1
00:00:01,159 --> 00:00:11,519
Speaker 1: Is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross one nah Town,

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:12,880
Good Morning.

3
00:00:13,439 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 2: It's a Joey Loper Feto Friday of abut Thomas Show

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:24,160
and Ross. That's his sports Talk seven ninety so. Yes, folks,

5
00:00:24,559 --> 00:00:28,160
Ross got hard, then it got softened. One one three, two,

6
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:29,440
one two five.

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:34,759
Speaker 3: All Ross.

8
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: There was a cloud over the city of Houston for

9
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:45,320
a year plus the Rockets, excuse me, the Astros needed

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,840
to make a move to get some starting pitching, and

11
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,200
they said goodbye to one of their all time goats.

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,920
When you think of the greats of astrohistory, you think

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,960
of a Bagwell, you think of a Bigio. You think

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,400
of a Ryan A Scott, A Wagner, Jose Al Tube,

15
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:12,519
clearly Jacob Myers, Jake Myers. But there was something missing

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,920
rass in that whole mix. My friend and his name

17
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,200
was Joey Loperffito. A cloud has been lifted, the man

18
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,239
that caused a firestorm.

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,599
Speaker 4: When he was traded away. Yes, Stana Brown is an idiot.

20
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:33,400
He's the worst general manager in his driver. Joey Lo

21
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,879
Baffedo is back. Maybe let's go.

22
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,719
Speaker 2: He is back. He is nationwide. He is uh, we're celebrating.

23
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,519
In fact, what do we do all day today. We're

24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,000
just going to celebrate Joey being an astra all day

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,359
long run. I think it's four hour low Berfito coverage. Well,

26
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,439
frankly it should be instead of calling it to the

27
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,079
Torol district. If you the lowe fo district, that's how

28
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Pipelar is. Yes, he's the best, He's amazing. I'm gonna

29
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:11,199
say this, franchise, I got news for you. What if

30
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,360
you decided to jump ships and end the Jake Myers

31
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,080
fan club, your lower praffrido club may be a little

32
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,479
bit bigger. I'm not gonna jump shit, but I mean,

33
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:23,840
could this not signal that maybe Jakey's on his way

34
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:31,080
out along with Yeah, I mean, first of all, let's

35
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:33,759
let's put this down in order here in terms of priority.

36
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,879
Dana just shipped a bunch of money to the Toronto

37
00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:40,759
Blue Jays. I mean low Praffito makes what pennies and

38
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,159
the dollar compared to what hat sus Sanchez made League

39
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:46,400
minimum seven million, So that would be it would make sense.

40
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:49,039
It is the precursor, too likely an estock paradus move.

41
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,120
And who knows about Jake Myers? Are they ready for

42
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,159
Joey litt Prafido to be every day starter. I don't

43
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:00,159
think so. I don't think so. I think this is

44
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:02,719
a fourth outfield move. But again, this is a money

45
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:06,159
saving move as probably a precursor to another move, is what.

46
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:08,840
That's just what the vibe I'm getting. Yeah, that's what

47
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:10,879
I do as well. All right, So again hay Sue Sanchez.

48
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,560
And by the way, the Astros, I give the Astros credit.

49
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,360
You get won it bad as an Astro, you get

50
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,919
a tribute tweet. They thanked Haysus Sanchez. They did for

51
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,159
what for his handful of games that he was relevant

52
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:25,840
for the worst platoon splits in history. I mean they

53
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:28,680
didn't think it for his rot running. They didn't thinking

54
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,120
for his lack of clutch hitting. I mean, he had

55
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,439
that great first week. Remember when he was He hit

56
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,039
like a home run in his first game, right, I

57
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,039
don't heard that he hit like a couple home runs

58
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,159
or something like that in his first week, and we're like,

59
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:43,400
oh my god, Hasius Sanchez has arrived. That's right. Well,

60
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:46,199
here's the thing. All of our problems are solved. Do

61
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:48,759
you do it? Hayesue Sanchez tribute video. When the Blue

62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,919
Jays come to town, oh it's maybe. I mean, you

63
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,719
gotta keep that video department busy. I guess yeah. I'll

64
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,840
tell you what, if you ever want buddies in sports

65
00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:04,319
and you want to like have the inside knowledge on stuff,

66
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:08,520
get involved with people's with teams video departments, because they

67
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,319
set this stuff up weeks in advance. They're like, hey,

68
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,000
this may be coming down the pike here that there

69
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,680
may be a trade. We need to get something ready

70
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,720
to go, because they don't just organically go, hey we

71
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,439
just heard a Joey Litt Braffito is coming back, or

72
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,920
Hezu Chantons is leaving. Can you can you draw something?

73
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:27,319
Can you whip them up real quick? It's not like

74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,879
a scrambled eamelet. It's this thing was put together weeks ago,

75
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,160
not necessarily the tweet, but I mean they get stuff

76
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:37,839
in advance, so in case it is a big move,

77
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,920
they can certainly have it ready to go on their

78
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,160
social platforms almost immediately after the trades happened. So that's

79
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,800
a little that's a little hint if you ever want

80
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,800
to know who the Rockets are looking for, or for

81
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,920
that matter, Texans or Astros and free agency budding up

82
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,759
member of the video department because They're like, here's what

83
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,439
you could look like as Houston astro or man, imagine

84
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:02,399
playing forty one home games at the Tota Center and

85
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:04,720
hearing the people scream your name. I mean, that's that's

86
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:07,680
happened quite a bit over the years. I'm sure you

87
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,399
could find a Chris Bosh in a Rocket uniform video

88
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,920
back when the Darryl Mory days. Don't you get they

89
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,120
put it on the iPad. Yeah, that's back when iPads

90
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,959
were cool. Like Darryl Morry gave Chris Bosh and iPad.

91
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,959
This is amazing, by the way, sancha iPad right now. No,

92
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,079
I have an Amazon fire tablet that I sometimes use

93
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,240
for reading. When there's like a book I want to

94
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,959
buy and it's like twenty bucks and then it's six

95
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,240
dollars on the pad. I buy it on the pad. Okay,

96
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,279
so you reckon on? Oh yeah no, But I like

97
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:40,319
the physical reading though. If it's I like the book

98
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,360
in my hand. But anyways, Sanchez did not hit a

99
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,439
home run in his first game. It was a six

100
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:50,360
game hitting streak that he went on basically when he

101
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:54,480
got here. And did we try to retire his number?

102
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,959
Do we have any air checks of us talking. I

103
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,759
don't think so, because then it was bad. It was

104
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,839
real bad. Yeah, all right, this isn't anything goes Friday ROSSI,

105
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,480
but it's really a low Perfito Friday. Right, it is

106
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:09,959
a low Perfido Friday. It sounds good, does it not. Yes?

107
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:17,399
I can't believe that Dana Brown fleeced the Toronto Blue Jays.

108
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,839
They gave him up for Jesus Sanchez. Low Perfito is

109
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:23,519
the greatest outfielder in Astros history. And all it costs

110
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:27,720
you was Hazeu Sanchez. Amazing that that's it. And you

111
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,240
save money too. Okay, So now you have to help

112
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000
me out a little bit, because I do believe you're good.

113
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,199
You got good acumen on this. This is a precursor.

114
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,279
I want you to explain what you think the precursor is.

115
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,560
I think it's a money saving move so that they

116
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,279
can take on more money when it comes to whatever

117
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,839
whatever's coming. I think something's happening where they're going to

118
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,439
have to take on some salary and they want to

119
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,439
stay under the tax Because Dana Brown said this morning,

120
00:06:58,439 --> 00:06:59,920
as a matter of fact, down in West Paul Beach,

121
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,399
we'll get anop date from Gordy coming up at the

122
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:03,079
bottom of the hour, he says we're not done yet.

123
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:09,360
He literally said his words, we are not done. So yes, yeah,

124
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:11,759
I don't exactly have the crystal ball out calling this

125
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,040
a precursor move. Well, I didn't want to. I wanted

126
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,439
to give you a little bit of shine before I

127
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:19,519
said that. But I know, I mean, well I thought

128
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:22,800
that before I saw those comments. But that's okay. Yeah,

129
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:25,279
when you shave money, that means you're probably trying to

130
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:28,800
allocate that money towards something else. Of course, so that

131
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:32,399
sounds like to me, ross that if Peretti's is moved,

132
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
that we're going to get somebody. That's going to be

133
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:39,199
somebody that's recognizable. Now, I don't think the Astros are

134
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:41,879
hitting the fact they're not moving Estak predits for prospects.

135
00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:43,959
They're moving somebody in too. Get in here right away,

136
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:46,279
and I'm going to presume be a starter for this team,

137
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:50,240
whatever that may be. Yeah, obviously the outfield, the reality

138
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,000
is this, you are now trying to gain arms and

139
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:56,600
bodies and bats for the outfield because you must be

140
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,240
You are obviously bullish on Zach Cole. You did move

141
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:02,639
Jacob Melton. You may not be super bullish still on

142
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:04,839
Jake Myers. I mean low Perfito can play all three

143
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:10,000
outfield positions. Ah, I Like, I'm not saying these are

144
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:13,120
moves that are gonna necessarily take this team from say

145
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,399
an eighty eight win prospect to one hundred and four.

146
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,560
But I love intrigue around this time of year. I

147
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,879
think it's fascinating to me. Yeah, I mean this is

148
00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:26,120
I mean, this late in the game for multiple trades

149
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,480
being made, seems pretty late. Well, I think we're seeing

150
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,320
a trend. I mean we've seen the free agent signings

151
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,840
signing later than later. I mean, remember back in the day,

152
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:38,799
you'd always when the first day of free agency would

153
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,159
come out, And it happens still in the NBA, but

154
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,559
doesn't happen so much in Major League Baseball. There are guys,

155
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,360
I mean usually at the winter meetings. It got done

156
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,960
within days or during the winter meetings. And now we've seen,

157
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,679
you know, Kyle Tucker sign late, Alex Bregman sign late

158
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,720
from Barvaldez just signed a week ago, Justin Verlander signed

159
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,559
a couple of days ago. And I'm just using a

160
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,279
few examples, but it just feels like to me that

161
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,440
the free agent calendar has moved way past the turn

162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,120
of the of the calendar year. Yeah, there's there's a

163
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:07,960
couple calendars, and probably a lot of that has to

164
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,600
do with Scott Boris, but just guys waiting and waiting

165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,600
and waiting. Yeah. Is Scott Boris have anything to do

166
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,440
with Joey lit Barfito, I don't know. I don't think so,

167
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:26,080
because we were looking for the Boris puns. Well that's true. Yeah,

168
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,440
we're gonna have to figure out which clients are his

169
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:30,120
and maybe like maybe send him a few to help

170
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:31,559
him out along the way, because I mean, he's got

171
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,840
a gonna be up there in age and can you

172
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:34,360
think about all this stuff again? I wonder if he's

173
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,240
got a if he has a pun writer in his

174
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,840
offices and he can afford everything else. I mean, they're

175
00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:41,919
pretty weak. He needs a new writer. They're they're not

176
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:44,159
good at all, not good at all. All right, it

177
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,320
is and anything goes. Freddy ross At seven one three

I do the show. And so they said they're going shopping.

184
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,600
So while I'm trying to earn money for the Thomas family,

185
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,960
they're going to spend it right away. So I'm saying, Ross,

186
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,399
you had a pretty good life path. You're used to that.

187
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,519
I unfortunately I am on the show. We'll have Gordy

188
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,240
coming up at ten thirty. We have I'm sorry, he's

189
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,960

00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:27,120
I'm sure? I mean, can you go back in the archives.

193
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,360
You don't want to do a joy life? He strikes

194
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,279
out a lot. I believe it. I mean, yeah, he's

195
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,519
on the cover of MLB. The show according to Astros fans.

196
00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:41,240
Not well, that's actually believe it according to Astros fans. Yeah,

197
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,080
the low Perfedo truthers are back, aren't they? Good for them?

198
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,279
I guess if they have crushed Dana Brown for a

199
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,960
year plus, we imagine how good this out feel big?

200
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,399
And then we'd go look at the numbers. Well, he's

201
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,799
killing it for Buffalo and Triple A, although he didn't

202
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:55,799
have a bad what a bad last two months? Correct?

203
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 5: Yeah?

204
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,159
Speaker 2: I think he was. Yeah, and then he I think

205
00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:00,360
he was left off the World Series, right, not the Yeah,

206
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,720
the roster, wasn't he? Yeah, there was some punchment on

207
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,000
that roster. Yeah, yeah, I can't remember. All right, It's

208
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,360
and anything goes Friday seven one three two one two

209
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,840
five seven Nini seven one three two one two five

210
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,960
Sevani A lot about the Astros and again we'll check

211
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,639
in with Gordy. Also, the NBA hand out a handed

212
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,679
out a massive fine yesterday to one of its teams.

213
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,480
Will explain what they did, and a lot of other

214
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:25,639
things going on. Plus Ross, we are taking your ideas

215
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,960
for the Toro district of more restaurants we need. Have

216
00:11:29,039 --> 00:11:31,600
you been able to catch up on your Bridgeland geography

217
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,519
since the big announcement that uh uh cal McNair is

218
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:39,960
excited to bring. Oh my god, I kept watching the

219
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:43,399
video over and over again. Is my impressions that off?

220
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,200
Is it? It's God? I want to rip you for

221
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,759
it because it sounds so forrest gumpy, but it's not

222
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,840
far off and it's so what is it? What is

223
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,919
the opposite of organic? Inorganic? Is that right? Sure? What inorganic? Yeah? Yeah,

224
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,720
It's it's like he's literally reading off a tele prompt.

225
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:09,320
There's no emotion, there's no extemporaneous style. He he's just

226
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,399
an awful public speaker. And even his rehearse stuff sounds

227
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,679
like it's just like somebody else wrote it for him

228
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,200
and he's having to You know how when you read

229
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,080
a teleprom when people read teleprompters, the smart ones, the

230
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,279
Polish ones can read it and it's in a conversational form,

231
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,759
it's like he you see his eyes move from left

232
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,879
to right and then down the line left. I mean,

233
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,320
you know what, Look, it's the right decision. It just is.

234
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,200
Bridgeland's an area that's growing and he'll be doing just fine.

235
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:37,840
And my guess is, now that I've had a chance

236
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:39,519
to think about it, that stadium is gonna go out there.

237
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,039
They're they're gonna love Tooral District and they're gonna make

238
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:43,720
it the Toroal Dome or whatever they're gonna hell, they're

239
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,759
gonna call it seven one, three, two, one two, five, seven, nine,

240
00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:52,720
eights and anything goes Friday here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

241
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,440
I ain't Matt and Ross with her here. Good morning, Houston. Well,

242
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,080
thank you very much for being a part of our

243
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,399
show today. Three two one two five. Sevanai the man

244
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,600
that made the move today, Dana Brown sending Hayesus Sanchez

245
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,200
to Toronto. Joey Low Borfito is back. Here's Dana on lope.

246
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,559
He's ready to return. He's fired him.

247
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,799
Speaker 6: He's uh, you know, it was very tough when he

248
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:19,039
left here last time. Uh well, when we traded him,

249
00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:23,279
and so very emotional for him. As I said, you know,

250
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,480
we know all about the makeup and how special his

251
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,720
makeup is. But to get a guy like this that's

252
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:32,919
trending in the rank direction with five years control made

253
00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:34,000
it more appilling.

254
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: And save money because I gotta do something else. He's like,

255
00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:43,120
did you did you see did you see the contracts? Guys?

256
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:51,600
Come on, he's twenty six, so he's not a spring chicken.

257
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: No, what do you mean?

258
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,279
Speaker 2: No, he's the he's in, he's the prize young prospect. Matt.

259
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,279
I think he's a player. I don't think put the

260
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:07,799
it's funny you put prospect in and automatically means like

261
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:10,200
that guy's gonna be a future star. Now hopefully he is.

262
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:16,120
He will be twenty seven in May. He had ninety

263
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,759
six had bats for the Blue Jays last year, ninety

264
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,720
six game. I have a quick question, that's it. Can

265
00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:25,759
I find the Space Cowboys win total somewhere? I want

266
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:29,399
to slam that over. The Space Cowboys might not lose

267
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:34,080
the game. Well, how about this, they could. They could

268
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,279
have four twenty game winners. They're coming after the seventy Orioles.

269
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,559
Well whatever that Wola and anybody Juliola and anybody else

270
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,240
that is not going to make the rhyme. Jason Alexander

271
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:51,759
might be there. Jason Alexander's be carving him up down there.

272
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,360
You know, Lancer Kellers Junior might get a start there

273
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,440
or two. I got one for you. How many no

274
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:01,960
hitters will aj Blueball throw? Dude, they're gonna be stacked

275
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,200
in triple A. Wait, you know what what did you

276
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,360
What did you mouth low per Fido and Space Cowboys

277
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,039
in the same conversation. That's not nice. I'm just I'm

278
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,480
asking a question. You're asking for a friend, I understand, Yeah,

279
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,960
for a friend. Can I get the Space Cowboys win

280
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,639
total over somewhere? What book?

281
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:20,759
Speaker 1: All?

282
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:20,919
Speaker 2: Right?

283
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: Here?

284
00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:23,759
Speaker 2: Is a shady book from Sri Lanka. Do I gotta

285
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:26,759
find to get that posted? You know what, if you

286
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:29,879
can find a space cowboy prop, we'll actually give him

287
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:31,159
a sponsor plug. Is that fair?

288
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 5: Okay?

289
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,679
Speaker 2: We don't normally don't do that. Here's Joe's spot at

290
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:37,720
Lope Frito's return.

291
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,559
Speaker 7: Obviously, when Joey came up in twenty four, we, you know,

292
00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:44,039
super excited about what this kid kid can do on

293
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,480
the baseball field and what its likes to me more

294
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:51,159
is that he's trending in the right direction offensively. He

295
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:55,320
makes some changes last year where strikeout rate went down

296
00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:58,639
ten percent, hitting the balls hard, he's staying in the

297
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,320
zone and and it's a pretty dynamic defender too, can

298
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,639
play some center feel immediately think about that play that

299
00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:08,600
he made a Minnesota against the wall. It was a

300
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:11,279
huge play at the time. So he brings a lot

301
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,039
of good things to the table. So we excited to

302
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:13,480
have him back.

303
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, Ross Now that I'm taking

304
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:19,000
what you just said a minute ago and thinking about

305
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,080
a bet. Yes, we're gonna. We're gonna. People love our

306
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:25,279
bets and I don't know why, but it's just funny.

307
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:34,080
We're going to bet Chips and Caeso. Okay, okay, okay,

308
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:39,840
you get either side. Does low Berfido not injury related

309
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:44,679
take a plate appearance and in a bet it's literally

310
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,559
a plate appearance for the Space Cowboys in twenty twenty six.

311
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:54,159
Either side of yours for Chips and Caso. Hmm, now

312
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,840
right now, I would say no, but if they trade

313
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,200
for an outfielder, it is possible. Let me think I'd

314
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,120
have to put let me let me uh, I need

315
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,359
a second. Don't give an answer right now. Okay, you're ready,

316
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:11,359
I understand, and get the Astros roster up. I mean,

317
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,839
he's gotta be out Zach Cole and if Jake Myris

318
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,079
is he's left handed, bats left handed right, and so

319
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,400
does Zach Cole. Yes, he throws right, bats left? Yes,

320
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,799
what throws right? Bats left? Yeah, that's rare, but it

321
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,039
seems like it's been happening a lot on the Astros lately. Oh,

322
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,279
let me think of the outfield depth. Okay, Sanchez is gone,

323
00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:39,079
but that's a swap. We're doing this live on there.

324
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,160
They just well, let's give me to the next break.

325
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,319
Probably my initial inclination is yes, you mean, oh so

326
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,359
you you again? There's no odds on this either way.

327
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,359
Either you either he plays for a spaces and again

328
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,759
if he's going on an injury or assignment, that doesn't count.

329
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,359
But a strict send down. But like I said, Dana

330
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,240
Brown said, he's not done, so I still think whatever. Yeah,

331
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,960
that's what I'm saying. He trades for an outfielder or

332
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:07,799
even two, which I don't think is gonna have. I

333
00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:10,240
think I think one outfielder is coming. It just feels

334
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,640
and that's a good field. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not trying

335
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,039
to talk to you anither way. That's why I feels

336
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,279
either way you can have it. Chips and Queso, oh

337
00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:22,480
you Gotnzo too, Hey you got a Zenzo and Loo

338
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,440
we get the Italian legends. Let me tell you that

339
00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:29,200
is a great it's the let's go to uh, let's

340
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:36,039
see z and L's Italian bestro. Yeah it's uh, it's

341
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,160
a lorent Oh man, I think about this Lorenzo and

342
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,880
just call it Zenzos. That sounds like a good Italian

343
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,000
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And then if you want

344
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,640
a like a sub sandwich with Maren Aaron Tippet's a Loperfido.

345
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:53,200
It's the Lowberfiedo special. I like that, and they're gonna

346
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,839
put it in the Toro district. They could. You gotta

347
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,200
drive a long way to get you a Lowperfido. Okay,

348
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,680
Cam Smith, Zach Cole, Jake Myers is still here. I

349
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,559
love this year. Mulling this over. This is awesome. Dezenzo.

350
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,200
Who's better Joey Loperffito? Or is that Dezenzo? I would

351
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:18,359
lean lo Perffito, but again I havenout. We haven't seen

352
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,119
him in a year and a half. Not that we're

353
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,480
spend a lot of time watching blue Jay baseball. Well

354
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:24,400
we were the World Series, but that's not a hero there.

355
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:28,200
Just think about it. Mull it over. I will say,

356
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,119
you know what my lean is, Yes, but give me

357
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,640
a minute, okay. Seven one three two one two five

twenty six. I won't want to run three through some

363
00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:50,799
of the particulars on that with you see what you

364
00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:54,000
think on that and Ross, I'm going to lose a

365
00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:58,000
gut feeling. It appears about the college football playoff, and

366
00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:02,279
as soon as I said it, you told me immediately backtrack,

367
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:06,519
get off of this. I didn't, So I'm going to

368
00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:09,480
take a loss. We'll discuss that. We've got the NBA

369
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:13,400
Big fine to get to and of course Joey is

370
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:16,960
back ten eight Sports Talk seven ninety. Let's spend a

371
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,440
few minutes with our buddy Chris Gordy. He is in

372
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:23,839
Florida and we will inherit the coverage beginning Monday from

373
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,240
West Palm Beach Ross and I will be there Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

374
00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:29,319
Right now, Gordy is there and he is courtesy of

375
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,279
Willy's Ice House. Chris, tell me how the day win?

376
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,960
Did you get to the stadium and go, oh, by

377
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,720
the way, there's a trade. How did the whole thing

378
00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:39,759
go in terms of Kenneth in the dots here that

379
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:41,960
Joey little Burfito's now wearing Astro gear again.

380
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we we did the normal clubhouse thing.

381
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:48,839
I interviewed some of the guys this morning and we

382
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,000
were wait outside for Joe Spotta to do is normally scheduled,

383
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:57,440
you know, press uh, you know availability, and here comes

384
00:20:57,519 --> 00:21:01,319
Dana Brown walking up that we're like what Indus with

385
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,400
the Astros communication team says, hey, guys, data, Brown has

386
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,640
an announcement he wants to make, and we'll go whoa, Okay,

387
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,680
something went down. And when he says we made a trade,

388
00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:13,839
we're all thinking immediately, oh he thought Paratus they moved him.

