they do something like they did yesterday where it's like,
you know, maybe he's like a piggyback guy comes in
out of the bullpen and pitches three four innings whatever.
But I don't know, man, I'm optimistic. I hope he's
gonna be okay. They're saying it was just the blister,
and you know, I'm trying to read between the lines.

Speaker 4 (02:15:32):
Was it something else? Was that this wasn't that sounds
like it was just the blister. So we'll see. Do
you think we're gonna be seeing that a lot?

Speaker 7 (02:15:37):
I mean, we got what we got out of Arraghetty yesterday,
and we'll see what we get next week out of
hoaviy Air. But when you do get France back, you
do get Garcia back. That there is a little bit
of Hey, you guys get us three four, those guys
will get us two and then we get it.

Speaker 4 (02:15:51):
To the front of times. You may only need to
get one.

Speaker 12 (02:15:53):
Right, it's a good problem to have. I mean, keep
this in mind, though, guys, there's a lot of seasons
still left to go. There's a lot of innings to
being to be eaten up.

Speaker 4 (02:16:01):
They may choose a.

Speaker 12 (02:16:02):
Time to go, you know, Hunter Brown, We're gonna skip
a start for you from her, We're gonna skip a
start just to keep them healthy and and uh, you
know usage not as.

Speaker 4 (02:16:12):
Standing that legal help them make that decision. Yeah, well,
I mean that would be great too.

Speaker 12 (02:16:16):
So that's the tough part here is you're starting to
get into a tight division race where games mean a lot,
but health is the most important thing you gotta be.
You want, I don't care if you're a wildcard team.
If you told me right now they're gonna be a
wild card team, but you're gonna be one hundred percent healthy.

Speaker 4 (02:16:30):
I'll take it. I'll take that.

Speaker 12 (02:16:31):
So that's that's the balance here is you want to
hang on to home field and and and being you know,
win the Al West and all that, but you also
want to be careful because you don't want to go
in as I don't know the two seed, but Hunter
Brown's out, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (02:16:45):
That's going to you know this, and so do you
dan A healthy team? Did is a wild card got
me a legitimate chance. A healthy especially with pitching that
you can go into somebody else's ballpark and whoop their ass.
Pitching will shut up every home crowd, right. But the
other side is so true, Gordy, oh man, you're you're
not healthy, but you won the division. Your your grounds
for elimination pretty quick, especially if it's a couple of

(02:17:07):
key players. Yeah, getting them. I can't wait to see
what the picture looks like, Gordy when they are healthy,
if they get to full strength.

Speaker 12 (02:17:13):
This year, and it's look, they may not get to
one hundred percent, but this thing could. Like I said,
I if Arragetty and Javier Settle can get back and
settle into their groove, and when you get your on in,
Jake Myers back, just give me those.

Speaker 4 (02:17:27):
Four and you're playing. You're playing with a loaded deck.
I mean, that is as good as any team. Then
you think about what Gordy just said, and think about
what we're all saying, and kudos to him that we
are pining for Jake Myers's bat back in the line.
Who knew? Now, honestly, I mean most importantly, he's hitting
seventy five points higher than you expected him. He just is.

(02:17:50):
I remember when Steve Sparks came on, he said, listen,
if he hits one ninety but plays gold gloves citterfield,
which he does, I'm in.

Speaker 12 (02:17:58):
That's he said in the one hundred points, Gayer. The
other thing to watch with with Correa is is he's
been great so far. Uh in my opinion, even even
some some outs are hard hit He said, smoking it
they Brian mc taggart said this when I was up
at Fenway. He said, get him back with Cintrone and
the guy and the hitting coaches here. That's an underrated storyline.

(02:18:19):
Like maybe in Minnesota they weren't the best at at
telling him. Now he's back with the guys were he
was his best. He's back with those voices. Who knows,
maybe he starts getting red hot here as an astro again.
And and that's another great thing.

