over here? Who is you? Yeah? I think so? You

Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 1: Can I tell the honest truth? And what can I lie?
You're gonna say you're tired because you and the Rockets?
Are you? This part of the schedule sucks, I'll say it.
Get it together, NBA. You're in Houston one night, you're
in Atlanta the next, then you come back just for
one game against Dallas, and then you're back in Indiana and.
Speaker 2: Then you're back home. You got it.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a home stand or a road trip,
not a home game in one road game. Let's go.
I need I'm you know, I'm mister preface guy. Right, Yes,
we understand. Five diamond accommodations. Nobody's crying for you. Yes,
five diamonds. Chartered Air is good food, nice per diem.
I get treated well, I'm getting my ass kicked. Ross.
I gotta be brutally honest with you. It's just this
is a tough part of the year. And as I've
told you before, when I go like to go on
the road, I like to go knock out two or
three cities at a time. This bouncing back stuff sucks,
and the rockets bounced back. That's the most important thing.
But yeah, getting in this. The hawks are getting their
ass kicked too, so that's a good thing. Oh yeah.
Uh my head hit the pillowed about just shy at
three am this morning. So okay, well I went to
bed about two thirty. So what'd you been doing. I'm
just hanging out, okay, staring at the ceiling, thinking of
everything that's gone wrong in my entire life. No, no,
you let me tell you about your life. It's it's
not as bad it No.
Speaker 2: No, I know.
Speaker 1: I'm very blessed. I'm very lucky. Yeah, we are risk,
We're very blessed to be able to be with you.
Guys every morning between ten o'clock and who thanks. By
the way, I got to tell you, I listened to
you guys almost the whole way to Atlanta on my flight.
You know, really really awesome internet. This starlink whatever this
is on the plane. No, and I listened to the
iHeartRadio ap the entire time. I don't know if it
was legal enough, but I did it. No, you didn't, Matt,
I did not listen to it. And the geo cities drop. No, No,
it's no. We were okay, okay, we weren't listening to games.
We were just listening to you, you guys, I got
you listen to Jonathan's I just don't get it. He
absolutely nailed it. I don't get the continued outrage for
Bill Belichick. It is insane. Yeah, players being held to
a different stand in the coaches was an excellent and
astute point brought up by the our former athlete. That's
coming from somebody went to s f A. I mean,
this is what happens when you compliment somebody not named
Matt Thomas. Jonathan, I'm sorry, you should get used to it.
I've been dealing this for a long time. I know
I'm just teasing, Jonathan. I tease because I care, all right,
I gotta be brutally honest with you like I always
am on the show. Now, Look, I'll lie to y'all
and not feel bad about it. But I'm telling the
truth here. I have had the great opportunity to call
lots of NBA games with some of the greatest athletes.
I mean this between Lebron and between k and between
Steph Curry, even though we hate them. I mean, there's
been just a fantastic amount of players. And on the
Rocket side, Chris Paul, James Harden, Russell Westbrook. You got
me thinking about who do you think there is the
worst player you ever called? I don't know. I mean
there's been, I mean Thefally Dante, I don't know. Kenny
Lofton junior by the way, right, Oh that's right, Kenny
Lofton Junior. No relation, right, No no relation at all,
just a Loveton member. So and this is just me
coming to you, open and honest, a little sleep deprived.
But the reality is this. I I'm fanboying, fan boying
Kevin Durant more than I ever thought I would. We
have no relationship at all. Yes, and you used to
crush him for having burner accounts being all over Twitter.
I didn't crush him. I just said, why are you
doing it? I love it. I love that he mixes
it up. Well, now that it's Burner got outed and
now he's like, you know what, I'm gonna do it
as the kids say on Maine on his main count Yeah,
do it on Main next to a delicious barbecue over
there with her boy. They're not on Main Street and
next to the CBD shop. Oh that was a technical glitch, right, Yeah,
it's a drop. We had a drop on the radio.
I'm good, good, good computer. So here's the thing. I'm
struggling just to fly on an airplane and call a
radio game after a late night getting into Atlanta wee
hours of the morning. How does a human being at
thirty seven years old, not thirty seven still young. It's
old for NBA standards, but it's young in life, right, Yes,
I was a thirty seven year old score thirty one
points and play thirty four minutes after playing about the
same amount of time and scoring about the same the
previous night, and jipping on a plane and running up
and down the court with guys that are about seventy
percent of age and oh, by the way, being like
half the speed that he was ten years ago, and oh,
by the way, playing really good and hard defense all
season long. Yeah, and I'm talking like a mother. He
took a shot to the chin by vite Crachi, Yeah
he did, and he says stop throwing them MFN. I mean,
he is a swearing machine, but he's so incredibly good. Rockets,
by the way, won last night. If he did not
catch it one o four eighty six. The first half
was dog crap. I mean, it just was. It was
two tired basketball teams, both got back to backs, both traveling,
and what was it at halftime forty three forty two
nineteen eighty seven. NBA didn't even want to watch the game? No,
and then the Rockets exploded for sixty one points in
the second half, score the thirty five and the third
start hitting threes out rebutting like a mutta Kevin Durant
thirty four minutes, thirty one points. Now, I know there's
a There was a segment of our show listenership, because
I hear it about it all the time. I don't
like the NBA. All they do is shoot threes, are
two political blue, all the excuses in the world. I
don't know if it's going to be under the radar
when the dust settles, because Kevin has played other places.
But you are getting one of And again, we can
go to a list, and we've done this probably too
many times. One of the fifteen or twenty greatest NBA
players is still competing at a high level, and he's
wearing Houston Rocket Scared. I'm saying top fifteen, top fifteen, cinch,
and I will stick with the second greatest shooter of
all time. Okay, well he can make that down the road.
But point being is he just kicks ass. He just does.
He's smarter. He doesn't go full ninety four feet anymore.
He can if he needs to, but he knows he's
got to save his energy. He's playing crazy minutes. He's
knocking down threes, he's you said, he's giving a professional
approach on the defensive side, and he's got the well
and desire that maybe guys that are in their twenties
don't have. He's incredible, and I hope that even if
you are a casual or as the kids would say,
ross a cash, say that I'm gonna put that into play, Jonathan,
tell your friends to say so, I'm saying casualties. If
you're a cash trendsetter, go watch him, Go listen to him.
Thank you here on seven ninety. Just go see him.
He's not gonna let you down. He's gonna miss shots.
Everybody miss the shots. He's gonna turn the ball over,
probably too much, but that's always been his in his
repertoire since the time he's been an NBA player. He
dribbles a ball, guy six Tenny dribbles a ball a lot, period.
It's gonna happen. The Bleacher Report did do their hundred
in the summer. You know, it's prime NBA summer content.
Matt greatest hundred NBA players of all time. They had
him thirteenth. You think I'm gonna argue with you about this.
It's great. No, not gonna happen. I don't think you should.
When they did the all seventy five team in twenty
twenty two, ESPN ranked them. They put Durant twelfth. Now
we're gonna get mad about this. In Houston they put
him twelfth. Elijah went thirteenth. Oh, we're fine. There's so
many great players. I mean it's everybody's got their own
list to put the well. Also eleven was shack so
Hi Houston's now feeling good about it. Don't bring that
up that Now you got a body great and Tim
Duncan an eighth. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: I came better than both of those.
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Better than Tim Duncan. I'm sorry, san
Antonio fan. If I want to watch a ninety one
eighty four game, I'll use Tim Duncan as my mon
as my main go to guy. But I want some excitement,
all right. On the radio show today, Rossie, it's anything
Goes Friday. Correct, anything goes, and I mean anything. One
of us is sleep deprived. One of us got lots
of good rest. I didn't get great rest. Now, okay,
I want to know what we ought to do a
segment called what does Ross do between ten p and
two A. That's none of your business. Come on, I
was doing one thing for a little while, and I
was doing another thing for another and then I went
to sleep. Did any of involve physical activity? Huh? You
want to check my heart rate? Is what you're saying? No, miss,
question asked, I'm looking for me. That's none of your business. Yeah,
I'm an open My cardiopathic mess metrics are none of
your none of your business. So you know what my
tend to was like getting on the plane going up there,
trying to get a comfortable You know, when you were flying,
you try to sleep on a plane and you do
fall asleep, but then you're in an awkward angle when
you wake up with a terrible crick in your neck
or something, or your joints are aching. That was me
moving around. I'm sorry, Matt. Then I drove home when
I put the ESPN radio app on my phone on
on the on the in the car and heard my
highlight of Kevin Durant three pointer. It's always a good
sign when they actually use your highlights. It's nice. Yeah,
getting the national recognition. I'm all for that. Great job, Matt.
Thank you. Anything goes Friday, you're saying, what if anything
goes Friday? I mean it could be about the rockets
last night, it could be about the Astro signing, trading
for another picture. I did give the assignment to Ross
to give us a deep breakdown of the new Astro
picture they got from the Giants yesterday. So I can't
wait to hear that. Yes, I've talked to my horses
in the Taiwanese Baseball League and what they say, they said,
don't call us ever again. They actually said, they actually
gave you a rundown. And since you don't speak Taiwanese,
it did you know? No, well, yeah they did. Well
I think they uh, it's Mandarin. They speak over the
mat because you know, I was in Taiwan. I guess
two years ago. Now you know, two years ago, we
ought to send you back and keeping fintastic beautiful. I
love Taiwan. Taiwan was awesome. Also though, they said I
got super lucky with the weather because it rains apparently
every day, and it didn't rain when I was there.
So I've been told that I got very, very lucky.
And then we're gonna talk about a couple of other things.
We're going to discuss what an NFL kindness officer is, okay,
and should I apply for that job? Hmm? You for
a kindness officer anywhere in the NFL to go to say,
I would say anywhere, you shouldn't be the kindness officer.
And I heard you Houston, Oh yeah, I heard Houston.
I'm definitely the kindness Officer. People walk in, they celebrate me.
You're the bully officer. You're only nice that people can
make you money. They throw flowers at me, they serve
me wine and sparkling grape soda. It's really nice. It's
a nice atmosphere. Anything Goes Friday, from sports to your life.
We have I'm Sorry is at eleven thirty. We have
the Stripper Wake Up Today at noon, we have Non
Florida Stories at one thirty, and the Hell Yeah or
Not at one fifty seven one three two one two
five seven ninety seven one three two one two five
seven ninety. Our time is ten fifteen. It's a Friday
edition Anything Goes Friday. Here on Sports Talk seven ninety
Frosty Deputy ag is having a news conference in the
Epstein File. So I think today would be the perfect
edition of playing Helly Aaron O is this person in
the Epstein Files. I thought everything was was heavily redacted.
First of all, I love the word redacted. I don't
think we use it enough in life. Uh huh uh.
But I don't know. I just I just happened to
be showing on my TV screenups on Sometimes when we
tell stories on you got to redact the names to
protect the innocid? Is it? Anything goes Friday? Here on
Sports Talk? So any Rockets again beat the Hawks last night?
The Astros make a trade. How many Astro pictures are
there going to be in camp? Like sixty four? I
love this. I think this is really smart. I mean,
first of all, it's not like you can go you
don't have the funds to go out and sign everybody
or anything like that. But this is great. I like
this approach from Dana Brown and the Houston Astros. And
some of it is their hand is forced because they
can't go out and sign everybody, like I just said,
but getting a bunch of guys who can be an option,
get stocking as many arms as you possibly can after
what happened the last couple of years. Totally on board
with it, and I'm intrigued to see how it plays out,
especially when you're have an organization that is famous for
turning pictures who are either from good to great or
from mid to good and et cetera. Yeah, we're talking
about and I get I've not heard his name officially.
I guess I could have gone to YouTube to listen
to it. K Wing Tang. That sounds great. You're not
gonna try it, are you. I'm good, that's probably right. Tang,
twenty seven years old, spent the twenty twenty five season
with the Giants between Triple A and the Major League level.
I did make seven starts for the Giants. It wasn't great,
two and four with an ERA at six point three seven.
But it's the wind, it's the weather out. It's fine.
I'm sure they have some some something they want to
tinker with or some pitches they like, and they're gonna
mess with his pitch mix and then go from there. Yeah.
Three ninety five ERA at Triple A Sacramento. Eighty nine
strikeouts in twenty six innings. That's bad as a pcl
oh yeah, for as for as much of the ball
jumps out of those stadiums there. He is from Taiwan,
Originally assigned as an international free agent by the Twins
in twenty seventeen. He was traded at the Giants in
twenty nineteen twenty seven, so he was originally in twenty seventeen.
How old is he eleven Jesus seventeen years old? Twenty seven? Yeah,
I know nothing about so if you're looking for a
deep dive on that, why don't you DM Chandler at Rome.
He'll give you all the deep deets on that. I'm good.
He wanted us to do a k wing ting believe
it or not today and I was like that that
would be quite a challenge we could do Taiwan. It's
a very deep and rich history with them in China.
I watched a hole when I was going to Taiwan.
I watched like a thirty minute YouTube on it, and
I still know what the hell was going on. Okay,
so let's do this really quick becase it's anything goes
if we go to Taiwan. Yes, and I'd say, ross,
let's go get some dinner. M hm, what's in in
front of us over Let's say let's say a two
or three course dinner. What would we be eating? I mean,
you can go to a hot pot place, which is
very good. They have. What else did I do they had?
I mean any kind of suit places they have?
Speaker 2: They have.
Speaker 1: What they really have there is what they call the
the night markets. And that's what you do in Taiwan.