389
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,599
And when he says we've traded Hazu Sanchez, he went, oh, okay,

390
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,559
well what's this going to be.

391
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,519
Speaker 5: And when he.

392
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 8: Said Joey low Persido, I think everybody's side was going

393
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:25,680
out like wow, okay, yeah, an interesting move.

394
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:29,039
Speaker 5: I mean, I think maybe speaks to the lack of

395
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,480
you know, depth in the.

396
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 8: Outfield as far as you know, guys with a ton

397
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,720
of experience. So we know how high they were on

398
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:41,440
him before. Obviously he was a fan favorite, almost probably

399
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,480
too much. I know Ross used to you know, put

400
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,240
pop fund at some of the fans that acted like

401
00:21:46,319 --> 00:21:48,279
he was the next coming of Mickey Mantle.

402
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 5: But it's good to have him back in the system.

403
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 8: And obviously, in the small sample size he played last year,

404
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,160
I think about sixty sixty games, his average was good.

405
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,839
I mean, the numbers look good, so he'll be a

406
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,799
welcome edition now. Am I automatically penciling him into the

407
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:06,000
everyday lineup? Is he gonna be in the opening day

408
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,279
lineup for opening Day?

409
00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 5: I don't know.

410
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,799
Speaker 8: He's gonna have to go earn that. But you know,

411
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,680
Jake Myers, I just saw him a few minutes ago.

412
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,200
He's here in camp, and obviously, as long as Jake

413
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,519
Myers is on this team, he's the everyday center fielder.

414
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this. We've talked about this almost from

415
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,920
the jump, and I'm sure you guys assume the same thing.

416
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,640
This is just part one of and even Dana alluded

417
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,240
to it, not loaded to it. He said it, We're

418
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:31,799
not done yet. This feels like this was a satary

419
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,000
dump for sure to open up some space. So if

420
00:22:36,039 --> 00:22:38,559
I'm an Essac Paradis fan, I wouldn't be going to

421
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:40,440
buy a twenty twenty six jersey with his name on

422
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,039
the back of it.

423
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,599
Speaker 8: Correct, And Dana said, I mean, he said we're not

424
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,920
done yet multiple times, and he said it again when

425
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,759
he walked off.

426
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,799
Speaker 5: From the media session. We're not done.

427
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 8: Okay, we get it. I mean, you might as well

428
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,240
put it in bright lights on the marquee.

429
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 5: You get you're not done.

430
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 8: So yeah, and it seems like, look, Monday's the day

431
00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:02,039
we're all the position players are supposed to report. Well,

432
00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:04,480
let's not make this awkward. If you're trading, he'sack paradus,

433
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:07,880
let's get that done before Monday before it makes it awkward.

434
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,680
And he's got to go, you know, go to his

435
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,480
locker and clean it out and all that kind of stuff.

436
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:13,680
So I would expect, yeah, they're going to move him,

437
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,119
Now what will you get? I mean, I think you

438
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,279
feel pretty good about all the arms you have here,

439
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:21,319
so you know, are you just dumping him for some

440
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,559
minor league pieces? I still think backup Catcher and I

441
00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:27,680
almost say platoon Catcher is still a need here. Nothing

442
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,160
against his ar salas are, but I just don't I

443
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,119
don't know if you want to rely on him to play.

444
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,039
You know, almost fifty percent of the games with jan

445
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,720
or Diez. We know jan Ar Diaz last year and

446
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:41,039
his production slipping that, you know, you'd like to maybe

447
00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:42,759
get him off his feet a little bit more. So,

448
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,079
I don't know it'll be interesting, but I would still

449
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:49,079
say Catcher is still a need, and if there's another

450
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:52,160
piece to be had, whether it's another outfielder or something

451
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,839
like that, I think they'll make that move.

452
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: Hey, Ross, I think Gordier brings us a good point.

453
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:58,319
When we get down to Florida on Monday, do you

454
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,599
think Pradies will be in gear even if he's not

455
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,759
officially traded by then? Think about that for a minute.

456
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:08,440
I mean, you do want to end some awkwardness, but

457
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,119
he does need to get ready for the season, no

458
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,240
matter who's playing for. I'm gonna gut feeling that he's

459
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,119
going to be gone by then, because it feels like

460
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,119
something imminently is happening with this first move, right.

461
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,759
Speaker 8: I think when you guys hit the air on Monday

462
00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:29,599
at ten am, it needs to be Parades update.

463
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: We're a parade is watch by the way, boys, We

464
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,519
will have a new update next week, debut here on

465
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:40,960
the Matt Thomas Joward Ross. I haven't even told you

466
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:43,200
Ross what it is, and Gordy doesn't know you, Okay,

467
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:45,880
but I'm gonna save it for next week. I'm going

468
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,720
to give you a massive hint right now, Gordy, were

469
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,480
you shooting video of Josh Hader throwing a baseball today?

470
00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 5: Oh? No, I was, Yes, he looked. He looked good.

471
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 8: Still they call it playing catch, but he's actually throwing,

472
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,319
So I don't know why you playing catch. I'm more

473
00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:03,400
concerned with when he throws the ball as opposed to

474
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,720
when he catches it. But but yeah, I mean all

475
00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:09,039
flat ground, still not you know, high velocity. But I

476
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:11,920
mean he's out there for a while throwing, so concern

477
00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:14,400
level for him, I'd put it at too right now.

478
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,240
I think he's gonna be fine. He's just a little

479
00:25:16,279 --> 00:25:16,680
bit behind.

480
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: Sketch you say, two meaning two on a scale of

481
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,200
one to ten for the start of the season, or

482
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,319
two as in I don't think this is gonna be

483
00:25:24,319 --> 00:25:25,920
something that's gonna be lingering all season long.

484
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, the latter. But I mean, look, if he if

485
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,559
the season starts in two weeks in he gets in there,

486
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,920
we will even remember that he didn't start the season.

487
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,279
I mean, you know, I think they can survive a

488
00:25:38,319 --> 00:25:39,160
couple of weeks.

489
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: Without him, all right, Chris Gordy with us down in

490
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,079
West Palm Beach. Jeremy payneis book today too. What was

491
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,519
he up to?

492
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean just you know, Jeremy's not the most

493
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,680
talkative guy, but talked about just you know, his off

494
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,400
season and getting ready and obviously one of the big storylines.

495
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,799
He got engaged and his fiance is is an athlete

496
00:25:57,799 --> 00:25:59,319
as well, and he said he went to some of

497
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:02,079
her soccer game games and was just a fan sitting

498
00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:04,079
in the stands, eating a hot dog, yelling at the

499
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,359
at the reps or umpires whatever. So yeah, so it

500
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,200
was kind of fun to hear that that side of him.

501
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,400
But looks in great shape. I mean, look, it's it's

502
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,000
the thing we always said when we get down here.

503
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,480
But I mean, Jeremy Penny is always in great shape.

504
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,920
Says he still wants to be in that lead off spot.

505
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:22,039
You know, obviously it's Joe spot his decision. But he's played.

506
00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:25,119
He played extremely well there in that leadoff spot last year,

507
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,240
so I'd expect more of the same.

508
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 2: I maybe it wasn't the time or the place so

509
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,359
I could fully understand it. Was there any talk of

510
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:33,240
and this may be more of a question for Dana,

511
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,519
any thought of Jeremy visiting with the folks about extensions

512
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,079
during the off season. Was that even brought up in conversation.

513
00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 8: No, there's been no extension talk on anybody so far.

514
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,359
He did bring up that a year ago, he brought

515
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,599
up to them that he wanted to play in the

516
00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:50,680
World Baseball Classic and said that was something really important

517
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,720
to him, so obviously that you know he's going to

518
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:54,200
go do that.

519
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 5: But but yeah.

520
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,799
Speaker 8: I mean, it's the it's the elephant in the room,

521
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,599
Hunter Brown, Jeremy Panya, I mean, a lot of these guys.

522
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,559
It just seems like, man, you'd love to start talking

523
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:07,880
long term extension with any of those guys that are pillars,

524
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,400
because the Astros have said goodbye to so many of

525
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,759
their pillars in recent years.

526
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 2: It's Finnie Ross. I don't think the Askers are hiding

527
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,480
the fact that they don't want their players playing in

528
00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:21,160
the World Baseball Classic and their even Bad Bunny was

529
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,720
ready to pay the insurance on it, and I think so.

530
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,839
I think Bad Bunny wanted to see Jeremy wear in

531
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,680
the Puerto Rico gear well, they said it was an

532
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,559
insurance issue, So I don't know. I said, yeah, I mean,

533
00:27:31,599 --> 00:27:34,160
I think I think that Bad Bunny was like, I've

534
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,640
made some I'm doing okay money wise. I think I've

535
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,720
had any bad money billion downloads. Yeah, he's doing quite well.

536
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,720
When you beat Taylor Swift and songs listened on Spotify,

537
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,720
I think you're doing okay. Yeah, so all right, what

538
00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:48,160
else going on for I let you roll.

539
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,319
Speaker 5: Uh just got to see Lance mccullor's throw aside today

540
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:52,680
and he looks good.

541
00:27:52,759 --> 00:27:55,319
Speaker 8: I mean, you know this, this might be the first

542
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,119
spring in a while that Lance mccullor's is healthy and

543
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,079
ready to go for the start of spring training. And

544
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:02,680
I know people roll their eyes when you say his name.

545
00:28:02,519 --> 00:28:03,559
Speaker 5: But he looks good.

546
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 8: He was throwing well the signature, you know, signature of lansmacullors.

547
00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:11,079
You know, look when he throws, throws the baseball, throw

548
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,240
it hard. So uh, I'm I'm encouraged. I know he's

549
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,880
got a chip on his shoulder and he wants to

550
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:18,839
wants to get out there and prove everybody wrong. Another one,

551
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,799
Nate Pearson, we got the sea throw today. That was

552
00:28:20,839 --> 00:28:23,720
one of the off season acquisitions that you had an

553
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,519
elbow clean.

554
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 5: Up a couple of weeks ago. But he was thrown

555
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:27,559
and thrown pretty hard.

556
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 8: And you know, the other thing it's so cool to

557
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,480
see guys too, is I was standing next to Tetsuya

558
00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:35,400
and ma as he watched him, and Maya is really

559
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,599
just like he's putting himself in around every player, trying

560
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:41,000
to get to know everybody. And obviously there's a language

561
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:44,759
barrier there, but his his uh translator is with him.

562
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,319
Aj Blue Ball was trying to, you know, asking him, Hey, what.

563
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 5: Does this mean? You know, how do I say this

564
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:51,640
in Japanese? So it's just kind of cool.

565
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,119
Speaker 8: It's the first kind of you know, real, real big

566
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,000
international signing the Asters have had in quite some time,

567
00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:58,599
and so it's just kind of cool to see that

568
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,440
a guy like.

569
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: That, who's very down to earth, very.

570
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,319
Speaker 8: Humble, kind of assimilate himself in with the rest of

571
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:03,640
the group.

572
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,119
Speaker 2: Does he have a four media contingent with him too?

573
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:08,839
Speaker 5: Oh?

574
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, he has got I mean it's I may

575
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,119
actually ask the dozen or so Japanese medium out to

576
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,680
follow you around when you get here, to make you

577
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,359
so more important because everywhere he goes, I mean he's

578
00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:19,720
going to the.

579
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 5: Bathroom, they're like, oh, oh, get your camera, gets your camera.

580
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,359
Speaker 8: They're running and following him around. So it's pretty fun

581
00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:24,839
that you watch.

582
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you do that with SEC players, that's something

583
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,440
out of the norm.

584
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 8: I think I only did that with Nick Saban. Oh

585
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,240
he's going to the bathroom, he's good, get up, get up,

586
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:34,640

go and steal their m and ms in the kitchen.

641
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,960
Maybe that's the reason why we don't get to go

642
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,240

00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:32,839
including a massive NBA. Fine, the Texans receive some good news.

656
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,559
They're not a part of something ross that every other

657
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,079
team in the NFL is. I'm not talking about Super

658
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:44,759
Bowl Sunday. Hmmm, okay, so keep on that. But all right.

659
00:32:46,359 --> 00:32:49,039
I was always a proponent of if you were going

660
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:52,039
to expand the CFP to sixteen teams. At sixteen this

661
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,640
sounds like a good number. Twenty four sounds ridiculous, and

662
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,720
I said as much. But apparently there is a story

663
00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:04,359
this morning on ESPN. There is incredible interest and it

664
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:10,519
sounds like more acceptance to a twenty four team format.

665
00:33:12,759 --> 00:33:15,720
Go ahead, now, No, I mean, look on its face,

666
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:18,200
I told you I agree with you in principle. Thank

667
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,960
you at least, but thank you. I said, I will

668
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:25,440
never My words were that I will never underestimate the

669
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:31,599
greed of these colleges and these presidents and these athletic directors,

670
00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:35,920
and more games equals more money. And the FCS playoffs

671
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,319
didn't well that. What was really opening for me is

672
00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:40,519
when we looked at the I think the SCS playoffs

673
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:44,559
are twenty four right or at least twenty they're twenty

674
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,839
or twenty four or something like that. So once, I mean,

675
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,000
if it's these nonprofit teams that aren't even making money,

676
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,079
of course they're going to do it when it's when

677
00:33:53,119 --> 00:33:55,920
it's where they are. Can't they can make money because

678
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,119
because the argument of ohs they need to stay in

679
00:33:58,119 --> 00:33:59,440
school goes out the window. And we went out the

680
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,440
window a loong time time ago. But I mean, it's

681
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:05,960
just it's all about the money. And as I said,

682
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,280
I never underestimate the greed of any of these and

683
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,880
that's that's bad. I think it was for basketball, baseball, football.

684
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,920
It's just everything is more and more and more and

685
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,000
more and more, and that's the way of the world.

686
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:17,440
And I understand that, and I under it. It works

687
00:34:17,519 --> 00:34:19,679
even like that in sports where it's all about the

688
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,000
money and the players will get their share of this too.

689
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,760
I mean, I'm sure there's a component for that. Yeah,

690
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,480
better more than they used to, which is great. Yep.

691
00:34:28,039 --> 00:34:30,400
Let me give you the component of this. Twenty four

692
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:36,760
teams will comprise the twenty three best teams in the

693
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:43,320
country and one spot with a group of six. Okay,

694
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:48,760
so the only only guarantee in the group is it

695
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,039
will be among the twenty four There'll be one group

696
00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:55,880
of six. Okay, no automatic qualifiers, by the way, so

697
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,119
let's just straight up who's the best. I like, I've

698
00:34:58,119 --> 00:35:03,039
been arguing for that for a long time. Okay, top

699
00:35:03,159 --> 00:35:08,360
eight teams get buys. There would then be eight first

700
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,199
round games on campus, and then an extra week of

701
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,199
home games, with eight second round games played on campus.

702
00:35:15,199 --> 00:35:18,039
Remember we were talking about campus, so you get two

703
00:35:18,079 --> 00:35:19,880
rounds of on campus. You gotta be on board with that.

704
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:21,639
I'm not opposed to that.

705
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 9: No.

706
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 2: Again, more more games on campus, the better, uh huh.

707
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,599
Then you would then go from there. The quarterfinals would

708
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:32,519
fall on New Year's even New Year's Day at Bull Sites.

709
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,559
The semifinal games would be the following week at Bull Sites.

710
00:35:37,039 --> 00:35:39,400
There would be a mid January title game at a

711
00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:44,599
neutral site. The preference in this twenty fourteen model is

712
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,239
that there would be no regular season rematches would be

713
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,840
permitted in the first round, but games between the league

714
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,400
foes could be played if they didn't play in the

715
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:59,440
regular season. All right, so it seems a little it

716
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,840
seems like a you could play them. It seems like

717
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:03,639
a good idea. But I think you can get rid

718
00:36:03,639 --> 00:36:07,440
of that unless they literally just I don't know, I

719
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,440
don't have a problem the rematches. Yeah, so let's say

720
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,760
that this twenty four team team format was in play

721
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,039
this past year. Here's yeah, they have you got the bracket. Okay,

722
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,920
seven SEC teams will be in it. Hey, you have

723
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:26,639
AH six, Big ten, five Big twelve, which would include Houston,

724
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,880
three ACC Notre Dame, and two Group of six, which

725
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:40,440
obviously would have been what James Madison and Tulane tu Lane. Baby. Now,

726
00:36:40,519 --> 00:36:42,320
the big thing they have to figure out is they

727
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,880
got a wig of themselves around the NFL, because ross

728
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,360
is as awesome as these playoff games sound. You put

729
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,239
the Chargers against the Panthers on opposite a playoff game,

730
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,280
and the Chargers Panthers regular season game is going to

731
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,280
be the playoff game. It's just pro football just is

732
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,360
number one over everything. So they're gonna have to really

733
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,039
sit and think about this calendar and try to put

734
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:07,199
it around days where I mean there could be some

735
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,000
Wednesday games. My guess right, what because you know Fridays

736
00:37:11,039 --> 00:37:14,079
and Saturdays you probably are occupied by pro football games.

737
00:37:14,119 --> 00:37:16,679
I mean, the NFL is gonna expand their games and

738
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,800
they're gonna ad a package of games, right, I think

739
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,960
to some extent, especially there's so many first round games,

740
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,960
they're just gonna have to go a little head to

741
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,480
head because look, I mean, five million people watching USC Arizona,

742
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,599
which would have been a matchup instead of zero million,

743
00:37:31,679 --> 00:37:34,400
is more eyeballs, it's more sponsorships, is more money. I

744
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,199
think you're gonna have to bite the bullet a little bit, right.

745
00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:38,800
I don't think you can't have playing every Wednesday, and

746
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,920
they are like puddle jumping around all the puddles of

747
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,800
the NFL. They did that this year, But it feels

748
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,559
like when you add this mini games, it's gonna be impossible.

749
00:37:48,039 --> 00:37:50,679
There is one college football game that kind of gets

750
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:57,239
its own marquee, and maybe it's for the right reasons

751
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,719
because it's one of those things that tugs at your heartstrings.

752
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,480
But they're gonna play the same weekend as Army Navy.

753
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:04,519
Army Navy is going to be kicked to the curb.

754
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,440
What if they're in I don't know how what if

755
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,280
the people feel about that. What if they're in it,

756
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,599
that's gonna make things more confusing. Maybe they're gon have

757
00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:13,559
to move Army Amy. Maybe they will maybe move Army

758
00:38:13,599 --> 00:38:17,400
Amy to week zero. Honestly, Oh, it's supposed to be

759
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,719
a winner. I know, August twenty first in Baltimore seems now,

760
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,599
But I give them an auto bid and whichever team

761
00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:27,320
wins is in the next round. I'm just kidding, that's

762
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,400
what you want to do now, Because we're America, all right,

763
00:38:30,599 --> 00:38:33,719
we've got to honor our serviceman, Matt, excuse me, air

764
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,880
forces raising their hand with it. What about us? Yeah,

765
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,000

Sorry's ROSSI coming up in a half an hour, And

772
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:52,960
I feel like this segment of I'm Sorry should be

just called the Ross segment because it's just there's a

774
00:38:55,039 --> 00:38:56,440
lot of things over the course of the week that

775
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,599
I shake my head at. What I'm dismayed, I'm disappointed.

776
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,719
I don't eve remember what I need to be sorry about.

777
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,280
I'm gonna start writing it down Jonathan. That's'm gonna added

778
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,519
that something to your plate. Everybody wants something rude. Write

it down so he can apologize for it. Okay, you

00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,039
know I can do that. Hey why Hey, why is

781
00:39:13,079 --> 00:39:15,920
he so eager about that? No one gets sure. I'm

782

791
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,960
an emotional guy. I mean look, I cried daily myself.

00:41:00,159 --> 00:41:01,840
like two years in the Morning show. Not on a

810
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:10,119
rat beat. This is high tempo. Come on, this is

816
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:40,199
making catches at the wall. Robin Hart's stealing your souling

817
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,920
and missing at baseballs. Enough from you?

818
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,159
Speaker 5: What?

819
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no what optimism. He's got a

820
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,639
high WIF percentage. I didn't make that up. Check the numbers.

821
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,239
Don't get mad at me, get mad at him for

822
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:58,280
whiffing and everything. Give him. He's a more mature player. Now, okay,

823
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,320
on the phones, we go. That's why he was just

824
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:07,519
traded for Jesus Sanchez again. Shout out to the Astro

825
00:42:07,559 --> 00:42:10,239
of social media department. They said, thank you, Hajesus for

826
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:17,400
your two months. Appreciate you. Jesus gone but not forgotten.

827
00:42:18,039 --> 00:42:22,599
Astro's a legend. Who else got goodbyes for two months? Brandon?

828
00:42:22,639 --> 00:42:26,000
What's his face at second base? Brendan Rodgers. Brendan Rodgers,

829
00:42:26,199 --> 00:42:31,039
Brandon Rodgers. Yeah, poor guy. Didn't he fracture his orbital

830
00:42:31,079 --> 00:42:33,719
bone or something and running into somebody in the minor leagues.

831
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:35,960
He was trying to come back. He was talking about

832
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:38,159
how the ball went on his head. I thought, right, no,

833
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:47,360
bauld and leno his head. He's not Charlie Brown. Come on, man,

834
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:55,119
he is a Major leaguers, a Gold Glover, Matt he

835
00:42:55,199 --> 00:42:57,239
I think he ran into somebody running after a ball

836
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,960
or something like that. You got like a scale of

837
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:01,199
or get a farewell tweet?

838
00:43:01,199 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 5: Two.

839
00:43:02,039 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 2: Wait he's gone, Yeah, I think he did. Actually, yeah,

840
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,840
he's thirty. Caleb Ord's thirty four years old. Jesus, I

841
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,719
like Caleb Ard. He was a hoss. You can come

842
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,559
out there throwing ninety nine miles an hour. Now sometimes

843
00:43:16,559 --> 00:43:19,119
he can get shelled, but it was still fun. Yeah,

844
00:43:19,159 --> 00:43:23,719
he was claimed U in January by the Los Angeles Angels. Yeah,

845
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,559
I knew that. Now I knew. I knew he got

846
00:43:26,599 --> 00:43:28,920

Florida stories. Somebody brought up next week. Oh that's next week. Yeah,

859
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,239
we're gonna be in Florida when we're in the state.

860
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,199
That's exactly right. Stunner on seven out of Good Morning Center.

861
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 9: What's up, Matt and what's up wrong?

862
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 5: How y'all doing today?

863
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 2: Amazing.

864
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 11: Well that's good.

865
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 9: Well, hey man, I was telling them about the college

866
00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:28,760
at the college lineup from the playoffs or they gonna

867
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,880
have it designated for who can actually make what section

868
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:39,360
because last year didn't nobody know about that. I guess

869
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,199
that that small school getting in were the two small

870
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,880
schools getting in, even though they had pretty good recres.

871
00:44:47,159 --> 00:44:51,000
But it was kind of a I think a blind

872
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,320
a blind sided hit for some of the big schools,

873
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,239
especially Texas.

874
00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 2: You know, I can't comprehend what you just said.

875
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 12: I'm saying that Texas.

