my wife didn't know better. Yeah, I don't like it.

21
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:31,439
It's not great. I mean, ties aren't great. Whoever goes, man,

22
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,079
I can't wait for a time I kissed my sister

23
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,879
on the cheek. Well, I would certainly hope. So I

24
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:41,599
mean anything more than that, Happy birthday to her Happy birthday? Yeah, yesterday,

00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Raising your nephews, yes, doing a great job. Yeah, thank you,

28
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:56,480
better than I ever could. Thankfully you're separating from them

29
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,319
just enough so you're bad and for it's not a

30
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:02,400
bad part of their life. Oh, man, I think I'm

31
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:04,079
a great uncle. I don't know what you're talking about,

32
00:02:04,959 --> 00:02:06,920
but I would say, yeah, I spoil out him. I

33
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:09,120
spoil them. I don't really scold or yell at him

34
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:10,719
or nothing. That's good. And they want a snack, I

35
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:12,879
say to get it. If you want an eighth cupcake,

36
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,879
go ahead. You know what, Why don't you have a

37
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:17,800
cup of ice cream and a coke? Yeah, you enjoy yourself,

38
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,520
go home to your mom. That's that's what the uncles do.

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,680
The uncles are supposed to uncles and grandparents. Yes, right.

40
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,039
Speaker 2: It is a Thursday edition of The Bat Thomas Show

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,199
with Ros It's nice to see you, hey, Matt. Uh

43
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:33,240
and uh yeah yeah, last night was a turnover machine.

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,719
Twenty one turnovers. Oh is that bad? I mean it's

45
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:42,280
not great. It's gonna get fixed, right, No, it's not.

46
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,199
Which I've mentioned this numerous times on the broadcast. This

47
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,639
is gonna be a and it's gotten better the last

48
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:50,439
probably the last three or four weeks. But it's creeped.

49
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:52,520
Its ugly head out there. Weird. It's ugly head again

50
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:54,719
for back to back games. And I've got an email

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Doka catchphrase for you playing in a crowd. He's saying

52
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,120
it every postgame now, because that's so he gets asked

53
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,400
about turnovers about every postgame. Yeah, so they're playing in

54
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,039
a crowd too much. Yeah. I always think sometimes it's

55
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:09,280
playing to the crowd. Yeah, but it's really playing in

56
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:15,599
the crowd. Eight turnovers, one for one. Kevin Durant, Kevin fantastic,

57
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,639
thirty six minutes again after you know, doing that the

58
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,000
previous night. Hey, Tar Easton played it back to back

59
00:03:22,039 --> 00:03:23,879
for the first time in a couple of years. There

60
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,159
were some positives Reed Shepherd hot was hot from a three,

61
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,360
not so much in the second half where he was

62
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,479
on the bench. No, yeah, that's true. Rockets. Twitter is

63
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:37,159
very upset he was not on the floor in the

64
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,120
last sequence, Yeah, they were. Did he may ever give

65
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,360
an explanation to that. I could not find anything. I

66
00:03:43,639 --> 00:03:45,280
don't know. I didn't catch the post game because I

67
00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:49,360
wasn't working the post game, but I imagine he was

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,479
asked about it because Reid was, you know, five to

69
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:59,199
ten from three, love it, and and that last sequence

70
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,960
it was they were down one, right, they were down

71
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,199
two because it would have the free throw tied the game.

72
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,000
And then Kawhi Leonard hits the mid range. He's fouled

73
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,560
very late by Jayshon taperm byham fenterfact, didn't even see

74
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,199
it until after the basket went in that there was

75
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,879
a foul call. So they wind up being down three,

76
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,480
and that's why they went for the three point shot.

77
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,560
The ball went to Shngoon, kicked it off his lee

78
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:23,040
knee slash leg and ended in the hands of Tari

79
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,160
and then he just put up with a shot that

80
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,319
had no chance and his foot was on the line,

81
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:29,439
so it wouldn't acount. It wouldn't have been a three anyways, Oh,

82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,959
I hate when you bring up the semantics. I'm sorry

83
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,800
it wasn't close. So yeah, Rockets are thirty three and

84
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:39,519
twenty at the break, eighteen and seven and home. And

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,120
now it'll be Reed Shepherd representing the Rising Stars Challenge,

86
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,160
and then Oupura and Shangoon and Kevin Durant representing the

87
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,560
Rockets in the real All Star Game. And Kevin Durant

88
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,240
spent some time talking about how the Euros have got

89
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,519
to stop bragging about how awesome they are and actually

90
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,560
compete in the All Star Games. So we'll be playing

91
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,199
some of that audio later on the show. That'd be interesting. Yeah, Okay,

92
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,879
here's the conundrum. Uh, this is the official All Star

93
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,120
Break Again, it's very late. We've order the Rockets have

94
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,920
played fifty three games, there's twenty nine left, so it's

95
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,920
not a it's not a mid season classic. And I

96
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:17,639
have been the leader of and I remain a leader of.

97
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:21,720
I hate All Star Games, and I know there's a

98
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,519
lot of financial dollars and uh put to this, there's

99
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,079
a big corporate sponsorship to it. Everything is sponsored by them.

100
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,120
I'm sure there'll be logos all of those lowest sponsors

101
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,759
on it. It's a drag, and the NBA continues to

102
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:37,439
try to figure out some way for us to be interested.

103
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,240
You know, the number one way of keeping an interested

104
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,079
ross is having the players interested. They're trying, No, they're not.

105
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,519
They're then the players are not trying. No league is trying.

106
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,639
Say the league is trying. The league is trying. I

107
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:51,040
mean they went with the Remember they did the draft

108
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,000
and like, whoever gets drafted last is gonna be all upset, right,

109
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,279
and they I mean they then they with Kevin Durant

110
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:01,279
as the captain and bron James as the captain. Now

111
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,439
they're doing USA versus the World. I mean, yeah, they

112
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:07,199
keep trying to reinvent the wheel. It's not working. It's

113
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,160
like a it's like a restaurant that was doing something

114
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,000
that worked for years and years and years, and then

115
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,480
now they're all of a sudden, like let's add wings

116
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,120
to the menu, or let's add this or that, so

117
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,199
that they're trying to reinvent the menu, and nobody just

118
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:21,079
wants to come because the quality of the food is

119
00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:23,199
still not good. You can add whatever you want to

120
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,319
the menu, but the food not good. Nobody's coming. This

121
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:28,959
is a bad comp Uh. Oh, go ahead, rocking the rocks,

122
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:33,120
always trying to add new stuff. They're going. They going

123
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,680
with the protein bowls, now, well they've got They went

124
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,639
with the chicken feet to pet up many years ago.

125
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,839
Then they wasn't bad. They went with the egg rolls, yes,

126
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:46,439
and then they went with uh starting with breakfast. Yeah.

127
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:49,319
I think they're thriving though. Rocking the Rocks is. I

128
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,399
think so. I mean, I the only is the time

129
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:54,519
I ever hear about. I mean, for the fast food restaurants.

130
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,360
Thriving is basically Rick Laying and Rick Renalds. Yeah, they're

131
00:06:57,399 --> 00:06:59,480
not the Yankees or the Dodgers, but they're like a

132
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:05,600
the Cubs. Racking Rocks is yeah, okay, you know what,

133
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:07,959
I don't even know how you would stack it up?

134
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,319

164
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,840
a tough It was a tough horrible. I mean it

165
00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:58,039
tasted fine, but it's just too expensive for hot dogs.

166
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,080
It just is. Yeah. I think I spent forty six

167
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,799
dollars on the three of us or something like that.

168
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,399
And Jonathan only got one dog.

169
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 6: Yeah that's crazy.

170
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,639
Speaker 2: I got three dogs and giving one of mine to you. Yeah,

171
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,360
I took one. You took a dog. Huh. Yeah, that

172
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:19,279
was a regretful. The next day, the stakes were made.

173
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:22,360
Oh there's not another radio show that's giving you fast

174
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,240
fooding rockets in the same conversation. There just isn't. You

175
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,480
can guess and discuss the Texans of free agent needs,

176
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,799
or you can actually be entertained for a few hours.

177
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,960
How did this even start? We were talking about, said

178
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,840
jacket of boxes, the cubs, the cubs of the fast world,

179
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,919
the Chicago cubs of the fast food world. Yeah, you're right.

180
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,519
Nobody else is given nobody to go and this is

181
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,879
the content you need, well you just because it's look,

182
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:49,519
it's lighthearted for the middle of the day. Yeah, you

183
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:51,320
want to talk about the Rockets turn them ball over

184
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,879
twenty one time, I want to do that. I'm not

185
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:55,320
a big fan of talk about Kawhi Leonard cooking the

186
00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:58,039
Rockets in the fourth quarter and not getting doubled in

187
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,399
the last possession. Well, that's what I mean. When I

188
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:03,840
did the call, I was like, did he just they

189
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,440
just give him the ball and he just wiggled his

190
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,080
way around or was there something that the Rockets defensively

191
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,600
could not do? They I mean, men, Thompson was draped

192
00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:14,080
all over him and jay Sean Tait was behind him. Yeah,

193
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:19,120
and that's where the late whistle came in. So twenty

194
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,480
three points in the second half for Kawhi Leonard, nineteen

195
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:26,120
of them in the fourth quarter, I know, called them

196
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:29,000
all men Thompson was on. I mean, men, Thompson was

197
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
playing good defense. You play good defense. But Kawhi Leonard,

198
00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:34,320
I mean, he's a freaking Hall of Famer. Kawhi Leonard

199
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:36,480
is a Hall of Famer. Now he's a Hall of

200
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:38,480
not playing a whole lot, but he's a Hall of

201
00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:42,200
playing his best basketball in three seasons, safe to say.

202
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:43,960
So that we got that to get to today on

203
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:49,639
the radio show we have, I mentioned Kevin Durant speaking

204
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:54,080
out on the international flavor of the NBA basically with

205
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:57,840
Katie hears, and Katie's very socially aware of everything because

206
00:10:57,879 --> 00:11:00,960
he's on Twitter all the time. Is that the NBA

207
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,200
game sucks. What he hears generally speaking, not for Mary

208
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,000
Vall Star game. Yeah, well, I mean he's talking about

209
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,279
the entire sport too. Everything about the NBA sucks. He's like, well,

210
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,759
you know what, guess what if the NBA international flavor

211
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,279
is taking over the league, in which I believe seven

212
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,279
the last eight NBA MVPs are from Internet, from not

213
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,440
the United States, then they those guys got to start

214
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,759
bearing the responsibility of but too, he doesn't want to

215
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:25,759
wear the NBA sucks and he happens to be the

216
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:28,639
greatest American player going on. Well obviously m Lebron James.

217
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:30,639
That's what his point was. So we'll get to some

218
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,360
of that on the show today. Also, Uh, what's I

219

And there is an Athletic poll. You know how they

230
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,399
always get those behind the scenes polls of anonymous questions

231
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,960
they asked the NFL players. I find those fascinating. We'll

232
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,840
talk about what the Athletic found out about NFL players.

233
00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:12,600
That's coming up between now and two o'clock. It is

234

ten o'clocker's Sports Talk seven ninety. All right, it's Matt

236
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,159
and Ross. We're gonna check in with Tony at the

237
00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:24,279
bottom of the hour, and then in about twenty minutes

238
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,960
from now, twenty five minutes from now, we're gonna hear

239
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,879
from Kevin Durant. He made a quote. Michael Shapiro of

240
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:32,159
the Chronicle asked a question to him about the quote

241
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,919
unquote old heads competing at the All Star Game, and

242
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:36,480
he had a funny response to that, he said, you

243
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,960
know what, stop talking to ogs. We're about the Internationals,

244
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,159
the Euros, the Jokices, the Dontices. They were showing video

245
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,440
of previous All Star Games where guys were throwing the

246
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,000
ball sixty feet in the air to hit the glass.

247
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:52,960
I could find the teammates, they could dunk it in

248
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,320
after that. It it is a of all the jokes.

249
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,720
I mean, I look, I take my shot to the

250
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:03,000
NFL and they play a flag football, which is utterly ridiculous,

251
00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:05,799
and thank god people didn't watch, but they actually put

252
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,039
these people on a real court they're supposed to be playing.

253
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,879
So I'm telling you Ross, if they don't play hard

254
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:16,879
for this, then Adam Silver's going to have a really

255
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,480
deep conversation about scraping the whole thing that it's not

256
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:25,039
gonna happen, no chance. I don't understand why why do

257
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,559
they have to play hard? Why do they have to

258
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:28,960
try to go out there and risk injury?

259
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 4: Do they?

260
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: You shouldn't do it at all. If you're having an Internet,

261
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,559
if you're having in a mid season classic, whatever you

262
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,840
want to call it, a spectacle to highlight the stars,

263
00:13:38,159 --> 00:13:42,519
you shouldn't be highlighting horrible pickup games. That's what they said.

264
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,000
These are horrible pick up That's what it is. Man,

265
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:47,200
I go to the Lifetime Fitness and with this full court. Man,

266
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,720
you get tired, But you're not an all Star. You're right,

267
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:52,559
I'm gonna all start life time. I'm an all start

268
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,600
in my own mind. Well that's true. I mean you're

269
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,440
all star in summer story.

270
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 7: Yeah.

271
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,039
Speaker 2: I mean there's people who don't go to the other

272
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,840
don't even go to the other end of the floor

273
00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,159
on full court. Yeah, do you take your shirt off

274
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,679
or you scared? Are you a skins guy? Why would

275
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,360
I take my shirt off? Shirts and skins, I haven't

276
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,080
take I haven't played with my shirt off since like

277
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,120
tenth grade. Okay, so you're just protecting the goods, I

278
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,159
got you. Yeah, what do you mean you gotta keep

279
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,639
everything intact? No, No, I I think it embarrasses that. Yeah,

280
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:19,080
if they should go out there and play like they're

281
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:22,080
they're Kobe Bryant or something like that in Game seven

282
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,879
of the finals, it's just not I you think if

283
00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:26,200
you're expecting that, it's not gonna be realistic. But even so,

284
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:29,000
it's an exhibition game. Even going back to the early

285
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,519
nineteen nineties, they gave a damn. Kobe and Michael and

286
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:34,000
n Keem gave a damn. David Robinson gave a damn.

287
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:36,759
Maybe if we watch those games, how hard were they playing.

288
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:39,799
I don't know, harder than now, of course. Yeah. And again,

289
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,799
I'm not asking for this to be a playoff game,

290
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,480
and I'm not asking for guys sitting nasty. I mean,

291
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:47,440
I'm looking for the Pistons to play. I mean, put

292
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,600
it that way. But no, I think I think there

293
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,320
is a you can go to the guys in the

294
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,279
locker room, shut the door and say give a damn.

295
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:57,879
And every time they've been saying for the last fifteen years,

296
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,639
it goes in one air and out the other, and

297
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:02,840
it comes more and more of embarrassing. And I love

298
00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:09,080
the sport of basketball. I fight constantly with our audience.

299
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:14,519
Embrace the world of basketball. It's a wonderful sport, the

300
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:17,039
best players in the world. And this crap that they

301
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,000
put out the last five years doesn't help our cause

302
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,039
it just doesn't. And I'm I want it to be better.

303
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,360
It doesn't. But I understand why they don't. Why why

304
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,919
they don't try, uh, the why they they don't want

305
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:28,639
to go out there and like I said, get hurt.

306
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,399
If you don't try you should then you should just

307
00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:34,440
stop doing it. There's there's there's no value, and helpfully

308
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,759
people tune it out and they're starting to do it

309
00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:39,440
little by little. And here's the thing you can you

310
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,360
can talk about the numbers and the reach and the influencers.

311
00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:46,840
If x y z inlooks face it, the biggest automobile

312
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:49,600
sponsor in the NBA is Kia. If Kia doesn't get

313
00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:52,000
return value on this, they're gonna they're gonna stop pulling.

314
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,960
They're gonna pull the money out. Yeah, and that's when

315
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,000
they will figure something out or get rid of it. Yeah.

316
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,919
The money's pouring in and they keep trying to rein

317
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:02,039
in the wheels trying to do so. It's onto the

318
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,519
it's onto the sponsors. If the sponsors don't get value

319
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:06,440
off of it, then NA should the nahould They should

320
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,600
put their foot down because that's what that moves the needle.

321
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,120
It just doesn't everything. You're not going to be able

322
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:13,679
to do anything outside of money. And it's gonna take

323
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,399
a lot of money, like money that the sponsors aren't

324
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,799
gonna want to pony up. Talking about more than a

325
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:20,559
million dollars a person. I would make it a three

326
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,679
day weekend and goes to a beach for a couple

327
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:24,879
of days and then just kick off the second half

328
00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:27,440
of the year. Maybe what if Kevin Durant goes into

329
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,000
the All Star Game and he's playing hard and he

330
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:33,080
tears his a cl That can also happened on a

331
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,159
practice field too. It could, but you're but you're also

332
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,440
you're exposing yourself. So you don't want baseball players to

333
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,919
play in the WBC, but you want NBA players. No, no,

334
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,120
I no, I no. I've been consistent. I don't want

335
00:16:44,159 --> 00:16:46,120
any All Star I'm done with it. Okay, So you

336
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,000
want the game to go I want it completely gone away. Yeah,

337
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:51,840
But if you're going to do it, and I know

338
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,039
there's a financial impact to it, at least shows some

339
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,639
assemblance of what the game, how beautiful the game is.

340
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,440
I mean, it would be nice to have it a

341
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,399
happier to what you're talking about. Maybe in the nineties

342
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,720
or whatever, but you needed it was more of a

343
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,920
showcase then, or even if you go back to the

344
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,799
old days like in the seventies, like the purpose of

345
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:10,200
the All Star Game was to say, hey, look at

346
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,240
these great like you have these floundering fledgling league, right,

347
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:14,839
and like, hey, look at all these great players. We

348
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,759
have come watch them and things like that, because in theory,

349
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:21,599
having Luca Durant and Lebron James on the same team

350
00:17:21,759 --> 00:17:26,200
sounds awesome, doesn't. Now it does, but nobody ever talks

351
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,400
about that. When I was a kid watching Magic Johnson

352
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,440
throw a pass into a kim Elijah wan Was, it

353
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:33,839
was awesome to me, and I and I and I

354
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,319
wish today's kids could appreciate it, but they they don't.

355
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:39,640
It's put their heads They're gonna put their heads down

356
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,039
and get on their phones. Well let's get well that's yeah,

357
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,319
we didn't have smartphones.

358
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,039
Speaker 6: Well, and that's the point you said yesterday you didn't

359
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,039
like what the influencers, But that's the whole point to

360
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:49,839
get to those kids, to make it interesting.

361
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: So it's not just passed by and they put the

362
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,079
heads out, you know what I mean, Get mister beast

363
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,680
out there, get the kids watching them. Let's go them,

364
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,880
mis john Then you're takings they're putting the influencers are

365
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,319
putting videos out to go, but watch on your phone.

366
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,279
That's how everybody's been watching I mean it's yes, twenty

367
00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:08,799
twenty six. I mean everybody's streaming, but nobody's But even

368
00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:11,119
even Adam Silver said, we're not a League of four,

369
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,039
league of highlights. No, the league is not built on highlights.

370
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,759
No wonder the re tension is terrible. We're showing eleven

371
00:18:17,839 --> 00:18:23,640
second clips that of great games. Nobody's got that attention span.

372
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,279
I mean it's a problem for everyone. It's a problem

373
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:27,559
for all the leaks. Yeah, hey, guess what, it ain't

374
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:29,480
gonna get better. Put your head down or worse, put

375
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:31,960
your heads down during timeouts when you're watching a red

376
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,960
panda do or thing. But during the game, lift up,

377
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,480
look up, it's a good game. Let's talk to Ryan

378
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,400
and Montgomery at ten twenty eight. Hi, Ryan.

379
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,799
Speaker 8: Borning, guys, I was gonna talk about the Rockets, but

380
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,400
you all seem to have gone on this day and

381
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,640
now I want to talk about this. But first I

382
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,359
couldn't sit idly by while you've besmirched the good name

383
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:50,799
of Jack.

384
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: Jack in the Box is amazing.

385
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,519
Speaker 8: They can reinvent whatever they want.

386
00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna eat it that being sick after midnight, yes,

387
00:18:57,519 --> 00:18:59,359
before midnight. No, let me tell you what they have.

388
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,039
They got good eyes rings. I don't give them, give

389
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:01,680
them credit for that.

390
00:19:03,319 --> 00:19:04,799
Speaker 8: Tacos. Come on, man, we can.

391
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has a lot of things, a lot of

392
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,440
things there.

393
00:19:09,759 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 8: Lunchie meals awesome.

394
00:19:11,279 --> 00:19:11,599
Speaker 9: Okay.

395
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 8: Anyways, all Star games, Matt, I agree, they have become

396
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,759
tragically bad. And now you're again you're competing with you know,

397
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:22,599
a league of Highlights. I mean, it's kind of been

398
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:25,640
away for a long time. That's why Sports Center even exists, right,

399
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,519
But also, no one's ever going to live up to

400
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,559
what the NHL All Star Game did? What was it

401
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,720
last year? That was insane? Nothing will ever compete with that.

402
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:40,319
The MLB All Star Game now is is just dumb

403
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,240
because they're not playing for where the World Series is

404
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,440
going to be anymore, So it doesn't matter they're not

405
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:48,359
you know, the NFL Pro Bowl, that's been a joke

406
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,160
for a while. There's there is no reason to have

407
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,279
an All Star game, and I'm sure hockey won't even

408
00:19:54,279 --> 00:19:56,920
do one now. But I agree that it should just

409
00:19:57,039 --> 00:19:59,599
go away, just be gone, and then do a celebrity

410
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,920
game or in like a like a showcase, like a

411
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,240
skills challenge, but the game itself should just be on

412
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,119
and uh, I'll hang up and listen.

