00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,840

you so much until you well, I'm doing all right.

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,399
We might have to name this show to two sick

16
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:50,200
guys because I'm a little bit under the weather myself.

17
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,560
But we're powering through Matt. We're here for the people

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,079

00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,320
on Friday and Ross, you were out with a family. O.

21
00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:02,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't catch it. They so like, are used

22
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:03,880
to are you going to survive that?

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,159
Speaker 2: And I really didn't survive it. It was a struggled

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,120
to do the four hours. You resurrected, You're a week early.

25
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: What's that? I said, you resurrected, You're a week early?

26
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:16,319
I don't know it was it was bad.

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: Uh, and then I just could I got started getting

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,519
a fever and couldn't shake it, and did some more,

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,719
couldn't shake the fever, got back to Houston, took the test.

30
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:30,079
Got I have now had COVID. Blah blah blah blah blah.

31
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,000
It's not been great.

32
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: I finally broke the fever yesterday.

33
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: Uh. In the interest of you and I keeping safe,

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,599
I'm gonna be out one more day. I'm gonna work

35
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:41,920
tomorrow from here and then back hopefully in the studio

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,920
Friday with you guys.

37
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: Is Uh. The COVID test came maect negative today, which

38
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:48,599
is good. But that's great. Fight over what's that? I said?

39
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:49,439
That's great? Sorry?

40
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, still finding a little bit of a cough. You

41
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,200
sound like you're in less than one hundred percent. So

42
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,680
that's the last thing I'm gonna do is spread anything

43
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:58,680
to you. But yeah, we're here today, we're less than

44
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,400
a hundred percent, and frankly, we don't have a lot

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:01,359
of staff around us.

46
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: And I want to thank I don't even.

47
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:05,159
Speaker 2: Know who did what to help you out during the

48
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,080
course of the last two days because I couldn't stay awake.

49
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:09,479
I don't know if you know this or not. And

50
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,280
I think most people to do when you get a fever,

51
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,560
especially a high one. I was in one hundred and

52
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,719
twos from most of the last four to five days.

53
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:20,719
I couldn't stay awake. You had no energy whatsoever. All

54
00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:24,000
you want to do is sleep. So if the Adams

55
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:25,960
helped you out, if yes, it was a lot of

56
00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:26,719
Chris Gordy.

57
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Chris Gordy did three hours a day two days, which

58
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:32,479
we appreciate him for stepping up for the one with that.

59
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,879
Speaker 2: He you know what, He's just locked on team player,

60
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,080
being a team players. Why as a program director of

61
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,000
the year in the Houston area. That's what I'm saying,

62
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,759
Absolutely well deserved.

63
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:44,319
Speaker 1: And it was a little bit of Adam Clanton, a

64
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,159
little bit of Adam Weser yesterday as well. Yeah, and

65
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,639
you had Hayden wes Nesky on the show yesterday. Yes,

66
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,560
we are good friends. Now. I've interviewed him three times

67
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,599
and like you know, Matt, we haven't gotten jose Al

68
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,479
Tuova in like five years, but we got Haydens three

69
00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:00,319
times in the last four months, so I know we're

70
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,759
getting to be chummy. You guys are like ig bros.

71
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,560
Now pretty much.

72
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: You're in your you have you have a group text now.

73
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got him at spring training, we got him

74
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,719
on the show yesterday, and we had him at FanFest,

75
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,080
so we're getting to know him very well.

76
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,319
Speaker 2: And he's pitching very well. And you're for a barbecue

77
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:18,000
on Sunday, which is very nice. It's weird. Yeah, he

78
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,639
invited me to the family reunion. It's in Cyprus.

79
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,599
Speaker 1: He wants to date. He wants you to date his sister.

80
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:24,840
It's really nice.

81
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's just say we got a short show

82
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:30,800
to day to eleven o'clock, which kind of helps me

83
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,719
get back on the mode of things a little bit here.

84
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,960
I have been trying to watch as much sportous as

85
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,400
possible in between sleeping. But yeah, the Asterisk continue to play.

86
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:44,639
Is it a Sea Saw season so far?

87
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: Would you say? Yeah? You can call it back and forth,

88
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:51,479
up and down Seesaw? What pendulum swing? I don't know.

89
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,400
For the last twelve games, they have been alternating win

90
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:56,719
and lost, and they have not won two in a

91
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,759
row all year long.

92
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,319
Speaker 2: Can I tell you something, And when I say this,

93
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:05,360
I don't think I'm in the minority on this. And

94
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,240
I've been watching a little a lot of baseball, specially

95
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,960
since I got back to town this weekend, and I

96
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,639
had met and by the way, shout out again to

97
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:14,400
Adam Wexer filling in from me in the last two Rocket.

98
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: Games because I just I couldn't just couldn't get out

99
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:17,439
of bed.

100
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,319
Speaker 2: So I'll be ready to go for the first playoff

101
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,959
game with the Rockets on Sunday. We'll get to that

102
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,680
a little bit. But so I watched a lot of

103
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,480
Astros baseball ross. This team's pretty.

104
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: Boring right now.