876
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 9: Or some of the Notre Dame kind of got blindsided

877
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,760
with the actual automatic bids for the smaller.

878
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,199
Speaker 2: Schools, which God again in this in this new run,

879
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,599
if they go to twenty four teams, if what's being

880
00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:24,480
proposed is going to happen, there will be no automatic.

881
00:45:24,559 --> 00:45:27,079
It'll be the twenty three best teams and the only

882
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:29,679
automatic will be one group of sixteen will be guaranteed in.

883
00:45:31,159 --> 00:45:34,159
Speaker 9: Right right, Because when they came up with that final

884
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,599
thing and said, hey, you got two smaller schools going in,

885
00:45:37,679 --> 00:45:41,000
I text us out there, so there was no way

886
00:45:41,079 --> 00:45:42,039
they was going to get in.

887
00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 5: And one other thing, Hey.

888
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 9: Man, I got a thing to tell you, Yo, when

889
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,679
your daughter graduated at dyking park Man, you're gonna have

890
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:58,400
to worry about that frigging parking man because they charged

891
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,320
us at and like out there out the tail bowl.

892
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,079
Speaker 2: Man, you almost set out the ass, didn't you. Didn't you? Stunny,

893
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:06,559
you almost set out the ass, didn't you.

894
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 12: Hey, I had to pull it back in.

895
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 2: I understand. Thank you, Hey, Sonna, thank you for the

896
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:14,840
good word, my man. I have a good weekend. I

897
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,920
appreciate you listening. I'm going to be staying at a

898
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,920
hotel that night because we got to be there super early,

899
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,320
so I don't know if the parking at the hotel

900
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,519
will be any cheaper, but my guess is it won't.

901
00:46:26,199 --> 00:46:27,880
Y know, it is what it is. I mean, it's

902
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,159
my daughter's graduatetions. I'm gonna worry about forty dollars parking. Oh,

903
00:46:32,519 --> 00:46:37,039
you guys are getting got I want I want to

904
00:46:37,159 --> 00:46:39,599
Parking is gonna be like in the Toro District. I

905
00:46:39,639 --> 00:46:42,119
still like Toro Town better. I just like it better name,

906
00:46:42,159 --> 00:46:46,280
but I want to be respectful. Uh, parking is probably

907
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:50,360
going to be scarce and expensive. That's all these town centers.

908
00:46:50,639 --> 00:46:52,679
That's not all of them. That's that's not fair. It

909
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,519
was free parking garages and a lot of them Welcome to

910
00:46:56,679 --> 00:46:59,960
the Toro District and park and oh you could have

911
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,280
you could have like the valet section, which would be

912
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,159
the Hanna McNair section, and then you can be in

913
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,880
the very top level, which is cal Cal hangs out

914
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:09,840
and puts his big trucks and stuff. M yeah, but

915
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,400
can you even get up in the garage with your

916
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,400
lifted truck? I don't know. It could be an issue.

917
00:47:16,639 --> 00:47:19,880
Been running into issues. Yeah, he was getting more damage

918
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,639
to our vehicles at our that the office is at our.

919
00:47:23,199 --> 00:47:25,559
I think he had to write some sternly worded letters

920
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:28,599
to the garage folks. Did he really and you have

921
00:47:28,639 --> 00:47:29,960
copies of this? No, I think he got it in.

922
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,320
I don't want to put his business out there. So

923
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,760
he can't go up the garage, so he has to

924
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,039
park in the basement, which is visitors. But then they're like,

925
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,440
you can't punking visitors if you're an employee. It's for

926
00:47:40,599 --> 00:47:44,000
visitors only. But there's like fifty spots and only three

927
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,760
of them are used, so it's like, shut your moss up.

928
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:49,400
Let me tell you something. Our security at our at

929
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,239
our building. Oh my god, they're mean people. Are you

930
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:57,000
talking about that short guy? He's got Napoleon first of all?

931
00:47:57,039 --> 00:47:59,119
A lot of times like the security guards. I love y'all,

932
00:47:59,199 --> 00:48:01,840
but they're security who got Napoleon syndrome, and they're like,

933
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,960
you know, like referees or umpires, like you want some

934
00:48:04,039 --> 00:48:07,000
authority and you want to exercise that authority, or some

935
00:48:07,039 --> 00:48:10,400
police officers. And so yeah, this guy is like acting

936
00:48:10,519 --> 00:48:14,719
like he were like he's a super CIA spy watching

937
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,679
me park in the visitors because because the regular parking

938
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,360
is is walled off and I can't get up there,

939
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,480
and he's out there getting his NO pad like he's

940
00:48:25,519 --> 00:48:28,119
CIA intelligence. And then I got an email. I mean,

941
00:48:28,159 --> 00:48:31,440
you've been parking in the visitors. You can't. First, there's

942
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,960
seventy five spots in there, and they're all there there

943
00:48:34,119 --> 00:48:36,920
in their seventy of them are vacant. I can't park

944
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,400
in the visitors when there's literal cones in the regular garage,

945
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,760
and I can't go to the visitors. Shut your bomb

946
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,519
messes up? Love it. My favorite is and they say

947
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:49,559

948
00:48:49,639 --> 00:48:52,320
thank you because they want me to respond with they

949
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,719
want you to sign in. Look, they're security guards. They

950
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,920
want safety and all that type of stuff. That's great.

951
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,559
They're on a power trip. Sorry, they just are well

952
00:48:59,599 --> 00:49:02,280
some of them, yes, not everyone. Most of them are

953
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,480
mostly very cordial and nice. James. I like the late

00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:17,199

Speaker 11: Uh.

964
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,199
Speaker 13: You said you wanted to give Jonathan some more responsibility

965
00:49:26,199 --> 00:49:29,000
and further his career. Why don't you have a segment

966
00:49:29,039 --> 00:49:32,960
that just called The g Man with Jonathan Allen and

967
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:37,360
every week he comes on Tuesdays or whatever week. You

968
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,960
can give them five minutes and nothing. He talks about

969
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,480
nothing but the gamblers. That way, you don't want to

970
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:42,480
talk about the gamblers.

971
00:49:43,599 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven

972
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,039

977
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,960
This is a story later, It's just a story. It

978
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,800

980
00:50:20,159 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 2: Sometimes you gotta take the L and you just know

00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,119

994
00:51:06,159 --> 00:51:13,039
organization are very excited about uh Torol District. I like

995
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:15,559
toroal Town better, but like I said, I need to respectful.

996
00:51:15,639 --> 00:51:21,079
So here's where. Uh, you should be very excited also

997
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:26,599
Ross because uh, we have word that Uh the Epstein

998
00:51:26,639 --> 00:51:30,880
Files has a list of people associated with NFL teams.

999
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,639
Did you see this? No, you're not in the files?

1000
00:51:33,639 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 5: Are you?

1001
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 2: I am not in the files? Okay? Good? Apparently eighteen

1002
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,159
different commanders are in the Epstein files. Commanders, players. What

1003
00:51:43,199 --> 00:51:45,920
does this mean? It says this is from Luke Christensen.

1004
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:50,000
NFL teams ranked by number of appearances in the Epstein Files.

1005
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,400
So that's what that means. It could be probably anybody

1006
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,400
could be front office, ownership, could be players. I mean,

1007
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,880
I'm presuming it's everybody. Commanders lead to the group at eighteen.

1008
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:04,559
Niners are second at seventeen, the Patriots are third at fourteen,

1009
00:52:05,039 --> 00:52:08,559
Dolphins are tied with the Jets at thirteen at fourth,

1010
00:52:09,679 --> 00:52:12,639
and the Cowboys are in a three way tie at

1011
00:52:12,639 --> 00:52:18,039
seven with the Broncos and the Bears. Every team in

1012
00:52:18,119 --> 00:52:23,440
the NFL is mentioned in the Epstein Files except for one.

1013
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:30,679
It is your beloved Houston Texans. That's great. You can

1014
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:35,039
say what you want. And also, I mean the well,

1015
00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:40,239
when how long do these files go back? I couldn't

1016
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:47,760
tell you. Okay, now do you sell that on? Hey, everybody,

1017
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,880
we want a new stadium. We weren't in the Epstein

1018
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:53,400
files support us. You put that in the Ring of

1019
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,320
Honor zero Epstein, you do not? Oh my god, could

1020
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,400
you imagine? No, you put your you know what you do?

1021
00:52:59,519 --> 00:53:02,320
You put a band out there? Yea, not mentioned in

1022
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,039
the Epstein files. There's only one team that can put

1023
00:53:04,079 --> 00:53:07,079
that up there, and somebody else can say it. Say, certainly,

1024
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,079
I haven't even remember when everyone made of fun of

1025
00:53:10,119 --> 00:53:13,679
the Colts for putting like the SC Championship game participant banner.

1026
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,320
Texans can't even do that, know, you know what they

1027
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:25,320
can do Epstein non participant. Yeah, kind of a like,

1028
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:28,000
who can we read the Epstein files now? Is it

1029
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:28,239
for me?

1030
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:28,559
Speaker 8: How?

1031
00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 2: Is just they're heavily redacted so we don't even know.

1032
00:53:33,039 --> 00:53:37,480
Necessarily there are mentioned of players of teams, but you

1033
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,920
don't know if it's players or coaches or administrator or

1034
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,800
stuff like that. That's just weird. Does that startle you

1035
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:47,119
that there are somebody sports references in this thing? No,

1036
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:51,960
I was startled. I wouldn't say startled. I'm not surprised, Okay,

1037
00:53:53,199 --> 00:53:55,400
I mean I know there would be politicians. Clearly, there

1038
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:59,280
would be influential business people. There would be celebrities. Yes,

1039
00:54:00,039 --> 00:54:04,320
I guess athletes. He wasn't West Palm Beach wasn't he? H. Yeah,

1040
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,000
that's where, not far from West Palm Beach is where

1041
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,440
the owner of the Patriots was involved with his extra

1042
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,199
cricket activities. Well, yeah, that's a different thing. I don't

1043
00:54:15,199 --> 00:54:17,880
think Epstein was involved in that. But no, no, I'm

1044
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,960
just talking about it. It didn't Epstein have a house in

1045
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,079
West Palm Beach. I don't know enough about it. I

1046
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:24,679
don't want to tell you because I watched it. I

1047
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,079
started to watch the documentary, but it was so bad,

1048
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,280
like the things in the atrocities committed by Jeffrey Epstein,

1049
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,159
horror like. I got so uncomfortable I couldn't finish. I

1050
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,639
had to stop watching it. Yeah, it's it's nothing worth

1051
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,840
making light up. But it's just interesting that there were

1052
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,920
thirty one NFL teams that were mentioned, and that in

1053
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:43,719
itself would would if you had have said, I mean,

1054
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,360
you know, there are thirty one teams mentioned. I've been like,

1055
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,480
come on, what thirty one are these mentions? Like these

1056
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,679
are employees or these are people or players or there's like, hey,

1057
00:54:51,679 --> 00:54:54,679
we're just talking Texans football, because then it's sad if

1058
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,400
they're not mentioned in there at all, or so uh,

1059
00:54:57,639 --> 00:54:59,559
because I think a lot of the emails are just

1060
00:54:59,679 --> 00:55:02,679
regular their daily emails. Right. It could also be, hey,

1061
00:55:03,559 --> 00:55:05,760
we went to a game between the Giants and the

1062
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,519
Eels and that could be mentioned that. You know, yeah,

1063
00:55:07,519 --> 00:55:10,280
I don't know, no mention. All right, are you ready

1064
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:15,519
for another ridiculous thing. Yes, So the NBA is trying

1065
00:55:15,559 --> 00:55:20,760
to crack down on tanking. The Utah Jazz sat healthy

1066
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,440
players that had already played in the game and sat

1067
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,239
them for large chunks of the fourth quarter when they

1068
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,519
would ultimately lose. One time they lost, one time they won,

1069
00:55:29,599 --> 00:55:31,679
and they've done it in a few times. So the

1070
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:36,119
NBA yesterday find the Utah Jazz five hundred thousand dollars

1071
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:40,480
and said, don't you do this. You're putting you're you're

1072
00:55:40,639 --> 00:55:43,960
resting healthy players in the middle of the game when

1073
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,599
you're either leading or competitive. You sat them for the

1074
00:55:46,599 --> 00:55:48,199
fourth quarter because you're trying to tank.

1075
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 5: You know what.

1076
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 2: The Utah Jazz sending back and return Rossie. I'm just

1077
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,519
I'm just speculating, should you bro mess up? No, here's

1078
00:55:56,559 --> 00:56:01,400
a check. Yeah, so go ahead. They're finding them five

1079
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,880
hundred thousand dollars. And then Commissioner Adam Sober said, look,

1080
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,519
if we're gonna come after you again, we're gonna drive,

1081
00:56:06,519 --> 00:56:10,920
We're gonna draft, We're gonna take all your draft picks. Really, yes,

1082
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:12,400
what draft picks?

1083
00:56:12,519 --> 00:56:12,599
Speaker 5: Like?

1084
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: You only get what two? In theory? Maybe he he

1085
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,000
It might be that's so severe that if you if

1086
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:20,960
they continue to have been tanking like this, they may

1087
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,599
take the pick they're trying to tank four. That isn't

1088
00:56:24,599 --> 00:56:28,000
the preposterous thing of it? That seems pretty insane. That

1089
00:56:28,119 --> 00:56:31,519
is insane. What's the insane part is he's trying to

1090
00:56:31,559 --> 00:56:34,079
create Adam and again maybe this is Adam Sober. Just

1091
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,559
you know how you work with any bed in your

1092
00:56:36,599 --> 00:56:39,079
life that just throws bad ideas one at you day

1093
00:56:39,119 --> 00:56:47,400
after day after day. No me either. He's now contemplating,

1094
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,840
at least as being talked about in the NBA circles,

1095
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,679
a let's have an end of season tournament for teams

1096
00:56:53,679 --> 00:56:56,760
that don't make the playoffs, and if you win that,

1097
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:02,360
you get a higher draft pick. That's pretty funny. Do

1098
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:07,360
you know where the illogic Isn't that where so you're

1099
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,719
gonna ask a bunch of guys to play hard for

1100
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,840
you for their replacement. So they're for their replacement. That's

1101
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:20,159
pretty funny. They pay him, just pay him extra game checks.

1102
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,599
And I mean, I would imagine players who are on

1103
00:57:22,639 --> 00:57:24,440
long term contracts are gonna want to play hard. They

1104
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:30,320
want the team to improve. It feels like to me,

1105
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:34,519
Adam silver is and I love the NBA, and look

1106
00:57:34,679 --> 00:57:37,559
his owner, the owners love him because they just he

1107
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:41,920
just signed a ten billion dollar television deal. Yeah, a

1108
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:46,119
bunch of networks that streaming services in streaming service. And

1109
00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:49,559
then Bezos check is nice, Maddie. I mean, it's a crossing.

1110
00:57:49,679 --> 00:57:52,559
It's a great check. So all the other stuff on

1111
00:57:52,599 --> 00:57:55,760
the side, the owners are probably saying, that's just Adam

1112
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,840
being Adam, But it feels like so many of the

1113
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,679
things he's trying just ain't panning out. He keeps trying

1114
00:58:02,679 --> 00:58:05,119
to reinvent the All Star Game, it ain't working out.

1115
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:09,239
The n Season Tournament doesn't have any luster at all

1116
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,320
for except the teams that are actually at the n

1117
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:16,039
Season Tournament. He's trying to create this maybe potential get

1118
00:58:16,039 --> 00:58:18,880
together where the worst teams fight for playoff posit for

1119
00:58:19,639 --> 00:58:24,840
at better draft picks. It just feels like that he's

1120
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,920
the he's is he the badda guy in the room?

1121
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,519
I don't think. I mean the n season tournament. What

1122
00:58:31,559 --> 00:58:34,599
are the returns on that? What does it cost him?

1123
00:58:34,599 --> 00:58:36,840
And what is it? It's I think it's fine. It's

1124
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:40,079
only one extra game, right for most people. No, it's

1125
00:58:40,119 --> 00:58:42,000
for only one extra game for two teams. That's it.

1126
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:44,559
The party are any two games schedule? I'm saying, yeah,

1127
00:58:44,559 --> 00:58:47,800
that's I guess I said that incorrectly looking for he

1128
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,840
was looking for a ten to fifteen percent bump in

1129
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,280
television ratings over games during that time in November, and

1130
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,920
he didn't get that. Yeah, I think there was some

1131
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,360
initial at least interest in the first year, But also

1132
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:01,800
I mean, what is it? What does it cost them?

1133
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:03,960
I mean they're trying to do something because everybody knows

1134
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,920
nobody pays attention to the NBA regular season until after Christmas?

1135
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,760
Right right? And then Yeah, I don't know, just you,

1136
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:13,679
we all we all have people on our on our

1137
00:59:13,719 --> 00:59:15,360
work life that you know, hey, we're gonna have a

1138
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,760
brainstorming session. Oh, Margie's got some good ideas. Oh Greg,

1139
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,239
that's a good idea. And then darnel like this, like,

1140
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,440
oh my god, somebody said, you call it instead of

I want to apologize to those people. And I forty

1180
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:38,480
five heading north bound yesterday. My wife was honking at

1181
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,039
many of you for not driving fast enough. Wow, Okay,

1182
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,679
she doesn't know that she's out shopping, so I apologizing

1183
01:01:44,719 --> 01:01:47,800
and heart it a blast. So I'd like to say,

1184
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,800
I'm sorry for uh, missus Thomas yelling at you to

1185
01:01:51,039 --> 01:01:54,119
drive eighty four miles an hour in the far left LANEO,

1186
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,119
she's speed demon over there. Huh A little bit, little bit,

1187
01:02:00,199 --> 01:02:03,480
I'm sorry for that. Now, speaking of my trip yesterday,

1188
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,320
we normally go to Buck East on the way there,

1189
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,719
and I can say Bucky's a great place. We've clean

1190
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:14,119
his restrooms of seventy five different options for food and

1191
01:02:14,199 --> 01:02:18,440
drink for both beef, jerky, Kulatchi, SODA's icy snacks. I mean,

1192
01:02:18,559 --> 01:02:21,880
you know everybody knows the Bucky spit. Yeah, we decided

1193
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,960
to do something different. We went to Woodies yesterday because

1194
01:02:26,119 --> 01:02:29,599
I was familiar. I as mister Texas likes to branch

1195
01:02:29,639 --> 01:02:32,480
out into different areas. You're not mister Texas. We went

1196
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,159
to Centerville yesterday and went to Woodies and made a

1197
01:02:35,159 --> 01:02:39,239
pit stop there where wood is is delightful. It's as smaller, obviously,

1198
01:02:39,719 --> 01:02:42,760
it's more old fashioned Texas. Like I am mister Texas,

1199
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,519
You're not mister Texas. And had a great experience and

1200
01:02:46,639 --> 01:02:47,880
was like, you know what, I'll go back to Woodies

1201
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,119
a guy. I haven't been to Woodies in years, but

1202
01:02:49,159 --> 01:02:51,280
it was a good experience. And I simply put this

1203
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,079
nice little tweet out and said, hey, we skipped BUCkies

1204
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,679
and I went to Woodies instead and had no regrets.

1205
01:02:58,119 --> 01:03:00,920
Everybody that lives within three hundred miles of me has

1206
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:06,079
tweeted about this. Most of the people don't follow me

1207
01:03:06,119 --> 01:03:08,559
on these but decide to give me their commentary anyway.

1208
01:03:09,119 --> 01:03:14,159
Ross my tweet just as simple tweet as nineteen thousand views.

1209
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:21,320
I told you, Matt, mute this conversation, okay, But what

1210
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,719
I do mind is about halfway in it got political.

1211
01:03:25,199 --> 01:03:29,679
What how in the hell can you make something political

1212
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:35,320
out of between BUCkies and Woodies? Sophy. If you made

1213
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:37,440
it political and you sent me a tweet and you

1214
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:45,159
don't follow me, you owe me an apology. Twitter is

1215
01:03:45,159 --> 01:03:51,159
just an unceasing cesspool. It's ridiculous. I hate it. I'm

1216
01:03:51,199 --> 01:03:54,280
I'm loving Instagram much better. Everybody's more cordial on Instagram.

1217
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,840
Go follow me on Instagram at sports RV. It's terrible.

1218
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,000
I hate Twitter about it, and I mean it's an

1219
01:04:00,039 --> 01:04:04,360
after yesterday because I just want no, no, i'n't do that.

1220
01:04:04,599 --> 01:04:08,320
My point was I maybe should stop even putting anything

1221
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:13,280
in terms of editorial on there at all, like, uh,

1222
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:18,239
what our show is? Maybe retweet some news information. But

1223
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,199
I just said, you know, sometimes people like I like,

1224
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,000
I like to know what's going on in your life.

1225
01:04:23,559 --> 01:04:25,440
Some people like to know what what we're doing with us.

1226
01:04:25,519 --> 01:04:27,440
That's when Twitter started out. It was like head in

1227
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,000
a happy hour with the boys who wants to come?

1228
01:04:30,039 --> 01:04:32,800
Like it was. Twitter used to be this smaller community.

1229
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,840
Everyone was nice. He'd be like, hey, good night, guys,

1230
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,400
talk to you all tomorrow. Like it was so cool.

1231
01:04:38,599 --> 01:04:43,000
At first. I wasn't throwing shade at BUCkies. I was

1232
01:04:43,199 --> 01:04:45,559
not trying to pump boyes. I just said, hey, I

1233
01:04:45,599 --> 01:04:47,880
tried something different. It was good. So if you if

1234
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:50,559
BUCkies is super busy, which sometimes a lot of times, frankly,

1235
01:04:50,719 --> 01:04:54,000
is I liked you made an innocuous tweet about a

1236
01:04:54,039 --> 01:04:55,840
stop you made, a pit stop you made on a

1237
01:04:55,920 --> 01:05:03,639
road trip eighty four eighty four replies Yes, So I

1238
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:07,679
muted about seventy five percent of those people because, uh,

1239
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,719
it was just god. I was, so, why do I

1240
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:16,519
do this to myself? You're right, Instagram is not nearly

1241
01:05:16,559 --> 01:05:18,280
as brutal now I can be brutal too, but not

1242
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,840
nearly as brutal. I just said I went to Woodies,

1243
01:05:21,039 --> 01:05:24,199
and I'm getting the wrath of people saying, well, go

1244
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,840
glad you went to there. It's compared to Bunkies. Or

1245
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,800
when I went to Woodies there were flies in my

1246
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:33,679
in my beef draf like what you did? It all wrong?

1247
01:05:34,119 --> 01:05:40,480
What folks? If you do use the social media, and

1248
01:05:40,519 --> 01:05:42,840
I know people are, I'm losing followers left and right.

1249
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:44,639
It's because not because people don't like me. I mean,

1250
01:05:44,679 --> 01:05:47,360
people aren't fine, but there's a lot of people are

1251
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,119
deactivat in their accounts. They're just like, you know, I

1252
01:05:49,159 --> 01:05:52,679
had enough, and you know what, sometimes there is toxins

1253
01:05:52,679 --> 01:05:55,039
in your life. You'd get rid of those seconds everybody's

1254
01:05:55,039 --> 01:05:59,159
being nice. I don't see anybody being I was gonna

1255
01:05:59,159 --> 01:06:00,719
go like all these people and mean that to you,

1256
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:04,400
but I don't see it. Well, I muted them, so

1257
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:08,039
I don't even know what. I can't see him anymore.

