1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,599
Speaker 1: Ten on one man h Town. Good morning, and welcome

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,240
to a Tuesday edition of The Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,839
I'm Matt, He's Ross. Frankie is our producer today and

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,679
tomorrow he's not. We didn't get rid of Jonathan. I

5
00:00:14,679 --> 00:00:16,920
mean the thought has crossed probably Jonathan's mind, but he's

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,640
here for now, today and tomorrow. Correct, Yeah, today and tomorrow.

7
00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:24,359
So extended weekend for Jonathan much earned. I mean much

8
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:27,359
earned is a relative term, but that's fine. Uh So

9
00:00:27,399 --> 00:00:30,160
there will be some technical issues and we'll get past them.

10
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:32,759
Why he's worried he's running live shows. Yeah, but Doug

11
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:35,200
Pik or something he's not done believing or not. That's

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,679
gonna be utter trained. Well, I mean that's part of

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,240
being initiated here as iHeart. Yeah, that's great, right, So

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,159
if you hear things that don't sound professional like we

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,280
work in Tyler, you'll figure it out. Why it's gonna

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,159
be Frankie's fault. So Ross, how was her Labor day?

17
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:52,679
Labor Day was great, Labor Day weekend was good, had

18
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,200
a good time. I guess. Let's see Manchester City loss,

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,920
Texas Longhorns loss and the Astro split a four game

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,119
series with a terrible team. Sports wise, it wasn't great.

21
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,159
So last personally it was pretty good. Last Thursday, I uh,

22
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,239
we had got feelings while you were gone, and I

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,079
had the text and I had the Astras going six

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,680
and four in their homesteak because I was just like,

25
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,840
it's there's second tier teams, and I thought I felt

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,719
like I felt dirty saying it had three losses so

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,079
far in this homestand oh okay, it's still going. So

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,879
the Yankees are in town. There's three of the Yankees.

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,719
Now they can sit up in their chairs though, because

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,079
the Yankees are here, Well, it's it's what the Astros do.

31
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,319
They play against the upperational on teams and blank the

32
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,640
bet against the mids. Sometimes it's like you have beautiful

33
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,079
relations with that supermodel ten, and then that three and

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,480
four walks in and you don't know what to do

35
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:41,879
with her. I don't feel like that analogy works at all.

36
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,760
I think it's pretty good. Actually, Okay, I have a

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,280
friend of mine and I won't mention his name. Oh no,

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,640
are you doing movies again? No? No, just for three

39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,920
seconds into the now that we will definitely do that

40
00:01:54,959 --> 00:01:56,840
at some point. Sure, but it's almost more fun when

41
00:01:56,879 --> 00:01:59,400
we have Frankie. Yeah, how old is he? How old

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,120
are you, Frankie, Frankie, you look like you're in the

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,120
mid twenties. Twenty six, No, he looks like he's he

44
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:07,319
said twenty six. Would you say he looks like he's

45
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:10,599
in his what mid twenties? He said he was twenty six. Okay, No,

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560
he looks older, looks like he's this is the glasses.

47
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:17,319
He's a professor at a community. Yeah, exactly, he looks polished,

48
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,680
he looks he's ready to give you a tell you

49
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:22,400
to do a thousand professions tomorrow. Yeah, exactly. He's in

50
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,879
the wrong business. Yeah, he's gonna make some funny like

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,360
chemistry puns before he's his uh, his class. Yeah, and

52
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,199
he's got girls out of the ying gang coming to

53
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680
the house. There's it's like one on one after the other.

54
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:35,960
It's the chemistry professor. Oh yeah, there's no way. Oh

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,080
for sure. They need to get this passed. He's being

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,520
a predator. Let mean, he's teaching HCC chem one on one.

57
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:43,319
He's got to be able to work his way to

58
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:44,960
get so those girls can get into the Beard four

59
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,879
your institution. All right, anyway, can we get back to sport.

60
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:53,919
You started it. No, I'm finishing. Here we go u Oh,

61
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,919
I just shows the three games up in the Mariners. Oh,

62
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,319
they're up three on the Mariners. By the way, the

63
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,639
Mariners absolutely sucking the road. They guy are not by

64
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,039
the Rays last night. I don't get it. They have

65
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,479
How does everybody feeling How are the Mariners fans feeling

66
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:10,120
about the Mariners hitting coaches? Can I read you? And

67
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:12,960
Mike Is? I really don't want to to let I

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,199
put on Twitter. I don't need it. I've actually had enough.

69
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:20,479
It's too bad of hitting coach discourse. Well, friend of

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,199
the show, Mike, Mike always listens someone. God love you

71
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,879
Mike for listen. Wait a minute, is this the guy

72
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:27,280
that emails you a bunch of angry stuff? Correct? He

73
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,520
said he was done with the team. Yeah, you said

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,719
you were done, Mike, You're a liar. Stop sending matt

75
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,840
emails about the team. If you said you're done with it,

76
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,479
it's okay, it's it's part of the belt. No. No,

77
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:41,319
I'm sick of these people who whine and cry every

78
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,000
single day about the team because they have nothing else

79
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,439
better going on in their lives. Mike Is, I'm actually

80
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:49,840
tired of it. It's it's it's he has to understand.

81
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,400
And I said, he's I'm going to make fun of him,

82
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,719
and he it's only in a very loving way. He

83
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,919
sends me this email on Saturday. I did the I

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,360
worked Saturday and Monday. By the way, okay, deep breath,

85
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:01,800
just stay with me and with it. The subject line

86
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,759
of the email was garbage. Okay, here we go. He's

87
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,599
talking about waste management. Mike, this team is toast. He's

88
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:16,600
calling you, Mike. Correct, all right, Mike, stay with me

89
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,279
on this bullpennis text. Coaching staff is bla. Team morale

90
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:25,639
has vanished, the leadership conflict with corre adjoining pitchers, blaming

91
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,040
defensive and hitting, no strategic batting, only measuring Miles Prower

92
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:33,000
off the bat angles, et cetera. This season is finished

93
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:36,920
ranked near Lascen's all star, breaking all offensive stats. It's

94
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,800
time to regroup and change front office and team management.

95
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,800
We are at best three big league position players, deep

96
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,839
automatic seals for opponents. Managers asleep with his new glasses,

97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,120
no fire from him, and team is the same. Altuve

98
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,879
pouting on his own performance just a disastrous. Didn't even

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,199
argue there about being on a baseline sad, but the

100
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,800
end of the era has arrived. Signed Mike, Mike Good.

101
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,879
Listen to the show calls occasionally, don't watch just don't

102
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:06,959
watch the team bringing you down. And you're that negative

103
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:09,360
about a team that is three games up in first place,

104
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,120
don't watch the team seriously it certainly you should block him.

105
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,360
I need you to block him for me. It's an email.

106
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:19,800
He doesn't know. I think you can block email. I

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,079
guess you could. Yeah, that's our it's fine. No, it's

108
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:29,000
not fine, it's free. No, it's it's making me upset. Okay,

109
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,879
next time you read a mic email, I will leave

110
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,879
the room that teams fair because all that does is

111
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,439
all that negativity and that BS is just bringing me down. Yes,

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,079
the team is not where they were in twenty nineteen

113
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:47,680
when their lineup was like Correa, Altuve, Brantley, Uh Tucker,

114
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,360
you're on and whatever the hell else Springer, when they

115
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,360
had one of the deepest lineups in baseball, and they're

116
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,600
one of the best teams in baseball. They are not

117
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,839
the team that they were even three years ago when

118
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,079
they were World Series contenders. We need to readjust our

119
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,920
expectations and by the way, they're so horrible. They're in

120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,639
first place by three games. By the way, shout out

121
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:13,519
to the hitting coaches. They did whatever they told them

122
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,120
yesterday before the game. Beautiful abs, beautiful abs by Alex

123
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:20,439
Intron and Troyce Nicker in those clutch runners in scoring

124
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,439
position situations, six or fifteen. They had a tough week

125
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:27,399
after a good weekend in Baltimore, the hitting coaches put

126
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:35,439
together some great play appearances yesterday. You're doing this. I'm

127
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,000
doing this to poke Its hell, it's working, and I

128
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:44,160
got more. I'm falling for it. Oh my god. People. Now, look,

129
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,319
maybe Troy Nicker and Alex Intron are gonna be gone

130
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,160
at the end of the season. I don't know. I

131
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:51,480
don't really care. Guess what, when they hire new hitting coaches,

132
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:54,120
if the if and when that ever happens, I'm gonna

133
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,199
say the same thing. The hitters need to do their

134
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,199
job and that's that. Oh yeah, they've have had a

135
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,160
big slip in production this year. Yeah, East Hik Praatis

136
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,720
is one of their best hitters. He's been gone for

137
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:11,839
months now. You had Jordan Alvarez has played like thirty

138
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,680
some odd games since he's come back, all of a sudden,

139
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,519
he's drawn a bunch of walks, hitting home runs. He

140
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,000
looks pretty good. Looks like that guy is all right.

141
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:21,360
And then it's been a mixed bag of like you've

142
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:24,439
had Cooper Hummel and Mauricio Dubaughn and Taylor Tremmel and

143
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,160
a bunch of jay Yeah, they didn't turn Jacob Melton

144
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:32,639
into Ted Williams. Oh he's hitting coaches, We got to

145
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,480
fire him. Jose Al two. They had three runs batted

146
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,240
in yesterday with a big home run at the end.

147
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,920
Let's get all the credit to the hitting coaches. Christian

148
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,959
Walker's been better, Carls Kray has been hitting good in

149
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,160
a Nastro's uniform. Jeremy Ping is having a breakout season.

150
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:54,439
By the way, Oh well, hitting coaches are the worst

151
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:57,399
on the planet because production is down, because everybody's been

152
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,480
hurt in the lineups just not as lengthy as it

153
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,959
used to be. You relate to this to me, Yes,

154
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,600
I is why we start the week. It's fine. I

155
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,240
haven't even drink on my coffee. Know I'm gonna take

156
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,040
a pause. I'm gonna sip from my coffee. I'm not

157
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:12,639
gonna pause because I want to get into a deep

158
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,759
dive of Texas Ohio State from the weekend. I've come

159
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:19,319
with a deep dive here. The assessment is there. You

160
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,519
want to break down all the fifteen touchdowns scored in

161
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,199
that game? Who told you to take the under? You

162
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,759
told me to take you under? Thank you very much.

163
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,759
You know what. I oversold my stuff on Arch, even

164
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,240
though I told myself all off season not to buy

165
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:32,799
into the hype. Can I tell you? And this is

166
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:36,679
the God's honest truth? Uh huh. I would not schedule

167
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,279
these week one Juggernauts. No, they shouldn't do it in

168
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:41,559
a week one. I've been saying that all off season. Two,

169
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,440
I'm sure you can't wait till Week two. You have

170
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,600
to have I don't care if it's a new quarterback.

171
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:50,840
Here's the reason why. For the foreseeable future, as long

172
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:54,000
as the transfer portal and nil and moving guys around

173
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,120
year to year to year continue to take place. And

174
00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:57,519
I don't know if there'd be any sign of that

175
00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:01,759
changing ever. You've got too many new faces and too

176
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:06,639
many new schemes and new money, two quarterbacks, restrictions on practices.

177
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,759
They're not doing spring games now. I would ultimately, I

178
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,879
like I'd like to see two things. I'd like for

179
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:16,279
all skills, especially the Juggernauts, to schedule down. I know

180
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,559
that doesn't make you feel any better, but Texas arch

181
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:21,639
play in San Jose State would be much better for

182
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,039
him on this past weekend than playing Ohio State in

183
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,799
the shoe in the shoe. Yeah, you could play in

184
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:28,799
the shoe with San Jose State and be just fine. Yeah,

185
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,799
it's part of it. I would also, and I was

186
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:34,240
gonna say this for to tell the truth, but I'm

187
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,639
gonna move it on. I would also if I was

188
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,759
college football, I would schedule a preseason game. And I

189
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:42,559
don't know, if you do it again, you could play

190
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,519
an I mean do something. Charge five dollars a ticket

191
00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:49,840
and give it to the give it to the kids

192
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:52,639
for help your nil play. Then they called it the

193
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,279
spring game. Then they got rid of those. But I mean,

194
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:58,879
I just thought, because I think Texas is a really

195
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,279
good football team, they are, They're gonna be just fine,

196
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,000
just like I think Alabama. Well, I don't know bout Alabama.

197
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,120
That was a bad, bad loss. I'm trying to think

198
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,799
Notre Dame is gonna be just fine. But there is

199
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:14,639
too minutes, there's too much full optimism in college sports

200
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,279
after a week one week one victory, and there's too

201
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,080
much woe is me after a week one loss. And

202
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,159
if I'm an ad, as much as this intrigues me,

203
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:25,639
I mean as much as the hoopla of Texas, Ohio

204
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,759
State had us going this weekend, You had LSU Clemson,

205
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,320
you had Notre Dame Miami, which was a great football

206
00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:34,039
game TCU North Carolina was supposed to be but it

207
00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:37,679
didn't turn out that way yesterday. Or Bill, I'm telling you,

208
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,919
if I'm an ad, if I'm a football coach, I

209
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,360
want a lightweight. Give me utep every damn day you can.

210
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,399
Now here's the thing about it too that makes me sad.

211
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:49,600
If you're a lightweight, you're gonna get called out being

212
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:53,240
a lightweight. I mean what show I was watching, but

213
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:55,840
they were talking about you know what, Thank God, text

214
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,399
is a chance to get really you know, back on

215
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,320
their feet after playing Cupcake Sam Houston State, Cupcake, Utip Cupcake.

216
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,440
Who you guys, I got next? If I went to

217
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:10,960
those schools, Huh, that's embarrassing you role, So you do

218
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,840
have to know your role. Sorry, bear Cats, And remember

219
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:17,399
you're taking a check to be called the cupcake exactly.

220
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,799
So I'm not gonna feel too sorry for.

221
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,279
Speaker 2: You to win.

222
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Win, and you can win the game and pull but

223
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,519
I feel State, But I am not bad about that.

224
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000
I do feel bad because I don't want any more

225
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,840
if there are a lot of great institutions higher education

226
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,519
that shouldn't be called cupcake. It's about the football program,

227
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,279
and I think people understand that, but it still doesn't

228
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,240
mean that you feel bad about it. Well, those guys

229
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:40,639
probably don't. State was catching stray. It's all during game

230
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,320
day on Saturday. I think hermstream mentioned McNee State twice

231
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,840
at the same paragraph. I even know, Well, isn't it

232
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,320
just was he saying State or was he saying McNeese?

233
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:52,879
He was saying McNee state, which everybody calls people McNeice

234
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,639
call me. Why do they hate that? Now? Who knows?

235
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,200
It's like Louisian Louisan Alafia calls himself Louisiana. Sorry Louisiana,

236
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,559
you're louisianaa fia your ooh la lat and you'll never

237
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,919
change and take that paycheck and get your ass kicked.

238
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,679
You and Rice went there to beat We beat them

239
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,840
this weekend. Really, yeah, Oh, you don't want to get

240
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:13,000
beat by Rice. I'm such a nerd showing up kicking

241
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:17,120
your ass. You get Frankie the producing a teaching in

242
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,080
chemistry one on one at Rice. Yes he is. Yeah,

243
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,600
he's got a lot of camera. He does a lot

244
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,919
of teaching. Is he in the Robert C McNair building

245
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,600
that roberts c probably never went in. Bob may have, well,

246
00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,919
I mean cal may have it got callin NBA from there.

247
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:32,639
I don't know if he ever went to the building. True.

248
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,679
All right, Astros win raised, beat the Mariners three game lead.

249
00:12:36,759 --> 00:12:38,679
We'll get to that. We've got Joe a spot at

250
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,960
twelve thirty. We got gout feelings before that at eleven thirty.

251
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:43,559
We have NFL rewind at one twenty this afternoon. We've

252
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,120
got to believe it or not. We've got college football.

253
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,519
A lot of little things. And oh, by the way,

254
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,639
the Texans depth chart is out excellent. We'll talk about

255
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:53,799
that a deep dive. Well, at least, I mean we

256
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,200
talk about it. We'll get to it. For me, football football,

257
00:12:57,279 --> 00:12:59,720
we should talk a little bit about it. Yeah, we're

258
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,039
going to Okay, even in Angers eighty percent of our audience,

259
00:13:02,039 --> 00:13:03,840
we're still going to talk about Angers. Eighty percent of them.

260
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:06,159
It doesn't please them, angus fifty percent of these hosts.

261
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,240
Who's that? I don't care because guess what the l

262
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:15,039
a Rams baby? What Mike was? Texans? That did the

263
00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:18,679
Houston Texas baby might win in Los Angeles? What's the line?

264
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,440
I didn't even look two and a half. I think

265
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,519
alf Rams? Yeah, Magic just Affrican move. Apparently is his

266
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:28,159
back Okay, I don't know. Is gonna be wearing to

267
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,759
backbrace the whole game? He met doctor injection and Phil

268
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:34,960
is just fine? Apparently. How were gonna see Remy Rorapparo?

269
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,679
Got it? The Texans is a Remy aroppolo. That would

270
00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:40,360
be great. I took the under in that one, by

271
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,080
the way, too. Oh totals forty three and a half

272
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:47,919
under ten to fourteen Sports Talk seven euty All right, Uh,

273
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,279
what a weekend for college football? What a weekend for

274
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,279
the Astros in both good and bad ways. Again, the

275
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:58,480
Astros did not look great. They struggled offensively, and they

276
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,519
scored eight runs yesterday and the Mariners lost again on

277
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,399
the road. I got news for your ross. If the

278
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:04,919
Mariners just don't want to one on the road. This

279
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,320
mid Astros team is playing under five hundred last two months.

280
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,039
Maybe good enough anyway. Yeah, maybe the Rangers of the

281
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,279
team we should be scared about, because right now the

282
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,080
Mariners can't win away from Seattle Washington. Those Rangers not

283
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,919
going away. They are not just pesky. Rangers won six

284
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,679
in a row four and a half back. The Astros

285
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:27,559
either will be good enough to win the division and

286
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,440
make them hang in the playoffs, or they won't be.

287
00:14:29,679 --> 00:14:32,639
We'll see, nobody's gonna die over it. We don't need

288
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,759
to send five hundred word negative emails to everybody about it.

289
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,679
That's what I've been getting. I listened to Gordy on Sunday.

290
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,919
There was a is are the players laying down for

291
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:45,120
a spot? Like to get him fired? That was interesting

292
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,679
to me. That is one of the dumbest things I

293
00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:53,639
think I've ever heard. Yeah, what else was that I

294
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,679
did hear? That was awful? That other day. I've been

295
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,919
turning to write them down. Now, see, I need you

296
00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:03,360
to not write these down. I actually tweeted about it.

297
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,879
Let me see what it is, because look, when it's

298
00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:09,360
like yesterday, we had a good conversation on the time,

299
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,000
I had one call in ten things. It was good,

300
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,399
was all right, nice, I mean that was bat No,

301
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
I actually thought about it. You were basically talking about

302
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:20,320
how great the how great the hitting coaches did yesterday. No, no, no,

303
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,480
they had a banner day. I mean six or fifteen

304
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:24,600
r as the scoring position. That's a four hundred average

305
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,000
for those who plan at home. The caller also criticized

306
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,399
the announcer Mark Ford for not being a big enough homer.

307
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,200
Robert's a big enough homer. He does just fine proper home. Right.

308
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,480
His name was Mark. No, you're on Mike. No, I'm Mike,

309
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,320
He's Mark. It's very confusing. It is what it is,

310
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,080
all right. Seven one three two one two five seven

311
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:48,399
seven one three two one two five sevent I don't

312
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:49,919
think we're gonna get into a deep dive of TCU

313
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,559
North Carolina football, but I can we can talk about

314
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,799
it on a macro side of things. Okay, So ESPN

315
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,639
makes the Labor Day game about him. There's endless interviews

316
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,399
were you know, Bill Belichick does not get out of

317
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,480
his shell. He's got the cutoff shirt again, he's got

318
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:09,120
the twenty five year old hussy. Uh you know why

319
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,120
is she a hussy? Because she is? You're danning somebody

320
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,519
fifty years older than You're a hussy. Seriously, I might say,

321
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,960
what the old hussey? Let me look at the dictionary

322
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:20,720
for hussey. Let me call her a horror? Is that

323
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:22,279
what you want instead o whore?

324
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: Well?

325
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,679
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, that's turning it up a notch. Okay,

326
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:28,799
I'm gonna go drop it down to hussy a girl

327
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:32,000
or woman who behaves in a disrespectful or inappropriate way,

328
00:16:32,039 --> 00:16:40,240
who has many casual sexual relationships. Okay, hey, what do

329
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,879
you say? Yeah, hussand down on main Street's shot in Hudson.

330
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:47,360
Where do you go to find dudes and women fifty

331
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,960
years older than you? They're on a plane next to

332
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,480
each other. Yeah, that's what that's the story. Weird story.

333
00:16:54,879 --> 00:16:58,360
That's exactly right. I didn't buy her on an escort page.

334
00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:04,319
It wasn't a high and escort. Matt see hussy, We

335
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,480
fell in love hooker with a heart of gold. Haven't

336
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,279
you seen pretty woman?

337
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:08,599
Speaker 4: No?

338
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh you haven't. No, of course I do? You actually

339
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:11,640
have not?

340
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 5: Have you not? No?

341
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: I've seen like half you know on TV, but I

342
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,559
haven't seen sat down and watched the whole thing. Okay,

343
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,039
that's the gist of it. Richard Gear falls in love

344
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:23,240
with the hooker the end. Yeah, that's pretty much just

345
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,000
I was gonna say, I was gonna ask you quick

346
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,440
questions about it, but you pretty much know that they're

347
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,319
and five Stars. We stay at their hotel where they stayed.

348
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,960
Oh really, yeah, I can say it's it's the Beverly

349
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,720
whol Chair. That's the aka Hotel of Pretty Woman. Oh really? Yeah?

350
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:45,519
Do they have like they can you sleep on the

351
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:47,319
bed where they got it?

352
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 4: What?

353
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 5: No?

354
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: I mean I guess you could, but that was also

355
00:17:50,039 --> 00:17:52,440
almost forty years I imagine they cleaned and changed sheets,

356
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,200
I would think, so, I mean that's gone down and

357
00:17:56,279 --> 00:17:58,279
basically every hotel room you've ever laid in in your

358
00:17:58,319 --> 00:18:02,319
life just saying smites too and all that kind of stuff. Gross,

359
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,160
I know the hotels I stay at the fan the

360
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,519
five Stars. Oh it's even worse. Are you sure you

361
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,599
were telling me celebrity escorts? Oh that's even one. That

362
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,119
means there's like six women on the bed at once.

363
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,640
All right, So college football this is your fault again.

364
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,960
You're talking about hussies. So North, how much did you

365
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,079
see much of the game yesterday? I it was on

366
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:31,200
while I was doing two fantasy drafts, so I was

367
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:34,000
not really super invested in. But every time I looked up,

368
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,319
TCU was getting like a seventy five yard touchdown. So TCU.

369
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,519
So North Carolina scores on their opening drive, and I mean,

370
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,960
in very very quick fashion, they have this transfer quarterback

371
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,720
at South Alabama. Major apple White was his coach. Shout

372
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:49,880
out to Major, a friend of the show, and uh,

373
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,319
they are up seven to nothing, and I mean that.

374
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,680
I think it's called Kazar Stadiums were North calnt I've

375
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,279
done a game there before. Those people are going, we're

376
00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:02,039
losing their minds. And then the rest of the game

377
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,599
took place, oh man, and every time they would show

378
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:11,720
a picture a video of a shot of Belichick, he

379
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,279
was like a deer in headlines. He didn't know what

380
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:15,200
was he even speaking into the headset?

381
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:15,799
Speaker 2: Was he was?

382
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:18,319
Speaker 1: It turned on that? I mean, was there anybody? Was

383
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,359
there anybody making any sort of rect And then poor

384
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,119
Belichick's son, Steve was feeling the heat of this too,

385
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,160
because he's probably the one that's the most alert of

386
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,440
the two guys in the left. I mean, you know, yeah,

387
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,160
the memes of him were pretty good. And then Max

388
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:32,799
Johnson comes in and backs up after the starting quarterback

389
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,000
gets hurt. Yes, it's a former Texas A and and Maggie.

390
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:37,400
And you know, I did not realize. What didn't you

391
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,319
realize his dad was Brad is Brad Johnson. Yeah, I

392
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,480
didn't know that. You also didn't realize he's the same

393
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:52,960
age as Belichick's girlfriend twenty four correct, Yes, so he's

394
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:55,200
not a hussy. He's just a regular old twenty four

395
00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:57,160
year old. I don't know he's been horn around programmed

396
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,079
to program. Yeah, you're twenty four, still in college. I

397
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,720
mean I was in twenty four and so on college,

398
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,119
but at least I was working. He's trying to be

399
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,480
bros a eighteen year olds l s U, A and

400
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,160
M and North Carolina two seasons apiece. God blessed portal

401
00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:18,640
and uh COVID and injuries all that helped out. Yeah,

402
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,000
he was supposed to save LSU, then he was supposed

403
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,319
to save A and M, and now he's supposed to

404
00:20:22,319 --> 00:20:26,440
save North Carolina. Well, I mean, I'm sure dad did

405
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,880
okay financially, so he didn't to worry about necessarily. I

406
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,720
just get a degree from something. North Carolina is a

407
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:33,920
decent they're all credit schools, I mean academic academics. Mea

408
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:37,200
LSU's not. But everything the two are are very good. Yeah, exactly.

