00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,679
dudes on dudes, I'm not gonna be happy about it.

7

Slip that right now, right clip.

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,679
Speaker 2: It for the thickest, biggest I've ever seen in my

9
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:32,399
entire life. I literally had my vertebrae sore for like

10
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:34,359
a half an hour. I mean, I guess you know

11
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:36,840
what I could do walking bets. That's gonna be a

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,039
jiggle we don't want to see. I'll let you be

13
00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:41,320
my status bitch if you want to sometimes someday I

14
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:43,240
would love to. I can't do it one day a year.

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,960
Come on, I'll give it to you one day a

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,359
year and clip that, or just have to suck it

17
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:50,159
up and go. You know what? He sucks that. He's

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,119
our suck guy, Turkey Trutton, and he's found a woman

19
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,960
that makes him run gobble gobble. Care what they do

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,200
in their bedroom? I got it may be a best

21
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,640
of that last one. Yes, I thought the vertebrae one

22
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:09,280
was the best of can I can I request to

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,239
hear that with I don't even remember this. What was

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,480
the context on this? It was the sorry speed bumps

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,319
at Summer Creek and speed bumps.

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,879
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so you manipulated that one a little bit.

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah this wasn't do it again. We're the thickest, biggest

28
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:30,000
I've ever seen in my entire life.

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,359
Speaker 3: I literally had my vertebrae sore for like a half

30
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,760
an hour. Okay, you took speed bumps out. Yeah, okay, it.

31
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: Was a little like dirty pool, but that's okay, no, no, no,

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:48,480
we fully encouraged that everything game. It's anything goes Friday.

00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:39,240

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,000
Sunday after I did Monday and Wednesday, so we're basically

49
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:43,319
splitting duties at this point.

50
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:47,319
Speaker 2: Nice, Nice, all right. It isn't anything goes Friday, as

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,400
is the case every Friday we've had in the history

52
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,840

Speaker 3: Now we are on two hours earlier, but that doesn't

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,479
change the game. On a Friday, you can talk about

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,000

Of course, as matt has mentioned, the Rockets and the

63
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:26,280
Thunder will be playing tonight. Of course, we do have

64
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:30,800
the Houston Texans taking on the Detroit Lions. It's a

65
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:35,000
battle Red Sunday Sunday night football. We've been waiting all

66
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,000
day for Sunday Night. I'm excited for the Texans to

67
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,400
be on a national stage and hopefully they don't embarrass

68
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,840
the city of Houston like they did on Prime Video

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,639
a Thursday ago.

70
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:46,599
Speaker 2: Uh. In the uniforms that were in the red helmets,

71
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:48,159
the red pants, I believe they're gonna go with the

72
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:50,719
red tops. Those look very good. Those are my probably

73
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:52,919
my favorite of everything. Yeah. I like the all battle

74
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:55,400
reds and I like those battle red helmets as well. Yeah,

75
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:59,120
everything else the Texans were and I know, I'll I'm

76
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:02,599
just a real everything else looks like the Atlanta Falcons

77
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:08,360
this these will be definitely Houston Texans uniforms. I'm just saying, Okay,

78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,639
that's your opinion, man, And I don't think I'm buy

79
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:16,120
myself in this. I may not be the majority, but

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,000
I'm certainly the minority is a lot long bigger than

81
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,879
than like two percent. Put it that way, Okay, you

82
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:28,879
we can also talk about the Baltimore Ravens versus Cincinnati

83
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:31,600
Bengal Al Michaels finally woke up for a game and

84
00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:34,279
it was important and it was good. First of all,

85
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,439
that game was outstanding. Secondly, we gotta do something about

86
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:43,879
this officiating ROSSI where we oh, yes, not one but

87
00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:48,279
two miss calls on the very last play of the game.

88
00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:53,600
And it feels like to me and maybe just because

89
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,959
we're in the heat of the moment right now, the

90
00:04:56,079 --> 00:04:58,360
NFL officials are and maybe it's just because it's the

91
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:02,800
Thursday night games, we're getting some very bad miss calls.

92
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:07,240
Final play of the game. Uh, Cincinnati is gonna go

93
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:09,839
for the win after scoring a touchdown, go for the

94
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:11,600
two point win the game.

95
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

96
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: The quarterback, obviously Joe Burrell UH takes a snap, drops

97
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,279
back throws to the right corner incompletes the pass. The

98
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,519
tight end is it Josee or is it the second receivers?

99
00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:26,160
He a tight end or seem more like a second receiver?

100
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,759
Speaker 3: Goseki is a yeah, he well kind of both. He

101
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:31,839
He is their tight end, but eric all towards a

102
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,600
cl They like to run him in the slot, so

103
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:35,600
he is technically a tight end, but they like to

104
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:35,920
put him.

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: Use him as a slot receiver. Yeah, he's a really

106
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,439
he's like, he's a really big receiver. He was held

107
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,720
in the play. No if fans or butts. He was

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,000
one on the very last play of the game, the

109
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:48,879
very last play.

110
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: Watch what rewatch it? Rewatch it? He flops. He jumps

111
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,279
up and throws his arm up. It's a flop from Goseki.

112
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,879
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go look, yeah, we'll look.

113
00:05:59,079 --> 00:06:01,759
Speaker 3: Okay, Now he's held. He's held at the first at

114
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:03,279
the line of scrimmage, which you can do.

115
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: That's legal. Right, once the ball, right, you got five yards.

116
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:09,079
Once the ball leaves Burrow's hands, you have to let

117
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,079
go watch him. He just throws his arm up. But

118
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,000
it's kind of a flop to me. I'm okay with that.

119
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,879
No call, but Joe Burrow definitely gets hit on the face.

120
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,279
Joe Burrow got two face masking calls should have been

121
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:24,680
called against the Ravens now The first one didn't matter

122
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,920
because they want up scoring a touchdown anyway. The second one,

123
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,720
which was the final play of the game, he got

124
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,480
his face mask grabbed. That's that's another play. Now you've

125
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,959
got me inquisitive about the Gseki or whatever.

126
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: No, I'm with you because eyes last night I went

127
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:42,480
to my head hit the pillow, thinking Mike Gseki got

128
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,399
mauled out play. But when you watch the replay, he

129
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:47,639
gets chucked at the line of scrimmage, which is legal,

130
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:51,000
and then there's kind of a minor tug of the jersey,

131
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,959
which is also I believe legal within five yards, and

132
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,480
then he watches it he kind of flops. He pulls

133
00:06:56,519 --> 00:06:57,959
a soccer flop on that play.

134
00:06:58,399 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm gonna go back and look because the

135
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,120
I I'll be brutally honest with you, I did not

136
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:06,360
postgame shows do nothing for me. They had the officials

137
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,639
at Terry McCauley, I think works the Amazon broadcast, and

138
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,439
he said the exact same thing. Now, I want not

139
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,600
He's in the heat of the moment too, so I

140
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,639
don't know exactly it, but I'll you know, I will

141
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,399
do this because I'm I.

142
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: Will send it to you right now, Matthew.

143
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,279
Speaker 2: Okay, and you know what, I trust you. You're not

144
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:21,920
making it up.

145
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 5: No.

146
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, But at first, Blush, I'm with you. First Blush,

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,600
I was like that, how do they miss that? This

148
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,199
is ridiculous? But then a face masking was clearly a

149
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,680
face mask, absolutely clearly a face mask. But Gaski went

150
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:36,800
soccer flop. He went soccer flop. Well if he does,

151
00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:38,399
and he's the d of the week if he does that,

152
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:40,240
because I was getting ready to defend the Bengals in

153
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:45,680
that last play. And now, granted, Joe Burrow, he you know,

154
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,279
he get the face mask. There's nothing he can do

155
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:48,879
about that. And by the way, he's getting beat up.

156
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,360
I know we've got a lot of LSU fans that

157
00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:55,439
listen to the show. Rossie, Joe Burrow needs he needs

158
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,480
some help, just like C. J. Straw needs some help.

159
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:03,639
That kid's gonna get hit. He's anna survive a season. Yeah,

160
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,879
he has been. He was beating up. He was like

161
00:08:05,959 --> 00:08:08,920
holding his hand, his right his left hand I think

162
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,480
of righting hand or whatever it was, trying to pick

163
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:13,480
up his helmet. He looks like he's battered and bruised.

164
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,800
Now he's damn good. That was a damn good football game.

165
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:19,759
O great the a little bit of the third quarter,

166
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:26,120
in all the fourth quarter, those are hiighting unbelievable offenses.

167
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Just when you think Lamar Jackson's gonna take that step

168
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,159
back and it's gonna throw the untimely interception, which he

169
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:35,240
did throw one late in the game, but he led

170
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,679
a large drive and then Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow

171
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,720
looked like they were best friends. It was like Montana

172
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:45,919
to Rice all over again. That was finally a Thursday

173
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,759
night game. He sat back and went, damn, I want

174
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:50,799
more of that, because mostly these Thursday night games, not

175
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:52,559
every one of them, but most of them have sucked.

176
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 3: Yes, and we blame it because it's Thursday. Because of

177
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,840
the quality of the football, they don't have enough time

178
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,960
to recover. But I mean last night was an example.

179
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,120
If you put two really good teams on Thursday night football,

180
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,080
they can still perform and.

181
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:07,519
Speaker 2: Give you an entertaining game. And I still believe this,

182
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,240
and this may be a very small minutia thing. I

183
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,919
think the NFL would be smart to keep the travel

184
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,159
for the road team to be within like an hour

185
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,279
hour and a half tops. I don't think it does

186
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:20,159
any favors for the Texans to have to get on

187
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,120
a plane and get up to New York so early.

188
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:24,720
You know, that's three and a half hours up there.

189
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,440
I mean, there's just you don't you don't sneak your

190
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,600
way around to New York quickly. I think having Minnesota

191
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,759
go to Los Angeles and play was kind of stupid.

192
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,559
I think you're keeping not necessarily in you know, in

193
00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:37,559
the division. But like a Houston Dallas game would be

194
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,759
a perfect Thursday night game, easy travel, get up there fast,

195
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:43,360
It doesn't it really because you need every minute of

196
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,279
rest possible, and you know, Sincy to Baltimore is maybe

197
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:49,240
an hour flight, maybe hour fifteen tops. I think the

198
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:51,960
proof of the pudding is keep these teams close, make

199
00:09:52,039 --> 00:09:56,159
them divisional matchups so they really give a damn about them,

200
00:09:56,159 --> 00:09:59,399
and they also it meant a lot more. Yeah.

201
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,399
Speaker 3: Well, video keeps cutting the checks for these terrible games,

202
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:03,720
and you give him a couple of good ones. And

203
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:05,960
then that's the thing though, too, because NBC wants great games,

204
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,480
ESPN wants great games, and there's only so many to

205
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,799
go around. And one last thing that thoughts in prayers

206
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:13,840
to anybody facing Jamar Chase and or Joe Burrow or

207
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,639
Lamar Jackson in their fantasy league.

208
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:18,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, a member of the seven ninety family who can

209
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,279
say his name, Dan Matthews. I think it's already scored

210
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,879
six hundred points and has only used one game to

211
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:27,039
towards his point numbers. Yeah, that is that is correct.

212
00:10:27,639 --> 00:10:31,679
Yet another reason why we come on, are you? Another

213
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:34,360
reason why is because Jamar Chase went off.

214
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 3: You're just making up excuses. Now, that's probably accurate.

215
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: I do have McPherson the kicker for the for the Bengals,

216
00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:41,720
and he didn't get me a fifth extra point because

217
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,039
they didn't go for it. All right.

218
00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 3: You know what, I need you to find somebody to

219
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,600
replace you in this league. As commissioner, I demand you

220
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,320
find somebody to replace you, and they need to be

221
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,000
as bad at fantasy football as you are.

222
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've won some money in over the years.

223
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,159
Why he keeps saying that you're spreading bad vicious room

224
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,919
with you. I may not have a championship, but you

225
00:10:57,919 --> 00:10:59,960
know what I am. I'm the Houston Texans and fantasy football.

226
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,320
I've got to the playoffs once in a while. You've

227
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,559
got three tight ends on your team, not right now,

228
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,799
I don't. It's you see, you don't even know who's

229
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,320
on your roster. No, I don't, nor do I care.

230
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,279
I'm trying to trade the packer tod In Craft, and

231
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:18,720
no one will even respond to my to my message, Well, yeah,

232
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:21,080
you true should have traded him after his twenty point week.

233
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,039
All right, on the radio program today eleven o'clock, we're

234
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:27,279
gonna talk to the voice of the Troit Lions, Dan

235
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:29,759
Miller is gonna be with us in about forty five

236
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:32,799
minutes from now. We've got that coming up. We will

237
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,320
wake the strippers up at twelve noon. People are like,

238
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,840
what are you to do with the strippers? Well, they're

239
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,960
asleep right now. There's no way I'm waking them up.

240
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,759
I can get them up in an hour and a half,

241
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,159
but not right now. Leave them be. Yeah. Also today

242
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:46,720
on the radio program, we're going to have non Florida stories. Well,

243
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,480
I believe it or not, Anne Ross, We've got a

244
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:51,440
few other things to get to, including will Nico even

245
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:53,919
practice this week? Will he play? I mean, it doesn't

246
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,159
sound like it's gonna happen. What's gonna happen with the Astros?

247
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,919
As this Bob Knight story about Alex Breadman going to

248
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,879
second base has opened up a bunch of opportunities, perhaps

249
00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:07,679
for teams that are looking for second baseman. Will Ryan

250
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:10,679
Presley be talked about as a potential trade chip as well?

251
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:14,799
For the Astros? And we had the Rockets against Oklahoma City.

252
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,679
So a busy Friday night edition, Friday morning edition that

253
00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:19,720

00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,519
Thomas Way. Houston. Sports Talk continues with the Matt Thomas Show.

260
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: Ten twenty one and is a Matt Thomas Show with

261
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:48,840
Ross here from Oklahoma City. We'll visit with the Voice

262
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,360
of the Lions coming up at eleven o'clock today. All right,

263
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:55,799
So I looked at the tweet you sent, and, uh,

264
00:12:55,919 --> 00:13:01,360
Gasenki absolutely flopped rather easily. It just, you know, maybe

265
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,440
I should start watching the NFL post game shows. Maybe

266
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,480
they would have talked about it more. But I, yeah,

267
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,120
that was terrible.

