Speaker 1: Is The Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten.
Speaker 2: Oh three at h Town.
Speaker 3: Good morning, and welcome to a Friday edition to The
Matt Thomas Show at Ross. This is Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 5: I did a lot of the.
Speaker 3: Scott Morris puns at the house last night. Yeah, it
didn't go well. They were mixing up between bad attempts
and humor and my kids telling me I was a
horrific dad joke teller. That's what happens when you don't
have nothing to do. Rockets are off, Texans don't play
until Sunday. They play a crappy opponent that nobody cares about.
Can I peel the curtain back for a minute? Please
go ahead, but way, good morning everybody. It is a
ten oh six on Sports Talk Centerty. This is a
Friday edition of The Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Ross's
back on Monday. Jonathan, you've done a great job hanging
out with me the last handful of days.
Speaker 5: Said that you're welcome.
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny because you never hear Ross say
thank you Jonathan for all your hard work. And I
mean he may be a hamburger once in a while
at an overpriced restaurant and they serve you less than
regular order a size of fries.
Speaker 5: I won't mention who it is. Berger Ran.
Speaker 3: Okay, So my wife and I have been married for
it's going to be twenty eight years in November. And
when I was young in the business, I felt like
trying to learn the business and learn sports and do
both at the same time. You had to watch everything
because you wanted to be ready the next day when
you came on to do a show that if somebody
was going to get into a deep dive of the
Jets Patriots game last night, that you need to be
prepared for that. And maybe there was a huge college
basketball game on maybe if Duke and Kentucky were playing.
You're like, well, maybe somebody may call about that, or
somebody maybe want to get into a deep dive of
the awesome NBA game last night between I'm just gonna
throw two Raindow teams the thunder against the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 5: Okay. So I wanted to.
Speaker 3: Make sure I was all up to speed with those
things in case even if a local Houston team wasn't playing,
that I would be ready to go to have a
deep or a meaningful conversation about those things. Well, as
you get older and you've been in this business a
long time, you work wiser, you work smarter, You don't
waste a lot of extra time.
Speaker 5: So my wife knows this.
Speaker 3: As I've gotten deeper into the business and longer in
the business, she knows when there's something I need to
absolutely watch, I commandeer either the television in our bedroom
or I go into my.
Speaker 5: Office and watch it.
Speaker 3: Last night, the Jets game was on with the Patriots,
and it was good for me because I have Drake
Man as my fantasy quarterback. By way doctor Rohto joins
is at one o'clock today, The NBA slate last night
had three games on. I don't have the league pass,
so I didn't get to see any of that, and
not that I necessarily would have needed that, because the
Rockets are playing the Blazers tonight and the Blazer didn'tlay
last night. Certainly the Rockets didn't play last night. So
what do you do, Jonathan? You sometimes do something that
you don't want to.
Speaker 5: Do, but you have to do.
Speaker 3: You have to give your wife the remote control. Oh
not only do you have to give her the remote control,
but you have to tell her that yes, you're staying
in the bedroom with her tonight because you're not watching
something you have to watch. There isn't a single college
basketball game that was not last night that made any
importance to this show. There wasn't a single college football
game that meant anything. There was no NBA to speak of.
We don't talk hockey. There's no baseball going on except
the MVP votes, where we'll discuss that. But even the
NFL game doesn't resonate because again, the Patriots are far
and away the better team. It wasn't on paper supposed
to be very competitive, and it really wasn't. And on
top of it, it's two AFC eight teams with don't
have a huge fan base here in Houston. So I'm
not gonna be inundated with Jets and Patriots fans calling
me saying you see what Drake May did last night,
or how bad the quarterback for the New York Jets
of politans was, or Breist Hall only had fifty something
yards on the ground last night, which he did.
Speaker 6: By the way, it's looking real hard for the Chiefs
when the AFC. I'm just saying, you shut up. You
wantn't you wait until they beat Denver this weekend. You
know right, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 5: So let me get let me give you the point
to be to this story. You ready for this?
Speaker 3: So we have spent the last two days that I
have not worked games. You know, there's one channel on
my television in my bedroom that has never left in
the last probably forty eight to seventy two hours.
Speaker 5: This damn Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 6: Ooh ah, that Hallmark Channel is boring.
Speaker 5: Can I'm gonna tell you this.
Speaker 3: Look the Hallmark Channel for ten months of the year,
you can kind of live with because there's some old
Golden Girls repeats that show up occasionally. There's a couple
of shows off the beaten path. But do you know,
ladies and gentlemen and you guys know this and hand
the remotes to your women.
Speaker 5: Just like we I did.
Speaker 3: Everything on the Hallmark Channel is campy, awful, boring, same
storyline Christmas Movies.
Speaker 6: Young girl comes back to her hometown, meets the love
of her life that she left the way the vorce is.
Speaker 5: Her husband starts a little farm or something.
Speaker 3: Young girl is a buyer at a local department store
who's gonna go out of business if they don't sell
enough ornaments. Meanwhile, ornaments dude, who's this six foot hulk?
Six foot three hulk comes to town. He met her
while he was designing ornaments, and now they're together. Oh no,
the bed and breakfast may not survive if the porridge
isn't served well.
Speaker 5: And I hate the Hallmark Channel. I'm over it.
Speaker 3: A lot of you could be saying, Matt, get up,
leave the room, go put on e or a movie
or a documentary, which we're gonna be talking about one
today as a matter of fact. But those of you
that are married, or have significant girlfriends or live with people,
sometimes the women in your life like to have the
television on and their husband next to them. Sometimes they don't.
That should be an indication maybe your relationships are very strong.
But I am done with the Hallmark Channel. Thirty year
old comes back to Wee Valley, Pennsylvania. It's a made
up town where she works at a library and they're
running out of books.
Speaker 5: Local author comes in awkwardness.
Speaker 3: Grandma can't pay her bills at the local coffee shop.
There's you know, something called last night. It was something
so stupid. It was mistletoe manor they were talking about
and reinvigorating mistletoe manner. I don't want to go to
mistletoe manor. I don't want to live in a city
with mistletoe manor. I'm losing my damn mind. I need
relevant sports. I need for you, the great audience that
listens to Sports Talk seven hoety to care about things
outside of Houston sports.
Speaker 5: But you don't. You don't care that.
Speaker 3: I watched any of the Jets New England on my
phone last night. It's hiding it from my wife.
Speaker 5: You do not care. There was an awesome NBA game
on last night. You do not care. And I want
you to care, but I can't force you to care.
Speaker 3: Because the more you care about things outside, the more
I can go to my wife and I can tell her, Honey,
I'd love to watch with you Coming Back Home Part seven,
but I have to watch this Jets Patriots game. This
is very important for the audience that listens to the
Matt Thomash Old Ross to know these things.
Speaker 5: I'm losing it.
Speaker 3: And if I let her see that I'm losing it,
guess what she's not going to do. She's not gonna
let me watch the Texans or any or Astro games
in my bedroom when I want to lay down and
chill out. Now, my office is very comfortable, I get that,
but nothing beat your bed right nine thirty at night,
you don' want to be in your office.
Speaker 5: You want to be in your bed. Yeah, you've been
sitting down all day and you're sitting all day.
Speaker 3: So anybody else with me on this, are any of
you just losing your mind? I'm I'm cracking. I'm breaking
like an egg. Jonathan. I can't have the Hallmark channel
on much longer waiting over that.
Speaker 5: I see it.
Speaker 3: And the worst part is, Jonathan, it's November the damn fourteenth.
I got a month and a half of this left.
I gotta get on the road with the rockets. I
gotta start, you know what I gotta do. I gotta
maybe have to lie to her and tell her there's rockets.
They've added extra games as the schedule. Yeah, until she
started looking at skills her herself, and she's like, she'll
trust me, She'll trust me, Ladies and gentlemen, this is
anything goes Friday.
Speaker 5: I'm just explaining what I have to go through.
Speaker 3: I would love for our Houston sports community to care
about things, not nam HU sitting in front of the jersey,
but I don't believe it's ever gonna happen, And thus,
me trying to be a good husband, I say, yes,
here's a remote, put on what you want, because if
I say to hery, if I say to her anything
but the Mystery the Hallmark Channel, She's like, well, I
don't make you do that. I don't make you say
anything but Space City Home Network. And my wife's a
sports fan too, she gets it. But I'm done with
the Hallmark. I'm gonna go give you and during the
come back with the break, I'm gonna give you what's
on Hallmark today. Every single movie involves eight to ten
actors you've never seen your entire life, who will never
be on a show on Netflix, who will never be
major stars.
Speaker 5: You know who's on there all the time is.
Speaker 3: A lazy Showbeer from the Party of Five and Candice Beret,
who used to be on Full House. She was the
oldest one. If you love those two ladies, you're gonna
be just full of excitement.
Speaker 5: The rest of you. I've gone mad.
Speaker 3: That's why I came to the studio today to see you, Jonathan,
and to get away from the damn Hallmark Channel. Seven
one three, two one two five, seven innings and anything
goes Friday. We have an interesting documentary coming up very soon.
The executive producer is going to join us in about
thirty five minutes to team. More about that next here
on seven ninety. All right, I promise we're gonna get
to the sports. It's first of allus. Anything goes Friday, Okay,
seven one three two one two five seven hunting. Look,
if you're going curse and discuss the Texans and Titans, no,
that's nobody cares. Texts are gonna kick their ass. We
gotta worry about c J s dropt for Buffalo Franklin.
And there's your conversation today. We can get into too
deep and what of the offensive line and the Satans
is gonna do their thing? No, Davis Mills, hand the
ball off to Nick Chubb and and Woody Marx and go.
Speaker 5: Kick the crap out of them.
Speaker 3: The Texan defense will Anderson to Neil Hunter and Derek
Stingley and not Jalen Peter because he's got the concussion.
Speaker 5: But you get my drift. This is a layup drill.
Speaker 3: We will get into a much more appropriate conversation about
the next game coming up. This is an ass kicking
that should be happening Sunday between noon and three. Anything
less than a ten point game is a loss.
Speaker 6: Oh and then next week is Buffalo's Yes, so we
will get into a much more responsible conversation about that.
Speaker 3: But right now, honestly, I'm pissed off about the damn
Hallmark Channel being out of my house all the time.
So you're saying to yourself, Hey, Matt, what's on the
Hallmark Channel right now?
Speaker 5: Right now?

Speaker 3: Today, I mean Drake May eatin Gray May's gonna drive

Speaker 5: And I not taught you anything. Yes, it's a rough day, guys.
I don't know say anything goes Friday.
Speaker 3: That's all we do it seven one three, two, one
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two
five seventy. Can I tell you something and I just
started watching the other day, and we're going to have
the executive producer on it. For those of you that
are old school Houston Order fans, the executive producer of
a brand new documentary called Love You Bum is out.
We'll talk to Vance Howard coming up in about twenty
minutes about this brand new digital Apple, Amazon, iTunes, Google
documentary that's going to be coming out on November the
twenty fifth, about the Great bum Phillips. We'll talk about
that next in about twenty minutes here on SEVENINTI.
Speaker 5: Yeah, looking forward to uh speaking to the executive.
Speaker 3: Producer of this Love You Bum thing. And you're craving
for some old school orders, I got it for you,
coming about about fifteen minutes from now seven to one
three two one two five seven ninety seven to one
three two one two five seven ninety it is and
anything goes Friday. Rockets Tonight are home for the Portland Trailblazers.
It's an in season group play game, which means the
need to win, win it for sure, and then beat
the Blazers by as much as they can because a
point differential is a tiebreaker when it comes to who
wins out of each group. Every group has a winner,
and then the next best record with the point differential
goes in. Those four teams will play a knockout round.
The winner of those two knockout games go to play
the semifinals in Las Vegas. And when you said Las
Vegas and you said in NBA basketball, you said me, uh,
Texans getting on the Titans on Sunday, going to Nashville tomorrow.
Will give an update on the injury situation from them
in just about a half an hour.
Speaker 5: Today is the last day, but CJ. Stroud already been
ruled out for Sunday's game against Tennessee.
Speaker 3: And my guess is it would be not a foregone
conclusion that he does not play Thursday against Buffalo. If
Davis Mills is playing against the Bills on Thursday, don't.
Speaker 5: Want to put my name on that. Don't want to
guarantee something, Yancy, What though? What do you talk nanty
What do you what would what would.
Speaker 3: You think if I was trying to dart if I
was gonna guarantee something, if Davis Mills is going against Buffalo,
that that.
Speaker 6: Would be this huge upset and playoff picture would be
in Texans hands.
Speaker 5: Okay, maybe we gonna do that on Monday. You never know.
Speaker 3: Seven three two two five seven ninety Rogers with you.
So the Matt Thomas should ross and anything goes Friday, Roger,
good morning to you.
Speaker 10: Good morning Jarry all so desert. I had to call
in because you know how the fastest way, the most
the most efficient way to destroy everything he's built Hallmark movie,
Holiday movie talk, that's how you do that.
Speaker 4: So I have to call in for your show for
my life. Yeah, if anything goes, if anything goes Friday, yes,
and everything stucks Friday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay about you know, Roger, Roger, you know what,
since you are coming in with this fire and brimstone.
Speaker 5: And then goes Friday, what I came up?
Speaker 3: I'm asking this because you're just typically one of our
great lessens, but you're all surprised for Roger, what is
what would you like to discuss today?
Speaker 4: I would like to discuss I don't know, how about
anything else? How about how about paradis the first base?
And since the Walker's not getting traded due to the
parades get traded, and who the hell is getting traded.
Speaker 3: Did you hear what? Did you hear what Channel Room
said yesterday? And thank you Roger for the phone call.
He said that maybe we read too much into the
Christian Walker is not being traded conversation that maybe Christian
Walker might eventually be traded, he just won't be traded.
On November the fourteenth, I still think there's too many
bodies in the infield.
Speaker 5: You've got.
Speaker 3: If East sac Parretes, who sounds like he will be
close to being ready for the start of the season,
you have to play him. It sounds too simplistic that
you play him at first on Monday, you play him
at third on Tuesday, you play him at DH on Wednesday,
he takes Thursday and Friday off. It never fits that way.
It just doesn't. And I know that you don't want
Josel TV playing a lot of second base. You frankly
don't want him to play a lot of outfield because
I mean, he was okay, but by far by no
means will be a plus defender. So you'd say, okay, well,
then let's stick to jose Al TV DH. Well, if
you got East sak Parrettes playing DH, EASTCAC parties probably
isn't going to be mobile enough to move around and
play second base. My guess is Essac Parrettes, when he
plays in the as a defensive player in the twenty
twenty six season, will be playing either first or third.
Speaker 5: We'ready got guys at first and third.
Speaker 3: So when Chandler was on with us yesterday, he said,
don't read too much into that. So guess what I
will lean into tailor and say, I don't read too
much into that.
Speaker 6: Can I ask a question about what he was saying yesterday? Sure,
I'm very confused on why Cam Smith is getting the
kind of harsh criticism he got from just saying like
we do. I'm not sure if he's going to stay
there outfield there you know, it's a product thing like
he needs to bring in the product. I mean, the
guy had such a long year coming off of into
Double A, right into the major leagues and then saved
your teams but all of summer so and he was
the one that was there when everybody was hurt injured.
I just feel like that's kind of if I'm Cam
I'm I'm feeling kind of down on that, you know,
like hearing those things, I will.
Speaker 3: Say this, you know, this is a great example of
I just don't get it. I don't get it either. Now, look,
if the Astros weren't saddle with so many injuries Jonathan,
they would have sent him to the minor leagues.
Speaker 5: He slumped.