Is there there's night markets all over the place, and
that's where you can basically hop from booth to boot
to booth, so you can get a little fried you
can get some steak, you can get some fried rice,
you can get they have like these little Japan Taiwanese
buns that are really good. You can get little fris
sticks of fried chicken. So when you go to the
night markets, that's what you do and you get a
little bit of everything, and everything is so good and
super cheap. I love to. Yeah, just go do Taiwanese
night market. That's what I That's what I would say. Okay, well,
let me tell you. Ross has got Taiwanese Traveled Incorporated
ready for you to to be the leader of your trips.
If you're thinking about a trip to Taiwan, Instagram is
Sports Harvey and he'll set you up and get your
reservations for all the top restaurants there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's yeah, it's fun and delicious. Yeah. I have
one thing I've learned is that if you need to
go get regular food, no matter where you go, it's
not too difficult to find it. Well, you know, people
been eating for a long time, and you're going to
somewhere that's populous that they've been eating good. If you
really want to Chili's in Venezuela, I guess you can.
I don't think you can find a Chili's in Venezuela.
Give me with those a bad selection, I mean maybe
ask uh as kose l Tuv. Well, let me tell
you this. When I was in London, when I worked
for the NBA back in the mid nineties, the food
in London sucks. I mean, look at those people. Yeah
that's terrible. Yeah, but they're miserable and in bread so
they got bad teeth. But that's not here. No there. Uh.
I went to the hard Rock Cafe probably four times
because at least I knew what I was getting. Okay,
overpriced hamburgers with a bunch of guitars against the wall. Yeah,
remember that wasn't the thing. You remember that. I feel
like you can eat goods somewhere in England, great Indian food.
But I'm not an Indian food guy. I mean Indian food.
My digestive system doesn't like a little butter chicken.
Speaker 2: Baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying, man, I yi, oh, Indian food
is incredible, man, you know what? Never mind, yeah, uh,
we'll go eat a McRib Indian food. Indian food, No
McRib yes, that's where we are. Bus. We're on the
bus yesterday going to the arena and Craig you know,
the television voice of the Rockets, a great front of
the show. Yes, palette of a six year old is
making fun of my McRib love and one of our
social media people. You know social media people are like
twenty three tops. Yes, they're very young. And she goes,
I didn't know they were still around. I'm like, you know,
they're America Sandwich.
Speaker 2: Oh. But then he does it.
Speaker 1: He pulls a ross on her and says, it's this
pork gristle pressed quasi patty. That's disgusted. They're literally getting
the class action lawsuit over it. Matt. You know what,
I'm going to join the class action lawsuit against him
and say leave America Sandwich alone. You're gonna counter suit.
By the way, I did hear somebody call you the
other night? Was on the post game. We're on the
show yesterday. It said I love the Matt Thomas show
and Ross and I love the McRib So whoever that
was shout out to you. Yeah, he was also drunk.
You don't know that. He said he was Oh, okay, okay,
he said he had a few beers and then well
he was learning his words a little bit, but he
was very nice. All Right, we're gonna have to take
some offense to a former Texas Longhorn, great case McCoy. No,
he's now a sports analyst and he just destroyed Oha.
Oh no, we do. We have to pay attention to
this guy. Well he's one of yours.
Speaker 2: No he's not.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess he is, but but he I
think it was frankly highly irresponsible. Okay, we can discuss.
I guess we're gonna do when we come back. Seven
one three two one two five seven Nightie seven one
three two one two five SEVINTI. This is the Matt
Thomas should ross It isn't anything goes Friday rockets on
the on the brain. Astros Super Bowl coverage really will
start kicking in next week? Uh are we saying nor
to the Pro Bowl this weekend? Rossie? Not watching it,
dot DV ring it, any of that stuff? I forgot
it was on good. If I'm really hurting for something
to watch, I will, but I'm locked in on the
Tottenham Hotspur versus Manchester City game on Sunday. Matt does
my son know about this. Yeah, we're going to meet up.
Am I invited? You're not gonna be here on Sunday,
are you? Well, we don't leave till the afternoon. Oh
you want to come? I literally thought you're gonna be
out of town. Yeah, Sunday morning.
Speaker 2: Come there.
Speaker 1: Other people you know are gonna be there as well,
nice people or people I regret.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: You know what you know, and stay home how it is. No,
I'm not coming. Figure out where I want to comet
me and your son. Yeah, people in your life. If
that's not enough, and I see him all the time,
all right, you know what? No, shout you my mass up. No,
we don't want you there. But on sports Stock seven
out of our time, we've ten thirty four Rockets. Been
a nice one in Atlanta. Spoke the two games this
week day of play actually or two one after beating
Memphis really quick on the forour utab. Before we get
to this Emmanuel Shoe stuff. There are some really stupid
Rocket fans out there right now, and I have to
say that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess because they've it feels worse this year, and
I guess that's because Kevin Durant came, and there's just
I don't know if or maybe I'm seeing more of
a talk of it in the for utab or something
that's exactly where it is. These are not people that
I follow, Okay, reality is this They're they're saying that
the Rockets have crescendoed at the very top of the
worth e May he's not a good offensive mine his
team costing his Victory's time to let him go. And
I was I was, literally as I was sitting on
the plane, we were we were waiting to leave, and
I was feeling feeling dumber by the tweet that I
was reading. And I want to tell these people, not
figuratively but literally, I want to call them and tell
them to shut their bumbasses up. It's highly embarrassing. This
team is the number four seed in the West. It's
got a puncher's chance to get to the two spot
here in the next two weeks. If they can get
you get a run going here, they're gonna win fifty games. Now.
Are they the favorite to win the NBA Championship? No,
And that's not great. Fred Van Bliet being out hurt,
Steven Adams being out hurt, Well, the Rockets make a trade.
I don't know, doesn't I don't. I'm like getting the
vibe they're gonna do anything significant because they love their core.
But this talk of em has the it's the best
he can do.
Speaker 2: It was just.
Speaker 1: And every every fan basis Twitter is stupid at some time.
Oh yeah, we spent We spent all summer time about
how stupid the astro of Twitter was. The astro of
Twitter is the worst Twitter of the moment. Oh no, no, no,
oh no, no, no, no no, But astro of Twitter
is the worst by far. I'm still I'm sticking with
Rockets because I also think it trends younger and the
kids are lacking seasoning. I'll just say that. And I
was there too, what just to say kids are dumb?
Got a lot of life perspective. Well, look, when I
was nineteen years old, I thought stro Miles Swift was
going to save the Houston Rockets. I was an idiot.
I was stupid. I didn't have any perspective. Okay, so
I could say that knowing full well that I was
in that same place, and that That's where I'm going
with this.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I think Rockets fans trend younger than astros. Fans. And
it's because I mean, and nobody's talking about watching the
the the Rockets back in with Elvin Hayes. When it's
Astros fans, they're talking about the Colt forty five. So
I think they trend younger. And generally that doesn't mean
you know you're dumber, but you just have a I
think more prisoner of the moment. Could not agree with
you more. Now, every group is volatile. You just when
you have one hundred and forty characters in your map
because your team lost, you can just run to your
computer and just and just let it all out. But
I am and I'm trying to look at so I
can find something here that I was like, well, here's okay,
Red ninety four, nice enough guy. I actually follow this dude.
I got him muted. Here's what he said and Red
ninety four, he's a let me tell you something. I
love die hard Rocket fans, so we need them in
this world. We don't have enough, frankly, so, but I'm
just this was the one. I was like, come on, now,
this is the closest I've end up being completely out
on the email, mainly because he's the guy that put
the ball on Alpi's hands and he got us out
of the mud. We were at our darkest point. So
I'll never be truly out on him. But he's just
felt completely over his head when it comes to the
offense this year without the Fred security blanket. How do
you just sit there and watch that unfold last night
in the second half of the men and not make
an adjustment. Maybe I'm missing something and this is some
Phil Jackson three D chest to force a men's growth. Yeah,
I've had that guy muted for years. Yeah, I mean,
shout out to you, Red ninety four. I like you,
but I'm muted him. The takes are bad. I mean, look,
I mean I wish him the best, but of course
you do. Hope things are going great on his blog
or whatever. I don't know. Is he a blocker? I
don't even know. But it's just like, come on. This
team is like eleven or twelve games above five hundred.
It's gonna be a finish the top four, probably at
worse in the West. And you got Kevin Durant who
shows no significant signs of aging, wit Tay Ross. We've
seen some thirty seven year olds age, Chris Paulden age, well,
he actually did age. So I said what I was
meant to say. Steph Curry in age, Clay Thompson aged everybody.
Everybody at some point ages the guy were in the
Rocket uniform has an age. Just yet they had some
I mean something happened in the in the middle of
that game, I mean in the third quarter of that game,
and they didn't adjust well, and they all talked it
later the game about possible I mean, not impossible solutions,
the things they could have done and tried. So I mean, yeah,
all right, Now to Manuel Ocho Ocho Acho Ocho, how
would you describe him among the all time greats in
the University of Texas football history. I mean, he was
a pretty good linebacker for a little bit. I think
he was on the Eagles for maybe a year or two.
I would I don't even think he was like first
team All Big twelve or anything. I can look it up, but.
Speaker 2: He was good.
Speaker 1: He was a and he of course with his brother
Sam who played a long time with the Cardinals. Sam
Acho was great and the Manuaco was was pretty good.
I mean they were decent Longhorn players. Emmanuel especially in
the dark eras he was a mac grown I think
in twenty twelve. Okay, so you know what, there's six
round picks that are great. His career history, he played
one year in Cleveland. He was a practice squad member
in twenty thirteen with the Eagles and the Giants, and
then went back and then actually played for the Eagles
between twenty thirteen and fifteen. He has thirty three total
tackles in the NFL. Now he has one NFL uniform
he has played, so with that comes some credibility. He
does have the ability to speak and complete sentences and
the grammars decent. No, he's very smart. The Auto Brothers
actually that was one of the storylines. They're very smart
right coming into school. And well, when you are an
athlete and you say things, it's gonna probably gravitate and
carry a little more weight than say Matt and Ross,
especially when you have a national platform. Here is Emmanuel
Acho discussing Shadoor Sanders, which is a lightning rod topic
as it is. And Jonathan, tell me when you're ready
to go on this the go all right here it is.
The new coach of the Cleveland Browns is lean, less
to say, probably not the number one or two selection
for most NFL teams, but he is still a significantly
successful assistant coach and now gets the opportunity a head
coach in Cleveland. Here's Sam Ocho discussing how should or
Sanders should handle all this.
Speaker 4: Because any expectation for Shador Sanders under Todd Monkin, I
believe will lead to disappointment. There is nothing about Todd
Mounkin as a head coach that should get you excited.
As an offensive coordinator, you could say Lamar Jackson had
an MVP season under Todd Monkin as an offensive coordinator.
Lamar Jackson forty one testdowns and four interceptions under Todd Monkin.
As an offensive coordinator, you can make arguments under Todd Monkins.
Stanson Bennet won two national championships of Georgia under Todd Munkin.
But as a head coach, no, nothing about Todd Munkin
as a headman gets me excited. I need to see
who the offensive coordinator is going to be. That's what
I need to see. But what I don't yet see
t is like, how is Todd Munkin going to command
that locker room, command that group of men?
Speaker 1: And also if I'm Shador or anybody in that locker room.
Why am I listening to Todd Munkin?
Speaker 4: What if you won on an NFL level as a
head coach, You're not even a head coach on an
NFL level.
Speaker 2: So I don't.
Speaker 4: Even have expectation for Shador under Todd Munkin because I
believe any expectations I would have he would not meet,
because why am I excited about it?
Speaker 1: T So, if you were to take everything into context,
what a Manngelancho is saying is that either you played
and or an MVP, or you coached and won a
super Bowl. And if you don't have either one of
those two things, no coach, no player should ever listen
to coach.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Emmanuel Acho, I think knows what he's doing.
He's trying to get. He is somebody who's said a
bunch of crazy stuff recently. And as I said, I
don't think he's a dumb person. I think he knows.
I'll give you another example. I don't think Nick Wright's
a dumb person. I think Nick Wright knows if he's
frames things in a certain way and pushies certain agendas,
he's gonna get maximum eyeballs on what he's doing and saying,
And I just feel the same about Emmanuelacho. I don't
know if Acho's got beef with Monkin. I don't even
particularly care. It's an indefensible position. It doesn't make any sense.
As you said, I mean, how many first head time
head coaches are getting getting hired all? How many of
the ten or what are we up to? I think
it's eight head coaches that have been hired to vacancy. Still, yeah, yeah,
it's a real interesting mix because there is so much
more opportunity to get your voice heard, especially if you
are a former player. And obviously, like Shador, Sanders is
a lightning rod. But man, that's just that's character assassination. Really, frankly,
to me.
Speaker 2: It's stupid.