268
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 3: He hooks in an arm like the James Harden down

269
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,039
the lane.

270
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: Did you see the comments to the tweet that you

271
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:14,799
sent me? Oh? No, I didn't.

272
00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:17,279
Speaker 3: I don't normally look at comments of tweets. These days

273
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,000
quite frankly, because it's all bots and idiots.

274
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: Right, ninety percent of them were about Lebron James.

275
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 3: Oh really, Okay, that's funny.

276
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: Is Lebron I mean, does Lebron James? Is he the

277
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,519
this is he? Is? He considered the greatest flopper of

278
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,919
all time? Now, No, I wouldn't put him close. I

279
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,600
would say number one first of all. Number one for

280
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:40,600
me is mount of Genobili.

281
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mano Genobili is the o G one of the

282
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,480
all time greats.

283
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,159
Speaker 2: Karl mal Malone was a huge flopper back in the day.

284
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,159
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess Lebron did it has some I

285
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:56,399
think maybe Lebron's flops were on like bigger stages. But

286
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:59,960
I would say, like most consistent flopping, like Chris Paul

287
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,080
flops every trip down the court. I don't think Lebron.

288
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,240
I think Lebron does have some flops, but I don't

289
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,679
think he flops every day. James Harden flops every time

290
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,000
down the court. Luka Doncic flops every time down the floor.

291
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: And here's the thing I don't get with today's athletes,

292
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:17,440
and that that could be certainly what we saw last

293
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:20,000
night in the in the game because I mean Kaseki,

294
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,399
I felt bad for him until I saw it on replay.

295
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,879
But in the NBA, every game is nationally televised, meaning

296
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,679
you can go on League Pass and watch every game

297
00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:32,679
if you wanted to, you paid for or you're at

298
00:14:32,759 --> 00:14:34,960
least locally, you have the games on. If you're a

299
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,320
fan of a particular team. You can't get away with

300
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:43,039
flopping anymore. You cannot. It's impossible to get away with flopping.

301
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:45,320
And they don't catch it right away in the game

302
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,000
as it's happening. The NBA is gonna come after you

303
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,000
and find you. They're gonna get you because they don't

304
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,879
want any more of it. But yet today's players ROSSI

305
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,639
in twenty twenty four still do it. Well.

306
00:14:57,679 --> 00:14:59,559
Speaker 3: The NBA said they were gonna crack down on it,

307
00:14:59,559 --> 00:15:01,799
and they I mean, when's the last time you remember

308
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:03,200
hearing about a fine for flopping?

309
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,159
Speaker 2: It hasn't happened.

310
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,039
Speaker 3: There are probably fifty flops in every game, and I

311
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:09,440
don't I mean, I know there's been one or two

312
00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:11,240
that probably aren't coming off the top of my head,

313
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,840
but you never hear any about anything.

314
00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:17,399
Speaker 2: There is no repercussions. What is a fine for a flop?

315
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,240
Five thousand dollars something like that. Nah, it's hopefully more

316
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:23,200
than that. I don't think it's very much. Yeah, honestly,

317
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,519
it's not much, too really, and it's never going to

318
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:27,320
be much relative to what these players are making.

319
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's even less. I thought you, I

320
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:34,120
thought you undersold it. Two thousand dollars.

321
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:43,399
Speaker 2: That's worth it. That's that's pocket change. That's less than

322
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:46,960
pocket change for these players. I have to be unfortunate,

323
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,600
very real of the audience. What Ross is saying is

324
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,000
one hundred percent right. It's literally pocket change.

325
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: Looks like it did happen. It happened ten times last year.

326
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,720
I didn't even know that the ten players got fined.

327
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:05,279
Speaker 2: All right, Well, there you go.

328
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 3: Joshua, Jordan Clarks and Paul George, oh, Jalen Brunson, christophs

329
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,919
erthingis like it's been a few.

330
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: Not a who's whose list? Put that way. I mean,

331
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,720
Brunst is obviously very good, but the rest of the

332
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,679
guys are just okay. All right? Is it? Anything goes

333
00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:21,440
Friday here on this Friday edition of The Matt Thomas Show.

334
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:24,039
Ross seven one three two one two five seven ninety.

335
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:26,639
If you want to jump in seven one three, two

336
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:29,240
one two five seven ninety. I don't know how many

337
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,039
of you watched it since any Baltimore game, but it

338
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,320
gave me pause that we could have a great Thursday

339
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,080
night game, and we got it last night. So that

340
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,080
was nice to see. Uh, what else is going on

341
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,000
in the world of sports? The injury report came out,

342
00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:45,080
Like I said after our show yesterday, no sign on

343
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:49,159
Nico Collins on there, there's I mean, we can go

344
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:50,799
ahead and say it right, there's no way to know

345
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,840
how no chance he's playing Sunday. Correct. No, yeah, it's done.

346
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,200
It's it's done. They didn't even activate his practice window.

347
00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:02,919
He can't play, so when did And maybe we got

348
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:05,000
a dollarp Aaron here and to find what's going down here,

349
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:05,799
because it doesn't he.

350
00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:08,079
Speaker 6: Said, checked all the boxes, one hundred percent ready to go.

351
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,480
I was like, well, okay, I got excited.

352
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,279
Speaker 2: It would be like, rosso, here I go, trying to

353
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,839
let's go. I love it. I'm ready. I'm ready. I

354
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,319
don't know.

355
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: Anytime I hear you go, it would be like and

356
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,279
I'm like, oh, here we go.

357
00:17:23,559 --> 00:17:26,319
Speaker 2: This is a rollercoaster ride. No, I don't know what

358
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,519
to expect. It's like a mystery box. Could be good,

359
00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:33,440
could be bad? What do you got to go? Ahead?

360
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,799
Do it? Okay? This is terrible. Uh you just came

361
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:41,279
back from a long trip and you nicked it off

362
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:42,279
to get over the jet leg.

363
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I'm going right into coming back to work

364
00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:46,279
like an idiot.

365
00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 2: By the way. Okay, and then you say, well, I

366
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,519
don't think I can go back to work the next

367
00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:53,440
day because I still need another day a jet leg.

368
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,680
I've got more jet leg. He's fine, but he's not

369
00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:04,079
ready to test it, which is bizarre. Hmm. Either that

370
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,400
or just Aaron got it wrong. What's gonna happen?

371
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean he said pasted all tests. Maybe

372
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,079
that he's on track and feeling good.

373
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

374
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: We'd have to go back to the wording again because

375
00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:17,119
the wording of ready to go was was not accurate.

376
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: How in the hell are you supposed to play a

377
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,240
game with the most high octant offense in the NFL

378
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,599
when you have one legitimate downfill threat Xavier Hutchinson you're

379
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,240
talking about? Uh, we go ahead, try one more time.

380
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,359
Uh man, here we go, I got it.

381
00:18:39,839 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: Go Texans WR one Nico Collins has passed all tests

382
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,559
for hamstring, no setbacks, per league sources, regained speed, mobility,

383
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:53,319
ready to go, matter of when not if he'll be

384
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:59,160
designated for return. Team still determining if activating him for

385
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,359
a Lions game. So he's ready to go, but maybe

386
00:19:02,759 --> 00:19:05,359
sometimes teams will say, Hey, we want to let you

387
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,839
tell us when you're ready to go, and then we'll

388
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,119
give you another week with the hamstring type of deal.

389
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess I can mean, how can we

390
00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:17,279
argue that? I mean? But the thing is you would

391
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:19,759
probably hold him out if it was like Jacksonville or something.

392
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:20,640
This is Detroit.

393
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,599
Speaker 3: I told you the inverse can be true if you're

394
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,200
gonna lose. How do you think if Nico Collins is there,

395
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,319
are they probably still going to lose the Lions. Oh

396
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,640
so if he's not going to help you win, then

397
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:34,680
then what's the difference If you're.

398
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,079
Speaker 2: Saying that in the building, that's my favorite term of

399
00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:40,720
the day in the building there and they'll never say

400
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,400
it publicly, and they're certainly going to coach to win

401
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,480
the game, but in their mind they're thinking it's not

402
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,519
gonna be great.

403
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,039
Speaker 3: It's kind of a like a Popovich used to do

404
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:54,519
this when when Tim Duncan and Tony Parker and all

405
00:19:54,519 --> 00:19:57,559
of them were on their last legs. He would arrest

406
00:19:57,599 --> 00:19:59,680
them against really good teams because that's a fifty to

407
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,640
fifty make a fifty to fifty game a fifty one

408
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,319
to forty nine game, So what if you can make a.

409
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: Sixty to forty game a seventy thirty game, then then

410
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:08,640
that's better.

411
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 3: I don't know that's what's happening here. I'm just we're

412
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,400
just talking.

413
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's a terrible assessment thinking that

414
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,319
even if Nico at eighty percent ninety percent isn't gonna

415
00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:27,480
make that big of a difference. It's like worrying crushed anyways,

416
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,440
So maybe we want to start watching a Netflix show

417
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,519
On Sunday Night's appeared to watching the Texans.

418
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 3: I will be watching, And that is that line? Still

419
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,680
holding it three and a half? Oh, it's it's a four.

420
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:40,079
Speaker 2: That makes it? Oh no, no, it's a three and

421
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:47,279
a half. Still hmmm, Wow, I we know Texas. Darlene's

422
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:48,640
going because she wants to get on camera as much

423
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,240
as possible.

424
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna get your years spiked shoulder pads going,

425
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,920
Maddie and be ready to go with the game.

426
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,079
Speaker 2: I'll be on the way back from Detroit, so I

427
00:20:56,079 --> 00:20:58,759
will not be able to be in attendance for the game. Okay,

428
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,599
hopefully you win rolling them bones, but I'll be there

429
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:05,799
in spirit. I'll take you that for sure. Ten twenty

Speaker 3: I mean, I just I'm gonna plead ignorance on how long?

00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:40,799
the Jewels.

494
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,519
Speaker 2: You know, I hate to say this because I don't

495
00:24:45,519 --> 00:24:47,519
know the answer to this, but does it Atlanta's rap

496
00:24:47,559 --> 00:24:48,480
game better than Houston's?

497
00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 4: Right?

498
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:48,839
Speaker 2: Oh?

499
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,799
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Nationally? Nationally it's well way more respect that you

500
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:56,079
hear that what you hear?

501
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 2: What ross everybody? Ross? I don't like, you know.

502
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 3: I don't like when I say something that's unbiased and

503
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,440
truthful and then and then people come after me. I'm

504
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:08,559
sorry that I have unbiased opinions. I'm not like some people.

505
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:10,839
Maybe they're two to six to where if you're not

506
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,640
from Houston, you're gonna trash him and call them stiffs.

507
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,759
Speaker 2: And this is the worst. Everything here is the best.

508
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,079
Speaker 3: If you want to just be a homer about everything

509
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,079
and that's how you want to live your life, that's fine.

510
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,359
I would hope you people know if you want an

511
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,200
unbiased opinion, I will give it to.

512
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: You, whether you like it or not. Atlanta rappers greater

513
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:40,839
than Houston rappers? Sorry, well, thankfully on my phone, I

514
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:41,759
have a mix of both.

515
00:25:42,759 --> 00:25:49,519
Speaker 3: You don't name five, then five Houston rappers bun for

516
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,279
port Arthur.

517
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,559
Speaker 2: You know what I'm going to keep the rest of

00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:58,240
them my favorite. Okay, this is like when you ask

519
00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:06,559
a certain president is favorite by verse? Also Travis Scott.

520
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 3: Okay, Missouri City, he counts. I guess he counts more

521
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:11,480
than Port Arthur.

522
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course he counts. I'm I'm gonna have to

523
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,039
tap out. I don't know after that, Okay, I should

524
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:23,480
have bunn called the show. You know, we had to

525
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,799
watch that, bun.

526
00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: I would say, the greatest of all times. Gotta be

527
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:30,039
Scarface matt as you know, of duh, you know. Then

528
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:32,559
it depends on where you feed in. Meghan d Stallion,

529
00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:36,680

530
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,319
little kecky of the don legendary, I'll put zero in

531
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,039

Speaker 2: Okay, Fat Pat had a short.

533
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: Now if Bunby and Pimpsy are in, if you're counting

534
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,000
Port Arthur, Texas as Houston, Texas?

00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 2: Well, hop about my favorite my new favorite? How about

536
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,680
the childish.

537
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 3: Gambino child just Gambino? Is that is Donald Glover? And

538
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:57,839
I think he's from Atlanta?

539
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 2: Okay, I was talking about Atlanta, of course, Okay, or

540
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,279
at least he started in the show Atlanta. Is that

541
00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:06,720
where he's from? I don't know. Well, I mean, you know,

542
00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:08,119
these things mixed up.

543
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 3: And Don Glover I believe retired childish gambino.

544
00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:12,319
Speaker 2: Mm.

545
00:27:12,519 --> 00:27:15,319
Speaker 3: By the way, Donald Glover a successful rapper, successful stand

546
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,680
up comedian, and successful actor and producer.

547
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: It's not fair. Wasn't he in the movies with Mel

548
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:28,240
Gibson too? No? Donald Glover, that's no, that's somebody else. Okay,

549
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,440
let's move on. I gave we gave this way more

550
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,640
time than I thought we were gonna do it. We're

551
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,880
a four hour show. What are you gonna do? You

552
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,720
see that? You gotta keep that in mind. We can

553
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:39,920
have you break down the top five Atlanta rappers. We

554
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,920
got time, baby, all right. So a listener of Ours

555
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,119
Pollard's vision on Twitter sent me this, Oh, I have

556
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,039
him muted. I wonder what he said. Well, I'm gonna

557
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:54,920
tell you be nice at least poward division is in

558
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,720
that doucheback coach from Syah Ranch or whatever.

559
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm enteray my forties. I must stop being nice to everybody.

560
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,000
I must stop being so nice.

561
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,559
Speaker 2: I like it. This deal with Nico is bs. He

562
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:05,720
is one hundred percent ready to go. Dimiko is saving

563
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,640
an excuse for when they get rolled. With the Lions.

564
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,079
He can say we were not at full strength. CJ

565
00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:12,519
should be pissed. Agree or disagree.