Speaker 3: He had a long enough slump that he could have
gone to Triple A and gotten his mow Joe back,
or at least thought about getting it back. But they
couldn't because they were so decimated by injuries.
Speaker 5: So what did he do? He played, and he went
through a lot of growing pains.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and he didn't have time to I just see
him in time to recover. Ever, he didn't have time
to just get his things, especially when he was in
that slump.
Speaker 3: He played a lot of professional He played a lot
of baseball between his college and his and his major
league in one calendar year. I'm right about that. And
and but you know what, that's he he would He
would not have it any other way, right, he would.
He would never have gone on the team and said,
you know, I needed some time off, I need some
time away. I mean, the guy wants to play, but
I will agree with you. I was very surprised that
Dana would say that Cam Smith spot on the roster
next year and next year is not guaranteed.
Speaker 5: And after he was Now you may think that, but Smith,
you know, I just I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you may think that, But what you ever want
to say that? I you know what you're learning about
this business a little bit, my friend. That I mean,
you're slowly learning, but you're at least learning. It was
a little startling. I mean, unless you're gonna tell me that, hey,
sus Sanchez is going to be the guy, if you're
gonna tell me that Zach Cole is gonna be the guy,
and you're gonna tell me that Cam Smith isn't the guy,
I mean there's some there are some logjams with on
the outfield guys that aren't supposed to be guaranteed position holders.
I'd put Cam in the mix. But yeah, you're right,
Cam kind of not low key being hung out the
dry a little bit. It did surprise me. You're right
about that for sure. Get us two point in your part.
Let's talk to Tom in Monroe, Louisiana. Calling us on
the Louisiana line, Tom, good morning, Good morning man.
Speaker 5: How are you doing?
Speaker 11: Your solution to the Hallmark Channel is to get you
a pair of smart glasses.
Speaker 12: You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can watch things on your inside your glasses,
right basically.
Speaker 12: Well, you can listen to things on the glasses.
Speaker 13: I'm using them right now.
Speaker 11: To talk to you with. And you you sync it
up to your phone. You pull up your ball game
one of your glasses, you sit and watch the Hallmark
channel and everybody's happy. It's a win win situation. How
much those glasses cost, though, it depends on who you know.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, now you're trying to you know what
you're trying to me? Go down illegal avenue and got
these glasses.
Speaker 9: No, no, I know.
Speaker 11: Actually one of my daughters works for an eye doctor.
Speaker 3: Oh, I see you have a little side busy. You
got a little side wrecking going. I appreciate that time. Thanks,
thank you very much for the phone call. Problem is
if you put the glasses on on something else, and
she asks, he says, well, now, A cute little scene
there when they're inside the gingerbread house and the guy
finally says, hey, maybe.
Speaker 6: We should have get together after all, or like, if
you ever did that to me, I can't I don't
know what I would do, and you'd be like.
Speaker 3: What, Yeah, like pretending to have a conversation with you,
I'd I and I'm watching something else. I think I
gotta just again. I need more games. I'm gonnay you.
I'm gona do. I'm gonna do, Johnan. I'm gonna tell
my wife. There's like the NBA expanded their schedule one
hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 5: Games eighty two.
Speaker 3: You gotta and they play and they play every single
night in November and December.
Speaker 5: So I won't be home for two months.
Speaker 3: If she, if she knew I was talking about the
Hallmark channel, like I am now Fort Knox, Oh god,
close for repair, close full repair.
Speaker 5: What's the appeal to Hotmark? I just don't you know.
Speaker 3: I don't go ask your girl, because we as grown
ass men, don't think it's a feeling at all, at least,
as I said, with at least with Lifetime channel, they.
Speaker 5: Kill each other.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm always there's crimes of passion on there.
There's oh my god, I slept with the wrong woman
and now she's pregnant. I mean that that's the kind
of stuff I can I can I can get into,
like wrong woman in my bed coming up tonight, eight
and seventh Central. I don't need Oh my god, this
hot chocolate is so good. That's the next Hallmark movie.
You heard me run through the list of them.
Speaker 5: We don't have to do the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not doing any more because I don't. I
want to keep it once I got left.
Speaker 14: Always love your blue yet you know that, dude, whiskey
true cloes.
Speaker 3: Me love my only football team that I ever loved. Yes,
now they're gutter trash in Tennessee. That's a different issue
at different time.
Speaker 5: When your past.
Speaker 3: Let's say hello to a first time guest on the
radio program. He is executive producer of a brand new
documentary that's going to be coming out in November, late November.
The name of the documentary is Love You Bum and
the executive producer of that is Vance Howard Here or
the Matt Thomas Show.
Speaker 5: Vance, thank you for joining us. Good morning to you.
Speaker 15: How are things that things are going and wonderful? Thank
you for having me on the show. What an exciting day.
Speaker 5: It is November twenty fifth.
Speaker 3: It'll be available on digital and on demand platforms Apple, Amazon, iTunes,
and Google. I have started to watch it and today,
matter of fact, I woke up starting to watch it,
and I wanted to finish it today. Unfortunately I had
to make an hour drive into this to the offices here.
First and foremost, tell me your background, Advance, what made
you think about O. A. Bum Phillips.
Speaker 15: Well, you know, my background's pretty buried on a large
money management firm. But we got into production of making
films that inspired, educated enough lift people. And that's what
Love You Bomb did for us. And that's what the
Love You Blue did. When you look at bum Phillips
and all the things that he that he did as
a coach and as a human being, it's just a
wonderful story, and I think it's going to make people
really feel something about, you know, the seventies Houston Owlers
and that great team that they had and a great coach.
Speaker 5: Where'd you grow up?
Speaker 15: I grew up in Huspital, Texas, about seventy miles north
of Houston.
Speaker 3: All Right, would a young Vance Howard go to a
lot of games with O. A. Bum Phillips running the things?
Speaker 16: I was a great fan back then, and I still
am a great fan.
Speaker 15: But I mean, the Houston Oilers used to come up
and actually practice their practice season before they started the
season was here in Hospital, Texas at sam Beaston State University.
So we got to see the Oilers team when I
was thirteen or fourteen, all walking around Huspital and they
were practicing at Dan Pastorini, Billy wat Shoes, Johnson, you know,
Robert Brazil. He had all these wonderful players and wonderful
hum of beings and it was really very I just
loved it.
Speaker 8: It was just great fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got you're opening.
Speaker 3: A couple of minutes of the show went back to
nineteen seventy five when the Olders had all of their
coaching changes and they got bum who was the defensive
coordator at the time, to replace Bill Peterson. So you
have a lot of stock video, a lot of interviews
current guys that were covering the team or ex players
of his.
Speaker 5: But you had a lot of old stuff too. Where
did you were able to acquire that from?
Speaker 15: Well, we did a lot of historical research. We had
lot from Houston Chronicle. There was a lot of foot
film footage that were available. NFL Films clearly had a lot.
Ammy Adams and the Houston Owlers were very helpful.
Speaker 16: They loved them.
Speaker 15: So we were able to acquire a number of these
different film footages and stills that are in there. And
if you watch, if you finished watching the film today,
you're going to see Amy Adams in there. She was
very supportive of the film. But how can you not
how can you not support Bum Phillips. I mean, the
guy was just a Texas character. He was just an interesting,
interesting human being in his football team. His players loved.
Speaker 5: Him, loved it is an understatement Advance.
Speaker 3: There were some early stuff and I knew this even
as a young man, as a family orders back when
I was nine, ten, eleven years old. He had such
a family camaraderie with his guys that it almost makes
me feel like Vance if we could show today's NFL
players that I know. It's big business and the dollars
are two millionfold than they were back when Earl and
Dan were running things in Robert Brazil and the company.
But they were still adults, they were still fathers, they
were still young men. They needed fatherly influence. And it
was a real sense of family that Bum had, especially
early as he was building the Love You Blue teams.
Speaker 15: It was And when you listen to the interview with
Robert Brazil, who's a Hall of Famer and he's just
such a wonderful individual. He talks about how I had
Bum brought him in under his wing and took care
of him as a young man who had come out
of college. He was in his early twenties and he
was with a pro football team in a big city,
and he made sure that some of these guys stayed
in line. But he did in the fatherly, in the
world loving way where it was more done on watching
how he lived his life. And they would emulate Bum
because Bum lived his life and with such a strong character,
in such a strong moral fiber. But he also made
it fun. Football should be fun. Sports should be fun,
and if you're playing the game should be fun. And
I think he brought that out with that Houston team
back in the seventies and early eighties.
Speaker 5: The name of the documentary is Love You Bum.
Speaker 3: It'll be available on Remember the twenty fifth, Apple, Amazon, iTunes,
and Google be among the variety of places you can
check it out. We're visiting with executive producer Vance Howard.
So you mentioned Amy Adams, and I did see her
in a couple of early clips. Obviously the most controversial
thing her father ever did besides moving the team to
Nashville was firing Bum. And again, maybe I don't want
to give away too much towards the end, but how
forthcoming was she about the last days of Bum running
the owners?
Speaker 15: You know, I don't know if she was really in
the mix with that. I mean, it might have been
before her time, because Bud Adams, clearly on the team,
clearly made a decision that he was going to let
Bum go. And I'll be honest with you, I don't
think anybody but Bum and Bud Adams know the reason why.
I just don't know, but they did. And that's the
way it ended up. And as sad as it is,
but I wish it hadn't to happen. I wish the
Oilers were still in Houston, and I wish Bum was
still alive.
Speaker 3: Well, for sure, Mike renfro is in there, one of
my favorite players, obviously Dan Pastor, and he's still a
part of the Houston comunity. Was there somebody you were
able to chase down that you had not heard or
seen from in a long period of time.
Speaker 15: Well, you know the good part about when you look
at renfro Win there and you look at that fantastic
catch that he had against the Pittsburgh Steelers. What a
lot of people don't realize. You learned this in the
documentary that was setting up for instant replay as we
see today, because he was clearly in when they had
the replay in the booth up top, and then you know,
after a commercial at that game, you could tell that
that repro made that catch. So I think it's interesting
that historically speaking, that was the start of instant replay.
Speaker 3: Oh for sure, that goes really without saying because anytime
anybody brings up instant replay in the early eighties when
it first got going, they bring up the renfro what
was deemed a non catch, I thought through portrayal of Houston,
so with how these sports teams were growing as the
city of Houston grown was very interesting because back in
nineteen eighty and again eighty one, I'm nine and ten
years old at the time, so I'm not really reflecting
on the city. But you know, the old business was great,
the downtown metropolis was building, the city was becoming one
of the biggest in the country, and all by the way,
you had this dome stadium that it was relatively new.
It was in nineteen sixties, but it was an area
that national attention finally came on the Houston sports scene.
A lot of it is because of what you know,
Love You Blue did, especially when Earl was doing his
things on Monday night football.
Speaker 9: It was great.
Speaker 15: You know, the astrodom was what the seventh Wonder of
the world back in the seventies. But when you look
at what you look at the talent that he had
on that team. He didn't have a lot of A players,
He had a lot of B players, but he took
those B players, he made them into a's and he
almost took them to the super Bowl. And I think
there's some of the games and some of the spirit
and some of the heart that the Houston Oilers had
at that time. It's it's just unimaginable. I mean, they
lost a game and they filled up the Astrodome, and
they filled up Houston, Texas to come out and support
bum Phillips and come out port Dan Pastoradi and Billy
watch Shoes and all their efforts and their courageous heroics
on the field. They were just wonderful men and they
just fought so hard to win. And I think that
was the spirit of Houston at the.
Speaker 5: Time, Vance, do you like the documentary business? And if
you do, what's next?
Speaker 15: I love the documentary business. We just finished one on
a gentleman with stage four cancer and he cured it holistically.
But the one you're going to like the most is
we're starting a documentary We started about a month ago
on the great cattle drives with a good knight and
loving and all the different cattle drovers that work back
in the eighteen hundreds and how that affected the entrepreneurial
ship in the development of this great country.
Speaker 9: That we have.
Speaker 5: I can't wait for you to find the video footage
of that. That's gonna be something to find.
Speaker 15: We'll have a lot of steel photos put out there.
But we're going to make it into a wonderful, educational,
inspiring documentary.
Speaker 5: All right, Vance? Again, am I missing anywhere? Apple?
Speaker 3: Amazon, iTunes, Google, anywhere else? I would find this documentary?
Love You Bum coming up on November the twenty fifth.
Speaker 15: Those are the main places find it. But I think
that the individuals that want to watch this film, I
think it's gonna uplift and inspire, but at the end,
I think it's gonna bring you to tears.
Speaker 3: Well, it brought back amazing memories, a little bit of
what it could have should have a little bit of
how things used to be. And I know that money
and power and technology has changed the world, but to
see bum Phillips coaching a game without a headset on
was probably most interesting things to me because he didn't
there were headsets back then, but he had no interest
in working him. He wanted to wear his cowboy hat
and he did too.
Speaker 5: Thank you Vance for the time. We appreciate it.
Speaker 15: Hey, thank you, and have a good week nd.
Speaker 5: Thank you Vance Howard.
Speaker 3: Executive producer of the Love Ye Bum documentary with us
here and it's coming up on November the twenty fifth.
For any of you that are old school order fans
like me, I'm sure you will want to watch it again.
I got caught up this morning for about twenty minutes
and I'm like, I can't I got to continue to
watch this and I'm like, oh crap, I gotta drive.
Speaker 5: It is what it is.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it this weekend,
and you should to Love You Bum. November the twenty fifth,
eleven o'clock Matt Thomas Show begins with Ross in just
a couple of minutes in one half hour. We gotta
say I'm sorry, Jonathan. I'm going to announce another I'm
sorry for the kind of person I am when it
comes to my vehicle. You need to You don't even
know what I'm talking about. No, I can tell by
your face right now. Okay, you can see me today.
Speaker 5: That's nice. Eleven o'clock on Sports Talk seven ninety is
the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.
Speaker 3: Eleven o three Sports Talk seven ninety. It is the
Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Ross's back with us on Monday.
We look forward to hanging out with you. We got
I'm sorry. It's coming up at the bottom of the hour,
and I gotta apologize because I'm going to declare myself
something when it comes to the way I drive. I
can do it because sometimes I think the best thing
I can do for you is to be cathartic and
tell you exactly what I live through my life. And
so as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to out
myself and apologie to certain people in the Houston area.
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety Texans on
the practice field for the final time today before they
head up to Nashville to take on the hated uh
Tennessee Titans. Now, I did see Amy Krunk drunk in
there a couple of times in this Love You Bomb documentary.
She makes my skin crawl. Sorry, this is what it is.
By the way, Dalton Schultz today practicing, did not practice
Wednesday or Thursday.
Speaker 5: He is out there. That's good. So if I feel about.
Speaker 3: That injury report from yesterday, uh and again uh Alshaier
was there in play.
Speaker 5: Jalen Petrie did not. He's out.
Speaker 3: Davis Mills did not. He's out. Kimi Fairburrying is out
thinking about people that do you actually care about? Ed
Ingram on the offensive line was there for a little
bit yesterday. Kate Stover the tight end was there. And
Dalton Schultz, Dalton Schultz will be able to go and
hopefully be able to play. It sounds like Dalton Schultz
is gonna be just taking some time off in the
middle of the week before getting ready for the game.
Speaker 5: So here's the question before go back to the phones. UH,
if CJ doesn't play this week, which is now a confirmed.
Speaker 3: The Thursday short week, you don't practice on Wednesday right,
You barely practice on Tuesday. You just run around a
little bit on Monday. How are we supposed to predict
and think that he's gonna be ready to go. We
haven't even seen him on the football field at all.