Speaker 1: I mean jesse mentor first time coach, Joe Brady first
time coach, I think Jeff head coach. We're talking about
Jeff Halfley with the Miami Dolphins who got hired there
first time head coach. So I just feel like that
maybe Acho is just trying to already build a defense
mechanism for if Shador doesn't succeed in gain in Cleveland,
doesn't get the starting spot, or if he gets his
starting spot. He's not good. Alcho can say, well, I
told you so, you bring it in an expending a
first time head coach, Well what do you expect? Well,
another thing that happens is that you dig in. When
you are one of these loudmouthed ESPN, Fox or whatever guys,
and you push this agenda, you try to figure out
any sort of reason to deflect and deny whatever agenda
he's pushing. No, I don't know if he's been supporting
Shador Sanders. Come, I don't listen to Manuatcho nor hook
him horns and all that stuff. But I know what
he is. He's a guy who's gonna go out there
and just say a bunch of sensational stuff. So if
I'm going to presume that he's been defending Shador Sanders
and so, yeah, as you said, you can set it
up like for example, I mean, like like with the
agenda that's Bayle's pushed for years with Lebron James, Like
it was easy to do when he lost the twenty
eleven finals. But then he wins a couple of championships,
He's got four or five MVPs, he wins another championship
and then you have to just keep moving the goalpost
and keep defending your position, because otherwise you have to
look yourself in the mirror and say I was wrong,
I am incorrect. And some people cannot do that, or
they're just doing these sensational agendas and they just have
to keep pushing them for clicks. So what is so
all Ocho has to do now is if Shador is
the quarterback and is successful and Monkin does get the
Browns level of respectability. Oh, I guess I goofed, but
you know, and and maybe I'm different because I grew
up in this business at a different time. The reality
is is that Acho is getting I mean, we've never
played the same Acho cut on the manual Acho cut
on the show ever in our life. And maybe I
think we should put a moratorium on it. Yeah, you're
probably right about that, but it's just like mission accomplish.
You're talking about this, and I just I I never
want to be made fun of. I mean, in terms
of a sports take. That ruins the credibility of who
I am. Now, I'll say some crazy things just to
have some fun on the show, but I'm not going
to ever come to you. And we've done this show
for a long time and say, hey, I've got this
take that I think is so preposterous that it's going
to get us clicks. And I don't I don't want that.
That's not that's not why we got in the business.
We came in to entertain and to bring some analysis
to things. But I don't want to be in the
punching bag of something. And I think Oho is getting
annihilated because first of all, he doesn't have the resume.
He was a fringe NFL player at best. Then telling
a guy who worked his ass off to get to
where he is as a coach as a coordinator at
both the collegiate and the professional level, you suck. You're
never gonna get this fixed. And oh, by the way,
Shador Sanders, I've got an easy way for you to
get out of the fact that if you're not good,
it's gonna be your coach's fault. I just I thought
it was Bush leagu I really did. It's a ridiculous
stick And you know what it does. It just it
for me ROSSI. It just checks another play person off
the list of people I just don't respect. And I
don't want anybody to go that like, I don't want
anybody to come and say, Matt, your your sports takes
are on a riety. Things are so outlandish and so ridiculous,
I'm not gonna respect you. That hurts more than me
than oh I watched your YouTube clip or I watched
you whatever. I just I just found it kind of
off putting, and I didn't think it was fair. Now, look,
do I think that chants of Cleveland being awesome are great? No?
Could this be a guy that's there for two years
and out I means he's fifty nine years old. I
never been a head coach before, so that there might
be a reason for that, But damn, I mean he's
already built in. Why should shoud door Sanders listen to
a word he says? How completely disrespectful that is to
a coaching fraternity. Well, god, there's just no leg that's
that take has zero leg to stand on. Yeah, all right,
so that's it. Uh ten forty seven on the Matt
Thomashield Ross. If you'd like to be with us on
anything goes Farner, you may do so at seven one
three two one two five seven ninety seven one three
two one two five seven ten to fifty three and
anything goes Friday at seven to one three two one

We're gonna have a couple of uh off the beaten
track NFL conversation pieces coming up at eleven o'clock. Rossy
one is gonna be about how much you're gonna drink
on Super Bowl Sunday. Okay, and we have a survey
that it's out. I will tease the survey and saying
that apparently the livers of Houston Texans fans get to
quite in a compromising position, so to speak. Okay, So
we got that, and then something we tweeted about I
tweeted about for the show promotion for the day. We're
gonna have to figure out what the hell is a
NFL Kindness Officer? Have you heard about this? I mean
I saw it, but I don't know many details. Do
you know who dar a man is? I do not, Jonathan,
name a ring a bell to you. He's talking to Cole. Okay,
that's fine. Why is Cole STI the tell col to
go home? I think he might be is he still
kicked out? And we had him on yesterday he said
he's out of the doghouse. I mean that's he was
like sleeping there for a week, right, Yeah. I think
they were talking about Mississippi State's basketball recruiting class. Do
you think what Cole's with his lady in the middle
of the night and they're trying to get romantic, and
he's like, man, you're so good. You're like you're like
Auburn's front four. Oh, you're so good, You're like Willie
Fritz's new backfield. Was that your Cole Thompson impersonation?
Speaker 2: Ross?
Speaker 1: That was actually cold Thompson. I'm just I knew it
was you, Okay, Yeah, Seriously, Cole is so secy, he's
more is he has more sec than Gordy or less?
I don't know. I don't know Cole well enough. Honestly.
The only thing I know about him is he says
things to his wife he should not, Yes, I believe
that to be acting, and ends up in the doghouse. Yeah.
And he drinks like a gallon of water every morning,
which is seems a little excessive in the morning and
four hours a gallon, I think that seems excessive. Hyd everybody,
you shouldn't have a gallon before nine am, like you
gotta dose it burst your bladder? Yeah, I mean is
he taking like twelve hundred breaks every commercial break so
we can go to the restroom. I mean that's terrible. Yeah. Yeah,
Hey girl, I love you. I don't love you as
much as I do a butt Mississippi State's receiving core,
but I do love you. Maybec courdy to the same
thing too. I mean he married a Kentucky girl, so
I mean, yeah, Oh, they talk, they argue all the time.
What well, Yeah, she's a big Kentucky homer. Yeah. I
don't think I used sports to romance my wife. I
did tell her I was in sports and that we
could maybe go to some sporting events and whatnot, But
that wasn't part of it. I mean, she she found
me and she loved me because of my personality, my charm,
my good looks, maybe my economic potential, all those things
that's good, Matt. Security is important, Yeah, but I don't
think she was thinking about Hey, Matt, do you think
the astros rotation needs a train of the deadline? If
you do, then we're good for We're good to go forever.
But I did marry the Ultimate Bandwagon I mean Duke basketball,
Notre Dame football. Wait, she's a Notre Dame football fan.
Oh yeah, why is that not ringing a bell for me?
We haven't talked about it a whole lot. Yeah, but
the Duke basketball, it's like, you got to you gotta
be careful when you bring that up to people, because
Duke is the is pretty much one of the most
hated things in sports, correct right, yes, Yankee, yeah, Yankee hate.
You got Dodger hate. Dodger hates it at all time high.
I think what's that Dodger hates it at all time
higher hate. Well, because they're they're spending fourteen dollars on
players this year and the one I'm spending one hundred
and forty seven million dollars in them in twenty fifty one,
so it's all deferred. Yeah. They buy their players on Klarna.
Yeah do it? Do Today's even is no Jonathan context
clude you know what Layoway is?
Speaker 2: Layoway?
Speaker 1: Yeah, lew I.
Speaker 2: Gotta put them on Layaway mm hmm yeah, okay, that's good.
Speaker 1: Used to get my school closed. Layaway at Wieners matt
ooh Wieners what yeah, Wieners, this is this is you
never like to Wieners back in the day.
Speaker 2: I just know Burlington and that's it.
Speaker 1: Oh, Burlington's a good call. It was more uh you
know what I would call. I would compare it maybe
to like a stein Mart. Yeah, I used to stein
Mart when I was really fat. Oh I get I
get forty six waist easy stein Mart. Oh, husky husky
I was obese. I would loved to got the husky
it here and create matt Hey. Okay, so the alcohol
levels for people in the NFL, we'll discuss. That's a
teaser right there. Right, Wow, it's huge. I mean we
could go into more c J. Stroud talk if you want. Yeah, okay,
don't sign them. I'm actually saw we actually can talk
about that. As the days have gone on, I'm not
feeling as harsh mentally towards c J. Stroud. Oh you
know what, because you have been a CJ truth more
than I am. I don't know, but well, okay, yeah, truths.
I guess. Well. I said he was a franchise quarterback
this first year when he threw thirty touchdowns and like
five hundred yards against the Buccaneers. But you've said he
softened your stands. It's massively regressed. We're gonna hear the
softer stands of rossvilt A real plus alcohol habits for
us as Houston Texans fans here in town for the
game next week, all coming up as part of the
second hour plus we got I'm sorry he's in one
half hour. It's a Matt Thomas Show. Ross. This is
Sports Talk seven ninety is the Matt Thomas Show with
Ross eleven two on Sports Talk seven ninety. It is
our number two of four of the Matt Thomas Show
with Ross here on Anything It goes Friday, and I
mean anything. What do you want to get into? You
want to apologize for the mean things you've said over
there last week?
Speaker 2: Or so?
Speaker 1: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven Auntie, I'm back
from Atlanta, where the Rockets last night took care of
the Hawks. Uh, Kevin Durant was awesome. Where you checker
was awesome. Josha Koge, did you have double double on
your bingo card last night? Sports Harvey, I did not.
I believe it was a career high rebound. Certainly was
a career high offensive rebounds for him. Yeah. Yeah, he's
he's sneaky. Nice. Addition, he's kind of doing more than
I thought he would, and Dorian Finney Smith probably doing
a little lesson I thought it would be doing. Yeah,
is that a good DFS? Some time he'll be fine.
I hope so Rockets off time, won't you'll be really
good or he won't be really good. I mean, we'll
find out. That's that's life, Matt. Either it's gonna work
out or it's not. Let's go Rockets and Mavericks tomorrow night.
What did Cooper Flag score forty nine points last night?
I thought it was Konkain nip or was it Flag Flag? Okay,
by the way, how did u H beat both Cooper
Flag and conkinep? But well, they got lucky when Dukee chalent.
They got lucky when Duke choked. But no they didn't. No, no, no,
it's it's called talent. It's called defense, it's called aggressiveness.
Duke was the best team in college basketball last year.
But the best team always doesn't win. I know exactly,
as we found out in on Championship Monday. Agree u
H is better than Florida. But my wife saw the
credit card bill for the airline flight, and she's like,
what is this for? II? Dang, that's funny. Well, I mean,
what are you doing that? She's like, what why are
you flying on a rando from It was because the
flight's Phoenix Indianapolis. She's like, what are you flying somebody in?
I'm like, no, no, no, it's I'm going to go
to Indianapolis to watch the Cougars Winter National Championship. That's great.
By the way, the Hornets beat the Mavericks last night
in Dallas. Pesky Hornets. So Kank Nipple scores thirty four points. Flag,
who was his room dog at Duke scores forty nine.
Crazy God, Cooper Flag forty nine. Why can't the Rockets
have like a rookie scores forty nine points? Yeah. Some
people questioned how good Cooper Flag would be coming out
of the draft, but he's been pretty good. He was
twenty of twenty nine from the field and six to
six in the free throw.
Speaker 2: That good.
Speaker 1: I think it's incredibly efficient. That's that's what the kids
would say, man dropping forty nine on their heads and
still losing. Oh. I was gonna ask whatever the rookie
scoring record is, but it's probably Wilt Chamberlain. Yeah, I
think he scored. What's a nony what's a non Wilt
Chamberlain record? I wonder, And we gotta get to your
your j take on a second, But if we could
ever go back in time and you and I would
sit in the stands in a basketball game in nineteen
sixty two, I was watching Wilt. Would we like the game?
Apparently it was back and forth, very high possessions because
I think they are just around that time, we're instituting
the shot clock, and all of them were wearing shorts
really high up. Okay, huggers, if you will. I don't
think I can say the first word, can I? No,
I'm not going to. And well, chamberlainuld played forty eight minutes,
get a fifty point triple double, and then he'll go
off the floor and get a triple double, no shot clock,
no three point line.
Speaker 2: Do you think he actually scored one hundred points a game?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh no, you know, the kids don't believe it.
Just yes, he did. There was like thousands of eyewitnesses
because they didn't film every single game in the sixties.
They were playing in Hershey, Pennsylvania, where they don't normally
play there wasn't ESPN. Don't you think the New York
Knicks who had one hundred bed somebody drop one hundred
on their head would be like, no, didn't happen. Richie
Garren and the boys would have been like, there ain't
no chance, it's no way, no how that this guy
scored a hundred points.
Speaker 2: It didn't happen. We got a video over Jackie Robinson,
that's I don't know. Yeah, you have you have film
of well Chamberlain. You just don't have film that specific game.
Speaker 1: Oh, very carefully, I'm gonna give you. Because I'm a
man of age and solid knowledge and great insight.
Speaker 2: I'm listening.
Speaker 1: He scored one hundred points in the game. He did
not sleep with ten thousand women. Yeah he did lie
about that. Wow, that's a lie. Ten thousand is over overestimation.
They did call him Wilt Stilt though, Yeah, but they
also called him Will. They didn't call him Wilt the
Viagra Machine, called him the big dipper.
Speaker 2: They did not.
Speaker 1: He was doing some dipping. All right, Okay, we've had
this covers. Literally, there was like hundreds of people there
who who accounted for it. They tried to foul him.
They were like trying not to get him in the
hundred points. The other team tried everything in their power
to not give him a hundred points. Literally, watch one
YouTube video on it. Jonathan, why would a thousand people
at once lie.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a boost the NBA. I don't know. I'm
just I'm just I have my No, I'm watching it.
Speaker 1: I'm watching Okay, trust me, he scored one hundred because
there's no I mean, there's really no narrative for it
to say, well, he scored one hundred points, but it
didn't happen. And it's not like his second highest scoring
game was like fifty. Yeah, he averaged Jonathan, he averaged
fifty for a year, fifty points a game for an
entire season.