409
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:41,039
LSU they have like shoe weaving. Yeah. I believe what

410
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,680
they call LSU is open enrollment. If the kids would

411
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,720
say it properly. Cajun spices three oh one. That's the expert. Yeah,

412
00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:53,119
that's the expert. Make a Masterst. Cayenne. And now I

413
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:58,559
went to Paprika. Now all right, sorry, sorry Gordy, Sorry,

414
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:00,720
anybody that's in Phillia with ill shoot. But you guys

415
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:02,920
know you're it's you know, t have brains to go there.

416
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,039
I mean, let's be brutally honest. Uh okay, So where're

417
00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:08,920
we going with this? I don't know. So they just

418
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,400
got their ask kick for. There was no other game

419
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,519
to put on. There was no like regional broadcast, there

420
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:16,359
was no other We're bearing this game on ESPN Oho.

421
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,440
That was on ESPN Labor Day night. Everybody's getting trying

422
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,640
to get settled back into bed because schools in the

423
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,200
North are starting up today. People are going back to

424
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,319
work after a long weekend. You put the game on

425
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:30,359
and you just watch it. Get from bad doors. But

426
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,119
I thought it was quite entertaining. Well, the question is

427
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,359
was was the hype was significantly higher than what was

428
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:40,319
the talents that's there at this point, and I have

429
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,599
him muted, but it still ended up on my timeline.

430
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,440
Skip Bayless like early in the game, was talking about

431
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,680
how they had a championship level, like a national championship

432
00:21:48,759 --> 00:21:52,240
level offense North Carolina. Yeah. Well it's funny because I

433
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:54,319
one of my very good friends is in North Carolina

434
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,920
grad lives in the Charlotte area, and I was He

435
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,160
and I were texting the first quarter and then the

436
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,240
game took place after that, and I was like, I'm

437
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,279
going to leave them alone. By the way, shout out

438
00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:05,200
to me for saying sorry not sending you this hard

439
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,400

441
00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:14,319
you know what, It's showing a softer side of me

442
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,799
than in a while.

443
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 6: Now.

444
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: If you lose, if you lose the next three games,

445
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:19,519
then I'm gonna have any of the next three is

446
00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:22,559
fair game, I guess. But that won't happen. And then

447
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,319
Florida played who they played some sloppy UH Texas plays

448
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:30,240
at Florida after that, So yeah, schedule's tough. I don't

449
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,640
know if they'll be in the latest rankings, but they

450
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,599

you can only go one minute? Huh, that's all gonna go?

492
00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:36,920
One minute? All right, he says marathon to me. I

493
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,359
don't think I think I've said that too many times. Words.

494
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,920
You can only go a minute at a time, that's fine,

495
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,720
what's wrong with that? Yeah? Is there time to cuddle

496
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,519
after or no? No, that's included. Oh is it okay?

497
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,079
Very good? Start the clock. This is one minute Ross

498
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,319
talking about his beloved Longhorns. And let's face it again,

499
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,920
I would rather play San Jose State, Sam Houston State,

500
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:01,000
or Central or whatever the hell you're playing in the

501
00:25:01,079 --> 00:25:03,480
next few weeks to get fat and happy before the

502
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:08,400
start of playing real competition. All right, man, Yeah, obviously

503
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,400
it was a big game of the shoe over the weekend,

504
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,599
and it was going to be a defensive battle. I

505
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,680
was very foolish of me to think they wasn't going

506
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:18,480
to go anywhere close to over I thought arch Manning

507
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,160
would play a little bit better. He was certainly off

508
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:24,119
target early on, especially on a couple of short area

509
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,480
throws where it seemed like Sark was maybe trying to

510
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,599
get him in a rhythm and he just wasn't very

511
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,359
good there. Then he made some good throws later in

512
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,960
the game. The run game was good. They outperformed Ohio

513
00:25:36,079 --> 00:25:38,240
State in terms of yards game, I think it was

514
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:41,000
like three thirty to two hundred and three. I'll pull

515
00:25:41,039 --> 00:25:42,920
it up three thirty six to two hundred and three.

516
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,839
Couldn't get it done in the red zone. You got

517
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,920
physicaled upfront. Sark did play it close to the vest

518
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,920
with the play calling and try to rely on the defense,

519
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,640
which he's done a lot in a lot of big games.

520
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,720
So the criticism that he's a little bit too conservative

521
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:56,519
in these big games, I think is valid. But also

522
00:25:56,599 --> 00:25:58,359
when you have one of the best defenses of the country,

523
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:00,720
it makes sense to kind of try to rely on that.

524
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,079
So I would like to see arch Manning turn it

525
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,799
loose a little bit more. But he was having some

526
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,799
trouble processing the defense of Matt Patricia and could have

527
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:11,279
been better. Att Patricia. Wow, what a star now, I

528
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,720
mean he was always a good NFL coordinator whos allows

529
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:16,200
the head coach? But boy, these and by the way,

530
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,839
another one for you, how about Gus malzan Is a

531
00:26:20,839 --> 00:26:23,039
new OC at Florida State. He got his flowers this

532
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:24,279
weekend too, Yes he did.

533
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:24,559
Speaker 7: You know.

534
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: The reality is this, you can get really really good

535
00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:31,720
coordinators because you're paying these coordinators multi millions of dollars.

536
00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:33,920
You can be good right away quick. And you know

537
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,960
what also helps coordinators having a bunch of five star

538
00:26:37,079 --> 00:26:39,680
athletes all over the field. So, hey, Matt, you could

539
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,519
design a good defense with Ohio State players. That's true.

540
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:45,599
So I have a few more assumption no assumptions assertions

541
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,799
after watching the college football this weekend. Okay, you can

542
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,920
be lousing in twenty twenty five and be really good

543
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,240
the next season or twenty four. I mean, the opportunity

544
00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:59,519
for you to be really good on a fast turnaround

545
00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:02,720
is incredible because of the portal and because of nil

546
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,440
and because of the twenty million dollars these schools can

547
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,640
now spend on these programs, in these athletes. The chances

548
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,640
of you being a long down trotten program, especially if

549
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,640
you're considered one and to have success in the past.

550
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:16,559
If you're bad for five or six years, you're just

551
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960
not doing it right. I mean, I'm not saying Florist

552
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,240
State's going to go all the single from two to

553
00:27:20,319 --> 00:27:23,240
ten to ten to two. But you beat Alabama and

554
00:27:23,319 --> 00:27:25,680
now granted Alabama's five and five in their last ten games,

555
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,119
but still Alabama, you won your home field, and you

556
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:31,519
had massive changes all over the place and you won

557
00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:34,880
that football game. Yeah, it's but it's to a level

558
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,279
I mean, but there's also there's ten or you know,

559
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,920
we went through a list whatever it is, ten, twelve,

560
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,000
fifteen programs who all think they should be winning the

561
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,359
national champion Their fan bases think they should be winning

562
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,079
the National champions ESPEC, especially when those team bases are

563
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,000
asked to supply more money for these kids. The pressure

564
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:53,680
on these programs, especially from your high end donors. I'll

565
00:27:53,759 --> 00:27:56,799
use Texas Tech as an example. How the world does

566
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:59,079
Cody Campus like, I think that's a guy's name that's

567
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,559
a big nil boost for them. He goes to all

568
00:28:01,599 --> 00:28:02,720
of his buddies and say, Hey, I need you to

569
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:04,599
kick in a million dollars. If Texta Tech goes eight

570
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,720
and five or eight and four again this year during

571
00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:08,799
the regular season, they'd be like, I give you all

572
00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:13,039
this money for what The pressure, especially for schools that

573
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,480
do have money, is going to be intensified, which is

574
00:28:16,519 --> 00:28:18,279
you know what, That's what college athletics is all about.

575
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 7: Now.

576
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: Pressure. There's no more for the love of the game. Although,

577
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:25,599
as I say that, just sitting around flipping the channel Saturday, Sunday, Monday,

578
00:28:25,759 --> 00:28:28,119
it is fun. I didn't worry about it. I bet

579
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,559
exactly nobody thinks about NIL on Sunday people. It's ruining

580
00:28:31,759 --> 00:28:34,559
the sports. Stadiums are full, ratings are good. It's not

581
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,880
ruining the sport. No, it's not ruining it. But it's

582
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,640
putting pressure on some people. Cale Debor took Washington to

583
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,960
the National Championship game, they're already talking about replacements for

584
00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:46,039
him after one game. Yeah, he's got like a sixty

585
00:28:46,079 --> 00:28:48,559
million dollars buyout or something like that. By the way,

586
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,680
I saw this, and I wish I would have saved it.

587
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:57,559
Apparently there's not trouble. But apparently there is a lack

588
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,759
of nf NIL funding at Alabama that other schools in

589
00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:04,359
the SEC are not having to worry about it. That

590
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:10,359
kind of makes sense, right, Alabama, middle of nowhere, Well,

591
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,160
it takes is one big booster. I mean, that's largs

592
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,920
in the middle of nowhere. And that guy Cody Campbell's

593
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,519
right and checks left and right. Yeah, what Organs on

594
00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:21,799
ILB without Phil Knight without Phil Knight. Yeah, but you're

595
00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:26,160
talking about like multi billionaires. But I don't know. You

596
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,119
didn't have to wear shoes at Alabama in class, so

597
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:30,920
I don't know if there's a bunch of billionaires coming

598
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:36,640
out of there. I'm just saying another assessment I made. Okay,

599
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:41,200
Notre Dame Miami on Sunday night. Miami spent a lot

600
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,960
of money too. Miami spends a lot of money. Miami

601
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,640
also to full Stadium. Miami is a private school that

602
00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:54,079
has a distinguished football history, a distinguished academia, and it's

603
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:57,319
a very It's the most difficult school to get in

604
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,200
in the state of Florida. It's way harder get into

605
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,200
Miami than it is a getting Florida state, way harder

606
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,799
to getting into Florida, Central Florida, Central Florida. Like they're

607
00:30:05,799 --> 00:30:09,200
inviting you in, come on, I mean they're they're basically

608
00:30:09,319 --> 00:30:15,039
the I mean they're they're the I mean, we're gonna say,

609
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:17,720
I know what you're gonna say. No, No, I was

610
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:19,480
gonna say I was gonna take a SFA jab but

611
00:30:19,519 --> 00:30:21,839
there's no reason to do that. Yeah, it'd be rude.

612
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:27,720
There's Tennam was full. They Miami has something and now again,

613
00:30:27,839 --> 00:30:31,480
remember it's been dormant for a while there. But when

614
00:30:31,599 --> 00:30:35,319
they're good, their city rallies around the University of Miami.

615
00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:39,000
Mm hmm. And my question is, and I know the

616
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:40,559
answer this, so I'm gonna go and let you have

617
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,559
this is this is a little saltball for you. Okay,

618
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,279
why can't Houston have that with Houstonians? Tell me the truth.

619
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,160
If we all of a sudden, regularly based regular on

620
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,400
the regular basis won nine ten games, why has to

621
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:59,640
start with a history? Okay, that seems that's fair obvious.

622
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,160
But Mia Amy, did they start winning in the eighties? Yeah?

623
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,440
But did you see the crowd yesterday. I thought it

624
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:08,240
was going to be on Sunday. I thought it was

625
00:31:08,279 --> 00:31:11,000
going to be heavily Notre Dame influenced. It looked like

626
00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:13,440
ninety percent of the stadium and that's an NFL stadium

627
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,799
was wearing orange. One of the things you can sell

628
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,640
recruits on. First of all, everybody's paying now then Miami's

629
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,359
paying a lot of money. They're getting a ton of

630
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,680
money as far as transfer, both transfer portal and for recruits.

631
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:28,559
So first of all, you need a bunch of people

632
00:31:28,599 --> 00:31:30,599
to put a bunch of money in, but a reason

633
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,720
to get a bunch of people U of H. Like,

634
00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:36,519
there's a lot of rich people who are invested in

635
00:31:36,839 --> 00:31:40,759
U of H football, But you invest more when there's

636
00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:45,720
a history. I suppose when it matters more. Does that

637
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:49,400
make sense? Well, okay, as a legendary program, it feels

638
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,519
like a more alums and more likely to pour more

639
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:53,519
money in there. But they don't have the alums though.

640
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,680
Miami is a quarter as big as University of Houston.

641
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,720
What's the enrow? Is it have to look but high?

642
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,039
I want to say it's about ten thousand. Maybe I'm

643
00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:05,079
wrong about that, but it's a very difficult school to

644
00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:07,880
get into. Yeah it is. Well that's another thing too,

645
00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:11,000
Maybe they end up producing a lot more rich people.

646
00:32:11,039 --> 00:32:13,160
I don't know that's true, but if that was the case,

647
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,400
what that says? Nineteen thousand Miami. That's actually large, larger

648
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,759
than I thought it was me But compared to Florida

649
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:21,799
and Florida State, that pales of comparison to those schools.

650
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,240
You have this Florida, it's huge. You have a recruit

651
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,680
you have a fertile recruiting base. Maybe there's less competition

652
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:30,799
than for you of h I mean because they're already

653
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,559
behind in history and money from Texas and A and

654
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,200
M in Oklahoma. You have to put in the mix. LSU,

655
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:41,680
you have to put in the mix and what's at

656
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,440
Florida Florida State, and then Miami would be that's the

657
00:32:44,599 --> 00:32:48,920
that's the big Florida. Yeah, I'll just say this. I

658
00:32:49,079 --> 00:32:51,400
was jealous. Well, you know, at the end of the day,

659
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,440
cut the check, many let's go. But that wasn't cutting

660
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,279
the check. You can't even cut a check. But if

661
00:32:56,319 --> 00:32:58,160
you can't cut a check to get fifty thousand people

662
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,599
in the stadium, but it's not even only the billionaires,

663
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,720
it's you get that much more from say the regular

664
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,640
U of h alum who's who is a grad can

665
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,680
donate five hundred dollars. Maybe if the if the program

666
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:11,440
had a rich history and they really wanted to be

667
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:14,519
good and you wanted to make your Longhorn or Aggie

668
00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:18,559
buddies mad, maybe bumping up to seven fifty. I mean proximity.

669
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,279
You think proximity to U. T and A and m

670
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,920
hurts the University of Houston, because thinking about Miami hurt Florida.

671
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,079
He is in the very north part of the state.

672
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,680
Florida State's in the north part of the state. Uh huh,

673
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:31,839
I mean Miami's in South. Miami's in the deepest south

674
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:36,480
part of the state. You just you just don't have

675
00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:38,640
the history. I don't have to tell you. Well, there's

676
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,920
no question Miami football has a distinguish. Now, some of

677
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,000
it's not good. I mean, criminals versus convicts was brought

678
00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:46,720
up a many many times. I mean, but mostly you

679
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:49,240
say that you people know what that is. Yeah, I

680
00:33:49,279 --> 00:33:51,039
get it. There's some prestige there. I get it. Ten

681
00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:53,119
forty five. It's some Matt and Ross with you here

682
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:56,440
on the program We have Gut Feelings at eleven thirty.

683
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,079
Today Joe spotted with us at twelve thirty here on

684
00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:01,200
these air waves what we call sports Talk seven ninety

685
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,480
seven one three two one two five seven nine zero

686
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,000
Old John in League City on the Matt Thomas Show

687
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,440
at Ross at ten fifty two, John, good morning, Yeah,

688
00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:12,639
good morning's one of the guys. Hi, we're good.

689
00:34:14,039 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: Oh, So you know talking about we talked about this

690
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:19,519
before with the Cougar's attendants. You know, we got all too.

691
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,679
You know, they were four and eight last year, you know,

692
00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:24,239
and you get thirty thousand out there. I guess I

693
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,760
was about what I'm gonna do we're out there. I mean,

694
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,079
the skin it section. I think from what I understand,

695
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:32,679
they they pull them their loaded, right. So it's like

696
00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:35,360
it's like these fans I see on the internet all

697
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,480
the time. It's like, sep We're complaining about oh the girlage,

698
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,320
you know, the parking and every all of a sudden stuff.

699
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,039
It sounds like it's always something with super football fans.

700
00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:46,079
Speaker 1: You know, you know what it is, John, we did.

701
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,440
We just aren't great fans. I mean, that's just the

702
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:49,559
reality of it. We're just not.

703
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: I mean, we've got the probably the best basketball program

704
00:34:55,039 --> 00:34:55,599
in the country.

705
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we let me.

706
00:34:57,079 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: We fell into it. And thank god, we have this

707
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,800
game which.

708
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: We don't fill up. We don't fill up that game

709
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,199
arena either. We we have a difficult time filling I

710
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,039
mean the seats are sold, but they're not sitting in

711
00:35:08,119 --> 00:35:10,159
those seats. I mean, go watch a game. There are

712
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,679
empties all over the place. We as a University of

713
00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:15,079
Houston fan base have done a horrific job of supporting

714
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:18,280
our programs and it's and it's taking its toll. It

715
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,000
just has.

716
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, and we have not for a bunch

717
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,519
of greatdowners like Solman and so on.

718
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,559
Speaker 3: You know, we wouldn't be where we are and have

719
00:35:28,679 --> 00:35:29,920
the facilities.

720
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: That we are if not for Tillman, there will be

721
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,360
no for Tiita Center, and we would not have the

722
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:36,639
hopefully national champion s type team. Again, this should coming

723
00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:38,880
up this year, but I mean, we just you know,

724
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,599
and thanks for the phone call. You got a lot

725
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:42,960
of static and background noise there. We just don't. We

726
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:46,559
just don't draw flies. We just don't. This is a reality.

727
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:48,800
And I know that SFA was not a it's not

728
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,960
a team that you can hang your hat on. And

729
00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:54,360
the conference is I mean playing in Conference USA and

730
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,119
American Vault. I mean it, there's a variety of factors,

731
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,480
but we don't. We don't have forty thousand people that

732
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:03,639
say we don't care who you play, We're gonna be there.

733
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,960
Never have and so that's just the reality of it,

734
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
and I wish that that was the case, but it's not.

735
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,719
I mean, look A and M's got Utah State coming in.

736
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,039
I mean, who gives a crap about Utah State? Although

737
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:20,639
the friend of mine's their voice. They're gonna have one

738
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,280
hundred thousand people there. They had one hundred and six

739
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,320
thousand whatever it was for UTSA. Your squad is gonna

740
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,519
play San Jose State, You're gonna have well, you're gonna

741
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:31,800
have one hundred thousand people. Yes they are. You just

742
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,320
go because you love the school, regardless the opponent. Yeah,

743
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,159
it was. I mean it is interesting, and I don't

744
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:38,639
know how much of it has to do with just

745
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,079
the fact that Houston is in a big city. I mean,

746
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:43,639
we talked about winning and building that history. I mean,

747
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,239
Aggie's have it won a national championship since the nineteen thirties.

748
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:52,360
And the reality is this in big cities schools have

749
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,840
a difficult time. Cincinnati, same situation. They don't draw a flat.

750
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,920
They do better, but they're they're they're not boasting about

751
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:03,559
their football attendance. Miami. I'd have to go look, but

752
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:05,119
it looks like every time I watch a Miami game

753
00:37:05,159 --> 00:37:06,840
the play is pretty much filled. Then that maybe just

754
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,519
because it's the last couple of years, last couple of years,

755
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:11,079
But what was it like nine years ago when they

756
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:15,079
were five and seven? Who knows who else is big

757
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:18,800
city schools. New York teams don't draw flies, LA kind

758
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,760
of comes and goes. Northwestern they don't. They don't run

759
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:29,440
the Northwestern games, just don't USC for years. Was good. Yeah,

760
00:37:29,519 --> 00:37:32,079
Ucla got its ass kicked by Utah over the weekend.

761
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,760
I mean by like forty six to ten or something

762
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,679
like that. Tulane people don't go People in New Orleans

763
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,880
don't go to Tulane games just because it's football. Yeah,

764
00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:45,119
USC gets packed, but they also have a long history

765
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:49,239
of winning. So I just my point was, I was

766
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,679
just jealous, and I'm just as a guy that pours

767
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,360
my emotions out to you tend to two weekdays. I

768
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,599
looked at the game on Saturday night, Grand Notre Dame

769
00:37:56,639 --> 00:37:58,960
coming in is a lot more sex appeal. Now, then

770
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:02,559
if Miami played FAU would would would pro player stadium

771
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:04,360
or whatever they're calling a hard rock be fire rock?

772
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:04,639
Speaker 4: Yeah?

773
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,639
Speaker 1: No chance that would be more than twenty eight thousand, though,

774
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,280
You're right, and they wouldn't and be truth betid they

775
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:15,280
won twenty eight thousand. Now there was a strong student section, yes,

776
00:38:15,639 --> 00:38:19,119
but our non student section didn't do particularly well. Now,

777
00:38:19,199 --> 00:38:21,960
I'll tell you this, we better be full for Colorado.

778
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,840
Say what you all about Dion Sanders and how he

779
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,239
probably is perhaps way over rated as a coach. Would

780
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,719
you say anything less than a seal that would be

781
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,000
a disappointment. No, But I would say, aything less than

782
00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:36,480
thirty thousand would be disappointment. Yeah, twenty eight for a SFA.

783
00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:40,480
You can't get twelve more for Colorado. It wasn't twenty eight. Okay,

784
00:38:40,559 --> 00:38:43,159
I'm sorry, you're right. I want I'm talking about now.

785
00:38:43,159 --> 00:38:45,079
I'm saying they can at least say tickets sold. Same

786
00:38:45,159 --> 00:38:49,719
thing when I see it. The game kicks out once

787
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,360
a game six thirty Saturday. It is a Saturday night. No,

788
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:58,840
it's a Friday night. Oh, it's just not big time football.

789
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,880
I'm sorry, man, I'm not. No, if it's an ESPN

790
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,119
Friday night game, have been games playing on Friday Colorado? Uh,

791
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:08,119
I mean it's sexy to me. At least you're off

792
00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:12,320
the Plus. We're on the real network. Now they took

793
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,119
the Plus off. Now we're playing the Plus on the

794
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,239
rice on see and well, also, it's not because it's

795
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,440
you of age, it's because it's Colorado. I mean that's fine. No,

796
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:23,239
but you have made cars. That's a decent big twelve game.

797
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,480
You want to put a decent big Colorado. Uh will

798
00:39:25,519 --> 00:39:28,880
never be on a plus no matter where it is. Oh,

799
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,000
trust me, Colorad only playing, uh playing on the Plus

800
00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:35,679
if it's against who they got left. We're not playing

801
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,920
the Plus against Oregon State. We're not playing in the

802
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:43,800
plus against h Texas Tech or Oklahoma State. We just

803
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,360
plus against s f An and Rice because they're pluses.

804
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,199
And by the way, I love the Plus. I do

805
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,840
games in the plus. Okay, plus is in mean, it's fine.

806
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,440
It happens Texas and Sam Houston is on ESPN plus.

807
00:39:56,679 --> 00:39:58,599
You guys used to put games in the Longhown Network,

808
00:39:58,639 --> 00:40:00,920
and nobody had that channel, so back a lot of

809
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,719
people had. Nobody watched it though. Oh man, what a

810
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,880
horrible blade on the program. They were so big they

811
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,119
got their own freaking channel from Disney. Yeah, that's the

812
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:11,519
reason why Disney's laying people off at the right. Except

813
00:40:11,559 --> 00:40:13,920
for Steven A. He's doing all right, He's doing okay.

814
00:40:14,199 --> 00:40:16,519
Ten fifty seven, let's get to the second hour of

815
00:40:16,559 --> 00:40:18,840
the show. Duenna Passo one's little baseball chatter. We'll get

816
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,639
to that. We also have got feelings in one half

817

820
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,440
the tenth any show on the Labor Day. I had

821
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:38,719
one phone call. Is that an diamond against me? Yeah? Okay,

822
00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:43,440
just one double check. Okay, so they had a loss

823
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,760
that only had one called as well. You were bragging

824
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,760

00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,000
You should be should be jealous of my accomplishments for you, Matthew.

827
00:40:56,159 --> 00:40:57,599
That's what I like to hear. I want more of this,

828
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,960
none of this, hate, more love seven one three two

830
00:41:03,679 --> 00:41:08,039
one two five seven Nay Astros and the Yankees. Uh,

831
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,119
Louis Garcia, we'll talk to this with the manager in

832
00:41:11,159 --> 00:41:15,280
about ninety minutes from now. Why didn't Lance McCullers go

833
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,000
out there and say, you know what effort I'm gonna be.

834
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,480
I'm gonna do what Louis Garcia can do. I'm gonna

835
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,960
go out there and just get to throw strikes and

836
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,800
get people out. It's not that easy, man, It is

837
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,000
not that easy. But we've we we have soft pedaled

838
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:30,440
guys coming back from injuries, and Louis car says like, yeah,

839
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,079
I gave up two home runs, suck it. I still

840
00:41:32,119 --> 00:41:35,079
win six innings. I didn't walk anybody. I gave you

841
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,159
eighty five pitches or whatever it was. And I got

842
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,320
you good. When he wasn't giving up home runs, he

843
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:44,639
was very good. Yeah, And well Lance mccullor's juniors a

844
00:41:44,679 --> 00:41:47,519
bit of a struggle. Yeah. The bullpen thing over the

845
00:41:47,559 --> 00:41:52,719
weekend was not the great experiment. Yeah, I'll be having

846
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,880
a Lance mccullor's. I got fillling coming up at the

847
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,960
bottom of the hour. Oh no, I don't think I'm

848
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,199
gonna be giving anything breaking us wise, it's getting a

849
00:42:01,199 --> 00:42:07,039
blister coming back. Wouldn't it said that just asking? I mean,

850
00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:09,880
it's within the realm of possibilities, right it is. I

851
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,280
would say seven one three, two one two five seven

852
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:19,639
dwain l passo eleven o three man now passo U tip, Yes, sir,

853
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:20,360
that's where it's.

854
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:20,559
Speaker 5: Sorry.

855
00:42:20,679 --> 00:42:22,119
Speaker 1: Sorry about your miners all the weekend.

856
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 8: I'm telling you they got cremated.