1258
01:06:08,039 --> 01:06:10,960
Speaker 15: There's one guy talking about how the independent truck stops

1259
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,199
are no more because of BUCkies.

1260
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:17,199
Speaker 2: I think that's the Matt's going away from BUCkies. He

1261
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:21,440
should be on Thatt's side. Yeah, I just thought it was.

1262
01:06:23,719 --> 01:06:27,000
I don't know. I just was like, you know, one

1263
01:06:27,079 --> 01:06:30,719
is a Republican place and one is a democratic I

1264
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:35,079
don't I didn't know. I don't know. Everybody's being nice, Matt,

1265
01:06:36,239 --> 01:06:39,960
Are you sure? And I see? Yeah, the turkey jerky

1266
01:06:40,039 --> 01:06:41,760
is worth to stop. What is this fantastic?

1267
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:42,039
Speaker 5: You know what?

1268
01:06:42,079 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 2: You need to apologize for getting all wrong up about this.

1269
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:51,960
Mute the conversation, muted. I'm sorry, you make me, make

1270
01:06:52,039 --> 01:06:57,159
me prove my point here one you have one They

1271
01:06:57,199 --> 01:07:01,320
called you liberal. Yeah, but if that guy's wrong, yeah,

1272
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,159
I just muted that guy. I love, you know what

1273
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,360
I love. I love going into other people's like Chandler Rome. Oh,

1274
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,440
I mute farm out of those bad boys. When I

1275
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,639
read all these idiots and Chandler Rome's mentions, I mute

1276
01:07:12,639 --> 01:07:15,719
farm them. It is so awesome. It's like a collection.

1277
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,559
It's like a trowel for it's like a shrimp boat.

1278
01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:21,079
Instead of picking up shrimp, they're picking up dumb asses

1279
01:07:21,159 --> 01:07:23,920
on Twitter. It's awesome and you can go. You can

1280
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,960
mute like fifteen people and one one reply bat To

1281
01:07:27,079 --> 01:07:33,880
replies it's amazing. I am mister Texas and mister Texas, no,

1282
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,039
you're not wants to support small business in Texas. You're

1283
01:07:37,079 --> 01:07:40,159
not even a fan of brisket stop. I'm gonna give

1284
01:07:40,159 --> 01:07:41,719
me a brisket stuff potato next time I go to

1285
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:43,280
what he is, I already had dinners. I couldn't do it.

1286
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,440
Matter of fact, I had dinner at a great restaurant

1287
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,440
in Centerville owned by some friends of mine, because you

1288
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,079
know what I like to travel throughout the state. You

1289
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,719
fine cuisine, You hate enchiladas. We should vote you out

1290
01:07:51,719 --> 01:07:54,760
of the state. You're kicking me out because I don't

1291
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:58,039
like an I that feels rather rude and doctor Pepper,

1292
01:07:58,079 --> 01:08:07,679
you're gone. You're out. I like root beer. It's it's

1293
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:09,960
easy on the stomach. You're more likely to be voted

1294
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,599
out of the state than be voted mister Texas. Let

1295
01:08:12,599 --> 01:08:15,400
me take something I spent quality money in time in Centerville, Texas.

1296
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:17,079
That I should be like the de facto mayor of

1297
01:08:17,079 --> 01:08:19,760
that town. All right, I'm done, Ross, What are you

1298
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,840
apologizing for? You should be the mayor there because you

1299
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,359
bought some some skittles and a barbecue sandwich. You should

1300
01:08:25,399 --> 01:08:27,159
you should be mayor of the town. Now it was

1301
01:08:27,199 --> 01:08:29,880
a corn meal dusted shrimp. There you go. Thank you

1302
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:37,239

1303
01:08:37,199 --> 01:08:40,279
want to apologize to Joey lit Braffito Stance. You know,

1304
01:08:40,279 --> 01:08:44,279
I've been coming after you on this show, and I've

1305
01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:47,000
been talking about how ridiculous you were when you were

1306
01:08:47,039 --> 01:08:49,760
all crying and falling to your knees because Joey Obrafita

1307
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,560
was traded and calling for Dana Brown's head. Now, you

1308
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,880
were wrong, but you know what, I shouldn't have to

1309
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,680
rub it in your face so much. That's rude. I

1310
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,680
welcome Joey Oprafido with open arms. I hope he hits

1311
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,119
thirty bombs for the Astros, and I don't think it's

1312
01:09:03,119 --> 01:09:06,680
gonna happen, but I'm wishing him the best. And I'm

1313

1376
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:22,840
mister Texas. I've been to Amarillo, what Beaumont, Victoria, Corpus,

1379
01:12:32,399 --> 01:12:35,840
some polking beans. That's why they call me mister Texas.

1382
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:47,199
don't believe that. I'll show it to you right now.

1383
01:12:47,199 --> 01:12:49,000
A matter of fact, I'll go to my comments right now.

1384
01:12:49,039 --> 01:12:51,960

01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,600
a pole question, I will lose. I know how you

01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,119
devian people are. I put up a poll question. I said,

who's the worst candidate? You are Santa Anna? And then

1391
01:13:07,319 --> 01:13:13,760
people voted you. I forgot about that. It was like

1392
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:19,399
Matt Thomas, the Doctor Pepper hater. I'm a sensitive soul.

1393
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:24,319
You don't. You don't own a hat, never stayed in

1394
01:13:24,359 --> 01:13:26,119
any state park or national park.

1395
01:13:27,199 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 5: Yep.

1396
01:13:28,159 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 2: But don't like doctor Pepper, Enchilada's, Tamali's or brisket. But

01:13:50,399 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 2: Please?

1405
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 16: First, I'm sorry, is I walked. I was walking into

1406
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,800
the robber Tree yesterday and I long couple walking out

1407
01:14:00,279 --> 01:14:03,359
holding hands and the girl was walking out with eight

1408
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:08,600
dollars fifty balloons. I'm sorry, ma'am that Rockefeller spurs on.

1409
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,159
Speaker 5: You that day.

1410
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,119
Speaker 16: Maybe that's a baller on a budget.

1411
01:14:15,279 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. So are you? Are you sorry for

1412
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,760
the guy taking his girl to Rollerie? Is that what

1413
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:21,239
you're saying?

1414
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:22,560
Speaker 5: No?

1415
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 16: That she that her president was eight balloons and they

1416
01:14:26,039 --> 01:14:27,359
walked out holding hands.

1417
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you, easy. Valentine's Day is

1418
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:35,840
too expensive. It should be a card, maybe some candy,

1419
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,399
a dinner out, but let's not get to the jewelry card.

1420
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:41,560
I'm sorry. I just wouldn't do it. It's a made

1421
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:42,199
up holiday.

1422
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 16: The second I'm sorry is gonna be to the USA

1423
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:53,119
and Swedish curling team. The last thing I was watching

1424
01:14:53,279 --> 01:15:00,119
was the Stone and the Score, because wow, beauty, and

1425
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:03,640
I love the job the pants are doing. I'm sorry

1426
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:06,520
I didn't watch it for this score.

1427
01:15:07,279 --> 01:15:15,600
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, your warm blooded is what you're trying to say.

1428
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:20,079
Thank you, You should thank you. Easy. Look, we watched

1429
01:15:20,119 --> 01:15:22,800
stuff for what's what they're look what they look like.

1430
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:25,119
We don't necessarily have to see the competition. Do you

1431
01:15:25,159 --> 01:15:27,119
really care who wins in beach volleyball ross when we

1432
01:15:27,159 --> 01:15:27,920
watch it summertime?

1433
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 3: Hm?

1434
01:15:30,399 --> 01:15:30,600
Speaker 5: No.

1435
01:15:31,359 --> 01:15:34,079
Speaker 2: While I'm usually rooting for Brazil, I was gonna say,

1436
01:15:34,119 --> 01:15:36,239
we like Brazil to get a nice long run going,

1437
01:15:36,319 --> 01:15:38,239
but if they don't, we see a couple of matches.

1438
01:15:38,239 --> 01:15:47,359
We're good, Spain, very strong, Sweden's always strong and everything. Yeah, oh,

1439
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,319
we want the Swedes do as well as we do.

1440
01:15:51,279 --> 01:15:53,840
All right, last call for I'm sorry, he's it's seven

1441
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:56,439
one three two one two five seventy. I'm sorry to

1442
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:58,119
the people in the rooms next to us. I'm gonna

1443
01:15:58,119 --> 01:16:00,000
wake the strippers up in about five minutes. I'm always

1444
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:05,680
worry about getting really loud in a hotel. Excuse me,

1445
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:10,359
you're by yourself. Yeah, but the people next to me

1446
01:16:10,399 --> 01:16:13,119
could be, you know, getting ready for their job or

1447
01:16:13,159 --> 01:16:15,119
on a zoom call or something like that. That's the

1448
01:16:15,199 --> 01:16:17,000
last thing they need to do is screaming good morning

1449
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,880
strippers in a in a high end, west end, downtown

1450
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:22,880
Dallas hotel. Right, yeah, but you're gonna do it. You

1451
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:27,119
don't seem to care. That feels like that's actually accurate. Yeah,

1452
01:16:27,279 --> 01:16:28,199
all right? Anything else?

1453
01:16:28,319 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 3: Uh?

1454
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:30,439
Speaker 2: Any else? Do you want to cleanse your palate for ross?

1455
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,920
Because I feel like there's a you haven't done enough. No,

1456
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,239
I don't think I'm good. You made to tell me

1457
01:16:35,279 --> 01:16:38,520
you had nothing to apology. I'm sorry that people truthers

1458
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:40,479
about half an hour ago when they when you, when

1459
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:42,560
they resigned or got traded away. I want to apologize

1460
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:44,159
to our audience that they have to endure you calling

1461
01:16:44,199 --> 01:16:47,800
yourself mister Texas despite you besmirching everything that's great about

1462
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:52,840
our state. I love the state, I love the people

1463
01:16:53,079 --> 01:16:56,880
for the most part, and I love the food. I

1464
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:01,439
do love fajitas. I do love just ribs and smoke,

1465
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:10,159
sausage and beef jerky and beef jerky. I do love colachies. Well,

1466
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,680
but maybe they don't have a Clatchis anywhere. They don't

1467
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:18,720
know what that colachis are. Oh, good point from Ashley.

1468
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:23,000
I forgot you don't like guacam that's I don't like avocado.

1469
01:17:23,039 --> 01:17:29,800
Doesn't mean it doesn't make me not a part of Texas. Okay.

1470
01:17:31,199 --> 01:17:32,800
I don't feel like I'm getting any points with you

1471
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:36,680
on this. You're you're doing great. Maybe you should get

1472
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:43,479
some mister Texas T shirts built. Man, Oh god, I

1473
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:45,680
don't mean to aggravate you. I don't want to. I'm

1474
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,560
gonna take I'm wanna take a walk, take a more

1475
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,039
call like the strippers up. Dave, What are you apologizing for?

1476
01:17:55,319 --> 01:17:55,560
Speaker 4: Dave?

1477
01:17:57,159 --> 01:17:58,359
Speaker 5: Hell? Ahead, this isn't Dave.

1478
01:17:59,159 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 2: What's your name? Dave's not here?

1479
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 17: Man?

1480
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:02,079
Speaker 12: Oh, my name's Kathy.

1481
01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 2: Hi, Dave.

1482
01:18:05,159 --> 01:18:07,039
Speaker 11: Well, I'm good, I'm calling to do it.

1483
01:18:07,079 --> 01:18:07,640
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.

1484
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 2: That's probably twenty years in the making. Well, go ahead.

1485
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:15,039
Speaker 5: Okay.

1486
01:18:15,199 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 11: So I think it is two thousand and five when

1487
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,039
the Astros were in the NLCS against the Cardinals and

1488
01:18:21,079 --> 01:18:21,880
Brad Lidge.

1489
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 2: Was unhittable, yes, and.

1490
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,560
Speaker 11: Watching the game at home, we get into the ninth inning,

1491
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,279
I think we were up by a run or two,

1492
01:18:32,039 --> 01:18:35,359
and I call my brother on the phone to let

1493
01:18:35,399 --> 01:18:37,920
him know that we're going to the World Series, and

1494
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:39,800
he said, what the hell are you doing? And I

1495
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:43,000
looked at the screen to see Albert Pouholz hit.

1496
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 2: A home run that has not yet landed.

1497
01:18:46,159 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 11: And my brother blames me for the last twenty years

1498
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,560
for rooting Brad Lidge's career. So I don't know if

1499
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:56,840
Brad listens, but I'm sorry, Brad, I ruined your Astros career.

1500
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,279
Speaker 2: Apparently, Yeah, he came back and won a World Series

1501
01:18:59,319 --> 01:19:01,239
of the Phillies. Though he's good with the film sounded

1502
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:03,159
you don't take a loss by yourself.

1503
01:19:03,199 --> 01:19:05,039
Speaker 5: He got it back, just not with the Astros.

1504
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:13,159
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Casey. I'm sorry, case It's okay. Do

1505
01:19:13,199 --> 01:19:14,800
you feel like Casey's been carrying that with him for

1506
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:16,600
twenty years? Yeah, I'm glad you go let that off

1507
01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,520
his chest. That's what this segment's all about Yeah, that's

It is about Thomas Show with Ross. Hour three of

1519
01:20:27,319 --> 01:20:31,680
four is underway. It isn't anything goes Friday but Ross.

1520
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:36,840
We've got a major news headline. Oh fire five? Is

1521
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:40,720
it five? Breaking news? Sounders, It's not breaking, but well.

1522
01:20:41,079 --> 01:20:45,800
In the history of the show, Uh, Deshaun being traded

1523
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:52,000
was a fiver? Yes, Uh the second trade. I submitted

1524
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,119
that Verlander, the second trade back from the Mets was

1525
01:20:55,119 --> 01:21:01,119
a four. But we did five. Okay, we would have

1526
01:21:01,119 --> 01:21:03,640
done a five when DeAndre hopkinscott trade. But we need

1527
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:05,960
we needed a breaking news Satdery Tack we did that, well,

1528
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,000
you used to do one, but then we started doing

1529
01:21:09,039 --> 01:21:11,039
it as a joke for stuff that wasn't breaking news.

1530
01:21:11,039 --> 01:21:14,159
So then we had to do a recalibration of the system. Yeah. Yeah,

1531
01:21:15,119 --> 01:21:18,800
that's craz frankly ridiculous system then we used now, but

1532
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:23,079
it's it's ours. It's like it's like our ideas. Yeah,

1533
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,159
and that people use it too. Yeah, they go, how

1534
01:21:26,199 --> 01:21:27,840
many was that? I'm like, that's an ode to us.

1535
01:21:28,399 --> 01:21:31,840
You're welcome. That's I like when people tweet. That's two.

1536
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:38,319
That's exactly right. All right. Time now for the News at.

1537
01:21:38,239 --> 01:21:43,279
Speaker 4: Noon, yesmouth heel the News at noon, headlined by the

1538
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:45,760
Massive News this morning.

1539
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 2: The Toronto Blue Jays trading for Hayesus Sanchez. The Houston

1540
01:21:52,920 --> 01:22:01,680
Astros have the Prodigal Sun returning. Joey lope of twenty

1541
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,800
six years old. It'll be twenty seven on May eleventh.

1542
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:10,760
Split last season between Toronto and Triple A Buffalo, he

1543
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:13,800
hit three thirty three and forty one games the Blue Jays.

1544
01:22:14,159 --> 01:22:21,680
He's back, baby, Joey Loperfudofdo is a Houston Astro. You

1545
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,319
know what I didn't do today? What was your favorite?

1546
01:22:23,359 --> 01:22:25,560
HEYESU Sanchez an astro moment. I gotta send on that

1547
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,760
right now. When he struck out with the bases loaded.

1548
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:30,560
Speaker 5: That's rude.

1549
01:22:32,319 --> 01:22:35,640
Speaker 2: Probably eight seventy nine oh ps for Joey Loperfido last

1550
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:38,800
year in a very very small sample size of forty

1551
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,760
one games. And I was reading a Toronto Blue Jays

1552
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,399
writer saying, there's probably wasn't pathway to playing time with

1553
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:48,159
Joey li Berfdo this year for the Blue Jays, so

1554
01:22:48,239 --> 01:22:50,119
he wasn't even gonna play for them, But hey he's

1555
01:22:50,159 --> 01:22:56,640
here now. Strikeout percentage was down last year, only twenty

1556
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,640
six percent. Well, how many sand what's your sample size?

1557
01:23:00,039 --> 01:23:02,000
We said, what? Ninety six at bats total last year,

1558
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,439
one hundred and four played appearances. Okay, so he'd do

1559
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:10,079
eight walks or maybe sacrifice? Do you never know? Walk? Great? Okay,

1560
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:15,840
it's got some power. He had four home runs. Is

1561
01:23:16,039 --> 01:23:21,279
one hundred and sixty two pace in his career would

1562
01:23:21,279 --> 01:23:23,720
be eleven home runs. They do like one hundred and

1563
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:25,520
sixty two game average, Like what if you make your

1564
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,079
whole career like average to one hundred and sixty two

1565
01:23:28,159 --> 01:23:30,680
games for Joey Librafido, that would be a six eighty

1566
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:35,640
nine ozh ps with eleven home runs. So needless to say,

1567
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:37,520
maybe the Astros are looking to make some more moves,

1568
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:39,720
and I think Dana Brown allttle to do that. This

1569
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:42,720
is a this is a salary saver, because it was

1570
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:44,960
going to be six point eight million dollars for Haesu

1571
01:23:45,039 --> 01:23:47,600
Sanchez this year. It's a league minimum for low Berfito.

1572
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:51,960
Dana Brown said, basically, weird not done. Well, I should

1573
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:53,439
have done this before, Matt. Do you know which one

1574
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,279
of these cuts? He says, We're not done? Oh, here

1575
01:23:55,279 --> 01:23:57,319
he goes. I think. I think here is Dana Brown

1576
01:23:57,359 --> 01:23:59,720
talking about more moves to come, and we're not done yet.

1577
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 6: By this is just one of those moves that we're

1578
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:06,359
locking into as we continue to focus on left hand

1579
01:24:06,399 --> 01:24:09,359
bats in the future disorganization.

1580
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,520
Speaker 2: So we're not done yet, says Dana Brown. I like

1581
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:17,560
the fact that these moves are coming into play, because look, Ross,

1582
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,319
we've spent the entire week, as the pitchers and catchers reported,

1583
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,560
we're still worried as hell about the outfield are right now,

1584
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:27,119
I don't feel significantly more confident than I did, say

1585
01:24:27,119 --> 01:24:30,119
two days ago, fact that, in fact, Hayesu Sanchez has

1586
01:24:30,119 --> 01:24:32,920
a more distinguished Major League career than Joey Liperfito does

1587
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:35,079
say what you will about what you don't like about Hays. Yeah,

1588
01:24:35,079 --> 01:24:39,680
and it's not even close. Yeah. Oh we never I

1589
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:43,880
never finalized. Does Joey lo berfdo get AB's and sugar Land?

1590
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:46,239
Oh yeah, what do you want to do on it?

1591
01:24:46,239 --> 01:24:47,760
You want to make your decision. I think they're gonna

1592
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:51,479
trade for I think they're gonna trade for an outfielder. Okay,

1593
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:56,039
and have this Zenzo low braffdo could stay up the

1594
01:24:56,079 --> 01:24:58,760
whole season, but he's not gonna get a lot of work.

1595
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:03,000
He he does have options. I will say yes, at

1596
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:05,479
some point he gets an A B and with the

1597
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,359
Space Cowboys. And again the rule is it is because

1598
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:13,520
of performance, not because of a rehabitt assignment or something

1599
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:15,399
like that. Yeah, he could even start the season there

1600
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,000
if they trade for somebody. Okay, so we're betting Chips

1601
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,720
and Case on this, but that means I gotta have

1602
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:27,560
a whole dinner though or case after work from where No,

1603
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,880
I know where we can go. There's a place really

1604
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:34,079
really really close close to the bandals. Oh, just to

1605
01:25:34,079 --> 01:25:36,439
give Chips and Case. Yeah yeah yeah ROAs three rows.

1606
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,039
Yeah they got they got a happy Hour too, the

1607
01:25:39,079 --> 01:25:42,159
puffet casos. It's not bad too. I'll even buy you

1608
01:25:42,199 --> 01:25:46,039
a drink. No, no, I'm good. I don't need a drink,

1609
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:48,319
all right, but I'm gonna have water then with lemon.

1610
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,239
Let's continue on. We have a little bit of NBA

1611
01:25:51,279 --> 01:25:52,840
breaking news. By the way, did you see this? I

1612
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:58,279
did not see. Go ahead, hit it. I'm gonna give

1613
01:25:58,319 --> 01:26:03,359
it another one, another one. Yeah, Chris Paul has been

1614
01:26:03,399 --> 01:26:06,840
released by the Toronto rapt Oh but that's not the

1615
01:26:07,039 --> 01:26:11,039
that's not the breaking news part. He's done done. He

1616
01:26:11,079 --> 01:26:13,520
has said he is not coming back. He is not

1617
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,520
going to be a host any Houston Rocket or any

1618
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:17,079
team for that matter. He has done though. Oh so

1619
01:26:17,079 --> 01:26:18,800
we don't have to take any more calls about him

1620
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,680
becoming a Houston Rocket, do we. That is correct? Okay,

1621
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,680
thank god. Look, I love all of you who even

1622
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:26,960
care about the Rockets enough to say they should get

1623
01:26:27,039 --> 01:26:31,960
Chris Paul. But it's he's he's washed. Okay, So with

1624
01:26:32,119 --> 01:26:36,560
that being said, he's believing it today? Uh you could?

1625
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,880
I mean, it's up to you. What's for their candidate

1626
01:26:40,079 --> 01:26:46,159
Joey lit Brafido, Eh, I don't know, but here's so,

1627
01:26:46,199 --> 01:26:48,159
where are we putting. I'm gonna give you a quick

1628
01:26:48,239 --> 01:26:52,079
less of four or five amazing point guards better or worse.

1629
01:26:52,159 --> 01:26:59,600
You're ready, okay, Chris Paul? Oh? God, magic Johnson? Okay magic,

1630
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:08,319
Chris Paul to John Stockton? Who's Stockton?

1631
01:27:09,199 --> 01:27:10,199
Speaker 5: Okay?

1632
01:27:11,119 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 2: Chris Paul to who's a great great point guard? Do

1633
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:19,319
you want me to throw something at you?

1634
01:27:19,399 --> 01:27:19,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1635
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:25,199
Speaker 2: Throw something, Jason Kidd. Chris Paul's better score, better shooter.

1636
01:27:25,399 --> 01:27:31,359
But who's a better player? Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Steve

1637
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:35,359
Nash ooh, no, I go see I go point God? Hey,

1638
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:39,600
fifty ninety okay, so what Steve Nash wins? I believe

1639
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,359
Chris Paul had a fifty forty ninety season?

1640
01:27:41,399 --> 01:27:41,680
Speaker 4: Did he?

1641
01:27:42,159 --> 01:27:42,279
Speaker 12: That?

1642
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:44,279
Speaker 2: Did Steve Nash have multiple? Not fifty?

1643
01:27:44,319 --> 01:27:44,520
Speaker 5: Pol?