105
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:31,959
Speaker 2: I mean they are, isn't a lot to I mean,

106
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,000
Hunter Brown throwing six innings of shutout is never a

107
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
bad thing, but it's these things. They're going less than

108
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,160
two and a half hours most nights, but they're in

109
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:42,879
a whole lot of action.

110
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,199
Speaker 1: There are in a lot, a whole lot of drama,

111
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,519
these bad boys. There were some long ones. What was

112
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,560
the the Mariners one was long the seven to six game,

113
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,120
And there was an extras one to what was it

114
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,920
twelve innings or whatever they won that was last week. Yeah, yeah,

115
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120
but yeah, I don't know, Matt. The Jake Myers fan

116
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,920
Club thought last night was a throw. Oh my god,

117
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,399
you are on cloud nine? Are you not? Well? Well,

118
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:06,240
we'd like more than just singles. Maybe some doubles and

119
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,959
home runs would help. What do you want? Slugging beggars

120
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,360
can't be choosers here, so we're taking what we can get.

121
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,000
We the Jake Myers fan Club is in a good

122
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,199
spot right now. I think that Christian Walker fan Club

123
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,399
is jealous of the Jake Myers fan Club at this point,

124
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:21,199
Christian Walker's fan club, Walker fan Club is struggling. Yeah,

125
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,800
it is struggling, all right.

126
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,079
Speaker 2: So we will get into some astros baseball here today.

127
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:31,040
We will also get into the Rockets. The playoffs are,

128
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:31,959
said ROSSI.

129
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: As far as we're concerned, yes, yes we know the opponent.

130
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,439
Speaker 2: I was up till I think some of you, not

131
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:44,639
many of you, but I think some of you, including you,

132
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,399
were up late last night watching, Yes, the Memphis Golden

133
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:52,199
State game. It looked like second quarter that Memphis had

134
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,879
raised the flag and said we'll go play.

135
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,319
Speaker 1: The nineteen game and be just fine.

136
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: And then they came back, and then John Moran got

137
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,879
hurt and then all of a sudden, desmon Bane and

138
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:04,680
Jaron Jackson are doing some things. And that was a

139
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,680
back and forth Seesaw game until Steph Curtis had to

140
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,480
make a couple of humongous threes late in the contest,

141
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,360
very entertaining on the edge of your seat. And it's

142
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,839
gonna be the Rockets and the Warriors for the what

143
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,519
fifth time since twenty fifteen in the playoffs. Yeah, And

144
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,079
I don't think I need to tell any of you

145
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,560
that are any sort of Rocket offensive, any history at all,

146
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,160
what the last.

147
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: Four have turned out to be. Oh, we don't have

148
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:31,600
to talk about it. We also don't have to talk

149
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,319
about who's favored in the series. Well, I think it's

150
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:35,839
something to bring up because.

151
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,199
Speaker 2: I was looking at the series prices that you put

152
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:42,399
out earlier, and that's just and when you hear the

153
00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:44,720
term series price, I means you just bet the series.

154
00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:46,519
You don't care how many games it goes, You don't

155
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:49,800
care the margins of victory. You just pick a team

156
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:53,279
to win a series four games to three or four

157
00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:57,759
to one, whatever, four zero. Sometimes a five will be

158
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:02,439
favored over a four, right, Yes, In fact, we've got

159
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:04,720
one there with I think the Clippers are a favorite

160
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:05,160
over the.

161
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets in that matchup.

162
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: Occasionally you will see a six over three ross. I

163
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,040
don't know if you can. I don't think you can

164
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,639
do it in a shorter period of time, but how

165
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,680
often I'm just metapholgically to asking you, how often have

166
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,480
you ever seen a seven seed a two to one

167
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,399
favorite over a two seed?

168
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: I would say probably not very often. But I will

169
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:38,879
also say that the big Warriors season turnaround came with

170
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:43,000
Jimmy Butler getting added to the team and playing his

171
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,800
first game for them February eighth.

172
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: And the fact is they're not the same Golden State

173
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:49,720
Warrior team that's a seven seed in playoff team.

174
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: They're twenty one.

175
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: I think they're twenty one and seven since he's been

176
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,399
playing for them, something like that's pretty good seven to

177
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:58,439
fifty basketball. That's not that. And one of the seven

178
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,000
losses granted is to the Rockets, So that's true. Let's

179
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,920
give them credit where credits due. They are not playing

180
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,160
like a seventh seed. They have some warts, and we'll

181
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,959
get to some of that during the course of the

182
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,480
hour today. We'll do a lot of that tomorrow and

183
00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:15,439
Friday will also have you. Mayadoka with us either tomorrow

184
00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:17,240
or Friday. Will also check in what's going on with

185
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:21,199
Golden State and their thoughts on things.

186
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: But they're they're still really good.

187
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: And it's it's Gary Payton Junior getting baskets, it's Moses

188
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,840
Moody attacking hitting threes. It's Draymond doing what Draymond typically does.

189
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,519
Jimmy Butler is just about automatic in the mid range.

190
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:45,960
Three point shoting out so much, but the mid range

191
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,720
has been really good. This is going to be a knockdown,

192
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:53,399
drag out. I mean, if there's any time that you

193
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,200
can't celebrate being a two seed Raws, it might be

194
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,120
twenty twenty five for the Houston Rockets.