857
00:42:26,639 --> 00:42:31,119
Speaker 9: But the question I got for you, gentlemen, is, Okay,

858
00:42:31,199 --> 00:42:35,360
the Astros gotta go three against the Yankees, and then

859
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,480
next they play the Rangers, and then after that the Mariners.

860
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:46,039
Now I got another question, but between those three teams,

861
00:42:46,159 --> 00:42:49,719
three three teams, how many do you believe they got

862
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,239
to win? Continue to stay in first place?

863
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't take you. I can't give you that answer, Dwayne,

864
00:42:55,639 --> 00:42:57,840
There's no way because again, it all depends on how

865
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,440
the Astro is doing and how how depends on what

866
00:43:00,519 --> 00:43:04,079
the team's behind them. Do I mean that's how baseball works. Yeah,

867
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:07,440
it's just there's too many games, Granny, we're down with

868
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:11,840
the last month. But look, the Astros were pedestrian against

869
00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:14,000
Anaheimer's this weekend and they still gained the game on

870
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,320
the Mariner. So it depends on what the Mariners. The

871
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,039
Mariners can't win on the road, they just can't, and

872
00:43:18,519 --> 00:43:20,000
the Astros have got to take advantage of that.

873
00:43:21,519 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 8: Are they going to play in Texas?

874
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 9: Are they playing at home?

875
00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: Both? There's six games of that with the Rangers left,

876
00:43:27,039 --> 00:43:29,639
three and Arlington and three in Houston.

877
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 9: Okay, now the second question I got. I don't know

878
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:39,039
if you can answer this one, but Toronto has the tiebreaker. Now,

879
00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:42,039
the Yankees got to play the Astros, then they got

880
00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:44,280
to go to Toronto, and then they got to go

881
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,960
to Boston. Now do you think that the Yankees or

882
00:43:49,039 --> 00:43:51,840
Boston have a chance to overtake Toronto.

883
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: They're both two and a half games back, so yes,

884
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,440
they have a chance. Yeah, of course, yeah, they have

885
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:57,840
a chance.

886
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, that's it, and I appreciate.

887
00:44:01,079 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: It, thank you, Yeah, this is thank you appreciate it.

888
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:07,800
Though these are these are these are pennant races. Of course, everybody.

889
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:11,199
Teams have a change. Everything is the percentage. What that

890
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,360
percentage is? Who knows? Right now? Astros three up in

891
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,800
the Mariners. But the Mariners do have you want you

892
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,880
you might not want to hear ahead, do let's hear it.

893
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,440
They have the twenty fifth out of thirty strongest schedule

894
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,320
remaining Astros thirteenth. Yeah, because you've got Yankees, and you've

895
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,760
got Mariners, and you've got six of the Rangers who

896
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,400
are now hot. That schedule strength fluctuates because the Rangers

897
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,119
have been playing excellent baseball, they've been playing better. But

898
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,199
also Seattle still got three left with the Rockies, four

899
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,840
with the Angels. I mean they're playing the Braves and

900
00:44:50,199 --> 00:44:54,360
the Cardinals, who aren't very good. So yeah, they have

901
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:59,199
a soccer schedule down the stretch. They have uh sixty,

902
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,280
they've played six the eight home games and they have

903
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:05,800
played seventy road games. Not that this should matter, but

904
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,840
Seattle is six games under five hundred and don't even

905
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,599
look competitive at times on a road. They do have

906
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,559
more home games and road games. The Astros have played

907
00:45:14,639 --> 00:45:17,800
seventy two home games, they have nine left. They have

908
00:45:18,519 --> 00:45:22,280
thirteen road games left to go. But hell, I can't

909
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,679
figure this. I can't figure this team out. You beat

910
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,719
up on the Phillies, you beat up on the Cubs,

911
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,960
you beat up on the Dodgers. You have success again

912
00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:35,519
two miles that they have been the Yankees, the Reds,

913
00:45:36,119 --> 00:45:40,639
and you just you split with the Anaheimer's and you

914
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,599
know in Colorado give y'all a little bit of a

915
00:45:42,679 --> 00:45:46,559
mess too. Well, they won the series, but they did

916
00:45:47,559 --> 00:45:50,360
four the Oriels before that. I will just tell you,

917
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:52,519
I just don't think they're very good right now. I

918
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:57,119
just I think they are good, not great. By the

919
00:45:57,119 --> 00:45:59,119
way the Astros are playing six hundred baseball in their

920
00:45:59,159 --> 00:46:01,519
last ten games, it doesn't feel like they have the

921
00:46:01,639 --> 00:46:05,199
ability to be great. But things have to continue to

922
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,960
fall in place. You've gotten flashes from Christian Walker, inter

923
00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:11,679
Diez or this lineup putting everything together. But then also

924
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,119
you've had the six games of runners in scoring position

925
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,199
was that you had before yesterday? And that is the

926
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,039
nature of baseball. And then when you add it all

927
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:22,519
up at the end of the season and they've had

928
00:46:22,519 --> 00:46:24,920
all these injuries and all that type of stuff. They

929
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,960
can be good, but I just don't think they're to

930
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,039
the elite level of where they were a few years ago.

931
00:46:29,079 --> 00:46:33,360
And I mean, that's just the reality of it. Unless

932
00:46:33,519 --> 00:46:35,719
some things start to happen and you're running out of time.

933
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,519
We are now into September. This is no longer a marathon.

934
00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:41,639
It's a sprint. Yeah, it was down the stretch we

935
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,760
come and I do have questions long term about the

936
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:51,679
bullpen come playoff time, and this lineup being consistent. And

937
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,679
of course this starting pitching now good thing. You got

938
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,559
encouraging start from Luis Garcia, spent rig Getty and Christian

939
00:46:57,639 --> 00:47:00,519
Javier and then you add into the mix Hunter Brown

940
00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:02,239
and fromber Valdez and we know what they're capable of.

941
00:47:02,599 --> 00:47:06,760
You're in a pretty good spot there, and the Mariners

942
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,519
don't seem to want to pull away that that has

943
00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:11,840
been a godsend. I mean, if you just look at

944
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,320
their lineup card and their starting rotation, you ask yourself,

945
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,199
how are they not five games ahead of the actual

946
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,519
And the reality is the Rangers have won nine of ten,

947
00:47:19,559 --> 00:47:21,320
They've won six in a row, they're the best playing

948
00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:24,360
or they're playing in the division and they're a game

949
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:25,880
and a half out of that third wild card. It

950
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,559
could be there could be a chance, if there is

951
00:47:27,639 --> 00:47:31,760
a chance, we could see a Texas Houston wild card series.

952
00:47:33,199 --> 00:47:37,360
I would not want to see that. De gram Vivaldi

953
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,639
is the one two punch that can tangle with with

954
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,239
Valdez and yes, Brown, Brown and Valdez, however you want

955
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,440
to do it. But the starting pitching has been, especially

956
00:47:46,519 --> 00:47:48,679
in this series against the Rockies, even on the offense

957
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:54,920
was largely vacant. Arraghetti was good, Javier was good fromber

958
00:47:55,079 --> 00:47:58,079
was back to fromber form. And then Luis Garcia. I

959
00:47:58,159 --> 00:48:00,360
mean not that I expected that every single time I'm out,

960
00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:06,480
but he well exceeded my expectations. Six innings, low pitch count,

961
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,400
quality startles first go around. Yeah, we eve didn't talked

962
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,639
about Hovier really. Yeah, because over the weekend not allowing

963
00:48:15,679 --> 00:48:21,360
a hit and fight and again the Astros just well

964
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,599
when they go on an offensive struggle, it's they're getting

965
00:48:23,639 --> 00:48:26,119
guys on base, but their runners in scoring position over

966
00:48:26,159 --> 00:48:29,280
the weekend, except for yesterday, was terrible. Yesterday bounce back,

967
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,360
I have I have faith he think coaches are going

968
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,840
to come through tonight. Will the hitting coaches will their

969
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,039
way to an Astros series win over the Yankees? I

970
00:48:37,119 --> 00:48:39,840
hope so seven one three two one two five seven

971
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,079
ninety seven one three two one two five seven nine zero.

972
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,960
Texans are off today, they'll be on the practice fil

973
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,079
We are officially in game week mode. I took part

974
00:48:49,119 --> 00:48:52,239
in the fantasy draft yesterday. I'm not pleased with my results. Well,

975
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,800
let me look at the roster. Don't do it. Let

976
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,119
me do your roster evaluation tomorrow. We're playing in week one.

977
00:48:57,159 --> 00:48:58,760
By the way, ESPN gave me a B, but I

978
00:48:58,800 --> 00:48:59,760
think they gave everybody a B.

979
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:00,280
Speaker 5: Do not.

980
00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, I don't have no clue you didn't get

981
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,440
right away. I don't look at draft grades. No, they

982
00:49:06,519 --> 00:49:08,159
emailed it to me. They didn't. I didn't even ask

983
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,320
for it. Yeah, I don't look at it. I didn't

984
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,480
see it. I can go look it up. I did not,

985
00:49:12,599 --> 00:49:14,639
but I don't. I did not pick a quarterback until

986
00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:17,199
the eighth round. I feel better when I get a

987
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,559
bad grade, so I'm not worried about it. Yeah, quarterback

988
00:49:19,559 --> 00:49:23,920
Athron is great. Yeah, I went heavy while running back

989
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,400
and wide receiver, and then I went to a tight end.

990
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,320
I got Travis Kelcey. I'm up in all of the

991
00:49:29,519 --> 00:49:31,360
you can work out, especially with the first six weeks

992
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,719
when Rushi Rice is on ice mm hm, and you

993
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,400
know he's he's got to make his money, he's got

994
00:49:39,559 --> 00:49:41,280
he's got a wedding to pay for. I got Rashi

995
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,199
Rice on my bench. When he comes back, my team's

996
00:49:44,199 --> 00:49:46,440
gonna be pretty stout, feeling good. But will you be

997
00:49:46,519 --> 00:49:48,480
too far behind? As long as I go three and

998
00:49:48,519 --> 00:49:50,199
three first six weeks, then I got a Then I

999
00:49:50,199 --> 00:49:54,719
got a super squad. Okay, it's a gamble. It makes

1000
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,119
you the savvy general manager that you are. Let's go

1001
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:03,280
to Midtown and talk to vinn So the Matt Thomas Show. Ross, Hi, Vince, Hey,

1002
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:04,559
how you guys doing well?

1003
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,079
Speaker 7: Good?

1004
00:50:06,199 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: Good?

1005
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 8: Hey.

1006
00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 4: I know that Straw has been getting a lot of criticism,

1007
00:50:11,639 --> 00:50:14,679
you know here lately, especially honestly, I think he's done

1008
00:50:14,679 --> 00:50:17,039
a great job concerning all the stuff that the Astros

1009
00:50:17,079 --> 00:50:20,599
have been through with injuries and just holding it together.

1010
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: Uh.

1011
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 4: But at this point in time, he doesn't need to

1012
00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:25,480
be resting any of the he needs to be putting

1013
00:50:25,559 --> 00:50:29,320
his best squad out there every day. No more rest

1014
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,159
for Altuve any of those guys. Just what do you

1015
00:50:32,199 --> 00:50:32,920
all think about that?

1016
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see what happens. Uh, well, yeah, that's fine,

1017
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,159
we're gonna cut. We're in a combo. Rest is a

1018
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,159
relative term. Jornion is getting rest because they don't want

1019
00:50:45,159 --> 00:50:50,920
that hand on getting inflammated, inflammation, inflammation inflamed. So if

1020
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,159
you see him out and as long as they're being

1021
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,159
honest with you, it's they're saying they're just trying to

1022
00:50:55,199 --> 00:50:58,599
make sure that he doesn't uh wind up being regressing

1023
00:50:58,639 --> 00:51:00,280
it back into what he was at miss and miss

1024
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,360
a Hunter games. Yeah, and we have to stop thinking

1025
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:07,199
about this, folks as if it's the nineteen seventies and

1026
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,760
the manager is making all decisions. They are collaborating. Joe

1027
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,480
Spot is talking to the players, he's talking to the trainers.

1028
00:51:13,519 --> 00:51:19,159
They have plans. They have done this four years. I'm

1029
00:51:19,159 --> 00:51:22,280
trying to stay callback. They've done this for years where

1030
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,840
we talked about this with Dusty Baker A J. Hinch.

1031
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:26,920
Why is he giving this guy a day off? Because

1032
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,920
they plan it. They have data on these players and

1033
00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:33,559
how fast they're running and all this other stuff. They

1034
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,800
look at guys and when they need a rest in

1035
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:37,760
a day off, they give it to them. I understand

1036
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:39,679
it is down the stretch and all that type of stuff,

1037
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,880
and it is a difficult line to tow figuring out

1038
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,679
putting your best foot forward and trying to win a

1039
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,599
game and also being fresh in October. But if you

1040
00:51:48,679 --> 00:51:51,320
look at the results for the Astros over the last

1041
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,199
ten years, when this whole time they've been giving these

1042
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,440
days off, it's allowed them to be fresher in October,

1043
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,440
and that's what they are trying to do. So when

1044
00:52:01,519 --> 00:52:04,960
they give these guys these days off, obviously it's difficult

1045
00:52:05,039 --> 00:52:07,000
and it hurts the lineup when you're on or al

1046
00:52:07,079 --> 00:52:09,119
Tuo Vey or whatever gets these days off, But it's

1047
00:52:09,199 --> 00:52:12,119
them continuing to try to play the long game. And

1048
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:13,920
I understand you can go out there and try to

1049
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,079
win every single game, but if everybody's tired, you're not

1050
00:52:16,079 --> 00:52:18,519
gonna go anywhere in the playoffs. So it's a tough

1051
00:52:18,599 --> 00:52:21,239
balance for the Astros to try to do. But it's collaborative.

1052
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,519
It's not all. It's not all. Joe A Spot is saying,

1053
00:52:23,519 --> 00:52:25,840
all right, you're sitting down today. They work with the trainers,

1054
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,039
they work with the players, they work with everyone and

1055
00:52:28,119 --> 00:52:31,280
they try to figure out the best plan for everyone individually.

1056
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,480
Ill And one more thing. The Astros' last off day

1057
00:52:33,639 --> 00:52:37,119
was the twenty fifth of August. They don't get an

1058
00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:40,239
off day until September the eighth. There's somebody that's gonna

1059
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,199
get an off day between now and the end of

1060
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:43,920
the week. I'm just telling you, I don't know who

1061
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,239
it's going to be, but it's gonna be somebody. Yeah,

1062
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,239
I would hope that you would not go, what in

1063
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,880
the world do these pansies needed today off for? That's

1064
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:56,199
a stretch of five to six, ten, thirteen straight games.

1065
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,559
Guys just don't play thirteen anymore, and don't they don't.

1066
00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:02,000
And that's just the Astros. It's every team every day.

1067
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:06,000
If everybody else was playing everyone one's sixty two, the

1068
00:53:06,119 --> 00:53:08,280
Astros would actually be an advantage because their players would

1069
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,039
be well more well rested. So everybody's resting their players more.

1070
00:53:12,639 --> 00:53:14,719
I mean, it's just it's the nature of the beast.

1071
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,840
But you will probably see it less depending on how

1072
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,039
tight the race gets down the stretch. Now, I'll say this,

1073
00:53:19,639 --> 00:53:22,599
they have three days off between September eighth and the

1074
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,320
end of the season, so you can time it properly. Yes,

1075
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,559
they have the eighth off, the eighteenth off in the

1076
00:53:28,639 --> 00:53:31,840
twenty second. The DH would be their friend to so

1077
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,559
many players, but you got a lot of guys fighting

1078
00:53:33,599 --> 00:53:37,079
for that DH spot, and frankly, Ramon Urias playing second

1079
00:53:37,159 --> 00:53:39,960
base from a defensive perspective helps you more so than

1080
00:53:40,079 --> 00:53:44,719
jose al Tuove defending second base. But what, I'm sorry,

1081
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,920
I didn't know the native all these out for the year. Well,

1082
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:50,519
I hate to hear that. That must have happened when

1083
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:53,400
I was a vacation. Sorry. I don't pay attention to

1084
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,119
the Rangers except boothing them when they when they come

1085
00:53:56,159 --> 00:53:59,400
to the play the Astros point being three off days

1086
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,119
left to go the rest of the year, plus there's

1087
00:54:02,159 --> 00:54:04,199
only one DH spot. They're gonna do their best. Not

1088
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,840
everybody can play the rest of the way. So just

1089
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:08,599
I would say this, I know it's hard for Bill

1090
00:54:08,639 --> 00:54:12,760
to believe this, but trust the trust the process they're

1091
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:15,360
they're That team is full of players that want to

1092
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,519
play every day. I've never heard of a team and

1093
00:54:17,559 --> 00:54:20,119
say I's only playing twice a week. They all want

1094
00:54:20,159 --> 00:54:21,599
to play, they all want to win the division, they

1095
00:54:21,599 --> 00:54:23,079
all want to go to the playoffs. There's money for

1096
00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:24,880
them and that there's prestige in a chance for a

Speaker 5: S.

1102
00:54:40,159 --> 00:54:42,519
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be checking out social media. Granted, I don't

1103
00:54:42,519 --> 00:54:45,280
think she's overly concerned about it, but you're twenty four,

1104
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:46,719
so on my guess as you are concerned about it,

1105
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:52,199
because that's twenty four year olds concern themselves with forty

1106
00:54:52,559 --> 00:54:59,599
nine year age difference. Hmmm, is this true? Is this

1107
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,519
her on the sideline? Is this in the middle of

1108
00:55:01,559 --> 00:55:05,960
the game. That could be ai. By the way everything is,

1109
00:55:06,119 --> 00:55:08,440
you can always go to the it might be ask

1110
00:55:08,559 --> 00:55:14,639
I'm asking. I don't know. I couldn't even care to comment,

1111
00:55:14,679 --> 00:55:18,800
but I as much as he's whipped by her, there's

1112
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,360
no way he lets her on the field. Or I

1113
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,079
am notuncing to show me the photo. Can you show

1114
00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:28,760
it to me. It's a video and it looks now

1115
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:32,639
maybe this is pregame. Maybe this is pregame. Oh, there's

1116
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:38,199
no chance, no chance, she's that close. There is somebody walking,

1117
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,280
She's she's got a headset in a play sheet. Okay,

1118
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,599
I'm kidding about that part. She's doing the coaching interview

1119
00:55:44,639 --> 00:55:46,559
at halftime. No, she don't, Cad, I'm kidding about that.

1120
00:55:46,639 --> 00:55:52,599
She's with him, is watching him like Cow, She's She's

1121
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:57,360
the Hannah to Cow. Questions are asked to Belichick and

1122
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:01,320
unless it goes past Hudson, just like questions are asked

1123
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,400
to cal doesn't answer a question without Hannah going you

1124
00:56:04,519 --> 00:56:09,519
can answer that. You can't answer that. I'll tell you though,

1125
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:12,960
Ross If I'm with somebody forty nine years younger than

1126
00:56:13,039 --> 00:56:16,840
me and hot like Jordan is, you have to play

1127
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:20,800
by her rules. Okay, apparently this pregame thankful she's wearing

1128
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:26,679
sneakskin pants. Magine gonna spend all that money. And they

1129
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,159
were a celebrity that Michael Jordan was in the building yesterday,

1130
00:56:30,079 --> 00:56:33,360
Me Hamm was in the building yesterday, Taylor, Lawrence, Taylor,

1131
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:39,119
I mean, all these big time UNC alums and they

1132
00:56:39,159 --> 00:56:42,280
got their ass kicked for three hours on national television.

1133
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,760
It was It's hilarious and TCUs no juggernaut. Hell, we

1134
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,920
beat him last year. Well, maybe they're better this year, Matt.

1135
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:56,159
Clearly they're improved. Well, the portal helps portal didn't hurt.

1136
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:58,559
I'm telling you this portal. You gotta first of all,

1137
00:56:58,679 --> 00:57:00,880
do not do not buy yours is of your favorite

1138
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,000
player because they will be gone more times than not.

1139
00:57:04,599 --> 00:57:07,159
And secondly, let's start. Arch is gonna be back next year?

1140
00:57:07,159 --> 00:57:10,559
I told you maybe maybe after that performance. No, let

1141
00:57:10,599 --> 00:57:13,079
me ask you, this is every time Texas going to lose,

1142
00:57:13,159 --> 00:57:15,159
Is it always going to be as much Sark's faulted

1143
00:57:15,159 --> 00:57:17,519
as Archer's fault because man Sark was wearing it getting

1144
00:57:17,559 --> 00:57:21,360
worn out this weekend? Uh, I don't know. I would

1145
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,840
say the biggest reason they lost is Ohio State is

1146
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:27,360
really good and they were on the road and they

1147
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,480
they got whipped up front. They had four new offensive

1148
00:57:30,519 --> 00:57:34,280
linemen and it looked like it running game worked though,

1149
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,360
it was fine, but it's not like they ran for

1150
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:39,800
four yards on them. One hundred thirty seven carries for

1151
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,280
one hundred and sixty six yards is not you know,

1152
00:57:43,639 --> 00:57:46,159
But why didn't Arch star to a wide receiver in

1153
00:57:46,199 --> 00:57:47,880
the first half? I mean, was he just checking down

1154
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:52,199
every single opportunity? Coad didn't seem like it seems by

1155
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:55,119
design with Sark they wanted to do some quick one

1156
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,360
reads and and well a couple of those. Arch Manning

1157
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,599
was inaccurate to start. He missed a couple of very

1158
00:57:59,719 --> 00:58:03,559
very easy elementary throws early on. Do you know part

1159
00:58:03,639 --> 00:58:05,960
of what is talked about with him is that he

1160
00:58:06,119 --> 00:58:08,519
has this calm demeanor. He's been there and done there.

1161
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,679
Did you think he was too laid back? Is that

1162
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:14,840
such a thing? I guess it could be, but I

1163
00:58:15,079 --> 00:58:17,480
don't I don't know. I can't really answer that question

1164
00:58:17,599 --> 00:58:19,679
unless I'm in the in the huddles, yeah, which I

1165
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,480
was not. Was there a sense of I mean, he

1166
00:58:21,519 --> 00:58:23,239
did hit that one throw in the second half that

1167
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:24,880
was a forty yard pass I think is what it was.

1168
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,159
That was big throws in the second half. That fourth

1169
00:58:27,239 --> 00:58:28,960
and three throw to the right side should have been

1170
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,280
caught for a touchdown. So I mean, I thought he

1171
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,360
looked a lot better in the second half. And again,

1172
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,400
you're on the road going against I mean on the

1173
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,320
road against the defending national champions in week one. So

1174
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,840
I'm saying, if you're a good football team, I respect you.

1175
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,920
I respect the fact that you want to play somebody

1176
00:58:46,079 --> 00:58:48,159
on an opening weekend game and get the all that

1177
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,519
national attention. But I wouldn't do it I would say, Yeah,

1178
00:58:51,639 --> 00:58:54,639
give me Nevada versus Penn State, give me New Mexico

1179
00:58:54,719 --> 00:58:57,599
versus Michigan every single time. That's what I want. Yeah,

1180
00:58:57,679 --> 00:58:59,519
concern is a little heightened, but I'm not going to

1181
00:58:59,559 --> 00:59:02,639
say I'm like I'm you know, saying go ahead and

1182
00:59:04,039 --> 00:59:06,000
not put them out because here's the reality. You're gonna

1183
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,000
be three and one going to Florida. Your next real

1184
00:59:08,159 --> 00:59:11,440
test to see what Arch has in his system is

1185
00:59:11,519 --> 00:59:14,679
going to be in Gainesville at Florida Fields next your dad.

1186
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,559
Exactly one hundred thousand screaming fans of the swamp here

1187
00:59:17,639 --> 00:59:21,199
we go. But hey, that's plage football, big time college football.

1188
00:59:22,599 --> 00:59:26,239
There's no SFAs on the schedule. None. We're done with

1189
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,559
that too. We have to jugging out Rice ouls beat

1190
00:59:29,119 --> 00:59:34,039
buy you bucketing? What's up? I want to say, you

1191
00:59:34,239 --> 00:59:41,920
of h by at least two touchdowns? Many more? Oh look,

1192
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,239
last buy you bucket game for a long time?

1193
00:59:46,079 --> 00:59:46,239
Speaker 5: Is it?

1194
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 1: Why? Because anymore? Why not? Rice wants a check. They

1195
00:59:52,519 --> 00:59:56,039
wanna go get paid by I go get somebody. Do

1196
00:59:56,079 --> 00:59:58,239
you know the Rice? You of h And this is

1197
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:00,719
gonna be twelve and a half. Okay, what's going on

1198
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,159
a little bit? Then I think then. I thought it

1199
01:00:02,239 --> 01:00:03,679
was at least a double digital. It looks like it

1200
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:09,840
opened fourteen and a half. I don't need no damn

1201
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:11,840
sneaky cover. I need a full throttle cover.

1202
01:00:14,039 --> 01:00:14,239
Speaker 7: To me.

1203
01:00:14,599 --> 01:00:16,679
Speaker 1: Uh, Rice is nothing for me and I I love you,

1204
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,199
H does it isn't who is U of H's biggest way?

1205
01:00:21,199 --> 01:00:27,599
You don't have a rival? Sorry, no, it's fine. It

1206
01:00:27,719 --> 01:00:31,559
is what it is. We were no figure. I mean,

1207
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:33,000
we're gonna We're gonna go to Rice name. It will

1208
01:00:33,039 --> 01:00:35,039
be six thousand, will be six thousand people. You're just

1209
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:37,719
so good. You've got no rivals. No one could possibly

1210
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,159
ri I wasn't gonna spin it that way, but it

1211
01:00:40,239 --> 01:00:41,039
sounds pretty good.

1212
01:00:42,159 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 8: It does.