1644
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 2: Yes, there's only I think, who the is it? He

1645
01:27:46,840 --> 01:27:48,640
and Kevin Durant the only people to do it ever

1646
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:52,760
multiple times. Yeah, I'm turning other people that we watched.

1647
01:27:55,119 --> 01:27:57,960
Gary Payn's more defensive than offensive. Oh Chris Paul never

1648
01:27:58,039 --> 01:28:01,359
got there, but he was close to fifty four? I okay,

1649
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:06,960
anybody else that come to mind? The guy's been around

1650
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:14,399
a long time. Russell Westbrook, Oh that's a tough one

1651
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:22,800
Russell because of the rebounding, rebounding, I mean, triple double

1652
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:24,960
guy for Isaiah Thomas.

1653
01:28:28,239 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 3: God, Chris Paul.

1654
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:40,800
Speaker 2: What about Bob Coosey, I'm just kidding. How about how

1655
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:46,720
about the Oscar Robinson? K C. Jones? Uh, you have

1656
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:48,399
to go on Robertson? Sure? Why not? I don't know.

1657
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,039
I mean, there's no it's impossible to compare. I'm gonna

1658
01:28:51,079 --> 01:28:53,800
go with I'm gonna go with CP three over Isaiah Thomas.

1659
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:58,600
It's close, okay, Uh Steph Curry. Of course we're putting

1660
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:03,359
above Chris. Yeah, just for shooting, but yeah, playmaking. But

01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:36,640
Speaker 8: Now.

1687
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:45,279
Speaker 2: I remember when you so little. I was a hot

1688
01:30:45,319 --> 01:30:47,920
mess at her. Oh man, I have not gosh. That

1689
01:30:48,039 --> 01:30:50,359

1690
01:30:50,359 --> 01:30:51,039
are you okay?

1691
01:30:52,199 --> 01:30:52,359
Speaker 12: Well?

1692
01:30:52,399 --> 01:30:54,920
Speaker 2: The thing is I didn't when she played her last

1693
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,199
volleyball game for King Wood I was okay when it

1694
01:30:58,279 --> 01:31:01,760
was senior night, was this building up? This is all

1695
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:06,159
building No, you're Last Wednesday when she signed her letter

1696
01:31:06,159 --> 01:31:09,039
of intent to play at Rhode Island, I okay, every

1697
01:31:09,279 --> 01:31:12,000
single thing, every single kid that signed it was crying

1698
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,279
because I was like, this is because it's so much

1699
01:31:14,319 --> 01:31:18,039
hard work for these young people to compete athletically and

1700
01:31:18,079 --> 01:31:20,399
to get an opportunity to extend their careers, whether it

1701
01:31:20,399 --> 01:31:23,479
be at Division one, two, three or junior college. I mean,

1702
01:31:23,039 --> 01:31:25,920
it does take time and effort in support not only

1703
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,159
for the individual athlete, but they're families. So yeah, that's

1704
01:31:29,199 --> 01:31:31,119
one of the things. You know, people talk we have

1705
01:31:31,239 --> 01:31:33,159
careers in sports, Matt. We love sports, and there's a

1706
01:31:33,199 --> 01:31:35,520
number reason we love sports. But one of the things

1707
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:38,039
I tell people that I love the beauty I see

1708
01:31:38,079 --> 01:31:41,279
in sports is that when you are watching somebody, when

1709
01:31:41,279 --> 01:31:44,159
you're watching them make a step back three or like

1710
01:31:44,199 --> 01:31:47,079
you're talking about make volleyball plays, you're not only watching

1711
01:31:47,119 --> 01:31:50,279
that individual play. You're watching the hours and hours and

1712
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:53,359
hours and thousands of hours and time and dedication of

1713
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:56,159
practicing and working on the craft to where they get

1714
01:31:56,199 --> 01:31:59,319
to that moment and they can execute those things. That's

1715
01:31:59,359 --> 01:32:02,560
What I love about sports is it's not only like

1716
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,000
you know, you get to watch these ice skating you're like, wow,

1717
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:06,960
that was pretty cool. This dude was in the gym

1718
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:10,239
by himself, on the ice ring, by himself for hours,

1719
01:32:10,359 --> 01:32:12,920
doing all these things, honing their craft so they can

1720
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:14,960
get to these moments. That's what you're watching when you

1721
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:18,199
watch sports too. And the reality is this too. You know,

1722
01:32:18,199 --> 01:32:20,600
we always talk about these fringe players and how we're

1723
01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:23,560
kind of teasing about sugar Land and whatnot to just

1724
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:26,039
to get to sugar Land. Yeah, it's a triple A.

1725
01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:30,600
You're insane baseball. So good at baseball, Yeah, since you

1726
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:32,880
were five or six. But it also does tell you

1727
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:35,600
again there is such a difference in getting all the

1728
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:40,399
way there and getting almost all the way there. There

1729
01:32:40,399 --> 01:32:43,880
are hundreds of thousands of athletes that just could not

1730
01:32:44,159 --> 01:32:47,640
reach the very pinnacle. I know, so you we I

1731
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:50,680
think we sometimes we lose sight of that, whether sure

1732
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:53,159
a fringe NBA player that's in a G league or

1733
01:32:53,199 --> 01:32:56,279
a minor league player, or for that matter, of high

1734
01:32:56,319 --> 01:32:58,720
profile college athlete that just the four years are done

1735
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:00,520
and they're not gonna go play in the NFL. Oh,

1736
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:03,800
he's trash. Or he sucks or he's terrible. No, he's

1737
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:06,600
not trash. You got people making fun of Joey low

1738
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,720
Perffedo's with rate. I mean it's terrible. Yeah, what kind

1739
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:11,239
of d bag would do that? That's what I want

1740
01:33:11,239 --> 01:33:13,680
to know. But just to let you know, I will

1741
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:16,760
not be retiring anytime soon, because Thomas came and told

1742
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:18,720
me how much the dress costs, and I'm like, oh

1743
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:21,600
my god, what I actually don't even want to ask,

1744
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:24,359
what the what's the going rate for address these days?

1745
01:33:26,039 --> 01:33:28,039
Custom made? And now they're in the room with me

1746
01:33:28,159 --> 01:33:29,920
right now, they're high body of each other. This is

1747
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:34,119
not awful. They're like, we got dad custom made in Italy.

1748
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:37,800
It's being ship they bought it here in Dallas and

1749
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:39,920
it's being shipped back to Houston. You know that's gonna

1750
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:40,319
be an extra.

1751
01:33:40,399 --> 01:33:40,560
Speaker 3: Man.

1752
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 2: What did I do? Ross? They bring me a lot

1753
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:48,079
to joy So I think I just wanted I think

1754
01:33:48,119 --> 01:33:50,640
I just got my rental rented tucks from either Men's

1755
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:53,680
Warehouse or Boal's normal Bear. Yeah, by the way, you're

1756
01:33:53,720 --> 01:33:56,600
definitely invited to her engagement party and engagement her high

1757
01:33:56,640 --> 01:33:58,960
school graduation party. Wanting to bring a check. You just

1758
01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:01,039
want me to get we can bring a Yes, I haven't.

1759
01:34:01,039 --> 01:34:03,279
That's exactly right. That's unfair to your other sons because

1760
01:34:03,279 --> 01:34:05,840
I didn't go to those. Well, you can compensate. They'll

1761
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:09,560
be there too, So give them money too. I'll pay

1762
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:14,039
her a hundred bucks to say, unfollow sports MT she

1763
01:34:14,079 --> 01:34:17,079
would do it. Shouldn't call me mister text. She called

1764
01:34:17,119 --> 01:34:22,399
me daddy Texas. That's I mean, yeah, you're her father.

1765
01:34:23,319 --> 01:34:26,640
That's right. Still feel uncomfortable hearing that, But that's fine.

1766
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:30,319
All right, So let's get to the audio. Uh, the

1767
01:34:30,359 --> 01:34:33,600
big day. We're segueing. But way, we have a d

1768
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:37,319
of the Year candidate coming up at twelve thirty, Joey opf. No,

1769
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:42,199
of course not, he's our hero. Continue on, go to

1770
01:34:42,239 --> 01:34:45,279
the audio. Sure, why not? Here's joe a spot a.

1771
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:48,079
Joey Lopaffedo is bag maybe.

1772
01:34:49,199 --> 01:34:52,199
Speaker 7: Obviously, when Joey came up in twenty four, we, you know,

1773
01:34:52,399 --> 01:34:54,640
super excited about what this kid kid can do on

1774
01:34:54,680 --> 01:34:58,079
the baseball field and what it's likes to me more

1775
01:34:58,279 --> 01:35:02,079
is that he's trending in the direction offensively. He makes

1776
01:35:02,119 --> 01:35:06,560
some changes last year where strikeout rate went down ten percent,

1777
01:35:07,119 --> 01:35:11,279
hitting's balls hard, He's staying in the zone. And it's

1778
01:35:11,279 --> 01:35:13,880
a pretty dynamic defender too, can play some centate feel

1779
01:35:15,479 --> 01:35:18,199
immediately think about that play that he made in Minnesota

1780
01:35:18,199 --> 01:35:18,840
against the Wall.

1781
01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:20,399
Speaker 2: It was a huge play at the time.

1782
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:21,079
Speaker 5: Uh.

1783
01:35:21,119 --> 01:35:22,840
Speaker 2: So he brings a lot of good things to the table.

1784
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:28,920
So we be excited to have him back. Yeah, Lopes

1785
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:33,520
is back, baby. Now who's he back for? We hope

1786
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:35,479
it's the Astros is potentially a you know what if

1787
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:37,560
he wants a challenge for a starting spot, I'm okay

1788
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:40,960
with that. But let's again, let's make sure Brady knows this.

1789
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:45,319
The Astros are saving millions and millions of dollars on

1790
01:35:45,359 --> 01:35:49,399
this situation here. Yes, that's it's it's a precursor to

1791
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:51,399
another move. This is what it's probably gonna be. But

1792
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:56,039
Joey loperfdo is back and David Brown's ready for him too. Yeah,

1793
01:35:56,079 --> 01:35:56,479
hired him.

1794
01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:59,680
Speaker 6: He's uh you know, it was very tough when he

1795
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:03,079
left your last time, well when we traded him, and

1796
01:36:03,159 --> 01:36:07,199
so very emotional for him. As I said, you know,

1797
01:36:07,279 --> 01:36:10,359
we know all about the makeup and how special his

1798
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:13,640
makeup is. But to get a guy like this that's

1799
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:16,800
trending in the rank direction with five years control made

1800
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:17,520
it more appilling.

1801
01:36:19,319 --> 01:36:22,119
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if Joey le Perfido, if he if

1802
01:36:22,159 --> 01:36:24,039
Dana calls him and says you're coming back, and he's like,

1803
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:27,239
I kind of like it here in Toronto. I mean,

1804
01:36:27,319 --> 01:36:29,720
we went to the World Series, played Game seven. I

1805
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:36,039
guess I'll show up. Everybody usually with trades is excited.

1806
01:36:36,079 --> 01:36:38,199
When do you We're hear about a player going oh, no,

1807
01:36:38,239 --> 01:36:42,439
I'm good. I'll say I'm going to pass. Yes, yeah,

1808
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:45,119
got a big fishing trip coming up. Well, the reality

1809
01:36:45,199 --> 01:36:47,439
is this he probably has, as you brought up on

1810
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,960
a tweet somebody brought up earlier, he's got a better

1811
01:36:50,039 --> 01:36:52,239
chance of playing. Kids want to play ross. They just do.

1812
01:36:53,359 --> 01:36:56,039
I have met so many athletes in my life covering,

1813
01:36:56,079 --> 01:36:59,640
especially cover the NBA. The guys will go from a

1814
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:03,399
six win team and not play. They would rather go

1815
01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:07,920
play for a sixty loss team and play. Not every time,

1816
01:37:08,079 --> 01:37:10,720
but a lot of times. As long as the money

1817
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:13,960
is the same. They want to play. Championships are important.

1818
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:16,279
But that's been the one thing if you really want

1819
01:37:16,319 --> 01:37:20,159
to peel the curtain back of how I've learned through

1820
01:37:20,159 --> 01:37:24,600
the years about this, this sports industry, winning is I

1821
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:28,079
don't want to say largely over Raty Bross, but it's overrated.

1822
01:37:29,199 --> 01:37:35,680
Guys shake off losses significantly easier than we as sports

1823
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:43,199
fans do. They just do. And I remember players. I

1824
01:37:43,279 --> 01:37:46,039
think I remember, was it Bruce Remember Bruce Brown? He's

1825
01:37:46,079 --> 01:37:49,600
with the Denver Nuggets now? He said, like a backup

1826
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:52,640
guard for them? Yes, And and Bruce that you remember

1827
01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:54,640
when Denver won a championship and then he got Then

1828
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:57,279
he he got traded in Indiana. I think after getting

1829
01:37:57,279 --> 01:37:58,279
a new deal. I don't know what it was, but

1830
01:37:58,319 --> 01:38:01,079
he got traded once or twice. And I talked to

1831
01:38:01,119 --> 01:38:03,560
imay Doak. I said, do you think Bruce Brown's upset?

1832
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,119
He goes, no, he got his bag. Yeah, when you

1833
01:38:06,119 --> 01:38:09,279
get the bag and you're offered an opportunity to go

1834
01:38:09,319 --> 01:38:13,960
play some more. Winning is not saying secondary, but it

1835
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:16,000
doesn't carry the same cachet as it would be if

1836
01:38:16,039 --> 01:38:18,880
oh my, like Bennett Matheren is now a member of

1837
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:22,439
the Los Angeles Clippers. He was a guard for the

1838
01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:25,560
Indiana Pacers during their championship run last year. He's playing

1839
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:27,600
for the Clippers. They're not gonna win a championship this year.

1840
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:30,840
They're probably never gonna win a championship. Again. Meanwhile, the Pacers,

1841
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,399
once Tyreese Haliburton comes back and is healthy next year,

1842
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:35,880
they got a significant chance of running through the East

1843
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:39,199
pretty easily. Ben's like, Yeah, I got my money, I'll

1844
01:38:39,239 --> 01:38:40,640
go play for them. I wanna play. I'm gonna play

1845
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:44,000
twenty five minutes a game. So that's and I hate

1846
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,279
to say that to our audience because there are so

1847
01:38:46,279 --> 01:38:47,960
many people that live and die with every at bad

1848
01:38:48,079 --> 01:38:50,680
or every shot that's made or every pass is thrown.

1849
01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,760
The athletes don't run that direction. They just don't. Yeah,

1850
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:58,840
open your eyes. I would do the If you're gonna

1851
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:01,279
only have ten years of a prime and even less

1852
01:39:01,319 --> 01:39:03,319
than that for many people, go make as much as

1853
01:39:03,319 --> 01:39:05,159
you can, Go make as much you can. That's what

1854
01:39:05,159 --> 01:39:08,000
they're doing, all right. Twelve twenty eight on Sports Talk

1855
01:39:08,079 --> 01:39:10,079
seven ninety is and Anything Goes Friday Here on the

1856
01:39:10,119 --> 01:39:12,720
show seven one three two one two five seven ninety.

1857
01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:15,159
If you want to chime in seven one three two

1858
01:39:15,279 --> 01:39:17,680
one two five seven ninety, we have a d of

1859
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:26,159
the Year candidate Ross. Anything Goes Friday here on the

1860
01:39:26,199 --> 01:39:30,960
program again. Joey Little Berfido in for Haesu Sanchez Ross

1861
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:32,880
and I do you want to make like a super

1862
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:34,640
early gut feeling. I think I alluded to when we're

1863
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:37,560
on with Gordy a couple hours back. Does Hasu Sanchez

1864
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:40,039
even put an astro uniform on by the time the

1865
01:39:40,079 --> 01:39:44,960
full squad workouts begin on Monday? You mean Esak paradis

1866
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:49,800
what I say, Haesus Sanchez? Oh, I'm sorry. Isak Paradius

1867
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:55,840
not Haston Haychez? I will say, no, Okay, all right,

1868
01:39:56,159 --> 01:39:58,640
uh ROSSI, So let's get something else real quick. This

1869
01:39:58,720 --> 01:40:00,640
is a d of the Year Canada. Unless you don't

1870
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:08,880
think he is. Do you know who Joe Judge Ish? No,

1871
01:40:10,399 --> 01:40:17,359
he's the coach at Old Miss. Okay. He completed testimony

1872
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:21,520
in the Trinidad Chamberleiss Injunction hearing. Hearing this happened a

1873
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:26,640
couple of days ago, talking about how Chamberliss would would

1874
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:30,479
be better served in a year of development for his

1875
01:40:30,560 --> 01:40:32,520
future in the NFL. It was able to get another

1876
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:39,199
year of college eligibility at Old Miss. Well, he brought

1877
01:40:39,279 --> 01:40:44,319
up that and if he was talking about Chambliss in

1878
01:40:44,399 --> 01:40:50,079
particular or other athletes, but he brought up the responsibility

1879
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:55,039
of football players when they are fathers, which is one

1880
01:40:55,039 --> 01:40:57,359
thing again, I would I would my advice be to

1881
01:40:57,359 --> 01:40:58,800
wait till you get older and get out of school

1882
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:02,000
and get married and you know, regular life. But sometimes

1883
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:05,000
that isn't is the case. But Joe George is basically

1884
01:41:05,239 --> 01:41:08,680
George George, Joe Judge. Excuse me, maybe Joe George is

1885
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:12,479
like the same thing. You never know. Joe Judge believes

1886
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:15,600
that you got to leave the players alone during the

1887
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,920
football season. And here's another here's an example of such.

1888
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 18: But we would have to educate This is always a

1889
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:23,039
tough conversation to have and it's not even a popular thing.

1890
01:41:23,079 --> 01:41:25,319
This is the truth is we would have to educate

1891
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:28,079
significant others who may have been pregnant in the season.

1892
01:41:28,279 --> 01:41:30,560
We're going to have a baby during the season, and

1893
01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:33,760
you have to educate them on you have this baby

1894
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:38,199
in the season. That father has to play good football, right,

1895
01:41:38,239 --> 01:41:39,680
it's a day by day production business.

1896
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:41,119
Speaker 2: He has to be able to perform and go out

1897
01:41:41,119 --> 01:41:43,199
there and play. And what I say that is you

1898
01:41:43,239 --> 01:41:45,039
need to let him sleep. He needs to be in

1899
01:41:45,039 --> 01:41:46,479
another room detached.

1900
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:48,159
Speaker 18: You have to explain to the mother like, hey, listen,

1901
01:41:48,199 --> 01:41:50,960
he ain't waking up for the midnight feedings every season.

1902
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:52,680
Speaker 19: He's full metal jacket.

1903
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:54,600
Speaker 2: You do whatever you want with him. He change of

1904
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:56,840
the dicer. But in the season, he's got to have

1905
01:41:57,079 --> 01:42:15,439
a different priority. Now, all right, you're the father, so

1906
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:16,439
you take the lead here.

1907
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:17,079
Speaker 3: All right.

1908
01:42:17,119 --> 01:42:22,079
Speaker 2: I know I'm gonna I'm gonna delicinitely walk this line

1909
01:42:22,079 --> 01:42:30,680
a little bit. I would think a good mother would

1910
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:35,520
understand that the father has to go to school, has

1911
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:40,439
football workouts, that his time is. It's it's to the

1912
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:43,960
hour what he's doing. I mean, it's it's a regiment. Okay.

1913
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:50,439
But even with that being said, good fathers just can't

1914
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,640
turn off being a good father only when they want

1915
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:55,520
to be good fathers. You gotta be a good father

1916
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:59,039
three sixty five. You can't be a good father for

1917
01:42:59,079 --> 01:43:01,520
six months and an absentee for the other six The

1918
01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:04,600
life doesn't work that way. So if you have a

1919
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:07,319
good wife, which you do, is you have open lines

1920
01:43:07,319 --> 01:43:10,199
of communication. You say, hey, I got a game coming

1921
01:43:10,279 --> 01:43:12,239
up on Saturday. Can you take care of a couple

1922
01:43:12,279 --> 01:43:14,359
of days from a Thursday and Friday with the feedings,

1923
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:17,840
and maybe I'll help out on Mondays or Tuesdays. I

1924
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:19,720
did that a lot with my kids with my wife.

1925
01:43:20,119 --> 01:43:21,920
You know, hey, you know this is a day where

1926
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:23,399
this is tough for me to get up and help.

1927
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:30,359
We and you have a reasonable adult conversation. If you

1928
01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:34,079
can't have a reasonable adult conversation about this, then you

1929
01:43:34,079 --> 01:43:37,720
probably shouldn't have had sex. And if you had to

1930
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:40,560
have sex, you obviously need to figure out a way

1931
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:43,920
to make sure that you do not procreate. But for

1932
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:50,000
a coach to come in and say that and say, hey, listen, mother,

1933
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:53,680
you leave the father who was just as responsible as

1934
01:43:53,720 --> 01:43:56,720
you were for bringing this creature, this child into life,

1935
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:05,319
he needs his rest is at asolutely ridiculous. And maybe

1936
01:44:05,399 --> 01:44:09,840
Joe Judge was thinking that, but the way he says

1937
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:12,880
it in a courtroom where it's recorded makes him come

1938
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:21,000
across as a total b I. You know what, I'm

1939
01:44:21,039 --> 01:44:24,600
curious Jonathan's perspective on this. As a former college athlete.

1940
01:44:25,399 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 15: Uh, I've had multiple teammates that had children, even in

1941
01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:32,960
doing track and football. I have never heard this in

1942
01:44:33,079 --> 01:44:38,840
my entire Okay, see Pocket, you're trying to, like Matt said,

1943
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:41,479
you're trying to get your responsible of a father away

1944
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:43,439
because you want to play more. For it's real life, bro,

1945
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:45,039
you had a kid, Like, let's go.

1946
01:44:45,159 --> 01:44:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Yeah, you don't do it. Yeah, you don't

1947
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,800
get to be a regular student athlete when you became

1948
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:54,359
a father. That's that's the chance you took by you

1949
01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:56,840
and maybe you did it intentionally, or maybe you didn't

1950
01:44:56,840 --> 01:45:01,279
do it intentionally. I again, everybody's different, but you just

1951
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:03,760
can't turn There's no on and off button for being

1952
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:10,479
a parent. Now, is there reasonable expectations? Yeah, if you

1953
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:13,920
have a decent relationship with a woman that you create

1954
01:45:13,960 --> 01:45:16,720
this child with, then you would have some parameters. And

1955
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:19,760
I'm not against that. If there's a big game on

1956
01:45:20,199 --> 01:45:24,560
Saturday and Friday night, he needs straight sleep. I get that.

1957
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:28,560
I'm not We're not naive to this, but to just say,

1958
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,760
you know what, he can't be handing these feedings. He's

1959
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:34,239
a college athlete. Well that that was the case, then

1960
01:45:34,319 --> 01:45:37,119
he needed to zip his pants up, not worry about being,

1961
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:42,159
you know, a college athlete. It's just nuts. Honestly, excuse me,

1962
01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:46,199
it's nuts said hog nuts? Is it hognuts? It's more

1963
01:45:46,199 --> 01:45:49,680
than hog nuts? Coconuts?

1964
01:45:51,119 --> 01:45:51,399
Speaker 9: All right?