566
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 3: Oh god, you know what, I'm gonna go ahead and

567
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,000
say that's a validated mute. That is a ridiculous take.

568
00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:21,880
They're holding back Nico. They're holding back their number one

569
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,480
wide receiver that is one hundred percent healthy and ready

570
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,119
to go so they can have an excuse when they

571
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,079
lose kick.

572
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 2: Are we serious?

573
00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:32,279
Speaker 3: That's one of my best mute decisions of all time.

574
00:28:32,759 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't think they're holding him back.

575
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:39,119
I just don't think that he's as close as we

576
00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:42,400
were originally told.

577
00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: You okay with that, or maybe he as I said, like,

578
00:28:46,119 --> 00:28:47,799
you can get close on a hamstring, but they want

579
00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:49,759
you to be close for well, you want you to

580
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:51,519
be ready to go and then give you more time

581
00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:54,200
because re injury is there's a high percentage of reinjury

582
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,640
with with the soft tissue injuries.

583
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,359
Speaker 2: Well, once a hammy, always a hammy, right, especially for

584
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,559
receivers who have to run and a lot of sprints

585
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:02,400
and a bunch of times ding of course of the game.

586
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,839
That's one of the ten commandments. I Yeah, I don't

587
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,119
think as much as I. I don't think that Nico

588
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,880
would have been a huge different I think Detroit is

589
00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:14,559
still better. I don't think they're intentionally going, yeah, relax,

590
00:29:16,119 --> 00:29:18,839
and they wouldn't use it a good excuse if they lose,

591
00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:21,559
if the if the Lions beat the Texans on Sunday

592
00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:23,599
twenty seven to fourteen, they're not going to say, well,

593
00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:25,200
things would have been different if Nico was out there.

594
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:27,839
I mean they may be thinking it, and they may

595
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,519
be saying, way, we would have liked to have had them,

596
00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:32,640
but they're not going to go, well, if if he

597
00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:34,640
would have played, it would have been a different story.

598
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,079
Detroit's a better football team. Yes, doesn't mean the Texans

599
00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:40,559
can't beat them. Of course they can beat him. You

600
00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:42,200
can beat anybody one week. I mean, it happens all

601
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,640
the time in the NFL, happens in sports period. That's

602
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,880
what That's what march mannis and the Nsibillity Tournament is

603
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,759
all about. Is beating one team that you are that

604
00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:51,160
you're not on paper, not better than.

605
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:57,839
Speaker 3: The Lions loss to the Buccaneers at home, that's right.

606
00:29:57,759 --> 00:29:59,839
Speaker 2: And Tampa Bay is met. I mean that's you know,

607
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:04,400
don't worry about it, don't be scared. I'm a little scared,

608
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,119
but you should be scared. They're gonna lose by double

609
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:06,799
digits this week.

610
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:09,359
Speaker 3: Uh you know what I'll I'd like to make a bet.

611
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,079
I'll take I'll take the Texans plus nine and a

612
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:11,799
half versus you.

613
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I need odds giving you a bunch. I'll give

614
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,400
you a bunch of points. You're telling me what's gonna happen. Yeah,

615
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,759
but I'm still still it's no one would do that

616
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,559
just to do it, I have to get something in return.

00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,559
is still sitting at one. Unfortunately, hopefully he'll win both

658
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:45,119
and get up to twenty. That'd be pretty good. Twenty

659
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,279
Grammys would be incredible.

660
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be. America would be just so excited

661
00:32:50,119 --> 00:32:53,079
about it. All right, we'll talk to Dan Miller, the

662
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:55,440
voice of the Detroit Lions cut up at the top

663
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,960
of the hour here on Sports Talk saidn'ty I want

664
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:04,720
to ask you believe it or not? On Scott Boros

665
00:33:04,759 --> 00:33:09,000
saying that Alex Spragman would embrace a move to second base,

666
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,640
let me ask you this, When you throw out second base,

667
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,839
do you open yourself up to teams that would not

668
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,960
be normally looking for a third basement, but would be

669
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,839
looking for perhaps a second baseman or b is it

670
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:26,640
we're trying to drive up the market, so the Astros

671
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,000
will say, we need our guy to play third base,

672
00:33:29,079 --> 00:33:30,680
and we have an offer, and we need to up

673
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,799
it because Scott's now looking for other teams to compete

674
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,599
with the Astros and throwing the second base caveat out

675
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:40,960
there could help him draw some more attention.

676
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 3: Aileen, maybe there is a bit of a b or

677
00:33:48,319 --> 00:33:51,279
just trying to drum up or manufacture some more market

678
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:55,160
because I mean, the highest paid second basement is not

679
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,759
anywhere close to the highest paid third basement in baseball.

680
00:33:57,799 --> 00:33:59,440
It's just not as much of a premium position.

681
00:34:01,599 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: And you know, he did have the chips removed from

682
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,839
his elbow. Does maybe the wear and tear of playing

683
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,039
third base the next five or six years not sound

684
00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:11,679
nearly as interesting, a little more easier for him to

685
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:13,639
play second base, and his throws will have to go

686
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,559
not nearly as far.

687
00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:17,079
Speaker 3: Well, if the Astros could somehow sign him at second

688
00:34:17,119 --> 00:34:20,679
base money, they'd be great. I just pulled up the

689
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,320
highest paid there's only three second basement in baseball making

690
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:29,079
over twenty million a year, xanderbolt Ras Padres twenty five million,

691
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,719
Marcus Simeon twenty five million, and then Jose Al Tuve.

692
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: So basically it would not be an adjustment salary wise

693
00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:38,920
to open up him playing second base. It would be.

694
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:41,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, the second base is not going to make as

695
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:42,559
much as as a third baseman.

696
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,559
Speaker 2: So then let me ask you this. Let's let's let's

697
00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:48,960
dig into the mind of Boros. Why is he doing it?

698
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,239
Why would Alex embrace it? He's trying to drum up market.

699
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 3: He's just trying to get He's trying to say, oh,

700
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,079
this team's interesting, Well he wants to go to other team.

701
00:34:56,159 --> 00:34:58,840
If you saying he'll play second base does get teams

702
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,360
more interested, and then he can go to teams that

703
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,840
want to sign him as a third base say well,

704
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,320
you know I got five other teams interested.

705
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's drumming up a market.

706
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: He's this guy's not stupid.

707
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 2: Well how about this. You know a lot of guys

708
00:35:11,119 --> 00:35:15,079
are free agent shortstops will play shortstop for three or

709
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:17,519
four years and then move to third base. I mean,

710
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:19,480
I think if a rod is a good example of that.

711
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,039
Cal Ripkin was on.

712
00:35:21,039 --> 00:35:23,519
Speaker 3: Example, estate at short, Cheeter was done at short at

713
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:23,840
that time.

714
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:26,639
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what that's It sounds like very similar

715
00:35:26,679 --> 00:35:29,679
to that situation. Is that moving positions, maybe towards the

716
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,559
back half of the career, to say, you know what,

717
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:33,920
if I don't think I'm going to be able to

718
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,760
get the production defensively from Alex Pregnant in six years

719
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,280
or third maybe I get the three or four best

720
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,920
years left to his defensive work. Move him to second

721
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,840
base where I could make him a very solid second basement.

722
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's even the guy that we just

723
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,679
mentioned as the highest paid second baseman is a perfect

724
00:35:50,679 --> 00:35:53,199
example of that, Marcus Simeon. Marcus Simion was a great

725
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,280
shortstop for a couple of years, for several years and

726
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,519
at major League baseball level, and then he moved to

727
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:01,360
second base full time basically the last couple of years.

728
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:06,679
Speaker 2: Oh, I wish we could. I wish we had the

729
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,039
text message between Boris and Brigman, or at least be

730
00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:13,559
able to spy on the phone call, because I'm very

731
00:36:13,599 --> 00:36:15,000
curious where this is going.

732
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 3: Is this going to draw to like what's your gut feeling?

733
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,599
Is this done in a couple of weeks or is

734
00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:22,480
this going to draw one of those bad boys that

735
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:24,960
draws out to March Rossie.

736
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,199
Speaker 2: I don't even have an answer for you on that.

737
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,960
I don't even know, because it feels like to me,

738
00:36:29,159 --> 00:36:31,320
the last four or five years in Major League Baseball,

739
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,159
these deals have started signing later and later and later.

740
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:37,400
Like I mean, think about there were three high priced

741
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:42,400
free agents that signed in March even when spring training

742
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,960
was underway, and those are all Boros clients, and two

743
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,239
of the three left them, So I know I would

744
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,960
say it's not right around the corner. My guess is

745
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,239
they maybe going to the winter meetings before a final

746
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,519
decision is made, and maybe not even that soon. I

747
00:36:59,519 --> 00:37:02,559
guess it all depends on the client, right it? For me, Ross,

748
00:37:02,599 --> 00:37:05,119
when I've dealt them with negotiations, I let to get

749
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:07,079
things done way ahead of time. I don't want to

750
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:09,000
go to the last minute and anything to do in

751
00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:11,119
my life, whether it's negotiating for a car or a house,

752
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,519
my job, whatever the case, I want it done as

753
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:16,800
fast as possible. Some people want to hold on to

754
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,760
the very last second to see how much more interest

755
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,800
is out there. Yeah, I don't know how it's gonna

756
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,760
play out. It'll be interesting. All right, Let's check you

757

national broadcast against the Detroit Lions. Joining us right now

789
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,719
the longtime voice of the Detroit Lions. He's also the

790
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,599
sports director at the Fox affiliate in Detroit. It's Dan

791

Miller here on the Matt Thomas Show. Dan, It's Matt

792
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,400
and Ross. Thank you for joining us. I have to ask,

793
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:22,320
is this the most excited you have been as a

794
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,199
sportscaster and voice of the Lions about the Lions realistically

795
00:39:26,199 --> 00:39:27,360
playing on a Super Sunday.

796
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so, and I appreciate you guys having

797
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,599
beyond Look, they really at the end of twenty twenty

798
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:37,199
two when they went to eight out of ten to

799
00:39:37,199 --> 00:39:40,440
close the season. The den Camp right back last year

800
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,000
started the season with the winning Kansas City tonight they

801
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:45,519
hung the banner. You started to believe there was something

802
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:48,559
happening here that was real. And then to see them

803
00:39:48,599 --> 00:39:50,920
win the division last year, something they hadn't done in

804
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,760
thirty years, to beat the Rams, to beat the Bucks,

805
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,000
to get the NFC championship game and basically thirty minutes

806
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:02,519
away from a Super Bowl. Understand what they've got. And

807
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:04,440
I think the most impressive thing about it, Matt is

808
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,679
that it's built on a firm foundation with young players

809
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,119
that are developing and getting better. Whereas in the past

810
00:40:12,159 --> 00:40:14,239
we've seen maybe a Lions team that got to the

811
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,280
playoffs and it looked like it was just kind of

812
00:40:16,559 --> 00:40:19,239
you know, put together with Stixon glue had a chance,

813
00:40:19,519 --> 00:40:23,920
but nothing really that was gonna last. So yeah, it's exciting.

814
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:29,199
They're legitimately good. They are playing great football right now.

815
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:34,599
They've endured some injuries, but it's I think the most

816
00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:37,320
that Lions fans have been able to sink their teeth

817
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:38,639
into in a long, long time.

818
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this to go back to your

819
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,639
memory banks a little bit, if you don't mind. The

820
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,320
day that Matthew Stafford gets moved to Los Angeles in

821
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,400
return for Jared Goff, the reaction to Detroit sports fans,

822
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,920
people that cover the team, guys like yourself to saying,

823
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,440
what are we doing here or was it time for

824
00:40:55,519 --> 00:40:58,559
Matthew to go? And then fast forward to now about

825
00:40:58,559 --> 00:41:01,239
the development of Golf as a quarterback while wearing the

826
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:01,840
Lions gear.

827
00:41:03,559 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, completely respectful of Matthew. It was time to go.

828
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,440
They just needed to turn the page.

829
00:41:10,519 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 8: Now.

830
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 5: The acquisition of Jared Goff, I don't think a lot

831
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,480
of us thought that he was going to be the

832
00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:21,800
long term quarterback in Detroit. I thought there was a chance.

833
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,440
I knew they had to rehabilitate him, and I'd seen

834
00:41:24,519 --> 00:41:26,760
him take a team, you know, into the playoffs and

835
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,639
into a super Bowl, and he had done some good things,

836
00:41:29,639 --> 00:41:32,320
but he had just fallen. It seemed so far off

837
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,719
the map in LA, and they had lost faith in

838
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,679
him and certainly seemed like they were just shipping him out.

839
00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:41,280
But I will say this, the guys that believed that

840
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,079
he could be the Lions next starting quarterback for the

841
00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:48,159
long term were the general manager Brad Holmes and his

842
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:51,760
assistant general manager Ray Agnew, both of whom were in

843
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,039
LA when they drafted him, and both of whom were

844
00:41:55,039 --> 00:41:58,119
part of the Rams organization that saw him play his

845
00:41:58,199 --> 00:42:01,840
best football out there. So well, I think the widespread

846
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,239
view was he's a place holder, he's a bridge quarterback.

847
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,519
I think they felt like this guy, with the right

848
00:42:09,559 --> 00:42:12,599
team around him, can be the starting quarterback for the

849
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:15,400
Detroit Lions, and I think that belief has been born out,

850
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,400
and Jared is now playing the best football of his

851
00:42:18,519 --> 00:42:22,079
career and really put together a one month stretch here

852
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,159
that you could throw some numbers up there that no

853
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,400
quarterback in NFL history has ever put together in terms

854
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:32,840
of completion percentage, quarterback rating and getting through a tough

855
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,239
five week stretch here that we looked at at the

856
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,039
beginning of the year and thought, man, that's going to

857
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:40,039
be probably the most difficult part of their schedule, and

858
00:42:40,079 --> 00:42:41,360
he's been at his best.

859
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,599
Speaker 2: The talent of Dan Miller, the voice of the Lions,

860
00:42:44,639 --> 00:42:46,920
with us here on a Sports Talk seven ony coming

861
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,119
to you from Oklahoma City. You do a weekly second

862
00:42:50,119 --> 00:42:53,760
with Dan and Campbell. We obviously only get sound bites

863
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,119
and whatnot. Obviously, the guys love him, the city loves him.