1213
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,719
Speaker 1: This next half hour on the radio show is where

1214
01:00:46,719 --> 01:00:49,360
you get to come in and make your predictions and

1215
01:00:49,519 --> 01:00:52,440
if you would like to make predictions about anything sports related,

1216
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,519
whether it be about the Astros week against the Yankees,

1217
01:00:54,679 --> 01:00:58,199
whether it be about the Texans week one game against

1218
01:00:58,199 --> 01:01:01,320
the Los Angeles Rams, Rossi and I will by we're

1219
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,400
making our predictions for the season on Friday. We will

1220
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,519
not do week to week picks because, frankly, do you

1221
01:01:06,599 --> 01:01:08,000
really care what our week to week picks are?

1222
01:01:08,519 --> 01:01:08,559
Speaker 5: No?

1223
01:01:08,719 --> 01:01:10,639
Speaker 1: You don't I like to. It's when you get them wrong.

1224
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:14,320
It's a segment filler that sounds stupid. Okay, Oh, I

1225
01:01:14,639 --> 01:01:17,480
love the Giants MINEUS nine and a half against the Commander.

01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:23,840
go off of the gut feelings of two weeks ago.

1245
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,039
Did you you don't have the ones from last week? No,

1246
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,039
Jonathan wrote him down. Do you remember what you said?

1247
01:02:28,199 --> 01:02:28,239
Speaker 6: No?

1248
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,679
Speaker 1: Oh, I remember the Astros going six and four in

1249
01:02:30,719 --> 01:02:33,000
this ten game Homestand how are they doing so far?

1250
01:02:33,119 --> 01:02:37,159
They are five and three? Oh no, no, it can't

1251
01:02:37,159 --> 01:02:40,400
be right. I can't be right. Uh, two, three, four

1252
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:44,280
and three? Yes, put with the Angels in two? So okay,

1253
01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:47,440
the Yankees. You're good. I'm pacing, yeah, but I want

1254
01:02:47,519 --> 01:02:49,199
him to go six in the pace. Why not? I

1255
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,199
want him to go seven and three. But I was like,

1256
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,039
I got the realism. He said six and four. I

1257
01:02:54,119 --> 01:02:54,920
haven't been good enough.

1258
01:02:55,039 --> 01:02:55,239
Speaker 7: I know.

1259
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,559
Speaker 1: That's all. That's why I want to hit, all right,

1260
01:02:57,639 --> 01:02:58,880
So let's go back to two weeks How we do

1261
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:00,800
two weeks ago? Two weeks ago? Oh, you said the

1262
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:02,760
Astros and score at least three ear and runs against

1263
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,199
Tyrek Scouble. That's an l correct. You said they lead

1264
01:03:06,239 --> 01:03:08,559
at least three games over the Mariners after the Angel Series.

1265
01:03:08,599 --> 01:03:13,079
I don't think they did. That was not this last

1266
01:03:13,079 --> 01:03:15,760
Angel series the one before that? But whatever, No, no, no,

1267
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,760
one Angel series. I'm right. I actually got that right.

1268
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:21,280
They don't play the Angels until the end of the year,

1269
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:26,760
so I'm win. Thank you, You're welcome. Yeah, yeah, no, no,

1270
01:03:27,079 --> 01:03:29,079
that's that's no. They have they have, they've had. They

1271
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:31,519
had two serious left of the Angels. One was this

1272
01:03:31,599 --> 01:03:33,760
past weekend and one was the last weekend of the season.

1273
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,840
I said, the Angel series three games like, oh yeah, yeah,

1274
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,800
I got a feelings. That's right. Even though uh, our

1275
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,840
producer in here is doing the doing the the dance

1276
01:03:44,199 --> 01:03:47,920
whatever that was, I didn't see it showing that dance again.

1277
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:53,480
Look at that having a stroke. It's a nervous twitch

1278
01:03:53,559 --> 01:03:55,199
or something. Yeah, all right, so it's a gut feeling.

1279
01:03:55,239 --> 01:03:57,960
Hits on one for two, continue on, hold on, I

1280
01:03:58,039 --> 01:03:59,679
lost the document, okay, and that's all I wrote down

1281
01:03:59,719 --> 01:04:01,280
for you. Right, what do you got, I said, HEYESU

1282
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,000
Sanchez would have get hit that night. I don't think

1283
01:04:03,039 --> 01:04:04,360
he did. That was when he was on his big

1284
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,480
O for correct, I said Christian Kirk over fifty receptions

1285
01:04:07,519 --> 01:04:09,360
and six four hundred and forty nine yards in the season.

1286
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,079
I say it's going to be a hit, I said

1287
01:04:11,239 --> 01:04:13,280
ord On back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies,

1288
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,599
and he was, I said, Dub yeap. I said they

1289
01:04:16,639 --> 01:04:19,480
would lose to the Tigers in the school versus Brown matchup.

1290
01:04:19,599 --> 01:04:21,400
That was a correct answer, but I also said three

1291
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,880
to one. I don't think I got the score right. Nope. Oh,

1292
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:25,559
I said Hunter Brown would throw seven innings at one

1293
01:04:25,639 --> 01:04:28,000
run ball. He threw six innings of shutouts. That is

1294
01:04:28,039 --> 01:04:31,960
a loss. It's close, though, close, but no cigar, no cigar,

1295
01:04:32,039 --> 01:04:33,519
but was close. And let's see.

1296
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 4: Uh.

1297
01:04:36,079 --> 01:04:38,719
Speaker 1: Jonathan said that the Astro would score twenty five runs

1298
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:39,320
in five games.

1299
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:39,679
Speaker 4: That did not.

1300
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,679
Speaker 1: I'm sure that didn't. Man take him twenty five games

1301
01:04:41,719 --> 01:04:45,480

hope minimum is that in the first half, or is

1365
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:31,519
that in the entire game we're keeping it a little broad. Okay,

1366
01:07:31,599 --> 01:07:33,719
hold on, I got to make a new column on this, h.

1367
01:07:37,159 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 5: On this.

1368
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,840

1400
01:09:30,239 --> 01:09:34,800
nineteen sixteen something like that. This one's going to be

1401
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:45,119
off your board. Please touchdown receiving Dalton Schultz. Hmmm. Now,

1402
01:09:45,159 --> 01:09:47,920

01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,760

01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,399
you wouldn't you wouldn't be able to retire, but you'd

1405
01:09:51,399 --> 01:09:53,039
be able to get some good odds on that. You

1406
01:09:53,159 --> 01:09:59,600
heard it here. First, I will just throw another name

1407
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:01,359
at you, just to throw another name at you. Okay,

1408
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:08,399
touchdown Christian Kirk. Ooh, I like that. Okay, nineteen sixteen

1409
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,079
Kimi Fairbairn four field goals and a Christian Kirk touchdown. Boom,

1410
01:10:13,119 --> 01:10:16,079
there it is, nineteen sixteen, nineteen to sixteen. Okay, yeah,

1411
01:10:17,279 --> 01:10:19,199
take the under, by the way, take the k Kymie

1412
01:10:19,239 --> 01:10:22,680
fairbar over. It feels like every game that's say that's right,

1413
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,960
as long as he's accurate. All right, If you've got

1414
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,560
a gut feeling, let us know not. We're just gonna

1415
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,479
turn the station off. Seven one, three to two to one.

1416
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:30,680
You don't want that, you don't want to me. You

1417
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,239
know what your options are at this time of the day.

1418
01:10:32,359 --> 01:10:35,800
Oh my god. Oh by the way, Astros win the

1419
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:41,640
series versus the Yankees, agreed? Write that down for me. Two. Okay,

1420
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:47,479
Astros win the series against the Yankees, dropped two or

1421
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:50,880
three in Arlington. I'll had one more to that, Sagan.

1422
01:10:51,119 --> 01:10:54,720
You heard me, No, I didn't Astros go three and

1423
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,920
three in the next six games, win two or three

1424
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,880
against the Yanks, strap two or three to the Rangers,

1425
01:11:01,399 --> 01:11:12,520
giving the Rangers. Give some Rangers some full optimism. I'm

1426
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,600
feeling pretty good about the rotation. Honestly, I'm a little

1427
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,159
I've never been worried about the rotation and the bullpen.

1428
01:11:20,119 --> 01:11:22,199
Long term guys are getting taxed. I never thought I

1429
01:11:22,199 --> 01:11:26,520
would say miss Bennet's SUSA. Yeah, I missing big time.

1430
01:11:27,119 --> 01:11:30,880
What's the latest on him? Hmm, Quiet, Donzo, don't say that.

1431
01:11:31,079 --> 01:11:32,960
I mean, that's what we're thinking. But it's not okay.

1432
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:34,680
I mean a lot of that happened when I was

1433
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:36,239
on vacation. I don't know. All right, here we go

1434
01:11:36,399 --> 01:11:39,720

1435
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:43,039

1437
01:11:45,359 --> 01:11:48,199
have some predictions right as we live. For it's a two.

1438
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,279
Maybe people are people still taking the day off. I

1439
01:11:51,319 --> 01:11:54,439
think that some people are for four day weekend, although

1440
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,239

01:12:09,079 --> 01:12:11,680

maybe people were turned off by that guy's a jackass.

1449
01:12:16,319 --> 01:12:18,760
I'm sorry, I'm just saying you were rude to people.

1450
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:20,680
People are gonna take notice of that. How did I

1451
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:21,840
become the rude one on this show?

1452
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:22,039

1462
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,399
at one twenty woo. It's actually going to be a

1463
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:02,720
recap of our fantasy drafts. Look at the school, let

1464
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,199
me look at the let me look at the Toros.

1465
01:13:05,199 --> 01:13:08,800
My two quarterbacks. If I just hang tight till Rashie

1466
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,800
Rice comes back, I got a freaking super squad are

1467
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,800
and he's gonna pull his hamstring in the first week. Okay,

1468
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,600
jamiir Now see you took Gibbs after I took Barkley.

1469
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,159
I was a coin toss for me. Between Gibbs and Barkley.

1470
01:13:23,199 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 6: Got you.

1471
01:13:25,039 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 1: A chan. I like that pick Higgins. You took Higgins

1472
01:13:28,039 --> 01:13:31,159
right after I took somebody. Huh McBride. I was between

1473
01:13:31,159 --> 01:13:34,079
the Kyler Murray and Caleb Williams of my two quarterbacks.

1474
01:13:34,079 --> 01:13:36,560
I don't mind the value got on Garrett Wilson, Kelsey

1475
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:40,760
will see save Flowers and the flex. Ye, we'll see.

1476
01:13:42,279 --> 01:13:44,960
I do want you to send out your preseason prognostications

1477
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,119
because I want I want clan to get mad at you.

1478
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:51,600
See last time I did that, I made fun of

1479
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,119
Dan Matthews for taking three tight ends. I was questioning

1480
01:13:54,159 --> 01:13:56,760
everybody's team. I just don't want to do that anymore. Oh,

1481
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:57,640
I want you to do it.

1482
01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 9: No.

1483
01:13:59,039 --> 01:14:01,520
Speaker 1: I like keeping the league where it is. Oh, I

1484
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,560
see what you're doing that seems fair to the phones.

1485
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,239
We go Brian at eleven forty nine. Brian, what's in

1486
01:14:08,279 --> 01:14:09,000
your gut this week?

1487
01:14:10,079 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 13: A couple of things. I agree. I think the Seconds

1488
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:17,520
win twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen. I'm gonna go touchdown, Nick Shop.

1489
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,640
I think they're gonna get close enough to where he

1490
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:23,760
can get one under five yards and he'll score it.

1491
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,760
I think he'll get in the get in the end zone.

1492
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,000
I think we get a good I think we get

1493
01:14:29,039 --> 01:14:32,680
a quality start from good Promber tonight and get a

1494
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:36,279
win and a prediction. I hope to hit on within

1495
01:14:36,399 --> 01:14:40,800
one calendar year from today the Sports the Sports MP

1496
01:14:41,039 --> 01:14:45,039
Show with Ross, sometimes with mt sometimes with Ross, sometimes

1497
01:14:45,079 --> 01:14:48,479
without either. We'll be on Space City Home Network.

1498
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 7: You know what.

1499
01:14:50,399 --> 01:14:55,680
Speaker 1: Thank you Brian very much. I honestly, and this is

1500
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,279
notice I love the Space City people more than you know.

1501
01:14:59,319 --> 01:15:02,359
I don't want it because we can't do some of

1502
01:15:02,399 --> 01:15:04,199
the things on the show that we'd like to do

1503
01:15:04,399 --> 01:15:08,760
because of music license music LICENSEFF. We have to be

1504
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,600
on a more strict clock, which we know. Matt Thomas, Well,

1505
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:12,960
let me tell you if the boys can do in

1506
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:14,279
the afternoon, we can do it our side. I know

1507
01:15:14,359 --> 01:15:15,920
we can do it. We can, we can do it,

1508
01:15:16,239 --> 01:15:17,720
I know, but we have to there.

1509
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:18,279
Speaker 5: They have.

1510
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:22,239
Speaker 1: They have some parameters that I just don't like. And

1511
01:15:22,359 --> 01:15:25,279
it's not anybody's fault. It is you can't have as much,

1512
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,439
you can't go off script as much. How about put

1513
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:31,239
it that way? Yeah, it would be a significantly more

1514
01:15:31,359 --> 01:15:34,840
sports to your show. And it we will and Ross

1515
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:38,039
would not be able to work Blue And that's not true.

1516
01:15:38,079 --> 01:15:39,880
They're gonna go They're gonna put muzzle on me, are they.

1517
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,039
I'd I'd have to wash my hair more often put

1518
01:15:45,119 --> 01:15:49,079
on better clothes, man, But I like wearing sweatpants and

1519
01:15:49,119 --> 01:15:51,800
this will all over your half your shirts? Is this

1520
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,319
than it looks? Ben looks that way? Oh? The here's one.

1521
01:15:54,319 --> 01:15:58,079
You're here. Let's go to uh toothpaste Grayson on seven

1522
01:15:58,119 --> 01:15:59,279
on it? Grayson? Which in your gut?

1523
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 8: All right?

1524
01:16:01,239 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 11: Well, I think the Astros can go five and one

1525
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:06,760
in their next six against the Yankees and the Rangers.

1526
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:07,119
Speaker 13: Wow.

1527
01:16:07,239 --> 01:16:08,319
Speaker 1: I like the optimism.

1528
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I think that the Texans are gonna win

1529
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,279
by two touchdowns because I don't think uh Shaffer is

1530
01:16:15,319 --> 01:16:16,600
gonna play well.

1531
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:18,720
Speaker 1: He's he is supposed to play, so unless he gets

1532
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,960
hurt in the next couple of days, he's practicing, right, Yeah, don't.

1533
01:16:22,079 --> 01:16:25,920
Speaker 3: I don't think play all right, that's.

1534
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,079
Speaker 1: His good feeling, Matt. Okay, you can't tell a man

1535
01:16:27,119 --> 01:16:28,800
what's in his gut. Uh, yeah, I can't. When the

1536
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,920
injury reports is he's healthy, I can actually tell him

1537
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:32,520
it's in his gut. If you want to say win's

1538
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:34,439
by two touchdowns, I'm okay with that. But when you can't,

1539
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:36,479
when you're telling me a player is not going to play,

1540
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,399
when the rams are telling you just the opposite, that's

1541
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,000
not a good feel. That's his stupidity. But I love you, though, Grace.

1542
01:16:42,159 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 11: That back to that back though.

1543
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,279
Speaker 1: Come on, all right, hey you know what he Grace.

1544
01:16:46,359 --> 01:16:49,039
How about this? How about this? You have a gut

1545
01:16:49,119 --> 01:16:52,199
feeling that Will Anderson's going to crack Matthew Stafford's back

1546
01:16:52,239 --> 01:16:53,640
in half. That's a better gut feeling.

1547
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 7: Right.

1548
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 8: There we go, There we go.

1549
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 11: We're gett knock him out early.

1550
01:16:56,199 --> 01:16:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. That's a positive thing.

1551
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,399
And I'm thinking about Thank you for the phone call.

1552
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:05,880
If I was an NFL quarterback, I'd be Matthew Stafford,

1553
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:12,960
big rocket, arm Ross and chubby. I mean, I wouldn't

1554
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:16,520
call him chubby. Jared Lorenzen was chubby. No, he was fat.

1555
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:22,960
JaMarcus Russell was chubby fat. He's just not the picture

1556
01:17:23,079 --> 01:17:25,920
of uh. He's had a dad body is entr NFL

1557
01:17:26,039 --> 01:17:27,680
line in the cover of Men's Health, but neither what

1558
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,960
Eli Manning or Tom Brady for most of his career.

1559
01:17:32,239 --> 01:17:36,520
He's got a dad, Bob. He's doing all right? How's

1560
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:41,000
his wife doing? We like her? Who's we America? She

1561
01:17:41,119 --> 01:17:44,119
was playing both sides. She's like, I'm gonna find me

1562
01:17:44,279 --> 01:17:46,520
the guy that's gonna make me some more money. Yeah,

1563
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:48,239
she said that right, she was with the other she

1564
01:17:48,359 --> 01:17:54,039
was with the backup quarterback. Now, yeah, she's I can't

1565
01:17:54,199 --> 01:17:55,600
say that phrase. I don't think. I don't think. I

1566
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:57,439
see there's the things on the show. If we were

1567
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,079

01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 7: Mike.

1622
01:20:55,079 --> 01:20:57,199
Speaker 1: That's been emailing you. Oh, thank god, he gives.

1623
01:20:57,319 --> 01:20:59,600
Speaker 2: Apparently he gives a people.

1624
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:00,319
Speaker 1: Named Mike name.

1625
01:21:00,399 --> 01:21:05,239
Speaker 14: But my gut feeling is that the Astros take two

1626
01:21:05,319 --> 01:21:10,279
of three this weekend, uh and the Texans win by

1627
01:21:10,399 --> 01:21:12,960
three and score two defensive touchdowns.

1628
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: Touchdowns? Man, y'all optimistic. Let's go to the super Bowl, baby,

1629
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:27,119
I would love it. Then we would get a red Ross, Liberty, liberty,

1630
01:21:27,159 --> 01:21:31,399
white man, let's go. I wouldn't hold my breath. I

1631
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:33,279
hope for a divisional round loss. What i'd be holding

1632
01:21:33,279 --> 01:21:35,760
my breath for. Thank you Mike very much. Two or

1633
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,359
three against the Yankees, and he's got two defensive touchdowns.

1634
01:21:38,399 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 6: I like that.

1635
01:21:39,319 --> 01:21:42,399
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. Jalen Petrick get one of them? Sure?

1636
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:43,439
Why not sting with the other?

1637
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 8: Sure?

1638
01:21:44,199 --> 01:21:46,640
Speaker 1: Let the secondary do all the heavy lifting. You pitch

1639
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,600
one can pitch back to the other. Last one, James

1640
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:53,279

on the news at noon on Sports Talk seven Honi.

1671
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,119
We'll start things off with a great performance from the

1672
01:23:42,199 --> 01:23:45,199
Astros hitting coaches. They were able to get six hits

1673
01:23:45,239 --> 01:23:48,119
with runners in scoring position, the last of which a

1674
01:23:48,319 --> 01:23:55,960
two run bomb from jose L Tuvey or maybe this

1675
01:23:56,079 --> 01:23:59,760
is not playing a you can't tiss that one good bye?

1676
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:03,840
Oh all right, we're gonna start that over. Let's do

1677
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:08,720
it too. Two and that is hammer dead till that failed.

1678
01:24:10,359 --> 01:24:15,520
You can't kiss that one. Good bob over the Lantrys

1679
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,279
profit boxes a two run shot for Jose al two

1680
01:24:18,359 --> 01:24:22,640
B and an eight three lead for the Astros. Number

1681
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:27,439
twenty four for Jose a wonderful home run off the

1682
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:31,039
bat of jose L two a Astros score eight runs.

1683
01:24:31,199 --> 01:24:35,439
Luis Garcia with a quality start. Maybe things are turning

1684
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,960
for this rotation. We're gonna feel a little bit more

1685
01:24:38,079 --> 01:24:41,479
confident fromer was good his last turn. You got Christian

1686
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,119
Javier over the weekend not allowing a hit in six

1687
01:24:44,239 --> 01:24:46,920
innings and eighty five pitches, Matthew. And then yesterday Luis

1688
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:50,399
Garcia six innings, pitch three earned runs on seventy nine

1689
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,840
pitches economical as well, and a zero shot out to

1690
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:57,079
the several thousand Dorks that did the waves six times

1691
01:24:57,199 --> 01:25:00,279
while the Astros were batting yesterday during the game. It

1692
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:04,640
was close, too, right, Yeah, one run game. I'm sorry, Matt,

1693
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,880
I'm sorry. Also over the weekend, a big week went

1694
01:25:09,159 --> 01:25:15,600
one of college football, unfortunately, headlined by Ohio State's home

1695
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:18,720
win over the Texas Longhorns. They won fourteen to seven.

1696
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,760
Arch Manning not good to start that game, got a

1697
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,079
little bit better, but was on the road going against

1698
01:25:24,119 --> 01:25:27,279
one of the best defenses in the country. Did not

1699
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,319
perform well. Texas A and m beat UTSA forty two

1700
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:34,720
to twenty four. And then you also had Miami defeat

1701
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:39,079
Notre Dame twenty seven to twenty four, and LSU beat

1702
01:25:39,159 --> 01:25:41,279
Clemson as well. But for some reason, I'm not saying

1703
01:25:41,319 --> 01:25:44,920
it that seventeen to ten LSU over Clemson the final

1704
01:25:45,159 --> 01:25:50,159
score there. And I'll give you a second, Matt.

1705
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 6: Over.

1706
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,520
Speaker 1: I know you're very emotional eure upset that I didn't

1707
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:58,520
mention you of HS win, but that was on Thursday. Yeah,

1708
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:03,039
I should do that. Coming up in week two, Sant

1709
01:26:03,119 --> 01:26:08,319
Jose State right here on seven half Visit's DKR eleven

1710
01:26:08,399 --> 01:26:12,439
am on ABC. Why do you want any part of

1711
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:17,279
that roaster? Oh? Also, Matt I did not mention that

1712
01:26:18,039 --> 01:26:21,880
the University of North Carolina, as the red carpet was

1713
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,720
rolled out for Bill Belichick on ESPN on Monday Night,

1714
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:33,479
got embarrassed TCU forty eight to fourteen over younc Bill

1715
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,199
Belichick saying afterwards, we're better than what we thought we

1716
01:26:36,319 --> 01:26:37,840
were tonight, but we have to go out there and

1717
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:39,840
show that and prove it. Nobody's going to do it

1718
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:41,600
for us. We're going to have to do it ourselves,

1719
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,800
and that's what we're going to do. If you're better

1720
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:46,920
than that, you lose the game, like twenty seven to

1721
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:49,319
twenty one, right, you don't lose by thirty four points

1722
01:26:49,359 --> 01:26:56,479
at home? Correct, that's a massive talent misevaluation. Correct, I

1723
01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,479
mean forty eight to fourteen. There's there's no sugarcoating that.

1724
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,039
There certainly is not. I don't know, I don't know

1725
01:27:03,079 --> 01:27:05,880
what else you would say. What a weekend for TCU?

1726
01:27:06,039 --> 01:27:09,760
My goodness, I mean literally, did any anybody care anything

1727
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:13,600
about the frogs? Yeah? They weren't mentioning it, mentioning the

1728
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,199
Frogs at all. It was all about UNC and then well,

1729
01:27:16,319 --> 01:27:19,640
sometimes you gotta remember there's another team playing too. You

1730
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:21,439
gotta go out there and do it, is Bill Belichick said,

1731
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:23,279
which they did not. Yes, that's what you gotta be

1732
01:27:23,279 --> 01:27:26,399
thinking about this weekend for those Spartans against the Longhorns. Yes,

1733
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:28,319
Bartans are flying all that way. They're not coming out

1734
01:27:28,359 --> 01:27:30,000
there just for blank and giggles. They want to win

1735
01:27:30,039 --> 01:27:33,920
that game, all right, Matt. Elsewhere in the news, Micah

1736
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,840
Parsons never planned to sit out the season for the

1737
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,840
Dallas Cowboys, according to his agent, Daily David Mulligeta, on

1738
01:27:42,079 --> 01:27:45,760
in at ESPN's First Take, said he was never going

1739
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:48,720
to sit the season, said Michael loves the game too much.

1740
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,000
He was going to play no matter what. He also said,

1741
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,520
the most important thing for Micah was to be a cowboy.

1742
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:58,920
I don't believe that. Well, he could have signed for

1743
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,439
forty one million a year and the most important thing

1744
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,359
was to be a cowboy. That's exactly right. Most important

1745
01:28:03,399 --> 01:28:06,119
thing was money. Why can't you say that The most

1746
01:28:06,159 --> 01:28:10,399
important thing for me is money? Me myself and I

1747
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:13,760
that's Awso I'm fairly compensated. It's fine, but I'm not

1748
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:17,680
going to overstretch. I know what my value is. Mike

1749
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,000
is like, I think I can get better value somewhere else.

1750
01:28:20,079 --> 01:28:23,079
I will take better value over being a cowboy. Forty

1751
01:28:23,119 --> 01:28:26,239
one million dollars for him was not him being underpaid.

1752
01:28:26,279 --> 01:28:28,439
He just went, He went and tried to find the

1753
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:34,079
banans and he found it. Yes, I mean, and that's okay. Yeah,

1754
01:28:34,079 --> 01:28:35,640
I don't know why he can't say his first priority

1755
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,319
has been a cowboy when he turned down forty one

1756
01:28:37,359 --> 01:28:39,479
million dollars a year to be a cowboy, That's exactly right.