I have a sneaking suspicion he's not playing against Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 6: Maybe even longer you really think about it, Well, Buffalo
would be a third game, Yeah, like third and a half.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I mean two and a half, because he's
got out there three two and a half weeks. Yeah.
Speaker 6: But I mean if it's that's a vera concussion for
him not to come back next week, I mean, well.
Speaker 5: I guess no, No, two concussions are built the same.
We know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you were to send him out for the
Buffalo game, you would be within it a week and
a half. Additional time you have to go to the
Colts after that. I mean, tell me I'm wrong, Tell
me that. Okay, I guess the argument would be convince
me if you can the Texans with Davis Mills at
quarterback can beat the Bills on a Thursday night. Remember
when Buffalo is here on a previous short week. I
think it was on a Thursday night game. Josh Allen
had one of his worst games ever as a quarterback,
and the Bills don't play nearly as well on the
road as they do at home.
Speaker 5: We saw that when they lost to Miami last week.
They're not gonna beat him. I mean, Davis Mills look
good though. I mean yeah, but.
Speaker 6: I mean I know it's Jacksonville and Jacksonville, But I mean, okay,
if you if you want to convince me, that's what
you got until next went next Thursday to convince me.
I think he'll I think he'll be back by Monday,
at least throwing you know, pads.
Speaker 3: But well again, I think we we will have a
pretty good feel by probably Monday night because I'll have
to put an injury report out for Monday because they
have a short week with no off day. Oh okay,
that's a little bit different situation there, all right. Seven one, three, two,
five seven onions and anything goes Friday. I spent the
first half hour of the show, probably to my detriment,
talking about how much I despise the Hallmark Channel because
they've got campy ass shows what people who've never heard
of before except danaka mckeller, Big fan h Jody Sweeten,
she was on there.
Speaker 5: She's okay.
Speaker 3: So maybe some of your favorite kid stars are now adults.
You don't feel nearly as creepy as you did maybe
when you were a younger kid. Levin on Winnie from
the Wonder Years.
Speaker 5: Steve is with us at eleven oh eight on seven,
Unty Steve, Good.
Speaker 13: Morning to you, Good morning to you. Matt Thomas, thank
you for taking my call. Sure, I appreciate it. I
am calling to take up for the Hallmark Channel because
you know what somebody's gonna have. You keep going after it.
And here's the thing, all the stuff that you're saying
about why you don't like it, that's the whole draw.
It is campy. And it's like, tays should I say this?
Like our grandparents used to watch Leave It to Beaver
and Mayberry, RFD and all of that, and then our
parents used to watch The Brady Bunch and shows like
eight is enough. That's what this is. It's it doesn't
make a lot of demands on the viewer. It's easy.
It's like eating It's like eating a slice of pumpkin
pie and enjoining a really good cup of coffee.
Speaker 9: It's that. But for us.
Speaker 13: That's that's kind of the way I see it.
Speaker 3: Has your wife infiltrated your phone? Did you write this
down for you?
Speaker 5: I mean you? No, No, Steve. Let me tell you
some Steve.
Speaker 3: You sound like a really nice person and I think
we'd be great friends. But do you have any testicles
right now?
Speaker 13: Of course I do. I'm going to tell you. I
love I love sports, I love cars, I love classic rock.
And when I first you know, when when this first
started coming up and I saw it on the TV,
I'm like, you know what, I shouldn't like this. I'm
right there with you, Matt. I was like, I shouldn't
like this, And yet strangely there there there kind of
is something about it. It's knowing how, it's knowing how
it's gonna turn out in a world.
Speaker 3: Oh, I got news for you. I got news how
it's gonna turn out. The young girl at thirty years
old is gonna wind up being with the guy, and
they're gonna serve a bunch of hot Cocoda kids all
around the area.
Speaker 5: That's how it ends.
Speaker 3: Every single in the little hotel, the little bed and
breakfast days open, that's how it's gonna end.
Speaker 5: Every single time, And.
Speaker 8: Isn't that the whole point.
Speaker 5: No, it's not that movie sucks. They suck. I don't
need it. I don't need Christmas chair in mid November.
I want I want.
Speaker 3: I want gunshots, I want knives, I want blackmail, I
want seduction.
Speaker 5: I don't get any of that on the Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 13: Matt, I dare you. I dare you to tell me
this on the radio. I dare you to tell me
that you don't want your house to look like any
of the homes on the Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 3: The only thing we have in my house is we
put up our tree for a long period of time.
And that's the only thing that bothers me other than that.
I don't mind the lights. I don't mind I don't
like the music. But that's I've ever talked about that before.
I'm just not going to pretend that I live in
New Hampshire and watch the Hallmark Channel for twenty hours
a day. Steve, come on, get those testicles of yours,
get that classic rock love that you have, get that
muscle car feeling going, and regain your manhood.
Speaker 5: For the love of God, I dare.
Speaker 13: You to tell me that you don't want to eat
any of the meals that they serve on.
Speaker 3: No Jenner bread cookie suck. Christmas cookie suck. They got
no flavor to them. Thank you Steve for good sport.
Christmas cookies douce suck. You know I white cookies with
gret yuck. Give me, Give me some toll House chocolate
chip called today, Give me some peanut butter Oh Mill
raisin macaroon ch chocolate chip?
Speaker 5: What chocolate chunk of chip? Sad?
Speaker 3: Three times fast? By the way, tomorrow's movies just Jonathan.
For those of you playing at home, Round and bound,
Round and round. Sounds like this is Rachel stuck in
a time loop, reliving the night of her parents Hanuka party. Okay,
take care of the Jewish audience, scouting for Christmas Magic
and missilete the Missletoe Secret, a Maple Valley, Christmas Christmas Island,
and the all time worst. Three wise Men.
Speaker 5: And a Baby. That's not interesting? All right? That seems
like it. Give me some mess Three wise Men and
the baby. I wonder what happened? I would like to
write a Hallmark movie myself.
Speaker 9: Do it?
Speaker 6: What was the title. Let's do that first. This bitch
is crazy, Get out of my missile toe you hope.
Speaker 5: Oh, there you go.
Speaker 3: That's what I would do. I'll create the end, you
know what. I will create a channel of anti missile
Hallmark movies. You know what, You're getting nothing for Christmas
and like it. All I want for Christmas is a divorce.
Uh let's see what else could it be? You think
you've got col when you're stocking. How about this for
your stocking? Yeah, you can't get the movie away. You
gotta get it. You'll have you more vague, A very
miserable Christmas. Twelve days a hell in late December. Okay,
that was a good one. My business shut down thanks
to Chris Kringle. Yeah, you know what, I can write
the check. I can write the show eleven thirteen of
The Matt Thomas Show with Roster's and anything goes Friday.
I gotta apologize. Maybe I should be apologizing for all
the women out there that love the Hallmark Channel. But
y'all don't even like the Hallmark channel. As much as
you think you like the Hallmark Channel, you just put
it on and make you feel better about yourselves. That's
why we need more games. We should play every single
night for like two weeks. If I tell my wife
I got to do fourteen straight Rockets games. She'd be like,
all right, checks clear, let's go a lot of reaction
to Steve called again a minute ago. Dad's drunk. See
let me see where it is. Ryan says, have Steve
cough twice if he's okay? He needs a wallness check.
His wife, I guarantee was next to him. There's no way, grown,
asks man. It's light hearted, it's fun and in movies
that you would not see the Hallmark Channel. All I
want for Christmas is my balls to drop. D Trevor says,
Dad's drunk again Christmas edition the I'm getting over clemped
over here. Yeah, I gotta start write my own movies.
Dad has any Christmas gives forties and gambling dead.
Speaker 5: How about this one?
Speaker 3: A mafiosa Christmas Mafia comes to your house middle of Pennsylvania,
just shoots everybody up.
Speaker 5: What's wrong with me?
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I'm just trying to give you the anti
what you'd find in the Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two. I find my show
sometimes too funnier than I think you guys do. Seven
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one
three two one two five seven ninety Did you see.
Speaker 5: Who won the American League Most Viable Player Award yesterday?
Jonathan Yes, I did. I feel like he deserved it
all right.
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people, namely people that are
Seattle Mariner fans that the quadrant of the Pacific Northwest
that believes that cal Rawly should have won over Aaron Judge. Judge,
by the way, and now a three times a MVPs
won it for the third time in four years. He
had twenty more votes overall. Aaron had seventeen first place votes,
cal had thirteen. Judge had thirteen second place votes. Cal
had seventeen, So the thirty voters either put him one
or two. That's the right thing to do. If two
riders had switched their votes, it would have been a tie.
So it was pretty darn close fifteen to fifty. But
instead Judge gets more votes from me in the first place,
and that's the Wednesday Award.
Speaker 5: He had an OPS.
Speaker 3: This year of eleven hundred three point thirty one fifty
three home runs, one hundred and fourteen RBIs and the
ops of eleven forty five. He year in and year out,
does this. Now, granted cow Rawley one hundred and twenty five,
RBIs one hundred and ten runs, scored, sixty home runs
he had eleven, Raleigh had eleven more. RBIs had twenty
seven runs less scored his ops his excuse me, his
on base person was forty one ninety six points less.
I mean, you could go either way. But the reality
is Aaron Judge had a better season. Is what he
just did?
Speaker 5: He just did.
Speaker 3: Now you could also say, well, did Aaron Judge at
people around him? Yes, well, certainly the Mariners, especially if
the All Star break, had people around him. They traded
a whole in the Yeah, a new first baseman of Naylor.
They got Junio Suarez. I mean they had he had
Randy a Rosarrena.
Speaker 5: He's got.
Speaker 3: The second base JP Crawford. Two worthy candidates. You can
only have one winner. You could tie. I guess we've
look We've dealt with that here in Houston for many
years with uh, you know, whether James Harden should be
the MVP winner over Russell Westbrook or should James hard
To be the MVP winner over Lebron James So it
happens to other places. Seattle fan typical a holdish Mariner fan.
This is an outrage. This man was putting up amazing
numbers for a catcher. Blah blah blah. When you determine
the MVP. While defense certainly is a part of it,
it ain't a big part of it. And just because
other catchers don't hit sixty home runs doesn't make his
accomplishment any more or less special than if anybody if
Caro Raally had played first base and hit sixty home runs.
I'm not a Yankee fan. I will never be a
Yankee fan. I'm never going to be a Seattle Mariner fan.
So I'm right down the middle on this. And I
think Ross and not even had an argument, not an argument,
but a debate about this. I think we both said
the end of the day that Aaron Judge's numbers and
there's nothing skewed or nothing in bounce in one person's favor.
Aaron Judge tod the better season, and Aaron Judge does
this on the regular and Aaron Judges shouldn't be penalized
for that. Just because Carol I did something special in
his life for one season, it was very special, it
doesn't necessarily mean he was the most valuable player to
the sport that you're on the American league side. Obviously
we know who on the National League side one mister
pitcher and outfielder and dh Man.
Speaker 5: Yeah he deserved it too.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, show heyes, amazing, all respect, all respect, No
arguments there. Alison in Spring Branch at eleven twenty five
on Sports Talk seven, Alison, good morning to you.
Speaker 17: Good warning, Matt. So my husband has to spend February
basically in Florida doing business. So he says to me, So, Honey,
at the end, come out and visit me enough, take
you to fcott And I'm like, just take a gun
to my head.
Speaker 16: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 17: So then I think, oh, spring training with the Astros.
That's always been on my bucket list.
Speaker 18: So that's the good news.
Speaker 17: So the not so good news is we have to
see them play the National Like, why couldn't it be
Baltimore or Cleveland?
Speaker 5: Well, you wait a minute, how long are you gonna
be there for?
Speaker 17: How long have I been in Houston?
Speaker 12: Now?
Speaker 5: How long are you How long are you going to
Florida for?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 17: Well, it's the end of its trip and it's the
only weekend that kind of overlaps like.
Speaker 16: He wants to get home.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, let me let me just say you, as
someone that has gone to spring training for thirty years,
it shouldn't matter who the other team is because if
you play the home game, most of the stars and
the other team are not going to be there. And
if you go to play the road game, most of
your favorite players are going to be there. Now, there's
exceptions a rule on both sides of it, but these
are spring training games. You should just sit back and
enjoy the experience of being in the warmth of Florida
in late February and March and just enjoying watching America's pastime.
I wouldn't worry about who the competition is, so.
Speaker 17: Who to be the pitcher for the Astros?
Speaker 4: I mean, who should I expect a.
Speaker 17: Rookie call up?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, They go through a rotation.
Speaker 3: Now, there may be a rotation of seven or eight guys,
but I mean, you know, if Justin Verlinder has to
if it he becomes an Astro, he's got to pitch.
If Hunter Brown's gotta be on the mountain, he's got
to pitch. Christian Javier Spence aarraghety's gotta be out there

Speaker 5: Just telling you. All right, time for us to say
some I'm sorries. Jonathan, take a deep breath and get ready.
Speaker 3: I'm going to admit something to you that I think
I haven't been I did somewhat on the show before,
but I got I saw a funny video yesterday that
was sent to me that I thought, you know what,
It's time now to me to go full circle when
it comes to my driving and parking. I'm going to
tell you, folks, I'm sorry about something that I think
I may have said it once, but I'm going to
reaffirm to all of you that know that there are
people like me out there in the world. Today, eleven
twenty eight on Sports Talk seven ninety I'm sorry is
our next.
Speaker 5: It's time call in and say these magical words.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, so sorry.
Speaker 5: All right, here I go, and Johnathan, we've talked about
parking before, and oh what did you do this? I
just want to just I got.
Speaker 3: I sent this clip from curbyw Enthusiasm, which is my
all time favorite TV show.
Speaker 5: Okay, you know Larry David is no. Okay, but I'm
not gonna go to it.
Speaker 3: Larry David was one of the writers of Seinfeld, and
he did a show an HBO many called Kirby Enthusiasm,
which is the funniest show ever made.
Speaker 5: I'm looking, I'm gooing. I know his face. I okay,
so Larry.
Speaker 3: So people, I'm in a group chain text chain that
sends funny clips from Curby Enthusiasm, and one of them
I got yesterday.
Speaker 5: Uh hit close to home because the reality is I'm this.
I'm sorry, I'm a pig parker. Pig parker. Yeah.
Speaker 3: If I'm in an area in a garage, and that's
mainly in a garage or in some cases a department
store or a grocery store where the lines are super tight,
I will park over the line just to make sure
no one parks next to me. Oh, even at the
apartment store. I don't go to the department stores anymore,
but that could potentially happen. I do it here at
the office all the time. I also go to the
very top floor of our office. There should be less
traffic up there. Yeah, I mean our salespeople aren't here
on Fridays, are out hustling on these streets. But I
am tired of these office buildings giving us narrow ways
to park our car.
Speaker 5: So how do you combat that you'd be a pig parker.
Speaker 3: So, ladies and gentlemen, at eleven thirty five on a
Friday morning, I apologize for being a pig parker.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry, and I will try not to do
it anymore.
Speaker 3: But even though I got the video sent to me
yesterday in one of my text groups, I did it
this morning here at the office.
Speaker 6: So you didn't learn nothing, not really. Yeah, sorry, you
don't know that. I feel like you're the type to
leave the the grocery cart and you don't put it
up after you.
Speaker 5: That's not true. Oh you put it up one hundred percent.
Speaker 14: OK.
Speaker 5: That goes with me the start.
Speaker 10: I have.
Speaker 3: I have a few flaws in my life, Ladies and gentlemen,
that's just one of them. I'm nervous about my car
being hit mine. I don't want to be stuck, so
I'm not gonna lie. I see why you do it,
because mine's that nick. So you are listening to hopefully
respected sports voice in the City of Houston, your radio
voice of the Houston Rockets are playing Portland tonight, and
I'm a Pig Parker and for that I say, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Pig Parker. I think it's time for some
of you to admit some of your mistakes.