864
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,559
He's a typical of the typical coach speak that we'll

865
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:02,719
see around the NFL circles. But take us into your

866
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,239
world a little bit. You get a chance to talk

867
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,000
with him on I'm assuming several times during the week,

868
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,480
whether it's on television or radio. Give me some things

869
00:43:09,519 --> 00:43:12,840
about him that maybe the average fan in Houston, Texas

870
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,079
watching the Lions from a distance, wouldn't know about him.

871
00:43:16,519 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 5: You know, start with this. He's a great person. I mean,

872
00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:23,920
he's got a good heart. He means well in everything

873
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,599
that he does. He cares about other people. And I've

874
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:30,199
been doing this long enough to know that not all

875
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,159
coaches are like that. They can get caught up in

876
00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:34,599
their own little world and it is about what they're

877
00:43:34,639 --> 00:43:38,159
doing and not worrying about anybody else. He's a heck

878
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:41,079
of a person. I think that's that's where you start

879
00:43:41,159 --> 00:43:45,079
with him. His wife's outstanding, He's got a great family,

880
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,559
and I think that's that's kind of what permeates everything

881
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,760
he does. There's a consistency to him. He's the exact

882
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,119
same person if you're sitting on the couch talking to him,

883
00:43:56,119 --> 00:43:58,360
doing in an interview, as if you were drinking a

884
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,880
beer in the corner, as if if he were spending

885
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,000
any time with him. He doesn't change. I've not seen

886
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:08,599
him lose his temper ever in a press conference. I've

887
00:44:08,639 --> 00:44:11,320
not seen him ever let somebody get under his skin.

888
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,360
He just he has an ability to just kind of go

889
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,639
with the flow. And I think the players appreciate. They

890
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,280
appreciate the consistency. They appreciate the honesty. They appreciate always

891
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,039
knowing where they stand. They appreciate the fact that he

892
00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:27,440
clearly cares about them and wants to do best by

893
00:44:27,519 --> 00:44:30,800
them and give them the best opportunity to succeed. He

894
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,840
has been exactly what Detroit needed. And you know, his

895
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,559
initial press conference was the whole kneecap thing that everybody

896
00:44:38,559 --> 00:44:42,239
pulled that thirty seconds out. But I tell you, we've

897
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,039
seen a lot of press conferences here because unfortunately we've

898
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:47,639
changed a lot of coaches with the Lions, with the Tigers,

899
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,400
with the Pistons, with the red Wings. That was the

900
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,400
best introductory press conference I'd ever seen because he said

901
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,079
the things that people needed to hear, and it wasn't

902
00:44:57,119 --> 00:45:00,880
blowing smoke, it wasn't just blue skies. It was about

903
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:03,000
what the vision was, what it.

904
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:03,679
Speaker 9: Was going to take.

905
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 5: And I think it resonated with people right away. But

906
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,719
he just has an infectious, charismatic personality that I think

907
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:17,360
people like, I think players like, and it has been

908
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:18,760
perfect for Detroit.

909
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,119
Speaker 2: Dan Aiden Hutchinson's leg injury was gruesome, sad for a

910
00:45:23,159 --> 00:45:25,480
lot of Detroit Lions fans, like what it's going to

911
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:27,519
happen now? You lose one of the best defensive players

912
00:45:27,519 --> 00:45:29,920
in the games. Zadarius Smith comes in the trade. First

913
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,440
of all, what do you know about Zadarius except on

914
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,119
the opposite side calling games against the Browns? And then

915
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:36,800
what's his availability for Sunday?

916
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 5: Do you think, Yeah, I think that's up in the air.

917
00:45:40,039 --> 00:45:42,199
I think there's a chance you won't play. I think

918
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,920
they are cognizant of the fact that this was his

919
00:45:45,079 --> 00:45:48,400
bye week. Have he stayed in Cleveland and he's a

920
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,159
thirty two year old guy who, if he played, would

921
00:45:51,159 --> 00:45:53,800
be on schedule for eighteen games. And I think they

922
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,480
are cognizant of the fact that he might need a

923
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,440
little downtime before he jumps in there. They gave him

924
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,519
some time to be gase, go back home and get everything

925
00:46:01,559 --> 00:46:06,000
in order, and he just came back today, So obviously

926
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,880
it's gonna be a crash course in the playbook. If

927
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,559
he plays, it'll be a limited snap count. Look, here's

928
00:46:10,559 --> 00:46:12,360
what I know about him, and he's been in the

929
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,280
NFC North, so we've seen him for quite some time.

930
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,119
He's thirty two years old, so he's not what he

931
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,000
was when he was twenty six, but he still can

932
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:23,920
provide something that they desperately need, and that's an ability

933
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,000
to get after the quarterback, because when Aiden went down

934
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,079
and Marcus Davenport went down and Derek Barnes went down,

935
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,039
you know, they lost three of their best edge guys.

936
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,440
And John Kaminski was another guy that went down for

937
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:40,039
them earlier this year in training camp, so they really

938
00:46:40,079 --> 00:46:43,639
needed something. And he walks in the door as their

939
00:46:43,679 --> 00:46:47,880
best edge rusher, So again, don't know if he's gonna

940
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,039
play this week. Josh Pascal will be back. He's a

941
00:46:51,039 --> 00:46:53,360
former second round pick that I know they're hoping is

942
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:54,960
going to be able to take some steps this year

943
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,480
and help them out. But it is a question mark,

944
00:46:57,519 --> 00:46:59,880
Matt about this team and what they're gonna be able

945
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:03,239
to accomplish if they can't get that pass rush going,

946
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,199
because it's been a problem even the last couple of

947
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,760
weeks when we've played some quarterbacks. You know, Jordan Love

948
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:13,119
wasn't one hundred percent, Mason Rudolph isn't top of the

949
00:47:13,159 --> 00:47:15,599
line when it comes to NFL starters, but they get

950
00:47:15,639 --> 00:47:17,480
a lot of time back there, and it's hard to

951
00:47:17,519 --> 00:47:19,880
survive in this league if you're not at least impacting

952
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,360
the pass or somehow.

953
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,039
Speaker 2: Lastly, Dan, as you and I are speaking, the Texans

954
00:47:25,039 --> 00:47:28,639
have activated Nico Collins and put him on the off

955
00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:31,079
of the injured reserve list. He can now open to

956
00:47:31,159 --> 00:47:33,760
practice today. So that's gonna be a very encouraging sign

957
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,840
for Texans fans. Tell me what the Lions secondary will

958
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,360
be like if indeed Nico Collins and Tank Dell are

959
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,719
the main two guys that Aj Strout can throw two

960
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:42,679
on Sunday.

961
00:47:43,679 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, their secondary is a lot better. They got two

962
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,079
guys playing great at safety right now. Kirby Joseph and

963
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,880
Brian Branch are two of the highest rated safeties if

964
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,920
you look at PFF or or one of those sites.

965
00:47:56,199 --> 00:47:59,239
They've been outstanding. And Terry and Arnold the rookie first

966
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,199
round pick, has got and better. Carlton Davis, a veteran,

967
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,440
has been a great ad for them. A Meek Robertson,

968
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,639
a veteran that they signed as a free agent, has

969
00:48:07,679 --> 00:48:11,320
been solid as a nickel. So look, their secondary is good.

970
00:48:11,679 --> 00:48:14,800
It's worlds better than it was last year. But again,

971
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,480
I think the equalizer is if you can't pressure Stroud

972
00:48:18,519 --> 00:48:20,519
into throwing the ball maybe a little bit before he

973
00:48:20,599 --> 00:48:22,960
wants to, or at least force him to get it

974
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,920
out of there, and he's got a lot of time

975
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,440
back there. A lot of quarterbacks in this league are

976
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,400
gonna pick you apart, and he's certainly one of them.

977
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,199
So that's one of the things I'm watching in this game. Look,

978
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,440
we saw what happened last time out against the Jets.

979
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,360
He got roughed up that offensive line, in particular in

980
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,639
the middle where the Lions do you have some strength

981
00:48:39,679 --> 00:48:44,280
with DJ Reeder and Aleem McNeil. Houston's been vulnerable there,

982
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,960
so the Lions have to find a way to impact

983
00:48:48,039 --> 00:48:52,039
him or else he can make these receivers into big

984
00:48:52,079 --> 00:48:54,440
play guys and that can be problematic for Detroit. So

985
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,719
I think if you're looking at this game, that's something

986
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,400
to keep an eye on. Is Detroit getting a pass

987
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,920
rush or is Houston able to function offensively with Stroud

988
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,960
kind of having time back there, And if that is,

989
00:49:06,199 --> 00:49:07,559
that's problematic for Detroit.

990
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 2: Well, the reality is, Dan as we speak here in

991
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,840
the middle of the day, it's the sixty four thousand

992
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,679
dollars question. Is Nico just practicing or is he going

993
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,239
to try to plan Sunday. We'll obviously know more in

994
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,239
the next twenty four hours. The last time a Detroit

995
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,920
team played a Houston team, it was to and out

996
00:49:23,119 --> 00:49:26,400
for the Tigers over the Astros. I've got the Pistons,

997
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,119
Rockets on Sunday, you've got the Texans and Lions. This

998
00:49:30,199 --> 00:49:33,440
Detroit Houston series with all these teams have been elevated

999
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,679
here in the last thirty days or so.

1000
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fun. And then you know, the the Houston's

1001
00:49:39,639 --> 00:49:42,199
done a nice job with their basketball team, the Pistons,

1002
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,679
I think kind of looked at fans looked at those

1003
00:49:44,679 --> 00:49:46,960
two franchises. It's kind of moving at the same time.

1004
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,199
And last year, obviously, Houston moved a lot further than Detroit,

1005
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,239
so we're hoping to catch up in that regard. And

1006
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,480
you know, the Astros have kind of done some things

1007
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,760
that the Tigers would like to and the Lions know

1008
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,559
they got a tough game coming up this week. So

1009
00:49:59,559 --> 00:50:00,480
it's all good. It's fun.

1010
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 2: Save travels this week, and my friend, thank you very

1011

1019
00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:25,760
heard literally in the last couple of minutes, uh, we've

1020
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,119
got the designation to return to practice for Nico Collins.

1021
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:33,320
What that means, I don't know what this exact second.

1022
00:50:33,599 --> 00:50:36,159
Could things change the next handful of minutes or hours,

1023
00:50:36,599 --> 00:50:39,239
no question, we'll discuss that coming back in a moment.

1024
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,480
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven

1025
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:46,400
to one three two one two five seven ninety eleven

1026
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,719

1032
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 2: Eleven eighteen on Sports Talk seven ninety It is about

1033
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,360
Thomas Show with Ross. We are with you today until

1034
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,440
two o'clock this afternoon. If you want to jump in

1035
00:51:12,559 --> 00:51:15,639
on the conversation, you can and anything goes Friday at

1036
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,480
seven one three two one two five is seven ninety

1037
00:51:18,519 --> 00:51:22,320
seven one three two one two five seven ninety so literally,

1038
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:27,039
ROSSI just a handful of minutes ago, they designated Nico

1039
00:51:27,199 --> 00:51:33,719
Collins back to practice. Now at this point, no one

1040
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,599
knows what that means. I think Dimico's gonna speak in

1041
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:39,599
a little about an hour from now. I don't know

1042
00:51:39,599 --> 00:51:41,400
that for sure. I'm trying to get a time on that.

1043
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,199
Jonathan Alexander beat right up for the Texans, seemed to

1044
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,360
think it's not a foregone conclusion that just because you

1045
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:56,800
return to practice means you play, but not immediately go ahead.

1046
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,199
The Houston Texans web Twitter account, it's making a big

1047
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:07,159
deal out of Niko returning. They are what do they do? Well?

1048
00:52:07,199 --> 00:52:10,800
They put a big logo of him on there saying

1049
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,039
he's back to practicing. I mean they didn't do that

1050
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:18,800
when the left guard Jared Patterson came back and to

1051
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,239
make a big deal out of that. He wasn't designated

1052
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,000
to return from IR and their star wide receiver Matt

1053
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,400
I know, but if he's not, if he's going to

1054
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,119
if he's not going to play, you wouldn't make a

1055
00:52:31,159 --> 00:52:32,440
super big deal out of him.

1056
00:52:32,519 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 3: I'm not no, I'm not going to The Twitter admin

1057
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,000
is there. I'm not going there. The Twitter admin is

1058
00:52:40,039 --> 00:52:41,440
tipping the hand of the Texans.

1059
00:52:44,519 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: I I know from working around teams that you don't

1060
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,239
make big deals of certain things and you make big

1061
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,400
deals of other things. Well, November six that we have

1062
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,119
we have signed Jaden Peevee to the practice squad. There's

1063
00:52:54,159 --> 00:52:57,679
a big Jade and Peevie graphic. Yeah, but Jade peeve

1064
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:58,800
is a huge difference maker.

1065
00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm trying to think who is who else has

1066
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,320
been activated from IR at some point this season.

1067
00:53:07,639 --> 00:53:09,559
Speaker 2: For the Texans. Nobody. He's been the only player in

1068
00:53:09,559 --> 00:53:13,039
the IR that's coming back. Yeah, So I'm trying.

1069
00:53:13,079 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 3: I'm going through this since we're going down the social

1070
00:53:15,519 --> 00:53:16,440
media rabbit.

1071
00:53:16,199 --> 00:53:22,079
Speaker 2: Hole now, I'm telling you so if you're looking for buzz, it's.

1072
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,679
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a picture of Nico Collins and it

1073
00:53:23,679 --> 00:53:26,480
says we Nico Collins has been designated for return slash

1074
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,559
return to practice and we have made another roster move.

1075
00:53:31,119 --> 00:53:36,519
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't I don't know the time. I can't

1076
00:53:36,559 --> 00:53:38,400
even get I can't even guess the timing on this.

1077
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I mean, what's gonna happen? I think players

1078
00:53:42,519 --> 00:53:45,079
get designated for a return and it takes weeks for

1079
00:53:45,119 --> 00:53:46,559
them to come back sometimes.