413
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 2: Thank you guys, Thank you Ryan for the phone call.

414
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,279
I mean again, you you want to give give me

415
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,440
five give me six days off in or between the

416
00:20:16,519 --> 00:20:18,759
course of the season. How much would six extra days

417
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:21,880
off mixed in the calendar would help, would help retention

418
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,000
and keeping guys playing. I mean I don't I don't

419
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,640
have teams. I just still watch it. If you don't

420
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,279
like it. I don't understand when you have to call

421
00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:31,640
for the abolishment of it, because it's a huge interruption

422
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,000
of the season, and those six days away that they

423
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,240
could potentially get hurt, as you were saying before, could

424
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:40,279
be used towards actually playing games, keeping guys fresh, playing games,

425
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:42,920
having the guys not have rest. I mean, it doesn't

426
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,039
get zero eyeballs. Clearly they like the sponsorship dollars. Yeah,

427
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:49,279
they're not going to play hard, but I mean that's

428
00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:53,079
part of the reason why there's less injury risk. So

429
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,839
I don't know, Well, that means you don't like it,

430
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,279
just don't want I am a die hard basketball fan.

431
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,000
They don't get my eyes, so they don't want my eyes,

432
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,880
and that's okay, but they don't want my disposable income

433
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,240
because I got I got news for you. I can

434
00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:05,240
pay for things that the twenty one year olds can't

435
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,920
pay for. It's just the reality. Well, what are you

436
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,319
going to pay for?

437
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:08,559
Speaker 5: What?

438
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: From watching the game? Products? You just watch it products.

439
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:14,160
How many twenty two year olds can pay for a

440
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,519
forty one thousand dollars Kia? Not many? Well that's what

441
00:21:17,559 --> 00:21:21,519
they're Okay, that's up for Kia to decide. But I'm

442
00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:24,519
saying is that people that should be trying you twenty.

443
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:26,519
If you're if you're trying to get twenty two year

444
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:28,559
olds who don't have the disposable income of people that

445
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:30,359
are in the thirties and their forties, you're missing out

446
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,839
and thirty and I and I think thirty and forty

447
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,920
year olds are going to check out on this thing

448
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,359
because all you're doing is basically just making highlight films

449
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,400
to make sure twenty two year olds are satisfied. Now

450
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,920
you can get twenty rid of it completely, is the

451
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,400
solution I would get. I would get rid of all.

452
00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:47,880
I get rid of all playoffs, all all star games.

453
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,960
Maybe the baseball is starting is actually give a damn?

454
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,319
Why is baseball start going to give a dam and

455
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,440
the other ones don't I don't think do they They

456
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,039
don't throw lollipops, they throw fastball, Yeah, but I mean

457
00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:00,839
they die for the last time somebody got hit. I

458
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,160
don't know. I don't watch that All Star Game either. Yeah,

459
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,880
I mean you could be completely I mean, I look,

460
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,319
I'm never a huge All Star Game any Mostly there's

461
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,480
grooving fastballs and I mean, I don't know pictures are

462
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,480
getting bullpins in. Basically they're still swinging. It's more of

463
00:22:13,519 --> 00:22:16,799
a time it's a competitive me versus you sport. Yeah,

464
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,480
when it's a pitcher versus hitter. Yeah, I just if

465
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:23,960
you know, and if you're if you want, I just

466
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,000
think you want as many eyeballs on it as possible.

467
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:28,240
And I think people as they get older one competitiveness.

468
00:22:28,279 --> 00:22:30,319
That's all they're asking for. We're not asking for, you know,

469
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,559
eight second high like clips. Looking for a good basketball game,

470
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:34,160
and that's all that's all I'm asking for. But I

471
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,680
don't think we're gonna get it now. This year may

472
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,240
be different. But the problem is I won't know you're

473
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:40,839
you're gonna watch it for me on Sunday because I'll

474
00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:42,720
be traveling, So I don't know. I don't I'll be

475
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,400
traveling to on Sunday. Hey, but you get the fort

476
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,640
a lot earlier than I do, so I don't know.

477
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,680
I haven't checked my itenerary. I just sent it two

478
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,519
this morning. Okay, very busy, Okay, all right, Gordy's in Florida.

479

We'll talk with him next ten thirty two on seven

480
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,119
ninety ten thirty six on seven ninety Man and Ross

481
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,200
with you. We are going to go to West Palm Beach, Florida.

482
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,640
Right now where Ross and I will be Monday, Tuesday

00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,559
and Wednesday of next week. Right there now is Chris

484
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:11,039
Gordy with our spring turning update. Gordy, what did you

485
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:14,200
see in day number two of pitchers and catchers that

486
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:15,279
caught your fancy?

487
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:21,839
Speaker 4: Well, they did some PfP today and I will tell

488
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,200
you Tatsuya Amaya has a very quick release to first base.

489
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,640
It's almost like a shortstop throw. So that was something

490
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,839
that kind of stood out. But other than that, you know,

491
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,319
it's good to see a Lance McCullers junior out there,

492
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,599
and Christian Javier and you know Spitzer Raghetti. We spoke

493
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,480
with him this morning, who said he's feeling, you know,

494
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:45,839
feeling one hundred percent healthy and ready to get going.

495
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:49,680
Especially after his injury point season last year. So it's

496
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,279
all kind of coming together and noticeable too. I mean,

497
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:54,920
Renol Bloco and Hayden was Nesky are throwing back and

498
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,319
forth to one another, obviously not with a lot of velocity,

499
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,599
but you know, just almost a little bit of a

500
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,519
reminder on those guys that you know probably somewhere around

501
00:24:03,559 --> 00:24:05,960
All Star Break they'll be back too. And you know,

502
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,680
we talk about the competition right now for pitching that

503
00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:12,680
they kind of have a surplus. You'll have an even

504
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,000
more of a surplus when those guys get back mid season.

505
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: It does feel like to me, and this even before

506
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,079
you got down there, that there is clearly strengthen numbers

507
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,519
and that the fact that the sugar Lands squad may

508
00:24:24,559 --> 00:24:27,759
be awesome this year, but the reality is you're going

509
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:30,400
to need those numbers because last year we were the

510
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,519
Astros were searching for guys left and right just to

511
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:34,559
fill up a rotation spot and having to go all

512
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:36,720
over the place signing street free agents and guys that

513
00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:39,680
were claimed off waivers. Hopefully that will not be an

514
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,160
issue in twenty twenty six.

515
00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:45,599
Speaker 4: Well, and it's not just it's not just starters, it's

516
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,519
also you know relievers. We talked with, you know, Logan

517
00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:52,279
van Wy this morning, and that's another guy that's you know,

518
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,519
competing for a roster spot. You know, got a taste

519
00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:58,839
of the big leagues last year out of the bullpen,

520
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,000
but you know, even Oker this year and Brian King

521
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:06,160
and I mean so many different pieces that you know,

522
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,839
you get into a numbers game and you go, I

523
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:09,359
don't know if this guy has a role. I mean,

524
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,960
I interviewed Jason Alexander this morning. I'm going, where does

525
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,039
he fit in now? If you know, if everything else

526
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,960
is equal, sou And he was an important piece for

527
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,319
you for them last year. You know, it was a

528
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,440
pretty steady starter. So yeah, I mean, look, it's it's

529
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,839
easy to say that right now. Injuries are going to happen.

530
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,039
We did find out Nate Pearson had a little bit

531
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:33,799
of a setback, had some kind of elbow clean up recently,

532
00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:36,720
and so he's a little bit behind. Joe Spot wouldn't

533
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:39,279
really give specifics, but he did say our goal is

534
00:25:39,319 --> 00:25:41,960
to get him get him into some spring training games.

535
00:25:42,039 --> 00:25:43,799
So that kind of tells you a little bit on

536
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:47,720
where Nate Pearson is. But other than that, yeah, I mean,

537
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,039
it's it is just a ton of arms and the

538
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:53,880
spotty even said, like a lot of big dudes and

539
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,200
and it's you know, it does stand out like a

540
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,400
lot of physically tall, big guys and they all throw hard.

541
00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if he if Joe I mentioned this,

542
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,000
but is there any timetable when he wants to get

543
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,079
that six man rotation figured out? Or is it you

544
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:12,759
think it'll be right down to the last day Again,

545
00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:14,759
that could be just conjecturing your part right now.

546
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think it's easy to kind of

547
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,039
talk it talking out right. I mean, okay, so Hunter

548
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,119
Brown is the one. Either Hobvier or am I is

549
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,839
the two or the three. So that's your top three.

550
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,839
Arraghetti is your four, and so take the rest of

551
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,480
the pool of candidates for your five and six. And

552
00:26:35,519 --> 00:26:39,359
that's everything from Mike Burrows that they traded for and

553
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,839
fully expect him to be a starter. So if he's

554
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,640
one of those, then you only got one spot. And

555
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,200
that's for the remainder of you know, Lance mccullor's junior

556
00:26:48,319 --> 00:26:51,640
and you know, throwing all the other guys, Colton Gordon,

557
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,839
aj blue Ball. You know, the list goes on and on.

558
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,640
Ryan Weiss, I mean there's there's not a lot of

559
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,599
spot guys, Jason Alexander, I mean, it's it is a

560
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:03,640
surplus of pitching.

561
00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:08,039
Speaker 2: Talking with Chris Gordie out at West Palm Beach Willie's

562
00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:11,799
Grill and ice house bringing us this coverage. What about

563
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:15,680
the bullpen? Of course, we know Josh Hater going to

564
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,200
miss some time with the biceps thing, and you say, okay,

565
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,680
next man up, Brian to bray you. But what about

566
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,000
after that? How are we feeling the guys that you're

567
00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:25,279
kind of looking at are hearing about as far as

568
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,799
possible roles and and where they're going to get some

569
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:29,119
help in these leverage innings.

570
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think the easy one to go

571
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,359
to is Brian to bray you. And then obviously, you

572
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,400
know Bennett Sussa is the guy we were watching throw today.

573
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,160
You forget that he's a guy that had a handful

574
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,720
of saves for them a year ago. I want to

575
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,519
say he had four, you know, so I think if

576
00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:49,039
this thing does slide, if Hater's not ready to go

577
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:51,160
for the start of the season, you know, you probably

578
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,000
slide everybody back who kind of sold it as the

579
00:27:54,079 --> 00:27:57,319
ninth ending guy, which reminder he was a little shaky

580
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,480
last year in you know when he was called on

581
00:27:59,519 --> 00:28:03,960
the role. But Brian King Bennett sussa, I think they

582
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,720
feel pretty good about them. The other one that's interesting

583
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:11,279
is this Tang guy that that they got the Tylan

584
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,279
East pitcher and was just watching him through a little bit.

585
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:16,160
And Dana Brown has mentioned his name a couple of

586
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,799
times as a back end of the rotation guy, so

587
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,519
keep it out on him. But yeah, I mean all

588
00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:25,759
the other cast of characters are the same, Like I

589
00:28:25,839 --> 00:28:29,680
mentioned Ochred and you know Fan Why and all these

590
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,880
other guys that pitched last year, and I just got

591
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,000
a feeling guys, a lot of those middle to late relievers.

592
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:39,119
There's gonna be a tram going back and forth from

593
00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:40,200
sugar Land to Houston this.

594
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: Year, visiting a Gordie down in West Palm Beach. I

595
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,759
know you mentioned earlier on the Morning Show that some

596
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:49,519
of the position players are showing up. How intense of

597
00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:51,960
those workouts. I know you said, Carlos Great. Anybody else

598
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:52,920
that's appeared early on?

599
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,559
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, well Korea was was today. Have not seen

600
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,799
L two. They have not seen Jake Myers yet. But

601
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,839
again mondays to actual report day AW two as typically

602
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:09,519
the weekend, either Saturday or Sunday before players report is

603
00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:11,839
usually when he gets out here. But yeah, I mean

604
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,839
in Korea, as soon as he walked in, went around

605
00:29:13,839 --> 00:29:16,599
the entire clubhouse wapping up or shaking hands with every

606
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:19,160
guy in the clubhouse. And as Joe spot A noted,

607
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,960
I mean, that's that's what leaders do. That's leadership. So

608
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:25,160
and again something you didn't have from Korea at this

609
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:28,000
point a year ago. So it's good to have him

610
00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:31,079
back in there. But one guy that intrigues me a lot, guys,

611
00:29:31,119 --> 00:29:33,240
and we'll posted the interview on our sports Fox seven

612
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:37,519
ninety twitter, but that coal is. First off, the kid's

613
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:41,039
a specimen. I mean he he has muscles in every

614
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:44,839
part of his body popping out. But I mean it's

615
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,480
a kid that got up here in September and played well,

616
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,839
and they like him a lot. Dana Brown's mentioned his name,

617
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,079
and I think they are fully expecting Zach Cole to

618
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,920
have a good spring, and if he does, I think

619
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,839
he's in your everyday lineup. I think he's grabbing one

620
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,319
of those outfield spots and you know, see if they

621
00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:03,880
trade Jack Myers or if he's here to stay. But

622
00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:07,559
it certainly pencils Zach Cole into left field. He told

623
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,119
us this morning he's planning to play all three outfield

624
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,720
spots throughout spring training, and I would not pencil in

625
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:16,440
camp Smith's right field just yet. I mean, as as

626
00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:18,799
good as he wants to start last year those late

627
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:21,319
season struggles, he has a lot to prove this spring,

628
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:21,960
all right.

629
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,599
Speaker 2: I don't mean to put you on the spot here,

630
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:29,640
but if I've penciled in the three outfielders already, if

631
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,599
let's say Zach Cole sucks in March or camp Smith

632
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,240
is off to this little start, who are the backups?

633
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:39,039
Because this team does not have tremendous outfield death right now,

634
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:41,559
they don't.

635
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 4: You know. That's where I say, you know, keep an

636
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,039
eye on that eastcoc Paratus situation if they do trade him.

637
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,640
You know, we know that Bryce Matthews. They've talked about

638
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,319
getting him into some spring games to play a little

639
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:56,000
center field, so you know, maybe that could be an

640
00:30:56,039 --> 00:30:59,880
answer as well. But you're right. I mean, I was

641
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,400
surprised when they traded Jacob Away, and you know, they

642
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,839
were so high on him as a as an outfielder

643
00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:10,119
in the system, and so you're you're a little tight there.

644
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: The easy answer is, hey, sus Sanchez has major league experience.

645
00:31:13,319 --> 00:31:15,960
I mean, wasn't great since the deadline, that wasn't gonna

646
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,519
move the needle. Jordan could play some more left field,

647
00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:22,400
but that's not what Joe A. Spotta wants. Zach Descenzo

648
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:27,759
could play a role. But man, you that's why the

649
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,839
and I don't know what your thought on this is,

650
00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:32,440
that's why the parides talk will not go away. They

651
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:36,079
need a bonafide every day. I'm not looking for a

652
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,799
forty one to twenty guy, but somebody that has had

653
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:41,880
significant major league experience, because I would be safe to

654
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,599
say this would be the most inexperienced outfield combination in

655
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,319
Major League Baseball. If indeed it is, Cole Myers and

656
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,480
Smith open up the season and they're good, that's great.

657
00:31:51,599 --> 00:31:54,279
I don't care about agent experience. But there's just not

658
00:31:54,359 --> 00:31:58,039
a lot of lieutenants behind the three leaders.

659
00:31:58,519 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 4: So you say it like a Kyle to they could

660
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:05,480
use or something like that.

661
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: He's making sixty million dollars somewhere else. Yeah, and it's

662
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,880
all deferred till he's eighty eight. Until he's eighty eight

663
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,599
years old, so well, well, and I.

664
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:16,559
Speaker 4: Mean let's create a doomsday scenario here, guys. Let's I mean,

665
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,880
let's say Jake Myers has a bad spring, Cam Smith

666
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,400
is bat in two hundred and uh and Zach Cole

667
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,519
is over throughout Stord drinks. Is this what does this

668
00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:27,440
outfield group look like? Opening?

669
00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:33,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, there there's a world where it's three subpar outfielders.

670
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,160
I think it's a storyline, Gordy, that's gonna that's not

671
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,640
gonna go away for a while. Now again, if they

672
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,000
all come up and hit beautifully and we're not gonna

673
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,839
worry about it. But if you're saying create the storyline

674
00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:46,599
for twenty twenty six, number one is the crowded and

675
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:49,440
field number two is the outfield, everything else will play itself.

676
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,720
We talked about the depth and pitching. I think we're

677
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,839
gonna be the astros will be okay with even if

678
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400
a hater doesn't open up the year. I'm not overly

679
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,680
concerned about backup catcher because everybody's gonna be wried about

680
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,559
their backup catcher. I think they're rotation is gonna got

681
00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:04,839
plenty of options. But those two, the two things we're

682
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,880
talking about. One doesn't hurt a division race because if

683
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,519
you have extra infielders. You're in a good spot, but

684
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:13,359
a bad outfield no power can hurt you, especially if

685
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,119
you're all penciling them as a six, seven eight or

686
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:17,519
seven eight nine guys in your lineup.

687
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:21,559
Speaker 4: Well, and then your utility guy you added Nick Allen,

688
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:24,359
not exactly tearing the cover off the ball. I will

689
00:33:24,359 --> 00:33:27,240
tell you, guys, the ward I've heard multiple times yesterday

690
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,400
and today is defense. They want to pride themselves on

691
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,799
being a great defensive club. But that's great. Uh, you

692
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:36,720
can't have the timely hitting issues that you had for

693
00:33:36,799 --> 00:33:40,200
a good portion of last season because you're not going

694
00:33:40,279 --> 00:33:42,039
to sell a ton of tickets. People coming out to

695
00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:44,000
see a bunch of two to one and three to

696
00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:44,920
two ball games.

697
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 2: Well, I don't. I think and think. I think the

698
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:49,720
audience is smart and realized. You know, you don't care

699
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,200
if two to one you're gonna win baseball games. The

700
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,000
askers want to win baseball games, Well.

701
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 4: I I met losing two.

702
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,079
Speaker 2: To one point. Yeah, nobody, nobody wants to do that.

703
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,440
All right, we're gonna need some crawfish this weekend. What

704
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,079
we're gonna do it?

705
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Willie's a grill in ice House, multiple locations, all

706
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,679
over Houston and uh, yeah, they sent me some photos

707
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,760

708
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,320

744
00:35:40,079 --> 00:35:43,679
to stay alive. All right, we're late. My fault ten

745
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:50,280
forty nine, Matt Ross shot is sports talk seven ninety

746
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,119
all right? Suret second here because we were Gordy was

747
00:35:54,159 --> 00:35:58,679
talking about getting the red carpet treatment. I've never even

748
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,480
been a snob about eminem colors. I'm just all candy

749
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:05,039
tastes same to me. But there are some celebrities the same. Yeah,

750
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:07,719
there are some celebrities like they must not have brown

751
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,639
eminem's or something in their way. Well, a lot of

752
00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:11,480
people say that they do that just to make sure

753
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,159
they're paying attention to other demands. They'll just slip something

754
00:36:14,199 --> 00:36:17,199
in there, hmm, to see if the people are paying attention.

755
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,280
You know, like, uh, you're telling a story to your

756
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,159
wife and you can tell she's not paying attention, so

757
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,119
you slip in some of there about how you hit

758
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:26,800
a guy with brass knuckles and punch him in the throat,

759
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,239
just to see if she's she's paying attention. It's funny.

760
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,239
I did that to my wife just yesterday. She's like, man,

761
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,599
you look hot. I said, thank you. I said I

762
00:36:34,599 --> 00:36:36,679
haven't been told that in a week. And she's like what,

763
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,679
because I thought she was just flippantly saying it. Oh okay,

764
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:47,280
the mitner do a double take. No, like you're warm, yes,

765
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,679
ross because I was warm. I had a fever. I

766
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:53,119
don't know. You're always sweating her head when you eat.

767
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,920
That's true. Wondering hot sauce does it to me, that's

768
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,000
for sure, all right. I don't know where you guys

769
00:36:59,039 --> 00:37:00,960
were at a tie place or you never know that.

770
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,440
We got an athletic poll. Want to get to it

771
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:04,760
in the next hour of the show. I want to

772
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,119
let you hear what Kevin Durant said about uh, basically

773
00:37:07,199 --> 00:37:08,920
throwing the international players under the bus for the All

774
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,000
Star Game. He's like a playful manner, but he was

775
00:37:11,199 --> 00:37:13,599
he was being serious. Okay, So we'll get to that,

776
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,159
and we have I just don't get it coming up

777
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:16,800
at eleven thirty. So we got a lot going on

778
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,800
between now and two o'clock to day. It's a busy show.

779
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,679
We need people to call in and say hello, Yeah,

780
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,039
if they want to. I mean, we don't mind just

781
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:24,480
you and I just chick out, but we like it.

782
00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:26,840
But we like to call in our interaction. Yes, of course.

783
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,119

784
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:31,039
hate you, and we don't. We don't. We love you.

785
00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:32,960
We do love you. Now, we will not always agree

786
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,719

789
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,280
but generally speaking, it's okay. You do a great job.

790
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 10: Man.

791
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: By the way, shout out to my friend Kelvin Sampson uh,

792

00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,840
Kelvin next week, late in the week after we get

796
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,960
back from Florida, because a week from Saturday, the one

797
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:08,559
loss Arizona Wildcats come to town. It's a big matchup, folks.

798
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:13,159
So the Cougars have k State coming up first. Have

799
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:14,880
you heard the audio from k State coach? They got

800
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,800
their ass kick yesterday. He said the guys aren't going

801
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,559
to be on this team or something like that. I

802
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:21,480
saw that we should play some of that. We should.