1757
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,279
That's why I always appreciate George Springer. I'm going to

1758
01:28:42,319 --> 01:28:44,600
get me to check. Carrett Cale, I'm gonna get me

1759
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,239
the check. Toronto's nice. Yeah, Toronto's love me this time

1760
01:28:47,239 --> 01:28:47,560
of year.

1761
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 6: All right.

1762
01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:51,399
Speaker 1: Elsewhere, Man, we got some college football news. We have

1763
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:58,560
a spat between two head coaches, Mike Gundhy Oklaho mistake

1764
01:28:59,079 --> 01:29:04,239
taking shots Dan Lanning and Oregon. My Gundy talking about

1765
01:29:04,239 --> 01:29:08,239
the money spent, saying Oklahoma spent around seven million it

1766
01:29:08,319 --> 01:29:11,520
seemed the past three years. Talking about the Oregon ducts,

1767
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:14,199
he said, quote, I think Oregon spent close to forty

1768
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:19,520
million last year alone. So that was just one year now,

1769
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,720
I might be off by a few million Gundhi of course,

1770
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:26,319
making several comments about Oregon and the resources, talking about

1771
01:29:26,359 --> 01:29:29,359
money and money, money basically throughout his press conference ahead

1772
01:29:29,359 --> 01:29:33,399
of the clash with the Oregon Ducks this weekend. So

1773
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:35,880
apparently none of that money coming from the Pickens family

1774
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,640
at to any point in Toklahoma state. Huh No, I

1775
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,880
guess not. Let me tell you some blanket statement. They're

1776
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:47,159
all hypocrites, every one of them are. Danny makes college

1777
01:29:47,159 --> 01:29:51,319
football go around, period. Dan Lanning responded to the comments, quote,

1778
01:29:51,319 --> 01:29:52,600
if you want to be a top ten team in

1779
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:57,079
college football, you better be invested in winning. We spend

1780
01:29:57,279 --> 01:30:01,439
to win. Some people saved to have an excuse for

1781
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:04,760
why they don't. I can't speak on their situation. I

1782
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,079
have no idea what they got in their pockets over there.

1783
01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:11,560
So the dude that runs Oregon nice gonna say get

1784
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:13,520
your white up, son. He's eighty two years old, right,

1785
01:30:13,600 --> 01:30:16,119
something like that. Phil Night, he's in his mid eighties.

1786
01:30:16,199 --> 01:30:16,359
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1787
01:30:16,399 --> 01:30:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when he dies, is he can just gonna

1788
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:21,880
give all the money? No, Oregon is eighty seven. Ear

1789
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:23,760
marked a lot of his money for different things. I

1790
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:27,560
can't remember exactly what. Yeah, he's eighty seven. Google says,

1791
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:31,479
wait in a long time how Dan Lanning says, yeah,

1792
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:33,640
we're not pocket watching. We can't. We're not worried about

1793
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:38,319
those poores over there. H that's the proper response from

1794
01:30:38,399 --> 01:30:43,680
Dan Lanning. Oh Man Kirby Smart made similar references to

1795
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:49,039
Oregon's resources last year during SEC media Days. As I

1796
01:30:49,159 --> 01:30:51,760
told you last week, Ross, when you are spending as

1797
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,359
much money as some of these schools are, you're either

1798
01:30:54,399 --> 01:30:56,560
gonna get one or two responses from the general public

1799
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,760
that don't follow those schools. If you spend the money, well,

1800
01:31:00,079 --> 01:31:02,239
dull how you're supposed to win, You spend on the money,

1801
01:31:02,279 --> 01:31:04,720
and if you don't win and you spend all the money,

1802
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:07,159
then you're really ridiculed. Like Texas Tech is in a

1803
01:31:07,239 --> 01:31:12,359
no win situation. Nobody you better win there because nobody

1804
01:31:12,359 --> 01:31:13,760
would choose to go to tex Tech. I mean, I

1805
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:17,359
love text Tech, but nobody's choosing to go there over

1806
01:31:17,479 --> 01:31:19,880
the blue blood over the blue bloods. But now they're

1807
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:22,319
in the blue blood territory because that dude, Cody Campbell

1808
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:24,680
is cutting his writing checks and he's also on TV

1809
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,479
commercial every five seconds. One more quote from Dan Lanny.

1810
01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:30,800
I'm sure U. T. Martin didn't have as much money

1811
01:31:31,279 --> 01:31:35,560
as them last week and they played, so we'll play

1812
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:40,000
it out. There's some spiciness in the old college football

1813
01:31:40,079 --> 01:31:44,640
world calling them out for scheduling U TE Martin. Well,

1814
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:47,000
how about Indiana? Like the coach show, what's the guy's name?

1815
01:31:47,159 --> 01:31:50,079
Kind of cranky guy Signetti or whatever? You see he's

1816
01:31:50,239 --> 01:31:53,760
he's scheduling nothing but pancakes. He doesn't want any any

1817
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:57,560
good competition in non conference play. They've got Old Dominion

1818
01:31:58,119 --> 01:32:03,720
Kanessas State and Indie of State, the Sycamores. You play

1819
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:10,600
a Larry Bird stadium, I believe, Well, Larry Birns State,

1820
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:17,439
what does that look like? Got a rundown smack talking

1821
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,039
your way in? Yeah, welcome to stave. No, you're not

1822
01:32:20,079 --> 01:32:21,920
walking into a lot. We know they had football, but

1823
01:32:22,159 --> 01:32:25,520
Indiana did they found out and cutting that check. I'm

1824
01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:27,439

1840
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:19,279
major albums. I didn't really listen to much of Don

01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:23,760
FM or the one before that, which I can't remember,

1842
01:33:24,239 --> 01:33:26,239

I listened to some, and then the last two albums.

1847
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:39,840

He had. I mean he played for two hours and

1853
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:54,079
twenty minutes. Now he was, you know, taking breaks and

1854
01:33:54,319 --> 01:33:56,159
in between songs, he was like soaking up the crowd

1855

funny because I will do a fair share of recording songs. Yeah,

1902
01:36:37,119 --> 01:36:39,520
and I'm glad I do it after because I was like,

1903
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:41,479
oh my'm wasting my time. And then like, for instance,

1904
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:43,159
I was at dinner with a friend the other day

1905
01:36:43,199 --> 01:36:47,439
and we were talking about the sphere, sphere, sphere, s fear,

1906
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:50,560
s fear, We'll talk about the sphere in Las Vegas.

1907
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:52,520
And I was showing him the videos I took up

1908
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:55,640
the Eagles concert. How long were the videos? A minute? Yeah,

1909
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:57,800
I'm gonna tell you. He cha checked out after ten seconds.

1910
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:01,479
But I mean he's like, this is incredible. I said, yeah. No,

1911
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:04,479
He's like I gotta go. He's like, oh god, no, no, no, no,

1912
01:37:05,119 --> 01:37:07,039
nobody wants to see the last fifteen seconds of your

1913
01:37:07,239 --> 01:37:10,239
your your minute long concert video. The problem isn't just

1914
01:37:10,319 --> 01:37:12,239
that for fifteen The problem, I said, is that some

1915
01:37:12,359 --> 01:37:14,319
of the songs, some of the videos that erace because

1916
01:37:14,319 --> 01:37:16,039
I was singing in the background. I'm a big singer.

1917
01:37:16,159 --> 01:37:18,600
Con did you erase them? Because I don't about the feeling, Matt,

1918
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:21,399
I'm embarrassed myself. Okay. By the way, that's about as

1919
01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:23,640
loud as I've ever heard that stadium save for like

1920

concert and everybody's singing the whole songs. Man, it's crazy.

1930
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:59,359
It's cool. It's there's nothing like it. That's how I

1931

was a billy. Absolutely, twenty thousand people singing piano. Man,

1932
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:05,039
it was all good. Yeah, it's cool. There's this very

1933
01:38:05,119 --> 01:38:07,560
unique human experience that we were very privileged and lucky

1934
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:11,439

1938
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,199
And there was a guy who we were talking about

1939
01:38:23,319 --> 01:38:26,000
sports talk radio and he heard of other stations but

1940
01:38:26,119 --> 01:38:29,960
not ours, but he'd never heard of our station. He

1944
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:41,600

01:39:15,239 --> 01:39:16,600
Joe A. Spot is going to join us in a

1958
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:18,840
couple of minutes. Yeah, we're going back to sports here.

1959
01:39:19,159 --> 01:39:20,560
That's why the guys don't listening to shows like you

1960
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,439
guys are talking about sports. We're trying as far our show.

1961
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:25,039
We're trying. We're talking to ninety percent of the time.

1962
01:39:25,199 --> 01:39:27,399
I'm sorry. The weekend was here in Houston, A big deal.

1963
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:29,960
It was a huge deal. Oh you know, there was

1964
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:32,079
not an apry. We'll we will cuss and discuss all

1965
01:39:32,119 --> 01:39:34,159
you want. There was not an empty seat in that stadium.

1966
01:39:34,319 --> 01:39:38,239
It's good for the two days, all right, Uh money, Yeah,

1967
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:40,600
Astro's gonna make some of how many Yankee fans are

1968
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:41,720
gonna be in the game. By the way, the next

1969
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:45,800
three days it's midweek, school's in session. You would think

1970
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,159
all of the diehard Yankee fans because they're not traveled

1971
01:39:48,199 --> 01:39:50,279
down here. I think it'll be I hope, think it'll

1972
01:39:50,279 --> 01:39:52,960
be like thirty thirty five plus today, right. I think

1973
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:54,279
the crowds will be get I'm just worried about the

1974
01:39:54,359 --> 01:39:58,560
Yankee infiltration. Oh okay, Yankee fans. Were you worried about

1975
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:00,399
fights in the stands? No, I'm just wor worried about

1976
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:02,880
just hearing about a judge goes deep the roar of

1977
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:04,920
the crowd. Remember when that Astros fan got his head

1978
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:09,760
beat like by the Dodgers fan like a speedbag. That's

1979
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:12,479
not good. It's like, we don't we do not anywhere

1980
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:14,479
Astros gear and get in a fight. You better be

1981
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:16,960
able to fight, because you're getting us crushed across the country.

1982
01:40:17,119 --> 01:40:19,840
That's true. Twelve twenty seven, Joe as spot is next

1983
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:24,039
year on seven ninety, Matt and Ross very happy to

1984
01:40:24,079 --> 01:40:26,760
be joined now by the manager of your Houston Astros.

1985
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:30,680
Nice win yesterday over the Angels. Couple that with the

1986
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,880
Seattle Mariners losing to Tampa Bay and Houston enjoys a

1987
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,159
three game lead opening up a three game series with

1988
01:40:36,199 --> 01:40:39,000
the Yankees. Skip is with us, Joe. It's Matt and Ross.

1989
01:40:39,039 --> 01:40:41,479
Good afternoon. Do you congratulations on the win? And I

1990
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:44,800
thought I wanted you to take our audience into the

1991
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:47,720
conversations you've had with Luis Garcia, and maybe not in

1992
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:49,840
just the last twenty four hours, with the last couple

1993
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:52,439
of years, because a lot of guys could have said,

1994
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:54,039
you know what, Maron was not meant to be and

1995
01:40:54,079 --> 01:40:56,479
I thought some of your postgame comments kind of explained

1996
01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:00,479
that this was a long physical and mental grind for

1997
01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:01,920
him to come back to where he was and was

1998
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:03,199
able to pitch for you yesterday.

1999
01:41:04,399 --> 01:41:08,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, And you know, during during that period, you know,

2000
01:41:08,359 --> 01:41:11,760
I've seen players in my experience where they start creating,

2001
01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:15,199
you know, these doubts and insecurities about am I able

2002
01:41:15,319 --> 01:41:17,039
going to be able to get back on the mound right,

2003
01:41:17,319 --> 01:41:21,680
especially after a few setbacks that he had throughout his recovery,

2004
01:41:22,199 --> 01:41:24,840
and they starts taking getting themselves and and and and

2005
01:41:25,039 --> 01:41:28,119
for us, for me who have known Louis for a

2006
01:41:28,279 --> 01:41:31,279
very long time, and knowing you know, the character of

2007
01:41:31,399 --> 01:41:34,479
the human and how strong mentally he is, and you know,

2008
01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:37,359
a man of faith, you know, it's for us to

2009
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:40,079
continue to encourage them that things are going to be okay.

2010
01:41:40,239 --> 01:41:43,880
It's going to take some time. And and when you

2011
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:47,520
see someone overcome those challenging and getting back on you know,

2012
01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:52,920
seeing him back pitching again, you know, it's it's special

2013
01:41:53,279 --> 01:41:55,239
because these guys have worked really hard to get to

2014
01:41:55,319 --> 01:41:57,760
the major leagues to have success of the major leagues

2015
01:41:57,760 --> 01:41:59,600
we have seen Louis been a really good pitcher here

2016
01:41:59,680 --> 01:42:02,199
for me, many many years and just to see him

2017
01:42:02,199 --> 01:42:04,640
accomplished what he did yesterday, it was a very special moment.

2018
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:07,760
Speaker 1: You know, Joe, I don't want to give away company secrets,

2019
01:42:07,840 --> 01:42:11,000
but people are like, well, you know, his velocity wasn't

2020
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:13,560
as good as it was pre injury. And I'm thinking, well,

2021
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:15,359
my god, his arm has been in a sling for

2022
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:17,800
a long period of time and maybe he'll never be

2023
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:21,439
to that point. But have you been told about what

2024
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:23,199
that could be or is he going to be a

2025
01:42:23,239 --> 01:42:25,199
guy that can tap out at ninety two? And let

2026
01:42:25,279 --> 01:42:26,720
me tell you, Joe, as you know, there are guys

2027
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:28,800
in Major League Baseball as long as the command is good,

2028
01:42:29,239 --> 01:42:30,760
you can live with ninety two at the big leagues.

2029
01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:34,039
Speaker 7: You know, for me, this is what I tell everyone, like,

2030
01:42:34,159 --> 01:42:35,600
we need to give him time.

2031
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,119
Speaker 4: It's two years. This guy hasn't pitched on a major

2032
01:42:39,199 --> 01:42:39,640
league mount.

2033
01:42:40,159 --> 01:42:43,199
Speaker 7: He has over you know, he has had setbacks. He's

2034
01:42:43,239 --> 01:42:44,920
coming back from a very ugly injury.

2035
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:47,600
Speaker 3: Sometime he takes pictures time to.

2036
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:51,000
Speaker 1: Get back to their normal, you know, Vlo and.

2037
01:42:51,359 --> 01:42:54,359
Speaker 7: And you know show what they show two years ago.

2038
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:57,680
For me is I was as proud of the fact

2039
01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:00,920
that he works his tail off to get back on

2040
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,840
the mount and through six innings, I guess a goot

2041
01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:06,960
lineup and we should you celebrate that the VLO that

2042
01:43:07,079 --> 01:43:09,319
all this stuff, we just got to give us some time.

2043
01:43:10,119 --> 01:43:12,039
Speaker 1: I think it's a very fair assessment. Joe spotted with

2044
01:43:12,119 --> 01:43:14,960
us here on Sports Talk seven ninety. You've had of

2045
01:43:15,039 --> 01:43:17,319
the last week's skip, a lot of guys get on

2046
01:43:17,399 --> 01:43:19,920
the base pass the runners in scoring position. Numbers were

2047
01:43:20,039 --> 01:43:23,039
just not to your level. And I'm sure the frustrations

2048
01:43:24,119 --> 01:43:26,159
yesterday was one off, but I think if you're going

2049
01:43:26,199 --> 01:43:28,399
to win this division, you got to have the numbers better.

2050
01:43:29,159 --> 01:43:29,880
Is an approach?

2051
01:43:30,239 --> 01:43:30,439
Speaker 6: Is it?

2052
01:43:31,359 --> 01:43:31,600
Speaker 5: Tell me?

2053
01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:33,199
Speaker 1: Tell me where it is. I don't even know what

2054
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:36,760
possibilities are about why this team has struggled at times,

2055
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:39,520
especially in the last week, with getting guys on but

2056
01:43:39,640 --> 01:43:41,039
not able to touch the pay station.

2057
01:43:42,279 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2058
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:44,199
Speaker 7: And you know what for me is like we are

2059
01:43:44,319 --> 01:43:47,279
getting we're getting the guys on. So our approach when

2060
01:43:47,279 --> 01:43:51,600
we're trying to get people on base, understanding our capabilities

2061
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:55,720
and our strength ice individuals and as a team, we

2062
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,239
have really good approaches, but one people get on base,

2063
01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:01,920
sometimes we tend to get away from who we are

2064
01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:05,279
as individuals and know our strength and witnesses and also

2065
01:44:05,359 --> 01:44:06,520
recognize what pictures are.

2066
01:44:06,399 --> 01:44:09,159
Speaker 1: Trying to do to us. So when we when we.

2067
01:44:09,239 --> 01:44:12,239
Speaker 7: Try to do a bit more of what we can

2068
01:44:12,399 --> 01:44:15,800
do and we try to get the big hit when

2069
01:44:15,840 --> 01:44:19,000
we don't really need to. We could just get what

2070
01:44:19,119 --> 01:44:21,960
the pictures gives us. Let the guy on deck get

2071
01:44:22,039 --> 01:44:25,279
the jump done. But sometimes in the moment, we want

2072
01:44:25,359 --> 01:44:27,840
to be we want to be in that spot. We

2073
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:29,199
want to be the hero, we want to get the

2074
01:44:29,199 --> 01:44:29,520
big hit.

2075
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 4: And I appreciate that about the players.

2076
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 7: We want to be in the moment, and we want

2077
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,239
our guys to have that desire to be in that spot.

2078
01:44:35,319 --> 01:44:38,880
But also you have to kind of control yourself, your

2079
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:41,720
emotions and get pitches that you can handle, because the

2080
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:44,520
pictures they recognize that, and they want to try to

2081
01:44:45,159 --> 01:44:47,560
get us to, you know, swing at pitches that they're

2082
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:48,279
not our pitches.

2083
01:44:49,199 --> 01:44:52,159
Speaker 1: Astro's manager Joe A. Spotta with us here on Sports

2084
01:44:52,239 --> 01:44:54,960
Talk seven ninety yord On Alvarez looking pretty good at

2085
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,399
the plate, looks like he's drawn a lot of walks,

2086
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,159
had the home run as well. Just overall, how your

2087
01:45:00,239 --> 01:45:02,920
conversations when been like with him? Is he just back

2088
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:04,680
to the same old Jordan or is there still a

2089
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:05,680
little bit of work to be done.

2090
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think he you know, he is

2091
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,000
physically and mentally in a good spot.

2092
01:45:11,239 --> 01:45:13,640
Speaker 7: I think we need to steal monitor.

2093
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:14,319
Speaker 1: He's worklow.

2094
01:45:14,399 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 4: He has missed four months before returning, and.

2095
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:20,279
Speaker 7: We want to make sure that we have him there

2096
01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:23,159
for for this, you know, for this month, and and

2097
01:45:23,319 --> 01:45:27,119
and and and postseason, if you know, if we get

2098
01:45:27,199 --> 01:45:29,520
to that point where we could play deeping to October.

2099
01:45:30,399 --> 01:45:33,039
Speaker 3: We want to make sure that we we take care

2100
01:45:33,079 --> 01:45:34,960
of his body and make sure.

2101
01:45:34,840 --> 01:45:37,720
Speaker 7: That we building him out, we build him up properly,

2102
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:40,720
because we want to keep him from the long run.

2103
01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:43,239
But right now, what I've seen is that that's have

2104
01:45:43,279 --> 01:45:47,000
been really good. He feels good in the outfield, his

2105
01:45:47,119 --> 01:45:50,119
body feels good. But we got to steal monitor. He's

2106
01:45:50,159 --> 01:45:52,479
worklow here as we're trying to get him back and

2107
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:55,520
some of the players who are also working themselves getting

2108
01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:56,039
back here to.

2109
01:45:56,079 --> 01:45:58,119
Speaker 1: Our lineup, and yeah, what is that like for you

2110
01:45:58,199 --> 01:45:59,760
as we go down the stretch, Because we know that

2111
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:03,840
this organization has always wanted to give guys days off

2112
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:07,199
so that you can make sure that they're fresh come October.

2113
01:46:07,319 --> 01:46:09,319
And there's been very good results in a lot of

2114
01:46:09,359 --> 01:46:11,399
deep October runs with that. So what is it like

2115
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:14,760
for you day to day working with players and trainers

2116
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:17,439
and trying to balance keeping guys fresh but also the

2117
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:18,560
pressure of a division race.

2118
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what it's you know, our workload prior

2119
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,359
to the game is also very important. Kind of cutting

2120
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:30,399
down on the amount of early work that we do.

2121
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:33,960
You know, our work in the weight room has changed,

2122
01:46:34,119 --> 01:46:37,960
is more like a recovery, doing some extra stretching, trying

2123
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:40,880
to get these guys a little later arrival to the ballpark,

2124
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:43,760
trying to get them to sleep a little bit longer,

2125
01:46:43,840 --> 01:46:46,119
and trying to stay home and and just try to

2126
01:46:46,199 --> 01:46:49,760
monitor their work well that way, you know, also giving

2127
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:52,199
this guy I'm using the DH spot to kind of

2128
01:46:52,359 --> 01:46:56,079
you know, get these guys off their feet a bit.

2129
01:46:57,439 --> 01:47:00,600
So we you know, it's is a grind, but there's

2130
01:47:00,680 --> 01:47:02,439
ways that we can do it where we could use

2131
01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:05,880
our you know, giving these guys a day off here

2132
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:10,520
and there, and also kind of monitoring our work. You know,

2133
01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:14,560
these guys, they they have a routine, making adjustments to

2134
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:15,720
their pregame routine.

2135
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:16,319
Speaker 4: So where we're not.

2136
01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:19,520
Speaker 7: But when seven o'clock starts refreshing, we know we don't

2137
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:21,640
feel fatigued skip.

2138
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,079
Speaker 1: I think being even keeled as a manager works, whether

2139
01:47:24,119 --> 01:47:27,439
you're talking about a game in April fifteenth, July fifteenth,

2140
01:47:27,640 --> 01:47:29,439
or September fifteenth, which will be coming up for you

2141
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:30,880
in the next couple of weeks. You are still in

2142
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:34,800
a division race, three game lead. How do you manage

2143
01:47:34,920 --> 01:47:38,199
the I'm still Joe Aspota, I'm still the manager. I

2144
01:47:38,319 --> 01:47:42,079
want to make sure the clubhouse is as normalized as possible.

2145
01:47:42,119 --> 01:47:43,800
But we're down to about thirty games left to go.

2146
01:47:44,319 --> 01:47:47,399
You're holding off two teams in division sense of urgency?

2147
01:47:47,520 --> 01:47:49,000
How do you how do you go through that? And

2148
01:47:49,079 --> 01:47:51,520
how did last year, as your first time doing that,

2149
01:47:51,960 --> 01:47:53,840
help you towards you think this year is September run.

2150
01:47:55,640 --> 01:47:56,560
Speaker 6: You know what you know?

2151
01:47:57,039 --> 01:48:00,359
Speaker 7: For me the experience here, the last the last year, uh,

2152
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:04,560
you know, seventy years that I've been here. I've always

2153
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:07,920
seen our guys just being the best towards the end.

2154
01:48:08,119 --> 01:48:11,800
And it's because we have done a really good job

2155
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:15,920
of setting a foundation where we know and we trust

2156
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:19,920
our process, our work, our players for it. You know,

2157
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,199
they they want to see their leaders to be calm

2158
01:48:22,359 --> 01:48:24,039
and composed and understanding that.

2159
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:26,640
Speaker 3: You know, we know the job that we need to

2160
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:27,119
do right.

2161
01:48:27,239 --> 01:48:30,079
Speaker 7: And for me, it's preparing these guys to compete every day,

2162
01:48:30,199 --> 01:48:33,319
providing the information they need every day to be the

2163
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:38,720
best versions of themselves, you know, pushing things back a

2164
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:40,800
little bit so that you stay home and guys listen,

2165
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,000
spend you know, spending hour or two with your family.

2166
01:48:43,119 --> 01:48:45,880
That really helps me when I'm around my family and

2167
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,479
my kids, and takes your mind away from the game,

2168
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:50,920
especially when you're down the stretch, because when they get here,

2169
01:48:51,359 --> 01:48:53,439
it's all hands on deck. They walk through those doors

2170
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:56,560
and its and it's go time and and it's and

2171
01:48:56,720 --> 01:48:59,359
I've seen that in their eyes and in their work.

2172
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:03,359
But also there has to be a balance where they

2173
01:49:03,439 --> 01:49:06,000
can they can relax, and I want them fresh when

2174
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:07,479
they're walking here and understand that.

2175
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,439
Speaker 1: You know, we have to all be in this together.

2176
01:49:11,479 --> 01:49:12,920
We all have to be all in this together.

2177
01:49:13,079 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 12: And we are.

2178
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,680
Speaker 4: And it's a special group, it's a special clubhouse.

2179
01:49:16,720 --> 01:49:19,640
Speaker 7: And I'm very always, you know, working really hard to

2180
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:22,439
protect what we've built here. For for the last seven

2181
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:23,399
eight years, You've.

2182
01:49:23,279 --> 01:49:25,399
Speaker 1: Had to use a variety of starting pitchers. You've had

2183
01:49:25,680 --> 01:49:28,840
numerous up and down players at Triple A to here

2184
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:32,000
and back and forth you've had different guys. It feels

2185
01:49:32,079 --> 01:49:36,159
like to me, Joe, that there are still some roster spots. Again,

2186
01:49:36,159 --> 01:49:37,640
I'm gonna put the car before the horse here for

2187
01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:40,000
you for the playoff run, with the series development and

2188
01:49:40,079 --> 01:49:42,880
going to the postseason, I feel like there's gonna be

2189
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:46,279
competition during this time. Is that a fair assessment to

2190
01:49:46,319 --> 01:49:48,880
say that there are no There are some games, but

2191
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:50,760
there are probably a lot more guys that we should

2192
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:52,359
be thinking about what they do in September for you,

2193
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:54,319
if they want to play for you in the postseason.