1080
00:53:46,199 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 2: That's right. That's because he's designated return, doesn't mean he's

1081
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,039
actually gonna be on the practice field today. We don't

1082
00:53:50,039 --> 00:53:53,320
even You just officially started a clock as when you started. Yeah,

1083
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,360
it's a twenty one day window, so they have twenty

1084
00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:03,559
one days to reactivate him from ir dang. I think

1085
00:54:03,599 --> 00:54:07,639
people at least on the social media streets are first

1086
00:54:07,639 --> 00:54:09,960
of all happy to see this second law now, hopeful

1087
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,559
that he might be able to go. But you're talking

1088
00:54:13,599 --> 00:54:16,519
about now again. I guess the question is is can

1089
00:54:16,559 --> 00:54:21,760
you have secret practices and run around and do things

1090
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,920
away from the official team practices. Oh, you're going deep

1091
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,320
in the weeds now I'm going I'm doing it. I'm

1092
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:28,679
doing it.

1093
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 3: The secret shrouded Nico Collins practices to throw off Dan

1094
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,400
Campbell and the lunch. They're having secret practices now.

1095
00:54:38,079 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 2: To bakouts, secret workouts.

1096
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,159
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's working out privately. But is he back.

1097
00:54:44,199 --> 00:54:47,000
I don't know. I'm gonna still guess. No, he didn't

1098
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,840
practice on Wednesday, he didn't practice on Thursday. Unless they're

1099
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,119
saying he's really really rip rareing to go and if

1100
00:54:52,119 --> 00:54:54,320
he if he goes through a walkthrough or whatever today

1101
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,320
and he's going to start on Sunday. That's possible if

1102
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,559
he's as ready. It would make sense because I mean

1103
00:54:59,599 --> 00:55:01,880
Aaron will and is plugged in man as we know,

1104
00:55:02,039 --> 00:55:03,679
we have no reason to doubt him. And he said

1105
00:55:03,679 --> 00:55:08,280
one ready to go, so that would make that make

1106
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:08,920
more sense.

1107
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so let's call our shot. Is he

1108
00:55:11,119 --> 00:55:14,519
playing Sunday? I say, no, dang it, I was looking

1109
00:55:14,519 --> 00:55:16,440
for us for you to be on different pages. Why,

1110
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:18,880
because this is easier that way.

1111
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:25,519
Speaker 3: I will still say no. What did our friend Jonathan

1112
00:55:25,559 --> 00:55:27,639
a friend of the show, Jonathan Alexander say.

1113
00:55:28,679 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 2: He somebody sent him a tweet and said, is this

1114
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,159
an indication that he's just coming back to practice or

1115
00:55:33,159 --> 00:55:34,760
he's coming back to practice to play on Sunday? And

1116
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,760
he goes more of this is just coming back to practice.

1117
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 3: M h, that's what that would be my guess as well. Well,

1118
00:55:44,039 --> 00:55:45,159
I mean Jonathan knows more than.

1119
00:55:45,119 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 2: I do obviously. Well, I've a bought a lot of things, obviously,

1120
00:55:48,679 --> 00:55:51,239
in particular about the Texans. All right, so I think

1121
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,280
it's at least a positive sign. It is a positive

1122
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,960
sign that at least the clock is started as compared

1123
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,920
to just sitting around with I think a lot of this,

1124
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:03,599
honestly is ross is because this game is such a

1125
00:56:03,599 --> 00:56:06,159
big game on Sunday. I mean, this is a legitimate

1126
00:56:06,559 --> 00:56:09,079
Super Bowl contender coming into your building, and you want

1127
00:56:09,119 --> 00:56:15,360
to have as many bullets you know, available to you.

1128
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,119
Speaker 3: In the clip or magazine as they say.

1129
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, ready to fire off. I don't know, it may

1130
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,840
it may just be coincidental, and that's probably what I

1131
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:26,559
would lean toward.

1132
00:56:26,599 --> 00:56:28,639
Speaker 3: I think he would have been activated earlier if he were,

1133
00:56:28,679 --> 00:56:30,199
if he were really ready to go, why would they

1134
00:56:30,199 --> 00:56:32,199
wait till Friday to activate him and practice him?

1135
00:56:33,039 --> 00:56:35,039
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, Like I said, we'll try to get an

1136
00:56:35,039 --> 00:56:37,639
answer for you before the the close of the show today,

1137
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,039
as Damika will speak one last time. I don't think

1138
00:56:41,039 --> 00:56:43,079
they carry the press couch. Is more likely. What do

1139
00:56:43,159 --> 00:56:44,880
you have for me before I leave? Kind of questions?

1140
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,239
All right, So a bit of good news, but maybe

1141
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:50,159
not enough good news.

1142
00:56:51,559 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 3: It's he's trending in the right direction, You're probably look,

1143
00:56:54,639 --> 00:56:56,719
are you automatically gonna win this game? You're probably gonna

1144
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,639
lose either way with the Lions in town.

1145
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,559
Speaker 2: So that that's not the better Red Ross. I know

1146
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,039
what do you mean better? Red Ross think there's always hope,

1147
00:57:05,039 --> 00:57:08,719
There's always then there's a chance. You're telling me there's

1148
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,239
a chance they got a shot. I'm telling you if

1149
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,000
the Texans beat the Lions, it'll be don't want to

1150
00:57:16,039 --> 00:57:17,480
sell this too hard, Yeah, go ahead and do it.

1151
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,039
The biggest regular season win in the last five years

1152
00:57:21,079 --> 00:57:25,159
for the Texans. Hmm Uh?

1153
00:57:25,159 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 3: What was the game we were saying last year was

1154
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,440
their biggest win in the in their regular season? Was

1155
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,159
it one of their was it one of their games

1156
00:57:32,159 --> 00:57:35,599
that basically clinched them the division? I can't remember, well,

1157
00:57:35,639 --> 00:57:37,360
I mean this was the last was it last week

1158
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:38,159
against the Colts?

1159
00:57:39,519 --> 00:57:42,039
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, to win the AFC South. Absolutely, it was

1160
00:57:42,039 --> 00:57:46,559
the biggest. Yeah, that's a bigger win. Yeah, but the

1161
00:57:46,559 --> 00:57:51,760
Colts suck. They sucked last year. And if not for

1162
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:56,320
that bad toss? Uh who was the quarterback for the

1163
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,960
Colts last year? Wasn't because Richmond was out? Richardson started

1164
00:58:00,119 --> 00:58:03,920
and then I don't even remembers was it? Yeah? I

1165
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:04,360
think you're right.

1166
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 3: I think it was Garden Minshew. Okay, yeah, but yeah,

1167
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:09,880
they had to win. They had to win to win

1168
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,679
the Clinton Division. The last week of the season, I

1169
00:58:11,719 --> 00:58:12,280
guess that was.

1170
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, you had to go to Indianapolis to

1171
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:15,679
do it, so I will give them credit on that.

1172
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,320
But this is this is a biggie. It's a big one.

1173
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,639
I mean it's not even it's not even the conference.

1174
00:58:20,679 --> 00:58:23,159
Speaker 3: That's another reason why, Like, if you want to wait

1175
00:58:23,199 --> 00:58:26,480
an extra week on Nico Collins, I mean, you get

1176
00:58:26,519 --> 00:58:28,519
the Cowboys, not like the Cowboys are in conference either,

1177
00:58:28,559 --> 00:58:32,119
but have them ready. You want him ready for Titans, Jaguars, Dolphins, Chiefs.

1178
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 2: You're not You're not getting any you're not winning any

1179
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,400
tie breakers because I think regardless, you're gonna be the

1180
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,679
fourth team record wise all the all the division teams.

1181
00:58:42,159 --> 00:58:47,679
Speaker 3: Uh, let's see how many losses Baltimore Baltimotimore seven and three.

1182
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,280
Baltimore losing last night would have been good. Oh, that'd

1183
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:55,880
have been huge, huge, huge, But the Bengals couldn't get

1184
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,119
a two point conversion and the referees didn't want to call.

1185
00:58:58,519 --> 00:59:02,559
Speaker 2: Uh Joe Burrow getting a blow to the head. That's

1186
00:59:02,639 --> 00:59:07,360
two face masks they missed in that one game. Yeah,

1187
00:59:07,719 --> 00:59:11,519
that would have been helpful. Okay, let's go seven one three,

1188
00:59:11,599 --> 00:59:13,559
two one two five seven out If you want to

1189
00:59:13,559 --> 00:59:15,519
get in on anything we've talked about so far. We

1190
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:18,199
mentioned Bregman going to second base potentially as part of

1191
00:59:18,239 --> 00:59:21,639
a what a resume, Chip, I guess is what you

1192
00:59:21,679 --> 00:59:23,960
want to call in on that. We We have the

1193
00:59:24,079 --> 00:59:27,039
Rockets against the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight, We've got the

1194
00:59:27,199 --> 00:59:30,000
Lions and Texans on Sunday. What's the big college game

1195
00:59:30,039 --> 00:59:34,920
this weekend? Uh LSU Alabama. I think Gordy's already halfway

1196
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:40,559
over there. Gordy gets a lot of vacation time for

1197
00:59:40,679 --> 00:59:41,280
LSU sports.

1198
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 3: I think he's he's cracking a drive through Dacre as

1199
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:44,840
we speak.

1200
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,639
Speaker 2: Probably is that what it is? That what he's doing. Yeah,

1201
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:52,239
he's not going through a convenience store in Lafayette for

1202
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:53,000
some cracklings.

1203
00:59:53,159 --> 00:59:57,039
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and a drive through Dacory. I'm gonna go

1204
00:59:57,079 --> 01:00:00,199
with Georgia. Georgia at Ole miss probably a bigger.

1205
01:00:01,719 --> 01:00:04,239
Speaker 2: Well, the big games always involved the Houston Cougars. In fact,

1206
01:00:04,239 --> 01:00:06,840
it's so big the next game against Arizona's on a

1207
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,199
national TV stage next Friday night, all by ourselves. They

1208
01:00:10,239 --> 01:00:12,079
haven't been in a big game since the late eighties.

1209
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,880
That's not true. We dispose of the of the Florida

1210
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,400
State community College in the Peach Bowl.

1211
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 3: That's true against their third string quarterback. Great jobs, because

1212
01:00:22,039 --> 01:00:23,239
the first two were afraid to play us.

1213
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 2: They were scared.

1214
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,599
Speaker 3: They were quicking into our boots. They wouldn't leave. They

1215
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,519
refuse to leave the hotel room. Is that the way

1216
01:00:27,559 --> 01:00:29,880
you're selling it? That's the way I saw I was

1217
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,719
in Atlanta for a few days. I know exactly how

1218
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:32,199

the h Town Rockets jerseys that are going to be

1242
01:01:49,559 --> 01:01:52,159
out in debuting in a few weeks. Yes, I did,

1243
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,960
h Town, big font, big logo, kind of an ode

1244
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,760
back to the thirty the two championship times. Mm hmmm,

1245
01:02:01,079 --> 01:02:04,400
kind of yeah. I mean it's got it's got ketchup

1246
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,039
and mustard in it, so we can always go with that.

1247
01:02:06,079 --> 01:02:08,199
I got the drop shot. What's the mustard on the

1248
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,280
Nike swosh? I no mustard on it. I thought there

1249
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,000
was a little mustard. So there's the ketchup and mustard

1250
01:02:12,079 --> 01:02:13,760
logo is on the shorts. I like the shorts.

1251
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,639
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and that the swooshes. I guess mustard or

1252
01:02:17,679 --> 01:02:18,440
where would you call that?

1253
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 2: Djon? I would call it more like a spicy mustard,

1254
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:27,719
like a stone, like a stone ground exactly exactly. Uh

1255
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,960
you were you got a pull question yesterday about the

1256
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,239
Baltimore Oh yes, I did. People. Let's see what do

1257
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:35,320
the folks say. I don't even know.

1258
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:40,599
Speaker 3: I love Twitter polls Baltimore Ravens Purple Rising uniforms fifty

1259
01:02:40,639 --> 01:02:47,239
seven percent good, forty three percent not good. Matt your thought.

1260
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,039
You know a lot of people calling them Crown Royal sacks.

1261
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 2: The helmet was the weirdest part. The other jersey, the

1262
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,320
the tops they won before. I mean, they've done that.

1263
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:58,400
That's the color rush.

1264
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 3: The screaming red eyed raven that was.

1265
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was angry, is what he was. Yes, he was.

1266
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,599
He was definitely angry, you know. You know, for me,

1267
01:03:09,679 --> 01:03:12,800
I have a different approach about uniforms in the NBA

1268
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,280
than maybe the most people do. I just want to

1269
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,639
be able to identify the numbers and players. If I

1270
01:03:17,679 --> 01:03:19,760
can't figure out who's out there and I'm really far

1271
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,599
away from the game, it sucks. You gotta start bringing

1272
01:03:23,599 --> 01:03:26,800
your binoculars. I'm gonna have probably have to. But yeah,

1273
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,400
that's so they' w debut and those what I think

1274
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,119
sometime next week, I think is what they're gonna do.

1275
01:03:31,199 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, I mean I like them, They're fine.

1276
01:03:34,719 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I could ever get Ketch him and Mustard

1277
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,320
full time, back in the organization. I don't know if

1278
01:03:38,519 --> 01:03:41,440
they would go go way back back to the traditionals

1279
01:03:41,559 --> 01:03:43,320
or they would just give it, you know, a like

1280
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:45,000
an updated modern version of.

1281
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 3: Him over under twenty four hours before Clinton has a

1282
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,840
jacket with this logo and stuff on it.

1283
01:03:50,719 --> 01:03:52,599
Speaker 2: Oh, he's already probably got at least two jackets.

1284
01:03:55,239 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 3: He's got more jackets. There are cold days in this town.

1285
01:03:58,079 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 2: I know he's dressing like he lives in buffal Love.

1286
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,159
Speaker 3: Now it works as a snowplower.

1287
01:04:04,639 --> 01:04:07,679
Speaker 2: The Tota Center is a cold arena. I mean, I'll

1288
01:04:07,679 --> 01:04:09,760
give him that. So we have to dress form in

1289
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:14,159
that building. Mm hm. But yeah, he's and our studios

1290
01:04:14,159 --> 01:04:16,760
are not there. There are sometimes art we have. We

1291
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,880
have a thermostat. Yeah. But poor Connor, he's well, he

1292
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:24,000
doesn't have control of his he it's it's it's Eskimo

1293
01:04:24,119 --> 01:04:26,840
level in there. It's pretty bad. He does the producing

1294
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,840
of the show from the Greenland portion of our iHeart company.