803
00:38:21,519 --> 00:38:24,360
And then we have another big twelve coach Colorado who

804
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,960
was embarrassed by his performance. These big twelve coaches that

805
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000
are shaming themselves. So we'll play some of that for you.

806
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:36,960
But yeah, Arizona, Iowa State, and somebody else that's really

807
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:42,599
a juggernaut, Iowa State, Oh, Kansas three really tough Houston

808
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:45,159
games down the stretch. Then you get to lay up

809
00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:49,320
with Colorado before the tournament. So big twelve sounds like

810
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,280
it's all wins. It's a better be Gotta keep that

811
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,599
number two seed, keep that South region alive. Well, what's

812
00:38:54,639 --> 00:38:57,239
going on? Get that one seed, baby, let's go. I'll

813
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,159
talk to Kevin about that next week. Okay, ten fifty

814
00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:02,159
seven we get to to uh, some grumpy coaches and

815
00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:05,199

816
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:05,800
on seven.

817
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:17,440

00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,639
seven nine zero seven one three two one two five

828
00:39:35,679 --> 00:39:39,639
seven Honey, rockets last night committed too many turnovers and

829
00:39:39,679 --> 00:39:42,639
I think we're repeating ourselves. Unfortunately, that was it's just

830
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:44,280
gonna be what is what it is this year? No

831
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:45,440
twenty one turnovers.

832
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 11: That's like.

833
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:52,119
Speaker 2: Christian Wood rockets stuff and Kevin Porter Junior and Jalen Rookie,

834
00:39:52,199 --> 00:39:56,360
Jalen Green and our goat had eight of them. I know,

835
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,119
get him some rest. Don't trying the Star Game. He's

836
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,360
zero effort. He's gonna try in the All Star Game.

837
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,119
Listen to this. Here's Kevin Durant talking about man, stop

838
00:40:06,119 --> 00:40:09,000
going to us quote unquote old heads when it comes

839
00:40:09,039 --> 00:40:18,159
to competing in the All Star Game. I thought, I

840
00:40:18,559 --> 00:40:22,519
thought I sent it to you. No, that's that's the

841
00:40:22,559 --> 00:40:25,320
Colorado coach. Don't don't put the wrong on you, I thought,

842
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,679
I said to Kevin Durant, all right, Okay, well I thought,

843
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,199
I said, I thought I sent it to him. Okay,

844
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,880
we'll try it again. Uh. Basically saying is that, hey,

845
00:40:35,079 --> 00:40:37,000
I'm gonna give a damn. Why don't you tell Luca

846
00:40:37,079 --> 00:40:40,239
and you tell Wemby and the rest of the Euros

847
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,920
to give a damn Jokic. So uh oh, here it

848
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,880
is Europeans.

849
00:40:45,559 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 6: In the World team thing will compete because I look

850
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,599
at Luca Shows and Nicole jok Now, let's go back

851
00:40:52,639 --> 00:40:54,639
and look at what they do with the All Star Game.

852
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 2: Is that competition, So we have a question what they've

853
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:58,360
been doing.

854
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 12: But we're gonna question the.

855
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,639
Speaker 2: Old heads in Americans.

856
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 10: But these two dudes out there, Luca and Yokis, they

857
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,039
don't care about.

858
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 2: You should be laying on the floor. They shooting half court.

859
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,559
Speaker 6: But you gotta worry about the old hids playing hard

860
00:41:14,599 --> 00:41:15,360
between the lines.

861
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 2: Bro, I'm just thinking about the times. I'm just saying

862
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,639
that I can read between the lines, and it's not

863
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:23,280
just about you.

864
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 6: It's just an overall topic that everybody's talking about.

865
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,559
Speaker 12: You just have to.

866
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: Ask you that question.

867
00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 2: Hmm, there's an awkwardmedia lite was a general chuckling. I mean,

868
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,400
he's funny. I thought it was funny because he's not

869
00:41:35,519 --> 00:41:37,440
being serious. But he I mean he is, but he's not.

870
00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:40,360
There's truth to every joke, well most jokes. Oh, I

871
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:44,559
believe that to be accurate. Yeah, so he he wants uh.

872
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,280
I asked the question to Nicole Yokichen why he's putting

873
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,320
up half court shots? So don't you so? Jokic will

874
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,519
be asked tomorrow the media day, do you care about

875
00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:55,400
the All Star Game? Ago? I don't even care about

876
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,519
the He doesn't. He doesn't even care about the NBA finals.

877
00:41:57,519 --> 00:41:58,920
So we used to get home to his horses. I

878
00:41:59,079 --> 00:42:02,599
live I triple double every single night, and I don't care.

879
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,400
He wants to just go and brush his horses. He

880
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,119
didn't care about the finals. He has twenty triple doubles

881
00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:12,239
this year. That's it. That's it. Miss also missed a month. Yeah,

882
00:42:13,039 --> 00:42:15,239
there was, wasn't there some video he was talking about

883
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,039
going for Russell Westbrook's. I guess Russell Westbrook has a

884
00:42:18,079 --> 00:42:22,719
triple double record, right, I think so Oscar Robertson's gotta

885
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,920
be up there as well. That of course, but my

886
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,320
guess is Russell, because of his longer tenure, has probably

887
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:27,719
gotten more.

888
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

889
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:32,119
Speaker 2: Russ is one, Jokich is two all time, Oscar Robertson three,

890
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,360
Magic Johnson, Lebron James Form five. Yeah, how do you

891
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,320
celebrate Yokis when you become the all time triple doubles leader.

892
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,280
I'm gonna go take a break. One hundred and eighty

893
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:50,320
four triple doubles. He he's not thirty one yet. I

894
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,440
told you what I said. He's top fifteen. Now I

895
00:42:52,559 --> 00:42:54,840
got to put him in there. So he's getting the

896
00:42:54,880 --> 00:43:00,360
top ten when he's done, done, done, which always access

897
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,880
I have an uncomfortable conversation. Who were bumping out three

898
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:08,920
time MVP. Did Larry Bird win? He probably maybe won three.

899
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,960
Greatest passing center ever in the history of the NBA.

900
00:43:12,119 --> 00:43:14,559
Most MVPs I believe is Kareem at six and I

901
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:17,000
think Jordan at five. Then there's a couple of guys

902
00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:18,679
who have four. Lebron won't be in one of them.

903
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,480
Are we kicking Larry Bird out? Are you gonna do that?

904
00:43:21,679 --> 00:43:24,039
Who's I didn't say that. I'm just asking though as

905
00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:26,960
a friend, I will. I mean, I didn't really watch

906
00:43:27,039 --> 00:43:29,320
him play a ton, so I have a bad perspective

907
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,039
on it, Hine. Mostly I watched him and he had

908
00:43:33,039 --> 00:43:38,000
a broken back for the Dream Team, insane competitor, incredible,

909
00:43:38,079 --> 00:43:41,960
dead eye shooter. If you talk about you know how

910
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,880
Michael was known for the dagger big jumpers, Larry Bird

911
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,719
did it the same way. He just did it. He

912
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,400
did it with more primeter than Michael would slash the

913
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,280
lane and drive lambs or get dunks. Larry Bird would

914
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,079
just hit three pointers and baseline three and long two

915
00:43:58,119 --> 00:44:00,519
point shots would just kill your soul. Okay, I'm just

916
00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:02,760
gonna give you the list. Three or more MVPs I

917
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,199
already said Kareem and Jordan, Bill Russell had five, which

918
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:12,280
I forgot, Wilt Lebron with four. Three would be Bird, Magic,

919
00:44:13,039 --> 00:44:17,000
Moses Malone, and Jokic. He's already on that list. Well,

920
00:44:17,079 --> 00:44:18,960
Moses on the top ten list. So that one, when

921
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,280
we're about that, No, the top ten list, you're saying

922
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,480
goodbye to you. Magic Johnson and Larry Burg won the

923
00:44:24,559 --> 00:44:29,000
MVP twice with the Rockets. That is legendary. Once with

924
00:44:29,079 --> 00:44:33,320
the Sixers. Young Matt love Mo Malone. Young Matt loved

925
00:44:34,159 --> 00:44:36,920
Mom Malone when he would come and when I was

926
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:38,639
doing you of h games and Elvin was there, and

927
00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:39,960
Mo would come over and say hi to us. So

928
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,039
it makes you Elvin not to me. But that's fine

929
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,719
here there. I was still mesmerized. Man, I guess Moses Malone,

930
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,159
Kareem got three with the Lakers and three with the Bucks. Okay,

931
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,199
Ross is kicking out Magic Johnson and Larry Bird said,

932
00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:52,880
I didn't say any of that. Well, we're gonna have

933
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,880
to have that visit down the road. Yeah, I mean

934
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,920
he's getting in these conversations with everyone I just mentioned. Okay,

935
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:05,280
so uh yeah, So Durant just wants a professional approach

936
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,400
at the All Star break. I hope it gets it.

937
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,519
I hope that when I watched the highlights, because that's

938
00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:12,039
what I'll be doing, is I'll be traveling on Sunday,

939
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,440
that they'll be like, man, this was the best All

940
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:16,960
Star game in the last twenty five thirty years. We

941
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:19,199
can reinvigorate it because if the NBA is set on

942
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,519
having it, then you might as well make it competitive

943
00:45:21,519 --> 00:45:24,159
and at least give us some assemblance of the best

944
00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:25,800
in the world. Give a damn for a couple of hours.

945
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,599
Speaker 10: I think it was.

946
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:29,320
Speaker 2: It was one of the years where I think it's

947
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,880
maybe the first year they had the draft, it was better.

948
00:45:33,199 --> 00:45:36,519
I'm trying to remember. It was a few years ago

949
00:45:36,559 --> 00:45:38,440
where it was actually there was some there was a

950
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,480
little bit of company. When one team got the two hundred.

951
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,119
That's when people are like, you know what, you can

952
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,519
have your game. Uh, twenty twenty four was two eleven

953
00:45:44,519 --> 00:45:49,320
to eighty six. I don't even remember this. I forgot

954
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,599
about this now until now. Last year it was Chuck

955
00:45:51,639 --> 00:45:55,199
and Kenney and Shack and Canvas picking teams. So it

956
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,400
was TV driven, wasn't There wasn't there one year where

957
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,000
you had to score a certain number of points first

958
00:45:59,039 --> 00:46:01,000
to that number one the game, the elam ending. I

959
00:46:01,159 --> 00:46:02,679
like that, that was good. I want them to do

960
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:07,079
that in the overtime. Oh, first to fifteen regular season only.

961
00:46:08,039 --> 00:46:12,440
Huh first to fifteen? Who needs triple overtime in the

962
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,519
regular season. It doesn't have very ham it doesn't, but

963
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,480
it at least double overtime happens. It feels like that.

964
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,519
That's that's fair. And especially when you're on back to

965
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:25,679
backs and all this stuff. First to fifteen, what's up?

966
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,199
You know what if you're gonna do that, do it

967
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,719
for the playoffs too, well, it wouldn't be gimmicky. You're

968
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,000
still having to compete hard. Okay. Yeah, I mean I'm

969
00:46:34,039 --> 00:46:36,599
not a super big fan of changing rules for regular

970
00:46:36,639 --> 00:46:38,920
season into postseason. I know it has to happen because

971
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,320
I know you can't play football games that are six hours.

972
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,480
But baseball it makes sense too. Yeah, I mean baseball

973
00:46:44,599 --> 00:46:48,599
is there, let's go home. Yeah. The thing about baseball,

974
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:50,519
the difference is that you don't want you run out

975
00:46:50,519 --> 00:46:52,119
of arms and you're sitting in the nineteenth inning of

976
00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:54,320
a July Mundane baseball game and you wind up ruining

977
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,559
your season because you've went to your seventh pitcher for

978
00:46:56,639 --> 00:46:58,360
the six consecutive day. All of a sudden, you got

979
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,719
capsule sprains and biceps ten good all bad juju words

980
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,039
for astro fans, that is for sure. Seven one three, two,

981
00:47:06,079 --> 00:47:09,960
one two five seven. And I was talking about coaches

982
00:47:10,039 --> 00:47:14,440
that are grumpy, so uh and I know you're a

983
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:19,320
big connoisseur of Texas Tech basketball. Ross, No, I'm not. Okay,

984
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,239
play with me as we go along. Okay, here the

985
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:27,079
legendary Darvin Ham. Uh, yeah there was Lance Hugh. Lance

986
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,119
Hughes was a white guy used to dunk for text Tech,

987
00:47:29,199 --> 00:47:31,679
went back in the day. Okay, yeah, who's that a

988
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,079
guy that was there for like ten years? Andre Imtt

989
00:47:34,119 --> 00:47:35,880
or something like yeah, Andre, that's right. That's a good

990
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,920
call on your part. So yesterday, uh, Texas Tech hosted

991
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,320
Colorado and Colorado won by thirty four points. No excuse me,

992
00:47:43,559 --> 00:47:46,639
Texas Tech one thirty thirty four seventy eight to forty

993
00:47:46,679 --> 00:47:51,119
four was the final score. Okay, something called Tad Boyle,

994
00:47:51,199 --> 00:47:52,360
he's the coach of Colorado.

995
00:47:53,599 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 8: Boil.

996
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 2: If you have a name called Tad Boil, that doesn't

997
00:47:55,599 --> 00:47:58,679
it sounds like you should be a yacht captain. It

998
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,480
was like, your basketball Is that just short for Thatius? Yes? Okay,

999
00:48:02,519 --> 00:48:05,039
because I used to work for a Tad who is Statius?

1000
00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 9: Oh?

1001
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,639
Speaker 2: Who's that Tad Brown? Okay? Whose son in law is

1002
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:09,480
Jared Sidham?

1003
00:48:09,639 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 9: I know.

1004
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,239
Speaker 2: And Tad was a long time president of the Rockets.

1005
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,440
Now he's in charge of three teams, the Commanders, the

1006
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:23,960
Devils and the seventy six ers. Wow, conglomerate there. So

1007
00:48:24,119 --> 00:48:27,800
Tad Brown met with the media yesterday. That Tad Brown.

1008
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,320
Oh yeah, my fault. Yeah, I'll take the brain blame

1009
00:48:32,519 --> 00:48:36,480
and the blame and the Walliam too, Tad Boyle, Now

1010
00:48:36,599 --> 00:48:40,760
you tell me, is he asking to be fired when

1011
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,320
you say these thirty four golden seconds of commentary? I,

1012
00:48:44,519 --> 00:48:46,559
oh knows.

1013
00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 4: All?

1014
00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:54,599
Speaker 2: Is it running? I don't hear it. I don't hear

1015
00:48:54,639 --> 00:48:56,440
it either. It's just a good old fashion.

1016
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 13: There's just no their way to say it. You know, everybody,

1017
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,360
I love you guys are from West Texas, you probably

1018
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:04,960
know what that is.

1019
00:49:05,039 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 2: And we took one tonight.

1020
00:49:07,159 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 13: So credit Texas Tech. You know they have a motto

1021
00:49:10,599 --> 00:49:13,199
with their program that the toughest team wins. And there

1022
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,639
wasn't even question who the tougher team was tonight And

1023
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,440
that was the that was Texas Tech, and we weren't.

1024
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:25,719
And so I'm embarrassed by our performance. I'm embarrassed for

1025
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,960
a university. I'm embarrassed for the city of Boulder. I'm

1026
00:49:29,039 --> 00:49:32,239
embarrassed for the state of Colorado. I'm embarrassed for every

1027
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,039
former player that's worn this uniform.

1028
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 2: And we got to own this.

1029
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,199
Speaker 13: But you know, when you give up seventeen offensive rebounds,

1030
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:43,280
the biggest.

1031
00:49:43,039 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tad. He was not overly pleased. He basically said,

1032
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,880
I suck, My players, suck, my school fields. Should be

1033
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:54,400
embarrassed by everybody who's ever Warren the jersey, who's the

1034
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,280
greatest Colorado basketball player of all players in the NBA

1035
00:49:58,519 --> 00:50:00,480
I and within the last two three years, I just

1036
00:50:00,519 --> 00:50:02,239
can't remember on somebody roab me back in the day

1037
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,440
it was pretty good. But I don't think you know

1038
00:50:03,639 --> 00:50:05,840
there's somebody that's been in the last five years to

1039
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:09,760
play for Carla. Yeah, but I mean, don't you kind

1040
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,920
of I mean, self deprecation is appreciated at times, but

1041
00:50:15,639 --> 00:50:17,239
I don't know how thin of an ice ted boil

1042
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,239
is on there in Colorado. But that doesn't normally help

1043
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,039
when you basically help write your obituary Alec Burks, their

1044
00:50:23,079 --> 00:50:26,199
all time points leader. He might have been the Colorado

1045
00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:28,239
guy I was talking about look for Utah jazz for

1046
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,840
a while. I want to say, m yeah, so yeah,

1047
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,440
I don't know if that's where you want to go.

1048
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,400
There's a fine line between we didn't play hard enough

1049
00:50:38,559 --> 00:50:40,760
and I'm mad at my guys than basically saying we

1050
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,280
need to apologize to any student that ever went to Colorado.

1051
00:50:43,639 --> 00:50:46,360
If your grandmother's grandmother was a student at University of Colorado,

1052
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:52,280
we apologize. Derek White Colorado. Yeah, Boston Celtic, great legend.

1053
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,519
I knew was somebody I recognized recently. There you go,

1054
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,480
all right, So what do you think do you go?

1055
00:50:58,599 --> 00:51:00,920
If you're a CEO A lot you're like, man, thanks

1056
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,519
for saying that. It makes me feel I mean, what

1057
00:51:02,639 --> 00:51:03,400
do you want him to go?

1058
00:51:03,519 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 4: Say?

1059
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,199
Speaker 2: Would you get you said? I asked, seventy eight to

1060
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:11,320
forty four? Yeah, they almost doubled you up in Division

1061
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,480
one major college basketball in a Power four league. But

1062
00:51:15,599 --> 00:51:19,239
then I l and money. Then I almost been going

1063
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:24,440
all to Oldeon. Yeah, basketball squads are not looking so hot.

1064
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,360
They're four and eight in the Big Twelve. No, we

1065
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,039
got another coach. We're gonna play a little bit later

1066
00:51:28,199 --> 00:51:30,320
that basically is it the Kansas State one? Yeah, I

1067
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:31,960
want to hear that. Yeah, we'll play that coming back.

1068
00:51:32,119 --> 00:51:34,079
I do want to get you to this Athletic survey

1069
00:51:34,199 --> 00:51:37,480
about you know, sometimes when you don't ask the person's

1070
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:39,199
name or say, hey, we'll keep all of this in

1071
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,039
between us and won't tell you, we won't announce who

1072
00:51:42,039 --> 00:51:43,960
you're saying, they're a little more forthcoming. That's how general

1073
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,159
people are in life, right. Yes, I'm not gonna put

1074
00:51:46,159 --> 00:51:47,599
your name behind it, but what do you think about

1075
00:51:47,639 --> 00:51:50,679
this person? Like when you talk about Clainton, Oh, all

1076
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,880
the time, all the time, but we have to attach

1077
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,480
your name to it, so you kind of saw play though.

1078
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,920
Imagine if what you'd say about Adam if you didn't

1079
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,320
have to mention, Oh my god, be incredible. All right,

1080
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,400
So yeah, uh, the Athletic has an NFL survey about

1081
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,960
a variety things including Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny made the

1082
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:12,239
survey list. Oh really, Yeah, I'm curious. You'll stay tuned

1083
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,320
to fin out exactly what players thought about a variety

1084
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,039
of things, including concussions and bad Bunny. But right now,

1085
00:52:17,159 --> 00:52:28,760
word for Big City Wings. No, the Athletic does these surveys,

1086
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,599
and this survey apparently was done before the Super Bowl,

1087
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,719
so the bad Bunny question is going to be a

1088
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,719
little dated. But that's not really the key part of

1089
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,159
the whole thing. It is Matt and Ross here on

1090
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,519
Sports Talk seven ninety seven to one three two one

1091
00:52:41,599 --> 00:52:43,960
two five at seven ninety seven one three two one

1092
00:52:44,079 --> 00:52:46,719
two five seven ninety Now, they were not like I

1093
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,760
was doing some more reading about this. This is not

1094
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,440
about yes or no. This was basically trying to get

1095
00:52:52,519 --> 00:52:55,199
quotes from NFL players. So we don't know if they

1096
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,239
were stars, if they were special teamers. We have no

1097
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,559
idea who these people are. Okay, but it's it's synonymous.

1098
00:53:00,599 --> 00:53:02,280
So it's just going to be a random push here

1099
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:06,119
of people, a variety of questions that were asked. One

1100
00:53:06,159 --> 00:53:10,559
of them was number one, how do you feel about

1101
00:53:10,559 --> 00:53:14,000
the tush push? Is it time for the tush push

1102
00:53:14,159 --> 00:53:18,880
to be outlawed? Responses? It's a dumb rule, dumbest roll

1103
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,599
we've had in a while. In my opinion, it's bull

1104
00:53:21,679 --> 00:53:26,360
blank rugby. Okay, I believe we were sold on the

1105
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,920
change being related to player safety. It just doesn't make

1106
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,199
sense to me, honestly, have you ever seen a plant

1107
00:53:32,519 --> 00:53:35,119
involving the tush push and then Texans use it themselves

1108
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:40,360
where it hasn't worked. I mean, how many times have

1109
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,320
you watched a tush push? Not its rare, but I

1110
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,400
feel like I have seen it not work very rare.

1111
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:48,599
I feel like the Texans botch one or two before.