Speaker 2: One of the greatest legends. I know, I know.
Speaker 1: What else don't you believe? No? No, no, I don't
want to open this can of worms. We're doing it.
Speaker 2: Okay, here, anything goes Friday, Jonathan.
Speaker 1: By Way, hold on to make sure on the air,
peace with anybody want to call in?
Speaker 2: Get in?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: What else don't you believe? In sports? Not in life?
Speaker 2: Does the O. J. Simpson think count?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: What don't you believe? What don't you believe on this.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just I was on a deep
dive one day, like a two hour video saying it
was the son.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: No, I'm interested in just like Clanton this, I'm saying
what I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: His blood is all over the scene, his blood, but man,
his fingers were cut. Where was his son's blood nowhere
to be found?
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I just watched the video. I'm just saying, watch,
but this is the thing.
Speaker 1: You're watching it. Look, let me the cocks and Johnathan's
very young. Clearly, if you watch a YouTube video where
it's only one perspective, you can buy into stuff. I
remember this happened with like nine o truth their stuff,
and I'm like, yeah, you know what, They're making a
lot of good points. Literally, you can it can all
be refuted. It all is a house of cards and
it can be refuted very easy. Go ahead and watch.
I don't know. Hopefully somebody made like a refutation video
of it, because I get you, Jonathan. If you watch
some one perspective of a conspiracy thing, it can be
very convincing, but you gotta go ahead and go. If
you watch a flat earth video, like they can make
some points where you're like, huh, that's interesting, but no,
then you literally watch five minutes of refuting it. Like
a watch watch that OJ made an America ESPN documentary.
It's one of the greatest UH docuseries ever of all time.
One an Oscar for greatest docuseries. H OJ did it?
OJ did it? He did now and this is going
to take us to the end of the segment. This
is fine. There is one thing, Jonathan, and I think
Ross knows this. There are there may be more than one. Oh,
I know what you believe, and you're wrong on that too, Matt,
go ahead and say it. David Stern banned Michael Jordan
from the NBA for gambling. Oh. I believe that, that's
for sure. But I wasn't thinking, Oh, you're going there.
Speaker 2: You can believe that, Okay.
Speaker 1: Yes, I can. I believe that. I absolutely believe that.
And he said come come back in the in the
middle of the season, he said, take some time off.
Speaker 2: Didn't it was.
Speaker 1: One season and a half. Didn't dad get his dad
got murdered. I've heard a theory that it was because
of the gambling.
Speaker 2: That's why his I.
Speaker 1: Also believe that Okay, okay, it's absolutely I believe all
of it. Yep. Okay, but that's what I was not
thinking about. But that, okay, Ross for bringing up another one.
I believe that there was a frozen draft. Yeah, I
don't know about that one. I guess I need to
look do some digging into that to get the New
York Knicks the number one overall pick and Patrick Ewing. Yep,
that's what I'm going with. I believe that one, all right.
Uh oh, yeah, I forgot I had forgotten about that. Yeah.
I believe Michael Jordan absolutely absolutely was told to go
away for a while. That doesn't make any sense. The greatest, biggest,
brightest star on the planet. You know what, why don't
you go ahead and retire? No no, no, no, no no,
it was never going to be a retirement. Why don't
you suspend Okay, why don't you go ahead? And we're
gonna suspend you for a year and a half for
what he was gambling on. He was gambling on basketball.
Here's how, here's how it goes. I'll be David Stern,
you be Michael Jordan. Michael, listen, we know you've got
some trouble here and You've got some people chasing after you,
and we cannot have the greatest player in the history
of the NBA, the most recognizable face in our league
attached to gambling and or mob issues. Why don't you
take some time away, talk about your father's death as
a reason why you want to get away and decompress,
and when the time is right, you can come back.
Michael says back to David Stern. Okay, I'll do that.
I'll go to I'll do something that I've always wanted
to do as a kid and play try to play
professional baseball, and I'll call you when I'm ready to
come back. And you agree, then we'll do it. Meanwhile,
the Chicago Bulls in that second year just kind of
wasting away mid level team. Scottie Pippen can't be the
go to guy. Hey, let's create a storyline where I
come back and I resurrect the Chicago Bulls and ridiculous. No,
it's it's it's completely plausible. No, it's not zero percent plausible.
Thank you, Jonathan. Why are kids suspended?
Speaker 2: I don't not know. Number one, what was it?
Speaker 1: Hey, let's get out in front of this. That's exactly
what you get out in front of it, and then
you can come back in the middle of the next
season and play like seventeen games or whatever he did,
and play the playoffs. There was no time there was
no there was no time stamp of how long he
was gonna be gone for. So he told him to
leave the league, but didn't say for how long. Correct,
he said, just leave the league and will come back
when we tell you. You can. No, when the time
is right for both of us, get your gambling debts
in order, just get away from those people. I'll do
what I need to do on my end. You need
to do on your end, and when the time is right,
and you go to this little baseball thing to keep
yourself in the headlines, then the time is right and
come back. Yep. Absurd. It may be absurd, but I
believe it. All right, let's get a time out. In
eleven fourteen, we got I'm sorry, it's coming up with
a bott of the hour, So Ross just give us
a tease. That was incredible. I'm not paid off on it.
His hard line stance has a bit softened, So yes, folks,
Ross got hard, then it got softened. One one three, two,
one two, five, seven ninety all right, just kid, give
you a little preface on what we're about to discuss here.
Maybe I'm sorry, it's coming up at the bottom of
the hour. You're like, what is that? Well, bottom of
the hours? Would you get to call and apologize for
something mean or something you did wrong and you want
to atone for it. That's why we give you an
opportunity for a half hour per week to call the
sh Oh number again to do that. It's seven one
three two one two five seven hounty seven one three
two one two five seven Aunty we got I'm sorry.
He's coming up in about fifteen minutes. All right, so
let's backtrack a little bit here. Uh well, one quick backtrack. Uh,
Jonathan's gonna have to apologize to Wilt and the Chamberlain
family because we found the radio broadcast. Oh, there is
audio of the fourth quarter. Should we play it? It's
very kind of I guess you can. Could you call
audio grainy? It's kind of it's a little warbled. I
thought of the same thing. I actually started a roll
on it, Matt, but it doesn't sound great. Yeah, it's fine,
we won't do it. Then maybe I'm a best of Yeah, okay,
So CJ's rookie year Ross and I are like, whoa
franchise quarterback? Yes? Easy, easy, peasy right? Yes? Year two,
all right, hitchis quarterback. Yes, slight downward trend, but it's early,
still on in the game. Can't wait to see what happens.
Third year, regular season okay, still not spectacular, but okay. Playoffs.
He's the victim of every bad meme in sports of
society today a National punchline. You and I have debated
about whether or not the matches are playing. I said,
there's gonna be concerns because not only do you have
to pay one max, but you're gonna be paying a
second max out of that same draft class.
Speaker 2: I e.
Speaker 1: Will Anderson Junior. Well that was before he turned the
ball over seven times in two games. And you kept
saying more in that and you were right. When you
have one meaning franchise or what you think is a
franchise quarterback, you gotta pay the guy. And even though
I was hesitant, I understood and said in buying large,
you're right. Then the playoffs come through, and then you say,
I'm not so sure. Now what are they going to do?
This is uncomfortable, you know, David Mullagata is gonna go
through to say, hey, where were you you? Uh? CJ
Stroud fans haters when he was beating Kansas City and
this team was after an all and three start, came
back to win the playoffs. YadA, YadA, YadA. So now
you said flippantly, not intentionally flippantly, but flippantly about twenty
five minutes ago, you are softening on CJ. So I
would like you to talk about your heart stance, how
you have since softened I thought, I mean, I was
talking about him being a sunk cost and how the
Texans maybe do need to invest in him at all
and maybe even as soon as next year start looking
for alternatives.
Speaker 2: But as we've.
Speaker 1: Gotten away from the horrible, inexcusable performances of the playoffs
and talking and thinking more about how again it keeps
getting drilled into my head. No run game, no offensive line,
Nico Collins out, Dalton Schultz getting hurt in the game.
Nick came, an inexperienced play caller on the road against
good defense. It's okay, you you can still win with CJ. Stroud.
I mean I was, I was like, I'm almost ready
to get him off the team immediately, and the more
I think about it, like, he can be fine, he
can have a good offseason, you can improve the situation
around him. He did, as I mentioned, bounce back from
a QB from you know, touchdown percentage, interception percentage QBR
all the yards in a temp all that he bounced
back from a sophomore slump. You can win with CJ. Strout.
You can't. Well, now I'm about to ask you an
unrealistic expected question. Okay, when you say win, are you
saying he's gonna get me to eleven and six every
year and we're gonna take our chances in the playoffs,
or are you saying this is a guy that's gonna
get us so thirteen wins a number one see the AFC,
and he's gonna take us to this super Bowl. He's
not gonna lift everybody the super Bowl because I mean,
it's a team game. Nobody's no quarterbacks ever won a
Super Bowl by themselves. But you can win with him.
Can he be Sam Donald? Can he be Jared Goff? Yes?
I do believe that because Sam Donald looked like a
disaster in the playoffs last year. People forget that, like
and we were all questioning what was going on in Seattle.
Now they signed Sam Donald? Is that even an upgrade
against genos Man? Sam Donald has moved past c J.
Stroud of course, So now CJ is right in the
middle of NFL quarterbacks. Now do you know that? And
and Sam Donald is how old twenty eight? C J.
Stroud's twenty four is? If this is a cop out
on my part, you need to call me out on it. Okay,
I'm not going to back what you say, but I'm
going to say, and I think I said this even
the day after the season ended, you have to give
him a clean slate for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, no, if you say on c J. Stroud's this
or that, I mean we're We're not on first take.
So you can have a measured take, Matt. It's okay,
all right. My measured take is this. I can't come
to this audience and say twenty six, twenty seven to
twenty eight year old c J. Stroud is going to
be any better than he was. I don't feel that
in my bones. But I'm not ready to trade him
for a seventh round pick. I mean there, because look
there they have purbole out there about him and how
bad he is and how the Texans goofed again is unfair.
We are about what just happened. He did have an
excellent rookie season. He did have a lot of things
going against him. He had a below average offensive line,
no real running game to speak of. His second best
offensive threat was his tight end. His number one threat
was not available in the playoff game. The reason why
I'm giving him benefit out is because the Texans have
to give him a benefit out. They don't have to
give him a big extension. They don't have to pick
up the fifth year option at this point. They have
until made to figure that out. But I am not
ready to say. Because there have been a lot of
quarterbacks that have had those one or two year flashes
and then all of a sudden they're done in three
or four years. There's no reason why we could think
that CJ couldn't be one of those guys. And also
CJ could be a twenty nine year old quarterback that
could be doing this as well, like to Sam Darnold.
Problem is if he does it ROSSI, he'll be doing
another uniform because if he doesn't have a better twenty
twenty six, there will be no conversations about an extension
here in the long term for him. They won't do it,
and they can't do it. Hannah won't let that happen.
Could CJ. Stroud be in a situation where you have
a great running a back, you have a great running
back tandem, you have a good offensive line, you have
a really smart, innovative play caller, you have arguably the
number one wide receiver in football, and a couple of
good guys behind him, and throw twenty five touchdowns and
fourteen picks because that's what Sam Donald did. Okay, but
I got one more for you here and we're gonna
get time sorries. How does a team fix RB one
in an offensive line and a wide receiver to all
in one offseason? That's an interesting like it's too much work. Yeah,
it's probably not gonna happen all at once. And that's
an interesting layer to the conversation because as you're trying
to build that offense. Sam Donald's making thirty three million
dollars a year. That makes it easier to add and
have pieces around him. Correct. Baker Mayfield, when he first
came to Tampa Bay was on a smaller contract. That
makes it easier to fill the roster around him. And
by the way, Will Anderson Junior is going to become
the highest paid defensive player in the NFL this year
or whatever it happens. Yeah, perhaps we had Joel Corey
on yesterday. Do you like him? Yes, he was very good.
He mentioned how Micah Parsons reset market so much that
he might get more of an Aiden Hutchinson. It was
forty six million a year from Michaeh Parsons. So Aiden
Hutchins is a deal was forty five million a year.
So you either hear yeah, he's either gonna reset the
market and be above Michah Parsons or there's gonna be
a situation where he'll just be nestled right under it
or around it. So yeah, he don't get paid all
right there? It is so yours? So how soft are
you right now about this? You're such a child, Matt.
I'm trying to have this layered, nuanced conversation about a
franchise quarterback is he or isn't he? And getting the
correct pieces around, and all you want to talk about
is how soft you are? No the house soft your stances?
That's what I said, Yeah, I was you know I
was angry with CJ. Stroud, and you know what, I've
let the anger dissipate. You know, I've done a lot
of thinking on it. Situation wasn't great. I'm not mad
at him, I'm disappointed there. It is time for you
to apologize. You've said some things this week that you regret,
and we're here for you. Seven one three two one
two five seven ninetis seven one three two one two
five seven ninety. It is a Matt Thomas show with Ross.
We're gonna wake the strippers up in about a half
an hour here on the show. If you want to
chime in and say you're sorry to people that you

during the show yesterday. Any points did you ever say
anything mean or nasty or rude? I don't evenmber bringing
you up, Okay, I mean you you listened some right.
I listened to Sam. I did not listen to the
whole thing. I did listen to I just don't get it,
which I thought was interesting, but then I fell asleep.
That's fine. Cathartic thirty minutes in major market for RADIHO
gonna be found on Sports Talk seven ninety Matt Thomas
Show with Ross. Maybe you simply call in and say this.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, so sorry.