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety. If you
want to apologize for something you've done this week or
something that you are, I will try not to judge you,
like hopefully many of you have not judged me in
this last three minutes of the Matt Thomas Show at
Ross seven one three two one two five seven ninety.
If you want to admonish me for being a pig Parker, sorry,
I'll accept it.
Speaker 5: Jonathan, what are you apologizing for this week?
Speaker 9: All right?
Speaker 5: I gotta this is cleansing, get.
Speaker 9: It out right.
Speaker 6: Let me pick out the curtain a little bit too,
all right. You know when your significant other tells you, like, hey,
can you do this for me in the morning before
you leave? Right, whether that's like, you know, put the
dishes up or something like that, Okay, you're supposed to
do it, and you know, you know, trouble make you know,
happy wife, happy life whatever.
Speaker 5: Correct.
Speaker 6: So she had did suits the laundry last night, and
she's like, okay, all I want you to do before
you go to work.
Speaker 5: I just pulled the ones in a dryer and switched
it over. Team is very elementary.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know something, you know very simple instructions.
It's just this morning, the bed was very nice. It's
sneezed or put this news button a little couple times. Snap,
all right, let me get ready a right, all right,
brush my teeth, evorite thing, all right, let me get
ready for the show. All right, right, all right, all right,
pack my lunch. All right, I'm ready to go. And
baby for listening to class. Uh, I didn't switch them over.
Speaker 5: So does that mean the closer in the washing machine
are going to have to rewashed? Tell the truth? So, yeah,
I didn't switch it over. Baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll be mad. Hopefully that gives you some tickets. Okay,
let me ask you this. Who's getting you're getting home before?
Speaker 9: She is?
Speaker 5: Something?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Something?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, she doesn't. How long does
she worked till today? She gets for I don't make
it there in time?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Look how long?
Speaker 3: How far from the hat from her apartment to just
from this radio station forty minutes. Okay, So say you
get out of here at two fifteen, you get home
by three. You never you never should have said a word.
Now the question will be listen, I gotta gotta get
up my Here's the thing, though, if you go home,
you gotta smell those clothes first, because if you can,
if you can put them in the dryer without them
smelling like they were old, you're okay. But if not,
you're gonna have to rewash those bad boys on the slow,
on the quick cycle, no soap to get it rewrot.
Speaker 5: But then if sometimes you do that, it doesn't that
still that smells still there, you might have to do it.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no, trust me, I've been in
your spot before. A rewash will cure your pain.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: So you basically out of yourself for no reason. How
bad man. I had to rust out of here, and
I was like, oh man, I'm going okay, God, I
gotta teach you so much. You you have a chance
to get away with this now if you if it
takes it so okay, she's not listening. Nobody's listening.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: More importantly, just get home fast, re wash those clothes
really quick on the fastest cycle. Not the deep million
you know, the deep seat. You know the deep heavy dirt.
So yeah, just get one quick wins through, get him
in the dryer. She'll be home with four. You're in
good shape. I was right, all right, you know I
got this. But you can't stay here past two fifteen.
Speaker 5: I don't care.
Speaker 3: I don't care what we make you do. You gotta
leave a two fountains, no, because you got if you
got a puncher chance make this happen. You gotta get
home by three o'clock.
Speaker 12: All right.
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna I'm gonna I get to finally
meet her on Sunday. But I'm very excited about this,
all right. And you know what, I'm gonna bring up
this whole little articulous you out of yourself way too early. No,
I said, you know, I should have just talked to
you before about it. You know that's right, So you
know what, just go through me before you start talking
about what you're gonna apologize for. I mean, I'm the
reason why I announced I was a pig Parker because
other people know I'm a pig Parker. I got chastised
by the Rockets medical staff the other day at the
Rockets game when I came to the arena before the
game against who we play Washington?
Speaker 5: Really Parking Landam, I know I need a room. I
don't want you hitting me beus. I'm a pig Parker.
Speaker 3: If it's the worst thing I ever did in my life,
I don't say I apologize much more than what I
just did, Uh, Morgan with He said eleven forty on
The Matt Tommy Show with Ross Morgan, what are you
apologizing for?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 20: Man, I got the wrong section.
Speaker 16: I wanted to ask you a question.

whole box.

Speaker 20: Just say it to me, man, because.
Speaker 21: I'm I've watched a.
Speaker 7: Few episodes, man, but I'm still not quite.
Speaker 4: Getting into it.
Speaker 5: Morgan.
Speaker 3: It only gets better as the seasons go along. Uh,
there is a character. There are more characters coming to
the show that are just as funny. I'm just telling you.
It is thirty minutes of a basic storyline that just
gets funnier and funnier and funnier. And I'm gonna tell
you the cliches, the funny terms, the stuff that Larry
gets in predicaments with it.
Speaker 5: Just it won't let you down.
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, I don't know if you and
I'm more gonna have the same exact sense of humor.
But it's the funniest show I've ever watched in my
entire life. And I miss it to this day.
Speaker 20: Cool.
Speaker 5: All right, Well you saw me brother, all right?
Speaker 3: And and by the way, I don't again there is
a character on there. Have you been in the I'm
trying to think of what see?
Speaker 9: What are you in? Like?
Speaker 5: The first season?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 13: Man, I just yeah, I mean the very first, not even.
Speaker 5: Thro the Susie episode.
Speaker 3: Susie's my third favorite character. Larry's my second favorite character.
My favorite character is Leon. Have you heard from Leon yet?
Speaker 9: Not yet.
Speaker 3: Once you get to watch Leon for a few episodes,
your life will change for the better.
Speaker 5: Trust me.
Speaker 3: Leon is one of the funniest characters in the history
of television. Okay, all right, Margan, we'll see you later.
Somebody backed me up on this because Ross is so
mamby Pam, because you know, the acting isn't great. Who Candle,
the damn acting is I'm not looking for Academy Awards.
I'm looking to laugh my ass off. It's the funniest
show I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 5: It's running for twenty four years.
Speaker 3: Well, it's taken some breaks. It's not twenty four consecutive ears,
and they're done. I think they're done done. But I'm
telling you Gang Leon and Susie and all of his buddies, Funkhouser,
Richard Lewis, Oh so damn funny, eleven forty three on
The Matt Thomas Show with Ross. If you want to
apologize for something you've done or said, and if you're
a pig Parker John my club, you know we want
to do Jonathan. We ought to get some shirts. We
ought to get us some pick We ought to get
a pick picture of a car with an little pig
on it and say yeah, I'm a pig Parker. Two
little snout, little place, little snout. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
think it looked good. It would seven one three two
one two five seven out of this is the Matt
Thomas Show with Ross. We got to wake the strippers
up coming up in fifteen minutes from now. So, Jonathan,
I've decided that today's edition of Helly Air Not is
is this a Hallmark.
Speaker 5: Christmas movie or not?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So I'm having actually having some fun making the ones up.
So we'll see how I can feel with people call them.
Who's that people's wives are going to call in with them? Yeah,
they're like, you know, we should we should only should
have women play the game. We think we got enough
women listening to show that could play in all women's
but Helly Air Not we.
Speaker 5: Have a good amount. I'm playing for Jack Johnson tickets
right yeah, crooner as it is. But it's the things
that there are. They gonna be on at one fifty though,
you know. All right, So here's what we do.
Speaker 3: We can't guarantee women to call the show, but we
will we will allow women to get on the show
before the men.
Speaker 5: That's a good idea.
Speaker 3: So any woman that calls during hell and Aaron Out
today at one fifty gets to the top of the list.
So all of you that are dudes, you're like Brad
for this one particular segment, will take any woman over you,
the male caller. So it's is this a Christmas Hallmark
Channel movie or not. We'll do that today at one
fifty here on Sports Talk seven ninety seven one three,
two five seven ninety we got another segment here for
you to apologize for the terrible things you've done this week.
I acknowledge to you, ladies and gentlemen, the great people
in Houston, Texas, that I'm a big parker. I take
out more than one lane. I don't do it to
not allow you to get to a spot. I just
do it because I don't want to be hit. And
I think that today's grocery stores, in today's office buildings
are not giving us enough wiggle room. And by the way,
I also do it on a floor where there's like
forty open spaces. I'm not that much of an a hole.
Mmmm stop, now wait a minute, you don't know you
just now put that clafortation.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: All right, we leave today at two o'clock because you
got to race home to get those dishes, those those clothes, yas. Yeah,
I want you to come look at my spot and
give me a ruling whether or not I was a picture.
Speaker 20: Do you like?
Speaker 6: Because this, guys, just two yellow lines in between each spot?
Are you like all the way over both lines? You'll
find out today at the end of the show. Okay,
So on seven ninety, what are your chilli caning calling?
Let me say this again, what are you chilli kind
of apologizing for?
Speaker 19: Uh? Quickly curb your enthusiasm. Is one of the best
shows of all time. Leon Black, Ted Danson and Little
Orphan funkhouser Is and Richard Lewis are some of the
best supporting characters on a show ever. Just wanted to
throw that in there. I want to apologize for a
couple of months ago, I think I called, or I
mean a couple of weeks ago, I called and told
you about how I shamed my wife's friend for breaking
my glass.
Speaker 3: You remember that, Yes, I do? How that ultimately turn out?
So I saw her on Halloween, okay, and she was
wearing a naughty something, Yes she was. She was like
a devil or something.
Speaker 5: And how'd you feel about her? At that point?
Speaker 19: I forgot to mention this, This girl is like six
foot five, six five tall.
Speaker 5: I'm six two.
Speaker 19: She's taller than me, and I did. I completely forgot
about that.
Speaker 3: Our girls six foot five usually very nice people in general?
Are they kind of mean?
Speaker 19: She's very nice. As my wife puts it, she's she
means good. But when you say that, that usually means
someone is doing something bad or I just can't control themselves.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 19: So anyways, I see her at this party. It's maybe
eleven o'clock, eleven thirty. I'm already drunk or I'm not drunk,
drinking under other substances. And I see her and she goes, hey, guys,
good to see you, and then she looks right out.
She looks down at me. She goes, oh my god,
I am so and then my wife goes, no, no, no, no,
don't don't say anything. I go stop, stop, it's okay.
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for being
upset with you, and just to let you know, I
called a major market radio show and complained about it
to everyone, and I apologize.
Speaker 5: And I'm sorry. And what was her reaction back to that?
Speaker 19: She then preceded me proceeded to ask if I wanted
a fruit punch bowl, and I politely declined because that's disgusting.
So I just wanted to share that with you guys.
Speaker 5: Ok, thank you for that. Thank you very much. Case.
Speaker 3: The last question about this, how is your relationship with
her as we speak right now at eleven fifty four,
it's it's okay. I did get annoyed again with her
after that party, and quite frankly, my wife works from home.
She's a hairdresser, so she came over around eight pm
for a haircut and it's way too late, and once
again I was annoyed with her, and I just wanted
to watch the Lizards game, the Rockets and Lizards game,
and I had to do that in the second bedroom
because when clients are over, I'm not allowed to exist.
Speaker 19: So I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: All right, yeah, bab wait, can you hook her up
with any of your friends?
Speaker 9: Sorry?
Speaker 5: Do you have any friends at all? Six seven?
Speaker 19: I mean that's crazy, I mean maybe, but dude, she's
like one of those girls that's I don't know, she like,
she's like she thinks she's like a model, and but
she drives like a crappy car and lives in one
of those crappy apartments. So I don't know what her
priorities are, and with her breaking my glass, I'm just
oh man, I'm getting angry again thinking.
Speaker 3: About Yea, let's end that conversation. Thank you very much,
Kase So yeah, wabeit. Jonathan. The guy's got a six
foot five her one of her, his wife's best friends,
is six five.
Speaker 5: Help the boy out.
Speaker 8: Help her out.
Speaker 6: From my from my experience, a lot of those tall
women don't care too much about height, so what do what?
They don't care too much about height, Like they don't
care like she you're telling.
Speaker 3: Me a six five woman would wouldn't mind going out
with a five nine guy. I finally, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 6: That's like if he's like say case, with height six two,
six one, maybe like pushing five eleven to six foot,
they really don't mind that bad because they're already taller
than everybody else, you know what I mean, So it's
not like it's new to them.
Speaker 5: My my daughter is six one, and she says she's
marrying somebody taller than she.
Speaker 3: She six one, she's not six five, though, you know
what I mean. It's like, I know, but six one girls,
that's tough too. But you're gonna find a lot of
you're what, six two, six three. You gotta find a
lot of guys that are like at least six three,
six four, you know what I mean? But a woman
finding a six five and higher is kind of like,
you know, it's kind of that's okay. So if you're
a dude it's six five or higher, would like to
date Caso's wife's friend.
Speaker 5: Great, a little love connection here, I don't know. Crappy car,
crappy apartment, crappy cars, break the glass. Uh, there's lost
strikes and he's still had to apologize.
Speaker 3: But she was a devil. She was a naughty devil
on Halloween. I got some points, right, it's a lot
of legs. There's a lot of leg James, what are
you apologizing for?
Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm apologizing for my pun yesterday.
Speaker 5: Oh they were terrible, just terrible.
Speaker 8: Thank you for doing that terrible.
Speaker 18: But one thing I ask is, though, when Hunter Brown
does finish this contract, please don't borice with the details.
Speaker 5: Thank you. Oh he just drove by and did that one.
That was his best one. He's never done.
Speaker 3: But you know what, you know why he said he
was an indictment against me. He just doesn't want to
hear about where he goes somewhere else. He's afraid that
that that UH is going to play for somebody else
when he's probably right. Oh, I mean, do you know
Ross thinks one of the two guys are staying. History
tells me they're both paying you and Hunter and agree
somewhere else. I hope I'm wrong about that. I really
hope I'm wrong about that.
Speaker 6: I mean, Opinion's got the advertisements here in Houston, the community.
Speaker 3: Yeah, making it dvertisement anywhere. Now, Yeah, this is hard,
all right, that's I'm sorry for the week UH at
ants at h town. Leelow says, I can appreciate the
fact that you admitted it on there, but you are
the worst kind of Parker on earth. That's fair. That
is completely fair. And maybe someday I won't be But
if you know what, if these office buildings will start
giving us a little more room between cars, maybe I
won't do it.
Speaker 5: You know you're not the only one that does this
in the building.
Speaker 6: By the way, Well then good, I passed a certain
car every time and he takes a spot and okay.
Speaker 3: Well here's the thing today at two o'clock, go ahead,
to look at my car I got, and I don't
want you to judge me.
Speaker 5: You can judge me. It's not bad. It's not as bad.
I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think I did, like I don't think I
took half of the next spot. But it took definitely
twenty percent of it, I mean twenty percent off of
behindre It is lut eighty. You still can't park in
eighty can unless you got a really small car. All right, ladies, gentlemen,
time for us to wake the strippers up. It's eleven
fifty eight here on Sports Talk seven.
Speaker 5: Ainey, we get to do.
Speaker 9: This is the Matt Thomas Show with.
Speaker 2: Ross twelve o four inh Town. Good lording.
Speaker 5: This is Sports seven.
Speaker 12: I kind of missed the guy.
Speaker 16: Not really a right who to that?
Speaker 5: No, I thought you were gonna click that. I thought
that was so sweet to you? Was I being genuine?
It sounded like twelve o seven on it Anything Goes Friday.
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven eighty.
Speaker 5: Great to have you with us.
Speaker 3: If you need some fantasy football help, we'll get that
before you coming up in fifty minutes from now. You know,
the worst part about it is not having Ross here.