1112
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,280
Are you presuming that or are you just you saw

1113
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,559
it yourself? I mean, who was the backup ten? And

1114
00:53:54,639 --> 00:53:56,800
that was the Reverend Jordan that was doing the snaps

1115
00:53:58,119 --> 00:54:00,800
still over, That's what it was. Yeah, he was doing

1116
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,920
good because you got to jump to the side because

1117
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,039
then everybody now everybody piles in the middle, and so

1118
00:54:05,119 --> 00:54:06,719
you got to find some room to the left of

1119
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,920
the right. Yeah. I don't like it because again it

1120
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,360
feels like it's indefensible. But the real reality is there

1121
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,079
should be more off side calls on the offensive side

1122
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,599
then they're not calling. That's the thing that bothers me.

1123
00:54:20,679 --> 00:54:23,360
You have to really be strict with its calls, and

1124
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,280
I think there's a lot of teams getting an unfair

1125
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,320
advantage because they're not calling the whistle because the guys

1126
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,119
are crossing line of scrimmas before they're supposed to be

1127
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,599
that would be my thought. Do NFL players ever hide

1128
00:54:33,679 --> 00:54:39,360
concussion syndrome symptoms? Here's what the variety people say on

1129
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,920
the athletic sometimes you go lights out for a second,

1130
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,400
you just have to play it off. NFL doesn't want

1131
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,920
to hear that, do they wross No, But I mean

1132
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,079
that's you could see that happening. Somebody will see they're

1133
00:54:52,119 --> 00:54:54,159
not lights getting knocked out, and their teammate will pick

1134
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,079
them up and try to get them off them off

1135
00:54:57,159 --> 00:55:00,039
the ground and stuff like that. Another person says, we

1136
00:55:00,079 --> 00:55:05,000
don't mess with brains. Smart. Yeah. The results were eighty

1137
00:55:05,079 --> 00:55:09,840
percent say no, they never tried to hide concussions since symptoms.

1138
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,400
Nineteen point five percent said yes. Next, football is about

1139
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:15,960
availability more than ability. You're going to hide whatever you

1140
00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:17,880
can do to be out there. I know it's shameful

1141
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:22,280
to say. That's shared by probably quite a few people.

1142
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:22,639
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1143
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not something you want to do, but it's

1144
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:29,639
what you do. How widespread sports betting affects NFL players.

1145
00:55:30,559 --> 00:55:34,119
One person says people have said they'd kill me. Another

1146
00:55:34,199 --> 00:55:36,920
person says people use slurs. People have said they'd killed me.

1147
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,719
In college after the National Championship Game, I got a

1148
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,199
lot of Venmo request. It's funny. I really don't even

1149
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,480
like watching football other than just playing it. I can

1150
00:55:47,519 --> 00:55:50,400
see that. Yeah. So the Athletic made an a full

1151
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,920
article out of every one of these questions. Okay, so

1152
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,079
I guess they did that for some good clicks. Have

1153
00:55:55,199 --> 00:55:57,119
you ever seventy percent of them say they have been

1154
00:55:57,159 --> 00:56:00,440
confronted by a fan or contacted about sports, bet losses

1155
00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:03,639
or fantasy football. It feels seventy percent. It feels low.

1156
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:05,440
That's low because I think we've deftually had a lot

1157
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,440
of long snappers. If you call out or the left guard,

1158
00:56:08,639 --> 00:56:11,079
I remember interviewing great players and Yester, you are saying

1159
00:56:11,119 --> 00:56:12,960
thank you for your service and your fantasy football helping

1160
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,079
me win. Yeah, that's kind of an inadvertent way of

1161
00:56:15,159 --> 00:56:21,039
saying you helped me that doing that our NFL players. Okay.

1162
00:56:21,159 --> 00:56:24,440
With Tom Brady's dual role as an owner and a broadcaster,

1163
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,280
one says it's just a conflict of interest. Even if

1164
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,679
Tom is being careful, the optics are not good and

1165
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:36,000
it could create an situation down the road. Tom's those

1166
00:56:36,039 --> 00:56:40,320
broadcast meetings. Tom's gonna do Chiefs games, Tom's gonna do

1167
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,199
Charger games. Now he's not gonna do Raider games, but

1168
00:56:42,199 --> 00:56:44,559
he's gonna do other teams, probably in the AFC West.

1169
00:56:45,119 --> 00:56:47,960
Eighty four percent are okay with it, six point six

1170
00:56:48,159 --> 00:56:51,440
I say no, and nine percent don't care. Next quote.

1171
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,480
If he's getting information and sharing all the raiders, so

1172
00:56:53,639 --> 00:56:58,679
what they sucked anyway doesn't seem to be helping much. Yep.

1173
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,719
One more quote. Teams just had to be mindful of

1174
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,639
what you tell him, just like with any broadcaster or reporter.

1175
00:57:06,079 --> 00:57:11,519
All right, next question, Uh, how do how do NFL

1176
00:57:11,559 --> 00:57:15,039
players feel about Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl halftime show.

1177
00:57:16,159 --> 00:57:18,199
One person says, I don't speak Spanish, so I'm not

1178
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:19,840
a big fan, but I do think it's cool to

1179
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,760
have him because America is based on diversity. America was

1180
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,960
built on immigration, so I feel like having him just

1181
00:57:25,039 --> 00:57:29,440
furthers the American dream. Another player says, I'd prefer anyone

1182
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,920
who's synonymous with football and football culture. I feel like

1183
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:33,960
there are tons of artists out there who are fans

1184
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,679
of the game. One of their quotes says, heck, yeah,

1185
00:57:36,719 --> 00:57:38,360
it's going to be a good time. The girls like

1186
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,559
Bad Bunny, so of course we're gonna like it. It's

1187
00:57:42,599 --> 00:57:44,960
been truthful this is a fun one set inn NFC

1188
00:57:45,199 --> 00:57:47,679
offensive player. I don't even know who bad Money is.

1189
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,199
I always think it should be an American. I think

1190
00:57:51,199 --> 00:57:56,159
they're trying too hard with this international stuff. Puerto Ricans

1191
00:57:56,159 --> 00:58:00,239
are American citizens. Just for those who aren't aware. Okay, uh,

1192
00:58:01,119 --> 00:58:03,960
should it be our fifty first date? I don't know,

1193
00:58:04,039 --> 00:58:09,920
I get, I don't know what's what's the benefit that's

1194
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:11,400
a good well. I mean, we're trying to buy green

1195
00:58:11,599 --> 00:58:13,320
of the vote. We're trying to we one was making

1196
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,880
Canada our fifty first day. I'm sorry, I'm the last

1197
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:19,800
person that I don't know either. I thought the whole

1198
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:21,760
Canada thing bring fifty first date was pretty full. I think,

1199
00:58:22,199 --> 00:58:25,800
I mean, apparently they're having infrastructure issues still from Hurricane

1200
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,960
Maria from years ago. If I can get some more time,

1201
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,880
I can get them help the people some help. Sure,

1202
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,679
let's make them the fifty fourth first date. If we

1203
00:58:31,719 --> 00:58:33,400
can get more. Tim Horton's here, I'm all for Canada

1204
00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:36,159
being our fifty first time. Okay, all right? One more?

1205
00:58:36,239 --> 00:58:39,000
Who would NFL players pick for the US Olympic Flag

1206
00:58:39,039 --> 00:58:44,119
football team? Responses fastest dude in the league turn him loose,

1207
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,199
especially in flag football you have to go with a

1208
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,239
dual threat. I hope he is the unanimous choice. He

1209
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,199
can catch, throw, run, jump, he can do it all.

1210
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,199
He should automatically do it. Who's it? I don't know.

1211
00:58:54,199 --> 00:59:00,360
I didn't say he Lamar Jackson. Uh oh yeah. I

1212
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,079
went to the poll. He got the most votes. If

1213
00:59:02,119 --> 00:59:04,159
you had one pick for the Olympic Flag football team,

1214
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:11,920
twelve of the respondents picked Lamar Jacks Jackson. He would

1215
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,960
never guess. Number two. Tyreek Hill was second with seven votes.

1216
00:59:17,599 --> 00:59:21,559
Then Justin Jefferson, that's a good pick. Pick. Yeah, it's

1217
00:59:21,559 --> 00:59:24,280
why I like Jamier Gibbs, Miles Garrett, Jamiir Gibson, and

1218
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,239
Pat Mahomes. But Lamar Jackson the runaway pick. Any c J.

1219
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,719
Stroud votes in that group, I did not see one,

1220
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,360
all right? Was Ay Flowers got to vote? Zay Flowers

1221
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,239
fumbles the ball too much? I guess Jon Robinson that's

1222
00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:38,239
a good one. Yeah, all right. So I just wanted

1223
00:59:38,239 --> 00:59:43,679
to pass along a few things on that. The thing

1224
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,960
I love the anonymous player polls. I'm with you. Oh,

1225
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,039
I just again, it's we're not in a heavy sports season,

1226
00:59:49,039 --> 00:59:50,519
so I just with me a little anedotal things to

1227
00:59:50,559 --> 00:59:52,079
bring out there to the audience a little bit. And

1228
00:59:52,559 --> 00:59:58,360
obviously the one thing that I think has infiltrated sports

1229
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,480
in the last ten years that I'm surpris it has

1230
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:04,440
not even done. More so is the gambling. Did you

1231
01:00:04,519 --> 01:00:08,000
watch again? I didn't watch any of the Super Bowl pregame, No,

1232
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,400
but I got it. I got it like before the

1233
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,800
anthems and then the game. I saw Green Day, but

1234
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:19,320
I was you had ads every five seconds. The amount

1235
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,599
of money of these prop what they call prop not

1236
01:00:22,719 --> 01:00:27,599
prop services, but prediction prediction prediction markets like Calshie, I

1237
01:00:27,679 --> 01:00:30,480
mean all of the place on that I've been dabbling,

1238
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,000
have you. It's legal here in Texas, so the other one.

1239
01:00:34,039 --> 01:00:37,239
But the juice is not good. Yeah, it's they juice

1240
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:41,280
both sides. So I would say long term, it's going

1241
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,920
to be difficult. Just strictly, I'm talking about sports betting.

1242
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,679
You can bet on anything. Who's going to be the

1243
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:48,760
Republican nominee in twenty twenty eight? Stock market going up

1244
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,320
or down? In the market, you can you can predict

1245
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,880
a bunch of crazy stuff. There's like weather forecast you

1246
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,159
can predict too. So but yeah, that's the amount of

1247
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:02,039
pressure that the athletes at least publicly are getting is

1248
01:01:03,079 --> 01:01:04,800
small ko I thought it would be. I think I'm

1249
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,679
surprised we don't have more now. We do have the

1250
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,719
Chauncey Billup situation and Damon Jones and all that stuff

1251
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,239
that was in NBA that hit, But those are happening

1252
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,159
once every handful of years. I'm get college kids that

1253
01:01:15,159 --> 01:01:17,000
are involved in that too, but those are with some

1254
01:01:17,159 --> 01:01:21,039
low end schools that yeah, nobody car games are being manipulated.

1255
01:01:21,239 --> 01:01:26,480
And I wonder, because I was naive, I thought I

1256
01:01:26,559 --> 01:01:30,000
thought it would be so obvious and easy for people

1257
01:01:30,039 --> 01:01:31,920
to get caught that that would be much of a deturn.

1258
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,719
But when you get money and you get desperate people

1259
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,719
in desperate yeah, anything can happen. But I think with

1260
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,800
the amount of people getting caught caught, is this going

1261
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,159
to get lessened and lessoned. I don't know. I would

1262
01:01:45,199 --> 01:01:48,280
say yeah, logically, I would say yes, but I've been surprised.

1263
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,320
I'll say this, I think we're due for another big scandal.

1264
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:53,840
I had to say a couple of months ago, but

1265
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,960
I mean, I think we're That was Jerry rose Eer

1266
01:01:56,159 --> 01:02:00,119
just got cleared. Yeah, Showy Tony was kind of it

1267
01:02:00,199 --> 01:02:03,159
was a different thing. Well, it's more of a story

1268
01:02:03,199 --> 01:02:04,960
for us to presume that he was get involved in game,

1269
01:02:05,079 --> 01:02:07,440
but he never really was, you know. I mean there

1270
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,719
are some people in sports radio that like to take

1271
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,960
stories and act and embellish them to help their own

1272
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,920
calls with a program like there's no real evidence that

1273
01:02:17,159 --> 01:02:19,159
you know who shot himself in the foot, but for

1274
01:02:19,239 --> 01:02:22,400
the second the show people love it, but a bunch

1275
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:27,039
of sensationalists. And I apologize for such of Jabronis for

1276
01:02:27,239 --> 01:02:30,039
being sensationalists because it does sound good and there's no

1277
01:02:30,119 --> 01:02:33,119
proof that tells me I'm wrong. Yeah, you can never

1278
01:02:33,199 --> 01:02:37,159
prove a negative proved to me that there are mutant

1279
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,880
teenage turtles in the sewer right now. M you can't,

1280
01:02:41,559 --> 01:02:44,519
I think they're there or UFOs. Yeah, you can't prove. Yeah,

1281
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,880
But we have to have logical thinking here and logically thinking.

1282
01:02:50,039 --> 01:02:52,719
My argument to my Joe Mixon shooting himself on the

1283
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,360
foot is when players are hurt for a long period

1284
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,239
of time, somebody eventually says something. This has been very

1285
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:01,840
very tight lip. I feel like if he got shot

1286
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,800
in the foot, he would have a gun to the hospital.

1287
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,800
And generally when somebody gets shot, aren't the police contact

1288
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,119
may maybe he was in a private hunter astantic. Okay,

1289
01:03:12,159 --> 01:03:14,599
so somebody helped me out with this. May perhaps somebody

1290
01:03:14,639 --> 01:03:16,800
in the police or a hospital or something. If somebody

1291
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,320
shows him the hospital and they got shot in the foot,

1292
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:22,639
isn't the police. Don't the police automatically get involved? You

1293
01:03:22,679 --> 01:03:27,039
would think so. So Thus the logically thinking result of

1294
01:03:27,119 --> 01:03:31,000
this is free coffee malpractice. And you're getting a coffee

1295
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,199
in a treat We already got your coffee. Oh you

1296
01:03:33,239 --> 01:03:37,199
want good coffee, I get it. That's fine, go ahead,

1297
01:03:39,039 --> 01:03:44,840
subpar mid it's fine. That'll se my line. It is

1298
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:46,599
a my Thomas show with Ross. You know what I

1299
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,880
ask you sometimes, Ross about things I don't get and

1300
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,159
I need you to help me with some things. Okay.

1301
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,159
We do a segment every Thursday in the show called

1302
01:03:54,159 --> 01:03:55,960
it I just don't get it. If there's something in

1303

our friends. It's time to stay.

1317
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:51,599
Speaker 11: I just don't get it, all right, what don't you get? Rossie?

1319
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,559
the confusion of your life. I can give you sage advice.

1320
01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:06,679
Jonathan will give you the younger person's thoughts and dreams

1321
01:05:06,719 --> 01:05:12,679
and aspirations of it. Okay, that's what you got this week?

1322
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 7: Me.

1323
01:05:13,159 --> 01:05:15,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going straight to me. I am going to you.

1324
01:05:16,599 --> 01:05:21,400
I guess I just need this explained because this keeps happening.

1325
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:27,639
And now recently an Alabama player was ruled ineligible. Is

1326
01:05:27,719 --> 01:05:32,559
to going to the courts. What is happening with these

1327
01:05:32,719 --> 01:05:36,000
players who have played in the G League as professionals. Yes,

1328
01:05:37,079 --> 01:05:40,199
and then they're going to be who want to play

1329
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,119
college basketball? Well, the Glabama kid got shot down. You're

1330
01:05:43,119 --> 01:05:45,519
not going anymore. But there apparently there are still others

1331
01:05:45,559 --> 01:05:47,119
who have played in the G League who are in

1332
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:54,199
college basketball and eligible and playing. I don't get it.

1333
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:55,840
I want to wrap my head around it. Because Darrel,

1334
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,480
I'm anti NCUBLEA. I know I want to go against

1335
01:05:59,519 --> 01:06:02,519
the NCUB in any way possible, but I can't wrap

1336
01:06:02,599 --> 01:06:07,320
my head around this one. I have not gotten into

1337
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,920
it at all. It's highly confusion to me because some

1338
01:06:10,039 --> 01:06:13,480
players have been given clear and some have not. I

1339
01:06:13,559 --> 01:06:16,239
don't get it. I would lean towards there's probably some

1340
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:20,719
good evidence to support each case. I just can't give

1341
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,719
it to you, so I'm I apologize to you for

1342
01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:28,119
not being given You don't get it either, Okay, Yeah,

1343
01:06:28,199 --> 01:06:32,280
that's it. So I just don't He's a you know what,

1344
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,559
he's the amateur athletics. It's clearing house leader for us. Yeah.

1345
01:06:35,679 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 6: To the point for insto double A for different sports.

1346
01:06:39,039 --> 01:06:42,000
You have to look at gymnastics. We have athletes that

1347
01:06:42,079 --> 01:06:44,199
compete in the Olympics and still come back to college,

1348
01:06:44,239 --> 01:06:47,440
which shouldn't even be at all. We have like metal

1349
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,039
winnings that are there. It's to the point, and basketball

1350
01:06:50,159 --> 01:06:53,679
is tricky because it gives such an advantage to the team,

1351
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,559
and they're complaining because they want to be kids, but

1352
01:06:56,679 --> 01:06:58,639
because of what inn double A is at right now,

1353
01:06:59,119 --> 01:07:01,679
you can't. There's no old guidelines and it's really you

1354
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,920
still ENTI a wild West. Yeah, and that's just the

1355
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,079
whole point of it, Like you have no guidelines, you

1356
01:07:06,199 --> 01:07:08,840
have no structure to where you can't say kids can

1357
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:11,960
leave college and then come back because they still have eligibility.

1358
01:07:12,079 --> 01:07:14,199
And that's why it's the problem with the JUCO athletes

1359
01:07:14,239 --> 01:07:16,400
saying that they need more years, but you already did

1360
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,719
college but doesn't count. It's too much great area to Yeah,

1361
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:20,320
do you think.

1362
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 2: JUCO should count? I'm kind of I don't understand. Yeah,

1363
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,559
I can't. I don't have a strong opinion on that,

1364
01:07:26,679 --> 01:07:28,480
which is bad in this business matter. I gotta have

1365
01:07:28,519 --> 01:07:32,159
a strong opinion and I have to yell it loud

1366
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,079
and act like I'm smarter than everyone. But I just don't.

1367
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,320
I kind of see both sides when it comes to this,

1368
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,440
should JUCO years count against your eligibility? My initial blush

1369
01:07:40,559 --> 01:07:43,239
reaction that is JUCO years should count. You're still going

1370
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,320
to as you're still developing. I mean, yeah, it's it's

1371
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:50,039
a year of development, so you gain any advantage, I

1372
01:07:50,079 --> 01:07:52,840
don't know. But also part of me wants to say, like,

1373
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,920
if you're in school and you're actual actively pursuing a degree,

1374
01:07:57,239 --> 01:07:59,880
not taking ballroom dancing like Matt Lioner, not not in

1375
01:08:00,039 --> 01:08:02,559
classes at all, that Carson back. If you're literally like

1376
01:08:02,639 --> 01:08:05,599
a PhD candidate, I technically go to the school, you

1377
01:08:05,639 --> 01:08:07,679
should be able to play for the schools athletic teams,

1378
01:08:07,719 --> 01:08:11,599
I guess. But then who's to decide what courses are

1379
01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:18,359
gonna right, like the general studies, getting your masters in

1380
01:08:18,399 --> 01:08:21,479
general studies at LSU, Like, for instance, you got kids

1381
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,680
bouncing around playing four schools in five years. There's no

1382
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,239
serious interest at all in getting a degree. You are

1383
01:08:28,279 --> 01:08:31,960
simply enrolling in a class to say that you're a student,

1384
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,039
You're not going to that class. You're gonna play your season,

1385
01:08:34,079 --> 01:08:35,760
then you're gonna leave and go somewhere else. Problem is,

1386
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:38,399
here's what I don't get you ready for this? How

1387
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,800
do those kids able to transfer all their credits that

1388
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,720
probably some of them don't. They don't get their credits

1389
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,840
yeah most of the time. So you're just spinning in

1390
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,399
your wheels, right, You're just going around and around and round.

1391
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,720
You're chasing the dream of the NBA or the NFL

1392
01:08:51,840 --> 01:09:00,920
or you're saving that nl cash. It's man, When when

1393
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,159
did our college athletic system become so convoluted in such

1394
01:09:04,199 --> 01:09:07,359
a hot mess? You know what it did? And I'm

1395
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:09,520
gonna blame the NCUBLEA on this. When they started taking

1396
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,399
the Megan Megan Megan Megan million dollar deals. When you

1397
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,119
when you brag about your billion dollar contract with CBS

1398
01:09:15,199 --> 01:09:18,560
for a march madness, everybody says like, I want that

1399
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,319
part of my piece myself. If it ain't for me,

1400
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:23,119
you ain't get any of it, So give it to me.

1401
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,840
And then instead of having regulation in some sort of

1402
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:33,640
normalcy to this business, it is just nuts. It's it's wild.

1403
01:09:34,399 --> 01:09:36,359
I wonder, I mean, it feels like it's changed even

1404
01:09:36,399 --> 01:09:38,119
from like a year ago to two years, to go

1405
01:09:38,239 --> 01:09:40,319
to three years ago. Where's it gonna go in five years?

1406
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,640
Schools were not able to directly pay twenty million dollars.

1407
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,359
How they can directly do it? How many active law

1408
01:09:46,399 --> 01:09:49,279
I wonder how many lawsuits the NCAA is actively in.