Speaker 4 (02:18:33):
He lives to God's ears.

Speaker 7 (02:18:34):
Man, hopefully, Gordy, every week you're brought to us by
Carl Bock Brewing, And I mean, I know that you're
probably pining for a Crawford Baker two and a good
weekend for it.

Speaker 12 (02:18:43):
Yeah, I'm sick of those New England ales and all
that other crap they have that they're in Boston.

Speaker 4 (02:18:47):
They could really do some crawls. What's that beer that
they used, the Paul Revere and not actually sam Adam
Blueberry ale.

Speaker 12 (02:18:58):
It was like, come on, man, I need. I need
a Crawford Bok. But it's going to be back here
in Houston, Astros. We'll be back home on Monday. We'll
be back at dyke In and join the Crawford Bock.
But how about this Saturday, Carbock Brewing will be hosting
an official Astros watch party. You'll have Orbit, you'll have
the Shooting Stars, you'll have the World Series trophies. Also
a chance for people to win an exclusive and limited

(02:19:19):
hot Padillo Astros hat. I don't know if you guys
saw those pictures that came out there, but really cool
limited edition hats that you're gonna have your chance to win.
So come on out there, bring the family. Should be
a great look. It's not oppressively hot yet it's hot,

Speaker 12 (02:19:52):
Pizza and pints of course is right there. You get
the restaurant. I love the burgers. I mean, plenty of
reason you get out to Carbock this Saturday, no doubt
about it.

Speaker 4 (02:20:00):
Chris Gordy Brother, thank you.

Speaker 7 (02:20:01):
Thanks every single Tuesday and Thursday with us here on
The Sean Salisbury Show. Courtesy of Carboch Brewing. We talked
about it a little bit earlier, but I want to
talk about it again. Chance to be the ultimate heels boy.
Isn't that fun?

Speaker 4 (02:20:13):
We'll talk about it here. It is The Sean Salisbury Show,
Sports Talk seven ninety Trawealth dot com pop on in
their local trusted financial fiduciary. Listen when you say wealth
advisor or money manager or financial fiduciary, I think we
all think I know I did years ago. Oh that's
above my pay grade. No they're not. What would be

(02:20:37):
the mistake is not hiring somebody or getting a free review,
which your first. It's a free review to find out about. Okay,
what do I need to retire? What's it take? What's
this retirement road look like? You hear Jeff Junior on
here all the time. The man who started. He is
a veteran. He is. It's a family owned and veteran
led by Jeff, and the group's fantastic and it feels

(02:20:58):
so big yet it's boots, but the bandwidth is awesome. Now,
think about the things you plan for in your life
and the effort you put into it and the savings
you put into it. Are you doing that for retirement?
It's three four six three seven one thirty three thirty
three four six three seven one thirty three thirty for
your free review? Are you if you're close to retirement,

(02:21:19):
near it even more thinking about it? Or in retirement?
Are you sure you got enough money to retire and
stay retired? What if you want to have money, say
well ten years and I want to have the flexibility
to go back and start a new company? Are you
prepared for that? Did you No one understand four to
one k roll over any other product or service that
they have. Do you understand that people are living longer?

(02:21:40):
Do I have enough to retire and stay there? All
those options that you want? The one thing I do
know that your portfolio matters as a fiduciary too, trading wealth.
So if you want to do it right and you
want expertise, lean on them. Di wy is great, but
at di wires we all need somebody else who's got
a little more expertise than we do. And Traswealth has that.

(02:22:03):
It's Trasanwealth dot Com, Traswealth dot com. Peace of mind,
security important to you, retirement important to you, and live
in the life you want. Let Trasanwealth help Trasianwealth dot Com,
Trajanwealth dot Com advisory services off through trasan Wealth LLC
and SEC Registered Investment advisor, paid advertisement. And the Sean

(02:22:23):
Salisbury Show continues.