195
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was rooting for the Grizzlies. It would be

196
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:06,159
the easier matchup certain people whose names Ryan Schmaden Schmidt

197
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:07,919
and want to take on the Warriors and want to

198
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:09,720
slay the dragon and all that type of stuff.

199
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,039
Speaker 2: But okay with that, I get it too. Yeah, and

200
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,679
we don't have it no matter who we rooted for.

201
00:09:14,799 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: Right man, we don't control what happens on the floor

202
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:19,000
in San Francisco, So it is what it is, right

203
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,720
It is the Rockets taking on the Warriors, and you

204
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:25,720
mentioned Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry going off last night.

205
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:29,120
The good news is there was only one other Warrior

206
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,639
in double digits that night, and it was Quinton Post

207
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:35,039
off the bench. So if you can maybe try to

208
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,000
limit those couple guys, and you mentioned Brandon Perjimski is

209
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,399
gonna be tough maybe you. I mean, look, you have

210
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,279
a shot, you have home court advantage. I think the

211
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,639
series price that you were talking about Warriors at two

212
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,320
to one is a little bit too long of odds

213
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,320
to me. And the Rockets have been doubted all year long.

214
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,519
They were doubted when they played two straight games against

215
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:55,360
the Cleveland Cavaliers, won both of those. They've won a

216
00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:57,200
lot of big games against a lot of good teams,

217
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,120
including these same Golden State Warriors, like you mentioned with

218
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:05,639
Jimmy Butler. Yeah, and I think they're being disrespected and

219
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,639
I hope they take that and take it to heart.

220
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,679
Not that they need extra motivation with coach Youdoka and

221
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,960
the boys, but I think they're they're gonna be looking

222
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,159
to make a statement in this series.

223
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, that is a two to one favorite. It

224
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:19,960
shows to me this is Golden State's been there, done that.

225
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets, excuse me.

226
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: The Houston Rockets are a nice little team with a

227
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,639
lot of nice wins and a young, scrappy team, but

228
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:32,279
there's no superstar. Half their team is zero playoff experience

229
00:10:32,879 --> 00:10:35,759
and they're gonna about and Jimmy Butler has made this

230
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,960
order team. It's much better than a typical seventh seeded team.

231
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,679
I had all that, and I see the reason why

232
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,320
that the it's a two to one favorite for Golden State.

233
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:46,759
But you know what, I don't let Vegas aside things

234
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:49,000
the guys on the floor should. And he made Dooka

235
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,240
is going to probably just use that as Bolton Bore material,

236
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,639
or he may just say f mall and just say

237
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,519
let's just go win and beat the team they've beaten

238
00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:59,039
two times out of five so far this year. We

239
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,240
are with utola o'clock. If you want to chime in

240
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,399
and come in and say hello, we've got an hour.

241
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,159
We've got no guest book, we've got no no scheduled segments.

242
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:07,720
We're gonna take it all the way to eleven o'clock

243
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:08,919
and then.

244
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:10,159
Speaker 1: Get you into Astros Baseball.

245
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: Rossell have that and Brian Bocas if it's going to

246
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:14,960
join uh, ROSSI in the second segment of Astros on

247
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:18,399
Deck seven one three two one two five seven ninety

248
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:20,240
if you want to jump in seven to one three

249
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,120
two one two five seven ninety. The one thing I

250
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:25,120
will say about this, BEF we get to break ROSSI,

251
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,679
did you see the number of calls that Memphis got

252
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:29,240
last night in Golden State?

253
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: Yes? I did. I was startled because.

254
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: And I was going to put this out on Twitter

255
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120
and then I don't need Golden State fan coming after me.

256
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,799
I will just say this as a declarative statement, and

257
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:42,240
please Ross, trust me when I tell you this. I

258
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,440
have been to twenty nine other NBA arenas. Okay, besides

259
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,399
the Toyota Center calling games, there is no better home

260
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,519
court whistle than in San Francisco, California.

261
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: Lebron will get his calls.

262
00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: Uh, you will get a tree Jung will get a call.

263
00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:05,320
In Atlanta, you'll get calls. Actually, trading's bad, probably bad.

264
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,320
Example that though they lost in Orlando, you get ejected.

265
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,360
And yeah, I'm trying to think of who else it

266
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,279
really gets calls. Oh, Luca got calls in Dallas all

267
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,120
the time until he started bitching about it.

268
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: There's a there's the superstars to get their calls.

269
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: There is no other city ross in the NBA that

270
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,440
you and I hate to use the term eight versus five,

271
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,720
but it's in Golden State more than any other twenty

272
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:30,039
to NBA arenas.

273
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,799
Speaker 1: It just is. Yeah, I mean last night. But also

274
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,320
they're fans, and when you feel like you're not getting

275
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,039
the calls and your fans, you're not. You're not asking

276
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,679
for fans to have a bunch of perspective on things.