1409
01:09:52,199 --> 01:09:56,880
These lawyers keep taking els too. They gotta change law firms. Yeah,

1410
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:58,720
you can't go to keep going a Dowey cheatment. How

1411
01:09:59,319 --> 01:10:01,800
every single time I'm out a lot of billable hours

1412
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:03,680
for the n C double A. All right, so if

1413
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:05,479
you got something in nine fiar you just don't get

1414
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,159
They're i'd be sports related seven one three two one

1415
01:10:08,239 --> 01:10:11,039
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two

1416
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,439
five seven ninety I just asked Ai, not everything that

1417
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,039
I'll I'll be wrong, Oh would you say? And I

1418
01:10:17,159 --> 01:10:19,159
just asked Google? How many lawsuits is the NC double

1419
01:10:19,199 --> 01:10:21,760
A on? It says at least fifty five active lawsuits

1420
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:24,960
without legibility cases. Who's the law firm on that? Whoo?

1421
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,000
And can I buy? Are they publicly traded? Can I

1422
01:10:30,039 --> 01:10:36,920
buy their stock? You cannot, They're they're privately owned. Okay, Jonathan.

1423
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:38,439
In your life, I know you've been busy the last

1424
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,159
couple weeks, and in life you don't get uh.

1425
01:10:40,279 --> 01:10:43,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, are you guys familiar with the fusion of innovation theory?

1426
01:10:44,399 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 2: The fusion of innovation?

1427
01:10:46,119 --> 01:10:48,079
Speaker 6: So basically it's the theory that goes back to the

1428
01:10:48,159 --> 01:10:51,119
seventies of media theory about how people adapt to different

1429
01:10:51,159 --> 01:10:53,119
cultures and different media outlets, or just.

1430
01:10:53,199 --> 01:10:56,399
Speaker 2: In diffusion of innovations, diffusion of innovation rating on it

1431
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,239
right now, go ahead, So it's for the audience left

1432
01:10:59,279 --> 01:10:59,560
to right.

1433
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:03,079
Speaker 6: It's of being the both ends being at the smaller

1434
01:11:03,159 --> 01:11:08,119
percentages goes from left the right, innovators, early adapters, early majority,

1435
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:13,199
late majority, and at the end laggards. So talking about media,

1436
01:11:13,279 --> 01:11:15,640
and I challenged Matt to this as well, I don't

1437
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,520
understand is when you go and talk about the All

1438
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:24,960
Star and how they're marketing two different audiences. When you

1439
01:11:25,119 --> 01:11:27,199
speak about it, you're speaking out of European as a

1440
01:11:27,279 --> 01:11:29,880
laggard because you don't like what's happening. You don't like change,

1441
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,319
the same way as it went with paying the athletes.

1442
01:11:33,359 --> 01:11:35,359
You didn't like it until everybody was like, oh no,

1443
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,439
this is better, until there was proof. There's people like

1444
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:40,960
that in general as a population that are always going

1445
01:11:41,039 --> 01:11:44,000
to sit back on these innovations. What I don't understand

1446
01:11:44,039 --> 01:11:46,520
is when you're saying, like Kia is no point because

1447
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,640
I'm the person that's gonna buy Kia, Well you have

1448
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:52,319
to think about it in the media's perspective. The older

1449
01:11:52,319 --> 01:11:54,239
people are going to be more loyal and more conservative

1450
01:11:54,279 --> 01:11:57,760
to their Chevrolet. They're forward their key, you know, whatever

1451
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,640
they have. But what they're going to keep doing is

1452
01:12:01,039 --> 01:12:03,760
target the innovators, earlier adapters, which are going to be

1453
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,840
the younger audiences and the younger demographic because they need

1454
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,680
to boil that brain into their head. And so what

1455
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:13,920
happens is you have people that don't like it. That's okay,

1456
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,439
that's a completely different scenario. But saying is it's not smart.

1457
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,359
Same thing with the Super Bowl and saying, okay, that's

1458
01:12:20,399 --> 01:12:23,840
not smart as bad production. But we found out it

1459
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,800
has the biggest streaming numbers of the whole team. And

1460
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,920
you said, oh, because there's more streaming. Yeah, But I'm

1461
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:32,720
saying in general, when it comes down to it, you

1462
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,960
have to think about back in your day, what did

1463
01:12:35,079 --> 01:12:37,439
Nike do to the early invarious They put it on

1464
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,840
Michael Jordan that's never been heard of. There was probably

1465
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:42,159
a lot of people like, oh, this is not fair,

1466
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,600
this and this and this. It blew them up, and

1467
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,479
it blew up Nike as a whole into the whole category.

1468
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,600
It took people, Oh, I like these sneakers, I don't

1469
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:51,880
really like it. And so now it's main street pop

1470
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:56,479
culture Nike and Jordan's shoot. So I challenge you when

1471
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,439
you're saying and I don't understand is when you're like,

1472
01:13:00,279 --> 01:13:03,319
doesn't make sense, it's not smart. That's a different thing

1473
01:13:03,359 --> 01:13:05,159
than you saying you don't like it because it's a

1474
01:13:05,319 --> 01:13:07,640
change for you. And I don't understand because you're not

1475
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,079
the only person that does this, because Ross on the

1476
01:13:10,119 --> 01:13:12,920
other side saying, well, don't watch it then, But you

1477
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,479
guys have to understand these people don't want to be

1478
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,600
stuck like the MLB that can't bring in the younger

1479
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,880
audience because they're not doing anything like Ross always speaking automate, automated, automate,

1480
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:24,439
make it better for the game. And this is the

1481
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:26,760
things I don't understand why people just kind of put

1482
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:29,840
negative opinions on it instead of saying I just don't

1483
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:31,479
like it and saying it's bad for the business.

1484
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,199
Speaker 2: Does that make sense or like they're trying to get

1485
01:13:34,279 --> 01:13:36,520
the younger audience is what you're saying, and they're trying

1486
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:36,840
to get them.

1487
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 6: And to the point with the influencers, that's the whole

1488
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,079
point you have to get. It's got to start somewhere.

1489
01:13:41,079 --> 01:13:42,680
The innovators are going to pick up no matter what.

1490
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:44,880
And this is the point of the theory. The laggers

1491
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:46,760
are always going to stay behind until it's proven.

1492
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 5: Right.

1493
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 2: You gave me a lot there, let me get a

1494
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:58,039
break in and go to it. Because you mixed a

1495
01:13:58,079 --> 01:14:00,279
lot of different categories in one. But I I think

1496
01:14:00,319 --> 01:14:02,119
I can. I can kind of all wrap it up

1497
01:14:02,159 --> 01:14:05,079
and give you one generic answer. I think I can,

1498
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,319
and we'll do that we come back. So again, what Jonathan,

1499
01:14:09,319 --> 01:14:11,800
I think you're trying to say is that there is

1500
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,680
a certain segment of the population that says I don't

1501
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,399
like something, they should get rid of it, as compared

1502
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,399
to just saying I don't like something.

1503
01:14:19,319 --> 01:14:21,159
Speaker 6: And you do it.

1504
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 2: I guess also, I guess it's the statement about Kia

1505
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,439
should be catering to me rather than the young audience

1506
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,600
who doesn't have disposal income. I didn't say cater I

1507
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,840
said they should not try to forget about us, because

1508
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:36,279
we're the ones right now that are more apt to

1509
01:14:36,359 --> 01:14:38,600
buy their product than twenty two. I think it's an

1510
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:40,520
interesting point what John to bring it up about, because

1511
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,439
you know people our age, Matt, it's more Kia is like,

1512
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,239
you know, the poor person car or the cheap car

1513
01:14:46,359 --> 01:14:48,680
or whatever, and maybe they are I own a Kia,

1514
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,159
they get cheap. Yeah. Now, well it used to be

1515
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,520
I'm saying the stigma, yes, yes, yes, and so trying

1516
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,760
to the old one. I'm not saying that's the way

1517
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:58,520
it is. I'm saying, that's that's what the old thing.

1518
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:00,560
If you talked to you from ten years ago, twenty

1519
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,000
years ago, I was like, oh you got a Kia,

1520
01:15:02,119 --> 01:15:04,000
Like are you okay? Can you eat?

1521
01:15:04,359 --> 01:15:04,399
Speaker 9: No?

1522
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,159
Speaker 2: The key keys are a lot nicer now. They are

1523
01:15:08,279 --> 01:15:11,920
trying to infuse that with with a younger audience and

1524
01:15:12,199 --> 01:15:14,119
and okay, So I will try to address what he says,

1525
01:15:14,159 --> 01:15:16,079
because I think there's some there is some value in

1526
01:15:16,119 --> 01:15:18,760
what you were talking about. Eleven forty five on Sports

1527
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,479
Talk seven eighty five seven, Christian Walker spoke today and

1528
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,359
asked for the spring training and at twelve twenty will

1529
01:15:23,359 --> 01:15:26,760
play that for you? He said, I'll just want to

1530
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,319
play eighty games. And DHB saw him, and maybe I'll

1531
01:15:29,359 --> 01:15:31,000
play some first base? Is that what he said? You'll

1532
01:15:31,039 --> 01:15:33,800
find out in one half hour from now. You know

1533
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:35,840
what I'm sad about. We haven't played the Olympic theme

1534
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,960
at any point. We have merely beginning many Olympic updates.

1535
01:15:39,039 --> 01:15:43,680
But yeah, thought Canada's beating Checchia for for nothing. Well,

1536
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:45,680
we have the news at their period, You're right, Oh no,

1537
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,880
oh yeah, you end up playing the news at noon theme.

1538
01:15:48,399 --> 01:15:50,640
The Olympic theme is that's top ten?

1539
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 10: Right?

1540
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,960
Speaker 2: Did we draft that in our in our top themes?

1541
01:15:53,159 --> 01:15:55,199
I should have I went with Wimbledon, sending up my

1542
01:15:55,199 --> 01:15:59,319
ask rightface at Wimbledon was yeah, terrible price. You didn't

1543
01:15:59,319 --> 01:16:02,800
go with the rolling arrows, the French open. Oh God?

1544
01:16:03,319 --> 01:16:05,439
All right, So Jonathan, I'm going to try to take

1545
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,560
all your thoughts and try to wrap them up into

1546
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:11,479
one tight topic. Here. I'll help you finance it. Okay.

1547
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: Uh.

1548
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:19,239
Speaker 2: I am in a business in my industry, like most

1549
01:16:19,239 --> 01:16:23,600
people that listen, that have to adapt to change. So

1550
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,920
I am not adverse to adapting to change. This is

1551
01:16:27,039 --> 01:16:31,399
just me myself and I okay. I was for the

1552
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,600
longest time dead set against athlete payments because I thought

1553
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:38,159
it would be a hot mess of an industry. And

1554
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,319
I've always loved the belief that getting a full four

1555
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,800
year ride with tuition and books and food and all

1556
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:45,800
the good stuff that came with being just a scholarship

1557
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,479
athlete was going to be worth it, because it still

1558
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:48,960
has a tremendous value too, especially if you go to

1559
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,199
an outstate school. But I've seen now in the change

1560
01:16:52,239 --> 01:16:54,239
of the last twenty to twenty five years, the amount

1561
01:16:54,239 --> 01:16:56,600
of money that is going in to the NCAA coffers

1562
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,359
and these conference of coffers, and there should have been,

1563
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:03,199
and there was, and there now is distribution to the athletes,

1564
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:05,960
and I'm happy about that. I still believe to this

1565
01:17:06,079 --> 01:17:09,520
day there is too much renegade, too much craziness, no

1566
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:14,680
self policing, and it's continuing to spiral out of control.

1567
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,960
I don't have an answer for it, but that's just

1568
01:17:18,039 --> 01:17:21,800
how I see it. But I'm adapting to it. I've

1569
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:26,560
adapted to rule changes in sports. I've adapted to abs,

1570
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:31,399
I've adapted to designated hitter in all baseball, adapted to

1571
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:34,000
the Astrosmerica. I mean, if you don't adapt, if you

1572
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,920
don't adapt in our industry about how we do our shows,

1573
01:17:38,359 --> 01:17:44,960
you're mad the outside looking in. What I find, how

1574
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,000
do I want to say this? What I find to

1575
01:17:47,119 --> 01:17:52,039
be disappointing is is that we have taken groups of

1576
01:17:52,199 --> 01:17:57,159
people and said, well, we're not going to like one

1577
01:17:57,199 --> 01:17:59,159
group of people can't like everything, so we're just going

1578
01:17:59,199 --> 01:18:01,720
to take a small group and make sure they're satisfied.

1579
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:04,359
And I use as the NBA game as an example.

1580
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:10,880
The NBA All Star Game was university loved thirty years ago,

1581
01:18:11,279 --> 01:18:14,800
forty years ago, maybe even twenty years ago. It has

1582
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:19,920
been worked over and done and over again, and they

1583
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:21,880
keep trying to find new ways to reinvent the wheel.

1584
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:24,560
And instead of just going to the athletes and saying, hey,

1585
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:27,359
play harder and let's have a competitive game, it's like,

1586
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:29,720
you know, let's just do it and just make sure

1587
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,279
the twenty one year old kids can enjoy it and

1588
01:18:32,319 --> 01:18:34,399
get think of their video clips on there. I don't

1589
01:18:34,399 --> 01:18:36,760
think that's good business. So I'm not trying to narrow

1590
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:40,399
it down just to basketball. So while I have accepted

1591
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:43,000
changes in sports, I do not accept the way the

1592
01:18:43,119 --> 01:18:46,159
NBA is handling its All Star Game. Because I love

1593
01:18:46,239 --> 01:18:48,520
the All Star Game as an adult and as a child,

1594
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,680
and I want to continue and enjoy the All Star Game.

1595
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,239
I don't enjoy the All Star Game anymore. I don't

1596
01:18:53,319 --> 01:18:56,880
enjoy I enjoy the Pro Football All Star Game, the

1597
01:18:57,039 --> 01:19:00,239
Pro Bowl. They've tried to change that. It hasn't worked out.

1598
01:19:01,239 --> 01:19:03,399
So while I can adapt to some things, there are

1599
01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:05,159
some things that I don't adapt to. And what I

1600
01:19:05,199 --> 01:19:10,199
don't adapt to is seeing this ridiculous exhibition that shows

1601
01:19:10,239 --> 01:19:12,319
the greatest ATHLETs of the world playing the best sport

1602
01:19:12,359 --> 01:19:15,000
that I love and watch. Treat it like it's a

1603
01:19:15,279 --> 01:19:17,800
pickup basketball game in your backyard, and I don't like it,

1604
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,039
and so I'm not going to adapt to that. I'm

1605
01:19:20,079 --> 01:19:22,359
not going to change that and say, well, if the

1606
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,720
twenty three year olds like it, that's more. That's that's

1607
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,319
the most important thing as I'm a consumer of sports.

1608
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:30,279
Speaker 6: Well, so I guess the question I'm asking you the

1609
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:35,159
NBA with the Americans versus international, no problem with that.

1610
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,279
So that's what I'm I guess I'm trying to hone

1611
01:19:38,359 --> 01:19:41,279
into as well for you to answer is like, that's

1612
01:19:41,399 --> 01:19:43,359
their way of doing it. And like you said, and

1613
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,439
you're very permanent, and what Katie was talking about, they

1614
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,199
had to make these players care, and I get and

1615
01:19:49,399 --> 01:19:51,560
right now in the NBA as a whole, it's just

1616
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:55,319
the Americans getting all the scrutiny when these international people

1617
01:19:55,319 --> 01:19:57,640
aren't doing anything. And that thing is why Wimby is

1618
01:19:57,680 --> 01:19:59,520
making that change, Like, Okay, I'm going to do it

1619
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:01,359
real hard. I'm gonna start this new flow of things.

1620
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,920
And like you said earlier, and I'm not this isn't

1621
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:07,199
a castrits or anything like that, but it's like you said,

1622
01:20:07,199 --> 01:20:09,119
earlier it could be the best also game and like

1623
01:20:09,159 --> 01:20:12,239
they actually changed it around. And I guess what I'm

1624
01:20:12,279 --> 01:20:16,039
trying to say is like we have to as you know,

1625
01:20:16,159 --> 01:20:17,560
being I mean, like you said, you've come through so

1626
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:22,439
many of these changes that when these changes do happen,

1627
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,079
like these influencers and stuff like that, it's not because

1628
01:20:25,199 --> 01:20:27,560
they're going to forget about It's not a negative. It's

1629
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,479
because they trust their base is gonna stay. Yeah, they're

1630
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,920
gonna have some criticism, and everybody, there's no business that's

1631
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:38,159
for your criticism, but you have to the bas is there.

1632
01:20:38,359 --> 01:20:40,000
They're trusting that the base is gonna stay there. We're

1633
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:41,880
going to fix this for you guys, but we also

1634
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,399
have to grow and get these younger kids in there.

1635
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,840
That's why I brought MLB as an example. MLB doesn't

1636
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:50,760
do that, and that's why they're stuck doing this and

1637
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:52,960
still doing these budget cabs and having to do this

1638
01:20:53,079 --> 01:20:56,399
and going on these like getting out and not doing anything.

1639
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:58,840
And that's what I guess the example I was making

1640
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,159
because at first I thought from you was, oh, I

1641
01:21:01,199 --> 01:21:03,239
hate it, I'm gonna I don't want to do anymore.

1642
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:06,119
Is it's horrible? There any idea is bad, but you know,

1643
01:21:06,199 --> 01:21:08,119
speaking right now, what you're saying, it makes a lot

1644
01:21:08,159 --> 01:21:08,600
more sense.

1645
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 2: All All I want, all I want the MBGA to

1646
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,960
do is to try and to give us something that

1647
01:21:14,279 --> 01:21:15,960
they gave thirty to four years ago on and I

1648
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:17,960
don't know if it's possible. So my philosophy is, if

1649
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,920
it's not possible and these guys don't want to do

1650
01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:24,680
it because they're risking injury, then scrap it. Yeah. I

1651
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,159
think math perspective is that he's coming up as seeing

1652
01:21:27,239 --> 01:21:31,399
something that was great and competitive and fun and got

1653
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,279
a lot of eyeballs. It's in decline, there's no there's

1654
01:21:34,359 --> 01:21:36,560
no denying the NDBA All Star Game from what it

1655
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:38,560
once was is in decline, and the root of that

1656
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:42,239
is the lack of competitiveness. So the NBA is trying

1657
01:21:42,279 --> 01:21:44,239
to innovate. They are trying to do something they have.

1658
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:48,119
They came up with the the this team staff versus

1659
01:21:48,199 --> 01:21:50,520
Team Lebron where you do a draft, and then they

1660
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,760
did the Chuck and Kenny thing, and now they're doing

1661
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:54,800
the USA versus the World. So they are trying to

1662
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,399
do something. But is it trying to resuscitate something that

1663
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,279
is already dead or is it making an innovation and

1664
01:22:01,359 --> 01:22:03,560
trying to usher in a new generation. I mean, that's

1665
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,079
I guess that's that's where we are. I feel like

1666
01:22:06,159 --> 01:22:11,600
in this discussion, I'm willing to contemplate something that should

1667
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:12,920
be dead. I should say, like the last year you

1668
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,720
said about the Team Kenny team that that didn't impact

1669
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:17,640
the HUT. I totally forgot that even happened until I

1670
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:18,920
just looked it up. I mean, it was a cool

1671
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,520
way to draw up the players one year ago, and

1672
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:25,720
I forgot. Yeah, by USA versus the world. I have

1673
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,560
some intrigue if I remember to watch it. You said

1674
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:31,479
it's on Sunday. Yeah, okay, Okay. Now you're gonna be

1675
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:32,960
in Florida, So the question is gonna be do you

1676
01:22:33,039 --> 01:22:35,159
want to have anything to do? I was gonna say,

1677
01:22:35,199 --> 01:22:36,880
and be in the hotel. You could probably watch it. Yeah,

1678
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:45,840
I'm watching it at Rachel's Steakhouse. Duh, soup, salad, steak, yes, ass.

1679
01:22:46,039 --> 01:22:49,279
I mean it's really good, not bad. So I've heard

1680
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,560
what's our new expense reporting system? By the way, Well,

1681
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,479
I'm going to have with our budget. Our market manager

1682
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:58,479
is going to be his his's going to help me

1683
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,920
with that. Okay, you may want to put that on

1684
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:03,920
a scard, but it's tight. It's it's really tight. Just

1685
01:23:04,039 --> 01:23:09,800
like the telling it. Rachel's should ask what Rachel you

1686
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:14,119
can contata about one second to figure it out. It's

1687
01:23:14,159 --> 01:23:17,039
a Brian McTaggert's favorite place I've heard. So all I'm

1688
01:23:17,079 --> 01:23:20,359
going to tell you is, Jonathan, is that I am

1689
01:23:21,039 --> 01:23:25,039
because I'm in a industry that requires change. And if

1690
01:23:25,079 --> 01:23:27,880
you are, if you are doing sports radio today like

1691
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,640
you did it thirty years ago, you're out of the business.

1692
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,760
They're trying to resuscitateate d it.

1693
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:35,119
Speaker 5: R No.

1694
01:23:35,239 --> 01:23:39,600
Speaker 2: I don't think it's not resitated. I think it's shift

1695
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,680
the focus. Don't keep trying to invent new, crazy ass

1696
01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:46,239
ways to play a game that was really good when

1697
01:23:46,359 --> 01:23:49,359
people gave a damn. I like USA versus the World,

1698
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,119
and you have these athletes now who train three hundred

1699
01:23:53,119 --> 01:23:55,560
and sixty five days a year and this game is

1700
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,239
an exhibition a world and throws the ball at half

1701
01:23:58,319 --> 01:24:00,600
court off the backboard for god to don't that's not

1702
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:01,840
going to do any different good.