Speaker 7 (02:22:27):
The chance that the Astros have this weekend because I
feel like, you know the parallels from and you hope
that history repeats itself. Where the team one of the
two that was the most vocal about you in twenty
twenty after twenty seventeen came out to the Yankees were
one of them. Well, the Dodgers, their fans, I'll screw
the Astros. We're gonna beat them up if we see

(02:22:48):
them in our stadium. All of those different things, fake baseball,
tough guy talk like we hear all the time.

Speaker 4 (02:22:52):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:22:53):
But going into that series, the thought was, and I
think even Gordy we had mentioned it where it was like, hey,
you know, if you don't get swept, that's a success.

Speaker 4 (02:23:02):
Well, not only did you not get swept, you swept them.
And in this case, right here, the heat underneath Aaron
Boone's seat is pretty hot. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:23:12):
But this weekend, I mean, if you're the Astros, you've
got twofold, You've got where you could be able to
if you take it.

Speaker 4 (02:23:19):
To them this weekend. This is your ultimate heel.

Speaker 7 (02:23:22):
This is this is, this is Sunday. Aaron Boone's at
the podium, Aeron, Are you worried about your job? That's
that's the questions he's getting afterwards.

Speaker 4 (02:23:30):
What's your answer? What do you think his answer would be? No?

Speaker 7 (02:23:32):
His answer would be no, no, and and and the
Yankee fans I talk with, they're like, no, he's not
gonna get fired. How Hall doesn't have the stones to
do that. And you know it's one way or another.
They're gonna find a way to have a graceful exit
to this. But again, like I've talked about the booing,
the fl two of eight chance, all those different types
of things, You've got an opportunity and I think you

(02:23:53):
set the tone tomorrow. You score early in that game two,
three runs, four runs, something like that. I'm getting greedy.
I mean, I don't care, and I understand that I've
crushed this lineup for the longest time and we'll continue
to do so until they live up to the expectations
that we know that they can. But you do that,
you start getting the boo birds going where it's not
for al tuo ba, it's not for Korea, it's for them.

Speaker 4 (02:24:16):
And you don't even have to say anything as an
ad you know, just handle your business. You don't have
to go. This team does a good job of not antagonizing.
They antagonize by the way they play.

Speaker 7 (02:24:25):
Excuse me, lea football off with your face mask and
baseball talk with your bats, and they do.

Speaker 4 (02:24:30):
And you know the best way to do it, and
you're exactly right. The best way to do that is
to go dominate them. And when they are booing their
own booing you is a sign of respect visiting team
booing your own crowds aside of oh gosh, we're there
now and listen. Yankee fans have heard it at some
point during I remember was it two or three years ago,

(02:24:53):
first series of the season or the first game of season.
They were booing Stanton because he was like struck out
the first three times or whatever it was. It's like, oh,
we only got one hundred and sixty one left in
your boot him after two or three abouts. They're passionate
and it's good. But the best way to quiet it
down and flip the script, as you're talking about, is
go dominate them. And this is a huge series followed

(02:25:13):
by another huge series here in Houston, and I mean,
and it's a team too, in the Astros that really
could use that type of boost right now, because it
feels like ever since they came back home from LA
that it's just been slip sliding a little bit.

Speaker 7 (02:25:27):
You know, you're up by five, Now you're up by
four and a half. Now you're now you're only up
by three and a half. I mean it's a little
unpaved where now. I mean you're only two games up.
I mean, a bad series this weekend, and you're looking
at the Mariners as opposed to looking behind at the Mariners.