2194
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:56,239
Speaker 5: You know what?

2195
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 7: This is the way I this is our conversation with

2196
01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:02,039
my players is you know, they're doing everything in their

2197
01:50:02,079 --> 01:50:03,479
power to get to the postseason.

2198
01:50:03,560 --> 01:50:05,640
Speaker 4: When we get to the postseason, we're blessed to get

2199
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:07,840
to that point. We'll make those decisions.

2200
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:10,359
Speaker 7: But right now is if you do your job and

2201
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:14,000
you play your best, you're making a case for yourself.

2202
01:50:14,239 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 1: And that's all it matters.

2203
01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:19,159
Speaker 7: Playing forty days game, doing whatever it takes to win

2204
01:50:19,239 --> 01:50:21,680
today's game, and tomorrow will take care you know, we'll

2205
01:50:21,680 --> 01:50:22,479
take care of yourself.

2206
01:50:23,199 --> 01:50:25,880
Speaker 1: Great stuff is always good luck with the Astros and

2207
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:27,800
Yankee series coming up, and look forward talking to me

2208
01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:29,840
to again next Tuesday. We appreciate the time as always,

2209
01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,319
Bye bye fellows, thank you, thank you, Joe appreciate. Joe

2210
01:50:33,359 --> 01:50:35,840
spotted with us here on Sports Talk seven, and I

2211
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,119
want to get a little bit more into what my

2212
01:50:37,199 --> 01:50:40,439
last question was, ok because I do believe there are

2213
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:44,960
guys fighting for spots on this roster playoff time. It's

2214
01:50:45,039 --> 01:50:48,399
not a we've had twenty six the whole way. Let's

2215
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:50,159
go with these twenty six. I think there's going to

2216
01:50:50,199 --> 01:50:52,199
be some very difficult decisions coming up, and we'll go

2217
01:50:52,319 --> 01:50:53,560
through some of those in a minute. And you have

2218
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,399
guys still coming back and just getting back and then

2219
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:58,800
like guys like Jake Myers coming back to That's what

2220
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:02,600
I'm saying. It's it's that roster construction is gonna be now.

2221
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:06,159
If they get there, it could be fun, but there's

2222
01:51:06,159 --> 01:51:12,840
gonna be some upset folks and well, okay, that's baseball baby. Sorry.

2223
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:16,560
Twelve forty three, just throwing it out there. Twelve forty

2224
01:51:16,600 --> 01:51:21,079
three Sports talks about right as a white person, I

2225
01:51:21,119 --> 01:51:25,079
can dance to this song? You can? But can you dance? Well? Yes,

2226
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:30,840
jam This is his most popular song, correct, I would say,

2227
01:51:31,239 --> 01:51:34,079
probably biggest hit of all time. But I can't fiel

2228
01:51:34,119 --> 01:51:36,279
my Face with a mega hit. Okay, so that those

2229
01:51:36,319 --> 01:51:39,399
are his two most popular, probably, but he's got seven

2230
01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:41,880
number one hits. Maddie, let's you sell the man short.

2231
01:51:41,960 --> 01:51:44,439
But let's go to okay, just because that's all. Yeah,

2232
01:51:45,199 --> 01:51:47,520
I'm a consumer of life. Oh that's that. We'll put

2233
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:49,560
that on your gravestone. Let's go to me. Go ahead.

2234
01:51:50,359 --> 01:51:52,159
How long did it take for each one of those

2235
01:51:52,199 --> 01:51:54,920
two songs that get played? Uh, I can't feel my

2236
01:51:55,039 --> 01:51:57,760
Face was first, Probably thirty minutes. I can find the

2237
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:00,319
set list, and I think the Blinding Light it was

2238
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:05,439
the last thirty minutes. It's really a catchy tune. There's

2239
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:08,039
a white person. I would endorse it. Starboard he played

2240
01:52:08,319 --> 01:52:10,479
star Boy, he played early. That was a number one hit.

2241
01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:13,800
I feel it. Come In, Come In was one of

2242
01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:18,600
my favorites with that punk great song. He played so too.

2243
01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:18,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2244
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 1: Probably yeah. I mean, obviously he's piping. If he fills

2245
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:25,720
up a large NFL stadium. I think he did. He

2246
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:28,159
might have done three shows at Jerry World. It was

2247
01:52:28,199 --> 01:52:32,800
either two or three. Yeah, that's crazy. Let me look

2248
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:35,880
at the tour. I mean he's not playing in some

2249
01:52:36,079 --> 01:52:38,920
you know, he's not playing at the uh the local

2250
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:43,920
casino in wichital He's not at the raffle Res South Maine. No,

2251
01:52:44,079 --> 01:52:47,079
he's not. He's not at that place up on the

2252
01:52:47,119 --> 01:52:49,479
North Side where they charge you horrific amount of money

2253
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:52,399
to see bands that serve chicken fried steak for hundred

2254
01:52:52,399 --> 01:52:55,399
and four hours. Well, this tour has been going since

2255
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:59,720
twenty twenty two. My god, he's been the road that long. No,

2256
01:53:00,239 --> 01:53:02,079
he's got to take some time off. Yeah, I mean,

2257
01:53:02,159 --> 01:53:08,079
I guess there's different leves, a Latin American leg, Australian leg. Kid. God,

2258
01:53:09,439 --> 01:53:11,119
I'm trying to find how many days it was Two

2259
01:53:11,199 --> 01:53:13,159
days at at and t good for him. Two days

2260
01:53:13,199 --> 01:53:15,439
of energy, all right, So let's get to the position

2261
01:53:16,239 --> 01:53:21,680
interesting battles starting rotation for the playoffs, and we will

2262
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:24,119
be doing this for you to multiple times. Four days.

2263
01:53:24,159 --> 01:53:28,319
It's so fine. So that's got to be at least

2264
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:32,279
three hundred thousand people. Since he made thirty five million

2265
01:53:32,319 --> 01:53:34,960
dollars in those four days he personally collects or the

2266
01:53:35,039 --> 01:53:39,159
concert says, that's how much it generates. Revenue generates for him.

2267
01:53:39,319 --> 01:53:42,319
He's doing okay, alright, that's the way he too for

2268
01:53:42,399 --> 01:53:44,880
three years. Yeah, alright, go ahead, back to base back

2269
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:53,600
to baseball. I still say Hunter one two.

2270
01:53:54,079 --> 01:53:54,279
Speaker 8: Huh.

2271
01:53:55,119 --> 01:53:59,439
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go Erighetty three right now. I mean,

2272
01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:02,199
we're just doing We're doing the live ratings, Matt, the

2273
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:05,560
live ratings. It's Javier. It can change. But again, at

2274
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:07,760
least Arrogony has given me to the sixth inning twice.

2275
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:10,680
But who's been in more playoff wars he has, and

2276
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:15,600
Araghenny's walk numbers are still not very good. But if

2277
01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:18,279
Javier adds it to it, if Garcia adds the mix,

2278
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:23,600
I mean, I think there are very few Lance mccullor

2279
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:27,760
j Junior fans around anymore. But there's not a spot

2280
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:30,239
for him in this in the wildcard series. My colors

2281
01:54:30,239 --> 01:54:35,800
Island is well, it's I'm building my I'm building my canoe. Yeah,

2282
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:40,800
it's wow. I'm sad. I'm really rooted for I really

2283
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:43,600
wanted it to work out, but it's just not working out.

2284
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:45,920
I mean, seventh inning in the bullpen in the game

2285
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:48,119
the other day was good. Eighth inning, gave up the

2286
01:54:48,159 --> 01:54:49,960
double to Trott and he threw the ball away at

2287
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:52,760
the first base and that didn't help the cause. Either. No,

2288
01:54:54,479 --> 01:54:58,239
I you know, I I I think he's untradeable. But

2289
01:54:58,439 --> 01:55:02,439
to me, if I was Lance mc colors, I'd try

2290
01:55:02,479 --> 01:55:04,359
to find somewhere else to play next year. I just

2291
01:55:04,439 --> 01:55:07,920
think if a change of scenery could keep him alive,

2292
01:55:08,039 --> 01:55:10,359
because it feels like to me, he's just washed here.

2293
01:55:11,199 --> 01:55:13,399
He's tradeable to the point where you have to send

2294
01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:15,520
like fifteen you'd have to cover like fifteen of the

2295
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:17,800
eighteen million or if not more. I don't even know

2296
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:19,800
how that would work. I don't know the whole economics

2297
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:21,840
and baseball can get a decent prospect at right, you'd

2298
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:24,840
have to get early anything. It'd be like a rough trade,

2299
01:55:25,039 --> 01:55:27,159
like we thought. We would say it's impossible to trade

2300
01:55:27,199 --> 01:55:30,520
Rafael Montero, But would you just send a bunch of cash? Yeah, yep.

2301
01:55:33,359 --> 01:55:35,840
You send him with some bad team, try to get

2302
01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:39,319
some a ball prospect and pray. But at the very

2303
01:55:39,439 --> 01:55:41,680
least you're getting salary relief, which we know Jim Crane

2304
01:55:41,720 --> 01:55:44,840
is very interested in getting. Let me give you another battle.

2305
01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:53,439
Tell me where there's a roster that has Keratini. Now,

2306
01:55:53,560 --> 01:55:57,520
maybe there Maybe the answer is there is a roster Caratini,

2307
01:55:57,840 --> 01:56:06,720
Dubon or Reus, cam Smith and Jake Myers and hayesus

2308
01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:09,920
Sanchez and I feel like we're one over the limit here.

2309
01:56:14,439 --> 01:56:17,279
I guess we'd have to go through the numbers. It

2310
01:56:17,399 --> 01:56:20,880
feels like you can fit them all on there. I

2311
01:56:21,000 --> 01:56:23,279
mean very rarely do you? But you don't need the eco.

2312
01:56:23,399 --> 01:56:26,359
Well is there there's limits on the rosters nowadays? Well

2313
01:56:26,399 --> 01:56:28,319
it's twenty six for the playoffs ya, No, but I

2314
01:56:28,359 --> 01:56:30,199
mean as far as picture numbers, yeah, yeah, it's half

2315
01:56:30,239 --> 01:56:35,760
and a half. Yeah hmmm, because let's go to the

2316
01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:37,800
outfield now in the only days you would have fewer

2317
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:41,560
pictures early you have more. But now can you do that? Don't?

2318
01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:43,600
I don't. I'll have the double check. I thought I

2319
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:45,319
had to be still equal to equal, but again I

2320
01:56:45,359 --> 01:56:50,039
could be wrong about that. It just feels like we've

2321
01:56:50,079 --> 01:56:54,119
got one too many position players maximum of thirteen pitchers,

2322
01:56:55,039 --> 01:56:58,119
so you could carry twelve in theory, and probably they'd

2323
01:56:58,159 --> 01:57:02,159
be the better idea because you Dubon helps you because

2324
01:57:02,199 --> 01:57:06,439
he's a jack of all trades, play multiple positions. How

2325
01:57:06,479 --> 01:57:08,319
many left handers are you going to see in the

2326
01:57:08,359 --> 01:57:10,600
playoffs in that first round? And if that's the case,

2327
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:13,880
this hate I mean, you can't take Hatu Sanchez off

2328
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:17,560
the off the roster, No, because he's hitting in theory

2329
01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:21,920
better than Cam Smith is. Does Cam Smith absolutely one

2330
01:57:22,399 --> 01:57:25,119
make the roster if you've got If you're worried about

2331
01:57:25,520 --> 01:57:29,039
Jordan slash Alto being your left fielder, you know what

2332
01:57:29,079 --> 01:57:31,520
I'm saying. I think so, I'm just talking off the

2333
01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:33,279
top of my head here, but it feels like there's

2334
01:57:33,279 --> 01:57:36,399
a little bit of a Even if he doesn't hit Fluster,

2335
01:57:36,600 --> 01:57:40,439
he provides you so much defensively. Cam Smith. People people

2336
01:57:40,479 --> 01:57:43,399
are learning not to run on him. Yeah they are, Yeah,

2337
01:57:43,479 --> 01:57:47,159
they are. I hope all these things we're talking about

2338
01:57:47,279 --> 01:57:49,800
are legitimate issues that Joe's gonna have to worry about

2339
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:55,520
in about four weeks. Hey, we'll have a clear picture soon.

2340
01:57:58,199 --> 01:58:03,880
Hm hmmm, Yeah, I don't know. I mean Urius and

2341
01:58:04,079 --> 01:58:09,119
do Bond both utility guys, but urious more infield. You don't.

2342
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:15,760
You don't typically carry two utility infielders now back in

2343
01:58:15,800 --> 01:58:20,800
the day did they do? And you can't carry two catchers,

2344
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:22,720
which is that generally you have some guy at the

2345
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:24,880
end of the roster you never used in the year's past.

2346
01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:27,159
It was, you know, Derek Fisher or Jake morrisnik was

2347
01:58:27,159 --> 01:58:29,159
that white guy who used to run really fast for

2348
01:58:29,239 --> 01:58:31,960
the astros, and I said, I don't know what what

2349
01:58:32,159 --> 01:58:37,880
era like five years ago? Oh help me out, Derek Fisher. No,

2350
01:58:38,199 --> 01:58:43,079
there was another dude. It was really fast. Oh help

2351
01:58:43,119 --> 01:58:45,880
me out, Houston. There was a guy that would uh

2352
01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:48,439
it was it was it was it the center fielder.

2353
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:51,520
But they went to the the guardians. Oh you're talking

2354
01:58:51,520 --> 01:58:52,319
about Miles Straw.

2355
01:58:52,920 --> 01:58:53,039
Speaker 6: Was it?

2356
01:58:53,119 --> 01:58:56,079
Speaker 1: Milestraw was like the deep Straw was starting. But wasn't

2357
01:58:56,119 --> 01:58:58,319
he like the designated fast white guy off the bench

2358
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:00,119
that would, I mean, would come in for pin. You

2359
01:59:00,319 --> 01:59:02,800
had some of those. Maybe that was who it was. Okay,

2360
01:59:04,119 --> 01:59:06,840
I'm trying to pull up guys. Yeah, he was kind

2361
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:09,039
of like that. Maybe maybe I was thinking, my man,

2362
01:59:09,039 --> 01:59:11,119
I forgot about this guy. I remember super Jack Mayfield

2363
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:12,960
Jack make you mean the governor?

2364
01:59:14,039 --> 01:59:14,159
Speaker 6: Uh?

2365
01:59:14,359 --> 01:59:17,119
Speaker 1: Some whoever called him super that's ridiculous. I mean he

2366
01:59:17,199 --> 01:59:20,359
was purely average, a best oh man, remember Andre scrub No,

2367
01:59:20,640 --> 01:59:22,439
don't no, don't do this to us. He was decent

2368
01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:25,159
for a while. All right, final hour of the Matt

2369
01:59:25,199 --> 01:59:28,239
Thamas showing Ross coming up. Stop going through Rando from

2370
01:59:28,279 --> 01:59:30,760
asks you for asking me for the five years ago

2371
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:36,239
about Okay, Milestro, it's enterprising young man. He was quat shifty.

2372
01:59:37,039 --> 01:59:42,680
He got you youngeras he did, and somebody else could.

2373
01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:44,520
What was the other piece of that? Oh no, that's

2374
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:46,840
gonna bother me. Go look up the trade while we

2375
01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:49,279
take this short time out back of the final hour.

2376
01:59:49,319 --> 01:59:52,439
Believe it or not, today it's all things on right. Yeah,

2377
01:59:52,479 --> 01:59:55,319
and then he punched a wall. Well, I mean yeah,

2378
01:59:56,600 --> 01:59:59,479
it's gonna happen to anybody. Seven one three two one

2379
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,680
two five seven Natti's seven one three two one two

2380
02:00:03,039 --> 02:00:07,720
five seven nine zero Astros on the brain, college football

2381
02:00:07,720 --> 02:00:10,039
on the brain. And by the way, Ryan Clark with

2382
02:00:10,119 --> 02:00:13,880
a holatiously hot take about your favorite college quarterback sports Harve,

2383
02:00:15,079 --> 02:00:18,199
That's fine, they're coming. You know that, don't you look?

2384
02:00:18,199 --> 02:00:19,800
If he's not good enough, he's not good enough. He

2385
02:00:19,920 --> 02:00:22,760
absolutely got too much hype and it was overhyped. I

2386
02:00:23,199 --> 02:00:26,279
said this all off season. Do you know the reason

2387
02:00:26,359 --> 02:00:29,279
for that? I said? Why I was so good? Why

2388
02:00:29,359 --> 02:00:34,000
didn't he unsweet? Unseat mediocre? Quinn yours? Do you know

2389
02:00:34,079 --> 02:00:37,039
why we we we overtalk him because his last name,

2390
02:00:37,319 --> 02:00:39,640
because we don't we don't know anything about college football.

2391
02:00:39,720 --> 02:00:41,960
We use a collective universe, don't know college football? Well,

2392
02:00:42,239 --> 02:00:46,439
Chris Gordon does, but he's the one, okay, Cole Thompson does.

2393
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:50,600
That's two okay, but look at them. You more of

2394
02:00:50,640 --> 02:00:52,520
an sl locked on sec guy or an sec and

2395
02:00:52,600 --> 02:00:53,119
filtered guy.

2396
02:00:53,239 --> 02:00:53,439
Speaker 11: Hmm.

2397
02:00:53,560 --> 02:00:56,359
Speaker 1: We had that debate where you were gone seven three

2398
02:00:56,479 --> 02:01:01,560
two one two five sevenatti two one seven ninety. It

2399
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:03,640
is Matt and Ross for the final hour of the show.

2400
02:01:04,479 --> 02:01:08,359
All right. So I don't have much respect for you know,

2401
02:01:08,399 --> 02:01:10,039
I was thinking about this. I don't much respect for anybody.

2402
02:01:10,079 --> 02:01:12,479
Hes to Ben. I I herbs you. I don't mind

2403
02:01:14,439 --> 02:01:16,920
Nick Saban's cool. He's got to stop color on his hair.

2404
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:19,439
It's just getting so dark now, it's ridiculous. I like

2405
02:01:19,560 --> 02:01:24,680
dan Olovsky is good, even if he was criticizing, Uh,

2406
02:01:25,399 --> 02:01:28,800
Steve's a keasying over the weekend, that's okay, good. Disagree.

2407
02:01:29,039 --> 02:01:30,920
So he's talking about putting the training wheels on, which

2408
02:01:31,279 --> 02:01:32,960
you know, so I go to the for you tap

2409
02:01:33,039 --> 02:01:34,640
and that's a mistake on my part, And it says

2410
02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:37,319
the following arch man. This is Ryan Clark. And Ryan

2411
02:01:37,399 --> 02:01:40,560
Clark got in trouble for something during the summertime, right,

2412
02:01:40,760 --> 02:01:43,399
he was gotting a beef with somebody. It was about Sanders.

2413
02:01:43,479 --> 02:01:50,560
I guess it was about skin color, stuffy colorism. Oh,

2414
02:01:51,479 --> 02:01:54,159
that's out of my realm of expertise. So I'm gonna

2415
02:01:54,159 --> 02:01:56,159
stay away from why I can tell you that my

2416
02:01:57,399 --> 02:02:01,239
my name's Paul. That's between y'all. My name's leave me alone.

02:02:19,319 --> 02:02:23,680
constantly stroked, so please follow him at sports Empt. Not

2424
02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:26,319
telling me he's spitting facts. I mean, it is what

2425
02:02:26,439 --> 02:02:29,039
it is, all right. So here's Ryan Clark really quick,

2426
02:02:30,279 --> 02:02:33,000
because everybody in their mother has this opinion about Arch.

2427
02:02:33,359 --> 02:02:35,920
Uh oh. Arch Manning is not a generational talent.

2428
02:02:36,119 --> 02:02:36,319
Speaker 4: Ooo.

2429
02:02:37,279 --> 02:02:41,039
Speaker 1: People place expectations upon him without any evidence. He's not

2430
02:02:41,199 --> 02:02:45,239
Trevor Lawrence or Caleb Williams ooh, who beat out returning

2431
02:02:45,279 --> 02:02:48,600
starters as freshman. Instead, Art sat behind his seventh round

2432
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:51,840
pick for two years. He's a good player who will

2433
02:02:51,880 --> 02:02:54,159
be very good, but let him earn it. Arch has

2434
02:02:54,239 --> 02:02:56,760
never faced top level competition. He didn't play high school

2435
02:02:56,800 --> 02:02:58,680
level ball in Louisiana, nor did he compete in the

2436
02:02:58,760 --> 02:03:01,880
high school quarterback circuit. So it'll take time. And that's okay,

2437
02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:04,079
that's from Ryan Clark.

2438
02:03:07,039 --> 02:03:07,279
Speaker 7: Can I.

2439
02:03:12,359 --> 02:03:17,600
Speaker 1: He's so so hot, that's so hot, taky, It is

2440
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:20,720
very Look, he could be first of all, let's say

2441
02:03:20,760 --> 02:03:21,720
he could be. He could be right.

2442
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:22,359
Speaker 7: He could be right.

2443
02:03:22,760 --> 02:03:24,880
Speaker 1: He could be, but you can't make that assessment against

2444
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:27,119
one game against a top five team. But when you're

2445
02:03:27,279 --> 02:03:30,520
on ESPN and your hashtag embrace debate in your suposal,

2446
02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:33,159
we're talking about this on this show. If Ryan Clark

2447
02:03:33,199 --> 02:03:36,359
had a measured, regular take about arch Manning in week one,

2448
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:38,800
we wouldn't be talking about on this show. And I'm

2449
02:03:38,800 --> 02:03:40,159
not saying that you or whatever. You know what I'm

2450
02:03:40,159 --> 02:03:43,600
saying exactly. I'm just because I read it. Respect you.

2451
02:03:44,279 --> 02:03:47,600
Ryan Clark could be right as far as yeah, putting

2452
02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:52,279
generational talent on arch Manning. He's got a generational name,

2453
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:56,840
he's taken a generational path. But there have been no doubt.

2454
02:03:56,920 --> 02:04:00,920
There's been five star quarterback recruits who are supposed to

2455
02:04:00,960 --> 02:04:03,000
be no doubt about it, and they didn't turn out

2456
02:04:03,039 --> 02:04:05,439
to be much of anything. I don't know. Jimmy Clawson

2457
02:04:05,479 --> 02:04:08,640
comes to mind quick. The biggest, no doubt about it,

2458
02:04:08,760 --> 02:04:11,560
five star quarterback recruit before arch Manning was Quinn yours

2459
02:04:12,119 --> 02:04:14,359
and he wasn't that good and he got taken in

2460
02:04:14,439 --> 02:04:20,000
the seventh round. So there's no guarantee of success. Everybody

2461
02:04:20,079 --> 02:04:24,079
in life gets their ceiling some someplace. Some people that

2462
02:04:24,279 --> 02:04:28,079
ceiling is Tom Brady, some people that ceiling is Quinn

2463
02:04:28,119 --> 02:04:37,760
yours or Jimmy Clausen or whoever. I just I don't

2464
02:04:37,800 --> 02:04:42,359
want anyone to judge me after I do something once. Now,

2465
02:04:42,399 --> 02:04:44,600
Grant he had two stars last year. Yes, he did

2466
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:49,479
Louisiana Monroe in Mississippi. So slappy, okay, yeah, sorry, you

2467
02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:52,920
are slash on the road in the shoe. Ohio still

2468
02:04:52,960 --> 02:04:55,680
open up a season. To open up the season with

2469
02:04:55,920 --> 02:04:58,760
Steves Sarkisian keeping the training wheels, which he did, relying

2470
02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:01,800
on the defense, and we can talk about this is

2471
02:05:01,920 --> 02:05:04,760
it would I like him to kind of turn it

2472
02:05:04,840 --> 02:05:07,760
a little bit more loose? Yes? Do I understand a

2473
02:05:07,880 --> 02:05:10,119
coach on the road with one of the best defenses

2474
02:05:10,119 --> 02:05:11,920
in the country saying I'm going to rely on my

2475
02:05:12,039 --> 02:05:15,159
best unit. I also understand that I'm going to tell

2476
02:05:15,199 --> 02:05:18,439
you this. I'm going to assume ross not that I

2477
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:22,319
have the numbers from the three sixty five Sports Dudes

2478
02:05:22,399 --> 02:05:24,680
or whatever the on three guys, but my assumption is

2479
02:05:24,760 --> 02:05:28,680
that when arch Manning was coming out of high school

2480
02:05:28,760 --> 02:05:31,640
and was being recruited by schools across this country, everybody

2481
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:33,039
and the mother would have taken him in a heartbeat.

2482
02:05:33,039 --> 02:05:34,039
Am my fare on that?

2483
02:05:34,439 --> 02:05:34,600
Speaker 6: Yes?

2484
02:05:35,479 --> 02:05:37,439
Speaker 1: So is Ryan Clark telling me that one hundred and

2485
02:05:37,640 --> 02:05:44,520
fifty different colleges thought this guy was so bad that

2486
02:05:44,600 --> 02:05:48,159
we don't want him. Yeah, not true. Everybody from UTAP

2487
02:05:48,319 --> 02:05:52,560
to Memphis to Florida to LSU to Washington probably wanted

2488
02:05:52,680 --> 02:05:54,840
arch Maning as a quarterback, right. That'd be fair to say.