1703
01:24:02,039 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 6: And then actually at that point, Matt and Russ, I

1704
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,199
would agree with you. After this year, if it doesn't happen, then.

1705
01:24:06,319 --> 01:24:08,119
Speaker 2: I don't want anybody turning any I don't want any

1706
01:24:08,119 --> 01:24:10,319
grade two ankle sprains or I have to make grade

1707
01:24:10,319 --> 01:24:13,079
three ankle sprains. If Kevin Durwan is out there now there,

1708
01:24:13,399 --> 01:24:15,600
and he's running up and down the floor, and you're

1709
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:18,000
trying to change to get chased down blocks and he

1710
01:24:18,159 --> 01:24:20,399
flies and then runs his knee into the stanchion, I

1711
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,720
don't want to see that. I don't. Yeah, and you're saying, well, Matt,

1712
01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:25,600
there are there is there a hypocrisy in what you're

1713
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:29,279
saying a little bit. But I've been and look, I'm

1714
01:24:29,319 --> 01:24:32,680
not anti I'm anti WBC. I'm anti All Star Game

1715
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,119
in general because to the initial point of I don't

1716
01:24:35,119 --> 01:24:37,399
want my guys getting hurt. But as I said, if

1717
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,600
you're going to do it, then at least show up.

1718
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,600
The WBC is competitive. Those guys are out there trying.

1719
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,239
They are very competitive. I don't the timing of it

1720
01:24:47,359 --> 01:24:49,279
really hurts, because I think it's more about the body

1721
01:24:49,359 --> 01:24:51,800
in March, competing when you should be getting gearing yourself

1722
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,079
for the start of the season. Let can't be that

1723
01:24:54,159 --> 01:24:56,520
much more rigorous than how many All Star Game injuries

1724
01:24:56,680 --> 01:25:00,359
were there back between nineteen and baseball I'm talking aboutasketball

1725
01:25:00,399 --> 01:25:04,520
between eighty and ninety five. Did did a young David

1726
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,640
Robinson get hurt in an All Star Game? Known did

1727
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:08,640
Michael Jordan get But you're also in the pay you're

1728
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:10,880
I mean, I don't know how many major injuries there

1729
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:12,560
have been in All Star Games. It's probably a very

1730
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:14,560
short list. We could probably try to look it up.

1731
01:25:15,239 --> 01:25:17,079
Oh yeah. It's also just a different era as well,

1732
01:25:17,119 --> 01:25:19,720
because the pace of the game in the NBA game

1733
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:23,720
and you know, uh, it's it's different than the nineteen

1734
01:25:24,079 --> 01:25:26,479
nineties where every team was running down the shot clock

1735
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:29,319
and the games were ending eighty six to eighty. I

1736
01:25:29,359 --> 01:25:32,359
don't want to see. Don't I love today's NBA when

1737
01:25:32,399 --> 01:25:33,840
it comes down, I don't want to see eighty six

1738
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:38,319
eighty four under any circumstance the Rockets, unfortunately ROSSI gave

1739
01:25:38,359 --> 01:25:41,199
it away. They gave it away. Now we'll have that

1740
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,119
plus coming up in about twenty minutes. Christian Walker speaks

1741
01:25:44,159 --> 01:25:46,960
for the first time at Astro Spring Training twelve to

1742
01:25:47,039 --> 01:25:50,760
one on Sports Talk seven ninety is The Mat Thomas

1743
01:25:50,880 --> 01:26:00,199
Show with Ross. After falling behind by as much it's

1744
01:26:00,279 --> 01:26:03,520
fifteen points in this contest, they win it tonight one

1745
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:08,439
to five one and split the four game series against

1746
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:12,039
a team that they might see come playoff time. You

1747
01:26:12,119 --> 01:26:13,840
never know. They're gonna probably be the Tennessee in the

1748
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:16,319
Western Conference, the Clippers. They beat in the Rockets last night.

1749
01:26:17,319 --> 01:26:19,000
This is our number three of the Matt Thomas Show

1750
01:26:19,039 --> 01:26:22,520
with Ross. We've got the All Star break coming up?

1751
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:24,319
How do we spend the All Star break? Get to

1752
01:26:24,359 --> 01:26:26,640
watch the daughter play little olleyball this weekend up in Dallas.

1753
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:28,399
I'll be with there tomorrow. We'll hang out with you

1754
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:30,760
for four hours. You know you're walking to come if

1755
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,479
you want, but I'm good. I figured super busy. And

1756
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:35,680
then you now will meet each other in West Palm

1757
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,279
Beach from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Flying from Dallas to

1758
01:26:38,319 --> 01:26:41,800
West Palms A okay, flying a legit airline going there,

1759
01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:44,880
and then flying from Fort Autodale to Charlotte on a

1760
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:48,920
non legit airline. It's gotta be legit enough. If you're

1761
01:26:49,119 --> 01:26:53,159
getting on the plane, you would hope you'll be five

1762
01:26:53,399 --> 01:26:55,680
I hope, So get out of here. Fancy, Matt, I

1763
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:57,800
mean I do have a lifestyle. Look, I gotta be honest.

1764
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,119
These airfares are ridiculous. All about the budget I used

1765
01:27:01,119 --> 01:27:03,399
to be like, I'm never getting on spirit again. I'm never.

1766
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,479
Now I'm like, eh, maybe I will once I look

1767
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,560
at the I can talk a big game till I

1768
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,680
check those airfares. By the way, you're flying Dark Breast.

1769
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,279
The people that are complaining about Dark Breast new boarding

1770
01:27:16,359 --> 01:27:21,680
procedures is ample. Why isn't it just like a regular airline? Now, Well,

1771
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:23,640
but you have a lot of people that didn't, that

1772
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,920
had like nice perks with the airline. Oh okay, that

1773
01:27:27,039 --> 01:27:32,800
are being treated like cavalry. Uh yeah, And so the

1774
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:35,119
for you tab is all over it. So okay, I

1775
01:27:35,199 --> 01:27:37,039
want to get yours, and you get travel horn and

1776
01:27:37,079 --> 01:27:40,199

1777
01:27:40,359 --> 01:27:44,640

1778
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,880
there's a girl on the photo, Hey, how does this

1779
01:27:47,039 --> 01:27:49,039

1780
01:27:49,119 --> 01:27:51,199
is groc take that red dress off of her. Oh

1781
01:27:51,319 --> 01:27:55,159

1782
01:27:55,279 --> 01:27:58,680

1805
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:29,920

01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:39,520

1809
01:29:42,239 --> 01:29:44,600
Why is it called Milan? And they're in Courtina and

1810
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,800
it's two hundred and fifty miles away. Every time you

1814
01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,000
Frozen over rocks, you know it. Actually, you know what

1815
01:29:59,039 --> 01:30:02,279
I discovered move the wave in my later years. Sugar

1816
01:30:03,279 --> 01:30:06,399
half rocks, half frozen. Oh, really, give it a shot.

1817
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:07,119
Speaker 11: I got one.

1818
01:30:07,159 --> 01:30:10,199
Speaker 2: I just don't get really quick beer in the margarita

1819
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:13,159
beer ritas. Yeah. As for alcoholics, okay, I just want

1820
01:30:13,199 --> 01:30:14,800
to make it. I mean, I don't mean to call

1821
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:17,159
you people out who are drinking those like you know,

1822
01:30:17,199 --> 01:30:20,680
it'd be great with this super high fructose corn syrup

1823
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:24,520
infused margarita drink with tequila. How about if I put

1824
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:28,520
a beer in here? Oh and let me get a floater. Yeah,

1825
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:30,640
I mean it's fine if that's how you want to

1826
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:32,960
get down, that's cool. I'm not judging I'm just saying

1827
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,760
it's just an alcoholic move. I just feel like a

1828
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:39,119
lot of alcohol and one beverage. Yeah. You can't nurse that,

1829
01:30:39,239 --> 01:30:41,319
by the way, can't you. It's just it's just gladnous.

1830
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:43,640
All right? To the update. Please again, I don't mean

1831
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:45,359
that in negative. I guess it sounds more negative than

1832
01:30:45,359 --> 01:30:46,880
I mean it to be. I mean, I've had some

1833
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,640
beat ritas in my day. I'm not judging. Sometimes you

1834
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:51,239
had a stressful day at work and you need to

1835
01:30:51,239 --> 01:30:53,920
have a liquid lunch, all right. Anyways, Yes, Matt, let's

1836
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:57,760
get to the metal count on. Norway still dominating seven

1837
01:30:58,079 --> 01:31:01,399
gold medals, but Italy has cal lined up the rankings.

1838
01:31:02,039 --> 01:31:04,880
They now have six gold medals and they lead the

1839
01:31:05,039 --> 01:31:10,920
overall medal count at fifteen. United States in third with

1840
01:31:11,119 --> 01:31:15,920
thirteen overall medals, four gold, six silver, three bronze. We

1841
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:20,439
gotta get those medals up, Maddie, because we're trailing Norway,

1842
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:24,119
which has a population of like six million people. What's

1843
01:31:24,159 --> 01:31:26,319
the population in Italy. I'm gonna guess it's around fifty

1844
01:31:26,359 --> 01:31:32,720
million or something. Let's see fifty nine million people in Italy,

1845
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,880
says the Google machine. So United States currently third in

1846
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:41,640
the overall medal count trailing Italy and Norway. Also in

1847
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:45,520
Olympic Action mat interrupted go ahead. Yeah, absolutely. We got

1848
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:48,399
a marriage proposal yesterday and then two days before we

1849
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:50,720
got a guy spilling his heart out because he wound

1850
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:52,560
up cheating with another girl.

1851
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:53,119
Speaker 5: I like that.

1852
01:31:53,239 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 2: He wanted to get out with he'd get back with her.

1853
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,560
So he apologized on worldwide television and she's like, shut

1854
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:00,560
your ball mass up, don't bring this. Not gonna work.

1855
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:03,600
It didn't work. He said he was committing social suicide

1856
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:07,560
whatever that means. And he's accurate. I guess. He is like,

1857
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,439
I'm coming with you hat in hand, baby, I'm sorry.

1858
01:32:11,319 --> 01:32:14,520
And also he was I think he said, babe, where

1859
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:16,399
was he from? He was from from? I don't know.

1860
01:32:17,399 --> 01:32:19,800
I honestly I told job was giving him fifteen minutes.

1861
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:23,680
That's all I've given it. Oh, don't hate me. You

1862
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:28,279
also have us in the curling women's preliminaries Sweden depeting

1863
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:33,880
Japan eight to four. As there's a lot of curling

1864
01:32:34,039 --> 01:32:38,079
going on, and in the cross country screen skiing met

1865
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:41,159
some dude named Carlson from Sweden one and some other

1866
01:32:41,199 --> 01:32:45,279
guy named Anderson from Sweden got second. Okay, I figure

1867
01:32:45,319 --> 01:32:47,760
you wanted more Olympic updates. Okay, fine, yeah, you can

1868
01:32:48,119 --> 01:32:51,159
go back to sports. Oh you want to do other sports? Yeah? Sure,

1869
01:32:51,159 --> 01:32:55,479
why not? Rockets got their ass swamped. Okay, they it

1870
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:57,640
felt like me they got They were up fifteen and

1871
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:01,439
they turned the ball over twenty one times. Kevin Durant

1872
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:04,079
turned the ball over eight times. I mean, we love you,

1873
01:33:04,159 --> 01:33:06,920
Kevin Durant. You're one of the greatest basketball players of

1874
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:10,880
all time, second greatest shooter of all time. But hold

1875
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:15,359
onto the basketball. Stop turning the ball over, please. Eight

1876
01:33:16,239 --> 01:33:19,720
turnovers for the Houston Rockets, twenty three points off of

1877
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:25,159

1878
01:33:25,359 --> 01:33:27,960
two in the game matt on fast break points and

1879
01:33:28,039 --> 01:33:33,359
you lost by three. Also, Emydoka under fire on social media.

1880
01:33:33,399 --> 01:33:36,000
Stop me if you've heard that before. But I'm gonna

two point zero seconds left, Rockets needing a three with

1886
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:52,479

1888
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:59,199

believe I've been looking. I cannot find anybody that didn't.

1890
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:03,479
Nobody after the game asked the question why that was

1891
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:07,920
the case. Yeah, except Rocket Twitter, Rockets Twitter. They want answers,

1892

01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:50,319
why am I gonna watch lamb Man? Now? I'm just

1943
01:36:50,399 --> 01:36:54,960
curious what you just said. If Ali Larder gets nude

1944
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:58,000
in land Man, you will watch? No, you're a liar,

1945
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:00,239
I'm a watch it.

1946
01:37:00,319 --> 01:37:00,479
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1947
01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:02,159
Speaker 2: My wife's already two seasons in. You didn't bring it

1948
01:37:02,199 --> 01:37:04,720
up two seasons in. Why would she bring that up

1949
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:09,319
to you? So we can have great television viewing habits together.

1950
01:37:10,359 --> 01:37:14,680
Oh think okay, you use that cast button. It's funny.

1951
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:17,640
I've not watched lamb Man apparently beloved, and I never

1952
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:22,920
watched Tombstone? Yes, you never? Did you ever see Tombstone?

1953
01:37:27,079 --> 01:37:31,479
I just disappoint you constantly. My No, No, it's not

1954
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:44,239
you're disappointed. My nose is itch. I'm gonna try to go. No,

1955
01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:46,439
it's it's I'm gonna try to go once a week without.

1956
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,640
You don't want to do when when you say did

1957
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:50,920
you have you ever had or did you ever see?

1958
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:55,119
I'm gonna say yes and lie. I don't feel bemoaned. No,

1959
01:37:55,199 --> 01:37:58,640
it's fine. You don't like you don't like violence and

1960
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:04,600
violent movies. There's a lot of violence. Uh, there's a

1961
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:07,800
lot of violence in Tombstone. Okay, great movie though. All right,

1962
01:38:08,239 --> 01:38:11,199
let's go to Nigel Needel. It's gonna help you out

1963
01:38:11,239 --> 01:38:14,840
all my screen's networking here. Let's see, all right, you

1964
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:16,760
pop up line one there, I guess, So, Hi Needel?

1965
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:17,119
How are you?

1966
01:38:18,359 --> 01:38:18,520
Speaker 5: Hey?

1967
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:19,159
Speaker 14: How's it go on?

1968
01:38:19,279 --> 01:38:19,560
Speaker 2: Guys?

1969
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,239
Speaker 7: So I was gonna give you a little little insight

1970
01:38:22,359 --> 01:38:25,479
into the Southwest Boarding because my wife works for them

1971
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:29,600
and I fly a standby all the time. So it's

1972
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:32,399
actually great. Now the people that are complaining are actually

1973
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:34,680
the people that are spending the least amount of money

1974
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:38,600
on tickets. So before, if you paid more to be

1975
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:40,880
in group A or group B, you know, you would

1976
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:43,239
expect that you got on first and you got to

1977
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:45,920
pretty much have the pick of your seats. Well, now

1978
01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:48,800
that there's a sign seating, they no longer do the

1979
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,239
If you're traveling with children, you get to board before

1980
01:38:52,239 --> 01:38:54,840
everybody else. If you're active military, you get to board

1981
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,680
before everybody else. If you have a sprained ankle, you

1982
01:38:57,760 --> 01:38:59,920
get to board before everybody else. So all of the

1983
01:39:00,119 --> 01:39:03,119
people that were going up that were spending the least

1984
01:39:03,119 --> 01:39:05,840
amount of money on tickets were going up and getting

1985
01:39:07,319 --> 01:39:10,479
endorsements on their tickets to where they could board first

1986
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:12,880
in front of everybody else, and the people that were

1987
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:14,600
paying the money were not. So the people that are

1988
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:16,840
paying the money are actually happy with the system now

1989
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:19,840
because they get to get on and get their assigned seat.

1990
01:39:20,319 --> 01:39:22,560
They don't have half the plane already full by the

1991
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:24,520
time they get on there. The people that are complaining

1992
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:27,640
is the people that can no longer take their twelve

1993
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:29,840
year old kids that are supposed to be seven and

1994
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:32,960
board in front of everybody else and take seats in

1995
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:35,680
the front. So that's the people that are complaining the

1996
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:37,520
most is the people that were paying the least.

1997
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:43,039
Speaker 2: Hmmm, because the complaint I've seen Negel is the A listeners,

1998
01:39:43,119 --> 01:39:45,760
the A plus preferred, the frequent flyers. They're the ones

1999
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:49,600
that felt like they're being not treated with the extra

2000
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:52,239
little love that freaking flyers typically get. That's what I

2001
01:39:52,399 --> 01:39:53,239
primarily have seen.

2002
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:57,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, there's not really any extra perks, and

2003
01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:00,279
they're not losing anything because now I mean, they're gonna

2004
01:40:00,319 --> 01:40:02,159
get those seats that are in the first four or

2005
01:40:02,199 --> 01:40:04,880
five rows automatically. They're not gonna have to worry about

2006
01:40:05,239 --> 01:40:07,439
getting on there and fighting for a good seat. But

2007
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:10,640
the people that were getting those good seats before and

2008
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:13,079
not paying for them are now not able to do that.

2009
01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 2: So okay, now you are. So you are a stand

2010
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:19,159
by guy. How often you get to go on those

2011
01:40:19,159 --> 01:40:20,079
little stand by trips?

2012
01:40:20,159 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 11: A lot?

2013
01:40:21,279 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 2: Infrequently?

2014
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:22,319
Speaker 4: Frequently?

2015
01:40:22,439 --> 01:40:25,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I'm going to Shreveport to the casino

2016
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:30,640
tomorrow and last week I went to Vegas, So I

2017
01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:32,159
mean I travel pretty often.

2018
01:40:32,359 --> 01:40:35,560
Speaker 2: Like wait a minute, and it can't fly southwest as Shreveport.

2019
01:40:36,880 --> 01:40:39,039
Speaker 7: Well, okay, so let me tell you there's a little

2020
01:40:39,079 --> 01:40:42,960
inside thing. So all of the airlines are partnered, are

2021
01:40:43,039 --> 01:40:45,960
partnered up with one another. So because my wife works

2022
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:49,840
for Southwest, she can fly any other airline, United American,

2023
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:52,000
whoever it is, and all she has to pay is

2024
01:40:52,079 --> 01:40:55,560
the taxes. So this trip round trip to Shreport's gonna

2025
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:56,960
cost me fifty one dollars.

2026
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:01,239
Speaker 2: Would you like a son in law? Oh?

2027
01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:02,399
Speaker 10: Yeah, I love one.

2028
01:41:04,359 --> 01:41:07,760
Speaker 2: Angel. Thank you very much. Now you feel better about it?

2029
01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 5: Ross?

2030
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 2: No, so what He's basically saying, you didn't stick me

2031
01:41:13,039 --> 01:41:14,760
in a middle seat, so I'm happy about it? No, No,

2032
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:15,600
I actually why?

2033
01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:16,039
Speaker 5: Uh?

2034
01:41:16,319 --> 01:41:18,439
Speaker 2: I actually a higher fair that allowed me to choose.

2035
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,119
Let you choose your seat. Yeah, thank you. And you're

2036
01:41:21,159 --> 01:41:23,439
a window guy, which makes me happy because I like aisles.

2037
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:25,720
That means if you love a window, you are not

2038
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:29,279
taking one of my aslespots. Yeah, I am not gonna

2039
01:41:29,279 --> 01:41:32,119
get my elbow hit by fifty people and then the cart.

2040
01:41:32,279 --> 01:41:36,319
So I'm good. I'm chilling in the window going ninety night,

2041
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:41,439
absolutely depending. Yeah, I'm doing better on a morning flight. Yeah. Okay,

2042
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:44,520
let's hear from Christia walk you want to, Yes, he

2043
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:50,439
sounds pretty chipper Chipper Jones, not Chipper Jones, just generally speaking, Chipper.

01:41:50,520 --> 01:41:55,760
We'll hear from the astro. First baseman, every day, first baseman,

01:41:59,199 --> 01:42:08,880
Amen twelve thirty, Sports Talk seven ninety Fat Ross and

2047
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:13,560
we are happy to have Chris Gordy down in Florida

2048
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:16,479
covering the team. And he was in the clubhouse earlier today.

2049
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:19,600
We'll be down there Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, next week. Hey,

2050
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:21,720
it's a grime man. We get there early in the morning.

2051
01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:28,680
Talk wait around, Yes, still waiting for Chas mccormber to

2052
01:42:28,720 --> 01:42:30,199
come back to his locker. I could talk to him,

2053
01:42:30,239 --> 01:42:31,520
and I said I would wait, and I wait and

2054
01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:34,239
I waited and he brushed me off. And now he's gone.

2055
01:42:34,359 --> 01:42:36,960
Now he's gone, So he's going going gone, see you later.

2056
01:42:37,239 --> 01:42:39,600
That's what he had to say. Robert Ford's I'm not

2057
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:42,159
gonna say that for him. It may work. You may

2058
01:42:42,159 --> 01:42:44,119
say McCormack home run, deep left field, gone, but he

2059
01:42:44,159 --> 01:42:47,840
won't say Cela, I know here is Christian Walker. Hopefully

2060
01:42:48,039 --> 01:42:49,520
Robert Ford will be saying a lot of see you

2061
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:53,399
laters to Christian Walker. He was asked today what it's

2062
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:55,800
like to have at crowded infield, and he has some

2063
01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:59,560
previous experience with such a tactic. What do you think

2064
01:42:59,600 --> 01:42:59,840
of it?