It's not because it was great material. It said, if
I have to cough, do we get that air?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Because you I can't see you. I can't give you
a sign to. I guess you can see me, right, yeah, yeah,
I can see when you're coughing. You know, handwave's I
need Ross for He's my official cover me up on
a cough.
Speaker 5: It's hard to get over.
Speaker 3: By the way I was gonna, I was little nervous
on how long I was gonna go with the strippers
today I did, okay for having a little congestion.
Speaker 21: Is you know.
Speaker 3: We're getting there. Get that sailing going now, feeling much better.
Rockets against the Blazers. We begin the news at noon.
Rocket's going to try to pick up their second consecutive
win at home, their third win in a row overall,
taking on the Portland Trail Blazers. It is an NBA
nd season termament playing game. So A the Rockets must
win and B they need to win by as much
as humanly possible because point differential will to beat a
determination in any tie breakers along the way. So go, Rockets,
go beat the Blazers, and it would be the worst thing.
They won by twenty six points. That's number one. Number two,
we had an American Link MVP Award given away yesterday
and it was Aaron Judge winning for the third time,
and all the big number didn't win. And look, if
we were doing Seattle radio, Jonathan cal Rawly would be
our choice. We love cal Rally and I mean not
we we don't. But you know, if we were an
average baseball fame like well, cal Rawley's doings pretty incredible,
but pound for pound, the better numbers overall. Goaded to
Aaron Judge, isn't an international conspiracy? Isn't it a disgrace
against Seattle fans or a slight against them? The reality
is Aaron Judge deserved the award. He did everything and
then some over a spectacular season by a guy that
normally doesn't do it. So Aaron Judge, congratulations, you were
deserving of the American League MVP Award. And of course
we know shoheo Tony went up the nationally. Do you
think show Tany will win it for the rest of
his life, like as long as he's playing, does it?
Just give him the award and like somebody take it
away from me. That's all I kind of felt about
Lebron James Young in his career. On the NFL front,
we had Dalton Schultz at practice today. Looks like he's
gonna go Sunday for the Texans against the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 5: There will be no c. J.
Speaker 3: Stroud, there will be no Jalen Petrie, and I think
both those guys, frankly, at this point are huge question marks,
even close to being doubtful for the Texans game next
Thursday against the Buffalo Bills. If the Texans do not
beat the Titans by at least ten points this Sunday,
I would say, have a massive protest, but protests don't
typically work. I'd have a massive I don't care fest,
just get rid of all your gear, say see you
next year.
Speaker 5: I'd give up on the season.
Speaker 3: They have to win first and foremost, and they better
win by at least ten points because guess what, you
guys know it Tennessee's the worst football team or one
of the two or three worst football teams in the NFL.
Cam Ward has been a disaster, no surprise. Not much
of a running game to speak of, no receivers to
speak up, their defense, is terrible, and cam Ward's going
through typical rookie growing pains.
Speaker 5: Texans defense should.
Speaker 3: Feast on him all damn day long and then start
to focus on next Thursday's game against Buffalo. I told
you this week ago the Texans need to go seven
to two in their last nine games in order to
make the playoffs. If they win Sunday, there'll be two
to zero in their stretch towards seven to two. But again,
difficult games coming up. Still, you still have two with
the Colts, you still have a game at Kansas City,
and you've got a game at Los Angeles against the Chargers.
It will be an uphill clip battle, an uphill climb,
but there'll be no climbing if you cannot beat the lowly, sucky,
horrifically owned Tennessee Titans in their stadium on Sunday in Nashville.
And that, my friends, is the news at noon seven
one three two one two five seven ninety. What do
you guys want to get to? Seven one three two
one two five seven nine zero. If you want to
follow us on Twitter, you may do that as well
at Sports mt I spent the first half hour of
the show today talking about how sucky. The Hallmark Movie
channel is and today's edition of Hellier or Not is
all things about whether or not this is a Hallmark
movie or not. I'm going to make up some names,
and some names are gonna be authentic in Ruby. Really
Hallmark movies, we plan for that coming up at one
fifty this afternoons. Anything else I'm missing today in the
world of sports, we gotta get to We got Texas
Georgia coming up tomorrow. And look, I don't get into
a deep dive on Texas football, but if you do,
if you're like a diehard Longhorn fan and want to
tell me how your squad is gonna go beat Georgia tomorrow,
I'm all up for that. Uh, Aggies have South Carolina tomorrow.
That should be a piece of cake. My beloved Houston
Cougars do not have a game tomorrow. They have their
second off week of the season, and they've got two
games left, one at home against TCU and they go
to Baylor to.
Speaker 5: Close out the year.
Speaker 3: But yeah, if you're a Texas fan, I mean, y'all
fired up for this, because I guarant you're a number
ten in the college football playoff, you'd be the last
at large team in.
Speaker 5: You beat Georgia and you stay competitive with A and M.
I think you're in. I really do. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Texas fans always see to me be the last ones
wake up on this. Maybe you can put me wrong.
Come on in, Texas fans, just tell me about your squad.
Tell me if you're gonna do it, because honestly, Coop
has been playing archs I should say, has been playing
some of his best football this season.
Speaker 5: That's even after he got can cussed.
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven one eys and
anything goes Friday.
Speaker 5: We take this till two o'clock today. This is Sports
Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 3: Texas Titan Sunday twelve noon, Rockets Blazers Tonight Texas v.
Georgia Tomorrow night. That's the main game on ESPN, ABC.
Maggie South Carolina mac Rhodes out as ad at least
from the temporary could be more of a long term thing.
Speaker 5: Don't know.
Speaker 3: At Baylor also leaving the pro foot of the College
Football Playoff Committee to determine the national champion.
Speaker 5: At least the rankings for the tournament coming up.
Speaker 3: Interesting stories I'm hearing a lot of rumors and don't
want to discuss any of them because they're not true.
But there are people that are trying to whisper things
to me about what's going on at Beata right now.
And again, I've known Mac for a long period of time.
I hope all of whatever's going on can be resolved
ultimately and that he seeks the personal intention that he
needs during this time. But he is currently taking a
leave of absence as athletic director at batter University. Seven
one three two five seven, honey. Last night the Jets
and Patriots played, the Patriots winning the game. As Drake
may underperform for my fantasy team, it's fine.
Speaker 9: I can live with him. Uh.
Speaker 3: And we'll have Doctor Royal coming up in about forty
eight minutes from now. All right, we got to George
with us at twelve twenty and anything goes Friday? George,
how are you, sir?
Speaker 9: What's going on?
Speaker 5: Mister Matt? How are you happy?
Speaker 9: Friday?
Speaker 5: Same to you? What's on your mind today?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 5: Hey, real quick questions.
Speaker 22: You were going to tell me something two fridays ago,
My chance in October thirty first, have you like a special.
Speaker 16: Day for me.
Speaker 5: Happy Halloween. No, no, happy birthday.
Speaker 9: It was my birthday, Matt, it was my birthday. Don't
tell me you forgot I did.
Speaker 16: Oh well, hey, I just turned eighteen.
Speaker 3: So wait wait, wait a minute, you're eighteen years old.
Eighteen years old? Oh this is this is not even
a real George. No chance, and this is not even
a real George no real?
Speaker 9: Quick real?
Speaker 5: Put Okay, Well, first of all, why are you so demented?
Fake George.
Speaker 22: Demented?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 5: What does that mean? Because we have real talk. I
don't know if we have a common friend and he
thinks you're nuts.
Speaker 22: Oh yeah, but he loves to take my money over
at the Sugar Creek though. Hey oh speaking of that.
Speaker 9: Yes, hey, what do you do next Saturday?
Speaker 3: Mister Matt, I am on the road going to Phoenix.
All I'm going to make something up. I'm going to
not be available.
Speaker 22: Oh perfect, So I can use your uve a ticket
for a TV game?
Speaker 5: Do you want to go?
Speaker 8: Hecky?
Speaker 9: I want to go.
Speaker 22: I'm a frog, I'm a booster.
Speaker 5: Wait, man, I can't let frogs in my building.
Speaker 22: Oh no, hey, I were you aged, big hat? You
know you can ask our mysterious friends.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, George, I'll talk to your mysterious
friend En. If I can even hook you guys, I'll
hook you guys up. Yeah, look at me.
Speaker 22: I'm a big based. I seen tickets two years ago
until the Cougar pride got raised. And uh, daddy don't
pay as much as you used to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, when dad doesn't want to Yeah, all right,
I love to go co read.
Speaker 3: That's good, all right, I'll uh, I'll have my people
can reach out to your people.
Speaker 5: How about that?
Speaker 19: All right, we'll put you in a group chat.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I want no more group chats. No,
I'm done with group chats.
Speaker 22: Hey, mister Matt, you're the man man man. Hey, tive
me a joke, real quick, tive me a joke.
Speaker 5: No, Nope.
Speaker 3: Seeing George George front of the show, I can tell
he usually makes unsavory comments about my wife. Actually they're
very savory, which means he can't really talk about him.
He's not eighteen years old. By the way, I would
to say that that was the zero chance, because because
his friend is not eighteen years old, his friend is
probably closer to thirty years old.
Speaker 5: George called the show.
Speaker 3: Anything Goes Friday, By the way, we should both announce
that our friend Klay Thompson you heard this morning on
seven and both offered to get us mcgribs today. We
both politely declined because I already had lunch.
Speaker 5: Already same as there. But you didn't. You just knocked
back a large order of fries, did you not medium?
I asked him for a small. He gave me a medium.
That was do you order a small order of fries? Yeah?
What are you a girl? I just didn't want, you know,
he says, first tree, I didn't. I know, he's in
plints of that.
Speaker 6: I'm like, you know, let me just get a little
small you know, I have lunch right here, so just
a little taste the fries.
Speaker 3: No grown ass man should ever order a small order
of fries. What I'm knocking die a large fry for
that's a that's a whole now. I'm just saying, like,
you go go mediums because you, oh, you got a
pair down there, small fries.
Speaker 6: I wanted to ask for a side sound on top
of it, already had already had like some shrimps and
rice from leftovers. Lesson take a medium fries, so at
least you know what you got That's what he gave
me anyway, I mean I had it. Okay, we'll see
that because you knew you were a man, he didn't
realize he was ordering for a girl.
Speaker 5: I was Chobby Plight.
Speaker 3: Okay, and I'll buy that by that for a second.
Let's talk to Brent in Beaumont. Anything goes Friday. Brent,
good afternoon to you.
Speaker 20: Hey, Matt, what are you doing next Saturday night?
Speaker 5: Nothing? None of your business. Nothing.
Speaker 3: I don't want anybody know him with anybody. I'm you know,
I'm gonna be next Saturday. I'm gonna be at my
Cougars versus TCU game. That's a great idea, Brent, all.
Speaker 20: Right, thank you, sir. Hey, I'm excited for the game tonight,
but I'm kind of looking past that and maybe this
is cart before the horse. I see, we got the
Nuggets coming up next game on the Cup and for
the rest of the year, we're gonna deal with the Nuggets.
What the heck are we gonna do with jok He's
having a phenomenal standout here. Uh So, I don't know
how we deal with them. It seemed like in your
past just ran around and ignored him.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 20: I mean, he's still gonna push. He's gonna push KD around,
He's gonna pull push out your around. You just put
Tari on him out for the best and just watch
out for double team swarming you can.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, let me ask you that, Let me
ask you this question, because yeah, let me ask you this, Brent.
Last week where people flipping about how the Rockets are
gonna try to stop Victor Wyman Yama.
Speaker 20: Not that I was aware of. I thought he was
gonna be a pushover. Honestly, I thought we were a
lot better than that game.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, clearly Jokich is a much more gifted is a
more gifted player right now than Victory is. I understand that.
But if you continue to and I'm not saying you
in particular, but if you are always worried about who's
on the other side, you're never gonna win. And that's
why Jokic is a pain in the ass. He's hard
to stop. There's probably a very good chance a week
from today he scores forty points against the Rockets. But
you but that doesn't mean that it's guaranteed victories. I mean,
Yoka scored fifty points before in a game for Denver
and still lost. You gotta worry about the Aaron Murray's
of the world and some other folks on that basketball team.
If you're just saying stopping is guaranteeing success, Denver is
too good and too deep to say that.
Speaker 20: But no, you're absolutely right. I mean, you got Gordon
on that team. He's a I don't want to see younger,
but him and and Murray are both in their primes.
I mean they're they're running up the court making plays
and and uh definitely being there when Jokic, uh, you know,
gets swarmed. I'm not saying it's impossible, looks difficult. And
I haven't seen a team this year be able to
deal with them, you know. Uh again, this is cart
before the horse. I'm excited for the games, uh, and
and I am interested tonight for the for the for
the opposing team. Hair report from you and Ac?
Speaker 7: Was I wrong?
Speaker 5: Was I wrong about Washington though? Was I wrong? It was?
Speaker 20: It was very interesting hearing uh, the both of you
gentlemen falling over from Harryman's.
Speaker 13: That was very interesting.
Speaker 5: Yea, and thank you.
Speaker 3: No, we gotta we gotta straighten that out a little
bit because people are like, what the hell is he
talking about? Jonathan uh Keishawn George had quite a maine Okay,
I mean that free flowing hair. You know what I'm
talking about?
Speaker 5: Like, what do they call it? What do the kids
call it? It's poofed out?
Speaker 21: I mean.
Speaker 20: No, it was.
Speaker 5: How can I explain it?
Speaker 16: Can?
Speaker 5: I need to send you a picture of what you
look like?
Speaker 3: It was like, uh, a fro basically, And there were
like five or six different Washington Wizards players that had
full froze going like I just yeah, he alfaro get it? Yeah, yeah,
but you don't normally see that in an NBA game.
Yeah he's yeah, he's full rocking it. Yeah, there's like
four on one team that had it. They had a
bunch of white guys wearing headbands too. They're nothing more
irritating than a white guy wearing a headband. Corey Kispert,
I'm talking about you.
Speaker 5: Why is it?
Speaker 11: Wait?
Speaker 5: Why is it irritated the way a headband?
Speaker 9: Chris?
Speaker 5: People shouldn't be wearing head bands begin with. Doesn't they
keep this way? That's all? There are a lot of
NBA players, just Kevin Durant wear a head band. No,
he only take care of his hair. Let's be honest, Klan.
Does a man Thompson wear a head band?
Speaker 19: No?
Speaker 3: The only guy in the Rockets that wear what is it?
Joshua Kogie wears one? Does Aaron Holliday wear one? Jay
Shaun Tait sometimes does? Back in your day, it was
everybody's back in my day. I'm nineteen ninety. Michael Jordan
didn't wear a headman.
Speaker 5: Everybody else around was wearing. John didn't wear a head band.
I did. Larry burddn't he? I might have.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair, But there was just a lot of
main going on that Washington Wizards team. I'm just gonna
tell you that right now. There are four or five
of them that had it. They should have been worried
more about their hair care than and then playing defense,
because they certainly didn't care about playing defense.
Speaker 5: And no, I'm not jealous. Do you could you imagine
me with a fro? I could? You could?
Speaker 17: Not?
Speaker 5: I could? It's your little perm dreads.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's saying something I went too far? Tonay, that's fine.
Do you ever hear those red Bull commercials? Jonathan both
he those those ladies have just talk.
Speaker 5: Them out?
Speaker 3: Actually, can you go back and play on commercial for
like five seconds, go to the red Bull one.
Speaker 5: One second? Do we always listen to who these people are?
Or it's just like a fake radio people doing the show?
Can you get it?
Speaker 3: Or no?
Speaker 5: Tanya?