277
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,639
When we're at the game, they're probably half liquored up,

278
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,080
if not three quarters or more, and it's yelling at

279
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,960
the ref. So I wasn't shocked at all, and nor

280
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,360
should anybody be when you're talking about people who are

281
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,159
in the building. They're homers, and they don't think they're

282
00:12:56,159 --> 00:12:59,080
getting goodhistle. They're gonna scream, hey, ref, you suck right.

283
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: And I was legitimately getting mad at Draymond Green trying

284
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,960
to oh my guys when he fouled out.

285
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when he filed out, Oh, I'm sorry, I

286
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,320
said shrumple last night. Yeah, when he fouled out, he

287
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,279
went he was like screaming at the rough. I can't

288
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:13,320
remember who it was, and it's like he should have

289
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,879
gotten a technical foul for first troubles.

290
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:19,799
Speaker 2: See absolutely, and oh, by the way, Zach Edie sucks.

291
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:23,799
He really sucks. He's I mean the big knock on him.

292
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,039
And one of the reasons why he was like National

293
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,960
Player of the Year and then went back to college

294
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,360
is because people weren't high on him because of how

295
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,559
slow footed he is. And that's proven out to be

296
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:35,320
true in the NBA. He could rebound because he's seven

297
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:35,960
feet tall.

298
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: He got like sixteen seventeen rebounds.

299
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he grabs the ball off offensive rebounds and like

300
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,840
no one should ever tell him to do this. He

301
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:45,759
puts the ball on the floor every single time.

302
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Go up with it, big man, take your chances.

303
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,679
Ah should have been Memphis, all right.

304
00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:56,519
Speaker 2: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven

305
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,879
one three two one two five seven ninety.

306
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:02,799
Speaker 1: With I'm Matt. We are here at eleven o'clock right now.

307
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,879
Speaker 2: Great to have you, whether it's at ten twenty one

308
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:10,600
on the Matt Thomas Show with Ross seven one three

309
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:14,679
two one two five seven to nine zero is how

310
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,759
you reach the program. We have a midday game today

311
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:20,320
here on the station Barnell Bloco's gonna take the mound

312
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,200
for the local nine against the Saint Louis Cardinals and Ross.

313
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:27,759
We grew up watching the Astros and Cardinals play all

314
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:29,600
the time. I mean, the Cardinals were a team when

315
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:32,320
I was growing up. It was just you had Ozzie Smith,

316
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:35,519
and you had uh, you know, you had all the

317
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,080
Jack Clark, and you had all these big hitters and

318
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,919
Kenny Let I mean, and they won year after year

319
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,240
after year, and they would always brack about the fresh

320
00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:46,039
beer there and drawing three million.

321
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: They ain't drawn.

322
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: Flies in Saint Louis. It's kind of depressing. Actually, yeah,

323
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:52,919
it look kind of embarrassing. I was a little shocked

324
00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:55,200
to see that, especially early under the season.

325
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they're eight and nine. They've got one of

326
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:00,480
the better offenses so far in baseball, pitching doesn't seem terrible.

327
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:02,840
And nobody's there. I mean, they have like one of

328
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,159
the best hitting teams in baseball and no one's there.

329
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:09,799
What else you're gonna do in Saint Louis. I don't know,

330
00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:13,200
go up the shaky Arch. There's gambling, there's a lot

331
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:14,320
of crime, so I mean.

332
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess, yeah, you can go rob a

333
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:19,000
gambling house. There you go by the way, May I,

334
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,120
may I have one more second here before the phones? Yes,

335
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,080
So I get sick late last week, I have to

336
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,240
miss the two rocket games. I'm pissed off about that,

337
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,320
but you know it is what it is. My daughter

338
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,879
and her girlfriends going into the city to take some

339
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:35,360
pictures and go of a nice dinner. The girl girlfriend's

340
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,279
senior get out at night or whatever. She's a junior,

341
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,720
but she's got her two best friends or seniors. They

342
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,279
go to elean Or Tinsley Park, Ross to take some pictures.

343
00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:47,519
Speaker 1: Okay, love Eleanor Tinsley Park. They're they're twenty minutes. Okay.

344
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:50,919
Speaker 2: They come back and somebody broke into my wife's car,

345
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,240
smashed the back of the window, stole all three of

346
00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:59,240
their overnight bags. They were going down to Galveson after that,

347
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:05,879
and then one of the bags was my daughter one

348
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:08,840
of my daughter's best friends wallet. It had money and

349
00:16:08,879 --> 00:16:11,840
gift cards and you know what do the little little

350
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:14,159
tag things you can identify with your hair tags? Yeah,

351
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,360
air tags. So we they spent three hours of their

352
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,960
Saturday night with the police. They did find the bag tag,

353
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,440
the air tag in a neighborhood right adjacent to Elean

354
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,120
Tinsley Park with about ten other bags. Apparently were multiple

355
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,279
cars that were shattered. Wow, and my wife yesterday went

356
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,679
to go get our window fixing our cars.

357
00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:39,679
Speaker 1: It was six hundred dollars in my life, I'm back

358
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:43,320
on that. So I'm sorry to hear that. Matt. Welcome

359
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,600
to Houston, Texas.

360
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: It's just been a real peachy week around these parts here, if.