2065
01:43:00,239 --> 01:43:04,039
Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't necessarily like talking about

2066
01:43:04,039 --> 01:43:05,880
the past or anything like that, but but my time

2067
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:10,119
in Arizona, we've we've had some similarly, you know, put

2068
01:43:10,159 --> 01:43:12,319
together teams where there's some guys that can do a

2069
01:43:12,399 --> 01:43:14,199
bunch of different roles and wear a few different hats.

2070
01:43:15,159 --> 01:43:16,319
Speaker 2: You know, I think it can be a great thing

2071
01:43:16,359 --> 01:43:18,439
for a team. I think more weapons is always a

2072
01:43:18,479 --> 01:43:18,800
good thing.

2073
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,199
Speaker 15: You know, we're we're talking about potentially, you know, what

2074
01:43:23,359 --> 01:43:25,640
to do with another really good player and a really

2075
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:28,359
good bat and and a high value to a team

2076
01:43:28,479 --> 01:43:30,319
that that won us a lot of games last year

2077
01:43:30,319 --> 01:43:31,600
and is gonna win us games this year.

2078
01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean call it.

2079
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:36,279
Speaker 15: You know, it's it's a little bit of a puzzle,

2080
01:43:36,319 --> 01:43:38,239
but but I think it's gonna I think it's gonna

2081
01:43:38,239 --> 01:43:41,600
make the team stronger. I think it's very much an

2082
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:45,199
all in mentality and and it'll be it'll be fun.

2083
01:43:46,159 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 2: When you look at last year, and I know you

2084
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:49,399
didn't like to talk in the past, but when you

2085
01:43:50,039 --> 01:43:52,560
assess it, do you feel like maybe you're putting too

2086
01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:54,520
much pressure on yourself or anything like that. You know,

2087
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:56,319
a big free agent deal and all that kind of

2088
01:43:56,319 --> 01:43:58,640
stuff or just it's baseball.

2089
01:43:58,319 --> 01:44:01,319
Speaker 15: And sometimes it's you know, yeah, yeah, I think I

2090
01:44:01,399 --> 01:44:03,600
think it's it's for me, it's more that category. It's

2091
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:05,399
it's it's baseball. It was you know, it was a

2092
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:07,760
tough first half for sure, I'm not gonna deny that.

2093
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,720
But and I think the second half things started, you know,

2094
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:14,960
falling back into place, and yeah, it's it's hard to

2095
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,159
sit here and say maybe why or what. I don't

2096
01:44:18,159 --> 01:44:21,359
I don't think it was any of uh, you know,

2097
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:23,279
the situation. I think for me, it was just about

2098
01:44:23,319 --> 01:44:25,079
my swing. I had a hard time repeating some moves.

2099
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:27,920
Spent a lot of time in the cages over the

2100
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:29,960
course of the season, in this offseason just trying to

2101
01:44:30,119 --> 01:44:32,560
figure some things out. But uh, yeah, yeah, I feel

2102
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:35,520
I feel like myself and I'm excited for for another season.

2103
01:44:36,359 --> 01:44:39,359
Speaker 2: Right there, you go, What do you think he sounds

2104
01:44:39,479 --> 01:44:41,560
chipper again? I didn't mean to use chipper a third

2105
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:48,880
time in a segment. I apologize. Upbeat, sure, positive, and

2106
01:44:49,159 --> 01:44:51,840
he did go off of what a lot of Christian Walker,

2107
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:55,119
not truthers, but people that are rooting for him, saying

2108
01:44:55,199 --> 01:44:57,600
that his second half was significantly more productive than his

2109
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:02,159
first half. Does he have truthers second half for Christian

2110
01:45:02,239 --> 01:45:07,279
Walker two fifty average, seven ninety nine ops, fifteen home

2111
01:45:07,359 --> 01:45:12,239
runs in sixty two starts, where he had in ninety

2112
01:45:12,359 --> 01:45:15,279
games ninety starts just twelve home runs in the first half.

2113
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,720
So everything improved. If you put those numbers up against

2114
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:22,000
what he had the last year in Arizona, it's pretty

2115
01:45:22,079 --> 01:45:26,680
much on par eight hundred ops lot of power. Yeah,

2116
01:45:27,239 --> 01:45:29,159
so how much did that oblique at the start of

2117
01:45:29,199 --> 01:45:32,039
the season hurt him? He just talked about having issues

2118
01:45:32,079 --> 01:45:35,640
repeating stuff in his swing, getting bad habits. Hitters always

2119
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,920
talk about how any sort of little thing gets out

2120
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:40,880
of place and they can throw all it can just

2121
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:44,039
roll downhill and keep ruining the entire swing to him

2122
01:45:44,119 --> 01:45:46,319
being able to correct that in the second half and

2123
01:45:46,399 --> 01:45:49,880
then he can be good. And there is a reality

2124
01:45:50,039 --> 01:45:52,600
ross that he is facing a little bit of heat,

2125
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:55,319
because there is somebody on that bench that could take

2126
01:45:55,359 --> 01:45:57,399
his spot in a heartbeat if he's in for any

2127
01:45:57,439 --> 01:46:00,319
sort of prolonged slump. And I think Roscier Walker has

2128
01:46:00,399 --> 01:46:02,319
pride even though he's making great money, has been a

2129
01:46:02,359 --> 01:46:05,000
successful Major League baseball player, and has never sat prolonged

2130
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:06,520
on a bench any point in his life and doesn't

2131
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:08,680
want to do it here in Houston. Escuk Paratist is

2132
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:11,439
a better hitter than Christian Walker as of this this moment.

2133
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:13,479
If you go just based on second half and you know,

2134
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:15,680
of course estok Paratus was hurt in the second half,

2135
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:18,439
we can make some arguments, but just one to one

2136
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:22,079
in a vacuum, esak Paratus is a better hitter. So

2137
01:46:22,359 --> 01:46:24,359
I mean, how do you how do you figure this out?

2138
01:46:24,399 --> 01:46:26,720
How do you keep him out of the like talking

2139
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:29,439
about Estoch keep him out of the lineup every single

2140
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,319
day when Christian Walker, of course we know, wants to

2141
01:46:31,359 --> 01:46:33,000
be out there every single day. And oh, by the way,

2142
01:46:33,039 --> 01:46:34,800
you're paying him to be out there every single day.

2143
01:46:34,960 --> 01:46:38,000
By the way, I wonder when the pitchers, the pitchers

2144
01:46:38,039 --> 01:46:40,000
and catchers are there, where the position players get there,

2145
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:43,079
there's going to be an escoch Praidius. How's your hamstring?

2146
01:46:43,279 --> 01:46:45,479
Because that was as bad of a hamstring injury as

2147
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:48,359
you're gonna possibly get. Now, he did labor and get

2148
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:51,039
back on the field, not to the play defense, but

2149
01:46:51,079 --> 01:46:54,119
he able to swing a bat, So kudos to him

2150
01:46:54,159 --> 01:46:57,279
for trying. I mean, he he literally getted it out.

2151
01:46:59,039 --> 01:47:01,880
But where or is that hamstring. Is it one hundred

2152
01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:04,000
percent healthy? Is it ready to go? Can he feeld

2153
01:47:04,039 --> 01:47:06,920
his position? Because here's the thing, if you're trying to

2154
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:09,159
trade him, you know there's gonna be medicals on the

2155
01:47:09,199 --> 01:47:11,279
other ste He's gonna have to pass the physical wherever

2156
01:47:11,359 --> 01:47:17,760
it goes. Yeah, okay, uh, Look, selfishly, we're not anti

2157
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:19,800
Christian Walker. In fact, Christian is one of the more

2158
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:22,560
thoughtful players in the team in terms of hearing from

2159
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:25,680
him and being able to discuss the world to baseball,

2160
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:28,479
discuss his team, discuss his own swing, discuss his ups

2161
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:32,359
and downs. There's no reason why we can't root for him. Yeah,

2162
01:47:32,399 --> 01:47:35,760
I think the for what he was, I think in

2163
01:47:35,920 --> 01:47:38,600
my mind I kind of write him off a little

2164
01:47:38,680 --> 01:47:41,720
easily because of how poor the year overall as a

2165
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:44,119
whole was. But he was much better in the second half.

2166
01:47:44,319 --> 01:47:47,119
But you know what reason another reason why we're running

2167
01:47:47,159 --> 01:47:49,800
him off a little bit is because it was generally

2168
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:52,359
speaking a down year for him, and he's getting older.

2169
01:47:52,399 --> 01:47:55,000
So yeah, those two things together and it's like, are

2170
01:47:55,079 --> 01:47:57,920
we starting to see the downward trend of his major

2171
01:47:58,000 --> 01:47:59,960
league career? But that doesn't mean he can't bounce back.

2172
01:48:00,079 --> 01:48:02,039
That doesn't mean he can't be what he once was.

2173
01:48:02,119 --> 01:48:04,439
And that's that's what the astros have to figure out

2174
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:06,079
and what we're gonna have to kind of see play

2175
01:48:06,119 --> 01:48:08,399
out depending on how things happen with the possible Esselec

2176
01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:11,000
Paratist trade. Guys can play thirty five, thirty six, thirty

2177
01:48:11,039 --> 01:48:13,359
seven years old and still compete. They just can't.

2178
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:14,119
Speaker 10: Now.

2179
01:48:14,199 --> 01:48:16,640
Speaker 2: Can Christian Walker do it at first base?

2180
01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:17,039
Speaker 12: You can?

2181
01:48:17,199 --> 01:48:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, But this organization does value defense. This organization does

2182
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:26,439
value great first baseman, and Christian Walker still fields his

2183
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:28,239
position very very well for a guy that has been

2184
01:48:28,279 --> 01:48:30,279
around as long as he has. So you're not losing

2185
01:48:30,319 --> 01:48:34,399
anything from a defensive standpoint. It's just about the number

2186
01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:38,159
of missed opportunities that there was a song or a

2187
01:48:38,359 --> 01:48:40,560
scenario that came into play. Last year, there was a

2188
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:43,279
lot of times where we would say, all right, runners

2189
01:48:43,359 --> 01:48:46,880
at first and second less than two outs? Can Walker

2190
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:49,439
get one of these guys home or at least advance

2191
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:51,439
the base runners and when you strike out, you leave

2192
01:48:51,479 --> 01:48:54,119
them right where they are. It was bad, and it

2193
01:48:54,199 --> 01:48:56,079
was bad for times, but I think even I can

2194
01:48:56,479 --> 01:49:00,199
find his risk even his risk numbers weren't bad. Yes,

2195
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,119
seven thirty seven ops with runners in scoring position. But

2196
01:49:05,199 --> 01:49:07,640
that's consistent about where I think he was consistently there

2197
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:10,239
his the whole season. He just wasn't good enough in

2198
01:49:10,279 --> 01:49:14,359
any any kind of leverage situation. Well, you don't want, honestly, ROSSI,

2199
01:49:14,439 --> 01:49:16,279
you don't want your three four to five guys that

2200
01:49:16,279 --> 01:49:18,239
have less than seven to fifty ops. You just don't.

2201
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:20,960
You can live with seven thirty seven if it's Jake Myers.

2202
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,239
You can live with seven thirty seven if it's You'd

2203
01:49:23,319 --> 01:49:28,239
love it if it's Cam Smith. But you you look,

2204
01:49:28,399 --> 01:49:31,279
you want your heart lineup guys to be ops and

2205
01:49:31,319 --> 01:49:34,600
around eight hundred and in yourdance case nine hundred. And

2206
01:49:34,720 --> 01:49:37,279
he did in the second half, but last three years

2207
01:49:37,319 --> 01:49:39,359
ops plus one hundred being an average of course one

2208
01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:43,680
twenty ninety seven. You can't have a ninety seven ops

2209
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:47,000
plus at first base or batting in the three four

2210
01:49:47,079 --> 01:49:49,960
five spots. And I still think he's penciling in. Probably

2211
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:51,560
is what a five hitter you would think for this team.

2212
01:49:51,720 --> 01:49:56,279
Probably is he's like Paradus in the lighting now uh

2213
01:49:56,399 --> 01:50:02,920
Al two Olpina Al two ve Jordon Korea Walker. Yeah,

2214
01:50:03,039 --> 01:50:06,239
that sounds about right. I put yord On into two personally,

2215
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:07,920
but I don't know if they're going to do that.

2216
01:50:08,439 --> 01:50:10,560
Joe Spotty keeps trying to do it. I I just

2217
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:13,640
a gut feeling. It's like he's Jordon maybe doesn't like it,

2218
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:16,640
and maybe some of the players don't like it. Does

2219
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:20,119
or On strike out too much to be a two hitter. No, okay,

2220
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:23,439
he's one of your better on bass guys. That's all

2221
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:27,239
I want, is man, How does this sound Pania Jordon

2222
01:50:27,399 --> 01:50:31,920
Paradus or Penya Paradus Jord on working counts, get on base.

2223
01:50:34,039 --> 01:50:35,800
I am not your top three hitters. By the way,

2224
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:37,119
I am not a Nazi. When it comes to a

2225
01:50:37,159 --> 01:50:39,680
line of managing, I like, I have this crazy idea, Well,

2226
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:43,279
your best hitter should get more plate appearances. Yep. Yeah.

2227
01:50:43,279 --> 01:50:46,359
If as long as the strike out numbers are low,

2228
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:49,039
like they were especially early in his career, you can

2229
01:50:49,079 --> 01:50:51,359
put them a number two spot for sure. But people

2230
01:50:51,399 --> 01:50:53,640
are saying Ali Lard are still a smoke show and Landman,

2231
01:50:53,920 --> 01:51:01,119

slipping on the sofa bed and Ross will be sleeping

2254
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:19,479

2255
01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:21,680
douche move to get there later and demand the king bed.

2263
01:52:41,399 --> 01:52:44,239
coming up here. We have some Texans real estate news

2264
01:52:44,279 --> 01:52:47,399
that's intriguing that I think it's partially partially a gut

2265
01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:51,119
feeling hit for me. That could be a precursor to

2266
01:52:51,199 --> 01:52:54,520
a really big gut feeling I had about the Texans.

2267
01:52:54,760 --> 01:52:57,159
But first let's get to you love stadium in Land

2268
01:52:57,239 --> 01:53:01,920
to real estate talk. Well, I like the business of sports, okay,

2269
01:53:02,079 --> 01:53:04,319
And it's not about it's not about the real estate.

2270
01:53:04,359 --> 01:53:07,039
It's about what the endgame is for Old Hannah and

2271
01:53:07,159 --> 01:53:10,199
Cow's is long for the ride. Steve on seven ninety Steve,

2272
01:53:10,239 --> 01:53:12,079
thank you for wedding, and good afternoon to you.

2273
01:53:13,640 --> 01:53:16,399
Speaker 10: Hey, good afternoon, Matt ann Ross, Good afternoon to you.

2274
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:25,199
Why would trading parade is be a good thing for

2275
01:53:25,319 --> 01:53:30,960
the Astros, and how would it make the Astros a

2276
01:53:31,039 --> 01:53:34,239
better team? And I'll be hang up and listen, guy,

2277
01:53:34,279 --> 01:53:36,279
I guess that's okay.

2278
01:53:36,399 --> 01:53:39,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, Steve. I don't think it's better, it's

2279
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:43,479
I think it's by necessity. I'm really concerned about the

2280
01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:49,399
outfield average and power. I think there's concern they're missing

2281
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:52,720
a left handed bats on this lineup. And I think

2282
01:53:52,760 --> 01:53:55,159
if you're dealing in a strengthen one category and a

2283
01:53:56,359 --> 01:53:58,760
problem with depth and quality of the other, if you

2284
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:01,439
can improve on that, you can make the move. That's

2285
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:04,760
if you have too many guards and no centers, you

2286
01:54:04,840 --> 01:54:08,880
trade one of the guards to go basketball on you.

2287
01:54:09,359 --> 01:54:12,359
So that's basically where they are. You have Christian Walker.

2288
01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:15,720
If they to me, it would be them. I think

2289
01:54:15,840 --> 01:54:19,880
we as fans and pundits are And like I said,

2290
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:23,680
I'm guilty of this myself. I'm putting Christian Walker. I'm

2291
01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:26,239
downgrading him more in my mind than maybe the than

2292
01:54:26,399 --> 01:54:29,119
probably the Astros are. The Astros are saying, hey, he

2293
01:54:29,199 --> 01:54:31,079
had this oblique issue to start the season, he had

2294
01:54:31,079 --> 01:54:33,800
a great second half. He can be our everyday first baseman.

2295
01:54:34,279 --> 01:54:37,199
That's fine. And so you have this surplus because you

2296
01:54:37,279 --> 01:54:39,600
want to have Jose al Tuove. You're not getting rid

2297
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:42,279
of Jose al Tuove. That's just a non starter. You're

2298
01:54:42,439 --> 01:54:46,279
in estoc Paratus has value and can help you shore

2299
01:54:46,399 --> 01:54:50,039
up the outfield. So you're saying it's gonna hurt you

2300
01:54:50,119 --> 01:54:51,960
a little bit in terms of infield debt, but it's

2301
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,640
gonna help you with the outfield. So at the very

2302
01:54:54,920 --> 01:54:59,399
least it would it would be an equilibrium and it

2303
01:54:59,439 --> 01:55:03,600
would help solve an everyday lineup problem with where are

2304
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:07,640
you going to stick easoc Pretis every single day because

2305
01:55:07,640 --> 01:55:12,079
he's mostly going to be a defensive third baseman or

2306
01:55:12,239 --> 01:55:14,960
first baseman. He's a corner guy, he doesn't move that great,

2307
01:55:15,039 --> 01:55:17,439
and he's coming off of major hamstring injury. You don't

2308
01:55:17,439 --> 01:55:21,399
want him as much at second base, especially way much

2309
01:55:21,439 --> 01:55:23,760
of it over his professional I understand, I understand the

2310
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:26,239
question that's and I get it. Likes praise is one

2311
01:55:26,239 --> 01:55:28,039
of your's. I keep saying it, and I'm gonna keep

2312
01:55:28,039 --> 01:55:30,000
saying that he's one of their best three hitters. And

2313
01:55:30,319 --> 01:55:32,800
also again for those of you under the let's keep

2314
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:37,119
it as is, guys get hurt. Every single player in

2315
01:55:37,279 --> 01:55:39,880
this infield has had some sort of ailment that has

2316
01:55:40,239 --> 01:55:43,279
seen them away from the game. Carlos Korea Jose was

2317
01:55:43,319 --> 01:55:44,800
more of a hands I don't usually use that.

2318
01:55:45,600 --> 01:55:45,720
Speaker 1: Uh.

2319
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:49,159
Speaker 2: Jeremy two Bay, well, he had a what was his

2320
01:55:49,239 --> 01:55:50,520
oblique intor was that two years ago?

2321
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:50,720
Speaker 13: Ya?

2322
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:52,399
Speaker 2: What about Jeremy's setback?

2323
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:52,880
Speaker 5: Uh?

2324
01:55:53,199 --> 01:55:53,600
Speaker 1: And uh?

2325
01:55:53,680 --> 01:55:55,279
Speaker 2: Al two Bay was playing with a foot injury at

2326
01:55:55,319 --> 01:55:57,039
the end of last year. We had the oblique for

2327
01:55:57,399 --> 01:56:01,720
uh for Brandon uh so for Christian Walker. So I

2328
01:56:01,760 --> 01:56:04,079
was like Brandon Walker, Charls Craze had I mean literally

2329
01:56:04,119 --> 01:56:07,000
got failed. A team failed his physical thinking. There was

2330
01:56:07,039 --> 01:56:10,600
a problem with his leg long term, ye like, And

2331
01:56:10,760 --> 01:56:14,560
he wears the back brace in the in the dugout

2332
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:18,000
every day and that caused terrible concern for astro facts.

2333
01:56:18,359 --> 01:56:22,119
He's been wearing it for years. Should be fine. But

2334
01:56:22,199 --> 01:56:24,239
if I tell you a guy who was putting a

2335
01:56:24,319 --> 01:56:26,479
heating pad on his back every day could possibly he

2336
01:56:26,600 --> 01:56:30,520
is prone to a possible back re injury. That's not

2337
01:56:30,640 --> 01:56:34,720
gonna be crazy. In a perfect world, you would like

2338
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:38,159
to have this kind of incredible insurance policy. But you

2339
01:56:38,279 --> 01:56:42,159
moved Jacob Mountain to go get Burrows, right, Yes, so

2340
01:56:42,279 --> 01:56:45,319
you improved your pitching staff. You had to give up

2341
01:56:45,319 --> 01:56:48,560
an outfielder you were probably gonna get rid of Jake

2342
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:51,920
Myers if and if it wasn't for Melton. And right

2343
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:55,159
now you're sitting there looking at probably the weakest starting

2344
01:56:55,199 --> 01:56:59,760
outfield in Major League Baseball. Can you live without a

2345
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:02,920
kid if it exceeds expectations? Of course you can, right

2346
01:57:02,960 --> 01:57:05,920
Can I say? What if Zach Cole is a diamond

2347
01:57:05,960 --> 01:57:09,840
in the rough? Jake Myers keeps the momentum going from

2348
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:11,640
a career year. That's another thing. I have to remember.

2349
01:57:11,680 --> 01:57:13,239
It was a career year and it won't even close

2350
01:57:13,279 --> 01:57:17,359
for him of the plate. And then cam Smith continues

2351
01:57:17,399 --> 01:57:19,720
to blossom and then goes into full bloom or whatever

2352
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:22,239
you want to call it. That could happen. Here's the

2353
01:57:22,279 --> 01:57:25,680
first round pick. The expectations for Cam Smith is to

2354
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:27,800
not be what he was last year, was to be

2355
01:57:27,880 --> 01:57:31,439
a solid major league Yes, he adapted to the outfield

2356
01:57:31,439 --> 01:57:35,399
after never playing it before. The bat's got to come around.