Speaker 3: You know, we have jobs that require to have a
lot of pep in our step when we're on the mic.
Speaker 5: But let's be real. Some days we know who Tanya is?
I mean, do you know what red Bull? Have you tried?
Speaker 9: I have?

I missing out who Tanya is? Do I work with Tanya?
You've been in it's Tanya on the bean. I don't
even know how like you've been a part of I
heard media thirty years? Oh yeah, yeah, it's been that long.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah. I feel like I was supposed to know
who Tanya is.
Speaker 3: Because all she does talk about how how many hours
she works in front of the microphone on her podcast
and her show him like, I don't even know who
Tanya is?
Speaker 5: I mean, am I missing something else?
Speaker 4: Is?
Speaker 3: She's not like a Delilah for somebody? Right, She's not
do an American Top forty with with Ryan Seacrest? Is
she gotta be a big name though it's so big
that I don't know who it is. You don't know
who it is, and you're young, just throwing it out there.
Maybe know wh what Tanya is? Let me know, because men,
Tanya wants me to drink a lot of red Bull.
You know, I've never had a red Bull before in
my life.
Speaker 5: Never. Never. Uh, I'm Tanya rad Oh on air with

Speaker 9: No, this is Mark the Aggie.
Speaker 5: Oh hi Mark d.
Speaker 12: Yeah from It's been a while. I've been up here
about a year and a half.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 19: Anyway, isn't a red bull?
Speaker 12: And that a longhorn drink?
Speaker 5: I don't know do red doo? Is that one?
Speaker 9: That?
Speaker 5: Only?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 21: A bet?
Speaker 5: I bet Aggie's drink red Bull?
Speaker 12: No, because Art got six million to promote it.
Speaker 5: Anyway, I did not know that. Do you know about
nil deals? I don't even know what guys make anymore?
Speaker 19: Do you.
Speaker 21: Some of them?
Speaker 5: Do people pay attention to that kind of stuff?
Speaker 9: There?
Speaker 12: Old smartest quarterback left eight million on the table, and
I think he's on the practice squad.
Speaker 5: Now, don't talk about quinny rs that way. That's not
very nice.
Speaker 9: What's a fact?
Speaker 19: You?
Speaker 5: Are you going to the South Carolina game tomorrow? By
the way, No, why not?
Speaker 16: I'm watching on TV.
Speaker 3: Why don't you go to the game and support your eggs?
Won't you do your little loud dance in the fourth quarter?
Why don't you do the poop and all this stuff
that the Aggie wore him?
Speaker 5: Guys do?
Speaker 16: So that's that's a long way away.
Speaker 5: It's tomorrow, eleven o'clock in the morning. Isn't it early?
Speaker 16: Yeah, but that's twelve.
Speaker 12: That's like a thousand miles away from Nashville.
Speaker 5: Oh you do live in Nashville.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm been up here a year and a half.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, and now I'm mixing my Okay, I got you.
So you live in Nashville, but you're an aggie, right, Okay,
all right.
Speaker 16: The PSA.
Speaker 12: I don't know if y'all got your email or whatever,
but the PSA is, anybody that's coming up here, be
very careful when you got an adult Disneyland Broadway with
all the bars, because they have a big problem with
people getting nickey's and getting drugged, really really, and I
don't you know it. I never had heard anything mentioned
about it until you know, basically I got up here.
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny because yesterday my son just called
me and told me that he's got a business trip
to Nashville next month.
Speaker 5: And he's like, what do you do in Nashville?
Speaker 3: I said, I've It's one of the fuse that is
have not gone to very many times because there's been
no professional teams there that I've covered. I mean, there's
no NBA team and I've only gone a couple of
times for colleges. But all I know is it's the
isn't it the like the epicenter of everybody's uh what
do they call him getting to engagement party?
Speaker 5: The bacherette party. Isn't that the bacherette party of the
capital of the world.
Speaker 12: Yeah, supposedly, and it's called uh nash Vegas and everybody
you know, all the country singers and.
Speaker 5: Kid rock yep uh.
Speaker 12: They they all have bars and you know, they're their
names on the bar.
Speaker 9: But they'll be.
Speaker 12: As many as almost a million people down there on
certain nights, is what they've said.
Speaker 5: And you stay far away from that, I'm assuming.
Speaker 12: Yeah, oh yeah, I don't need to go pay nine
bucks for a beer along neck Okay, So all right,
that's fine. The joke is I'm ana aggie, I'm not stupid,
all right.
Speaker 5: That seems fair. Okay, anything else?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 5: Good? You are you going to the Texans game on Sunday?
Now all right?
Speaker 12: Watch it on TV?
Speaker 5: Do you ever leave your house? Period? I mean are you?
Speaker 19: Are you?
Speaker 5: Are you out and about in Nashville very often?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 12: But I have my certain spots Okay, good where you
don't have to pay thirty five bucks to park. Okay,
But anyway, the important thing is tell everybody if they're listening,
or remind them to be careful when they come up here.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: I don't know if traveling Texans listens to my show
per se, but I will be happy to pass that
along to them. Mark, thank you for calling my man.
Take care of yourself, Appreciate you doing, and have a
good weekend and go eggs.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 5: I did tell my son. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I wasn't like trying to like encourage him, Jonathan, but
I was like, you're going to Nashville next month on business.
That town parties hard.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean when I was in West Kentucky, it was
only an hour away and we would always go down there.
Speaker 5: I mean it's fun.
Speaker 6: I mean even you're eighteen nineteen, lot things go down there,
like what Like I had roommates that would disappear for
like a week, just just like you know, come back.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I just I was at a party, you know,
took that and then I was on the street. They
were gone for an entire week. This is this is
I'm you're making this out. No I'm not.
Speaker 6: And I put this on the Lord like a right,
like you go to Broadway or down there in Nashville,
like they go crazy, like you can find spots.
Speaker 3: Very let's let's let's be brutally honest with this. A
lot of girls go there for or bachelor at weekends, yep,
because you can bar hop and you go to different places.
You got about eight or ten girls that go. It's
not very expensive to go. You all jam into one
hotel room or airbnb. And of those ten girls, you
have the girl that's getting married, who's gonna behave yourself.
You get probably two or three that are already married,
and then that group of ten, you got five or
six that are single and ready.
Speaker 6: To mingle and don't really care where they sleep, and
they mingle and they mingle. It's a very fun time though,
I mean it's very like Broadway is very nice. If
you're not into the country, you know, the country.
Speaker 5: I don't think you have to be in the country
music to enjoy it Broadway.
Speaker 6: That's just like the attire you're going to see there,
like the cowboy hats, you know, like the boots and
all that stuff.
Speaker 3: If it's basically if you if you now, if you
don't drink, you're gonna have zero fun because they're little.
Everybody on those streets and Broadway they just get hammered.
And like I said, if you're singling, ready to mingle,
you're gonna zero problem with it. Now, the roofie thing
is terrible. Yeah, that's that's that's and I bet that's
but that can happen.
Speaker 5: In every city. It's got a party reputation to it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess, but it makes it worse for Nashville
because this is one big strip too. So I mean,
have you ever got if you got, how many bachelor
parties you've been in two in your life?
Speaker 5: Bachelor's parties?
Speaker 6: Not one?
Speaker 3: Not one, not a single one one. I'm trying to think.
I don't think I've ever been to one away from Houston.
I've gone to bachelor parties in Houston. I've had my
bachelor party in Houston.
Speaker 6: Now, is that only in the movies where they go
crazy have bachelor parties? Or is that like or is
that like a real thing? It depends on who you're with.
Speaker 5: I will say.
Speaker 3: My bachelor party, I told the guys, I said, hey,
let's get a big room in a hotel, like a suite.
Let's fill up the bathtub, with beer and play cards
all night. Okay, that sounds that sounds a good time.
That lasted five minutes. What do you mean only less
than five minutes because all the guys, every one of them,
especially the married ones, wanted to go to the Wren's Rub.
I should say the Wren's Club. Well probably, I mean
the Red Rub would actually fit in as well, but
that's an different issue for a different time.
Speaker 18: Uh.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They the married dudes were like, let's go out. I
hate my wife, let's go. Single guys are like, we
do this all the time. It's nothing for us. Marry
guys are like, I got eleven hundred dollars for about
ten table.
Speaker 5: Dances, let's go. That's you know, that's the marriage.
Speaker 3: There was one married guy at my bachelor party that
I mean, he had a wat of one hundred dollar bills.
Speaker 5: He's like, we're not playing cards, we are not drinking beer,
we are going out. That's all right, it's fine.
Speaker 3: So our show is set for the remaining seventy two
minutes of it. We've got Doctor Roto coming up at
one o'clock. We have non Florida stories in at one
thirty this afternoon. Am I gonna do you wanna do
two or one today? Jonathan, I'm gonna probably try to
find two. I'm gonna try to find two. Uh definitely. Okay, Well,
well you got your only one for sure? Maybe we
got time for a second one? So and then hell
yer not today? Is is this movie gonna be seen
on the Hallmark Channel this year for Chris's movies? If
you didn't listen short earlier today, I hate the Hallmark
Channel and hates a strong term.
Speaker 5: I hate it.
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven nintie seven
one three two one two five seven NINTI. Let's talk
to Yankees, Keith Yankees, Keith, congratulations on your guy, Aaron
Judge being named the MVP of the American League yesterday.
Speaker 16: Yeah, he's my son and I'm very proud of him.
Speaker 5: You should be.
Speaker 16: Anyway. I'm what I'm calling about, is I know you
like Tommy Matt I do. We got a great documentary
that came out last night for Eddie Murphy. Yeah, it
lasts about two hours. I can tell you that straight up. Okay,
I got let me ask you a question, man, I
don't think in my mind is no more talented person
just ever done comedy or movies and Eddie Murphy, can
you name one?
Speaker 3: Eddie Murphy is the funniest stand up comedian in the
history of stand up comedy. And there are a lot
of good ones. There's George Carlin, there is Richard Pryor,
there's Red Fox for Old School. There's a lot of
George Carlin. There's a lot of them, but he's He's
the all time best.
Speaker 16: Yeah, he did all all those movies. He did a
great job in a whole bunch of movies. Did you
know that in the movie Coming to America and that
barbershop scene he played every character in there.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 16: And when he did the was that the nutty Professor?
And he had a scene at the table with a
whole bunch of clumps.
Speaker 20: Family.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was all the clubs.
Speaker 16: Yes, that was fantastic.
Speaker 19: Man.
Speaker 16: I don't know anybody. There's nobody that's like him, absolutely nobody.
Speaker 5: No, he is in you know.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad he's actually able to reconvene with the
folks at SNL because I was mad for a long
time about them. He made they made a joke about
all the bad movies he made for a while, and
he said, f you go. Ime going away, and about
five years ago he came back and hosted the show
he was on. He's been on some of the anniversary shows.
He's the funniest now. The funniest man in my entire
life to me was Robin Williams because of his ability
to just add live the funniest stuff on earth. But
Eddie Murphy's not far behind, that's for sure.
Speaker 16: You know what, you know, he survived. He was on
it with but Lucy and all of them. I don't
know how many Pattern and Knight Live characters side on
a natural death. There's a lot of people got old
and all kinds of stuff off. He survived all that.
He said, you never touched cocaine.
Speaker 5: He's lucky.
Speaker 3: He's one of the rare ones that because I'm gonna
assume that during that time in SNL that there was
the white stuff was readily available.
Speaker 5: That's all I got. That's it, all right, Thank you,
thank you very much. Eddie Murphy in there and it
goes Friday.
Speaker 3: You know, Jonathan, other stations in town are giving you
the details of what the Techans offensive line's gonna do
this week.
Speaker 5: We haven't done that today. No, I think I've let
you down. I mean there was twenty five and twenty four.
Speaker 3: Oh you know we had not even done that. Can
you give me some look up music here? Because that's
usually that's that's a ross's job. How is the Texans
offensive line this week? Just find some you find some fine,
I don't care what you find. Just find some music here.
Let's take a look. I don't even know how to
work this out. This website PFF dot com. Are you
with jeopardy?
Speaker 9: I like this? I know you do.
Speaker 3: You've used this couple of times before. Where would I
find offensive? All right, I'm gonna google. I'm gonna google
pe FF offensive line grades. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 5: This is it. I'm a little nervous about this is
gonna be. This is ahead of week number ten.
Speaker 18: Uh.
Speaker 3: This was posted on November the fifth. That's a week ago.
So we're behind you here a little bit. It's not
great radio here, m.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 3: This is the last one I can find? Is the
one five days ago? Where's the one from yesterday?
Speaker 5: I screw it from yesterday?
Speaker 19: Well?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they usually done on Wednesdays and two days ago,
don't they usually do them on Wednesdays? The last one
I see here is updated November the fifth.
Speaker 5: That's not any good. I can't do me any good
on that. Yeah, this one's don't remember first I found.
Speaker 3: All Right, I'm gonna ask the audience, does anybody know
where I can get me some PFF offensive line grades
with the Texans?
Speaker 5: And this one has the Houston at sixteen. No, it's
a lie. This is I don't know. I found like
I found it here.
Speaker 3: Let's see here PFF offensive line rankings through ahead of
week eleven. Here we go, by the way, the culture
number two, that's not good. I gotta read it takes okay,
here we go Denver's one staying with me culture II.
Speaker 5: Uh oh, and then it wants me to pay for
the rest of the service. I'll screw that.
Speaker 3: I'm not doing that, he says, want to keep reading subscribe.
I'm not subscribing to PFF. Right, you know what I'm
gonna say right now? Accring to Pro Football Focus, they're
the twenty seventh offensive line twice seventh. I'm just gonna guess.
I don't know if that for a fact or not.
I wonder if Rono knows that you think Rono pays
for PFF. He might Actually, he probably does I would
think in his job he'd kind of want to. Right,
we're gonna have to ask him to do that. All right,
there you go, so uh sorry we could not give
you the answer that I don't think I've med an
audience is necessarily waiting for it.
Speaker 5: I can't believe Ross pays for PFS. That's all I
was gonna say. This man, a guy won't buy.
Speaker 3: Me a coke and he's buying for PFF grades. That's terrible. Okay,
I see how were his importance is. He'd really have
had the dorks in Cincinnati, although we did call them
poon hounds because they are pooonhounds.
Speaker 5: They they're getting some ass.
Speaker 3: I get that, but he's paying for that, and he
won't pay for other things, like he's shaming me into
buying this a botch you frame, and he won't and
he won't even you know, he's the least can who.
Speaker 5: Share his pass co with me. I bet you if
you would have asked me for he left me.
Speaker 3: I should have a when he goes on vacation next time, said, look,
I need your PFF pass grade their pass codes, and
by the way, you not that damn important PFF that
I have to start to subscribing to your service. I'm
the one giving you all the run. All right, Hey,
you guys can get your fantasy football questions ready. Let's
get those ready for Doctor Roto next here on Sports
Talk seven ninety if you would like to join the
conversation and get your questions in about your favorite fantasy
football players seven one three two one two five seven
ninety seven three two one two five seven.
Speaker 1: Honey, this is the Matt Thomas Show with Rosso.
Speaker 5: Waiver claims.
Speaker 2: Have to be made and I've got.
Speaker 23: Trade proposals fly in my way.
Speaker 5: My first round pig turned out to be a big flop.
I don't know which.
Speaker 23: Wide receiver I need to drive. Doctor Roto give me
the news. I really don't know what I should do.
My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've got a batcas unfair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to see.
Speaker 4: With.
Speaker 3: It is the fastest thirty minutes in major market sports radio.
We present to you off Friday get together of all
things that is known as Doctor Roto here on Sports
Talk seven.