2489
02:05:54,880 --> 02:05:56,840
He had his detractors too. There were people that were

2490
02:05:56,840 --> 02:05:58,840
saying he was overrated and all that stuff. Let me

2491
02:05:58,920 --> 02:06:00,520
ask you this serious question, and I don't mean to

2492
02:06:00,560 --> 02:06:02,520
be rude or stereotypical, but you know we're going to

2493
02:06:02,560 --> 02:06:05,520
do this. Do you think part of it that these

2494
02:06:06,039 --> 02:06:09,680
private high school quarterbacks have a difficult time making the transition?

2495
02:06:09,800 --> 02:06:12,960
There was some talk about that because of the school

2496
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:15,199
that he went to, and Odell Beckham Junior had famously

2497
02:06:15,239 --> 02:06:16,680
gone to that school, but it's not like it was

2498
02:06:16,680 --> 02:06:19,000
a football factory. And a lot of the competition, I

2499
02:06:19,039 --> 02:06:21,159
mean you saw some of the highlights, it looked like

2500
02:06:21,239 --> 02:06:23,119
he was playing some pewee team sometimes. I mean, it

2501
02:06:23,239 --> 02:06:26,840
just did. So there was some discussion about the fact

2502
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:28,720
that is how much of it is his name, how

2503
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:33,479
much of it is his uh is his prospect profile

2504
02:06:33,520 --> 02:06:35,279
as far as you if you change his name to

2505
02:06:35,479 --> 02:06:43,079
Archie Jones. But every single recruiting service had him at

2506
02:06:43,119 --> 02:06:44,640
the very least as one of the number one or

2507
02:06:44,680 --> 02:06:47,000
number two quarterbacks in the code who played private high

2508
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:48,920
school football, by the way, and he did. Yes, So

2509
02:06:49,039 --> 02:06:51,840
you're saw one hundred and fifty schools and I'm wrong,

2510
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:55,359
I'll say one hundred hundred, one hundred schools said we

2511
02:06:55,560 --> 02:06:57,800
believe that arch Manning could be a quarterback of our

2512
02:06:57,840 --> 02:07:01,279
football program. Is that kind of dismayed though, Well, he

2513
02:07:01,319 --> 02:07:03,840
went to a private school that he won't be taken seriously.

2514
02:07:03,880 --> 02:07:06,119
He was number He was number one on twenty four

2515
02:07:06,159 --> 02:07:10,560
to seven sports that year. Number two was Nico Yamayava.

2516
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:14,720
He was the number two. I can't no doubt about it.

2517
02:07:14,840 --> 02:07:17,880
Quarterback and what is his career bit not very good?

2518
02:07:18,079 --> 02:07:21,439
Two schools too correct. Yes, so, I mean there's just

2519
02:07:21,680 --> 02:07:24,239
there's no guarantee and I'm pulling this up. The other

2520
02:07:24,359 --> 02:07:26,960
quarterback is Dante Moore. He committed to UCLA. I don't

2521
02:07:26,960 --> 02:07:28,479
even know where that dude is now. He's at Orgon

2522
02:07:31,399 --> 02:07:33,720
do I Look, it would be foolish for us not

2523
02:07:33,800 --> 02:07:36,359
to say the name hasn't helped him. Foolish. Well, it

2524
02:07:36,439 --> 02:07:41,039
certainly helped him financially as well. Man. The amount of

2525
02:07:41,159 --> 02:07:46,720
commercials its okay? Hey, now I thought it was funny.

2526
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:52,800
Seventeen completions first half, though more more arge commercials than completions. Yeah,

2527
02:07:52,920 --> 02:07:56,640
that's just fairy. They he could have been better. He

2528
02:07:56,760 --> 02:07:59,560
missed some easy throws late. He made some good throws

2529
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:01,840
I mean sorry, he missed some easy throws early, made

2530
02:08:01,920 --> 02:08:08,039
some better throws late, and the interception was bad. The

2531
02:08:08,119 --> 02:08:11,520
interception was bad. Steve east Houston at one nine on

2532
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:14,439
seven ninety Hello Steve, Hey, good at it?

2533

2535
02:08:21,920 --> 02:08:23,960
Speaker 2: Would you? Matt Thomas?

2536
02:08:24,279 --> 02:08:29,159
Speaker 3: Mind having your you know, your colleague there at the

2537
02:08:29,199 --> 02:08:31,760
booths bringing in his dog?

2538
02:08:32,479 --> 02:08:38,119
Speaker 1: Well, I work for some dogs. How about that okay, no,

2539
02:08:38,279 --> 02:08:42,159
I I it's it's kind of a bit now, thank you, Steve.

2540
02:08:42,279 --> 02:08:46,159
I I don't care. I mean the dog is the

2541
02:08:46,279 --> 02:08:50,439
dog is getting a lot of run oh dessending opinion.

2542
02:08:53,359 --> 02:08:55,479
I don't want to be no, no, no, please, because

2543
02:08:55,520 --> 02:08:57,760
that's because if because let me tell you, if there's

2544
02:08:57,760 --> 02:08:59,760
somebody peg out of my control room, get the dog

2545
02:08:59,760 --> 02:09:02,119
out of my control room. I'm sorry. That's what I

2546
02:09:02,159 --> 02:09:04,000
would be saying if I was trying to work a broadcast.

2547
02:09:04,960 --> 02:09:07,920
It's cute, it's fuzzy. I don't need God knows if

2548
02:09:07,960 --> 02:09:11,199
somebody's allergic to pet dander or something. I don't need

2549
02:09:11,319 --> 02:09:14,319
some slobbery and dog all over my control room when

2550
02:09:14,319 --> 02:09:16,800
I'm trying to run a broadcast. It's cute. You can

2551
02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:18,560
bring him on the plane. They treat them better than

2552
02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:22,000
Lee Corso. They treat with the dog flies charter. It's

2553
02:09:22,119 --> 02:09:24,600
Lee Carso has to fly dark breast. It's a good bit.

2554
02:09:24,680 --> 02:09:26,680
They went next man up. One of the dogs died.

2555
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:28,319
Now a new dog gets and then how about this,

2556
02:09:28,760 --> 02:09:31,600
The dog took a massive crap before the kid kicked

2557
02:09:31,600 --> 02:09:34,560
the field goal to win a half million dollars for real? Yes, okay,

2558
02:09:34,760 --> 02:09:38,520
that's what I'm saying, I don't need piss and pooh

2559
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:42,359
and slobber and hair anywhere I'm trying to work. It's

2560
02:09:42,479 --> 02:09:44,760
cool Kirk carb Street. Clearly this is like an emotional

2561
02:09:44,760 --> 02:09:47,399
support situation for him. It feels like to me, I

2562
02:09:47,479 --> 02:09:50,600
can't then that's okay, but I don't need it in

2563
02:09:50,640 --> 02:09:54,199
my control. You might be right, because look, I love

2564
02:09:54,279 --> 02:09:57,840
my dogs, but I can work without my dogs. Yes, exactly,

2565
02:09:58,239 --> 02:10:00,640
he might be able to work with his I don't

2566
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:02,640
want to call it a crutch. What's a better ways

2567
02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:05,720
say that? A there's something that emotional support. I'll just

2568
02:10:05,800 --> 02:10:07,680
keep it with that, yeah, because you know, look, uh,

2569
02:10:07,960 --> 02:10:11,960
Kirk travels a lot. No, I'm not putting my head

2570
02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:14,640
set on a slobbery and dog. He did put that. No,

2571
02:10:14,760 --> 02:10:17,279
it was like forty it was like forty eight to fourteen.

2572
02:10:17,319 --> 02:10:20,239
About that time added some value to you got to

2573
02:10:20,279 --> 02:10:23,479
do something. Yeah, okay, it was the two minute warning

2574
02:10:23,520 --> 02:10:25,960
and it was forty eight to fourteen. So maybe we're cool.

2575
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:28,800
But by the way, here's what. You can't take the dog.

2576
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:32,760
By the way, listen to me very carefully. You can't

2577
02:10:32,760 --> 02:10:35,319
bring your dog to the grocery store. Don't do that. Yeah,

2578
02:10:35,359 --> 02:10:38,439
y'all stop doing Stop doing it. I don't mind you

2579
02:10:38,520 --> 02:10:40,600
bring going to restaurants with it. It's too much on

2580
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:42,960
planes too. People are bringing like great Danes on planes.

2581
02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:45,720
Oh they're not. Stop. You have to know you can't do.

2582
02:10:45,920 --> 02:10:47,720
You can't bring a great day in a plane. You can't.

2583
02:10:48,319 --> 02:10:49,840
They got to go in either your purse or a

2584
02:10:49,840 --> 02:10:52,159
little little small carriers. You can. Now you're just making stuff.

2585
02:10:52,199 --> 02:10:54,720
Wasn't there something? No, I saw it on the interview.

2586
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:58,760
That's not that's Mirriat doing that. Well now they're bankrupt,

2587
02:10:59,319 --> 02:11:01,000
by the way. You see the story about the Australian

2588
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:03,359
airline that got sent to me. Look images right here

2589
02:11:03,439 --> 02:11:04,600
great danes on planes.

2590
02:11:04,840 --> 02:11:05,479
Speaker 7: No, you're not.

2591
02:11:05,560 --> 02:11:07,560
Speaker 1: Those are ani. Generally you cannot bring a great Dan

2592
02:11:07,680 --> 02:11:10,119
on a plane. I'm sorry you can't. I've seen it

2593
02:11:10,199 --> 02:11:12,319
on the internet. It must be true. So there's an

2594
02:11:12,359 --> 02:11:15,800
Australian airline that had all the toilets weren't working. They

2595
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:19,199
told the they told the people on the plane either

2596
02:11:19,359 --> 02:11:22,920
use bottles or this vomit bag or the botmit bag

2597
02:11:23,039 --> 02:11:26,720
or hold it. I'm gonna tell you something right now.

2598
02:11:27,600 --> 02:11:30,319
How can't they land the plane in the lank Yeah,

2599
02:11:30,359 --> 02:11:31,479
they can absolutely no, I'm.

2600
02:11:31,399 --> 02:11:32,800
Speaker 6: Gonna so the.

2601
02:11:35,640 --> 02:11:40,520
Speaker 1: The airplane. Plane doesn't have a bowl. It's just a hole, right,

2602
02:11:40,760 --> 02:11:43,279
But it goes into some sort of septic system. Yes,

2603
02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:45,920
this doesn't go it doesn't go over forty three thousand feet.

2604
02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:49,640
You can't just fill that bad boy up. I don't know,

2605
02:11:50,720 --> 02:11:53,600
but I'm telling you. If the fight attendant says we're

2606
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:55,319
going from here, I'm going to New York and you

2607
02:11:55,319 --> 02:11:57,279
go into the bathroom with a water bottle, I could

2608
02:11:57,319 --> 02:11:59,239
do that. Yeah, And as you dump, can you you

2609
02:11:59,359 --> 02:12:01,119
dump the water boll on the trash Canada the bathroom?

2610
02:12:01,159 --> 02:12:07,239
What if that that doesn't satisfy your your intestines? If

2611
02:12:07,800 --> 02:12:09,800
what if you had a what if you had a

2612
02:12:09,840 --> 02:12:12,359
heavy salty meal before the flight? Well then you take

2613
02:12:12,439 --> 02:12:17,079
the vomit bag in there and you and and then

2614
02:12:17,720 --> 02:12:20,600
and what take a break? Take a break? Thirteen. It

2615
02:12:20,760 --> 02:12:25,439
is the Matt Thamas Show Sorts. Seven. If I'm on

2616
02:12:25,560 --> 02:12:27,079
a plane I'm going to New York, which I'm going

2617
02:12:27,119 --> 02:12:28,920
to New York in two weeks and they say we

2618
02:12:28,960 --> 02:12:31,039
will have no commode, I'd be like, get me off

2619
02:12:31,079 --> 02:12:34,199
this gd plane. If I gotta go home, I want

2620
02:12:34,239 --> 02:12:39,279
to go seven ninety Okay, welcome back to the Mad

2621
02:12:39,319 --> 02:12:42,279
Tama Show with Ross it is. Believe it or not,

2622
02:12:42,399 --> 02:12:44,439
the weekend kept it up in forty minutes. Right now

2623
02:12:47,079 --> 02:12:51,880
brings you the NFL rewind from this weekend which nothing happened. No,

2624
02:12:52,840 --> 02:12:56,199
a few things happened. I mean there's some NFL news

2625
02:12:56,319 --> 02:12:58,640
and notes and things to get too, Matt. We mentioned

2626
02:12:58,680 --> 02:13:00,680
this earlier on the news that but that was an

2627
02:13:00,680 --> 02:13:03,760
hour ago, so we can bring it back up. According

2628
02:13:05,039 --> 02:13:08,920
to Michah Parsons, who is now a Green Bay Packer,

2629
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:13,960
his agent David Mullagetta, talking on ESPN's first Take, said

2630
02:13:14,000 --> 02:13:17,399
that the Cowboys were never told that Michael Parsons would

2631
02:13:17,439 --> 02:13:19,920
not play, and he would have played. Quote never. I mean,

2632
02:13:20,039 --> 02:13:22,560
Micah loves the game too much. He was going to

2633
02:13:22,680 --> 02:13:28,720
play no matter what, Believe him or not. David mullagedta

2634
02:13:28,800 --> 02:13:31,760
that Michael Parsons would have played come week one for

2635
02:13:31,920 --> 02:13:32,920
the Dallas Cowboys.

2636
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:34,239
Speaker 7: Not not not not not.

2637
02:13:34,439 --> 02:13:37,039
Speaker 1: Now you think he would have sat on actual games? Absolutely, Okay,

2638
02:13:37,880 --> 02:13:41,720
he did. The relationship between he and Jerry Jones was

2639
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:45,600
so ugly and so nasty. Down the stretch, he forced

2640
02:13:45,600 --> 02:13:52,439
the train, he got it, he won. Hmm. Okay, well,

2641
02:13:52,960 --> 02:13:57,079
I'll take your word on that also from David David Mulligeda.

2642
02:13:57,439 --> 02:13:58,800
I know where you're gonna go with this one, Matt,

2643
02:13:58,840 --> 02:14:01,359
believe him or not. I think the most important thing

2644
02:14:01,439 --> 02:14:04,520
is Micah wanted to be a cowboy. He grew up

2645
02:14:04,600 --> 02:14:09,279
cheering for the cowboys days ward in the NFL with

2646
02:14:09,319 --> 02:14:11,680
the Dallas Cowboys. He wanted to be a cowboy. We

2647
02:14:11,800 --> 02:14:17,000
did everything we could for him to remain a cowboy.

2648
02:14:20,239 --> 02:14:22,920
Next story, forty one million dollars a year they offered

2649
02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:25,520
and they turned down. Now, of course they got forty seven,

2650
02:14:26,479 --> 02:14:30,159
So I mean that makes sense. But you know what

2651
02:14:30,319 --> 02:14:32,960
else are you gonna do? All right, well, Matt, elsewhere

2652
02:14:33,319 --> 02:14:37,479
you have with the Giants, you know that Russell Wilson

2653
02:14:38,640 --> 02:14:41,680
on their ownofficial depth chart is their starting quarterback. Jackson

2654
02:14:41,880 --> 02:14:46,119
Dart listed ahead of their depth chart ahead of Jamis Winston,

2655
02:14:46,359 --> 02:14:48,920
and they signed Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston the offseason

2656
02:14:49,359 --> 02:14:52,079
kept him both drafted Jackson Dart and now it goes

2657
02:14:52,239 --> 02:14:59,800
Wilson Dart Winston on their depth chart. The depth charts

2658
02:14:59,840 --> 02:15:02,279
are are usually put out by pr people, not about

2659
02:15:02,319 --> 02:15:04,960
the head coach. That's true, so I will take it

2660
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:07,239
with a grain of salt. How does Jameis Winston feel

2661
02:15:07,239 --> 02:15:09,760
about all this? Are the crab legs good in New York?

2662
02:15:11,399 --> 02:15:14,560
But by the way, probably I did watch a little

2663
02:15:14,640 --> 02:15:17,399
National TV yesterday since I was working for Astros. Okay,

2664
02:15:17,479 --> 02:15:20,840
do you know who you who? I like on ESPN? Uh?

2665
02:15:21,720 --> 02:15:21,760
Speaker 5: No?

2666
02:15:22,159 --> 02:15:22,800
Speaker 1: Cam Newton?

2667
02:15:23,319 --> 02:15:23,680
Speaker 7: Oh you do?

2668
02:15:23,920 --> 02:15:25,840
Speaker 1: I think he was. Now he's got weird ass hair,

2669
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:30,520
but he's really good as a as an analyst. Okay,

2670
02:15:30,720 --> 02:15:34,039
so he is. Thomas Sports Enterprises Media division is bullish

2671
02:15:34,239 --> 02:15:37,960
on Cam Newton as a broadcaster. Okay, man, Well let's

2672
02:15:38,119 --> 02:15:42,119
go locally here for a moment. The Rams have said

2673
02:15:42,199 --> 02:15:47,479
that they expect Matthew Stafford to start the opener versus

2674
02:15:47,800 --> 02:15:50,479
the Texans. They expect him to finish it though. Well

2675
02:15:50,520 --> 02:15:55,439
we'll see our old friend Sarah Barshop. Now report continue

2676
02:15:55,479 --> 02:15:59,920
on you not your friend? No old friend Sarah barsh

2677
02:16:00,119 --> 02:16:02,600
Up with the report from ESPN. I think she works

2678
02:16:02,640 --> 02:16:06,520
for ESPN LA. Stafford missing the first month of training

2679
02:16:06,600 --> 02:16:09,479
camp dealing with the back injury. He has been a

2680
02:16:09,520 --> 02:16:13,520
full participant in practice since August eighteenth, McVeigh saying that

2681
02:16:13,640 --> 02:16:15,920
Stafford will participate in the full week of practice leading

2682
02:16:16,000 --> 02:16:18,800
up to the Rams Week one game against Texans. So

2683
02:16:18,840 --> 02:16:21,199
wait a minute, he's been practicing for two weeks and

2684
02:16:21,239 --> 02:16:23,680
we're supposed to be concerned about this now. While we

2685
02:16:23,760 --> 02:16:25,760
had the caller said he wasn't gonna play right. Yes,

2686
02:16:25,920 --> 02:16:28,560
the caller had a gut feeling on that. How are

2687
02:16:28,600 --> 02:16:30,399
we feeling about that? He is feeling he was praying

2688
02:16:30,439 --> 02:16:32,680
for that to happen. He's thinking about flying the New

2689
02:16:32,760 --> 02:16:34,879
York and trying to inject a state knife in the

2690
02:16:34,920 --> 02:16:38,639
back of Matthew Stafford. Oh really, yeah, okay, interesting, that's

2691
02:16:38,719 --> 02:16:41,239
that's a good feeling that caller is gonna lose, all right, man.

2692
02:16:41,319 --> 02:16:45,520
Speaking of unofficial depth chart the Houston Texans' out, they have,

2693
02:16:45,840 --> 02:16:49,760
let's go left to right on the offensive line, arionce

2694
02:16:50,079 --> 02:16:55,159
Urseri Lake and Tomlinson at Jake Andrews at Ingram Titus Howard.

2695
02:16:56,079 --> 02:17:02,079
How we feel scared to death? I'm feeling good, feeling confident.

2696
02:17:02,120 --> 02:17:05,840
That's because you'ress top twenty five offensive line in the

2697
02:17:05,959 --> 02:17:15,479
NFL Top twenty five. You heard it here first. What now,

2698
02:17:15,799 --> 02:17:17,760
I just say something rude, but I'm not gonna do it.

2699
02:17:18,040 --> 02:17:19,920
I'm glad I held your tongue. Yeah, I'm being trying

2700
02:17:19,959 --> 02:17:22,200
to be more polite. It's football time in the Houston, baby,

2701
02:17:22,920 --> 02:17:25,479
let's get it going. It's division around lost time in Houston.

2702
02:17:25,760 --> 02:17:28,239
I'm not feeling great about my Texans to win prediction

2703
02:17:29,239 --> 02:17:30,799
that I made a gut feelings, but you know, you

2704
02:17:30,920 --> 02:17:32,399
give your gut feeling what it is at the time.

2705
02:17:33,040 --> 02:17:35,120
What was your gut feeling? I think I said twenty three,

2706
02:17:35,520 --> 02:17:38,079
twenty three, twenty No, it's I tell you nineteen sixteen text.

2707
02:17:38,200 --> 02:17:39,840
Let tells. If the texts are gonna win, I'll be

2708
02:17:40,040 --> 02:17:41,920
and you're welcome because you know what I am. The

2709
02:17:42,040 --> 02:17:46,479
Texans insider. Yes, Liberty White Matt here on the show.

2710
02:17:46,920 --> 02:17:50,639
Also of note, Matt listed as the starting wide receivers.

2711
02:17:50,719 --> 02:17:55,479
You have Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, and Jaden Higgins. Where's

2712
02:17:55,520 --> 02:17:59,680
mister Noel? Noel listed behind Christian Kirk. I don't know

2713
02:17:59,719 --> 02:18:02,280
if that so it doesn't have an official slot designation,

2714
02:18:02,360 --> 02:18:06,520
but that's where Kirk will operate. Okay also listed as

2715
02:18:06,520 --> 02:18:11,600
their number one running back Nicholas Chubb over Damian Pierce,

2716
02:18:12,239 --> 02:18:17,200
then dary Ogunbawally, Woody Marks and British Brooks over under

2717
02:18:17,760 --> 02:18:21,360
sixty yards on Nick Chubb this Sunday over or under

2718
02:18:22,840 --> 02:18:27,719
under Okay Damian Pierce can bust one. Yeah, all Texas,

2719
02:18:27,799 --> 02:18:29,280
one of those guys bust one. They'll get the over

2720
02:18:29,399 --> 02:18:33,239
sixty number. Well, any individual Texans rusher over rush for

2721
02:18:33,319 --> 02:18:36,440
sixty years and explosive play counts as twenty plus. Well

2722
02:18:36,479 --> 02:18:41,879
they have an explosive run, yes they will. No, I

2723
02:18:41,920 --> 02:18:43,760
mean they can bust off tackles. I mean sometimes you

2724
02:18:43,760 --> 02:18:47,799
can do it on your own. A man can hope,

2725
02:18:48,680 --> 02:18:53,079
man can dream. I will say no explosive runs for

2726
02:18:53,159 --> 02:18:55,520
the Texans, and I want to be basically saying that

2727
02:18:55,559 --> 02:18:57,719
Texas are gonna lose. No, I'm not. Offensive line is

2728
02:18:57,760 --> 02:18:59,719
gonna be twenty fifth this week. I think the short

2729
02:18:59,719 --> 02:19:02,280
past game is gonna be effectively the running to whom

2730
02:19:02,399 --> 02:19:05,159
Christian Kirk is gonna find Kirk. Yeah, Christian Kirk, I

2731
02:19:05,239 --> 02:19:08,200
mean Dalton Schultz. Yeah, Nico Collins, you can hit him

2732
02:19:08,239 --> 02:19:10,520
on some some quick stuff as well. Do the Texans

2733
02:19:10,559 --> 02:19:12,879
have to score a defensive touchdown every week to win

2734
02:19:13,239 --> 02:19:15,079
double digy games? That's why I said more than two

2735
02:19:15,159 --> 02:19:19,200
thirty five and a half used code Spotlight draft Kings

2736
02:19:19,239 --> 02:19:22,040
pick six. Yeah, I'm a whore.

2737
02:19:22,079 --> 02:19:22,399
Speaker 4: What's up?

2738
02:19:22,879 --> 02:19:24,840
Speaker 1: You are a whore? Me and Jordan Hudson, you and

2739
02:19:25,000 --> 02:19:29,120
you're Jordan Hudson whore. Those were Matt's words. By the way,

2740
02:19:29,120 --> 02:19:30,920
I wasn't really calling her that. That's what Matt said earlier.

2741
02:19:30,959 --> 02:19:33,319
I was you're the opposite of the horror. You're a queen.

2742
02:19:34,520 --> 02:19:37,079
All right, there you go, mad, that's your nfl rewind,

2743
02:19:37,120 --> 02:19:39,760
thank you very much. All right, Vince wants sucks some masters.

2744
02:19:39,760 --> 02:19:42,360

2747
02:19:51,239 --> 02:19:53,719
new WFA in liners hoping he was going to play today,

2748
02:19:53,719 --> 02:19:55,520
and we didn't find outuntil like nine o'clock class and

2749
02:19:55,600 --> 02:19:58,440
he wasn't working today. And it's fine. We didn't get

2750
02:19:58,440 --> 02:20:00,280
the we didn't get we get the board. Ops. You'll

2751
02:20:00,280 --> 02:20:02,440

2752
02:20:02,559 --> 02:20:05,000
We don't communicate. I'm sorry, producer, schedule, there you go

shut your ball mass up. Uh ain't nobody got time

2758
02:20:23,239 --> 02:20:26,239
for that. We will have hopefully plenty of Astro highlights

2759
02:20:26,239 --> 02:20:30,280
against the Yankees to play. Now, does our man producing today?

2760
02:20:30,840 --> 02:20:34,959
Freddy was his name? Freddy Frankie, Frankie, can he play

2761
02:20:34,959 --> 02:20:37,520
a montage tomorrow? Because if we're gonna play, we gotta

2762
02:20:37,520 --> 02:20:44,639
play Sinatra right hopefully win. Yeah, it's gonna be a montage,

2763
02:20:44,719 --> 02:20:47,879
I hope. So, okay, once you have a quick tough

2764
02:20:48,239 --> 02:20:50,120
well't you know who's favorite in the Game of Night?

2765
02:20:50,280 --> 02:20:50,319
Speaker 5: No?