361
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, honestly, yeah, when you

362
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:55,120
have bags, it just procedure to me and unfortunate that

363
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,960
it has to be this way when you have bags

364
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,440
in your car in Houston, you gotta like, yeah, you

365
00:16:59,600 --> 00:16:59,879
take it.

366
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: I learned, yeah, but they were gone literally twenty minutes.

367
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,519
Speaker 1: But good things she lended now right and before like

368
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,599
later in life. I don't think she ever wanted to

369
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:10,079
learn ever.

370
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, but you know, you got to think of

371
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,920
the bright side of things right now, you know, So

372
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,119
it could be thirty five.

373
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: Right side was they found the bags. That was That's good?

374
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:23,559
Was everything where it was recovered. Everything was recovered really okay, yep, yeah, yeah,

375
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,559
But because my daughter just had clothes and she sleeps

376
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:29,039
with a little teddy bear at night, and that's that's

377
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:31,160
always in her bag. Her friends had one and the

378
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,079
only bag that had any sort of things missing was

379
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,359
the bag that had the wallet and the air tag

380
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,359
in it. So and that's been lost with all the

381
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,279
credit cards were canceled, blah blah blah blah blah.

382
00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: So but it was just a real.

383
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: Down that my daughter and her friends went for a

384
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,519
little overnight getaway down to Galveston. And as I'm getting

385
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,400
home and I need some TLC for my wife, she's

386
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,039
having us that well, our car just got damaged, so

387
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:54,640
it take my car go down to downtown.

388
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: It was just a long night.

389
00:17:55,799 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: So I love our city, but man, and the city

390
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,680
goes through this, but it just sucked. It just really

391
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,200
really sucked. And apparently they go to this trash can

392
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,400
there's like seven or eight different bags of and everybody

393
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,920
in the neighborhood that live in the apartment cound of

394
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:11,480
like scattering.

395
00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: The police lights went on. It was just wow, not good,

396
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,359
not good, all right.

397
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: So Astros Baseball at eleven o'clock with the on deck show,

398
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:24,599
Rockets will play Game one eight thirty, which ross let's

399
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:26,200
be on it to tell the folks more closer to

400
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,119
like eight forty.

401
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: Five, eight fifty on Sunday night. Yep, we've been through

402
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,279
this before. You mentioned the playoff matchups before even what

403
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,440
happens on the floor. What happened is normally gonna take

404
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,240
place very deep and late into the night. Yep.

405
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: And we'll be there for you. We'll have a game.

406
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,119
I believe Sunday Night will be on KTRH.

407
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,559
Speaker 1: News Radio seven forty kt RH. Yeah, I'll be on

408
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:50,039
it like one am. People screaming at me. Where is

409
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,279
my coast to coast? So if we win, I'm calling you.

410
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,440
If we look, I'm going to turn the radio off.

411
00:18:55,839 --> 00:18:58,160
Have you seen the opening of spread for the game?

412
00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: I have not do im my encourage discouraged, you asked,

413
00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:03,039
I mean, do you you can?

414
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: You want to say the Rockets two point favorites one

415
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,680
and a half. Okay, I was not terrible.

416
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: If there's anybody I trust in motivating, it's Emadoka. I

417
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,759
mean he's probably going well, he doesn't care about Vegas.

418
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:20,920
But point being is he's like, these guys are looking

419
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,720
forward to playing us that I mean, he's.

420
00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:25,599
Speaker 1: He's gonna have him ready. Yeah, they'll be ready. And

421
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,960
then the motivation doesn't even matter as much as preparation.

422
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,039
I really trust you, Meydoka, and have them prepared as

423
00:19:31,079 --> 00:19:34,240
best as as best as you can prepare against a

424
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:36,759
team with the greatest shooter on the planet and Jimmy

425
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:40,079
Butler one of the great physical playoff players who steps

426
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,759
up in big moments, and the reality is be prepared.

427
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the reality is this, if the Rockets will

428
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,000
lose this series, he will not be because of the officiating.

429
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,799
It'll be because Colton State won four times out of

430
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:55,519
a possible seven. Now, will they get some calls, especially

431
00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:58,839
in San Francisco, Yes, but last night was a great

432
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:04,039
example of it. Good officiating cruise will help now. But

433
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,279
it wasn't good for Memphis. They were bad calls. They

434
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:14,079
just went against Golden State. So yeah, I am yeah,

435
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,200
there were. It was not as completely one sided as

436
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:16,680
I thought it was.

437
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,519
Speaker 1: Going to be last night.

438
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: Chris and Jersey Village at ten twenty six on seven

439
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:20,839
Hoey High.

440
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: Chris, Yeah, Hey, Matt.

441
00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:26,279
Speaker 4: First of all, my rule when going into inside the

442
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:28,839
Loop has always taken my wife's car because it's half

443
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,279
as expensive as mine, so if it does get broken into,

444
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,680
you know, it's a little cheaper. Second, of all, welcome back.

445
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,400
Glad you're feeling better. Sound great?

446
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,079
Speaker 1: Uh we're getting there about but thank you very much.

447
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess you don't have a cough button.