Speaker 5: I think Doctor Roto joining us from Southwest Florida, Rhoda.
Are you a Pro Football Focus subscriber?
Speaker 9: I am. I mean it's changed over the years. If
I can say this, I mean I was there when
I started, when my friend Mike Clay worked there and
Jeff Rockcliffe. I think the people there are good. It's
not as good as side as it used to be,
but you know, still has a good stat I was going.
Speaker 3: To look for the offensive line rankings of the Texans
according to PFF, and they wanted to charge. I'm like,
screw that. I A'm don't worrying about that right now,
and I can just tell you they stuck generally.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's usually an easy way to look at it.
You say, who's let up the mode sacks? And when
you see it's your team, you know it's not good.
Speaker 3: Hey, uh, I got a serious problem when we're gonna
have this coming in next Thursday's game with Buffalo in Houston. Look,
I Drake yesterday and I wasn't expecting Drake May to
score you know, four touchdowns and three undy yards every
single week. But are you I just feel like I'm
noticing my my Thursday players that I'm using are not
performing as well.
Speaker 5: Short week obvious, But.
Speaker 3: Is it scare you off sometimes of picking a guy
because they're playing on the short week in your mind
or do you say, if he's still a good player,
he's always gonna be a good player, don't worry about
the day of the week.
Speaker 9: The answer that question is yes to both things. So
I hate playing Thursday night, guys, I absolutely despise it.
But are you gonna sit Drake May against the Jets?
No problem was he was good, he wasn't great. I
mean what he put up to you fourteen about eighteen points?
Speaker 5: Yeah, not enough that he usually it's a twenty one
to twenty two range.
Speaker 9: Because we get spoiled right when you guys do that.
So you know Dokiveld Henderson was going to have all
those touchdowns. No, I would call May's game good, not great.
You're going to need the rest of your team to
play well. But I agree with you. Those Thursday games
are rough. Sometimes they're high scoring and then sometimes like
I mean, we saw that horrible game the other week,
you know, Denver and the Raiders, So you just have
to be very careful. I use my guys very judiciously.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to some of the interesting games,
and I'm going to put them in terms of if
the Texans win this.
Speaker 5: Game which they're supposed to against Tennessee.
Speaker 3: They're terrible. That puts them at five and five. You
got to start rooting for some other folks to lose.
Let's start with how we feel about the Jacksonville, LA
Chargers game. Going across the country is one thing. Chargers
are good on national stages, not so hot in non
national stages. And then what is luck for the Jaguars
after the humiliating loss they had last Sunday here in Houston.
Speaker 9: Yeah, what a disaster that was. I think that if
you're the Chargers, this is a game that you need
to win, right if you want any chance of being
in the AFC playoffs. You got to go on the road.
You got to fly across the country. You got to
play their early game, which we know that West Coast
teams hate doing. And you've got to win this one. Now.
Should they be able to win this game? I think so.
I think you're looking at a team Gatston is fine.
Were worried when he left the field last week injury,
but he's back. You've got Quentin Johnson, You've got Lad McConkie,
You've got Keenan Allen. All you have to do is
keep the Jaguars defense from sacking Dustin Herbert. Here's the
good news. The Jaguars don't have a good pass rush.
So the one team that the teams that could beat
the Chargers right now are the teams that could sack Herbert.
I think Herbert will have time to pick them apart.
And if you give Herbert time, they should come out
with a road win.
Speaker 3: All right, let's go Tampa Bay in Buffalo. I don't
know the what is gonna be like in Northeastern in
New York, but I know Tampa over its history, no
matter how good they've been, have struggled going say, north
of Atlanta. Buffalo is spectacular at home and really frankly
pedestrian on the road this so far this year.
Speaker 9: You're absolutely right. Now, here's the thing. Bucky Irving is out,
Chris Godwin is out. How do you beat the Bills?
You run the football on the Bills. So unless Sean
Tucker is doing it, I think they're in trouble. Right
If Bucky Irving was healthy and playing, I think Tampa
would have had a better shot here. Now, how do
you beat Tampa? While you beat Tampa by throwing the
football because you can't run on Tampa. So sha, but
King cad is out, So I think you have two
teams that are good, but the guys who could help
them be great are both out. So I think this
comes down to can Josh Allen find his receivers? Can
James Cook break off a big player two? I think
that has a better chance of happening. Also, so I
think Buffalo is going to lose a game to Tampa
after losing to Miami. It doesn't feel that way. Give
me Buffalo in this one.
Speaker 3: This game with Kansas City and Denver, I think Rodo
is super important for standings. Denver wants to be a
legitimate AMC title contender. Kansas City has had a tough schedule.
They're barely above five hundred. They lose this and there
Flirton was staying on the south side of the playoff line.
Speaker 9: Well, you're right, So this game has a lot of
variables to it. First of all, I don't think JK.
Dobbins plays if he's out. Are Jay Harvey is going
to be their starting running back? So if you have him,
it's not the greatest start in the world because the
Chiefs are good deep, but he's definitely start a ball.
There's a possibility that Margaret Mims comes back and he
had a full practice, so he's been playing. That really helps.
But they're not gonna be able to run the ball
so much. They're gonna have to throw it. We don't
really see the Denver Broncos want to do that. So
now all of a sudden, you're getting a Denver team
that needs to pass against a Kansas City team that
knows it's coming right on the other side of the football.
Kansas City can't run. Pachecko likely is out again, and
Denver's pass defense has been good. So I think you've
got the makings of a really good football game. But
in terms of fantasy goodness, I don't know whether we
see a ton of guys go off in this one.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 3: Detroit plays at Philadelphia in a national game for the Eagles.
They played the Packers last week in one of the
most boring Monday night games you'll see in quite some time. Now, Look,
defense wins games, but doesn't make an exciting for us
fantasy owners. Are we worried about the Eagles defense curtilling
what Detroit's been not been able to put out this year?
Speaker 9: Maybe slightly, but not enough. I mean, look, they got
they finally got Jamison Williams evolved. Who've been waiting for
that all season long? But I love almar Ross, Saint Brown,
you gotta love Gibbs, and you got to play golf.
And I think with Sam Laporten not at one hundred percent,
Jamison Williams might be in play. I think the guy
that people are sleeping on in this game is AJ Brown.
When AJ Brown starts complaining, they feed him the football.
It happens all the time, and Detroit plays a lot
of man coverage. You don't want to play man coverage
against AJ Brown. This is going to be one of
those AJ Brown one hundred and twenty yard two touchdown games.
I don't think people are expecting it, but it's going
to happen. Whenever he complains, they feed him.
Speaker 5: All right, Doctor Rota with uson into the bottom of
the ar.
Speaker 3: Your questions are coming up for the next segment at
seven one three, two, one two five seven enemy. Is
everything all well now in Baltimore? Now that Lamar Jackson's
back throwing the plasses around, I think.
Speaker 9: Things are as good as they're going to be. I mean, look,
they got to have a very winnable game this week.
They just have to keep Miles Garrett away from Lamar.
I don't know whether Derrick Henry's going to be able
to run for a ton of yards, but you should
be effective enough. But you guys, say Flowers, you have
Mark Andrews, You've got a defense that's playing a whole
lot better, which I think that was the biggest problem.
Marlon Humphrey is out, but you know you've got a
woozy a and you got Wiggins at the cornerbacks. I
think that helps. Rokwan Smith was out now he's back,
So I think so long as the Ravens defense is healthy,
it keeps them in games. The problem here for Cleveland
is that they just don't have enough offensively. I mean,
Dylan Gabriel is not good enough. Sure, I like Quinn
Shawn Judkins, but you know, Cedric Tillman not healthy, Harold
Fannon dealing with questionable as well in the practice reports.
They just don't have enough. Baltimore should pull this one out.
I really like Mark Andrews to score.
Speaker 3: Everybody wearing a Carolina skill position player and lug Ric
o'donald has been largely a huge surprise for how good
he's been because of the split running back situation. But
have we been Are there any sneaky Carona players that
still might be available, especially for some guys that may
be on an off week.
Speaker 9: Here, not really, honestly, without without McMillan getting injured, and
if McMillan was injured, I tell you, I like Jalen Kolker,
But if McMillan's not injured, you literally have Rico dowdle
on to Troy McMillan and that's it. You don't have
anybody else that they're even thinking of starting now. Atlanta,
though they're interesting to me, Jean Robinson is going to
have a better week. Carolina's run defense has been both
hot and cold. I think it's going to be very
cold this week. Drake London is in a prime spot
and Kyle Pitts is in a great spot. All three
of those guys are in great spots. The big problem
is Michael Pennix Junior, who has been supremely inaccurate over
the last few games. If he can figure it out,
the Falcon should roll in this one.
Speaker 3: Minnesota needs this one of the worst way if they
want to get back in the NFC race. They're only
two guys of the first play spot between Detroit and Chicago.
I think the division's only going to get maybe one,
and because I think maybe those teams in the end
and the West may scoop up all the wild cards.
But can Minnesota with McCarthy back now a couple of
weeks go up with the Chicago offense, which is really
play well last month or so.
Speaker 9: The surprising answer is yes. Now, last week McCarthy was
throwing what I call hospitaballs. He was putting guys in
positions that they were going to get whacked, and you
never want that. It felt like justin Jefferson gave up
sometime in the second half because he was tired of
getting hit. McCarthy is a work in progress. This is
really his first season. He's going to have ups and
he's going to have downs. Here's the thing. Chicago doesn't
put a ton of pressure on the quarterback. If McCarthy
has time to sit there, he will be able to
pick apart this defense that allows big plays. I think
Jefferson does have a bigger week. I think Jalen Naylor
is a sneaky guy. I mean, McCarthy seems super comfortable
with him, and I think We're finally going to see TJ. Hockinson.
We haven't heard that name in weeks. I think he's
in play. On the other side, look, it's really really
hard to trust Caleb Williams. He's just a mess. But
I think we start DeAndre Swift for sure. Ro Madunze,
you know, not a great stylistic matchup here. I think
if More is out, take a look at Luther Burton.
Minnesota's not against slot receivers. All right.
Speaker 3: Lastly, you've got the Texans and Titans. It sounds like
we know for a fact that CJ's not playing this week.
It sounds very doubtful for the Buffalo game. In Mills,
we trust against very few opponents. One of them would
be the worst team in the NFL, the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 9: Look, here is what Texans need to do. You need
to play Woody Marx. Okay, they did it last week,
but it was almost like they did it by accident.
You can't do it by accident. You have to do
it by design. Davis Mills did a credible job last week.
But you have Woody Marx and you have Nico Collins.
You've got to feature your best players. If you don't
even a bad team like Tennessee if you keep it
close enough. Strange things happen in the NFL MT and
we don't need that to happen here. We need the
Texans to play fantastic defense, which we know that they do,
and we need them to feature Woody Marx and get
him more involved. Why have we not seen Woody Marx
more involved in the passing game. This guy was one
of the best receiving running backs in all of college
football last year and basically he got two receptions. I mean,
you've got to do better than that. So, yeah, the
Texans should win this game, but if they really want
to make a push to go deep in the playoffs
or you make the playoffs, got to phase out Chubb
faithe in Woody Marks.
Speaker 3: This sounds personal. You got you on team Woody Marks.
You guy must have like three teams with Woody Marks
on it.
Speaker 9: Well, a little bit, but I'm also you know what
it looked personally. I hate when general managers and coaches
screw things up. It's like Tradon Henderson Brabel didn't want
to play this guy for how many weeks they were
playing Steven sam when he was fumbling all over the place.
They finally played this guy. Look how good he's been
the last two weeks. It's like, ooh, Henderson was good.
Of course he was good. They just didn't play him,
didn't heat it up empty.
Speaker 3: I have found the Woody Marks fan club president. His
name is doctor Rodo seven one three two one two
five Sevenatti seven one three two one two five Sevenatti.
Your questions for doctor Roto are next. This is sports
Talk Sevenatti.
Speaker 16: Don't take that.
Speaker 2: Welcome to.
Speaker 3: All of our fantasy football dreams come true with the
good doctors with us year on Sports Talk seven ninety.
If you want to chime in on the conversation, you
may do so at seven one three two one two
five seven nine zero. Let's start with John for doctor
Rono on seven hoey, Hi, John, Hey, how.
Speaker 14: To go on?
Speaker 19: Man?
Speaker 8: Good?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 6: I got two questions for you.
Speaker 5: Do you start Carol Williams or why no?
Speaker 16: Robinson? Or And then my other question is Woody Mark
or Rashaw White?
Speaker 9: Thank you all right? You got it. So I think
as much as I like Woody Marks, you might have
to go with Rashad White. And this one, Bucky Irving
is out and the way to beat the Bills is
to run the football. So I think you're gonna go
with White because you don't know if the Texans are
going to commit to Woody Marks, and you also know
this is probably going to be a pretty low scoring game. Look,
I don't love Karen Williams's not trip at all. Seattle's
really good stopping to run. But I can't tell you
to start Wandale Robinson. That feels a little too risky
for me. So let's go Kyron and let's go Rashad White.
Speaker 5: All right, continuing on with Brian for doctor Rode, Go ahead.
Speaker 9: Brian, Hey, everybody, Hey, doctor Rodo.
Speaker 5: I have a quarterback matchup dilemma.
Speaker 17: And I got Mahomes and Purdy and Asat McCarthy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, look you gotta I think you have to start Mahomes.
It's not that Party doesn't have a good matchup.
Speaker 21: He does.
Speaker 9: He is a very solid matchup McCarthy. That's a risk
after what we saw last week. Look, this is a game.
The Chiefs need to win this game if they want
to make the playoffs. They have nobody running the football.
The only way Kareem Hunt scores is if you know
Worthy or Hollywood Brown or Travis Kelcey trips in the
two yard line, that could happen, But outside of that,
I think Mahomes throws for at least two touchdowns.
Speaker 5: Thanks for the phone call.
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven, Hony, Evan
and pass it get down Dina for doctor Rodeo.
Speaker 9: Go ahead, Evan, Hey, doctor rodo you like Derrick Henry
or Travis Etn? I like Derrek Henry in that one.
Speaker 5: Look.
Speaker 9: I know it's a tough matchup. I get that, but
I just feel like you have to Baltimore is gonna
give Henry twenty touches at football, and once again, strange
things happen in the NFL. Guys trip on the three
yard line, they bring in Henry, Henry gets a touchdown.
It happens that way. Etn's been decent. I just feel
like with the Jaguars there, they've got a lot of guys.
Etn had pretty good touchdown equity last week, but two
weeks ago he couldn't find the end zone, so he's
more consistent.
Speaker 3: How do you trust any Jacksonville skill position player? Honestly,
I mean we have spent so many years, Rhoda, you
and I to talking about Trevor Lawrence, all this money
that you spend on him, He's just not even an
average NFL quarterback?
Speaker 9: Agreed? And here's what happens. Why are teams stuck in
mediocrity because they overpay Trevor Lawrence? Right, how do you
win in the NFL? You win on rookie contracts. You're
bringing a young quarterback, you pay him very little because
the minute you have to pay him big money, teams
don't want to get rid of them. Look at Daniel
Jones and the Giants, look at look at Trevor Lawrence,
Look at Kyler Murray. Arizona can't get rid of him.
Speaker 5: Any stinks him into that.
Speaker 3: Let's continue on and talk to Corey on seven Honey
for Doctor Rod Go ahead, Corey, what up?
Speaker 18: Fellows? Doctor Rover got two questions? First of all, do
I play hasn't played all season?
Speaker 12: First game?