Speaker 1: Jo Yep, you were a fool, you were an idiot.

your chest. You'll feel better. We can actually record him
and send it to the people you love if you

one three two one two five seven ninety seven one

He's right here on Sports Talk Sa Monnie Jonathan, do
you want to apologize to the Chamberlain family? Go ahead,
and the four thousand witnesses and the recorded radio call.
Speaker 2: Let me let me just play this quick, litten, let
me play real quick.
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go, get out the rebout luckin Bill
buck to Luck what.
Speaker 2: You made it?
Speaker 1: The fans are on the floor.
Speaker 2: I just want to sit here and come let's say, uh,
I don't know my young age is showing and I'm
not having some questions to ask myself. It's want to
apologize that I might have heard that and just you know, to.
Speaker 6: Ross I'm sorry, Sorry, Jason, much to learn, much to
learn with life comes experience and knowledge and wisdom.
Speaker 1: Oh we're playing more than audio? Sure? Why not'll be
better than our show one seven the final score in
that game.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm trying to think, Ross. I feel like
I apologize a lot on a daily basi. I don't
I should start banking these things and writing them down. Okay,
I got nothing at this point. I don't believe you.
Speaker 2: I loved, I loved your misgivings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to apologize to running with the hard
and soft thing there. Oh, you're right, I'm sorry that
I mentioned that your stands has gotten soft.
Speaker 7: Forgive me that.
Speaker 1: I apologize your your your soft stance. Ross, what you
got this week? I can apologize to see j Stroud
for for even even attempting to float the idea that
he was a sunk costs. It's very rude, it's unfair. Young.
Situation is an ideal. Maybe that that stance window being correct,
but he needs a bit of a more leash. I'm
gonna can I push back a little bit on that.
I don't think the leash side He's been the league
three years. Ross he's got that stuff. Forty games under
his belt.
Speaker 2: C J.
Speaker 1: Stroud, I mean, Sam Darnold's been eight years? How many
years has uh? How many years has Trevor Lauren has
been five or six? More? Right? Yeah? For sure? How
do you think who feels better about their quarterback? Trevor
Lawrence and Jacksonville or Houston Texans fans in c J.
Stroud Jacksonville and we were not saying that night, we
were saying how.
Speaker 2: Much he sucked.
Speaker 1: When you get Liam Cohen offensive genius in the building,
you look a lot better. You got Nick Kylee in
the Rocket and the Texans building down. You're making me upset,
first time play caller, back to back years. How are
we feeling? C J. Stroud? If he doesn't work out here,
is going to be a Baker Mayfield slash Jared Goff
slash whoever Gino Smith and Seahawk type candidate to have
a resurgence in a better situation. Yeah. Look, I think
is a good guy, so it's you know, it's easy
to root for him. I don't think he's nearly as
arrogant as saying Codder Murray is or a Baker Mayfield.
I mean We've got rooting interest in this. We want
good guys to finish and succeed. Yes, no one's ever said, well,
c J doesn't put the work in. C J doesn't care.
He doesn't look at his film. He's the last to arrive,
the first. There's none of that stuff. None of those
whispers are out around the Texans facility. So the problem
is his biggest detriment is something I don't know if
he'll ever shake. And I think I think it's unsteady feet.
I think it's decision making. And I don't all of
a sudden think the light bulb is gonna turn on
and go. He was a below average decision maker, all
of a sudden, he's an elite deficient decision and his
rookie season, one of his greatest attributes was making difficult
throws under pressure. So then what happened? Did the concussions
get to him, which very well could be the case.
Look that that's talked, that's another layer like we've talked about.
I mean, there's a lot of layers on this onion
that could be possible. I'm not his neurologist, I'm not
as psychologists. I don't know if he's had some sort
of damn multiple concussions that he's missed multiple weeks both times,
and is there something that can't get repaired? I don't
know what I do know real, you're a good therapist.
You want you to get a lot of the phone calls.
I'm trying to help, you, know what, I'm trying to
help everybody? All right, online to it says I'm sorry
to Matt. I love these things. Okay, Uh Cameron on
seven ninety Cameron, what are you apologizing for? Matt?
Speaker 3: I want to apologize about two weeks ago, you said, uh,
you're talking about Robert Kraft and I sent you a
tweet making a joke and I checked my Twitter about
a couple hours later and I saw that.
Speaker 1: You blocked me. I just want to apologize. I didn't
mean to upset you or you know, I was being
I was being a jackass. So really, what's your Twitter account?
Speaker 3: Anadized mind?
Speaker 1: What is it that's weird? What is it again? Anidized mind? Hmm,
all right, I'll have to Uh, I don't know. I'll
have to go look and see if you're worthy of
being unblocked. Yeah, that's a lot of words. A N O. D.
I z e d mind. What made you think of that?
Speaker 3: Oh, gu I used to work at a shop where
we would do anadizing.
Speaker 1: I thought it was cool. Okay, well let me tell
you something. You calling an apologizes, he means the world does.
So you got a puncher's chance. I can't give you
a great chance, but I'll give you a puncher's chance.

a muter earth. Yeah, that's probably right. All right, here
we go. Let's get a quick time out and if
you got look y'all, let me tell you all. I
know it ain't the hottest time in sports, but this
is about a segment about you apologizing for the mean

paypy about it?
Speaker 2: Is it gonna make you?
Speaker 1: It's gonna one of the cockles of your heart when

her letter of intent. You know, I will say there
are many negatives about you, Matt, I mean, move laundry list,
come on, but you are you are a great, loving,
proud father, and that that's one of your best attributes. Well,
I mean I basically already paid for her college with
the club's follyblways seen is very cute, and the like
the TV pieces that we're done as well, very endearing,
is very sweet. All right, that's maybe the nice thing
you've ever said about me in the history of this show,
and I'm wishing your daughter the best. Uh, let me
know where to drop the nil check. Oh I want
to if y'all want to get your nil out there,
let's go at Carly Thomas. I think it's V Ball
twenty twenty six. Whatever's got it. She's on Instagram too,
so we'll get that going. I'm in forty nine here
on the program. It is the Matt Thomas Or with
Ross Everyone three two one, two five seven nine zero
coming up at the top of the hour. We got
the news at New Wok, the strippers up, and then
we're going to get to how and you know what,
I need to apologize to influencers. I don't like to
paint with a broad brush, so I won't. I will
say ninety percent of influencers are twenty four year old douchebags. Okay,
Oh I'm sorry. So who are you apologizing to. I'm
gonna apologize to what the NFL is having with their
new officer. They're going to bring to the super Bowl
this week so we can get unprecedented coverage of the
Big Game. So we'll have that for you coming up
in a few minutes. Okay, let's take a look here. Oh,
the Vikings just fire their general manager. Hmmm, isn't that
a blip. I do not apologize, by the way, for
saying that Nick ca Sera doesn't keep his job. If
the Texans don't make it the AFC Championship, you shouldn't
have to apologize just to take I mean, you could
be right, but I if they make the If they
don't make the playoffs, that's one thing, no doubt. I
don't know that there's no doubt. I mean, what if
they're I don't know, what if C. J. Stroud gets
hurt and they're like nine and eight? You know, I
guess you're I mean, there's a million scenarios that can
play out, all right. Joining us next the man who
was at that hundred point game, James seven.
Speaker 8: James, Yeah, yeah, good morning, Uh Liberty White, Matt, I'm
glad to see you're back in the Ticks bandwagon.
Speaker 1: I am, Oh, good good.
Speaker 8: I'm glad to hear that I need to apologize. Actually,
so this turned out pretty good. I uh kind of
imitated you yesterday. I thought it was funny, but apparently
not many others did.
Speaker 1: But James, let me tell you about me. Let me
tell you about James. You're a good man. You call
the show. We appreciate you listening every day. It means
a lot to us. The only thing that you're it's
negative about you is you're not funny. Other than that,
you're probably a really great person.
Speaker 8: Oh I'm hilarious. Jonathan thinks so funny?
Speaker 1: Jonathan.
Speaker 2: Do you think James that impressing? Yesterday? It was kind
of spot on?
Speaker 1: All right? Let's hear it?
Speaker 2: Oh do we have it?
Speaker 8: Oh? You want to? You want to hear it? So
you want to hear the original one?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't care.
Speaker 8: Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Connley or Jennifer Anston.
Speaker 1: That was your impersonation of me. Wait, you didn't say
Jennifer Lawrence.
Speaker 8: That changes the mask, can't Well yeah, yeah, I didn't
say Jennifer.
Speaker 1: Jennifer Garner. Yeah, Garner's in fourth place of the lot.
Speaker 2: Now you put them on the spot though.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, I can't do your voice. I have to
get a little more femline.
Speaker 1: To do that.
Speaker 8: But you can't do your voice, my god. But nevertheless, any.
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell Jonathan? Why didn't you tell James
what you asked? Me a couple of days ago about James,
what to ask?
Speaker 8: You know, go ahead, I can take it.
Speaker 1: You can't go ahead? Where do you go up at
the one hundred point game? What did you want to say?
Speaker 8: I want to say that that actually did happen, because
you have to realize what kind of defense you use
up against.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's up.
Speaker 8: Against five, six or four white guys. So it wasn't
hard to score one hundred points in that in those days. Plus,
if Kobe scored eighty against the competition he was up against,
it was well could score one hundred against those all
those white guys he played up against. So it wasn't
that hard to believe to be actually.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know about this, Jonathan,
but white guys can't play defense, yeah, exactly. Or they
could not jump either.
Speaker 2: I've seen mcclub he can jump.
Speaker 1: He can jump a little bit. Thank you James for
the phone call. By the way, I guess I didn't
see this. I didn't see it because obviously I was
calling the game. Was Craig Acaman fighting with Ryan about
whether or not Craig Aciman could dunkle basketball?
Speaker 4: Was?
Speaker 1: Wait, what, Matt, you know Craig. I do know Craig,
and you know.
Speaker 9: How he can get fixated yes on a topic, yes,
and then continue to bring it up, especially if you're
doubt him or say something negatively towards his position.
Speaker 1: Oh oh. He he mentioned that he could dunk when
he was young, which I have reason to doubt if
he's saying it. Ryan Hollins wasn't doubting him, but he
was sounded surprised, and apparently Calvin Murphy said he didn't
believe him, and then Vanessa was, you know, they were
kind of messing with him. You also mess with Craig
when when you know it's gonna burn him up. And
so Vanessa was messing with him and saying she needed
to see tape. So he kept bringing it up how
he could dunk. He's like, you guys are calling He
wasn't saying it this way, but this was the He
was doing it in a much less harsher tone. But
basically you could tell like he's like, you guys think
I can't dunk, and I can dunk like he.
Speaker 2: We brought it up like three or four times of
the broadcast.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I've known Craig for probably at
least twenty five years, and like most of us, Craig
has gained weight in twenty five years. He when I
first met him, he was a string bean. I'm gonna
go ahead and say he could do it. Yeah, Craig
did play a little bit of division in baseball. He
moved around from school to school to school. But I
think he he once told me he could top out
of like ninety one on the gun, which is not bad.
He was a pitcher and a catcher. Yeah, pitcher and
a catcher. That's right. He was a pitcher and a
catcher in college. Where else would he would be? Yeah,
right in baseball, correct, the sport of baseball where there's
pictures and catchers.
Speaker 2: That's wrong.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? I don't know you're trying
to I'm not trying to do anything, all right, By
the way, Cleveland Buckner on the Knicks. I'm trying to
find the tallest player that played in that game. He was.
He was six foot nine, six nine guys back in
the day imagining that everyone else was well, oh, Darrel,
I'm sorry. Darryl Iimhoff was six foot ten, but he
only played twenty minutes in that game. So you had
one guy who was six ten, one guy was six',
nine everybody else six six and under in that game
looks like against on The New York knickerbockers and how
many shots it will? Take, uh he was thirty six
of sixty. Three and this is why he scored one
hundred because he was a bad free throw shooter his whole.
Career but he made twenty eight out of thirty. TWO
i don't think we would if we were there for the.
Game we probably didn't enjoy it WERE i, mean we
were kind of meserrized by the, number but was probably,
going what is this guy trying to score a? Hundred,
oh he is going to score a? Hundred and wasn't
that the year that He there was a year where
he shot he shot underhand and made like sixty percent
of his free, throws but then he thought it looked
like sissy, stuff so he went back to the regular
way and then went back to shooting like fifty percent
or Under. Yeah, yeah they don't. Know no one's gonna
ever shoot underhand on regular bites ever, again because they're
gonna be made fun. Of and a lot of bad
free throw shooters what if it goes.
Speaker 2: In who?
Speaker 1: Cares they apparently. CARE i, know let's, go let's, go
let's go. Out don't get me started On alpi's free.
THROWS i Love, alpy but he's leaning into his. Shots,

Pasted it's like they're here and, there So, ross we
need to explain something to the. Audience next week will
be super Intense Super bowl coverage From San. Francisco all
the national folks will be. There, yes THE nfl is,
like you know, what we need to continue our marketing
brand and we're going to create something called A Chief Kindness. Officer,
basically this guy is going to give you angles of
The Super, bowl not necessarily x's and, o's but just
the gun behind the scenes kind of stuff that the youngins.
Like the social. Influencers, well the hired a guy named
Dar Man dharma as His Chief Kindness. Officer now he
has a huge following on YouTube AND i Believe. Instagram
he's got twenty five million subscribers on his Dar Man.