1295
01:04:30,039 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 3: So I need gloves. We're gonna have to get you

1296
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,599
some gloves. I can't type, shaky.

1297
01:04:37,239 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 2: Tell tell the audience right now what the temperature is

1298
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:40,880
in your room? Do you have any idea?

1299
01:04:41,119 --> 01:04:43,519
Speaker 10: I don't have control of thermats. Yeah, there's gotta be like

1300
01:04:43,679 --> 01:04:44,480
fifty or something.

1301
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's crazy.

1302
01:04:45,679 --> 01:04:48,199
Speaker 3: For whatever reason, a studio down the hole controls his

1303
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,599
and it makes his colder.

1304
01:04:50,239 --> 01:04:52,159
Speaker 2: Than it is in there. I could see my breath.

1305
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,679
Speaker 3: He's making a snowman. Actually, well, here's what you have

1306
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:56,960
to do.

1307
01:04:57,039 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 2: Not that I'm giving the advice, but why don't you

1308
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,440
go ahead and get the full ammonia and then you

1309
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,000
could sue the company and you can not have some

1310
01:05:05,119 --> 01:05:08,360
good money. Now granted you get some time off. No,

1311
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,079
granted you wouldn't be able to breathe on your own,

1312
01:05:10,119 --> 01:05:13,320
but you know there are some benefits to it, you know,

1313
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,480
taking one for the team, so to speak.

1314
01:05:15,519 --> 01:05:17,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great advice. Mat Why don't we have him

1315
01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:20,480
damage his lungs long term?

1316
01:05:20,519 --> 01:05:22,599
Speaker 2: All right, I'm just throwing out the suggestion. That's all

1317
01:05:22,639 --> 01:05:23,199
I was trying to do.

1318
01:05:23,239 --> 01:05:26,519
Speaker 10: Will you guys testify on my behalf. I'm gonna be

1319
01:05:26,519 --> 01:05:27,360
out of town with the rockets.

1320
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 2: Probably not.

1321
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,239
Speaker 3: You cut me in on the settlement, then yes, all right, deal.

1322
01:05:32,119 --> 01:05:33,199
That's a big type deal.

1323
01:05:33,679 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 2: By the way, Ross, you should explain to the audience

1324
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,519
why you should not be cutting deals about settlements because

1325
01:05:37,519 --> 01:05:40,119
you've been burned once. Oh, we don't have to talk

1326
01:05:40,119 --> 01:05:44,800
about that. Oh, come on, it's good. You know. I'm

1327
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,719
wishing everyone the best. God, you're so diplomatic it makes

1328
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:53,559
me vomit. That's funny. I forgot about that until you

1329
01:05:53,599 --> 01:05:55,400
just brought it up. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to

1330
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,559
do that. I'll just say it. Ross was involved in

1331
01:05:58,599 --> 01:06:02,760
a situation he could have very easily taken gotten some

1332
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,480
financial compensation for it, and somebody said I'll handle it

1333
01:06:05,519 --> 01:06:09,239
and give you part of it, and the guy ghosted him. So, yeah,

1334
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,400
it's in a nutshell. Not that we're bringing up bad memories.

1335
01:06:13,559 --> 01:06:14,199
In a nutshell.

1336
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I wasn't injured in the accident, so to

1337
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,199
sue for it would have been I mean it would

1338
01:06:19,199 --> 01:06:21,079
have been I would have been lying.

1339
01:06:21,599 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 2: So you wore the neck brace for two weeks just

1340
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,760
for your health. Yes, I thought it looked cool. It

1341
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,760
didn't look bad. Seven one three two one two five

1342
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:32,960
seven outis seven one three two one two five seven out.

1343
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:34,800
If you want to jump into the conversation, we're with

1344
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,199
you today until two o'clock. What is the town of

1345
01:06:37,239 --> 01:06:39,639
Houston buzzing about right now? Rossie, I mean, we've kind

1346
01:06:39,639 --> 01:06:41,400
of gone over some bregmant. We've did a little bit

1347
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:43,719
on the Rockets, We've done a lot on the Texans.

1348
01:06:44,599 --> 01:06:48,519
Got a lion's perspective. Yes, what do the people want

1349
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,320
if anything goes Friday? Yeah? I don't even know what's

1350
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:54,360
going on this weekend. I mean, I know I'm here

1351
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,599
in Oklahoma. They want Brent Venables fired as a coach

1352
01:06:56,599 --> 01:06:58,320
as sooner as I take that for sure. They went

1353
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,320
him fired yesterday? Oh an't they just there? I mean,

1354
01:07:01,559 --> 01:07:03,039
how long you hit this? His second year there or

1355
01:07:03,119 --> 01:07:06,960
third got to be his third because he replaced Lincoln

1356
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:08,440
Riley who went to the USC. By the way, those

1357
01:07:08,519 --> 01:07:10,559
USC fans won him fire two boy in Oklahoma not

1358
01:07:10,639 --> 01:07:12,440
a great place to go get your football coaches.

1359
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just everybody's gonna want everybody fired unless

1360
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,320
you're ripping off championships every year, which just isn't realistic.

1361
01:07:19,199 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 2: Did you hear what was it? I think it was

1362
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,679
Sean or maybe Brian this morning was saying that if

1363
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,239
USC really wanted to go fix things, you go give

1364
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,039
Nick Saban twenty million dollars a year to go, you know,

1365
01:07:32,159 --> 01:07:34,519
finish his college career. Go at USC. For three or

1366
01:07:34,519 --> 01:07:39,199
four years and you know, get that program fixed. That's ridiculous.

1367
01:07:39,679 --> 01:07:42,599
But we're hearing that in the NFL about Bill Belichick.

1368
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,079
Speaker 3: And then nobody, nobody wanted him.

1369
01:07:44,599 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1370
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 2: Do you think you think Belichick's done done? You really

1371
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:48,400
think he is?

1372
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 3: I God, feel no gud feeling he'll take one more job.

1373
01:07:57,880 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think it's one. I mean, think about it.

1374
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,079
In sports, in the last ten years, we've seen Bruce

1375
01:08:03,119 --> 01:08:07,639
Bochi retire and go coach, the managers, the managers, other

1376
01:08:07,719 --> 01:08:12,840
brand managers, the Rangers. We have seen Mac Brown go

1377
01:08:13,199 --> 01:08:16,920
coach at North Carolina. He's on the hot seat over there.

1378
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:18,439
I think, oh, he is on the hot seat. But

1379
01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:20,439
you can't be mad at Mac. He's like seventy years old.

1380
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:21,840
How can you be mad at Mac at this point,

1381
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,079
especially when you know when when Sally makes up the

1382
01:08:25,199 --> 01:08:27,239
warm apple cobbler for the team on Thursday nights.

1383
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 3: But if you're a Bill Belichick, I mean you're making

1384
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,560
millions to hang out with the man he's on Monday

1385
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,039
and do a couple of things on ESPN. You got

1386
01:08:35,079 --> 01:08:36,680
a ton of young girl, you got a twenty four

1387
01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:41,439
year old girlfriend, You're you're already lauded as as probably

1388
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,000
the greatest NFL head coach of all time. You're in

1389
01:08:45,119 --> 01:08:49,319
your seventies, what is he seventy five? Seventy looks like

1390
01:08:49,399 --> 01:08:50,560
it looks like he's seventy two.

1391
01:08:54,199 --> 01:08:56,399
Speaker 2: Well, we just elected a president with seventy eight, So

1392
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,239
seventy seventies are now the new sixties or the new

1393
01:08:59,319 --> 01:09:07,760
fifty fives. Okay, I mean, you know, regardless of age,

1394
01:09:08,359 --> 01:09:11,079
I just don't think coaches ever want to ever stop coaching.

1395
01:09:11,279 --> 01:09:14,439
They It just they just can't sit and relax.

1396
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,600
Speaker 3: After this, Can we put an age limit on the presidency?

1397
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:18,960
By the way, because the current president is way too old,

1398
01:09:19,159 --> 01:09:21,000
and I think by the end of this term this

1399
01:09:21,319 --> 01:09:23,479
president is that the president elect is going to be

1400
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:24,000
too old too.

1401
01:09:25,399 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 2: No, I want you know what I'm looking for. I'm

1402
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,960
looking for a nine year old president next card, seriously, seriously,

1403
01:09:30,039 --> 01:09:34,119
as old as possible. Technically, Joey b can run again.

1404
01:09:35,119 --> 01:09:41,560
I mean he could. Like by the way, Dana Carvey's

1405
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,520
we need term limits and Dinna Carvey's is pretty good.

1406
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:49,560
Oh my god, his Joe Biden is really good, really good.

1407
01:09:51,199 --> 01:09:54,520
It's almost as good as Maya Rudolph's. Kamala Harris now

1408
01:09:54,640 --> 01:10:00,239
Maya russ Kamala Harris is is immaculate. She's like, damn,

1409
01:10:00,279 --> 01:10:02,079
I lost on the potential revenue with the with the

1410
01:10:02,119 --> 01:10:04,279
election change. What do they what do you pay my

1411
01:10:04,399 --> 01:10:06,359
Rudolphs not on the cast? So what do they pay

1412
01:10:06,399 --> 01:10:08,039
her every week to come on? Or how does that work?

1413
01:10:08,199 --> 01:10:09,000
That cameo price?

1414
01:10:09,039 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 3: You know, like what's the cameo price?

1415
01:10:11,399 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what. I don't know what. What is

1416
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,479
Lauren Michael's paying for these days for for cameo appearances?

1417
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:19,560
Oh no, because I think you go back on SNL

1418
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:20,880
once you've been on there, you go back for the

1419
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,039
first time so people can cheer you and say, oh man,

1420
01:10:23,119 --> 01:10:25,760
we missed you after about the ninth time. You want

1421
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:31,199
to get some cash. Alec Balm was doing all those

1422
01:10:31,239 --> 01:10:32,960
Trump things for a while and now he's back as

1423
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:37,359
Brett Bayer of Fox News. Brett Who Brett Bayer? He's

1424
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:40,399
the anchor on Fox News at Night. Okay, the world

1425
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:41,920
jet black hair. You know what I'm talking about? You know,

1426
01:10:42,079 --> 01:10:43,800
I don't. I mean, maybe I've seen him before, but

1427
01:10:44,359 --> 01:10:46,840
I'm not aware of who you're talking about. Okay, Well,

1428
01:10:47,159 --> 01:10:51,520
he's he's been he got acquitted of the shooting charges

1429
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,600
in that movie set. And now he's like, oh, okay,

1430
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:55,920
I thought you said we're talking about Brett Bayer. No,

1431
01:10:56,159 --> 01:10:57,399
we're talk about Alec Balwood.

1432
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,199
Speaker 3: Dang Brett Bear. I didn't know he was black and

1433
01:11:00,239 --> 01:11:00,760
own fools.

1434
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 2: Okay boy, this segment went about fifteen different directions. Totally

1435
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:08,359
my fault.

1436
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,079
Speaker 3: Welcome to the four hour format.

1437
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 2: It's fine, Rossy explaining the essence real quick of anything.

1438
01:11:15,079 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 3: Let's see if you want to talk about presidential term limits.

1439
01:11:18,399 --> 01:11:22,439
Oh no, well, that presidential term element on presidents. Why

1440
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,800
don't we have term limits on senators and representatives?

1441
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:30,319
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, but I digress seven one three two one

1442
01:11:30,359 --> 01:11:35,560
too fine, remote, we have presidential term limits on congress

1443
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,000
and mayors and governors.

1444
01:11:40,399 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean, is anybody not in favor of that? And

1445
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,079
we got to get rid of this sectoral electoral college too.

1446
01:11:46,159 --> 01:11:47,279
We're going on this Friday.

1447
01:11:47,399 --> 01:11:48,920

01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,000
a five minute music ben then do four live commercials

1449
01:11:51,039 --> 01:11:57,479
after that? Mm hmm. That is very inside radio, but

1450
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:01,159
it's good. Thank you, Matt. All Right, anything goes Friday.

1451

01:13:04,079 --> 01:13:06,880
do you value his football acumen and opinion?

1469
01:13:10,279 --> 01:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Yes?

1470
01:13:11,359 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 2: Okay, we've got a SoundBite of him talking about c J. Stroud. Okay,

1471
01:13:17,279 --> 01:13:18,640
we might want to play during the News at noon.

1472
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:23,159
We got that we got rockets tonight. Astro movement quiet

1473

Ryan Presley is gonna be discussed and possible trade conversations. Oh,

1475
01:13:31,279 --> 01:13:33,800

01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:35,840
question and said, hey, who would be your in your

1477
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:44,640
top five of presidential impersonations on Saturday Night Live? Okay,

1478
01:13:46,119 --> 01:13:50,159
this is candidates and not this is elected officials and

1479
01:13:50,199 --> 01:13:53,439
not elected officials, right, because Dana carbon did a good

1480
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,279
Ross Parole back in the day, but Ross pro never

1481
01:13:55,319 --> 01:13:59,039
got elected. H Okay, I'll give you that.

1482
01:13:59,159 --> 01:14:02,359
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Daryl Hammond as as Bill Clinton number one.

1483
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 2: Really, yes, I'm gonna go Dana Carvey is George Bush

1484
01:14:09,039 --> 01:14:13,640
number one or Will Ferrell as George the second Bush

1485
01:14:15,079 --> 01:14:17,560
in that as a number one. Well, there's there's some

1486
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:18,199
tough ones.

1487
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 3: Hm, Fantasy five today.

1488
01:14:25,279 --> 01:14:29,159
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know. They're all good. They're not all good.

1489
01:14:30,279 --> 01:14:31,520
Like I don't who was bad.

1490
01:14:33,039 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 3: Fred Armison as Obama wasn't great?

1491
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: Oh that's true, that's true.

1492
01:14:40,119 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 3: I mean Alec Baldwin as Donny t is pretty good?

1493
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was it? Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton was

1494
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,520
pretty good? H Yeah?