Speaker 18: Back Rock Party or or Davis Mills against the worst
defense in the league. And second question is who would
you take? Who's a better sidekick for Matt over? Reliable
Ross or young new fresh Cole Thompson.
Speaker 9: I can't go against my guy Ross. You know that,
That's right, Purty, look perty in a good spot. I
think that. Look, Mac Jones has done a really terrific job.
But this game against the Cardinals, this should be a
little high scoring than we see. I think perty he's
certainly in play. I mean he's not Matt Patrick Mahomes,
but he's certainly in that next tier. And he's solid.
Speaker 3: Seven one three, two one two five seven. I Chris
for doctor Rodill. Go ahead, Chris, Yeah, thanks, doctor Rode.
Speaker 22: I just need to start one out of the three Tyrone, Tracy,
Xavier Worthy and Romeo Dubs.
Speaker 5: What you got for me?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm going to start Dobbs. So, look, the Packers
played very poorly. That came Monday night. Was tortured to watch,
and so you've got to think that the Packers are
going to try better up more offensively here, maybe throw
the ball, get out of their shell because they need to.
So look, the only healthy receivers they really have now
are Dobbs and maybe Christian Watson, but he came up
injured in practice the other day, so you got to
watch that. I think Worthy's a solid play, but Dobbs
a great play.
Speaker 5: All right. We go on to uh Paul by Rice
you on seven, I name him Paul.
Speaker 9: Hey.
Speaker 20: Guys a deep league here, tedor Rohan, McMillan or Jordan
Addison at receiver and tight end it's Caid or Harold Fannon.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so first of all, we're going to go McMillan
over Addison. I think there with McCarthy, there's a lot
of options he has to feed Justin Jefferson throws the
ball to Aaron Jones, he throws the ball to a
needs to throw the ball more to kJ Howkinson. Where McMillan,
you know, even though Atlanta will be guarding him, he
is the number one featured parket on Carolina.
Speaker 5: So we go there.
Speaker 9: I think you go with Kate Oughton without Chris Godwin. Again,
Kate Oughton has really stepped up. Now. Buffalo is okay
against tight ends, but if they fall behind, which they
probably will in this game, Baker always looks for oughten,
especially in the second half when he's trying to make
those comeback drives. Doesn't it always seem like Oughton for five,
Oughton for eight, Oughton for seven, and then he finishes
the game nine for eighty two, and you're like, kind
of the dude just put up seventeen Fantasy points.
Speaker 5: Thank you for that. Let's go to ed and Magnolia.
Ed you're ow with doctor Roto.
Speaker 21: Hey, dodgier Roto. It's Edward Magnolia. I done with you
last year to hear you're on again. I haven't called
yet this year, but anyway, I'm still in sconsin Magnolia.
It's nice out here. And I had just a couple
of couple of things. Number one, I just picked up
Purty because Stroud is out and and I get Nix. Okay,
who am I going with Purdy or NICKX?
Speaker 9: Yeah? I think you're gonna go Purty. It's just a
better game environment than that one at Okay. Also, I
have a couple of guys on from the Colts.
Speaker 13: I got.
Speaker 21: Pittman out and I got Warren out, and I need
to fill a flex spot. Is Jerry Judy worth the shot?
Speaker 9: I mean, who are your other choices?
Speaker 21: Right?
Speaker 9: So Judy's okay, but to me it's favor. Take a
look at a guy named Michael Wilson. Marvin Harrison Juniors
out this week with a he had his appendance appendix
taken out. Michael Wilson probably will get those targets and
in that game against forty nine ers, especially if you
have Purty, right, you want that game to kind of
shoot out, because if that game shoots out, it's better
for Purdy. So the better Wilson does, the better for
your quarterback. Let's do that. Okay, good luck, Thank.
Speaker 5: You very much. Let's go to Chase for doctor Rode Hi.
Speaker 8: Chase, Good morning shippers, Doctor Roto.
Speaker 7: Hello.
Speaker 8: First off, I wanted to start by saying my team
is two and eight, so this doesn't really matter. But
Jordan Addison or Deebo Samuels or David Montgomery and Woody Marks.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're gonna go Deebo Samuel for sure on that one.
You know that Miami doesn't play a ton of defense,
and Mario is gonna have to feature Deebo Samuel. Look,
David Montgomery's always in play, He's solid. I mean, it's
a tough match up with him. But you know, the
Lions are are a team that can score thirty. I
think people are under They're looking at that game with
the Eagles and going, oh man, the Eagles Packers. That
game stunk last week. But I think you have a
Lion's defense that is very suspect in the back. And
I told you I think a J. Brown has a
bigger week. I always want a piece of the lines
if I.
Speaker 5: Can have it, all right. Last one belongs to Josh
on Seminary.
Speaker 9: Hi, Josh, Hey, how's it going, guys?
Speaker 16: My question is Lamar or Dak Prescott?
Speaker 20: No, and Zay Flowers or Corland Sutton.
Speaker 5: Thank you, guys, thank you?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean good questions.
Speaker 19: Er.
Speaker 9: I think I'm gonna go Dak Prescott in Las Vegas.
I mean, look, Dallas is gonna put up a lot
of points, and I think that. I mean, Lamar is
a solid, solid play, but that game could be a
little ugly when I say, I'm talking about not as
many points. But so I'm gonna go Dak. I like
Zave Flowers a lot. Now, if you want to go
Lamar and Zay together, because between the two of them,
you think it's going to help you. I just don't
think Zay scores a lot of touchdowns, like when Lamar
is throwing, he throws to Mark Andrews or so they
go to Zay when they're losing the game. So that's
what we got to be careful of that. But I
think I'm going Dak and Zay all.
Speaker 3: Right, couple quick on Twitter full point PPR. I need
to pick two Calvin Austin, Jacoby Myers, Trey Tucker, Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 5: The Schultz by the way practicing today for the Texans.
Speaker 9: I think Calvin Austin, like when Ed was looking for
a sneaky guy, Calvin Austin is justice sneaky as Michael Wilson.
I'll go with him. And of course Trey Tucker against Dallas.
Speaker 5: Please get him in Brissett or Knicks for one quarterback.
Speaker 9: I think Brissette I a a tough matchup for Nicks
all right.
Speaker 3: And lastly, Wilson, McMillan or Troy Franklin win one wide
receivers position.
Speaker 9: I mean, he's got to be McMillan. He's their number
one and he always gets targets week in week out.
Speaker 5: Ladies, Gemon.
Speaker 3: Once a week we asked Doctor rohto to give us
the one hundred percent knockdown drag out. Gonna absolutely crush
it for us in fantasy football. We present to you
Doctor Rodo's lock of the week.
Speaker 9: What do you got?
Speaker 17: MT?
Speaker 9: I really love nobody talked about the Steelers Bengals game.
How come you know this is going to be a
high scoring game the Steelers are favored to put up
close to twenty eight points. That's four touchdowns. Are you
telling me Jalen Warren is not getting get that ball
at least once to.
Speaker 8: It in the end zone.
Speaker 9: I think he gets one hundred and twenty all purpose
yards and a touchdown. Let's lock Jalen Warren in.
Speaker 8: There it is.
Speaker 5: There's Doctor Roto's locky. We can you also lock in
Higgins for about ten catches?
Speaker 9: For what one?
Speaker 13: Three?
Speaker 5: Can you do that for me too?
Speaker 9: Could happen this week? I like it a lot. You
want everybody in that game. Get Austin, get Higgins, get
your Mark Chase, get Warren, get chased out everybody.
Speaker 3: And since Sindy Pittsburgh game, no one cares about except
about fantasy football geeks.

I've got two non Florida stories. One is from the
Philippines and one is from Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Speaker 5: Okay state.
Speaker 3: Well baby, we're gonna have non Flora stories for you
next Here one thirty one on Sports Talk seven ETI, we.
Speaker 15: Find interesting stories that sure outside.

Speaker 5: No alligator tales, but something that will make you smart.
Speaker 9: It's time for less from far and wad in this
crazy world. There's nowhere.
Speaker 3: All right this week, as is every Friday on the
show at one thirty, we decide to find you some
interesting stories.
Speaker 5: We want to pass under our audience. We call them
non Florida stories. Only one rule.
Speaker 3: You cannot pick anything that comes from the state of
Florida unless one or both members of the Matt Thomas
Show with Ross are in Florida.
Speaker 5: That happens during when we're in Orlando for.
Speaker 3: The Rockets or the heat for the Rockets, or we're
in spring training one of the two three scenarios in play.
Other than that, our stories must be from outside the
Sunshine State. Jonathan, I'll go first, and uh, We're gonna
go with a woman in the Philippines. Apparently, doctors in
the Philippines, Jonathan have documented a case of a woman
whose arm pits leak milk. Dermatologists, writing in the journal
job Case Reports, said the patient was born with extra
breast tissue on both sides of her under arms, which
swelled up after she delivered a baby and produced quote,
milky secretions from the overlying hair follicles. The condemn the
condition didn't bother her when she wasn't pregnant or breastfeeding.
And the good news is doctors saying only happens to
fewer than six percent of the women in the world,
so that's still quite a bit right, couldn't be a woman?
Oh my, could you imagine your arm peak of your
arm pits leaked milk? Oh, it's like one of those
nozzle machines you get when you go on the McDonald's.
You're like, if you want one of those cone really
mcflury and you pull out and you just squeeze your
arm and then on the milk comes out.
Speaker 5: Something wrong with you?
Speaker 3: So, uh, needless say women in the at least one
woman woman in the Philippines has leaky arm pits, and
it says doctor say it affects fewer than six percent
of women.
Speaker 5: That's still I think it's a large number. Yeah, that's
a good if.
Speaker 3: If you're a woman listening to show and you've en't
had milk come out of your arm pits, let us
know seven one three five seven and just tell Jonathan, yes,
my arm pits leak of milk. Seven one three two
one two five seven euty, all right, Jonathan, you're up next.
Speaker 5: All right, mine comes from Detroit.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 6: This is during a virtual hearing and the thirty sixth
District Court on October twenty seventh, Police officer Matthew Jackson
showed up to testify about a woman charged with drag
racing and this orderly conduct, but reported he forgot when
he was in a session, he forgot one important thing
about his uniform. Yeah, he wasn't wearing any pants. As
the judge was trying to hear him. The his camera
was faced down and the judge saw saw something and
goes and says, you got some pants on? Officer asked
Sean Perkins the judge, he said, no, sir, and moved
his camera up slightly so this bare legs would no
longer be seen.
Speaker 3: So basically he's on a zoom call. Yeah, and he's
wearing his proper uniform up top. Yeah, but it is
nothing below, meaning no underwear, no shorts, no pants, no nothing.
Speaker 6: Well, thankfully I've actually seen the video about this right
now too.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: The top of the like the butt, the end of
the button down like best covered his crotch area.
Speaker 5: But the office the judge was very confused and so yeah,
I mean, and the hearing continued and it was fine.
Speaker 6: The Detroit Police had to come out and apologize to
that they remind all the officers about proper etiquette and
dress codes or virtual healing.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this question. Do you think I've
ever been on a zoom call before? And I've never
worn I haven't worn pants one thousand percent. You're very
sure yourself on this. There's no way.
Speaker 5: You're right. I'll throw it back at you. Have you
ever been on a zoom call not warn pants?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 9: I was.
Speaker 5: I was in college peak. That's why I started.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you don't live life properly
until you've been on a zoom call and not wearing drawers.
But to mess it up on a virtual here, Yeah,
you're in a you're in a like now I'm doing
like interviews and stuff.
Speaker 6: I'm not Yeah, yourself right in the camera before it
starts up, like your camera.
Speaker 5: Yes, you can check your definitely check your camera.
Speaker 3: I don't know that that was interesting good stuff there,
So I'll beg the question, Uh, do those of you
that are take part in zoom wear pants?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna put a poll question up on this.
That's a good point. Yeah, all right, well he never
forget it. I'm gonna go to Hopkinsville, Kentucky. You've been
to Hopkinsville, Kentucky.
Speaker 6: Actually I have a homeboy as from Hopkinsville. I knew
from Wiskens and is he a little odd?
Speaker 3: He's a little country, but you know, Okay, Well, there
was a woman there in Hopkinsville, Kentucky that was expecting
a package of medicine that she had ordered.
Speaker 5: Now that happens quite a bit.
Speaker 3: You can order your pharmaceutical things or any medicines online
correct and have him sent to you. Well, when the
box came, she found something very different inside. Two human
arms and four fingers.
Speaker 5: Who, Matt, where are you finding these stores?
Speaker 3: The local television station reports that the woman died up
nine to one to one and the Christian County Corner's Office.
A member of that Corner's office, Scott Daniel, went to
the home and gathered up the unexpected parcel. And here's
the ending of the story. The body parts are being
dispatched to the correct recipient. I'm confused, That's what I'm saying.
Why would you just pick up what the woman got
and say, you know, we got to find out who
really needs these two arms and these four fingers and
get into the rightful loner.
Speaker 6: Well, can you I know, fingers, you can reattach them
if it's quick enough.
Speaker 3: No, you're not taking people's fingers that you'd send the
mail and retaching to your body.
Speaker 6: No, I'm not not there about it. I'm just saying,
like for them to look for somebody else, you know.
But at that point you can't even even.
Speaker 3: Save the limbs though, No you cannot, no, no, no, no,
so some Okay, First of all, who puts human arms
and four fingers into a box?
Speaker 5: Number that's number one, Number two who would want them?
And number three?
Speaker 3: This corner is picking up these arms and these fingers
and saying, oh wrong the dress. Let's find out who desert,
who needs them and wants them, and send them their
rightful owner.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean if the person's dead, I mean doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: You shouldn't be putting out arms and fingers out there.
Your Grandma Brown do for you? The Brown could not
send me them damn fingers and arms.
Speaker 19: Good.
Speaker 3: Seriously, you you are about to open up a box
and you think it's like either a cashmere sweater or
some prescriptions you were hoping to get from your pharmacy,
maybe some vitamins, maybe you were looking to uh get
a new computer. And you open up and these arms
and fingers come out.
Speaker 5: That's traumatic.
Speaker 3: Actually, I would be in therapy for a long period
of time. Anything else you gotta I got a short one,
please come from Ford.
Speaker 6: They reported on the Vember fifth that officers receiving calls
about a man walking all over campus headed toe in
peanut butter to toe put butter.
Speaker 5: Full peanut butter.
Speaker 6: When this is we're concerned for his safety and for
people's peanut and peanut butter butter allergies.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, all right, there's one more important question to
that as well. It was actually two questions. Was he
covered in smooth or crunching? It doesn't And number two
was there a woman out there was covered in jelly?
Speaker 19: No?
Speaker 5: Actually, something's wrong with you.
Speaker 3: How long would it take for you for the average
person to cover their entire body in peanut butter?
Speaker 6: You know, I don't think it would take that long.
People cover themselves in paint, like what thirty minutes?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Now, I have gone to events where women have
covered themselves in pudding.
Speaker 19: What?
Speaker 3: Yeah, putting wrestling? You've been to that, right, guys? I
have never you've never gone to a pudding. I don't
know what he's talking about.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you do.
Speaker 3: You you go to a bar and you watch these
girls in bikinis and you and they fill it up
with like vanilla or chocolate pudding and they wrestle in
it and the loser makes all of us winners. You've
never seen a woman completely doused in panilla and chocolate
or vanilla punting before you live in life?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 5: The first week I worked at seven hunety, we had
a pudding event here. It was at a bar.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't here, but yeah, they said, hey, come on
and listen. Watch the guy I think Adam wakes up.
Speaker 8: Was with us.
Speaker 5: And that's the thing for real.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've never been a putting wrestling though. Hey, somebody