1965
01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:53,079
Speaker 2: Ross? And you want to anything, you just want to

1966
01:45:53,079 --> 01:45:53,399
stay out.

1967
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:54,199
Speaker 3: I'm good.

1968
01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:56,680
Speaker 2: It seems crazy. I was just saying my first blush

1969
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:59,840
as a nonfather and a non college athlete. It seemed

1970
01:45:59,880 --> 01:46:03,600
in it's and I think both of y'all have backed

1971
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:11,760
that up. So yeah, I just I you know, look,

1972
01:46:12,239 --> 01:46:14,399
that's the thing was when I was working, when I

1973
01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:16,159
was you, I was working a lot of postgame shows,

1974
01:46:16,199 --> 01:46:18,880
going to bed twelve thirty one o'clock. Kim would say, Okay,

1975
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,359
you got here, what's your schedule, Like, let's figure this out.

1976
01:46:21,359 --> 01:46:24,359
And that's what it takes. Now if you have you know, again,

1977
01:46:24,479 --> 01:46:27,319
who knows if people have irresponsible relationships or not, or

1978
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:30,640
if there's somebody's not diligent enough to or practical to

1979
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,319
realize that somebody's got something going on. Okay, then maybe

1980
01:46:33,319 --> 01:46:35,399
you needed somebody else step in and say help out.

1981
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:38,439
But no, come on, you cannot. Yeah, you had all

1982
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:40,319
the fun and you get to hold the baby when

1983
01:46:40,319 --> 01:46:43,399
it's during the daytime hours. But if mom needs a break, sorry,

1984
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:44,399
you're playing football.

1985
01:46:45,039 --> 01:46:46,560
Speaker 15: So I had, you know, I had, and I'm not

1986
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:48,520
gonna say any names, but I did have a teammate

1987
01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:52,960
where she had a child with the football player and

1988
01:46:53,079 --> 01:46:55,840
he is so happy to go and you know, go

1989
01:46:55,960 --> 01:46:59,279
pro and had to move right. But even during college,

1990
01:46:59,279 --> 01:47:01,880
and she was a track runner as well, we would

1991
01:47:01,880 --> 01:47:05,319
have Saturday morning practices ten eight ten miles away or

1992
01:47:05,359 --> 01:47:07,680
what case may be, baby, you would be in the

1993
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:09,399
stroller doing the work out with us. You get what

1994
01:47:09,399 --> 01:47:11,840
I'm saying, Like that, you don't drop your responsibility just

1995
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,239
because you got some football play. You know, like that's

1996
01:47:14,279 --> 01:47:16,439
your child. You've got to make sure it's a better life.

1997
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:18,840
And it's this, it's weird, it's I don't know.

1998
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 2: It was extremely tone deaf at the bare minimum and

1999
01:47:26,000 --> 01:47:29,640
beyond stupid even bringing up in a conversation at all.

2000
01:47:31,359 --> 01:47:34,079
I'm sorry. Do not go to your college football coaches

2001
01:47:35,039 --> 01:47:38,079
for how to raise your family you just because they're

2002
01:47:38,079 --> 01:47:42,159
gonna they're like, choke. I mean, could is there any

2003
01:47:42,199 --> 01:47:44,600
party he's probably thinking? I never should have said that.

2004
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:47,279
I may have thought it. Those are people that think that.

2005
01:47:47,359 --> 01:47:50,479
I mean, I get it. I'm the breadwinner, I'm the athlete.

2006
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:52,159
I'm the one doing all this and all you gotta

2007
01:47:52,159 --> 01:47:54,079
do is take care of the kid. Tell you some

2008
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:56,800
having watched my my wife do a lot it for

2009
01:47:56,840 --> 01:47:59,399
three it's hard raising children. It just is. And you

2010
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:01,680
gotta be there's much as you can. Can't be there always,

2011
01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:02,960
but you try to be as much as you can.

2012
01:48:03,039 --> 01:48:06,600
I just who it was. I just heard that quote.

2013
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:12,000
I'm like, what are you thinking? Seven under oath? Under

2014
01:48:12,039 --> 01:48:14,760
oath to in a trial in a courtroom with a

2015
01:48:14,840 --> 01:48:17,079
judge for the permanent record?

2016
01:48:17,319 --> 01:48:17,720
Speaker 3: What it was?

2017
01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:21,399
Speaker 2: A female judge like, man, it shuts yobumas mate. Oh man,

2018
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:26,800
he's getting crushed. Yeah, it's not going well. Not going well.

2019
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:29,239
I think the number one thing is don't listen to

2020
01:48:29,239 --> 01:48:32,960
this man under anything. That's what I'm seeing. Let's talk

2021
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,039
to j W at twelve forty two one seven on

2022
01:48:36,039 --> 01:48:39,239
a j W. Good afternoon to you. How are you

2023
01:48:39,239 --> 01:48:43,800
guys doing good? What's going on? Okay?

2024
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:48,479
Speaker 20: First of all, I made a comment to Jonathan and

2025
01:48:49,239 --> 01:48:51,840
SAMs and Meloc Olbourne needs to get a big bretches

2026
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:53,800
on an act like a man instead of a kid.

2027
01:48:54,920 --> 01:48:59,239
Second of all, huh, woies. I went to school with him.

2028
01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:02,840
I'm very, very very proud of him. He brought his

2029
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,840
self up from his bootstraps. Went to high school with

2030
01:49:06,920 --> 01:49:11,840
him in junior high. He's done well for himself. I'm

2031
01:49:11,960 --> 01:49:13,800
very proud of what he's accomplished.

2032
01:49:15,119 --> 01:49:16,560
Speaker 2: Who is this you're talking about? Jonathan?

2033
01:49:17,359 --> 01:49:17,399
Speaker 5: No?

2034
01:49:17,920 --> 01:49:21,640
Speaker 2: No, from what's your beef for Jonathan? Now he's talking

2035
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:29,600
about them guys? Oh Chambers? Okay, I was confused, and.

2036
01:49:31,279 --> 01:49:35,399
Speaker 20: I can't even pronounce the guy that they got from

2037
01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:38,000
the Jays, Louis whatever.

2038
01:49:40,159 --> 01:49:41,279
Speaker 12: I got a feeling he's.

2039
01:49:41,159 --> 01:49:43,159
Speaker 20: Probably gonna be bait.

2040
01:49:45,600 --> 01:49:46,239
Speaker 2: Bait for what.

2041
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:50,279
Speaker 20: To try to get somebody a little bit more for

2042
01:49:50,359 --> 01:49:53,840
outfield along with another trade.

2043
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:58,560
Speaker 2: So the Astros traded for Joey Loperfido only to trade

2044
01:49:58,600 --> 01:49:59,680
him again, is what you're saying.

2045
01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:01,720
Speaker 20: That's what I'm thinking.

2046
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:04,359
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I don't think.

2047
01:50:04,199 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 5: So, j W.

2048
01:50:05,079 --> 01:50:07,720
Speaker 2: I don't think you. I would. I would, Sanchez, I

2049
01:50:07,720 --> 01:50:08,880
would change your thought on that.

2050
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:15,039
Speaker 20: Well, been an Astro fan a long time. Maybe there's

2051
01:50:15,079 --> 01:50:18,760
some way that we can trade Dana Brown and get

2052
01:50:18,840 --> 01:50:19,800
aj hanschback.

2053
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:20,560
Speaker 2: You reckon.

2054
01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:22,560
Speaker 5: Just being sorry.

2055
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,960
Speaker 2: I reckon it's probably not going to happen. Yeah, I reckon,

2056
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:28,520
that's finely gonna happen. It's no one's a general manager.

2057
01:50:28,720 --> 01:50:32,319
Speaker 20: One As a manager, you're gonna have to start eating

2058
01:50:32,319 --> 01:50:33,119
some guacamole.

2059
01:50:33,239 --> 01:50:34,239
Speaker 12: Man, it's good for you.

2060
01:50:36,279 --> 01:50:39,319
Speaker 2: Wait now, JW's making some good point, JW. So let

2061
01:50:39,359 --> 01:50:40,239
me let me get this straight.

2062
01:50:40,479 --> 01:50:40,840
Speaker 5: J W.

2063
01:50:41,239 --> 01:50:43,239
Speaker 2: You're a guacamole consumer.

2064
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:46,840
Speaker 20: Oh yes, sir, it's good for He's got all kind

2065
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:49,479
of antioxids and it's good for your body.

2066
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank you, JW. I appreciate that. I'm I will.

2067
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:57,880
You know, apparently Ross's mom makes a delicious guacamole. I

2068
01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:00,279
m try some soon. It's the best in the world world,

2069
01:51:02,039 --> 01:51:06,439
so Ross. The The general ton of that is, if

2070
01:51:06,479 --> 01:51:08,279
I want to be like j W, all you gotta

2071
01:51:08,279 --> 01:51:10,520
do is eat some guacamone. You don't have to be

2072
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:13,279
like him. He's just trying to give you some helpful tips. Matt,

2073
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:15,960
I appreciate it. That's what I'm saying. Maccado is great

2074
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:21,640
for you. Yeah, maybe he'll put a little peak of

2075
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:23,000
the guy. I wanted to spice it up a little

2076
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,880
bit if you want. I mean, guacamolea generally does have

2077
01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:31,600
tomatoes and onions and basically got pico. It's like Pico's

2078
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:35,399
mixed in there, Cilantro, if you'd like. Do you think

2079
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:38,840
Jew thinks that mister Texas. No, I think he thinks

2080
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:41,680
you're anything but and we're and we're an agreement on that.

2081
01:51:42,039 --> 01:51:44,560
I don't think that Joey low Perfido is trade bait,

2082
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:47,880
but I do, But I do think that you are

2083
01:51:47,880 --> 01:51:52,159
not mister Texas, and should the Astros trade Dana Brown

2084
01:51:52,199 --> 01:51:57,479
for a J. Hinch seven one two two five seven

2085
01:51:57,600 --> 01:52:01,199
ninety not good, not wrong, Well I was coming wrong.

2086
01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:03,239
You brought up a question. I can bring it up.

2087
01:52:03,319 --> 01:52:05,760
Thank you, JW. Have a great day, have a great weekend.

2088
01:52:06,039 --> 01:52:08,600
By the way, some slight breaking news the Rolling a

2089
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:15,239
Ral and Humble closed down but the health department shut

2090
01:52:15,279 --> 01:52:17,239
them down or what? Oh, I don't know they got

2091
01:52:17,279 --> 01:52:19,880
too expensive? What what?

2092
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:19,960
Speaker 5: What?

2093
01:52:21,039 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 2: I promise?

2094
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:24,399
Speaker 15: This is back in college we were all trying to

2095
01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:25,840
use up our DM and say little cash.

2096
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:27,880
Speaker 2: You knows it will come back. It was always gonna

2097
01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:28,680
go golden raw.

2098
01:52:30,039 --> 01:52:33,199
Speaker 15: It's like fourteen dollars to get in for a person now,

2099
01:52:33,239 --> 01:52:34,840
like it was never that expensive.

2100
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:40,079
Speaker 2: How much is it? I guess I remember when it

2101
01:52:40,159 --> 01:52:41,600
was like nine to ninety nine back in the day.

2102
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:45,279
I honestly haven't been in many moons. That's too expensive.

2103
01:52:45,319 --> 01:52:48,479
I'm telling you. I I used to go to Rolling

2104
01:52:48,560 --> 01:52:53,520
a Ral for breakfast. It wasn't bad. But the problem

2105
01:52:53,560 --> 01:52:55,680
is you went to Rolling Around for dinner and you

2106
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:57,680
because your kids wanted to go to the chocolate fountain.

2107
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:00,000
People sticking their hands in the chocolate funtain. That's gross.

2108
01:53:00,039 --> 01:53:03,560
Mm hmm. It's got to dip your strawberry. You gotta

2109
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:10,479
dip in and dip out. I think it's pretty safe

2110
01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:14,359
to say we should stay away from most, if not all, buffets. Yeah,

2111
01:53:14,399 --> 01:53:18,039
but man, I miss Chinese buffets. I miss miss Vegas,

2112
01:53:18,560 --> 01:53:21,439
Oh Vegas. Yeah, but they got expensive too. It's probat

2113
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:23,479
of the reason why let the Vegas loss it souls

2114
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:26,920
charging too much money for the buffets. Let's talk to

2115
01:53:27,319 --> 01:53:29,600

01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:38,319

Speaker 2: I am. Thank you very much for saying. It's nice

2121
01:53:41,079 --> 01:53:42,199
you to say that, but.

2122
01:53:42,279 --> 01:53:44,399
Speaker 12: Then I'm gonna get you. You know, played at rich

2123
01:53:44,439 --> 01:53:47,640
a ladder's flattered along with a slap slap of glack

2124
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:51,279
and some briscuit nachos. No check that chop brisket fon, dude,

2125
01:53:51,319 --> 01:53:51,760
how about that?

2126
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:54,359
Speaker 2: You know what, I'll have some brisket nachos. You want

2127
01:53:54,359 --> 01:53:56,159
to you want to slice up some chop it up

2128
01:53:56,199 --> 01:53:58,319
and put on some tortilla chips. Excellent idea.

2129
01:53:58,760 --> 01:54:03,560
Speaker 12: I'm all in yeah yeah, so uh who is that

2130
01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:08,800
previous called blasphemous Joey Joey Low Praffito day trying to

2131
01:54:08,880 --> 01:54:12,960
associate at Joey Low Peffito Day. Louis Piffos is just

2132
01:54:13,119 --> 01:54:15,479
being his cousin. That Come on, man, everybody knows that

2133
01:54:15,560 --> 01:54:20,600
in the South Side. So anyway, Uh yeah, I think

2134
01:54:20,600 --> 01:54:22,960
he's on the h the boy Danna's on the on

2135
01:54:23,039 --> 01:54:26,720
the on the right track. I think automatically, our outfield

2136
01:54:26,800 --> 01:54:29,199
is better just like that. I mean it's not much better,

2137
01:54:29,239 --> 01:54:32,920
but it's better. Uh. And uh, I think, like he said,

2138
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:35,439
he's not done yet. I think he's gonna get uh,

2139
01:54:36,159 --> 01:54:39,319
mister Christian Basque is back, uh back in the folds

2140
01:54:39,880 --> 01:54:42,119
because I don't way Yanna did to do a whole

2141
01:54:42,119 --> 01:54:45,199
season with him. And what's the other kid that got

2142
01:54:45,279 --> 01:54:48,159
hit by farmber. Yeah, they're gonna need some help back

2143
01:54:48,199 --> 01:54:50,800
there because I see him. I mean I just don't

2144
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:55,119
see um, I just don't see, uh what's.

2145
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:55,520
Speaker 5: His face.

2146
01:54:57,079 --> 01:55:00,079
Speaker 12: The backcatcher. I just don't see him doing any and

2147
01:55:00,199 --> 01:55:03,119
he did. Yeah, he's a he got. He backslid so

2148
01:55:03,199 --> 01:55:06,600
bad last year it's played. Discipline is just beyond horrible.

2149
01:55:06,640 --> 01:55:06,840
Speaker 8: Man.

2150
01:55:06,880 --> 01:55:08,800
Speaker 12: I just I'm so sorry for the guy. But he's

2151
01:55:08,840 --> 01:55:11,199
just not there, and I'm not sure he's gonna reach it.

2152
01:55:11,359 --> 01:55:16,079
Speaker 2: So all right, guys, So obviously Rogers Rogers Gold on

2153
01:55:16,119 --> 01:55:18,560
the catching situation for twenty twenty six. No matter who,

2154
01:55:18,760 --> 01:55:21,199
no matter who's behind it. I think they need somebody

2155
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:24,520
they're gonna have. Maybe with this extra cash they unloaded,

2156
01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:27,319
they can get somebody, somebody. I saw somebody on Twitter

2157
01:55:27,359 --> 01:55:29,920
saying Christian Vasquez is still available. That's what he brought him.

2158
01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:31,359
It's a second ago. Let me ask you this, would

2159
01:55:31,399 --> 01:55:38,279
you rather get a better catcher? Well, I mean, were

2160
01:55:38,319 --> 01:55:44,680
we with yan Air Diez generally speaking as an overall player? Uh?

2161
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:49,960
Last year he was just a guy. Does he throw

2162
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:52,840
anybody out? I mean I don't No, No, He's bad,

2163
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:55,800
not great at it, not a great framer. Because the

2164
01:55:56,600 --> 01:55:59,119
just always had was that Yaner die was, ultimately is

2165
01:55:59,119 --> 01:56:01,840
gonna be playing first base with the Astros. Plus the last

2166
01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:03,560
three years has gone from one twenty eight to one

2167
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:07,039
sixteen to ninety two. That's that's trending in the wrong direction.

2168
01:56:08,560 --> 01:56:14,159
He hit twenty bombs last year, but he only hit

2169
01:56:14,199 --> 01:56:17,640
two fifty six with a seven oh one oh ps.

2170
01:56:17,880 --> 01:56:19,560
What I would do is a catcher you don't need

2171
01:56:19,600 --> 01:56:21,760
somebody you know, you don't. You don't need a buster

2172
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:26,279
Posey back there. But if he if he's just an

2173
01:56:26,319 --> 01:56:31,119
okay defensive catcher, you you would like more from the bat.

2174
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:33,479
Well I got, we get. We gotta do what we're

2175
01:56:33,479 --> 01:56:35,720
gonna get down to Florida. We gotta find outbout Walter Gannick.

2176
01:56:35,760 --> 01:56:38,279
If he is where he is on the on the pipeline,

2177
01:56:38,399 --> 01:56:41,479
is its two? He's two years removed from the draft. Correct, Yeah,

2178
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:47,560
he's so. He's twenty three after full college too. Yes,

2179
01:56:49,199 --> 01:56:53,479
and he's not on any top one hundred lists. First

2180
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:58,079
round pick. By the way, first rounders are not only

2181
01:56:58,119 --> 01:57:00,399
supposed to be at the big leagues, but there's supposed

2182
01:57:00,399 --> 01:57:04,079
to contribute. He uh, do you want his Arizona Fall

2183
01:57:04,119 --> 01:57:07,279
League stats? How good are they? By the way, he

2184
01:57:07,279 --> 01:57:10,880
was in High A Ball last year? Twenty three at

2185
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:17,800
High A. Go ahead, I'm afraid to ask. Go ahead.

2186
01:57:19,800 --> 01:57:22,199
He only played thirteen games. You get two forty one

2187
01:57:22,279 --> 01:57:25,199
with the seven to seventy oh ps three homers. He

2188
01:57:25,239 --> 01:57:29,039
had some pop. See, I'm not really I don't know

2189
01:57:29,119 --> 01:57:31,640
the awareness of what the fall league is bring. I mean,

2190
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:36,399
if that is that guy, I would imagine it's it's

2191
01:57:36,439 --> 01:57:41,399
like he's in the ALCS. It's not like a futures

2192
01:57:41,399 --> 01:57:45,880
game or something like that. Twenty three at High A.

2193
01:57:47,079 --> 01:57:49,199
I mean he's got to start the year probably at

2194
01:57:49,239 --> 01:57:52,399
minimum Corpus Christie right going to are the flags are

2195
01:57:52,399 --> 01:57:56,920
going to start to be right? I would hope. So

2196
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:01,239
how long is it supposed to take? Because man, all

2197
01:58:01,279 --> 01:58:03,960
I kept hearing everybody that was a college baseball fan

2198
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:05,800
within three hours of us was talking about how this

2199
01:58:06,119 --> 01:58:07,960
kid is amazing, this is gonna be a steal of

2200
01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:10,159
a selection and I and if it is, let's go.

2201
01:58:10,239 --> 01:58:12,399
I'm ready to see it. But I can't bring somebody

2202
01:58:12,399 --> 01:58:15,199
if he's not ready. But you don't want to be

2203
01:58:15,439 --> 01:58:18,920
you know, you can't be it. You can't be twenty

2204
01:58:18,920 --> 01:58:24,800
four at High A. You just can't. Uh he is.

2205
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:32,560
He's about six months older than Cam Smith and he's

2206
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:36,199
two levels down. But I'm gonna presume, Well we'll catchers.

2207
01:58:36,199 --> 01:58:38,520
Catchers are different and everybody. First of all, everybody's different.

2208
01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:40,960
They are, they are, And you're in no hurry at

2209
01:58:40,960 --> 01:58:44,159
this point because you're not looking for a starter, but

2210
01:58:44,439 --> 01:58:47,720
you're definitely looking for a backup. Twelve fifty eight, it's

2211
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:49,840
Matt Thomas Showood Ross, I got a final hour left

2212

01:58:59,279 --> 01:59:02,359
bit for your stories. Yeah, well usually it doesn't end

2217
01:59:02,439 --> 01:59:06,079
up being from there. I'm sorry, Sri Lanka, all right,

2218
01:59:06,199 --> 01:59:10,199
I'm Madagascar. Yeah. And then we have Hellier Nott that

2219
01:59:10,239 --> 01:59:11,439
did you figure out what you're going with? We're going,

2220
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:14,319
Chris Paul? What are we doing? Helly? I thought we

2221

say we cancel it? No, that's next week Monday. Tusy

2222
01:59:16,880 --> 01:59:21,680
wins Chris Paul. Sure, I mean twenty one years in

2223
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:25,760
the NBA All time great, first one in the Hall

2224
01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:27,680
of Famer. He's an Actually he's gonna make the Basketball

2225
01:59:27,720 --> 01:59:29,920
Hall of Fame and actually deserve it. In twenty one

2226
01:59:29,920 --> 01:59:32,720
disappointment disagreements with his head coach over the Yeah, he's

2227
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:37,039
going to be inducted with alongside Samaki Walker. He is not.

2228
01:59:37,960 --> 01:59:39,920
Why did you pull Samaki Walker out of there? I

2229
01:59:39,920 --> 01:59:41,720
don't know. They let everybody in the Basketball Hall of

2230
01:59:41,720 --> 01:59:44,600
Fame These days, the ones I get bothered by are

2231
01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:49,119
like the Russian players that played in the nineteen fifties. Hey,

2232
01:59:49,159 --> 01:59:53,920
those guys are ballers. Man average nineteen point four points

2233
01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:56,000
in Soviet League. I must be in the Order of

2234
01:59:56,039 --> 01:59:59,239
Basketball Hall of Fame as a horrific attempt at Russian

2235
01:59:59,279 --> 02:00:01,560
That was great, man, fantastic, No was it was terrible.

2236
02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:04,399
I almost wanted to pull it back in before I

2237
02:00:04,439 --> 02:00:12,079
even let it out. Seven final hour of this amazing

2238
02:00:12,199 --> 02:00:16,439
edition of The Mad Thomas Show. We salute Joey. He's back.

2239
02:00:16,439 --> 02:00:20,880
Here on seven ninety is the Matt Thomas Show with.

2240
02:00:21,039 --> 02:00:29,880
Speaker 10: Ross go around the outside, O Braffeto out of the nighthole.

2241
02:00:29,960 --> 02:00:39,439
Speaker 2: That is, Joey is back. Astros fans are happy, and honestly, Ross,

2242
02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:44,319
I think I'm happier about the precursor, which means I

2243
02:00:44,359 --> 02:00:47,800
think we get to spring training Monday and we're talking

2244
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:55,079
about a brand new player and or players. That's how

2245
02:00:55,119 --> 02:00:57,960
I feel about this. Yeah, this is the It's like

2246
02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:01,920
the opener to the headliner. Yeah, and it's the right

2247
02:01:02,079 --> 02:01:05,119
decision to make. Hayesius Sanchez was not a long term fixture.