448
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,319
Speaker 1: Uh hey listen. Uh that was a joke, man, just joking.

449
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,559
Speaker 4: Hey, you know, I totally agree with you, Matt. I

450
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,920
was having these thoughts the last couple of days. This

451
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,519
Astros team is the most boring baseball team. I mean,

452
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:06,079
what our biggest personality or is I think Dubond Honestly,

453
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,839
I think he's like the biggest character or the most

454
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:09,720
fun to watch.

455
00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, just very boring.

456
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,079
Speaker 4: And on the Rockets, we were talking earlier this year

457
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,000
about picking somebody up before the trade deadline. I just

458
00:21:20,039 --> 00:21:22,200
want to say, I'm glad we have the team we

459
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:25,240
have and I'm looking forward to this playoff series. I'm

460
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,599
glad they didn't pick up Jimmy. It's all about me Buckets.

461
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:32,200
I'm glad that we kept the nucleus together. Let's just

462
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,039
see how far they can go with the team we have.

463
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,440
I'm glad they didn't make any changes, so thanks see Chris.

464
00:21:38,519 --> 00:21:40,039
Speaker 2: And by the way, when I say the team is

465
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,599
kind of boring, I don't care if they're boring.

466
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: I just want them to win.

467
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,039
Speaker 2: I want them to build a streak of some sort.

468
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,240
And that's my point is that you know it has

469
00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:51,680
there have not been the dramatic grands. There was a

470
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,839
Grand Slam, so there was that, But I mean, there

471
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,279
has been very few five run innings. There's been very

472
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:01,480
few amazing five, four or three double plays.

473
00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:02,319
Speaker 1: There has been.

474
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: Three or four while moments. You know, what if this

475
00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:06,599
is what cham have to kind of go through, is

476
00:22:06,599 --> 00:22:09,359
this team is kind of re creating itself.

477
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: Ross, I can live with boring for a while. Yeah.

478
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,319
I mean, there'll be a lot more exciting once they

479
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:21,359
start hitting better. So yeah, right now they're one of

480
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,319
the worst offenses in baseball and they're hanging in.

481
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: It's a very winnable as we thought it would be

482
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:28,640
a very winnable.

483
00:22:28,279 --> 00:22:30,359

00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: How many cow Bell jokes have you heard? Too many? Too?

497
00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:09,359
Too many?

498
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 2: I was just curious because we were talking about yesterday

499
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,440
with Chris Gordy.

500
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: So I was, I was up until yesterday. I was.

501
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,839
Speaker 2: I couldn't get under one hundred and one. I was

502
00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:24,119
at one hundred and two for most of the last

503
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:29,960
three or four days, and so I was mixing uh as,

504
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,039
I like, it's ibuprofen and town all taken five at

505
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:36,079
a time, three of one and two in the other.

506
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,519
Speaker 1: This is what the doctors told me to take.

507
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,759
Speaker 2: So I took that, and I would go to sleep

508
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,160
and I'd wake up and I was like something, It's

509
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,680
like throwing water on me.

510
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: It was crazy, huh. And I'm like, all right, I'm

511
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,039
over this.

512
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: And then two hours later, three hours later, boom, I

513
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:54,279
go take my thermometer, but back up to the hundred

514
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:54,440
and two.

515
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,039
Speaker 1: It aha. I was.

516
00:23:57,079 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: When it comes to being a sick kid, by the way,

517
00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:01,279
just a complete woss uh.

518
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,799
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's true for most of us males.

519
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:07,680
I mean there's memes it's like woman with a cold

520
00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:10,799
and she just like sees at work and drinking some tea,

521
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:12,240
and it's like man with a cold and it's like

522
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,079
he's on his deathbed.

523
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and I look, I try to work

524
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,160
through a lot of it because look, I've got two

525
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:22,519
very stressful job, fun jobs, but they're stressful and and

526
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,359
I want to make sure I'm there for both when

527
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,200
I can. That's why Friday I was gonna I did

528
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,640
the show. You were gone and I had to do it,

529
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,039
and there was no one else to kind of help

530
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:36,640
me out. But yeah, but man, it's just the fever

531
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:39,000
is the crippler. I mean, I can, I can deal

532
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:41,759
with neck pain or shoulder pain or whatever, but man,

533
00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:44,160
that fever hits you, you just don't want to do anything

534
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,119
but talk. And it's funny because we had Emai a

535
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,319
Doak on the show Friddy Ross, and Emay told member

536
00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:52,640
of the Rockets pr staff she was He said, who

537
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,119
did I do the interview with on Friday? On Matt shown?

538
00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:58,240
She said, well, it was Matt. He didn't sound like him.

539
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,119
I'm like, yeah, I know, so I'm sorry, Matt.

540
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you went to Kansas City. How was I know

541
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,519
you went for some family. Yeah.

542
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:06,519
Speaker 2: It was a good city, isn't it. Yeah, it's a

543
00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:08,240
great city. I'd never been.