Studios the content is mainly scripted short movies about twenty
to thirty second minutes in length that features celebrity appearances
in thought provoking titles Like mikey falls In love with
YouTuber And Vegan Teacher Bands All Meet Inside. School the
videos apparently are quite popular and have an uplifting, message
which is clearly what inspired THE nfl to partner with. Him,
well apparently this guy's got a checkered. Past, yeah people
ARE i don't. KNOW i never heard of this. Guy
he's got four million followers On. Instagram in twenty twenty,
three news was made as workers in his videos protested
what they claim to be poor working. Conditions man denied
the accusations and there was never ever any proof one
way or the. Other but you go look At Adam
schefter's tweet yesterday announcing didn't this guy name what is his?
Name darn? Man and there are lots of videos this
guy not acting very very friendly and not very. Kind
this is the, again the new era of media coverage
forgetting about talking about things that are relevant to the,
game which AGAIN i don't know if people particularly care.
ABOUT i, MEAN i don't know if there's gonna be a,
lot a whole lot of x's and o's About New
england And, seattle except for the national pundits and those
folks obviously In boston And seattle that would be covering
the game a lot closer than we. Would for you and,
me we have an interest in the, game we want
it to be, good but we're not gonna be sitting
there thinking about whether or Not Christian gonzalez is gonna
pick off a couple Of Sam darneld. PASSES i, mean
you may, be but that's not gonna be the top
of my. Mind so you got to figure out ways
to reinvent. Yourself and this is what This so, basically
This Chief Kindness officer, is let's take a mega influential,
Influencer let's give him a, Title let's give him all,
access and he can shoot some really, funny cool. Videos.
Hmmm it just AND i guess the main THING i
want to say is it's just probably not for for
not you and for. Me, YEAH i, MEAN i don't
understand exactly what's happening. Here i'm not gonna pay attention to.
It is It i'm reading ON Sb nation this guy
has felony charges, yes Hydro ponzi. Scheme, yes he's basically
a young guy that has had some bad business deals
and that have been covered up because he's insanely popular
on social media. Streets it's just. WEIRD i JUST i
don't get. IT i, mean THE nfl does a really
good job for like all the sports leagues in this
country do a great job of giving us behind the scenes.
Stuff why would you want to PUT i, mean is
there a segment of the population that's just gonna be, like,
oh thank, god you're covering what The seahawks are eating
for lunch. Today you know WHAT i? Mean it is. Weird,
WELL i think we need a chief kindness officer up, Here, Matt,
So i'm glad you brought that. Up we have the
two guys in the, morning you and, Me, yes the
two afternoon. Guys, yes all of us have our own
individual show. Producers we Have. Gordy. Yes who should be
the chief hindness officer Of Sports talk seven Ninety Adam?
Clinton no, chance, CHEAT i hate everyone, Officer Adam. Clinton,
WOW i don't know who's the nicest. GUY i gotta
take myself off the. List you're, right it's got to be.
Me this. Is this is a Torch i'm willing to, Carry.
MATT i, mean, honestly you're probably the least judge of
everybody that we work. With that's. GOOD i don't Know
Cole won enough to say if he's a judge her or. Not,
hmmm he only judges like. Judge he wears shirts of
mid LEVEL sec. Football, yeah he's Wearing hawaiian shirts Every.
Friday he seems like a pretty chill, Dude, wexler unless
his wife is getting under his. Skin oh, Yeah, clinton
it just hates. Everybody so that's not gonna have wex. Curmudgeon,
yeah Wex. NO i would have to say either YOU
i got to be met by, DEFAULT i mean d. Animal,
yeah and called somebody, buddy so that kind of has that's.
True i'm his. Buddy, Yeah like if he was gonna give,
you if he's gonna drop an F U i, you he'd, say, hey,
buddy f, You hey. Buddy he does put that in
play a. Lot, YES i don't. Know you, know here's
what THE nfl is doing to a much bigger picture of.
This they're they're trying to recreate new ways to gain.
Audience they're treating creating new ways to gain. Games they're
new looking for new ways to generate. Revenue my assumption
is This Chief Kindness officer is going to be doing
a bunch of nice videos about how cool it is
to be in a wine country at three o'clock and
on a practice field at. Seven that's gonna be brought
to you BY x Y. Z i don't THINK nfl
is doing anything out of the kindness of their. Heart
they're they're they're always no matter what they're trying to.
Do what kind of economic impact cannect give us to
the bottom? Line you know who shouldn't mind? That, honestly
THE nfl. Players THE nfl players should absolutely give any
sort of access they want to anything THE nfl, does
because at the end of the, day THE nfl monetizes
about everything they, do and that monetization goes into a
big piggy, bank and at the end of the year
they split up the revenues and they, say this amount
of money that THE nfl generates, must by, rule because
the it was collectively, bargained must go TOWARDS nfl. Salaries.
YEAH i don't know what the heck is going on
with this whole. THING i, MEAN i guess they're just
looking for some pr but the reality is. Effacent apparently
the kids like that he's Been he's been in Like
Nickelodeon Kids Choice. Awards he's been nominated in two thousand and,
four twenty, four and twenty. Five he won some kind
Of Shorty, award which is like for TikTokers and YouTubers and.
Instagrammers but you know what that. Means that means he's
going to get access to players and coaches that perhaps
legitimate members of the media will not, receive which is
going to create a firestorm because the legit guys are
trying to get their story center and be, LIKE i
didn't no chance to talk to you WELL, X y
AND z Because Drake may was busy having a vanilla
yogurt pulled over his. Body what you, know doing crazy
stuff like. That, OKAY i don't Think Drake may is
going to do, that But i'm just saying because, everybody you,
know all these players have, responsibilities media, responsibilities and if
THE nfl is pulling them away because The Chief Kindness
officer wants to a story about what his game, day
how he ties his, shoelaces it's going to ultimately get
this is not going to end, well, yeah it feels
like this might not EVEN i, mean can this? GUY
i mean multiple different incidents where he's got in charge with. Felonies,
yeah thirteen counts of hindness and felony, charges Defrauding Oakland
city beautification, program submitting fraudulent checks made it appear as
though he was paying contractors more than he. Was oh my.
God he played no contest a Hydro ponzi. Scheme he
was growing. Weakness he started a business Called We Grow Hydroponic,
cannabis this business in twenty. Ten what, so you're not that?
Young accused by His now he's forty. One wait a,
minute you're forty. One, Yeah i'm. Young what do you?
Mean why don't you do a? Chief why don't you
be the chief? Kindness you? Go you know what you,
are The Chief kindness officer of seven. Only, yeah we
want to. See we want to see behind the scenes
in the station and how everybody gets along so, well
and everything is, kumbayan the equipment, works and people are
always gonna lovable. Mood, No, matt but life is going
to throw you curve. Balls mm. Hmm you gotta you
gotta keep swinging. Baby all, Right so, yeah good luck
with The Chief Kindness officer of THE. NFL i don't
even think this is politically. CORRECTNESS i think it's just, just,
hey we need to get twenty two year olds to
look at our TikTok. Videos it feels like he's going
to be removed from his post by The Super. Bowl,
YEAH i think you're probably. Right all, right twelve twenty,
Eight here on The Matt Thomas show With, ross if
you want to jump in and anything Goes? Friday seven
to one three, two one two five seven nine zeros
one lasting about This Chief Kindness. Officer the ultimate total
on This ross is thirteen felony counts of fraud and
he took a plea deal to avoid prison. Time. Man,
yeah there's there's no way somebody did not do their
due diligence on.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 1: Uh all, right it is The Matt Thomas show With.
Ross what is on your? Mind? Anything anything Goes? Friday he,
said one, three two one two five seven nine zero
sevent one three two one two five seven. Ninety. Uh
The wemby rumors are out. There the latest THAT i
heard WHEN i was driving home this morning in the
wee hours The Western conference teams that are showing the
most interests would be The Golden State warriors and The Minnesota.
Timberwolves apparently the we already know the rockets of not
training interest and apparently the same thing goes with The San.
Antonios first they're, like you know, what we're thirty one and.
Fifteen we Got, wenby we got a lot of good
young guys around, it so we got draft. Picks we
don't think that he would make that big of a
difference or what it'd be willing to give up too
much for. That Eastern conference teams that are showing interest
would include The Miami heat and The Toronto. Raptors you know, what,
ross if he wants to play the rest of HIS nba,
career lose the next handful of years In toronto and
have zero problem with, that sounds, great sounds. Amazing do
you see that his mom posted a picture of him In. Miami,
no it would say it was just a picture Of
jannis In, miami while the stories were all leaking about
him going somewhere. Else it was like him on The heat,
COURT i think with The heat logo prominently. Featured so
now they're just trying to Agitate miami Heat. Yannis let
me tell, you as long as anywhere in The, East
i'm more than. Okay, yes. Agreed, now what they were
saying about The Golden state deal is if they were
if he was a go To Golden, state it would
be more of about the, future not necessarily the present
that they're kind of kind of stuck where they. Are
they would have to Send Jimmy butler To milwauk in
return and give up a lot of draft. Pieces BUT
i don't know Is janna is still very much in the,
prime but he's about to hit the not so much.
Prime he's he's on the downside of his. CAREER i
don't think that's. It there's Any, yeah and we talk
About Kevin durant how great he is at thirty, seven
but that's also he can shoot the lights. Out j
cannot shoot the lights.
Speaker 2: Out.
Speaker 1: Now he's always going to be able to win with
some of well because of his length and he is
skilled inside the, paint, yes but he's but he doesn't
have that game That Kevin durant does so, anywhere and
he's gonna have to go a full ninety four feet
Where kevin doesn't have to do that more times than.
Not so if he was to go To Golden, state
obviously it would be a Huge. NOW i, mean wherever
he goes is gonna be a huge national. Story but
do you see that team with an older, staff an
Older draymond in a not one hundred percent jan it's
but maybe eighty five. Percent it's based on his peak
contending a year from now THAT i it feels like
to me that That Golden state's just trying to stay.
Relevant that would be and you know That milwaukee's gonna
be asking for a major haul. Now Losing Jimmy, butler
especially after his season ending, situation is not that typic
of a. Loss But Golden state does has kept a
lot of its draft picks because they knew at some
point they couldn't rely On Stephen curry to be the
guy that could score thirty five points in them every single. Night,
yeah it would be pretty difficult to turn. Around i'm
trying to think of teams recently who were, really really
good and then had a bit of a swoon and
then bounce back right, back or really The warriors have
mean they The warriors beat The rockets in the playoffs last,
year it's not like they. Did they did and you
know what if was It curry that got? Hurt? Right
If curry would have played with they've given The Minnesota
timberwolves a better. Option by the, Way minnesota's also being
a team that's being talked about as a potential trade.
Chip New york may be Offering Karl Anthony towns For
jannis is part of a. Deal who knows on That
Carl Anthony town's going From New york To. MILWAUKEE i
Think Carl Anthony towns is liked The New YORK i
don't think he's. Loved and the next up showing a
history of being able, to you, know pull up these big. Moves,
yeah maybe they're that they should be the. Favorites what
are the what are the odds makers saying these? Days you,
Know i'm not paying attention to, that BUT i Just
i'm sure usually we get a get an. Email, yeah
can you please mention her? Company? Please now we're not
going too, Sorry i'll say, this AND i don't mean
to get a too early gut feeling of. THIS i
would not automatically make the team That jannis goes to
THE nba favorite to win the whole. Thing, now if
he goes to An Eastern conference, team then MAYBE i
would say that this is a guy that could could
could could a team that maybe a three or four
seed and make them the number one, seed or a
team that'd be hard to stop come playoff. TIME i
don't think Putting giannis On Golden state's gonna threaten the
supremacy Of Oklahoma, City, denver Perhaps houston and sand and
turning on The West minnesota would be very interesting to
have him And edwards on the same basketball. Team my,
gosh that's that's that's sixty points a game from two
guys right. There, yeah we would just be guessing on
how many more games you, HONEST i, mean how many
more SEASONS i should say of this high he's he's been.
INSANE i, mean he's shooting sixty four percent from the.
Field is there any part of you that Is and,
Look i'll be honest with, you, Folks i've not spent
a lot of time looking at THE i, MEAN i
look at the sheer numbers Of. Gannest so when he
plays against The, rockets it's a it's you, know it's
not fun to call because he is so, good but
it has the way he's kind of approached all this
with booing the fans Of milwaukee and, mom as you,
said putting the photo out of him In, miami is
he trying to go heal on us right? HERE i
think he's always been an honest guy and had his
shoulder on his SLEEP i, mean what is it hard
on his? Sleeve? Yeah, sure? Sure why not all those?
THINGS i think he's always been kind of an, emotional,
loud outspoken guy talking about wanting to stay In. Milwaukee
remember he used to post those videos, about, oh well
did things with he and his, wife who clearly they get.
ALONG i think she's got like they got like five
kids together or something to this. Point well else you
can do In. Milwaukee that's. True you ere snowed. In
things happened fourteen degrees outside. Day isn't that Why september
is like the most popular birth month nine months from
the one from the. WINTER i never thought of it that.
WAY i was A june. Kid so, Well i'll let
you think on. That, Yeah i'm going to speaking of big,
men and you, know and you KNOW i was on
the show yesterday with.
Speaker 2: You.
Speaker 1: So wemby and The spurs beat The rockets obviously. Right m.
Hm Does wemby have to fall down on the, ground
on the, ground on the court every single time he's?