2248
02:01:05,159 --> 02:01:07,000
He made do you know? He was making almost seven

2249
02:01:07,039 --> 02:01:10,920
million dollars a year and little Berffito's on a rookie

2250
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:14,399
deal so or a second year deal, which is not

2251
02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:19,960
You've got many years of arbitration left. And I know

2252
02:01:20,119 --> 02:01:21,760
here's the thing. I think people are going to get

2253
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:24,800
caught up in the well that little flash of excellency

2254
02:01:25,000 --> 02:01:28,600
had and he's missed. He didn't do anything in Toronto

2255
02:01:29,159 --> 02:01:31,319
that made you severely miss him, right. I mean, there

2256
02:01:31,319 --> 02:01:33,239
were may have a few plays, but that's what major

2257
02:01:33,319 --> 02:01:35,159
leaguer are supposed to do. Make a handful of plays.

2258
02:01:35,880 --> 02:01:38,840
But he didn't supplant anybody in the starting lineup. He

2259
02:01:38,920 --> 02:01:43,319
didn't make a playoff roster or two, and obviously was

2260
02:01:43,479 --> 02:01:46,119
willing to be expendable for a guy that Frankly Ross

2261
02:01:46,119 --> 02:01:48,720
we know who hates su Sanchez was a little bit

2262
02:01:48,720 --> 02:01:52,359
of power, a little bit of outfield, but largely erratic

2263
02:01:52,399 --> 02:01:55,680
in his two plus months as an astro. I mean, remember,

2264
02:01:55,720 --> 02:01:59,039
you were not You're not You're not stealing away Joey

2265
02:01:59,079 --> 02:02:02,319
little Brafito for You're doing this because you're looking to

2266
02:02:02,319 --> 02:02:04,880
save money and you actually have found a trade partner.

2267
02:02:05,039 --> 02:02:08,079
Oh now, we already apologize as Joey Lo Praffito truthers,

2268
02:02:09,239 --> 02:02:10,560
but I mean, no, I think we need to be

2269
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:13,079
a realistic. Yeah, Okay, we do. Yeah, it's a money

2270
02:02:13,119 --> 02:02:15,920
saving move. Maybe Joey lul Pafito will have something he

2271
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:21,119
turns twenty seven in May. He's I mean, what we

2272
02:02:21,199 --> 02:02:23,239
know the book on him is there gonna be some power,

2273
02:02:23,279 --> 02:02:25,800
There's gonna be a lot of strikeouts. And Joe Spotta

2274
02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:29,239
mentioned he's gonna play good defense and out in the outfield.

2275
02:02:29,279 --> 02:02:32,000
He's gonna be your fourth or fifth outfielder. Maximum Well,

2276
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:34,760
the reality is we're gonna root for him because any

2277
02:02:34,840 --> 02:02:37,760
you want to win every trade and you want to

2278
02:02:37,800 --> 02:02:41,359
improve a part of the Astros out the team that

2279
02:02:41,479 --> 02:02:45,560
is probably on pay for the worst going in. So uh,

2280
02:02:45,760 --> 02:02:49,239
I don't think anybody was like, hey, Heysue Sanchez is

2281
02:02:49,279 --> 02:02:51,239
gonna is going to give cam Smith a run for

2282
02:02:51,279 --> 02:02:54,680
his money. The reason why cam Smith Haysue Sanchez would

2283
02:02:54,680 --> 02:02:56,279
have started the year for the Astros in right field

2284
02:02:56,319 --> 02:02:59,319
is because Cam Smith didn't do his job. I do

2285
02:02:59,399 --> 02:03:02,399
believe it's m Smith's job to lose. They may be

2286
02:03:02,560 --> 02:03:05,359
just trying to create a narrative, but camp Smith's first

2287
02:03:05,399 --> 02:03:07,800
round pick. Camp Smith was an amazing player coming out

2288
02:03:07,800 --> 02:03:10,560
of spring training. There were some signs in the first

2289
02:03:10,600 --> 02:03:13,520
month of the season. This was an awesome acquisition. When

2290
02:03:13,520 --> 02:03:17,800
the Kyle Trucker Kyle Tucker trade. He's not vorative talent.

2291
02:03:17,880 --> 02:03:19,520
It's just you gotta just got to put it together

2292
02:03:19,760 --> 02:03:21,680
and you gotta do it consistently. Because we've talked about

2293
02:03:21,680 --> 02:03:24,159
on multiple occasions, the back half of last year was

2294
02:03:24,479 --> 02:03:32,760
a tough watch. Yeah, that's putting it nicely. Now leftfield

2295
02:03:32,800 --> 02:03:38,399
to me is more intriguing to me. I mean, are

2296
02:03:38,439 --> 02:03:41,520
you really ready to go all in for a guy

2297
02:03:41,520 --> 02:03:44,479
who gave you one good month? Deck Cole's ready to

2298
02:03:44,479 --> 02:03:48,520
do it? You're gerty Gordy talking about his muscles. That

2299
02:03:48,680 --> 02:03:50,640
was a little odd, wasn't it. What was odd about it?

2300
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,359
He was talking about he had zero body fat, he

2301
02:03:53,439 --> 02:03:58,079
was sculpted like a Greek god. Huh. It was odd

2302
02:03:58,079 --> 02:03:59,640
when he said he was gonna bring baby oil to

2303
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:03,520
the I mean, Gordon said, there's a few beads of

2304
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:06,199
sweat coming off of my probative. When he walked. We

2305
02:04:06,199 --> 02:04:08,000
were talking about that last year. Cam Smith and like

2306
02:04:08,079 --> 02:04:11,680
Zach Dezenzo, they looked like they were like tag team wrestlers. Yeah,

2307
02:04:11,680 --> 02:04:18,640
that's right. Yeah, today was good And I'm not even

2308
02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:22,600
saying if indeed Paritis gets traded that it's going to

2309
02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:26,760
be great, but it's going to probably solidify some other spots.

2310
02:04:26,760 --> 02:04:30,079
They're clearly not happy Ross with the outfield because they

2311
02:04:30,079 --> 02:04:32,199
took a major leaguer and hates sus Sanchez and said,

2312
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:36,399
we're going to move you out because I can go

2313
02:04:36,439 --> 02:04:38,880
get somebody that's going to be eighty percent cheaper than

2314
02:04:38,880 --> 02:04:41,520
you are, and you probably gave us the same production.

2315
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:43,000
And oh, by the way, now gives us some some

2316
02:04:43,439 --> 02:04:45,520
salary flexibility, so I can go get somebody else if

2317
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:47,000
I got to make a trade and bring back more

2318
02:04:47,039 --> 02:04:49,960
money that I than I'm bringing out. More moves are coming, baby,

2319
02:04:50,119 --> 02:04:54,359
Let's go all right? Seven one, three, two, one two, five,

2320
02:04:54,439 --> 02:04:56,279
seven nine. We have non floor stories coming up at

2321
02:04:56,279 --> 02:04:58,439
the bottom of the hour. And helly, a're not at

2322
02:04:58,479 --> 02:05:01,319
one fifty Ross do this once a year and every

2323
02:05:01,399 --> 02:05:04,119
radio sports host does this. You know how the NFL

2324
02:05:05,039 --> 02:05:08,560
Players Association has that survey that's the anonymous survey of

2325
02:05:09,359 --> 02:05:17,640
how does your team treat you when it comes to nutrition, travels, facilities? Oh,

2326
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:20,720
what do you think about your owner? Oh that's fun

2327
02:05:22,319 --> 02:05:26,039
and cal five years ago got annihilated and it got

2328
02:05:26,079 --> 02:05:31,920
better largely because of Hannah. But it was tough for

2329
02:05:31,960 --> 02:05:35,199
a while being a textan fancying those reports. Well, the

2330
02:05:35,319 --> 02:05:40,560
NFL filed an injunction against its players Association saying that

2331
02:05:41,239 --> 02:05:45,439
those team report cards were not fair, they violated the

2332
02:05:45,439 --> 02:05:49,359
CBA and ordered it to stop making public any future

2333
02:05:49,399 --> 02:05:54,000
report cards, and the arbitrator today agreed with the owners. Really,

2334
02:05:54,239 --> 02:05:57,600
we will never see those reports ever again. No, they can't.

2335
02:05:57,640 --> 02:06:01,319
They can't appeal this. Why can't they do their own

2336
02:06:01,359 --> 02:06:05,840
anonymous polling? What they can do it, they just cannot

2337
02:06:05,880 --> 02:06:08,880
announce it, which I don't. You know, I don't if

2338
02:06:08,920 --> 02:06:11,600
those if those findings go right to the players Association,

2339
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:13,359
and I guess the nfl PA is the one that

2340
02:06:13,439 --> 02:06:21,920
distributes them. That doesn't make any sense to me. I

2341
02:06:21,960 --> 02:06:23,399
think it makes a lot of sense if you're an owner,

2342
02:06:23,880 --> 02:06:26,079
if you get bad grade, you don't want to be embarrassed. Yeah,

2343
02:06:26,119 --> 02:06:29,079
I know I make that that, but that's ridiculous. That's

2344
02:06:29,079 --> 02:06:31,479
like getting rid of the Betest Better Business Bureau. So

2345
02:06:31,520 --> 02:06:34,079
I can't report bad things that are bad practices about

2346
02:06:34,439 --> 02:06:37,960
I don't know, restaurants or whatever. That doesn't make any sense.

2347
02:06:40,119 --> 02:06:42,319
What I don't ever try to portray to myself as

2348
02:06:42,359 --> 02:06:45,640
an arbitrator on the air, But neils to say the

2349
02:06:45,680 --> 02:06:50,359
players are upset. In fact, JJ Watt three hours ago

2350
02:06:50,439 --> 02:06:54,760
retweeted Adam Schefter talking about this instead the following the

2351
02:06:54,880 --> 02:06:58,039
NFL won't let actual players grade the workplace they attend

2352
02:06:58,119 --> 02:07:01,800
every day, but they'll always third party grading service to

2353
02:07:01,800 --> 02:07:05,000
display their rankings of players on national television every Sunday night,

2354
02:07:05,239 --> 02:07:12,479
i e. Pro Football Focus. Huh Yeah, that that I

2355
02:07:12,600 --> 02:07:16,439
just don't get that. How how could a judge possibly

2356
02:07:16,479 --> 02:07:19,479
suppress that's like that. They'd be like, you can can't

2357
02:07:19,479 --> 02:07:22,640
do presidential polls, Well, there must be something in the

2358
02:07:22,640 --> 02:07:25,520
second president I was having bad, bad approval ratings and

2359
02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:28,239
then they shut down the presidential polls. That would be terrible.

2360
02:07:28,279 --> 02:07:33,680
That's that's suppressing freedom of speech. Let me let me

2361
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:34,479
further read again.

2362
02:07:34,840 --> 02:07:34,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

2363
02:07:35,119 --> 02:07:37,720
Speaker 2: NFL informed all thirty two teams today in a memo

2364
02:07:37,880 --> 02:07:40,520
that it prevailed in its grievance versus the NFL Players

2365
02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:44,359
Association and its team report cards an arbitrary to determine

2366
02:07:44,359 --> 02:07:47,800
that the nflpa's conduct violated the CBA in order to

2367
02:07:47,840 --> 02:07:50,560
stop making public any future report cards. Yeah, I mean,

2368
02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:53,520
if there's something collectively bargained that there's some rule of

2369
02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:56,119
the CBA in theory. I don't disagree with you. There

2370
02:07:56,119 --> 02:07:57,840
just must be something in there that says, hey, there's

2371
02:07:57,840 --> 02:08:01,279
some information that needs to stay in house. I wonder

2372
02:08:01,319 --> 02:08:04,079
what language is in the CBA. Oh you know what,

2373
02:08:04,159 --> 02:08:06,279
let's have you read the legal brief on this, Matt

2374
02:08:08,079 --> 02:08:10,079
kind of it after the show. No, you gotta do

2375
02:08:10,119 --> 02:08:13,720
it right now. Oh, there's a long memo that Adam

2376
02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:20,039
Schefter attached to it. Oh my god, you can ask

2377
02:08:20,439 --> 02:08:24,039
to summarize it for you now. They report cards for

2378
02:08:24,119 --> 02:08:29,000
the Texans last year and the coach A on the

2379
02:08:29,079 --> 02:08:32,039
owner and the food be on the travel, B plus

2380
02:08:32,039 --> 02:08:34,399
in the weight room, and B minus in the treatment

2381
02:08:34,399 --> 02:08:37,640
of family. Wouldn't you want to know if your players

2382
02:08:37,680 --> 02:08:41,760
think you have crappy facilities? All they do know they're

2383
02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:45,760
not stopping the report cards to be published. Well, I mean,

2384
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:48,359
I guess that's something, But I think you should be

2385
02:08:48,359 --> 02:08:51,439
publicly a shamed if you have bad facilities. Well, the

2386
02:08:51,520 --> 02:08:56,960
jetlier's gonna be Arizona disagrees with you. Bridgeland is going

2387
02:08:57,039 --> 02:09:03,600
to be great. Yeah. Uh, we're gonna have to take

2388
02:09:03,680 --> 02:09:06,560
like a like a road trip to Bridgeland. Graduate at

2389
02:09:06,560 --> 02:09:08,840
the office drive up there, we eat some mid mid

2390
02:09:08,840 --> 02:09:11,800
food and look at the new facilities with all the

2391
02:09:11,800 --> 02:09:20,880
flag football fields. I'm good, all right, he's a carpool.

2392
02:09:21,039 --> 02:09:23,399
He's gonna need apartment up there. I think he's gonna

2393
02:09:23,439 --> 02:09:25,119
move to Wexer family to Britain. You don't need the

2394
02:09:25,159 --> 02:09:30,079
Wes Wexler Expressway. He's a direct line to the studios here.

2395
02:09:30,600 --> 02:09:32,720
I can just tell you. Listen seeing him yesterday before

2396
02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:35,199
we left, he was not happy about this. No, he's

2397
02:09:35,199 --> 02:09:40,079
got to go cover practice. Well, thank you. My inside

2398
02:09:40,119 --> 02:09:42,239
of work has done on the phones, on text and

2399
02:09:42,279 --> 02:09:47,760
tweets and the channels. No what I trust wex all right,

2400
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:50,159
we Wexton tell you about Joe Mixon not playing this

2401
02:09:50,239 --> 02:09:53,359
ad all well, you are losing your title forever. If

2402
02:09:53,359 --> 02:09:56,039
it comes on nothing about him getting shot in the foot,

2403
02:09:56,880 --> 02:09:59,960
I've already lost. It's a botch prescedure. Well we'll see.

2404
02:10:00,279 --> 02:10:03,439
And now I will take the coffee and I will

2405
02:10:03,439 --> 02:10:05,760
allow you to. I mean, I'm gonna dispute you being

2406
02:10:05,800 --> 02:10:11,199
the Texans Insider, but I'm gonna fully and more wholeheartedly

2407
02:10:11,840 --> 02:10:16,079
dispute your Texans Insider claims. If you lose this Joe

2408
02:10:16,079 --> 02:10:18,159
Mixon bet for sure, for sure, and something comes take

2409
02:10:18,199 --> 02:10:21,039
a small amendment to the Joe Mixon bed. Let me

2410
02:10:21,119 --> 02:10:24,399
explain it. All you have to say is no.

2411
02:10:24,399 --> 02:10:24,600
Speaker 5: Now.

2412
02:10:25,279 --> 02:10:30,279
Speaker 2: Nick Casara said, there's nothing salacious to it, nothing irresponsible,

2413
02:10:30,319 --> 02:10:34,319
nothing irresponsible. Can I have anything irresponsible and win the bet?

2414
02:10:34,479 --> 02:10:35,199
Speaker 3: No? What?

2415
02:10:35,600 --> 02:10:35,680
Speaker 5: No?

2416
02:10:36,159 --> 02:10:38,960
Speaker 2: I must take a gunshot wounded the foot. You said

2417
02:10:39,399 --> 02:10:42,840
he shot himself in the foot. No, that's when I

2418
02:10:42,880 --> 02:10:45,520
heard on the streets. I didn't say. You weren't on

2419
02:10:45,560 --> 02:10:49,119
any streets. You don't know that they're not. They're not

2420
02:10:49,159 --> 02:10:51,600
talking about that at the Beverly Hilton or whatever you're staying.

2421
02:10:52,520 --> 02:10:54,640
I was in Centerville yesterday. A guy come says, hey,

2422
02:10:54,720 --> 02:10:57,319
listen show all the time, Sorry to hear about Jonah's foot. No,

2423
02:10:57,439 --> 02:10:59,720
you're a liar. It's the gunshot woundows. This is one

2424
02:10:59,720 --> 02:11:02,880
of your seventeen Last a Day one fifteen of the

2425
02:11:02,880 --> 02:11:05,199
Matt Thomas Show with Ross and this is Sports Talk

2426
02:11:05,239 --> 02:11:11,600
seven ninety story about the report cards not being allowed.

2427
02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:15,840
The team that apparently spearheaded it was the New York

2428
02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:18,560
Jets who got fs mainly the last couple of years.

2429
02:11:18,680 --> 02:11:24,399
Whatdy Johnson did not one is dirty launder aired. That's

2430
02:11:24,439 --> 02:11:27,600
pretty funny. Okay, real quick, before we get to our

2431
02:11:27,640 --> 02:11:30,000
non Flora stories today, and we look forward to having

2432
02:11:30,000 --> 02:11:31,399
that for you in the next segment of the show.

2433
02:11:32,039 --> 02:11:37,560
So officially, yesterday, the Major League Baseball folks announced the

2434
02:11:37,640 --> 02:11:40,800
rules for the ABS, the Automatic Ball Strikes Challenge system.

2435
02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:43,399
I'm gonna run through some of them. This is the

2436
02:11:43,439 --> 02:11:46,119
report that I got from Jesse Rodgers from ESPN and

2437
02:11:46,199 --> 02:11:47,840
just Ross. You come in if you'd like to on

2438
02:11:47,880 --> 02:11:53,239
each one of them. If a team, let's make sure

2439
02:11:53,239 --> 02:11:54,199
we get this right. I want to put this in

2440
02:11:54,199 --> 02:11:56,840
a timing order here. If a team enters extra innings

2441
02:11:56,840 --> 02:12:00,199
without a challenge, they'll be given an extra one every inning,

2442
02:12:01,079 --> 02:12:04,479
every inning, every inning. The challenges will not accumulate if

2443
02:12:04,520 --> 02:12:06,359
not used, so we're not gonna have like nine of

2444
02:12:06,359 --> 02:12:08,640
them in the third. That's good, and I'll keep them

2445
02:12:08,680 --> 02:12:11,239
in your back pocket for the fifteenth. That's right. Teams

2446
02:12:11,279 --> 02:12:13,800
will never have more than one challenge per extra inning

2447
02:12:13,920 --> 02:12:17,399
unless they entered extra frames with their original too intact. Okay,

2448
02:12:17,439 --> 02:12:19,119
so you get to bring them carry them over if

2449
02:12:19,159 --> 02:12:21,840
you didn't use them during the game. So these are

2450
02:12:21,880 --> 02:12:28,520
two per game, okay. Umpires will be given discretion on

2451
02:12:28,640 --> 02:12:31,399
plays that happen on the bases, even when a pitch

2452
02:12:31,479 --> 02:12:36,159
is being challenged. For example, the outcome of a stolen

2453
02:12:36,199 --> 02:12:38,640
base attempt is likely to stand no matter the outcome

2454
02:12:38,640 --> 02:12:41,119
of the challenge. With a loan exception coming on a

2455
02:12:41,119 --> 02:12:43,720
ball four or a strike three call that is overturned

2456
02:12:45,159 --> 02:12:48,079
if the umpire deems player behavior and he put that

2457
02:12:48,159 --> 02:12:50,840
and they put that in quotes, has been impacted. For example,

2458
02:12:51,159 --> 02:12:54,159
if the catcher stops playing because he fears ball four

2459
02:12:54,159 --> 02:12:57,079
and the calls overturned, he might send the runner back

2460
02:12:57,119 --> 02:12:59,439
to his original base and the stolen base won't count.

2461
02:12:59,600 --> 02:13:01,720
That's going to be fun having subjective world on that.

2462
02:13:02,439 --> 02:13:07,880
That's gonna be interesting. Hmmm. A pitch may not be

2463
02:13:08,039 --> 02:13:10,720
challenged if a position player is pitching. That's good because

2464
02:13:10,720 --> 02:13:12,279
if you've got a position player in the game's out

2465
02:13:12,279 --> 02:13:17,760
of hand, it is positive that it's possible for both

2466
02:13:17,800 --> 02:13:20,680
an ABS challenge and a video replay challenge occur on

2467
02:13:20,720 --> 02:13:24,119
the same play. If that happens, the ball strike call

2468
02:13:24,119 --> 02:13:26,760
will be adjusted first, followed by a video replay on

2469
02:13:26,840 --> 02:13:33,960
the basis say that again, Oh and I got rid

2470
02:13:33,960 --> 02:13:37,039
of it. Okay, sorry, we'll forget it. It's okay, we

2471
02:13:37,119 --> 02:13:41,279
can move on. Yeah, sorry, we can give you a

2472
02:13:41,479 --> 02:13:44,359
Do you want a Men's Free Skate Update. No, but

2473
02:13:44,399 --> 02:13:46,439
I want to make sure everybody knows. According to this,

2474
02:13:46,640 --> 02:13:50,960
you get two initial challenges per game to review pitch

2475
02:13:51,279 --> 02:13:54,039
location via the scoreboard. And from what Joe A Spot

2476
02:13:54,039 --> 02:13:56,359
had told us, he's gonna let the hitters do it

2477
02:13:56,680 --> 02:13:58,399
and the catchers and the pitchers are gonna be told

2478
02:13:58,600 --> 02:14:03,439
not to bother because it feels like the sentiment we

2479
02:14:03,560 --> 02:14:06,560
got was that every pitcher thinks that every pitch they

2480
02:14:06,560 --> 02:14:10,840
throws a strike, yes, and they're further away. They're sixty

2481
02:14:11,119 --> 02:14:16,079
feet in six inches away. The average review this is

2482
02:14:16,119 --> 02:14:20,239
according to Google, which again Google Ai, you got the

2483
02:14:20,279 --> 02:14:24,800
gymini going yeah, yeah, okay. The average or two review

2484
02:14:24,840 --> 02:14:31,439
takes less than fifteen seconds. That's good, great, that's really good.

2485
02:14:33,319 --> 02:14:36,199
If the challenge is successful, the team retains their challenge.

2486
02:14:36,239 --> 02:14:37,640
If they fail, they lose it. So you can be

2487
02:14:37,680 --> 02:14:39,359
sitting there with two for quite a bit of time.