1495
01:14:53,279 --> 01:14:56,119
Speaker 3: Is you know what I might have if we're counting nominees,

1496
01:14:56,159 --> 01:14:58,880
that's probably number one. I mean, she sounds exactly like her.

1497
01:14:59,239 --> 01:15:02,560
Speaker 2: That is true. But I'm telling you the sneaky into

1498
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:06,399
the top three list is Dana Carvey doing Jee Biden.

1499
01:15:09,279 --> 01:15:16,520
Hmm okay, I I think I think it's when he

1500
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,199
does the hey, when he does like the hey, that

1501
01:15:19,319 --> 01:15:20,960
part is perfect, But then I think the rest of

1502
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:22,199
the impression is just okay.

1503
01:15:22,279 --> 01:15:25,159
Speaker 3: If that's that makes sense. Uh, you're saying that one

1504
01:15:25,279 --> 01:15:27,359
facet of it is one facet of is is like

1505
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:28,960
ten out of ten, and then the rest of it's

1506
01:15:29,039 --> 01:15:29,560
kind of okay.

1507
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 2: Well, how about when Dana Carr when no Will Ferrell

1508
01:15:33,039 --> 01:15:35,800
was doing George Bush and saying strategery.

1509
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 3: Oh well, yeah, see that's also too.

1510
01:15:39,119 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 2: That was more.

1511
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:44,359
Speaker 3: That was Will Ferrell. Will Ferrell does a great job

1512
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:47,199
of doing an impression. But as Will Ferrell kind of like,

1513
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:49,720
what was it who used to do Bob Dole back

1514
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:52,279
in the day when it was when Norm McDonald would

1515
01:15:52,319 --> 01:15:54,199
really do dan Aykroyd doing Bob Dole.

1516
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,039
Speaker 2: That's actually true, Yeah, somebody impersonating somebody else, right, Yeah,

1517
01:15:58,039 --> 01:16:00,520
I get it, I get it, I get it. Who

1518
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:04,600
would be one? Man Maya doing Kamala was number one?

1519
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,680
Speaker 3: I think as far as like matching the mannerisms and voice.

1520
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:10,840
She she would have to be number one. If we

1521
01:16:11,399 --> 01:16:14,319
adding like entertainment value, that's when Will Ferrell's goes up.

1522
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,119
And then yeah, Dana Carvey's wouldn't be prudent and all

1523
01:16:17,199 --> 01:16:19,199
that stuff was great with juncture.

1524
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Dana doing George.

1525
01:16:22,119 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 3: The first Bush was right, Like Dana doing his impression

1526
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:28,199
of George. It wasn't dead on to who George was, right,

1527
01:16:28,319 --> 01:16:31,319
but his impression of him was so funny it became

1528
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,640
what people pictured. Uh, it was such a good impression.

1529
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:36,680
That's what people thought that George Bush acted like.

1530
01:16:37,079 --> 01:16:39,159
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. And matter of fact, George Bush wound

1531
01:16:39,239 --> 01:16:41,479
up having to take cues off of what Dana was saying,

1532
01:16:41,560 --> 01:16:44,720
like that and does that really mean? Let's go to

1533
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,079
a Jimmy and Tomball The Matt Thomas Show with Ross

1534
01:16:47,079 --> 01:16:50,880
at eleven fifty three. Jimmy, good morning, Good morning guys.

1535
01:16:51,119 --> 01:16:53,119
Speaker 9: I on Anything Goes Friday.

1536
01:16:53,359 --> 01:16:55,640
Speaker 4: Just I needed Matt, I need you to sort something

1537
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:56,119
out for me.

1538
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:57,640
Speaker 2: Am.

1539
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,399
Speaker 4: I got I got two very specific types of people

1540
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,319
that are irritating me really bad, and I need to

1541
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:06,800
know if I'm in the wrong or if they're just

1542
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:07,840
being turds.

1543
01:17:08,399 --> 01:17:08,680
Speaker 2: Okay.

1544
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,119
Speaker 4: The first is guy that wants to correct you when

1545
01:17:12,159 --> 01:17:15,479
you say you know Avarees had one hundred RBIs, well.

1546
01:17:15,399 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 9: You know it runs about it or beyond?

1547
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:20,159
Speaker 4: Is he the turd?

1548
01:17:20,279 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 11: Or am I just undertelling that guy is a douchebag?

1549
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:27,640
That okay, RB guy corrector guy is a douchebag. He

1550
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,159
wants to he wants you to be and let you

1551
01:17:30,319 --> 01:17:32,359
know that he's the smartest guy in the room. Now

1552
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,640
I can see way, honestly, but to correct me on it,

1553
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:36,279
it makes you.

1554
01:17:36,279 --> 01:17:38,039
Speaker 2: A douche Okay.

1555
01:17:38,159 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 4: Perfect second is and if I'm not mistaken, I think

1556
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,079
maybe you run into this issue before because I think

1557
01:17:44,199 --> 01:17:45,840
I might have heard you say before that you throw

1558
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:50,439
left handed. But when you're at an event little the church,

1559
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,359
so off all whatever, And you got a guy that

1560
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:54,560
needs a left handed glove?

1561
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:56,279
Speaker 9: Hey, anyone got a left handed glove?

1562
01:17:56,399 --> 01:17:56,560
Speaker 2: Well?

1563
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,079
Speaker 9: Did you go on your left hand or does he

1564
01:17:59,159 --> 01:18:02,840
throw right handed? Still technically it's a left handed Just

1565
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:05,479
I feel like the normal persons that should know what

1566
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:07,560
I mean when you're asking for a left handed glove,

1567
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,279
would you agree with that sentiment or should you be

1568
01:18:10,399 --> 01:18:12,720
more specific? Well, technically it goes on my right hand

1569
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:14,039
because I throw with my left hand.

1570
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 2: If somebody said to me I needed a left handed glove,

1571
01:18:18,199 --> 01:18:19,960
I would that would that to me, that would mean

1572
01:18:20,079 --> 01:18:21,640
I got to get somebody for a glove for his

1573
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:22,279
right hand.

1574
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 4: So it's just the opposite exactly, because they throw left handed.

1575
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,159
I feel like, again, that's what normal people would think.

1576
01:18:28,359 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just needed you're hanging out with. That's

1577
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:33,159
the thing I'm troubled by. Who are these people you're

1578
01:18:33,159 --> 01:18:33,640
hanging out with.

1579
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:39,199
Speaker 4: Well, the RBI one comes up just fairly often, not often,

1580
01:18:39,279 --> 01:18:42,520
but but the other one. When you're coaching little league,

1581
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,359
you run into some parents that are just think they're

1582
01:18:45,399 --> 01:18:47,520
so much better than everybody else and want to correct

1583
01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:51,119
you because you know they're kids left handed, but so

1584
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:55,600
technically it's a right handed glove. Okay, okay, whatever, Yeah.

1585
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,640
Speaker 2: We gotta you know what, Jimmy, we figured it out

1586
01:18:57,720 --> 01:18:59,199
for you, by the way, so we're all saying you

1587
01:18:59,319 --> 01:19:02,319
are not wrong them either. Account appreciate it.

1588
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,319
Speaker 9: That's what That's why I like you so much. You'll

1589
01:19:04,359 --> 01:19:05,000
have a good weekend.

1590
01:19:05,159 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 2: Thank you. By the way, Ross our buddy Hans listening

1594
01:19:22,119 --> 01:19:26,439
do it now, Tina Fey and Sarah Palin, that's a

1595
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:26,840
good one.

1596
01:19:27,119 --> 01:19:29,119
Speaker 3: I don't know if that. Yeah, maybe it's top three.

1597
01:19:29,199 --> 01:19:31,920
They're all they're they're all a good list. And by

1598
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,039
the way, I mean, RSBI is correct, Matt. Yeah, but

1599
01:19:35,119 --> 01:19:36,399
don't be a douche and correct people.

1600
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:39,359
Speaker 2: Just yeah, that's what you do. Just let people say

1601
01:19:39,399 --> 01:19:40,079
it the way they wanted to.

1602
01:19:40,319 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let I'm gonna every time you say RBI

1603
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:44,640
or RBI is now, I'm just gonna say, I'm actually

1604
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,079
mad at ours bid.

1605
01:19:46,279 --> 01:19:50,119
Speaker 2: That's why we hate you. That's that reason why people

1606
01:19:50,159 --> 01:19:52,920
have such disgust for you. I didn't know because you're correct,

1607
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:55,359
your guy, it's ridiculous.

1608
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:57,359
Speaker 3: Oh I'm sorry. I thought you'd need to know that

1609
01:19:57,399 --> 01:20:00,840
you're wrong. No, but I'm trying to make you not

1610
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,840
look like an idiot out there and correct Matt.

1611
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,399
Speaker 2: No, No, it's it runs fit. It runs fifty to

1612
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:08,760
fifty fifty percent of this country says our No, you

1613
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:11,560
know that's not true. Seventy five percent of this country

1614
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:17,039
says RBI's twenty five percent say RBI RBI.

1615
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:21,119
Speaker 3: I would say RBI and RBIs are correct. But if

1616
01:20:21,159 --> 01:20:25,000
you're going with RSBI, you're just being you're being a douche. Yeah,

1617
01:20:25,159 --> 01:20:28,359
nobody's saying oursbi's that's ridiculous. I mean, you say fifty

1618
01:20:28,399 --> 01:20:29,960
things a week that I don't correct. I just let

1619
01:20:30,039 --> 01:20:30,560
him fly by.

1620
01:20:31,079 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 2: You don't want to start correcting me some more? Sure,

1621
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:35,680
let's see how people We'll see how people will enjoy

1622
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:36,720
the program. Let's start with this.

dudes on dudes. I'm not gonna be happy about it

1687
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,159

Speaker 2: For the thickest, biggest I've ever seen in my entire life.

1689
01:24:24,359 --> 01:24:28,319
I literally had my vertebrae soar for like a half

01:24:28,319 --> 01:24:30,319
an hour. I mean, I guess you know what I

1691
01:24:30,319 --> 01:24:32,960
could do walking bets. That's gonna be a jiggle. We

1692
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,920
don't want to see or just have to suck it

1693
01:24:35,039 --> 01:24:35,359

1707
01:25:12,399 --> 01:25:15,239
Let's go to the news rooms. The man who's got

1708
01:25:15,279 --> 01:25:18,239
a pulse in the city, Houston, sports and things beyond,

1709
01:25:19,079 --> 01:25:24,119
to the news center. Here's Rossville Royale. Yes, Matthew news

1710
01:25:24,279 --> 01:25:31,319
coming out of Kirby today. Nicocollins, designated for return, has

1711
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:36,479
also returned to practice. The Texans have made a corresponding

1712
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:43,159
roster move, that being placing ken Yon Green on injured reserve.

1713
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:49,039
After activating Nico Collins, who was also spotted at practice

1714
01:25:49,079 --> 01:25:51,720
today and matt earlier, I was like, I don't know

1715
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:52,279
of putting a.

1716
01:25:52,279 --> 01:25:57,359
Speaker 3: Graphic of Nico Collins necessarily means he's gonna play. However, however,

1717
01:25:58,239 --> 01:26:04,119
right after that, there was a Houston Texans social media

1718
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:09,880
post filming Nico Collins walking and running around at practice

1719
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:15,640
and posted to their Twitter accounts. So I would say, then,

1720
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:19,159
I don't know you an apology, I do not You

1721
01:26:19,319 --> 01:26:22,199
said that that first post was a big social media pop,

1722
01:26:22,239 --> 01:26:24,079
and I said it was just it was just talking

1723
01:26:24,119 --> 01:26:26,720
about the uh, talking about the.

1724
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 2: Transaction this one.

1725
01:26:28,039 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 3: If you would have said this one with him getting

1726
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:31,880
a video of him at practice, I would agree. Now

1727
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:34,560
that I see this, I'm with you. The social media

1728
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:35,800
team is playing this up.

1729
01:26:40,079 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 2: One two three? Is he playing here? One two three?

1730
01:26:43,199 --> 01:26:43,239
Speaker 5: No?

1731
01:26:44,199 --> 01:26:50,319
Speaker 3: No, But I'm more on. I mean they're posting data.

1732
01:26:51,159 --> 01:26:53,880
They didn't post video of Jarrett Patterson returning to practice.

1733
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,079
That's true, but also, I mean Nico Collins is a

1734
01:26:57,159 --> 01:26:57,760
bigger star.

1735
01:27:00,159 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 2: You want to change the suit again? One two three No?

1736
01:27:06,079 --> 01:27:11,399
Speaker 3: No, Okay, Well let's read. Let's read the tea leaves

1737
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:13,840
the Okay, we mentioned.

1738
01:27:14,399 --> 01:27:16,560
Speaker 2: The first post by the social media team, which they

1739
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:18,640
do it for transactions. I don't think that was that

1740
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:19,199
big of a deal.

1741
01:27:19,279 --> 01:27:22,520
Speaker 3: But you add that into the video of impracticing, which

1742
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:25,960
definitely to me steps it up an ouch. And then

1743
01:27:26,039 --> 01:27:28,960
Aaron Wilson, who we trust said passed all tests one

1744
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:30,079
hundred percent ready to go.

1745
01:27:33,079 --> 01:27:35,560
Speaker 2: But you wouldn't take the field on Wednesday or Thursday

1746
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,000
just to get yourself ready after being gone these many weeks.

1747
01:27:38,039 --> 01:27:39,039
That's something I'm questioning.

1748
01:27:39,279 --> 01:27:42,239
Speaker 3: Is that a gamesmanship thing of Whe're like keeping it

1749
01:27:42,279 --> 01:27:44,319
close to the vest for the lions. I mean the

1750
01:27:44,399 --> 01:27:47,039
inactives come out an hour and a half before the game.

1751
01:27:47,199 --> 01:27:49,319
So to me, you don't really gain a whole lot.

1752
01:27:49,399 --> 01:27:52,520
But are the textans thinking they gain a whole lot

1753
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:56,680
and they're keeping they're not. They're gonna surprise activate Nico Collins,

1754
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:58,439
although wouldn't be a huge surprise at this point.

1755
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:03,319
Speaker 2: But I don't know. We will have to wait to

1756
01:28:03,399 --> 01:28:05,239
hear from Dimiico coming up in a few minutes. What

1757
01:28:05,319 --> 01:28:06,279
else is happening today?