Fouled is he that? Burts he's pretty, Light he's. SO
i mentioned this on the game Broadcast. Rossy if he
doesn't learn how to take fouls, better he's going to
break bones weekly in THE. Nba so he needs to
go to Where what did it? Do what DID uh
to a dude to learn how to fall down? Better
was it jiu jitsu or? Judo Or i'm being serious on. This,
YEAH i Know i'm saying like he can, train but
unless they're JUST i don't THINK nba players are bullying.
HIM i don't think they, Go, hey if we're going
to go Foul jannis Or, wemby we're gonna make it
as hard as. Pober we're going to make sure he
feels the pain of. It he's just fra is? He
can you say a seven foot four guy is? Frail
dispersing impact techniques such as jiu jitsu And spry inspired, Methods,
Matt but it excuse, me it felt like to me
the other night that THE i don't know how many
times he was, foul but it felt like eighty percent
of the time he was falling on the. Ground and
that ground is a hard. Court it's a hardwood. Court
it's not gonna there's no give to. It, well he
only had to play twenty eight minutes and. Change it's
all he's. Playing by the, way he's scoring north of
what twenty five at, night and he's only playing about
twenty nine minutes a. Game spurs are doing all those
things and keeping him, fresh and they're winning. Games they're
in the two, SEED i, think and they've had really
good success against the thunder this. YEAR i, know we
don't want to say this In. Houston we're not gonna say.
It then.
Speaker 2: They're.
Speaker 1: Dangerous they're very. Dangerous we're not gonna say. It they're,
deep well. Coached the two seed and the one seed
ahead of. Them they're three and one against this.
Speaker 2: Year is that?
Speaker 1: Right against The Oklahoma? City? Yes, okay two to one
against The. Rockets one more game In San. Antonio i'm
just saying you want to. Go i'm not. Saying i'm just, saying,
yeah when is It? March? Huh it's In. March it's
A sunday.
Speaker 4: Night.
Speaker 1: Teen let me check my calendar on this big old
THING i.
Speaker 2: Got oh did you get him a? Daytime?
Speaker 1: Yeah uh? Huh you like? It it's maybe a little too. Big, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no you needed a bigger. One No i'm not NOW
i needed a bigger. One but this is too. Big,
no you need to you you chicken scratch your way
through that. Thing, no it's, fine but this is too,
much especially it doesn't. WAIT i don't have to talk about.
This but it's like the the calendar. Part you have
to open it up both. Sides it's too. MUCH i
bought a gift For ross and he doesn't appreciate.

Daytimer you learned to acquire or appreciate, it even when
it's bigger than it should. Be twelve forty four On
The Matt Thomas show With. Ross if you want to chime,
In god knows we could use you at this. Point
we've gone to daytimer talk on the, show. Folks that's.
It we're going to back, up tight end and talk
when we come. Back got to do something right seven
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one
three two one to two five seven ninety's and anything Goes,
friday it's clarded the. Case uh ross that you responding
to your dms On. INSTAGRAM i think you want to
check out some. Food, OH i know where his? Motive
he's he's certainly motivated, today is he? Not twelve forty
four here on seven Ninety but ALSO i was having
this great conversation with you and you were already in
the veto. Line you know you.
Speaker 2: Weren't you don't know that what great conversation you would, have,
know because you are trying to figure out if you're
gonna get chicken or?
Speaker 1: Beef oh DID i miss the? Segment? No, NO i
was trying to bounce something off of, you and we
heard that you're already had headed for the lunch. Line so, oh,
okay it's, Okay, YEAH i mean it was free. Lunch
no lock, couck you wouldn't be in line if you weren't.
Here come on, now, okay you got. Me uh seven
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one
three two one two five seven nine. Zero. Uh i'm
trying to, think what is anything we've. Missed we talked
about how Much i've appreciated Calling Kevin durant's, games and
now he's scoring thirty points a night despite being thirty
seven years, old and you can't hide. HIM i, mean
he's he's the main goat. GUY i, mean a man
has had some good scoring games this. Year he's got
twenty plus and a bunch of games outbring wakes up
a Twenty Typically tari you, know scores fifteen when he.
Plays barr's kind of running up and down a little.
BIT i think when it comes to The, rockets the
expectations are so high that if there's any blemish along the, way,
it's oh my, god this team, sucks you know WHAT i.
Mean that's HOW i kind of feel. It and you
have people on the for, you Tab cruz Saying udoka's
not a bad, coach like not a good, coach And
udoka's got to, go and, like come, on, man they're
twenty nine and seventeen of The. Rockets they are two
games back Of denver for the three. Seed they are
a half game in front Of minnesota for the, five
and The lakers are eight and a half. Out by
the way you, SPEAKING i was talking about The lakers
a little bit. Here there are there are a fair
amount of, rumors and again rumors are only what they're,
worth but that they The Cleveland cavaliers maybe kicking the
tires On. LEBRON i got a new you for, what,
well for two. Things either to be, traded WHICH i
fl The lakers you can't. Do you're still you're still
trying to go all in for this, year even though
you're right now the sixth seed in The. West but
he is going to be a free agent at the
end of the, year and that if he's going to
go to keep his career, alive wouldn't it feel kind
of apropos that he finished his career where it. STARTED
i gotta be honest with, You i'd like to See
lebron end as A. CAVALIER i guess he has been
Mister akron Slash cleveland for eighty percent of his. Life
pregating about the basketball, SIDE i mean that's where he
grew up and he played in most of HIS nba
career There, now he's obviously had success both In miami
and with The. Lakers NOW i know he's got bigger
fish to find in his. World he wants to get
into movies more AND tv and maybe ownership OF nba
franchise And cleveland's not going to have that for. Him
but doesn't it kind of feel like that that's the
one safe space For lebron no matter where he, been
is has Been, Cleveland.
Speaker 2: Ohio it's always good to come, Home, Matt, yeah but
do they need? Him can they afford?
Speaker 1: Him, well, again if he's if he's gonna come back
at limited, dollars does he does he keep the limited
dollars that The lakers may offer him or does he
take the limited dollars That cleveland may OFF i, mean
there's no way he's going to be among the highest
paid players in THE nba for the rest of his.
CAREER i, mean He's i'm not gonna say he's gonna
be AN nba minimum, guy but he could be a
guy that would be maybe ten to fifteen million dollars a.
Year what you're, saying, man that's so that's. Ridiculous, well
in THE nba, world that's poultry for guys that have
had as long as Of curry as he's. Had, yeah
and would he do? THAT i mean he's been getting
paid a bunch of money by The. LAKERS i MEAN
i guess maybe he would because It's. Cleveland, YEAH i don't.
Know it's, again more stars leaving The west to go
to The. East i'm more than okay with im okay with.
It And Lebron james is a mostly faded. Star but
what is his comp right? Now is he a six?
Man if you, really if you put him on a,
really if you put him On Oklahoma, city what does
he should end? Up he's just so unique BECAUSE i, mean,
look he's averaging twenty two six point seven, assists six,
rebounds shooting fifty percent from the field right only thirty
two percent from. Three defense is non, existent minutes are restricted,
now very unique. CASE i mean these are Like Kevin
martin numbers with no. Defense, ooh you just give Him
Kevin Kevin. MARTIN i mean he's forty. TWO i Mean
i'm giving him a break or forty. One, Sorry but
he still does multiple things in the. FLOOR i mean
he can still play four different. Positions, yeah but his
defense isn't anywhere close to what it once. Was, yeah
he's averaging his lowest points per game since his rookie.
SEASON i. Think, Yeah, well, honestly if you what do
you think is left in his agenda the rest of the.
WAY i, mean he should. Retire think what's?
Speaker 2: That just?
Speaker 1: RETIRE i don't know the money's still good for. HIM
i you, know when you, know there are a handful
of athletes that have given, breaks Like Tom brady gave
The patriots a break for years so they could build around.
Him Dirk novinsky was an example that was brought up
last night that you, know he took lesser money and
stay In dallas to keep other guys around. Him Jalen
brunson took less money In New. York that's. Right lebron's
never been one of those kind of. Players he's always, said,
Hey I'll i'll help you build this, team but don't
FORGET i want to get paid. Too you would have
to probably take a philosophical change for him, to you,
know to to really go for what was the most
important thing that you would think most players want that
would be one more. Championship but if you are trying
to gain enough wealth to own a, franchise getting another
twenty five thirty million dollars you, know is putting that
in your picky bank and helping you do. That, now,
well another team in THE nba pay? That would the
hometown team do? That who? Knows would The lakers wanted
to do? That just Tons. Lebron it feels like to,
me the answered all those things are. No But lebron
to me comes across And i'm only going off a previous.
Experience it's still a guy that will go to the
highest bidder more than anything. Else And forbes says he's
worth one point three billion. Dollars what did he do
besides is it the shoe? Deals is it THE i
think he had.
Speaker 2: INVESTMENTS i think he's been doing a lot of investments
since he's very.
Speaker 1: Young let's see. This this is WHAT ai. Says, yeah.
Invested he co founded the Spring Hill, company which is
involved in, FILM tv and content. Creation, okay huge deals With.
Nike he has a lifetime contract With Nice Nike. Pepsi
he's made four hundred million dollars IN nba salary. Alone
he does dunk commercial With Kevin. Hart, yes, yeah what
is that? For math means it's for one of. Those, yeah, yeah,
YEAH i. CAN'T i GUESS i can look up more
of his. Investments so really the twenty part, owner he's
with the the The Red sox group what are they?
Called oh oh, yeah, yeah, YEAH i know what you're talking. About,
yeah he doesn't owned part of soccer teams To, Liverpool,
liverpool The finwake, group, RIGHT i think, So, yeah he's
the one for. Himself. Yeah so it is money and
built on. It, Yeah Finway Sports group and they own
The Red, sox they own The Pittsburgh, penguins they Own
Premier League's, liverpool which that's A big, SIX i mean
reigning Champion big. Six they're basically kind of, like maybe
not quite The, yankees maybe The. Dodgers yankees Are dodgers
long term of The Premier. League, YEAH Rfk. Racing so
he's diversed by his, funds that's for. Sure so maybe
maybe ten or fifteen million dollars doesn't make that big
of a. Difference, Oh Blaze. PIZZA i think he got
in pretty close to the ground floor Of Blaze. Pizza
i've supported. That that so good for. Him, yeah he's
he's doing quite. Well, YEAH i don't think The lakers
are gonna offer him big. Money and if it's The
lakers In, Cleveland, wow what's the fastest track to winning a?
CHAMPIONSHIP i would Say cleveland faster than The. Lakers he
also is a part owner of A C milan that's
one of the biggest clubs In. Italy, yeah, dude what
is the who does his? Taxes can you imagine Doing lebron's? Taxes?
Speaker 2: Italy Finway Group. England, well don't you like fifteen people
on your team Doing lebron's?
Speaker 1: Taxes you NEED h AND r and block and everybody
else's block. Too it's a good, Line. Matt i'm. Depressed,
YEAH i, MEAN i don't know how much is the?
Investor and Then Clutch, SPORTS i don't. Know, well the
next big thing he's gonna do is he's going to
go buy AN nba team or he's going to be
given the carte blanche to build an expansion. Team, oh
he's in hosted In lobos seventeen oh seven, tequila Which
i've never heard, Of so no is any good you,
KNOW i never heard Of it probably just tastes like
every other. Tequila, yeah is they're really a? Good is
there really a big difference to tequila. FLAVORS i, mean
when you get to this high end now people are,
LIKE i don't WANT i Want Don, JULIO i don't Want. Patron,
like all, right let's blind taste test. You let's, see
especially when you're just shooting, silver if you're doing On
yeho or you're doing like super In yeho with the
that's actually gonna have depths of flavors that you're gonna
drink either neat or on the. Rocks, absolutely there's a.
Difference but if you're just shooting but those that you
know What i'm gonna get on a, soapbox.
Speaker 2: Those are you just shooting silver?
Speaker 1: Tequila, like OH i gotta, DO i gotta Do, Petron
just do Some quervo. Silver it's basically the same. Thing
it's gonna cost you the. Half you want to look
cool and flashy and impress everybody with all this high end,
tequila and then you're just shooting. Silver get out of.
HERE i got a hot take for. You tequila snob
equals barbecue. Snob, okay that's. Wrong LIKE i, said it
depends if you're Doing if you're doing, gold that does
have different notes and depths of flavor and stuff like.
That but if you're just out with the boys and
shooting silver, tequila like spending extra AND i will say this,
too mixing up with the margarita because you're putting all
the all the other liqueurs in lime and orange juice
and all that other. Stuff so what you're doing is
you're diluting the higher. Quality so to a, point, yeah
maybe well tequila is not going to be as good
as a nicer. Patron but Like Cuervo, silver get the
job cuebo silver, margarita get the job, done folks that it.
Does you want to, order you want to order a
seventy five dollars. Margarita what you're doing is you're wasting good.
Tequila let me take you. Something there's another radio show

my top. Five no he's. Not Link, Martindale Bob, Barker Chuck,
Woolery Dick. Clark that's my.
Speaker 2: List it's.
Speaker 1: Awful Snoop doggs just on the outside looking. In, Oh
scoop dig when he Hosted The Jokers. Wild now you're

FINE i get. THAT i know how A mandel From,
dealer no DEAL i have him in. Seventh don't Forget
Rob lowe's hosting a show, Too rob Low, yeah that's.
GOOD i guess, no it's that's the thing is that
these these actors are running out of gig so they're
by default they're taking game, shows and they're taking away
from people that deserve game. Shows. ME i Thought rob
low was on That uh, yeah he was on That firefire.