2488
02:14:39,399 --> 02:14:41,159
You keep challenging. And that's the thing I keep saying

2489
02:14:41,159 --> 02:14:42,560
about the NBA, which I wish they would do, but

2490
02:14:42,560 --> 02:14:46,439
they're not going to do that. It's shameful that an

2491
02:14:46,479 --> 02:14:49,319
obvious call you have to burn a challenge because an

2492
02:14:49,359 --> 02:14:52,039
official is out of position or just goofs the call up,

2493
02:14:52,159 --> 02:14:55,079
you know, it's even more shameful. Yeah, they can get

2494
02:14:55,119 --> 02:15:02,560
every call right, every a single call they can get right.

2495
02:15:03,600 --> 02:15:07,760
They can do it. They're installing the technology everywhere. How

2496
02:15:07,800 --> 02:15:10,279
about this, I don't know if you're ever gonna get it, ross,

2497
02:15:10,319 --> 02:15:12,800
I would lean towards you never gonna get it, stupid,

2498
02:15:13,479 --> 02:15:16,279
but listen to me. But if they can streamline it

2499
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:20,399
where it's an average of five seconds, then you got

2500
02:15:20,399 --> 02:15:24,479
a better chance. The the the faster these challenges come

2501
02:15:24,520 --> 02:15:27,800
into play, the more fluid there's no app you know,

2502
02:15:27,920 --> 02:15:30,720
then I think they will experiment some more. No, they

2503
02:15:30,720 --> 02:15:32,920
said no. We had the minor leaguers on. They said

2504
02:15:32,920 --> 02:15:35,520
it was basically instantaneous when when they get the full

2505
02:15:35,560 --> 02:15:38,600
system going. But you have to convince a large segment

2506
02:15:38,600 --> 02:15:40,560
of the population that this is gonna work. And that's

2507
02:15:40,600 --> 02:15:43,439
the players. We can't. We can't get unified on that.

2508
02:15:44,359 --> 02:15:46,920
I know it was. We interview how many different pictures,

2509
02:15:46,960 --> 02:15:48,960
like three or four. They all had different opinions. They

2510
02:15:49,039 --> 02:15:51,760
all had different opinions. Arrogated, didn't like it, doesn't like it.

2511
02:15:51,800 --> 02:15:55,039
I can't remember. Brandon Walter, I think, was on board

2512
02:15:55,039 --> 02:15:57,039
with it. One guy said, either do it all the

2513
02:15:57,039 --> 02:15:59,159
way or yeah, none of it, which I agree with

2514
02:15:59,159 --> 02:16:01,359
that too. It's kind of half from your half stepping

2515
02:16:01,520 --> 02:16:03,880
let's go. But maybe this is hopefully the bridge to

2516
02:16:03,920 --> 02:16:07,359
full time abs What was it? What was then the

2517
02:16:07,399 --> 02:16:09,600
amount of calls missed last year? Was it ten thousand

2518
02:16:09,640 --> 02:16:12,079
or more? Too many? Every night umpire scorecard was a

2519
02:16:12,079 --> 02:16:14,279
painful look at what if you could get to from

2520
02:16:14,319 --> 02:16:21,640
ten thousand miscalls to zero? Would that be crazy? I

2521
02:16:21,680 --> 02:16:24,600
guess you are. You are believing that every single call

2522
02:16:24,720 --> 02:16:26,720
to the video would work, that would be one hundred

2523
02:16:26,720 --> 02:16:28,800
percent accurate, no matter what how call the player was,

2524
02:16:28,880 --> 02:16:31,119
or or guess what, it's going to be better than

2525
02:16:31,119 --> 02:16:36,559
what we have, even though let's say there's what's there's

2526
02:16:36,559 --> 02:16:40,840
one hundred misscalls. What's our success rating right now? Ninety something? Yeah?

2527
02:16:40,879 --> 02:16:42,840
What if you got to ninety nine point nine percent?

2528
02:16:46,399 --> 02:16:52,280
I don't know. I'm pretty satisfied now I'll say this.

2529
02:16:52,360 --> 02:16:54,079
There is a byproduct of this. Remember when I was

2530
02:16:54,280 --> 02:16:56,479
told to you when I first graduated from high school,

2531
02:16:56,920 --> 02:16:58,719
I made a mistake. I went directly to college where

2532
02:16:58,719 --> 02:17:03,399
I should have gone to umpiring school. Yes, not a mistake,

2533
02:17:03,440 --> 02:17:05,319
a regret I should have I should have delivered it,

2534
02:17:05,360 --> 02:17:07,120
but I didn't know anything else to do but to

2535
02:17:07,120 --> 02:17:09,479
go to college right after high school. I should have

2536
02:17:09,479 --> 02:17:11,760
gone to an umpiring school. They have an umpiring school.

2537
02:17:11,799 --> 02:17:14,680
Harry Wendelstad was a longtime Major League umpire. His son

2538
02:17:14,760 --> 02:17:19,360
still umpire's hunter, And uh, they're closing their school down.

2539
02:17:20,520 --> 02:17:23,879
Major League Baseball now is going to now run their

2540
02:17:23,959 --> 02:17:30,159
umpiring academies because they're teaching this new crop of umpires,

2541
02:17:30,200 --> 02:17:32,159
the ones that are eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old that

2542
02:17:32,239 --> 02:17:34,879
want to become umpires. That technology is going to be

2543
02:17:34,879 --> 02:17:36,840
a bigger part of it. So as much as you

2544
02:17:36,879 --> 02:17:38,840
want to say that baseball still is behind the times

2545
02:17:38,840 --> 02:17:41,479
when it comes to this, they're basically saying we need

2546
02:17:41,520 --> 02:17:43,520
to do a better job of using the technology that

2547
02:17:43,559 --> 02:17:47,319
we have in teaching the future umpires of tomorrow. That

2548
02:17:47,479 --> 02:17:50,319
this is now in play. So look, I know it's

2549
02:17:50,319 --> 02:17:52,520
not the leaps and bounds you're looking for. Twenty six,

2550
02:17:53,280 --> 02:17:56,079
five hundred and sixty seven calls missed during the regular

2551
02:17:56,120 --> 02:18:01,360
season out of how many, I don't know, twenty six thousand,

2552
02:18:01,479 --> 02:18:04,879
five hundred and sixty seven misscalls and according to ASTRA,

2553
02:18:04,879 --> 02:18:07,559
resulting in twelve hundred and twenty five thousand were against

2554
02:18:07,559 --> 02:18:12,639
the Astro twelve hundred and three incorrect strikeouts. Twelve hundred

2555
02:18:12,639 --> 02:18:16,280
and three incorrect strikeouts. The ab should still be going

2556
02:18:16,319 --> 02:18:22,920
and the player is sitting down. I'm gonna take the

2557
02:18:23,000 --> 02:18:25,879
wins we can get them. I'll take me some abs

2558
02:18:25,879 --> 02:18:27,959
this year and keep the challenge system where we gets

2559
02:18:28,000 --> 02:18:29,920
it right. You get you know what, you can literally

2560
02:18:29,920 --> 02:18:30,799
go on and on and on.

2561
02:18:33,440 --> 02:18:33,600
Speaker 5: You know.

2562
02:18:33,639 --> 02:18:35,319
Speaker 2: It's also gonna do ross. I think it's gonna make

2563
02:18:35,319 --> 02:18:38,040
the umpires better, I would think, because they don't want

2564
02:18:38,040 --> 02:18:44,639
to be amas've gotten better. Yeah, they're good, they're good.

2565
02:18:44,680 --> 02:18:46,760
They're gonna be better. This is gonna be a little

2566
02:18:46,760 --> 02:18:48,600
bit what we'll wake up call of the guys that

2567
02:18:48,799 --> 02:18:50,760
just kind of just get behind the plate and they

2568
02:18:50,799 --> 02:18:52,760
don't like lollygag, but they're gonna have to be a

2569
02:18:52,760 --> 02:18:55,280
little more laser focused. I think it's embarrassing when you

2570
02:18:55,319 --> 02:18:58,840
get a call like that wrong, it's correct depending on

2571
02:18:58,879 --> 02:19:01,479
the sources you look at. Let's talk to Lull before

2572
02:19:01,479 --> 02:19:02,680
we get to our non Florida stories.

2573
02:19:02,719 --> 02:19:06,520
Speaker 17: Hello, Lull, Yeah, I was just happened to be studying

2574
02:19:06,520 --> 02:19:10,559
this while you started discussing it, and they were mentioning

2575
02:19:10,600 --> 02:19:14,399
that they're measuring the players for their individual strike zones,

2576
02:19:15,079 --> 02:19:17,319
and I don't know if they did that in the

2577
02:19:17,360 --> 02:19:21,360
minor leagues, but if a smaller player like Altov at

2578
02:19:21,399 --> 02:19:23,760
five ft six versus Judge of six.

2579
02:19:23,840 --> 02:19:26,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going to have the same strike zone.

2580
02:19:26,319 --> 02:19:29,000
Speaker 17: Yeah, so they're going to have a smaller strike zone

2581
02:19:29,040 --> 02:19:30,559
and a picture. You're going to have a lot harder

2582
02:19:30,600 --> 02:19:33,600
time hitting an Altov strike zone than he would have

2583
02:19:33,680 --> 02:19:34,799
Judge strike zone.

2584
02:19:35,440 --> 02:19:36,479
Speaker 5: And knowledge of.

2585
02:19:36,479 --> 02:19:40,200
Speaker 17: That would make it maybe smart to put al t

2586
02:19:40,360 --> 02:19:43,200
V and lead off if he could learn how to

2587
02:19:43,200 --> 02:19:45,000
be a little bit more selective than he is.

2588
02:19:45,239 --> 02:19:46,000
Speaker 5: That's my thoughts.

2589
02:19:46,159 --> 02:19:47,280
Speaker 17: That's all I was saying.

2590
02:19:47,799 --> 02:19:52,840
Speaker 2: All Right, thanks, thanks for the phone call, Alight, would

2591
02:19:52,879 --> 02:19:53,479
you say something else?

2592
02:19:53,559 --> 02:19:53,719
Speaker 11: Long?

2593
02:19:55,719 --> 02:20:00,360
Speaker 2: No, okay, Loules done. Yeah. I mean the the number

2594
02:20:00,360 --> 02:20:03,079
one thing I've always worried about Ross's calibration, and I

2595
02:20:03,120 --> 02:20:04,680
guess the question would be how long would it take

2596
02:20:04,680 --> 02:20:06,520
to calibrad if you were to do every single pitch.

2597
02:20:07,399 --> 02:20:10,159
They have to calibrate everything. They do it every batter. Yeah,

2598
02:20:10,200 --> 02:20:14,920
so they they'll figure it out. Darren, Judge and jose

2599
02:20:14,959 --> 02:20:17,840
Al TV aren't gonna have the same strike zone. We're

2600
02:20:17,840 --> 02:20:19,559
gonna love it though, we are gonna love abs in

2601
02:20:19,600 --> 02:20:21,360
twenty twenty six, I can I can give you as

2602
02:20:21,360 --> 02:20:23,760
a gut feeling, we're gonna love it. There's gonna be controversies.

2603
02:20:24,200 --> 02:20:26,000
Are you really think what would be then? In your mind?

2604
02:20:27,520 --> 02:20:30,319
It just feels like somebody's gonna run out of challenges

2605
02:20:30,399 --> 02:20:32,280
and all like there's gonna be They're gonna be out

2606
02:20:32,319 --> 02:20:35,479
of challenges. There's gonna be an egregious bad call, and

2607
02:20:35,520 --> 02:20:38,280
they're gonna want more. Now I'll say this. I I

2608
02:20:38,440 --> 02:20:41,719
loved when instant replay could determine pass interference in the NFL,

2609
02:20:41,840 --> 02:20:44,319
and then they just growed it up even worse, So

2610
02:20:44,360 --> 02:20:46,760
maybe I should Yeah, that was something that's very subjective.

2611
02:20:46,760 --> 02:20:49,280
This is gonna be much less subjective. That's right, all right.

2612
02:20:49,319 --> 02:20:51,159
Non Florida stories are up next. It is the Matt

No alligator trails, but something that will.

Speaker 3: Make you smile.

2624
02:21:54,760 --> 02:22:01,520
Speaker 2: Nowhere gentlemin I will first on this week's edition Non

2625
02:22:01,559 --> 02:22:05,239
Florida Stories. We're going to go to France. Ross. Okay,

2626
02:22:05,280 --> 02:22:10,600
what's going on over there? A hospital there was evacuated

2627
02:22:12,760 --> 02:22:18,000
really yeah, after a male patient.

2628
02:22:20,479 --> 02:22:27,079
Speaker 19: Arrived with a World War One artillery shell lodged in

2629
02:22:27,159 --> 02:22:31,879
his backside.

2630
02:22:32,520 --> 02:22:35,040
Speaker 2: Okay. The young man was twenty four years of age.

2631
02:22:36,479 --> 02:22:38,879
The poor fellow, according to the report, was in a

2632
02:22:38,920 --> 02:22:44,559
state of extreme discomfort, having inserted a large object in

2633
02:22:44,600 --> 02:22:51,559
an area. Surgeons conduct an emergency surgery, during which they

2634
02:22:51,600 --> 02:22:55,600
discovered the shocking source of his pain, a live eight

2635
02:22:55,719 --> 02:23:03,040
inch bombshell from nineteen eighteen that had been inside of him.

2636
02:23:03,079 --> 02:23:07,719
Fearing a potential fire in the hospital, medical personnel alerted

2637
02:23:07,719 --> 02:23:16,040
the bomb squad and fire brigade and evacuated the facility. Fortunately,

2638
02:23:16,959 --> 02:23:20,680
this retro munition, which was also pointed an over an

2639
02:23:20,680 --> 02:23:26,159
inch wide, was not deemed a threat. The bomb disposal

2640
02:23:26,239 --> 02:23:31,639
experts took the shell after it was removed, while the patient,

2641
02:23:31,719 --> 02:23:34,239
a French national, remained at the hospital, so he could

2642
02:23:34,239 --> 02:23:38,920
recover from surgery. It is unclear how the antique ordinance

2643
02:23:39,639 --> 02:23:42,840
ended up in the man's posterior, but experts suspected the

2644
02:23:42,840 --> 02:23:45,760
combustible could have been the result of a party stunt

2645
02:23:46,040 --> 02:23:51,440
gone wrong, springing a whole new meaning to the words

2646
02:23:51,799 --> 02:23:59,040
trench warfare. Shells such as the one found and this

2647
02:23:59,079 --> 02:24:02,159
is the story, not mine their story. Shells found in

2648
02:24:02,200 --> 02:24:04,079
the one and the Man's bum were used during the

2649
02:24:04,120 --> 02:24:07,319
First World War by the Imperial German Army, which deployed

2650
02:24:07,360 --> 02:24:09,760
one hundreds of thousands against the British and French between

2651
02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:14,520
nineteen fourteen and nineteen eighteen. The explosives, which are date stamped,

2652
02:24:14,559 --> 02:24:18,280
regularly turn up during the quote Iron Harvest, the annual

2653
02:24:18,280 --> 02:24:21,840
collection of often unexploding munitions from both World Wars which are

2654
02:24:21,840 --> 02:24:26,799
found on farmland, building sites at other disruptive land and

2655
02:24:26,879 --> 02:24:30,000
while a person's backside might not be thee a strange

2656
02:24:30,000 --> 02:24:33,120
location for one of them to surface. Shockingly, this wasn't

2657
02:24:33,120 --> 02:24:37,159
the first at a French hospital wow. In twenty twenty two,

2658
02:24:37,840 --> 02:24:41,360
a man eighty eight year old man arrived with a

2659
02:24:41,360 --> 02:24:46,000
World War and tillery shell summlarly lodged in that area

2660
02:24:47,079 --> 02:24:50,840
and that is my non Florida story. It's a real

2661
02:24:50,959 --> 02:24:57,799
no man's land. God, I hope not. I think I'm

2662
02:24:57,840 --> 02:24:59,920
out of World War one references Battle of the Somme.

2663
02:25:00,200 --> 02:25:02,120
It was a battle. Get better, thank you. If I

2664
02:25:02,120 --> 02:25:03,840
had more time to think about material would be more.

2665
02:25:03,920 --> 02:25:04,280
Speaker 9: D day.

2666
02:25:04,319 --> 02:25:10,360
Speaker 2: That was World War two? Boys?

2667
02:25:10,520 --> 02:25:10,920
Speaker 3: Your turn?

2668
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:12,719
Speaker 2: What was the Treaty of the Versailles? I can't remember?

2669
02:25:12,760 --> 02:25:15,799
All right, anyway, let's move on. There's a lot of

2670
02:25:15,840 --> 02:25:17,559
verside treaties. Who knows?

2671
02:25:18,680 --> 02:25:19,040
Speaker 14: Uh?

2672
02:25:19,120 --> 02:25:20,799
Speaker 2: You want me to go? I'll go now. I've had

2673
02:25:20,840 --> 02:25:22,920
some explosive situations in my life. Oh, here we go,

2674
02:25:23,440 --> 02:25:27,799
but not that. Go ahead, well, Matt Heroin tale from

2675
02:25:27,799 --> 02:25:32,360
the Winter Olympics in Cortina where you were asking about

2676
02:25:32,399 --> 02:25:36,079
the Olympic village and how much copulating was happening there.

2677
02:25:37,799 --> 02:25:40,399
I know you're you're going to be shaken by this story, Matt.

2678
02:25:41,079 --> 02:25:45,159
A condom shortage has hit the Whimper Winter Olympic Village,

2679
02:25:45,959 --> 02:25:49,479
as supplies have vanished in Cortina in just three days,

2680
02:25:52,440 --> 02:25:58,040
according to the Italian newspaper La Stampa. Condoms, of course,

2681
02:25:58,079 --> 02:26:01,079
have been distributed to Olympians since the nineteen eighty eight

2682
02:26:01,239 --> 02:26:03,920
Soul Games, which of course happened at the height of

2683
02:26:03,920 --> 02:26:10,079
the AIDS pandemic right normally. For example, in Paris in

2684
02:26:10,120 --> 02:26:13,520
twenty twenty four, three hundred thousand condoms were distributed in

2685
02:26:13,559 --> 02:26:15,680
the twenty sixteen Real Olympics. So do you know you

2686
02:26:15,719 --> 02:26:18,200
really get down in Brazil, Matt Four hundred and fifty

2687
02:26:18,440 --> 02:26:23,200
thousand condoms were distributed in those Olympics. In Italy, they

2688
02:26:23,200 --> 02:26:28,600
did not plan well. Only ten thousand condoms distributed, and

2689
02:26:28,639 --> 02:26:33,840
they blew through their supply. I don't know how to

2690
02:26:33,840 --> 02:26:40,879
word this, but they in just three days, an anonymous

2691
02:26:41,280 --> 02:26:44,879
competitor said, quote, those supplies ran out in three days.

2692
02:26:44,920 --> 02:26:48,680
They promised more will come, but who knows when. I'm sorry,

2693
02:26:48,719 --> 02:26:50,879
more will arrive. Excuse me, I miss read? What did

2694
02:26:50,920 --> 02:26:57,600
you just sorry? No, I misspoke more more, more, but

2695
02:26:57,680 --> 02:27:02,840
who knows when. So let's put things in perspective. I

2696
02:27:02,920 --> 02:27:05,520
think this is more bit than it is more action.

2697
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:08,639
What do you mean? I bet you guys are going

2698
02:27:08,680 --> 02:27:11,399
in there and girls are like taking twenty or thirty

2699
02:27:11,399 --> 02:27:14,399
condoms and bringing them home with them. You're not having

2700
02:27:14,440 --> 02:27:18,879
that much ten There are not ten thousand sexual experiences.

2701
02:27:18,959 --> 02:27:20,920
The win Olympics have been going on for about a

2702
02:27:20,920 --> 02:27:24,559
week a week and a half. There's fourteen thousand athletes, Matt,

2703
02:27:25,159 --> 02:27:26,799
but they all don't live in one area. They're all

2704
02:27:26,840 --> 02:27:30,319
spread out. Fourteen thousand of the highest tuned athletes in

2705
02:27:30,360 --> 02:27:35,639
the planet condoms with them before, and they're all very charged. Yeah,

2706
02:27:35,680 --> 02:27:39,559
I'm sure everybody's got their preferences right. Well, if they're

2707
02:27:39,600 --> 02:27:41,879
for her pleasure for yours, that's really that's a question

2708
02:27:41,920 --> 02:27:48,200
between you and her. I know I'm calling that. While

2709
02:27:48,239 --> 02:27:50,959
there is probably some activity, I bet you there are

2710
02:27:50,959 --> 02:27:52,760
people that are going in there because they think it's

2711
02:27:52,760 --> 02:27:56,559
funny and they're grabbing a paper back to the well,

2712
02:27:56,600 --> 02:27:59,680
there's somebody getting down because they're out, Matt. They don't

2713
02:27:59,680 --> 02:28:03,760
dorey three hundred thousand condoms just for for bleeps and giggles.

2714
02:28:04,360 --> 02:28:07,280
I mean, how much does that cost? That's that's a

2715
02:28:07,280 --> 02:28:11,799
significant portion of the Olympic budget. I imagine, Matt. What

2716
02:28:11,840 --> 02:28:16,719
does an average coundom cost? It depends on what pack

2717
02:28:16,760 --> 02:28:19,840
you get? Yeah, Matt, which pack do you guys get?

2718
02:28:19,840 --> 02:28:23,280
You're getting the variety pack? What do you mean by

2719
02:28:23,280 --> 02:28:27,319
a variety like the one size somewhat fit all. No,

2720
02:28:27,520 --> 02:28:33,600
there's different ones you get get smaller. Is that the

2721
02:28:33,639 --> 02:28:36,840
most embarrassing thing. Anyways, all right, let's move on, John

2722
02:28:37,000 --> 02:28:38,360
What do you got this week? You have to go

2723
02:28:38,399 --> 02:28:40,680
to Walgreens and check out. You gotta do the self

2724
02:28:40,760 --> 02:28:46,520
checkout then right, okay, if you get the if you

2725
02:28:46,520 --> 02:28:50,000
get the extra ones, the ones that are ever x

2726
02:28:50,319 --> 02:28:52,799
x XL, then you're like, yeah, I'm gonna show. Yeah,

2727
02:28:52,840 --> 02:28:55,719
that's when you go, right, and then some of those

2728
02:28:55,760 --> 02:28:58,040
can cause divorces. Remember half you go, you should go

2729
02:28:58,040 --> 02:29:01,360
and make a thud on the counter. He said, all right,

2730
02:29:01,760 --> 02:29:04,680
that's that's then you're suspended. That's going to cost you

2731
02:29:04,799 --> 02:29:11,680
there too. Thought I'm like, oh my god, Johnson, Okay,

2732
02:29:11,799 --> 02:29:16,319
you're all right, all right mine' from the Alaska.

2733
02:29:16,360 --> 02:29:20,000
Speaker 15: At the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, master student Nick Dwyer

2734
02:29:20,239 --> 02:29:23,440
submitted one hundred and sixty images made through collaboration with

2735
02:29:23,520 --> 02:29:25,920
AI to an art show The sun Star reported on

2736
02:29:26,000 --> 02:29:30,840
January fourteenth. Dwyer said his work explored identity, character, narrative creation,

2737
02:29:31,120 --> 02:29:35,479
and creating or crafting false memories of relationships after a

2738
02:29:35,520 --> 02:29:40,440
state of AI psychosis. Fellow student Graham Granger nineteen wasn't

2739
02:29:40,440 --> 02:29:43,799