544
00:25:08,279 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: Okay, I've went there when I was like twelve years old,

545
00:25:10,319 --> 00:25:11,799
so I didn't really get to see the sights and

546
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,200
sounds as much. But yeah, I was the celebration of

547
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,160
life for my wonderful aunt Alma. May she rest, but

548
00:25:18,279 --> 00:25:19,920
it was it was a good time. I mean I

549
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,240
had Gates Barbecue. If you had Gates, yes, excellent. Oh,

550
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:26,839
Gates Barbecue was very good. I didn't realize that. I

551
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:30,920
guess I should have. How deeply rooted a lot of

552
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,319
the jazz scene and black culture and the history there.

553
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,680
They have the Negro League's Baseball Museum as well. I

554
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,640
thought it was wonderful and the weather was perfect. It

555
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:44,240
was like seventy degrees and sonny every day I was there.

556
00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, people are nice there, there is, yes, first of all,

557
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,599
amazing food.

558
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:50,599
Speaker 1: The nicest drivers I've ever seen in my life.

559
00:25:50,839 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 2: Really nice people, easy to get around, good downtown scene,

560
00:25:56,599 --> 00:25:57,799
a casino, which.

561
00:25:57,599 --> 00:25:59,599
Speaker 1: Is never a bad thing. Yes, I wasn't able to

562
00:25:59,599 --> 00:25:59,920
make it over.

563
00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:04,319
Speaker 2: The team is certainly an event to go to, great

564
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,400
sports town, and I always thought that they were kind

565
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,640
of low key in for an NBA team. I don't

566
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,440
think I'm going to get it, but huge Chiefs when

567
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,279
the Royals are good, Big Royals Town. So yeah, it's

568
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,359
it's a really nice place to go. And I've been

569
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,759
there multiple times for volleyball and I time you get

570
00:26:20,839 --> 00:26:21,359
up there.

571
00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:23,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there was a volleyball thing going on

572
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,759
when I was there. There was a lot of volleyball

573
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,880
people and tall there's a lot of tall girls hanging out.

574
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: Okay, now I don't want to give away too many companies,

575
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:38,839
but when you told me about the volleyball convention being

576
00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:41,799
there or whatever tournament, I did ask you if you

577
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,880
sent reconnaissance down there to see it, what.

578
00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: The scene was like? Uh huh. I mean I popped

579
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,680
into the hotel bar for a moment and there were

580
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,799
a lot of volleyball moms there. If that's what you're getting.

581
00:26:51,599 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: At, I know, But I wasn't worried about you. I

582
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,880
was worried about the member of No.

583
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,319
Speaker 1: Nothing, nothing happened. Man, Why are you asking this? You

584
00:26:57,799 --> 00:26:59,359
want to see how he did. I mean, good to

585
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,720
see your back and good Matt.

586
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:03,599
Speaker 2: It's a catcher release pond up there again in Kansas City,

587
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:04,599
follyball moms.

588
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about that, Matt. I know you done.

589
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 2: I'm asking about your your our friend of the friends.

590
00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: It was. Kansas City was a lovely town, multiple good breweries.

591
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,680
I didn't get to make it to the Jazz Museum,

592
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,359
but I want to go there. They have a money

593
00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:25,759
like a US mintor money museum as well. Yeah, I

594
00:27:25,759 --> 00:27:27,079
need to go back to Kansas City. It was great.

595
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 2: And some of the bars day open to three or four.

596
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,440
They have like they have like Grandfather in the liquor

597
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,480
license from god knows when the early nineteen hundreds or something.

598
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,519
Some of them can still serve liquor untill very late

599
00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:37,119
in the evening.

600
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, that's why it passed for early end

601
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,599
of the morning, I should say.

602
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: All right, So I watched, as you did, a lot

603
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,200
of that Memphis Golden State game. There was a five

604
00:27:46,279 --> 00:27:50,599
count that was called late in the game, and I

605
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,400
had the initial same reaction.

606
00:27:52,079 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: That you did, of what are we doing here? Why

607
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,480
are we calling a five count?

608
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five in a playoff in a playing

609
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:00,319
game this fleet.

610
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,079
Speaker 1: It's called the Rodney Terry Special. By the way. OOO,

611
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:06,000
sorry about that, but you've got you got Shaw Miller.

612
00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:06,599
You're happy now.

613
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: I got a stupid question, why does the five count exist?

614
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: Or why is it? It feel like it's kind of short?

615
00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:16,680
Like when they wrote this rule, were people just taking

616
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,000
forever to in mound the ball? No, I think you

617
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:21,440
just can't get there forever. You can't get there. I

618
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,799
mean there has to be some sort of limit, and

619
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,480
sometimes I guess five just feel a little short. So

620
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,319
I went back just to see.

621
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: I watched it probably five times this morning, just to

622
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,240
see if it was a quick one.

623
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: It was five clearly five seconds. Some people I saw

624
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,079
timed it on Twitter and it was closer to six. Yeah,

625
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:45,440
I mean it was. There was even a little bit

626
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,559
of a you know, get rid of it, get rid

627
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:48,759
of it.

628
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: I gotta call it. Yeah, there was. It was a

629
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,079
legit accurate call. And the two minute report is going

630
00:28:55,119 --> 00:28:56,480
to come out tonight and it's gonna or it's going

631
00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:00,519
to verify that other things I may have to verify,

632
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:04,200
but that the five second count was the correct call. Yes,

633
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,599
it was and I couldn't believe it happened in the NBA.