2357
01:57:35,560 --> 01:57:38,119
If yeah, we're going into the Doctor Strange multiverse. There's

2358
01:57:38,119 --> 01:57:40,560
a multiverse where what I just said is true and

2359
01:57:40,640 --> 01:57:43,279
all three outfielders continue and impress. There's also one where

2360
01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:46,199
Jake Myers is batting average balls and play falls back

2361
01:57:46,239 --> 01:57:47,840
down to Earth and he falls back to what he

2362
01:57:48,079 --> 01:57:52,119
was previously. Cam Smith is second half of an ops

2363
01:57:52,199 --> 01:57:54,680
over five hundred continues, and he's struggling at the plate

2364
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:57,079
with people having a book on him. Zach Cole is

2365
01:57:57,119 --> 01:57:59,560
September lightning in a bottle that doesn't translate to the

2366
01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:03,600
next year, which happens more times than a guy taking

2367
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:06,000
his good September and turning out to be a megastar

2368
01:58:06,439 --> 01:58:08,680
in the following April. So then what you then look

2369
01:58:08,760 --> 01:58:10,840
at is say, wait a minute, I've got a baseball

2370
01:58:10,920 --> 01:58:13,159
team with too many good hitters in the infield and

2371
01:58:13,199 --> 01:58:15,640
I've nowhere to put him, and I got an outfield

2372
01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:18,560
that I'm just dying to see it play. I mean dying.

2373
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:21,119
He's gonna slight die a slow death. I think they're

2374
01:58:21,199 --> 01:58:23,359
more worried about the outfield spots. And we just had

2375
01:58:23,439 --> 01:58:25,800
Chris Gordion, well, I guess it was a couple hours

2376
01:58:26,199 --> 01:58:29,079
at this point, Shows Flying. We had Chris Gordy and

2377
01:58:29,119 --> 01:58:31,520
he talked about, hey, guys, from feeling he's getting out there,

2378
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:33,960
there's no guarantee for cam Smith to get it get

2379
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:37,359
a starting role either, and they're trying to get him

2380
01:58:37,399 --> 01:58:40,279
in center field and figure stuff out. The SOO doesn't

2381
01:58:40,319 --> 01:58:46,800
necessarily brim confidence your hay, Sus Sanchez. I mean, yeah,

2382
01:58:47,079 --> 01:58:50,119
much of an outfield edition. Your cup is spilling over

2383
01:58:50,199 --> 01:58:53,000
in the infield and you need some help there in

2384
01:58:53,039 --> 01:58:57,479
the outfield. You're trying to balance it, and unfortunately Christian

2385
01:58:57,520 --> 01:58:59,800
Walker to other teams probably has less value than he

2386
01:59:00,079 --> 01:59:02,600
does to you. The only value you would have with

2387
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:04,920
Christian Walker being sent is if you pick up some

2388
01:59:05,039 --> 01:59:07,279
of his taps. I don't think that Jim Crane's overly

2389
01:59:08,399 --> 01:59:10,920
anxious to do such a thing. All right, come back,

2390
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:14,520
we'll talk with you about the Texans real estate news

2391
01:59:15,039 --> 01:59:16,640

01:59:16,640 --> 01:59:18,479
Houston wants start with the Rockets and the Astros. We'll

2393
01:59:18,479 --> 01:59:20,319
get to him if you want to follow him up

2394
01:59:20,399 --> 01:59:22,680

Harris County owns an RG stadium and currently leas's out

2403

the facility to the Texans and the livestock show on Rodeo.

2404
01:59:48,960 --> 01:59:51,239
They share the facility. That lease ends in two thousand

2405
01:59:51,399 --> 01:59:58,520
thirty two. And now step one in the let's get

2406
01:59:58,640 --> 02:00:03,840
something done to build better Houston Texans. Not on the field. Hey,

group and they're most notably known for helping create The

2442
02:02:32,279 --> 02:02:42,800
woodlands along With George. Mitchell, okay so the facility is

2443
02:02:42,920 --> 02:02:47,640
going out far far Northwest houston on the very, edge

2444
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:52,279
the very very edge Of Harris, county where there is

2445
02:02:52,399 --> 02:02:55,560
lots of land. UNDEVELOPED i, mean anybody that's been in

2446
02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:57,720
that area knows there is lots of real estate over.

2447
02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:01,840
THERE i, mean this that's A i was Thinking Jersey

2448
02:03:01,960 --> 02:03:04,319
village ish esque, area but there wasn't as much room over.

2449
02:03:04,359 --> 02:03:06,119
There there's plenty of room out there on the top

2450
02:03:06,199 --> 02:03:09,720
on the on The Grand. Parkway so that's step. One

2451
02:03:10,920 --> 02:03:13,840
now step second step is going to be are they

2452
02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:15,359
going to love it so much over there they're going

2453
02:03:15,399 --> 02:03:16,880
to find a big old plot of land to build

2454
02:03:16,880 --> 02:03:19,560

but it's a lot of times the lipstick on a.

2581
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:43,239

Speaker 11: Clue we're allowed of.

2789
02:20:53,639 --> 02:20:55,520
Speaker 2: Percentage we're Just i'll go the other. Way i'll say

2790
02:20:55,600 --> 02:20:59,680
forty sixty because again it's easier to they refurbish and

2791
02:20:59,760 --> 02:21:02,559
are at a lower. Cost that is going to, cost

2792
02:21:02,639 --> 02:21:04,920
and they still owe a billion dollars on energ what's

2793
02:21:04,959 --> 02:21:06,559
gonna happen over, there what's gonna happen in the actual?

2794
02:21:06,600 --> 02:21:08,280
Well The rodeo could also play a huge role in that.

2795
02:21:08,360 --> 02:21:10,520
Too rodeo has got a lot to, say don't. They

2796
02:21:10,600 --> 02:21:13,399
they could inherit and, say all, right you will fix

2797
02:21:14,159 --> 02:21:16,879
you fix. Us we'll make this a facility and then

2798
02:21:16,920 --> 02:21:19,200
we'll create our own football citium out. There and what about,

2799
02:21:19,280 --> 02:21:21,200
yeah concerts and all the other stuff that's out. THERE

2800
02:21:22,680 --> 02:21:26,280
i would say refurbishment of energy is the, favorite because

2801
02:21:26,319 --> 02:21:28,639
here's the. THING i mentioned this the other. Day you're

2802
02:21:28,680 --> 02:21:30,120
not getting A World cup again, here not that. Way

2803
02:21:30,159 --> 02:21:32,600
we're gonna get A World cup probably for. Decades. Correct, Yeah,

2804
02:21:32,680 --> 02:21:36,120
no you're out of THE cfp, Running you're out of

2805
02:21:36,159 --> 02:21:38,280
The Super bowl. Running you're probably out of the final

2806
02:21:38,280 --> 02:21:39,959
four running because you're. Here it's a problem with. That

2807
02:21:39,959 --> 02:21:42,079
you're out of the final. Four you've got no hotels

2808
02:21:42,079 --> 02:21:44,040
and stuff around. There people like to be close to.

2809
02:21:44,079 --> 02:21:46,600
Everything that's Why indianapolis does so well in other cities like.

2810
02:21:46,680 --> 02:21:49,200
That so you got to build hotels And bridgeland and

2811
02:21:49,239 --> 02:21:51,239
who's gonna want to stay In bridgeland when there's no game?

2812
02:21:51,280 --> 02:21:55,680
There how are those hotels staying? Full? Uh you're going

2813
02:21:55,760 --> 02:21:58,680
to then Assume i'm going this is just presumption that

2814
02:21:59,040 --> 02:22:01,559

over The Energy. Corridor nobody thought about every building hotels

2818
02:22:09,520 --> 02:22:11,520
In katie fifteen years ago what they. Did so you're

2819
02:22:11,520 --> 02:22:14,959
gonna get businesses to move out. THERE i, mean somebody's telling,

2833
02:22:57,280 --> 02:23:00,399
up to In. Frisco there there's also where THE Nhl stars,

2834

train there's the minor League Rough riders In DOUBLE a,

2835
02:23:03,040 --> 02:23:06,120
baseball AND Fc dallas plays In. Frisco so they got

2836

there's more going on In frisco than they're all started

2837
02:23:09,120 --> 02:23:11,719
by The star Or Ford center wherever they're calling.

2838
02:23:11,760 --> 02:23:12,319
Speaker 4: It, yeah.

2839
02:23:16,399 --> 02:23:19,079
Speaker 2: To the audience that's listening to, us it's primarily about

2840
02:23:19,079 --> 02:23:21,520
where The sundays are going to. Be that's the that's

2841
02:23:21,559 --> 02:23:23,559
the endgame of all. This this facility is cool and,

2842
02:23:23,600 --> 02:23:26,639
everything but really the general public is not going to

2843
02:23:26,680 --> 02:23:29,280
spend a lot of time going To texans. Practice they're,

2844
02:23:29,319 --> 02:23:31,079
saying if we build, it they will. Come they're going

2845
02:23:31,120 --> 02:23:33,879
to build all these restaurants in these. Bars, well you

2846
02:23:33,959 --> 02:23:36,239
probably could build the restaurants regardless of whether The texans

2847
02:23:36,239 --> 02:23:37,239
went out there or. Not but if you put A

2848
02:23:37,280 --> 02:23:39,200
texans them around, it and you said you kill two

2849
02:23:39,200 --> 02:23:42,319
birds with one, stone you create a little because, again

2850
02:23:42,760 --> 02:23:44,879
the district In atlanta does very very. Well now there's

2851
02:23:44,920 --> 02:23:47,000
a stadium attached to, It so that Hurt at dumps

2852
02:23:47,399 --> 02:23:49,959
to that area where The New England patriots. Are that

2853
02:23:50,040 --> 02:23:52,799
the community In foxboro has lots of restaurants in, bars

2854
02:23:52,840 --> 02:23:54,920
but there's also a seventy thousand seat stadium next to.

2855
02:23:55,000 --> 02:23:59,879
It the practice facility doesn't move the. NEEDLE a stadium

2856
02:24:00,040 --> 02:24:02,360
couldn't do. It, yeah there's The Ford. Center you can

2857
02:24:02,520 --> 02:24:06,159
seat people at fifteen thousand seats indoor two play games

2858
02:24:06,200 --> 02:24:07,879
and play high school. Games they can do that. That,

2859
02:24:08,040 --> 02:24:09,719
well we don't know that they're not doing. That, again

2860
02:24:09,760 --> 02:24:11,479
we don't. Know, yeah this is still very. Early they

2861
02:24:11,520 --> 02:24:14,319
could very easily build a star over there and put

2862
02:24:15,399 --> 02:24:17,559
twelve thirteen thousand seats sitting and put high school games.

2863
02:24:17,559 --> 02:24:18,799
In are you kidding? Me they would sell. Them they

2864
02:24:18,799 --> 02:24:20,399
would be that'd be the place to play a high

2865
02:24:20,399 --> 02:24:22,600
school game. Indoors not to worry about weather or. Not

2866
02:24:22,719 --> 02:24:25,520

2907
02:26:28,879 --> 02:26:31,559

was listened to Uh cal And hannah make that, announcement

2918
02:27:01,959 --> 02:27:03,680
ALL i could think of, is you, know these kind

2919
02:27:03,719 --> 02:27:05,799
of deals don't come together in a couple of. Weeks

2920
02:27:05,840 --> 02:27:08,399
this thing's been, months maybe a couple of years in the,

2921
02:27:08,479 --> 02:27:10,280
making you, Know and these guys have known that they

2922
02:27:10,319 --> 02:27:12,920
were going to make this announcement right about this time of.

2923
02:27:13,040 --> 02:27:15,440
Year and don't you know that a month or so

2924
02:27:15,600 --> 02:27:20,440
ago they had visions of announcing this after winning The Super,

2925
02:27:20,520 --> 02:27:23,280
bowl or at least getting to The Super, bowl and

2926
02:27:23,360 --> 02:27:26,920
instead we end up, with you, KNOW. Cj stroud pooping himself,

2927
02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:30,159
again you, know in a division round and The texans bowing,

2928
02:27:30,200 --> 02:27:32,520
out and you can just Imagine cal turning To hannah

2929
02:27:33,040 --> 02:27:36,680
after the fourth interception in the first half and going wolf.

2930
02:27:36,760 --> 02:27:39,639
Speaker 9: GIVEN i guess that takes all the, excitment all of

2931
02:27:39,719 --> 02:27:43,639
our announcement. Above Brudge, Wirium oh, listen.

2932
02:27:43,559 --> 02:27:45,079
Speaker 2: Well, Brian i'm gonna say, This AND i told this

2933
02:27:45,120 --> 02:27:47,600
To ross when it. HAPPENED i, SAID i think we

2934
02:27:47,879 --> 02:27:50,040
put to tell the truth on. This they were going

2935
02:27:50,120 --> 02:27:52,719
to have to announce this now regardless of how the

2936
02:27:52,760 --> 02:27:54,559
texts were gonna end. Up it would have been easier

2937
02:27:54,639 --> 02:27:57,000
to sell and not necessarily look into sell anything to

2938
02:27:57,040 --> 02:27:59,319
the audience. Today but it'd have been a much more

2939
02:28:01,200 --> 02:28:04,719
exciting announcement if you had playoff success to go along with.

2940
02:28:04,799 --> 02:28:07,799
It but now you've got a divisional. Loss so, yeah

2941
02:28:07,840 --> 02:28:10,680
they were gonna this was always under, calendar regardless of

2942
02:28:10,680 --> 02:28:12,000
how the team was going to turn, out because they

2943
02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:14,879
want to get this ready by twenty twenty. Nine, yeah

2944
02:28:14,920 --> 02:28:16,600
they were hoping for the. Best they didn't get the,

2945
02:28:16,719 --> 02:28:22,280
best but this plan was going to go forward TO i,

2946
02:28:22,360 --> 02:28:24,760
mean as the caller, said it was going to discipend

2947
02:28:24,799 --> 02:28:27,200
it in the works for probably quite some, time probably

2948
02:28:27,200 --> 02:28:29,760
at least a. Year alex And, conroe you're On Toro.

2949
02:28:29,879 --> 02:28:33,319
Town what's going, On? Alex what's?

Speaker 7: Up?

2951
02:28:33,559 --> 02:28:36,520
Speaker 3: Guys MAT i sent you A dm about this a while,

2952
02:28:36,639 --> 02:28:40,680
back Whenever hannah and col were first starting to let

2953
02:28:40,719 --> 02:28:42,360
it be known that they were interested in getting a new.

2954
02:28:42,399 --> 02:28:43,639
Speaker 2: STADIUM i sent you A.

2955
02:28:43,719 --> 02:28:46,520
Speaker 3: Dm with a photo THAT i did a screenshot off the,

2956
02:28:46,559 --> 02:28:49,719
maps AND i think they messed up so. Bad bridgeland

2957
02:28:50,079 --> 02:28:53,840
is a really nice bedroom community and that's. It there's

2958
02:28:53,879 --> 02:28:56,440
nothing out, there. Dude just to get To, bridgeland you

2959
02:28:56,520 --> 02:28:58,920
have to take ninety. Nine that's the most efficient way

2960
02:28:58,959 --> 02:29:01,319
to get, there, right, yes, Right so now you're expecting,

2961
02:29:01,600 --> 02:29:04,200
everybody Every Houston texans fan is going to be on ninety.

2962
02:29:04,280 --> 02:29:06,040
Speaker 2: Nine that's, no, no, no no no no no no

2963
02:29:06,120 --> 02:29:07,920
no no no no, no you're miss UNDER i told

2964
02:29:07,959 --> 02:29:11,479
this To ross twenty minutes. Ago they don't care if

2965
02:29:11,520 --> 02:29:14,680
you don't live fifteen minutes away From they want everybody

2966
02:29:14,719 --> 02:29:17,000
within twenty minutes Of bridgeland to go out. There they

2967
02:29:17,040 --> 02:29:23,000
don't care That baytown and Clear lake and what other

2968
02:29:23,120 --> 02:29:25,920
Else Eric kingwood for that, matter they don't need. Us

2969
02:29:26,559 --> 02:29:29,399
they're hoping that that area is going to, explode because

2970
02:29:29,440 --> 02:29:31,520
so far it has, exploded and it may be a

2971
02:29:31,559 --> 02:29:34,280
bedroom community, today but there ain't nowhere else to grow

2972
02:29:34,319 --> 02:29:36,280
in heat city Of. Houston that's the spot to be.

2973
02:29:36,360 --> 02:29:38,639
In they don't. Care that's not. True that's not.

2974
02:29:38,760 --> 02:29:41,879
Speaker 3: True the map THAT i sent, you there's a parcel

2975
02:29:41,920 --> 02:29:46,799
of land right on the very very north edge Of Harris.

2976
02:29:46,840 --> 02:29:48,399
Speaker 2: County it's on forty.

2977
02:29:48,479 --> 02:29:51,360
Speaker 3: Five it's on ninety, nine right there in this, corner

2978
02:29:51,440 --> 02:29:54,360
right where they built the New Shiver run Or exxon.

2979
02:29:54,440 --> 02:29:57,200
COMPLEX i think It's. Exxon and if they only needed

2980
02:29:57,239 --> 02:29:59,079
eighty three acres then they could have gotten it. There

2981
02:29:59,120 --> 02:30:01,079
there's A i, mean it's. Perfect it would have been

2982
02:30:01,079 --> 02:30:03,120
a perfect. Spot you'd have been right there on the.

2983
02:30:03,200 --> 02:30:05,639
Freeway you would have had access to The Hardy Tooll

2984
02:30:05,719 --> 02:30:08,239
road to get to the airport forty five to get.

2985
02:30:08,319 --> 02:30:10,879
Downtown The woodlands is two miles away with all the,

2986
02:30:10,920 --> 02:30:12,799
restaurants all the, hotels.

2987
02:30:12,799 --> 02:30:16,760
Speaker 2: All of the Shop but my point, Is, alex the

2988
02:30:16,879 --> 02:30:19,280
people in The woodlands already have that this is an

2989
02:30:19,360 --> 02:30:21,879
area town that doesn't have. It they're looking for it was,

2990
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:24,000
cheap and then also they're looking for this area to,

2991
02:30:24,079 --> 02:30:26,559
grow not to say this is where the people are.

2992
02:30:26,639 --> 02:30:29,079
Now they wanted. To they want to grow, themselves and

2993
02:30:29,079 --> 02:30:30,879
they want to be the reason. Again they want they

2994
02:30:30,959 --> 02:30:33,319
want anybody that lives within five miles of there to,

2995
02:30:33,360 --> 02:30:34,760
say you know, what we're gonna go to dinner, tonight

2996
02:30:35,079 --> 02:30:39,399
and you could call It. Astroville they, Don't they're just

2997
02:30:39,440 --> 02:30:41,680
putting a name on. It the bottom line is they're

2998
02:30:41,760 --> 02:30:44,719
trying to occupy it with restaurants and bars that currently

2999
02:30:44,760 --> 02:30:47,719
are not. There they want to infiltrate the area because

3000
02:30:47,719 --> 02:30:49,840
they believe that's where businesses are going to start to.

3001
02:30:49,840 --> 02:30:51,879
Grow AND i guarantee you home sales are starting to.

3002
02:30:51,920 --> 02:30:54,639
Grow that's the reason why they're not doing, this because

3003
02:30:54,680 --> 02:30:57,520
they're they're trying to get everybody to come out to

3004
02:30:57,600 --> 02:30:59,559
go see what the great grass fields look. Like as The,

3005
02:30:59,559 --> 02:31:02,040
texans they could care less about.

3006
02:31:01,760 --> 02:31:05,920
Speaker 3: That if their whole goal is To like everybody's saying

3007
02:31:05,959 --> 02:31:08,920
That bridgeland is, perfect it's, prime blah blah. Blah the

3008
02:31:09,000 --> 02:31:11,719
only reason That bridgeland is prime is because there's literally nothing.

3009
02:31:11,840 --> 02:31:13,879
There so, like you're not gonna have to clear out any,

3010
02:31:13,920 --> 02:31:17,239
Woods you're not gonna have to do. Anything it's just open.

3011
02:31:17,360 --> 02:31:19,959
Speaker 2: Flatland, yes the whole.

3012
02:31:20,000 --> 02:31:22,319
Speaker 3: Concept is a build it and they will come well

3013
02:31:22,360 --> 02:31:23,920
THEN i mean, maybe.

3014
02:31:23,760 --> 02:31:24,479
Speaker 2: But that place.

3015
02:31:24,600 --> 02:31:25,840
Speaker 9: Sucks, dude they could have done.

no conversation about any sort of relationship between The texans

3062
02:33:28,120 --> 02:33:30,760

3063
02:33:30,840 --> 02:33:32,040
would be The texans their own.

3065

02:33:39,079 --> 02:33:41,040
of that leads into the, stadium what it would cost

3067
02:33:41,120 --> 02:33:44,120
to renovate anything like that as opposed to and it's

3068
02:33:44,159 --> 02:33:46,319
going to make me come down to renovate A nrg

3069
02:33:46,559 --> 02:33:49,079
the way they want it to get another to be

Speaker 10: Athletic back From.

3081
02:34:23,360 --> 02:34:26,159
Speaker 14: September they actually interviewed one hundred and twenty FIVE nhl

3082
02:34:26,280 --> 02:34:29,600
CURRENT nhl players and they gave them a list of

3083
02:34:29,639 --> 02:34:32,600
about eight cities And houston was number one by far

3084
02:34:33,120 --> 02:34:35,719
of the place they want to most see them expand.

3085
02:34:36,360 --> 02:34:39,559
Next so THE nhl players want to tell, THEM i

3086
02:34:39,719 --> 02:34:41,360