Show well he still. Is. Austin oh They're Honky tonkin
and they're Act we're In, Austin. Texas we're going ride out.
Speaker 2: Horse into work and we're going honky talk all.
Speaker 1: Not, no they're Not. AUSTIN i s like five minutes
of it. Once, yes there's no show Called austin nine one. One, Yeah,
NO i would say nine to one one lone star
is what it's. Called, okay but it's all you're saying
it's based on Starring Rob low And Liv. Tyler, yeah
BUT i mean he's, yeah he's got these Gow.
Speaker 2: Go.
Speaker 1: Ahead let me tell you we do the same. Thing
we stereotyz. Stereotype, no we don't give us a call
on sixty SIX wfa and The New York. Jets how
we feeling About Aaron melynn Easy. Putts you, know we
could possibly do A boston. Accent we would probably figure
out a way to do. It For Patriot, Talk.
Speaker 2: Tom, Brady Bill, belichick this is an.
Speaker 1: Outrage they're kind of. Similar you gotta go More Poctaka.
Patriots you Gotta mentionburbs bella, Chick Mike. Rable. Yep isn't
it sicken You texans fans a little? Bit they're back,
Already they're gonna get wax And i'm gonna feel a
lot better if they win. It If i'll feel kind of,
sad but they still have AN afc. Championship, yeah BUT i,
mean because think about, this AND i was not trying
to be the leader of The patriots back their way.
In but they had the easiest schedule of all the playoff.
Teams check. Right, yes they took on in the first
round of the, playoffs AN La charger team who never
wins playoff games and had a horrible offensive. Line horrible offensive.
Line then the following week they had J stroud have
one of the greatest implosions IN nfl playoff. History, yeah
but now we're sounding like we're sounding Like Chris gordon
And i'm not. Done and then you get to play
The econnorston And Jared's dinham in the championship. Game, yeah
but we're going Full. Gordy who do they really? Play
that's what he does every year in college. Football but
who they won the, Championship that's who they really. Played, Okay.
Gordy texans won twelve, Games chargers won. Eleven they definitely
got a gift with The. Broncos, yeah and if they
want to win it, all they got to beat The,
seahawks WHO i will say are the best team in,
football most complete team in.
Speaker 2: Football.
Speaker 1: Yeah their defense was always, stout the way That darnold
And jack And smith And jigvie were working together last past.
Week was. Incredible, Yeah i'm trying to back away from
this seven to ten point win AND i can't do.
It i'm with, you which has a line move? Much
it really scares. Me did you AND i agree on
something that's not? Great But I'm i'm with. You let's. See, uh,
yes holding it four and a. Half totals went down
a tick from forty six and a, half WHICH i
got that, number thank. You NOW i think it's gonna
under as well forty five and a. Half now you're,
saying ALL i have to do is give The patriots
four and a half. Points that's. It mm, hmm very.
Easy where are?
Speaker 2: You where are you?
Speaker 1: Traveling has casinos next um? Nowhere not In. Indianapolis indiana's
got about about forty minutes away from. DOWNTOWN i don't
think they've got a sports, book AND i don't THINK
i thought they hit sports gambling? Though In? Indiana don't
they they have? Casinos, yeah but they don't HAVE i
don't think they have sport and does Does oklahoma have
gam sports? GAMBLING i don't think they. Do, YEAH i
think they, Do, OKAY i don't. Know ross that's but
you always tell me how Smart vegas. Is so why
Is vegas keeping this? Thing This this because The Super
bowl and you never put big spreads out between teams
no matter who there's in. It i'm telling, you maybe
there's a reason we should be WEARING i mean The. Patriots,
LOOK i think people are certainly taking them lightly because
of what we just lined, out but they've been taking
care of business against, everybody and especially if you wait
the end of the season rather than the whole total
of the, season the defense is playing a lot. Better
everything's kind of come come around for all for. Them
they're they're a pretty darn good. Team they're in the
freaking Super, bowl so it's not like they're. Terrible, YEAH
i Think vegas is saying that you you may have
a fluky, season but you can't be fluky to win
two playoff games in genu and four and a half
is not. NOTHING i mean four and a half is
kind of you, know EVERY nfl game is a one score,
game and four and a half is pretty. Meaty by the,
Way wayne says he is that Mcaulay couchett is STILL
i think he's in a series Called Fallout them On.
Amazon there you. Go so he came back BECAUSE i
mean he took a long hiatus and he hadn't been acting. Much,
oh by the, way he was Also catherine O'Hara was
uh the Funk housers On Kirby, enthusiasm crazy. SISTER i
forgot about. That, yeah SHE'S i mean just one of
the funniest female actresses of all, TIME i have no
question about. It just not like comedian, funny but just
comedic actress. Funny, yeah and she wasn't super, funny AND
i mean she was good and home, alone but it's
not like she was No she And kevin the whole. Time, Yeah,
kevin it's. Funny all of his siblings didn't do much for.
Careers think WHAT i really love is how great she
wasn't improvising those movies THAT i talked to you about
The christopher guest like best in show, Movies like they
improv those whole. Things like she's Just and that's Why
Kirby enthusiasm is the funniest show On earth because largely. Improved,
yeah it's, improv but it's not that great of. Improv,
oh it was amazing improv and some of it's good
some of it's a little too, much some of it
some of it's, good most of it's. Amazing And i've
watched every episode Of Kirby. Enthusiasm less than five of them,
sucked and that's pretty. Incredible went. On, okay we, debate
and sometimes we debate to. AGREE i think it's a good.
SHOW i don't think it's all time, elite BUT i
MEAN i looked The Rotten tomatoes AND IMDb all agree
with you more than. Me so what DO i? Know,
oh you know some. Things you know you're. Tequilas we
clearly found that out in the last second of the.
Show Thanks. Matt All, right we are fifteen minutes away
From Non Florida. Stories we are thirty minutes, away forty
five minutes away From catherine. O'Hara helly are not. Late
add on today's edition Of Helly Are. Not Rocket's Gonna
win Over, atlanta will discuss that we have the. ASTROS
i gotta mention this quickly again as, well uh signing
a acquiring a new picture if you had trade from The.
Giants details on him as. Well one sixteen On The
Matt Thomas show With Ross Anything Goes friday seven one, three, two, one, two, Five,
Sevenatti matt And ross with you today until two o'clock
and then THE a team will entertain the hell of
you between two and. Six rockets off until tomorrow to
take on The Dallas mavericks at seven point. Thirty that's
trying to go into the game tomorrow. Night it's a
seven thirty tip amount of seven o'clock because THE espn
folks are coming in to broadcast the. Game seven thirty town, anyways,
right what's? That oh, no It's. Houston i'm. Sorry, YEAH
i keep thinking the games In. Dallas it's here, Though, no,
no we need some. Home dallas is a seven thirty team, though, right, normally,
Yes dallas seven thirty. Team atlanta's a seven thirty. Teen
but there is a rule we have to have twenty
two and a half hours in BETWEEN nba games for both.
Sides so that's where they were ones that push the
game back to eight o'clock because we played, late and
The hawks also played a game on The East coast
and had a traveling From.
Speaker 2: Boston so, yeah apparently there's a sudden passing For catherine,
O'Hara by the, way one years. Old, Wrong good young,
GUYS i didn't know what she was UNTIL i lit
up all the movie shoes in that's My.
Speaker 1: Tyler really This, yeah that's.
Speaker 2: Nuts i'm hurting over here.
Speaker 1: Over the Hedge chicken little you will watch?
Speaker 2: Those, Yeah monster HOUSE, o it's all my rom.
Speaker 1: Man this is a tough. One it's in the. Front
it's on the very front page of The New York post. Website,
yeah AND i would, say especially when it's kind of it's,
sudden it's it's more. Shocking and So i'm trying to
find my Non flora story from The New York post.
Website oh, yeah. Yay everything Is florida related, everything. Hmm, Interesting,
yeah it's a woman That, YEAH i can't go read
The florida. Stories, Actually i'm. Curious man arrested for performing
act with vacuum cleaner because semi resorts the ONE i.
SAW i did see that. One, YEAH i did see that.
ONE i didn't want to get into two graphic details on.
That i'm gonna go To utah for my. Story and
it's actually a it's a storyline that was once a
very famous movie that come into real. Life so that'll
be our non floor story coming. Up all, Right so
The astros did make a. Trade they didn't get A
taiwanese picture that was formerly of The San Francsco. Giants
AND i feel like you AND i are gonna have
a little bit of homework to do when it comes to.
This there are so many Pitchers ross that think they're
on this twenty six man roster coming up for next.
Year that's, true it doesn't make. Sense, Yeah Chandler room
did put out his roster projection recently on The athletic
and we went. Through we went to the lineup by
the way too. Yesterday, okay you can. Guess, well let
me just give it to. You let's let's start with the.
Outfield Cam smith and, Right Jake myerson, Center Zach colon.
Left that makes sense because who else you gonna put
in left at this? Point because two out there and
you're gonna have you Run.
Speaker 2: Dr dhiner behind the. Dish, okay create a third. Pina it's,
short H this is where it gets fun. Al TWO
a at second and at first. Base Christian.
Speaker 1: Walker Christian walker just like you AND i talked about
An astro fan. Fest, YES i think he's Like pretis
is one of their top three. HITTERS i think It's,
Alvarez pena And. Pretis that's Why ross AND i feel
Like i'm not beating the drum by myself in, here
but it's it's gonna be. Weird it's you've got a
really good. Hitter. Again we're going off of what he
did last. Year BUT i, mean he's had a really
JUST i, mean not an exemporary major league, career but
a solid major league, career whether he's been A, marlin
a cub or an. Astro he hits the. Ball he
hits it and has power and works for, you and
he works pitches and gets on. Base how is there
no spot for? Him and if there isn't a, spot
then my, gosh get an improve your round. Field go
make it a legitimate argument for a fourth outfielder or
some of our left handed bat and go get. That
would you like the projected? Rotation this is a one.
Point oh of Course chandler reserves the right to change
this as in, reason other things, Happen all, right CAN i?
CAN i guess?
Speaker 8: It?
Speaker 1: SURE i will start With hunter? One, yes Em my, two,
Uh javier, three flip two and? Three oh really you
might not have to start it will be the third, starter,
uh who's the new Kid mike what's his? Name? Burrows
Mike burrows number, four AND i will Go Spencer arraghatty.
Five Spencer arragheddy has listed sixth here who's number? FIVE
i guess this makes sense because of how much money he's.
Making Lancemll Colors, Junior no way. WHAT i could see
him getting a shot for a month and then just
getting getting rid of. Him he's making eighteen million. DOLLARS i,
MEAN i got one for you. Already always like do
funny bets on the? Show Is lance mccollor is on
this team at the end of the. Season at the
end of the, SEASON i mean and AND i thought
you're gonna Say june. First well, okay, YEAH i want him, here.
MAN i Love mence Mcclor. Jr bury me in The
what what do you Love lance Mccullor.
Speaker 2: Jr for twenty four straight curveballs and nine years?
Speaker 1: Ago you know what you. Are you're a guy And
i'm not saying you by. Yourself you're the guy who
loves that, band who has one hit and everything. Sucked
you know that's not. True he's just been. Hurt i'm
trying to use a cross for, uh parallel to, yeah
he's probably. Done it's like a high school friend who
just got out of. Rehab i'm giving him a second. Chance.
Girl he stole three hundred bucks from me in high.
School but you know it's water under the, bridge you, know.
Reaving he's in a good spot, now you. Know you
know what you also said to that the guy that's
sold three hundred bucks for me just pay me back
fifty bucks a. Week, yeah he's making seventeen to seven this.
Year it makes sense for them to give him a
shot for ten starts because that would be uber painful
for because don't think of all the money that's already
been lost in him to begin. With, yeah much less
if you're telling him goodbye our old friends sunk costs. Fallacy,
Okay so So arraghetty is Six and who is the
guy we had on a fan fest last? Week Ryan?
Weiss Does Brian Does Ryan weiss know? THIS i don't.
Know then There's Nate, Pearson Colton, gordon Aj Blue, Ball
jason Ajaf front of The, Show Jason, ALEXANDER J P
frantz dfaid yesterday we didn't mention, THAT i don't think
right by the way that if you want to go
see some Decent TRIPLE a. Play is that that's That Space?
Cowboy they crushed? It Sick they're like in the. Championship
almost every year this pharm system is stuck With QUADRUPLE
a players pedro Leone Space cowboy. Legend mm mm. Hmmm all,
right so there you. Go we just give a nice
plug for The Space. Cowboys so go. See maybe you
know they're they're gonna be sick fifteen game winners in their.
Rotations what other man league program you can say, That,
yeah they're gonna be the seventy Two orioles of The TRIPLE.
A and by the, way to choose on the minor
leag before get the Down florida. Stort did you see
that the the what minor league rankings are out BY?
Espn The astros are twenty.
Speaker 2: Ninth oh is that?
Speaker 1: Good how many teams? Are, no it's, not it's it's
a horrific it's there's thirty of. Them, OH i HAD
i was. Wrong by the, way it's the seventy One.
Orioles my. Bad. Yeah pat mcinnaughy's really upset that you
got that year At dave, McNally dobson, somebody how do
you have five fifteen game winners At TRIPLE a and
you can't you only give the twenty ninth best prospects
Because matt they're all twenty. Eight, okay that just spring.
Chickens they all have mortgages In sugarland right. Now Carson
beck's in the championship. Game how's he not a first round? Pick,
well you're twenty. Six, yeah, alright that's, fair all. RIGHT