634
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,000
And you can't do that in high school.

635
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: You can't at this level drop something to get somebody

636
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,920
open for at some point.

637
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: Pray is that of Golden State's defense just remains ridiculously good.

638
00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: Well, the interim coach didn't have time to install the

639
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,519
inbounds plays. I guess did you see his hair by

640
00:29:23,519 --> 00:29:26,400
the way, Yeah, what's wrong with it? It's perfectly like

641
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,440
it's layered. It's got a part to it. I mean, yeah,

642
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,200
he's finished. Is that what the finished hair has? Yeah,

643
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,920
that's how the Finns roll, Matt Man, I've had some

644
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:43,079
Finnish heritage in me. Oh my god. Google said, when

645
00:29:43,079 --> 00:29:44,920
I put in Memphis Grizzlies head coach, it's still his

646
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:50,519
Taylor Jenkins. Uh uh, come on, Google, How about Denver's

647
00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:53,359
gonna have a new coach too in the playoffs? Crazy?

648
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,720
How about Phoenix firing their coach one year?

649
00:29:57,759 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: That's a third third straight one year and out?

650
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: Uh?

651
00:30:01,559 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: No, I think money Metals was there for a few years.

652
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:05,319
Speaker 1: That's true. I know it's there, but I mean, but

653
00:30:05,359 --> 00:30:06,880
then it was yeah, but then it was Vogel for

654
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,240
one year. Yeah, three coaches in three years, is correct? Yes, yeah,

655
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:18,559
such is their problems is like see where I'm doing here,

656
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:22,319
and we're doing just fine the Rockets. The timing was

657
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,000
just right to get im Adoka because he was going

658
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:27,519
to be very heavily sought after. I'm glad he landed

659
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:29,359

Speaker 1: Way, if you mean.

774
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,559
Speaker 2: And we talked about this very briefly on Friday when

775
00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:10,360
you were gone. The kid that's the Tennessee quarterbacks now

776
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:16,000
looking for a place to play, Nico Yami Lev Nico

777
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,760
not gonna play here anymore. So he was getting two

778
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,400
point four to play at Tennessee.

779
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,039
Speaker 1: He wanted four.

780
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:28,599
Speaker 2: Tennessee told him to shut this mess up, and now

781
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,239
they're saying he might get a.

782
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:32,039
Speaker 1: Milli after all.

783
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't it hilarious like this, this is just wild

784
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,360
where we are. He's asking for a salary raise, he quits, well,

785
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,519
Tennessee tells him to shut their mob mess up. And

786
00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:45,000
now the reports are like everyone's are waiting for the

787
00:36:45,039 --> 00:36:45,639
sale price.

788
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: Everyone's waiting for him on discount. They're like, well, as

789
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,159
soon as he will lower his terms to one million dollars,

790
00:36:51,199 --> 00:36:54,000
he may end up at another college. This is this

791
00:36:54,079 --> 00:36:57,760
is great, This is hilarious. It is And.

792
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 2: Everybody's trying to play the blame game on this, blaming

793
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:04,119
the dad, blaming the kid, blaming the school, blaming the

794
00:37:04,199 --> 00:37:08,039
NC double A well, right, let's let's let's regulate it.

795
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:10,440
Let's figure out a way to just say you can't

796
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,800
do this and binding contract. I don't know, forget about

797
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,320
the amateur aspect of it.

798
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: But if you if I's gonna put their hands up

799
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:20,639
in the air, we're gonna see.

800
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 2: More of this and it's gonna be a risk that

801
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,360
these athletes are gonna take, just like professional athletes take.

802
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: As a risk.

803
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes you you take a chance on yourself and you

804
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,760
win or you lose.

805
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: And it sounds like hammanamahamma is gonna lose, Nico. I see.

806
00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:41,119
Speaker 2: I applaud you for trying to imagine if I was

807
00:37:41,119 --> 00:37:41,840
trying to call the play.

808
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:44,519
Speaker 1: Play for that. You get it down. You're if you're

809
00:37:44,519 --> 00:37:48,079
a true professional man. That is true, that's true. Ross.

Speaker 2: I was working on my pregame script before the show,

824
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:21,320
and I was in one of these little side studios.

825
00:38:21,559 --> 00:38:25,119
I sneezed accidentally all over the keyboard. I had to

826
00:38:25,159 --> 00:38:27,800
go get a Clorox wipe. I know, Johnathan, I know

827
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,920
you're making a face. I'm embarrassed. I'm not happy about it.

828
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,360
It doesn't feel good. I had to like, oh god,

829
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,679
I get it. Luckily, we have Clorox wipes up here

830
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,760
because we wipe up. We have a lot of shared space,

831
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,119
so I wiping.

832
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,039
Speaker 1: That bad boy down. Man, it was so bad.

833
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,039
Speaker 2: All right, we got a full show tomorrow'ing a good

834
00:38:44,039 --> 00:38:46,639
time tomorrow. Thanks, Okay, So everybody Astros Baseball next,