Speaker 4 (02:25:43):
Yeah, they're close to standon shoulder to shoulder with you,
but they're going to be riding shotgun if if they
win two and you lose to and they got a
chance to gain a half a game today, it's okay,
what we expected I could. I can actually tell you
I believe they've overachieved this year considering the injuries. And
now you've got a chance you got to be getting
and while you're waiting to get healthy, be giddy, but

(02:26:05):
don't get too giddy that you forget you still got
games to play while you're waiting for those guys to
get healthy. And Danny knows this, Joe Spot knows this,
and this team listen. If there's one thing you cannot question,
there's a lot of things you can question with in sports,
and when things are going good and going bad and
somewhere in between, is you can't question that. Every time
we do question it, their resilience of them finds a

(02:26:26):
way to get it going again. Instead, Dude, they've been
in first place for how long this year? How long?
The Astros the majority of it? Yeah, I mean I
want to say that the middle of April maybe even Okay,
that's what I'm saying, So ten games in, I don't
I don't know, but it's just that's that's a hell
of a long time. And now you want me to

(02:26:46):
go do you want me to do the rest of
the divisions. I mean, we're people. It's fluctuate here and
fluctuate there. The Rays and the Red Sox were the
most in vogue popular pick going in that one. You
watch that now the Blue Jays have it. Look what
Kansas City's done a little bit at times this year.
You take a look in the Nation League. The Dodgers
were getting challenged by San Francisco, and I mean you

(02:27:08):
start to look around and to stay in first place
considering the circumstances, It's been pretty.

Speaker 7 (02:27:14):
Impressive, for sure, and you hope that the Astros can
find a way to be able to do that. All Right, Sean,
if I tell you that this guy is a man's man,
I think you're probably going to agree with me.

Speaker 4 (02:27:24):
And boy, he proved it yesterday. I like it.

Speaker 7 (02:27:26):
Yeah, we're gonna talk about him right here. It is
a Shawn Salisbury show, Sports Talk seven to ninety. But

Speaker 4 (02:28:01):
You know.

Speaker 7 (02:28:02):
Let you know, I mean, remember what Vince Vaughn on
Curby Your Enthusiasm said when he pulled out the flask
and they're like, hey, what is said? No, you know,
it's a little bit of swing juice, just something to
get you feeling good on the golf course so you're
able to go low that day. Well, in this case,

Speaker 1 (02:29:35):
This is the Sean Salisbury show sales.

Speaker 4 (02:29:40):
That's goodful. What do you think he'd say about that?
Would he agree? He would agree? Oh he would. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:29:47):
He's a lover, not a fighter. I mean same here
for the most part. Unless you get disdained Dan.

Speaker 4 (02:29:53):
Which sometimes you got. Sometimes you got to be a fighter.

Speaker 8 (02:29:55):
No, you have to.

Speaker 4 (02:29:55):
You got to defend your peeps and stuff. I'm wonderful
Matt's listener. I wish you she'd walk by and so
he can get him. Justss over that you've unequivocally said
you are kicking his ass, whether it's in the mess
all or it's in the yard. You got to let
people know. So if we decided to have a charity
event three three minute rounds, hopefully you guys wouldn't be dead.

(02:30:18):
I've got the power, end, I got the speed. Three
three minute rounds, ten point must system is in effect,
the three knockdown rules in effect. Doctor Ferdy Pacheco will
be there, the fight doctor. So you say in three
round three minute fight boxing rules, we can even say
five rounds three minutes to see I mean, and people

(02:30:38):
laugh at that. Have you ever boxed five rounds? Three
minutes will as you well know, you'll be throwing up
in a trash can because it's a tough sport. But
so will there be a knockout or will he last
five rounds? Three minutes? Now? And I think I'd put
him to the turf, to the canvas. Yeah, I put
him to the matt really awfully confident. I mean, do

(02:31:00):
do we know that Maddy might not have a quick left?
I don't know. He might he left handed, right handed?
I think he's left he is, so he might have
a you know that that you know, we talk about
the short stroke when it comes to uh not your
sex life, but you're you know your bat, don't the right?
A little short stroke and in the hitting zone where
you get back to the ball quick, you know, quick
with your bat to the ball. Hey, Eric Clapton said

(02:31:22):
it best man. It's in the way that you use it.
Right there you go? So it goes? Are you i
mean can you throw the can you throw a straight left?
I'm better with my right? Okay? Are you going to
set it up? Are you just wailing away? Right? Cross?