2766
02:20:51,120 --> 02:20:53,239
Speaker 1: Do I want to know? One team is a minus

2767
02:20:53,280 --> 02:20:55,239
one fifteen? One's a minus one oh five? Oh, so

2768
02:20:55,920 --> 02:20:58,719
it is what it is, Max freed over Thrumber. The

2769
02:20:58,799 --> 02:21:01,399
juice is going on both sides, all right, So the

2770
02:21:01,479 --> 02:21:03,600
Astros can hit lefties. So Frankie, talk to Ross. We're

2771
02:21:03,600 --> 02:21:05,600
gonna play montage tomorrow. The Astros are gonna win. We're

2772
02:21:05,600 --> 02:21:08,799
gonna I mean, he's been running, Yeah, okay running, Doug Pick,

2773
02:21:09,239 --> 02:21:11,280
You've been running, Dug Pipe. Man, It's gonna be great.

2774
02:21:11,280 --> 02:21:14,200
It's gonna be a great Nook season, Matt, Doug you've

2775
02:21:14,239 --> 02:21:20,920
ever been to Bville? I ran them Bville. Eric, Frankie,

2776
02:21:21,079 --> 02:21:23,319
you ever you ever going to the fifteenth hole and

2777
02:21:23,840 --> 02:21:25,680
taking fourteen shots that picked the ball and said, I

2778
02:21:25,719 --> 02:21:26,440
gotta get out of here.

2779
02:21:27,239 --> 02:21:27,840
Speaker 5: I have done that.

2780
02:21:28,639 --> 02:21:33,479
Speaker 1: You go for Frankie. No, no, Frankie. Frankie's Frankie. Frankie's

2781
02:21:33,479 --> 02:21:35,120
got the online stuff going. What you went to? What's

2782
02:21:35,120 --> 02:21:37,040
your number one? Hobby, Frankie? No one hobby?

2783
02:21:37,879 --> 02:21:38,079
Speaker 5: Man?

2784
02:21:38,799 --> 02:21:42,479
Speaker 1: I love classical classical music? Yeah, okay. What do you

2785
02:21:42,559 --> 02:21:43,559
like a Cheikowsky guy?

2786
02:21:44,239 --> 02:21:44,440
Speaker 5: Oh?

2787
02:21:44,680 --> 02:21:48,360
Speaker 1: Man, Uh, you're more of a chopon maybe maybe prokofie

2788
02:21:48,440 --> 02:21:51,920
of Oh wow, all right, I like that guy. Why

2789
02:21:51,959 --> 02:21:56,920
are you working here? I'm just curious. He's also got

2790
02:21:57,000 --> 02:21:59,280
his microphone way louder than Yeah, why are you talking

2791
02:21:59,319 --> 02:22:02,280
longer than I? Back off? It's not your show? Oh

2792
02:22:02,440 --> 02:22:07,639
now too low it back up. We're just kidding with you. Yes,

2793
02:22:07,760 --> 02:22:09,959
you've made, You've made. Now are you nervous about believing?

2794
02:22:10,079 --> 02:22:11,719
Not coming up? Also, the key to producing the show

2795
02:22:11,799 --> 02:22:16,399
is make my microphone louder than Matts. The key, the

2796
02:22:16,520 --> 02:22:21,159
key he's actually gonna do it. The key is to

2797
02:22:21,280 --> 02:22:24,280
mute Ross and his horrific sports takes. Let's go to

2798
02:22:24,719 --> 02:22:28,639
Vince in Midtown seven ninety high. Vince, Hey, you.

2799
02:22:28,639 --> 02:22:31,399
Speaker 5: Guys are talking about the position players for the Astros. Yeah,

2800
02:22:31,399 --> 02:22:33,520
I was wondering what your thoughts were, what your thoughts

2801
02:22:33,559 --> 02:22:38,559
were going into next season? Were loaded my position players,

2802
02:22:38,600 --> 02:22:42,079
in my opinion, and I'm not sure how straw To

2803
02:22:42,120 --> 02:22:46,559
can manage that. You've got two third basemen and I

2804
02:22:46,559 --> 02:22:49,600
don't know what all the contractual obligations at all. So

2805
02:22:49,680 --> 02:22:52,799
I'm just wondering how to manage that with credits and Korea.

2806
02:22:53,440 --> 02:22:56,639
And then you got Ureus, who I can see you

2807
02:22:56,799 --> 02:23:01,040
take in a lot of do bonds uh, I say minutes,

2808
02:23:01,079 --> 02:23:04,719
but innings you know, on some of the infield positions.

2809
02:23:04,799 --> 02:23:07,520
So just wonder how you think of strata and Dana

2810
02:23:07,559 --> 02:23:09,959
Brad is going to manage that well?

2811
02:23:10,760 --> 02:23:12,239
Speaker 1: It is for next season obviously.

2812
02:23:12,760 --> 02:23:12,879
Speaker 12: Uh.

2813
02:23:14,239 --> 02:23:17,000
Speaker 1: But when this trade was made, the first thing I

2814
02:23:17,079 --> 02:23:20,079
thought was, what do you worry do about twenty six?

2815
02:23:22,000 --> 02:23:25,360
What is Pretti's health? Can you trade a guy in

2816
02:23:25,440 --> 02:23:29,959
pereties who has terrific bat good power, but is coming

2817
02:23:30,000 --> 02:23:34,600
off of a severe, severe hamstring injury. Urreus is obviously

2818
02:23:34,639 --> 02:23:38,440
a tradable commodity. You're gonna have to probably figure out

2819
02:23:38,479 --> 02:23:41,079
whether you're gonna resign Caratini or he's gonna go somewhere else.

2820
02:23:41,120 --> 02:23:43,079
You're gonna need a backup catcher. I don't think Seesar

2821
02:23:43,159 --> 02:23:46,760
Saddazar is a long term solution to be backup Io. Ultimately,

2822
02:23:46,840 --> 02:23:49,559
do believe they'd like to get Diaz out of behind

2823
02:23:49,600 --> 02:23:52,440
the dish, but that maybe until Christian Walker is gone

2824
02:23:52,479 --> 02:23:58,600
as an astro. I do believe there will be some

2825
02:23:58,760 --> 02:24:01,399
sort of significant tight in the off season, will involve

2826
02:24:01,440 --> 02:24:03,360
a player that has played a lot of games. Now

2827
02:24:03,639 --> 02:24:06,040
you have to look this up. I'll actually I can

2828
02:24:06,079 --> 02:24:09,799
look it up. What is Dubon's contract status? He's got

2829
02:24:09,799 --> 02:24:14,600
at least another year. The thing about Dubon that makes

2830
02:24:14,680 --> 02:24:17,840
him valuable is he can play multiple defensive positions. He

2831
02:24:18,200 --> 02:24:20,799
doesn't make him valuable is the fact he does zero sluck.

2832
02:24:21,120 --> 02:24:25,280
He's a gold Glover. Yeah, but he's also movable. Yeah.

2833
02:24:25,639 --> 02:24:30,959
Next year is his last year. Okay, what do you?

2834
02:24:31,079 --> 02:24:33,319
What are you Winson over there for? It's been real.

2835
02:24:33,399 --> 02:24:38,879
We love you Mauricio. Yeah, Mauricio unfortunately is very very replaceable,

2836
02:24:39,760 --> 02:24:43,319
and when Yurius maybe that person he plays great. Yes,

2837
02:24:43,360 --> 02:24:45,799
here's the thing. Jacob Meultain, I know has not been

2838
02:24:45,840 --> 02:24:49,040
good this year, but the organization's high on him and

2839
02:24:49,479 --> 02:24:52,159
maybe this first year of going through rookie growing pains

2840
02:24:52,159 --> 02:24:55,680
will make him better for next year, but I could

2841
02:24:55,719 --> 02:24:58,159
see him competing for an outfield spot for next year.

2842
02:24:58,680 --> 02:25:01,559
He can't remember, Jake my this is a one off

2843
02:25:01,639 --> 02:25:05,520
for him. This is from a from a bat standpoint. Yeah,

2844
02:25:05,559 --> 02:25:07,799
but he's always been great in the field. It's been

2845
02:25:07,799 --> 02:25:11,920
a Gold Glof finalist. Yeah, this team is going to

2846
02:25:12,040 --> 02:25:14,840
do some things. I do believe the coaching staff will

2847
02:25:14,840 --> 02:25:18,200
be severely evaluated, whether that's the right thing and the

2848
02:25:18,200 --> 02:25:21,200
wrong thing. That's fun. Happens every single year, That's okay. Yeah,

2849
02:25:21,200 --> 02:25:23,079
even teams that make playoffs get rich. I mean Gary

2850
02:25:23,079 --> 02:25:26,360
pettis gone so after last year. Yes, so that's going

2851
02:25:26,399 --> 02:25:28,520
to be evaluated. And I do believe they are probably

2852
02:25:28,559 --> 02:25:30,799
a little heavy in the infield when it comes to

2853
02:25:31,120 --> 02:25:36,200
utility guys, especially if you're going to do a rotation

2854
02:25:36,360 --> 02:25:39,479
that involves Jordan and Jose playing left field. I think

2855
02:25:39,520 --> 02:25:43,040
the Jose left field mainstay thing is no longer in play.

2856
02:25:43,559 --> 02:25:48,239
I think he may be unfortunately positionless designated hitter. Yeah,

2857
02:25:48,360 --> 02:25:50,000
but that's what you're want to play. You're not out

2858
02:25:50,040 --> 02:25:51,719
there yet, you're not maybe playing more outfield than I

2859
02:25:51,719 --> 02:25:53,200
ever thought he was ever going to play. But again,

2860
02:25:53,239 --> 02:25:55,399
it's it's already happened. Since he come back, he's played

2861
02:25:55,399 --> 02:25:57,639
more left field than I thought he would absolute wonder percent.

2862
02:25:57,639 --> 02:25:59,079
And we could ask Joe about that. I just thought

2863
02:25:59,120 --> 02:26:05,719
of it. Dang next week. Alrighty now, disappointing. Sorry, but

2864
02:26:05,799 --> 02:26:08,120
these are problem Honestly, these are problems that I think

2865
02:26:08,159 --> 02:26:11,040
we should probably show for a while. Because we've got

2866
02:26:11,040 --> 02:26:12,680
thirty days left to go in this season. This thing's

2867
02:26:12,680 --> 02:26:15,559
gonna be a bear. You got the Rangers playing excellent baseball.

2868
02:26:15,559 --> 02:26:17,920
They have won nine of ten. The Mariners aren't going

2869
02:26:17,959 --> 02:26:20,639
away and hiding down the stretch. We go should be fun,

2870
02:26:20,879 --> 02:26:23,000
exciting and good for us. We want you to listen

2871
02:26:23,040 --> 02:26:26,440
all the games here and talk about seminary. Yeah, yeah,

2872
02:26:27,360 --> 02:26:29,040
I mean you're not gonna talk abut anywhere else because

2873
02:26:29,040 --> 02:26:33,639
you get a bunchet. Ah, that's rude. You don't want that.

2874
02:26:33,760 --> 02:26:36,360
You want at least halfway decent conversation. Well, yeah, we

2875
02:26:36,399 --> 02:26:39,079
can get to thirty minutes of Jalen Noel versus Jayden Higgins,

2876
02:26:39,159 --> 02:26:42,479
but we win have to or who's gonna replace c J?

2877
02:26:44,840 --> 02:26:48,000
Excuse me, what do you mean he's getting He's here

2878
02:26:48,040 --> 02:26:49,959
for life now. I'm talking about this year though.

2879
02:26:50,559 --> 02:26:50,840
Speaker 6: C J.

2880
02:26:50,920 --> 02:26:52,639
Speaker 1: Stroud's gonna be here for What do you mean that

2881
02:26:52,719 --> 02:26:54,559
offensive line is gonna let him down? What do you mean?

2882
02:26:54,719 --> 02:26:55,040
Speaker 6: You know it?

2883
02:26:55,159 --> 02:26:57,040
Speaker 1: And I tell your ser he's ready to rock baby

2884
02:26:57,479 --> 02:27:01,479
Okay Lake and Tomlinson for life. You keep thinking that

2885
02:27:03,280 --> 02:27:06,959
there's no running games top twenty five finish folks, now

2886
02:27:07,079 --> 02:27:09,879
for the Alfan, please correct yourself, because there are people

2887
02:27:09,879 --> 02:27:11,799
bumpa wrong going here ross fielders. They'd be a top

2888
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:15,360
twenty five offensive line. There are thirty two teams. It's

2889
02:27:15,360 --> 02:27:17,840
not the brag. Yeah, well they're thirty two right now.

2890
02:27:18,120 --> 02:27:20,200
Don't you think if you move up seven spots in

2891
02:27:20,280 --> 02:27:22,440
a thirty two team list, that's a pretty good movement, right.

2892
02:27:22,479 --> 02:27:24,639
I believe he'll beccussed by week three. Yes, I think

2893
02:27:24,680 --> 02:27:29,079
it'll be just fine. See, you know, we we still

2894
02:27:29,120 --> 02:27:32,159
have our bet that I godated you into, which was

2895
02:27:32,559 --> 02:27:35,120
seven and a half. Oh geez, I'll be paying that

2896
02:27:35,200 --> 02:27:37,639
off and by the sind of October. Maybe not. No,

2897
02:27:37,760 --> 02:27:41,000
the schedule's easy. It's a week one on the road

2898
02:27:41,040 --> 02:27:44,040
against the right Mike tannenbomb from ESPN. Does it the

2899
02:27:44,079 --> 02:27:48,319
Titans win the MC south like tannonbomb? Yeah, the disgraced

2900
02:27:48,360 --> 02:27:55,200
former Jets GM correct Okay, do you think somebody like

2901
02:27:55,239 --> 02:27:57,120
put something in his coffee to say, let's won't you

2902
02:27:57,120 --> 02:28:00,120
have the worst takeout thet spice it up. I got

2903
02:28:00,200 --> 02:28:02,159
to be honest. If there's anybody winning the AFC South,

2904
02:28:02,280 --> 02:28:06,000
not in the Texans, it's probably the Jaguars. Are they

2905
02:28:06,079 --> 02:28:09,159
kind of due to be competitive? Isn't Trevor Lawrence due

2906
02:28:09,200 --> 02:28:10,760
to be Finally the quarter of the fifth year. We've

2907
02:28:10,760 --> 02:28:12,760
been waiting for a breakout for five years. I'm sitting

2908
02:28:12,799 --> 02:28:15,399
here going, man, another massive overthrow or an under throw

2909
02:28:15,559 --> 02:28:17,479
or hey, I third and ninety threw a past five

2910
02:28:17,559 --> 02:28:20,360
yards speaking of a generational prospect who may have hit

2911
02:28:20,399 --> 02:28:23,760
his ceiling. But Liam Cohen, the new key head coach,

2912
02:28:23,799 --> 02:28:25,280
is supposed to be one of the great offensive minds

2913
02:28:25,280 --> 02:28:28,319
in football. We'll see what happens. Got some good weapons.

2914
02:28:29,120 --> 02:28:33,760
Brian Thomas and company. They frankly have underperformed is under

2915
02:28:33,840 --> 02:28:36,319
Trevor Lawrence. Yet they've spent lots of money putting people

2916
02:28:36,360 --> 02:28:38,200
around him. I mean, remember that was last year they

2917
02:28:38,239 --> 02:28:40,719
spent crazy money on their receiving courts. I feel like

2918
02:28:40,760 --> 02:28:42,559
if he was that great, things would have worked out

2919
02:28:42,559 --> 02:28:46,319
with Doug Peterson. I think Doug Peterson's Good football customers saying, yeah,

2920
02:28:47,840 --> 02:28:50,200
maybe it was just a miss. Guess what the smartest

2921
02:28:50,200 --> 02:28:54,360
football people do miss on people. I mean it was consensus.

2922
02:28:55,360 --> 02:28:58,120
Remember who was a true freshman winning a national championship

2923
02:28:58,159 --> 02:29:00,000
at Clemson. Everybody's like, this is if this guy goes

2924
02:29:00,079 --> 02:29:01,280
the draft, you can go number one right now. Do

2925
02:29:01,280 --> 02:29:03,920
you think football people miss more than other people's experts

2926
02:29:03,920 --> 02:29:07,000
of other sports? I think it's no, because there's like

2927
02:29:08,120 --> 02:29:10,520
there's like thirty rounds of the maybe well not any Moore,

2928
02:29:10,600 --> 02:29:12,639
thirty rounds of Major League draft, but there's been usually

2929
02:29:12,760 --> 02:29:15,200
only a handful of them are really good. But that's also,

2930
02:29:15,239 --> 02:29:20,600
I mean, that's the playerpool. So I don't know, I

2931
02:29:20,639 --> 02:29:22,719
don't know. It just feels like when an NBA basketball

2932
02:29:22,799 --> 02:29:25,600
miss has happened. It's also there's only literally like three

2933
02:29:25,719 --> 02:29:27,959
really good players in eleven. We don't care if you

2934
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:30,319
miss or now you're number eleven draft pick, all right,

2935
02:29:30,360 --> 02:29:32,520
believe it or not. It's all things about the weekend

2936
02:29:33,520 --> 02:29:36,959
seven one three, two, one two five seven nineties. Yes,

2937
02:29:37,120 --> 02:29:39,719

2938
02:29:39,799 --> 02:29:43,559

It doesn't matter, despair yet, you know what, It doesn't matter.

2949
02:30:13,639 --> 02:30:17,479
That's right, It doesn't matter what your rank is new

2950

top twenty five, Pole is out, Ohio State is number one,

2951

Penn State two, LSU three, LSU going from nine to

2952
02:30:24,719 --> 02:30:28,399
three this week. Ohio State up two spots, Penn State

2953
02:30:28,440 --> 02:30:32,399
state where they are, Georgia four, Miami five They went

2954
02:30:32,479 --> 02:30:35,719
up five spots. Texas dropped six spots. Clemson is number eight,

2955
02:30:35,760 --> 02:30:38,319
they dropped four. Notre Dame dropped three to number nine.

2956
02:30:39,719 --> 02:30:45,360
South Carolin top ten and no receiving votes for University Houston.

2957
02:30:45,440 --> 02:30:48,639
That'll change after this week's big win over the Rice House.

2958
02:30:51,520 --> 02:30:52,879
I mean a lot of big twelve schools in his

2959
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:56,120
top twenty five. By the way, Utah twenty five, Texas

2960
02:30:56,159 --> 02:31:04,719
Tech twenty four, Iowa eight sixteen. Hmm good college football season.

2961
02:31:04,760 --> 02:31:08,799
Awaitus week won one bad? All Right? Tomorrow on the show,

2962
02:31:08,840 --> 02:31:11,440
as we mentioned, we'll have Brian Bogacivic with us. We'll

2963
02:31:11,559 --> 02:31:15,280
have also shut Up by mess Up. We might even

2964
02:31:15,360 --> 02:31:17,479
go check out what's going on in Los Angeles with

2965
02:31:17,479 --> 02:31:19,959
the Rams. That'll be a part of the show either

2966
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:24,159
tomorrow or Thursday. Astro start a three game series tonight

2967
02:31:24,440 --> 02:31:26,360
with the New York Yankees. And again, if you're going tonight,

2968
02:31:26,399 --> 02:31:28,840
it's a seven to ten first pitch tonight. It is

2969
02:31:28,920 --> 02:31:31,719
a seven to ten pitch on Wednesday, and then a

2970
02:31:31,920 --> 02:31:35,200
seven to ten pitch excuse me, a six forty pitch

2971
02:31:35,399 --> 02:31:38,559
on Thursday. I think that's because of travel considerations. But

2972
02:31:38,719 --> 02:31:41,159
the game tonight will be at seven to ten and

2973
02:31:41,280 --> 02:31:45,719
the pitching matchup will feature Max Freed fourteen and five

2974
02:31:45,840 --> 02:31:49,239
with an era at three point zero six, Rombert Valdez

2975
02:31:49,280 --> 02:31:51,280
twelve and seven with a three point one point eight.

2976
02:31:52,079 --> 02:31:54,600
It's Max Freed versus a guy who wants his contract

2977
02:31:55,399 --> 02:31:58,799
who's always pissed off Romber. Yeah, I don't think he's

2978
02:31:58,799 --> 02:32:01,319
always pissed off there. Have you seen him on Twitter?

2979
02:32:01,399 --> 02:32:04,639
He's very affable, He's he hasn't tweeted in weeks. Thanks.

2980
02:32:07,040 --> 02:32:08,840
By the way, I have a lot of cricket numbers

2981
02:32:08,840 --> 02:32:10,840
for weeks. I I get credit for that. By the way,

2982
02:32:11,200 --> 02:32:15,159
what I told the world about fromber tweeting, he sucked

2983
02:32:15,200 --> 02:32:17,319
and then he stopped tweeting. So I say to you,

2984
02:32:17,360 --> 02:32:19,680
from what credit do you want? Because nobody even knew

2985
02:32:19,680 --> 02:32:21,680
he was around doing that until I told the people

2986
02:32:21,680 --> 02:32:24,040
about it. He had like fifty thousand followers when you

2987
02:32:24,079 --> 02:32:25,920
were talking about it. I think at least those people knew.

2988
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:28,040
But nobody on radio was talking about except me. I

2989
02:32:28,079 --> 02:32:29,920
would well, I don't listen to the radio shows, so

2990
02:32:30,040 --> 02:32:33,280
you shouldn't because it's a garbage out there. I mean,

2991
02:32:33,319 --> 02:32:35,440
we're the only we're the only show of cality in

2992
02:32:35,479 --> 02:32:38,760
the marketplace. You said it, not me. You think I

2993
02:32:38,840 --> 02:32:43,360
forget it? What else? I didn't disagree? You didn't disagree.

2994
02:32:43,959 --> 02:32:45,959
By the way, I almost took Ashton genty in the

2995
02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:50,559
draft yesterday. Oh my god, somebody ratted you out that

2996
02:32:50,760 --> 02:32:53,840
that you uh that that doctor Rota was talking about

2997
02:32:53,840 --> 02:32:55,479
how great ash and gent he was, and you didn't

2998
02:32:55,479 --> 02:32:57,799
tell him that you thought he sucked and then he

2999
02:32:57,879 --> 02:33:00,639
was overrating. He's gonna be fine after he has this

3000
02:33:00,719 --> 02:33:03,959
season entering knee injury. It'd be better than year two.

3001
02:33:04,360 --> 02:33:09,399
He's getting the thousand this year at let's go really, okay,

3002
02:33:10,399 --> 02:33:13,879
what do you want to bet? I need odds? What

3003
02:33:14,319 --> 02:33:16,639
just a little bit of oh god, you can't talk

3004
02:33:16,719 --> 02:33:19,360
all this bluster and then ask for odds. I'm asking

3005
02:33:19,440 --> 02:33:20,639
for odds. If you give him to me, it's a

3006
02:33:20,680 --> 02:33:25,399
different story. Let me look at his actual Uh, let's

3007
02:33:25,399 --> 02:33:27,680
look at his actual actual Vegas line. You don't need odds.

3008
02:33:27,799 --> 02:33:29,000
The line is the line? Is the line?

3009
02:33:29,040 --> 02:33:29,200
Speaker 6: Right?

3010
02:33:29,520 --> 02:33:35,479
Speaker 1: Yeah? I can't find it? You talk all right? Are you?

3011
02:33:35,559 --> 02:33:37,680
How would you do Believe it or not? How about

3012
02:33:37,719 --> 02:33:39,520
I says, I tell the audience, we've got five minutes

3013
02:33:39,559 --> 02:33:41,280
off to go in the show. What should we do?

3014
02:33:44,600 --> 02:33:50,760
We should play America's fastest growing sports radio game show.

Speaker 1: Sewan, Good luck to you, my friend. Here's your question.

3040
02:34:55,000 --> 02:34:57,840
The weekend has seven different songs hit number one on

3041
02:34:57,879 --> 02:35:02,120
the US Billboard chart seven Believe It or Not Believe It?

3042
02:35:02,239 --> 02:35:03,719
That is correct. We've been talking about it all show

3043
02:35:03,920 --> 02:35:06,840
show long statement number two for the win. The Weekend

3044
02:35:06,920 --> 02:35:08,680
dropped out of high school at the age of seventeen.

3045
02:35:08,719 --> 02:35:11,200
He left for the Weekend and never came back, thus

3046
02:35:11,280 --> 02:35:15,600
his stage name Believe It or Not Not that's a

3047
02:35:15,639 --> 02:35:20,159
believe it. Yeah, you go to high school somewhere in Toronto.

3048
02:35:20,360 --> 02:35:25,319
Fair enough. Let's go to U. Renee on seven, Hointie, Renee,

3049
02:35:25,360 --> 02:35:26,959
what's your favorite part of today? He's tend to two

3050
02:35:27,079 --> 02:35:32,719
radio show, The Joe Aspata Interview. The Weekend stage name

3051
02:35:32,840 --> 02:35:35,079
is missing an e because the venue he performed at

3052
02:35:35,200 --> 02:35:37,239
early in his career did not have enough ease for

3053
02:35:37,360 --> 02:35:39,799
the marquee and he liked to look Believe It or Not.

3054
02:35:41,680 --> 02:35:42,120
Speaker 2: Believe it?

3055
02:35:42,559 --> 02:35:46,319
Speaker 1: No, but thank you for listening. Renee, appreciate you. Just

3056
02:35:46,319 --> 02:35:48,040
because there was a band called the Weekend, so we

3057
02:35:48,120 --> 02:35:50,719
had to change it. John on seven, Auntie, John, You're

3058
02:35:50,719 --> 02:35:51,680
ready to play Believe It or Not?

3059
02:35:53,040 --> 02:35:53,399
Speaker 13: Believe It?

3060
02:35:53,719 --> 02:35:56,639
Speaker 1: The Weekend was first inspired to become a performer after

3061
02:35:56,760 --> 02:35:59,840
watching Jim Carrey in the nineteen ninety four film The

3062
02:36:00,120 --> 02:36:04,719
Ask Believe it or not, it's a believe it. Sorry

3063
02:36:06,440 --> 02:36:09,559