Speaker 7 (02:31:34):
I mean you go a little, you go some jabs.
You're gonna give him little some body blows. Yeah, maybe
maybe one of the because little rib k. That's the
thing too, is you know a lot of people think,
you know, you just go right, go right for the cabeza.
But a lot of times the the fight game, the
way it goes is the body. Yeah, like Canelo Alvarez.
One of his things that he does arms punches. The

(02:31:55):
arms deadens them up. Yeah, and then you keep him
down so you can get to the face. Like it's
like in makes martial arts. You know people, oh, what
are those kicks doing. I'll tell you what they're doing.
They're taking out their legs.

Speaker 4 (02:32:05):
If I'm the official, the referee, mills lane, bow tye
and everything, right, I got to give you guys, you know,
rub your gloves together, give you the rules, and I
say no hitting in the mazutskies do Will there be
any low blows that I have to? Okay, back away, Dan,
back away. It wouldn't be me. Oh you so you
think Matt goes low blow? So you think Matt cheats

(02:32:26):
in the fight, I would think so, yeah. Really, yeah,
you've got to go. You've got to Russian judge though
this isn't gymnastics.

Speaker 7 (02:32:32):
But you've got you've got to resort to unorthodox and
and probably uh you know, literally below the belt tactics.

Speaker 4 (02:32:38):
And yeah, I don't put it past I'm not even
here to defend himself. So you're saying he'd bet on you,
he deserves it, he'd bet on you in a fight.
Oh yeah, verse him. I mean so it's he'd he'd
probably take a dive just for that. So you're maybe
you're saying that he'd be me in the ring with
the gloves, being like, what what are you doing? I
thought we're doing this. I think that we head out
to Spindle Tap. I'll talk to Brody. We have we

(02:33:00):
can get a ring together and we raise money for
charity and get a bunch of people there, drink beer,
eat pizza, a brisket, ramen, and and get you and
Mattie ball game in five three minute rounds and see
how this comes out. We'll put what twelve ounce gloves.

(02:33:21):
We want to what they are, and we want to knockout. Okay,
we wrap it up and do it all and give
you guys like three or four months to train. You're kicking.
You said it's a knockout. We're not getting to the
fifth round, is what you're saying. But then it's also
though too, It's like, you know, do I have the
heart in meat? Because I I don't know if I
could be known for he's the guy that knocked out

(02:33:41):
Matt to an event like an event like that, you
have to there's money on the line, tripley. Where's your money? Yeah,
I can't pick against my partner. I got you too,
but I got you early because I'm not sure either

(02:34:02):
one of you are going to sustain five around. So
I would say you better come out and sprint across
the league like Mike Tyson Tyson did. He'd sprint across
knock like Michael spinks out like what seventy one seconds
or whatever. I think that that's probably what he's on you.
But Matt might be sneaky. He might be sneaky with

(02:34:23):
his you know, with with his with a like maybe
a right cross. I don't know. I can't wait to
hear his thoughts. So you're kicking his ass.

Speaker 7 (02:34:31):
He just got to take out after the man's man,
that is Mike Vrabel after he jumped into the middle
of a fight yesterday and bloodied himself up, all right,
And you.

Speaker 4 (02:34:38):
Know what, I love and drank May even said, he goes, oh,
you know, basically you don't want to get your coach here,
but the players love it because you know the guy
is one of you and he's willing to fight for you.
I like that.

Speaker 7 (02:34:49):
Sure, I'm gonna mull over my business plan for you
and Matt's fight. Well, time to do it, can't wait.
He's Sean Salisbury Triple Emmanuel Elmore. Dan Matthews said, Matt
tom a show with Ross coming up next right here.

Speaker 4 (02:35:02):
We will talk to you in twenty hours