1758
01:28:07,119 --> 01:28:11,119
Speaker 3: Also happening today, Matt? Your Houston Rockets taking on the

1759
01:28:11,159 --> 01:28:14,399
Oklahoma City Thunder. Of course you're over there. Have you

1760
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:16,760
looked at the point spread? And we know you can't bet, Matt,

1761
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:18,520
but have you looked at the point spread on this one?

1762
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:21,119
Speaker 2: It's funny. The NBA loves you to bet on things,

1763
01:28:21,319 --> 01:28:24,079
except just don't bet on the NF on the NBA. Yes,

1764
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:26,560
I have not looked, and I don't know if I

1765
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:27,039
want to look.

1766
01:28:27,239 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 3: Houston Rockets eight and a half point dogs to the

1767
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:35,800
Oklahoma City Thunder started off the season seven and oh now.

1768
01:28:36,199 --> 01:28:38,439
They lost, of course to the Denver Nuggets the other night,

1769
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,920
only by two points, and they settle in at home

1770
01:28:42,039 --> 01:28:45,520
for a big six game homestand first against the Rockets

1771
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:49,520
eight and a half point favorites are the Oklahoma City Thunder.

1772
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,359
Speaker 2: So you're saying there's a chance, then, uh.

1773
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:59,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a chance eight and a half scot that's

1774
01:28:59,079 --> 01:29:02,159
not insurmountable. Jalen Green gets hot, he start talking down threes.

1775
01:29:04,600 --> 01:29:07,640
Speaker 2: All right, I'm looking forward to calling another big, impressive

1776
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:09,399
win Rockets. Last time I played the Oklahoma City in

1777
01:29:09,399 --> 01:29:11,319
the regular season Game one in this building. By the way,

1778
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,560
is that right? Yeah? Uh?

1779
01:29:15,159 --> 01:29:17,960
Speaker 3: I mean that sounds vaguely familiar. I can't really, I

1780
01:29:18,039 --> 01:29:22,199
can't really honestly remember a call tells you that your

1781
01:29:22,239 --> 01:29:24,159
deep research or the print board that you get.

1782
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:26,479
Speaker 2: No, I'm working on it right now. I'm prepping on

1783
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:26,640
like a.

1784
01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:31,920
Speaker 3: Moto Okay elsewhere Matt in Sports Aaron Boone Yankees pick

1785
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:34,159
up his option. He is set to return as the

1786
01:29:34,279 --> 01:29:37,880
Yankees manager, and I'm sure Yankees fans everywhere upset.

1787
01:29:40,279 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, they hate him. They absolutely despise him. I

1788
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:44,520
think he can't manage out of a paper bag.

1789
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 3: Do you think he's a good manager or a bad manager?

1790
01:29:49,239 --> 01:29:50,239
You can only pick a one key.

1791
01:29:50,319 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 2: I would say he's just very much pedestrian, very very

1792
01:29:54,199 --> 01:29:55,399
middle of the road. If you will.

1793
01:29:56,359 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 3: I like when he imitates last he has his strikeout mechanic.

1794
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:01,600
That's always fun.

1795
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 2: He does get feisty with umpire give him credit for that.

1796
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:09,720
Speaker 3: And also in the news matter of course, the big

1797
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:13,039
Thursday night matchup last night, it was a shootout Joe

1798
01:30:13,119 --> 01:30:16,359
Burrow and Lamar Jackson. They got together in two games

1799
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,199
this year, both of them big time shootouts, with the

1800
01:30:19,239 --> 01:30:22,880
Baltimore Ravens winning both of them. Joe Burrow four hundred

1801
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:26,439
and twenty eight yards and four touchdowns. We know Jamar

1802
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:29,640
Chase went off for like fifty fantasy points, but Lamar

1803
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,960
Jackson twenty five to thirty three, two hundred and ninety yards,

1804
01:30:33,239 --> 01:30:34,760
four touchdowns.

1805
01:30:34,399 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 2: No picks. On the season, He's got twenty four touchdowns

1806
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:41,920
and two picks. Is he going to win the MVP again?

1807
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:46,000
He is going to win the MVP again because Baltimore

1808
01:30:46,079 --> 01:30:48,239
is gonna lock up the two seed and usually give

1809
01:30:48,279 --> 01:30:50,439
it to a quarterback and Pat Mahomes has not been

1810
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,880
good enough to be an MVP candidate this year, despite

1811
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,680
the fact the Chiefs are undefeated at this point. Lamar

1812
01:30:55,840 --> 01:31:00,760
Jackson is your NFL MVP, are you, Matt? That's your

1813
01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,359
news at noon all right, nothing on the offie weeks.

1860
01:33:36,279 --> 01:33:39,960
die yesterday about Kirk Herbstreet's dog passing away. I mean

1861
01:33:40,079 --> 01:33:43,000
it has gripped America. You know why because we all

1862
01:33:43,159 --> 01:33:44,960

Street getting everyone attached to his dog that was about

1865
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:52,000
to die. This is your fault, Kirk. Now, I'm all

1866
01:33:52,079 --> 01:33:55,479
sad about some dog I never met. I think it

1867
01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:58,000
was a very popular dog. He lived a good life.

1868
01:33:58,079 --> 01:34:05,359
I mean have been Ben Herb Street. I don't know.

1869
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:07,439
I'm taking a day off on my dogs die. I

1870
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:08,479
can take that for damn sure.

1871
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 12: Are here?

1872
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 2: How many days off are you trying to take? You're

1873
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:16,920
taking Paul Simon, You're taking Paul McCartney, probably Barry. I

1874
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:19,079
will work on Paul Simon. Oh you didn't take a

1875
01:34:19,159 --> 01:34:21,279
dog day off and Bob Barker died. I appreciate you that,

1876
01:34:21,359 --> 01:34:22,560
but I mean that's why I want to go. I

1877
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:24,520
want to get I wanted to fight through it. Yeah,

1878
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:26,399
so he had been hanging by a thread for years,

1879
01:34:26,399 --> 01:34:28,279
So it's not like that was a shock. Here are

1880
01:34:28,359 --> 01:34:32,119
the fatality days among CELEBRITI that's not how they know.

1881
01:34:32,319 --> 01:34:34,359
It's not how they You don't go into your work

1882
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:38,319
day and put in fatality days. They're called personal days.

1883
01:34:38,399 --> 01:34:40,399
Ross and I'm gonna get a few extra. Okay, let's

1884
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:46,000

1885
01:34:46,119 --> 01:34:54,760
no Billy Joel, no Ringo star, no dogs. Obviously, yes,

1886
01:34:55,800 --> 01:34:57,720
m hmm. You didn't even take a day off when

1887
01:34:57,760 --> 01:35:00,479
Roquel Welch died. I was shocked. But do much for

1888
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:06,680
me or she didn't to say? Okay, yeah, I think

1889
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:08,680
I'm pretty calm. I think I'm gonna I'm only gonna

1890
01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,159
take a celebrity day, A celebrity grievance day. That's what

1891
01:35:11,159 --> 01:35:17,239
it's called. It's called a CGD is a celebrity grievance day. Okay, well, okay,

1892
01:35:17,239 --> 01:35:19,159
if my list is one deep, what is your list.

1893
01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 3: I'm not taking a day off for anyone dying, not

1894
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,399
a single celebrity. You're not gonna do not a celebrity. Yeah,

1895
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:27,920
a family member, Yes, yeah.

1896
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 2: I'm saying this is we're talking about cgd's Celebrity Grievance Days.

1897
01:35:31,159 --> 01:35:36,520
Excuse me, you know c g d's Celebrity Grievance Days.

1898
01:35:37,079 --> 01:35:38,920
I think I've just created something. I think the HR

1899
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,399
world should jump on this right now. I mean, I'm

1900
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:44,840
down for more days off. When's that four day work

1901
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:47,359
week coming? That sounds good? God, it would be great,

1902
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:51,119
all right seven one three two one two five seven

1903
01:35:51,359 --> 01:35:53,119
nine zero if you want to jump in seven one

1904
01:35:53,159 --> 01:35:55,439
three two one two five seven nine. And as soon

1905
01:35:55,479 --> 01:35:57,800
as we hear something from Texanville, we will let you

1906
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:01,279
know about exactly where he could be. You know what,

1907
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:04,319
let me ask you this, could Demiko be very just

1908
01:36:04,399 --> 01:36:06,760
super noncommittal about we we'll see what happens. I mean,

1909
01:36:07,079 --> 01:36:09,079
why does he have to be about any greater details.

1910
01:36:09,159 --> 01:36:15,399
Imagine he is going to be yeah, it's gonna go

1911
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:17,920
step close to the vest, and you say yeah, but

1912
01:36:18,039 --> 01:36:19,960
probably my guess we'll hear at about ten o'clock on

1913
01:36:20,039 --> 01:36:22,720
Sunday morning when Schefter or something reports that are Jay Glazer.

1914
01:36:23,079 --> 01:36:25,399
Speaker 3: He yeah, but I think that's when we'll know. And

1915
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:28,000
I think they're gonna say. My gut feeling still that

1916
01:36:28,079 --> 01:36:30,439
he's not going to play. But I would imagine Dimiko

1917
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:33,399
is gonna basically what he says about every Injuraver. Well,

1918
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:35,000
we're vow you're even right now, and we'll see.

1919
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:38,399
Speaker 2: We got guys behind him, and you know we we

1920
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:42,920
love Xavier Hutchinson and Robert gray Good and John Metch.

1921
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:44,760
You'll be just great. And we got a great pass

1922
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,199
we got two great pass catching tight ends. Will be fine,

1923
01:36:50,319 --> 01:36:55,600
knowing full well that what's the line? You see the

1924
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:56,560
line still at three and a half?

1925
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:56,800
Speaker 4: Is that.

1926
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:02,319
Speaker 2: Now Nico was clear? Does that bumping up a half point?

1927
01:37:02,359 --> 01:37:05,600
Does the sharps get on this and say Nico makes

1928
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:13,600
it closer? I don't know, honestly, but I don't think.

1929
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:15,760
I don't think one receiver is going to change everything.

1930
01:37:16,319 --> 01:37:18,720
Most maybe a whole new offensive line could change things.

1931
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:23,159
Speaker 3: Most lopsided NFL bet is eighty eight percent of tickets.

1932
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:27,520
Speaker 2: On the Lions at three and a half. Like, if

1933
01:37:27,560 --> 01:37:29,840
I could bet the game Sunday when I get to Detroit,

1934
01:37:30,039 --> 01:37:35,359
I would bet the Lions, and probably a large amount, Okay,

1935
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:41,319
a hefty sum. Yeah, Well you'd be with the public

1936
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:44,000
eighty eight percent. But the fact that that line isn't

1937
01:37:44,039 --> 01:37:45,640
moving means that there's a lot of big money on

1938
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:47,479
the other side. You know what part of it is.

1939
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,239
Probably is because the Texans do play very well at home,

1940
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:54,520
they do have a quality win against an upper echelon

1941
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:55,439
team in their building.

1942
01:37:56,279 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 3: Recency bias is real. And then then the last performance

1943
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:00,039
the Texans were bad.

1944
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 2: And the fact that do you think there's a part

1945
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,159
of you that goes you know, the Lions just played

1946
01:38:06,159 --> 01:38:08,760
a game in Coal Green Bay, have to travel against

1947
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:12,640
second enxsecutive week. They're due for a dud. Hmm.

1948
01:38:13,239 --> 01:38:16,159
Speaker 3: Yes, that's why I have the Texans covering the three

1949
01:38:16,199 --> 01:38:17,840
and a half. I'm with the twelve percent.

1950
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,840
Speaker 2: Let's go. But you're not ready to predict them to

1951
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:23,039
beat the Texans the Lions. Why would I do that?

1952
01:38:24,119 --> 01:38:26,119
Because you just don't have that much faith because your

1953
01:38:26,159 --> 01:38:29,680
better red is now becoming more of a darker tinge

1954
01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:30,640
like the Atlanta Falcons.

1955
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:33,680
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna again, I will reiterate, I'm not gonna

1956
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:36,399
just blindly pick something because I'm a fan of a team.

1957
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:38,600
Speaker 2: I just don't do that. But that happens all the

1958
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:40,720
time in this market. This is I know, I'm sorry,

1959
01:38:40,840 --> 01:38:42,920
I'm different, you know what, to my own detriment. I'm

1960
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:44,319
not gonna come out here and spit a bunch of

1961
01:38:44,399 --> 01:38:46,520
spitfire hot takes. And I'm also not going to be

1962
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:52,680
a Homer. I'm sorry. Yeah, you're not gonna be able

1963
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:55,039
to go to that traveling Texans playoff game. Man.

1964
01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 9: I know.

1965
01:38:57,800 --> 01:39:00,279
Speaker 2: That's what we appreciate me. That's why again this show,

1966
01:39:00,399 --> 01:39:02,239
unlike other shows, we're not gonna give you the blind

1967
01:39:02,319 --> 01:39:05,079
Homer takes on this. We're gonna we're gonna we're gonna

1968
01:39:05,119 --> 01:39:07,279
dial it back, give you some realism, give you you know,

1969
01:39:07,399 --> 01:39:09,359
and as much as look, I want the Rockets to

1970
01:39:10,279 --> 01:39:12,560
win eighty one games a year and be the number

1971
01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:14,760
one seed and win the championship. I mean, you know, tonight,

1972
01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:19,439
Oklahoma City has got the finished second in the year

1973
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:21,399
and Rookie of the Year and Chet Holmgren last year.

1974
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:23,840
They've got all NBA player who finished second the MVP

1975
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:27,319
and shake Gilges Alexander. I mean this is We're going

1976
01:39:27,359 --> 01:39:29,560
in from the lightweight from the Spurs, the heavyweight of

1977
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:35,399
Oklahoma City. So it'll be nice calling upset. Wait, I'm

1978
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:36,439
just saying I'm all for it.

1979
01:39:37,039 --> 01:39:39,560
Speaker 3: I'm not picking an upset for any Houston team this weekend,

1980
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:40,199
I don't think.

1981
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:42,600
Speaker 2: Except the Rockets beating the Pistons on Sunday. Right, Oh,

1982
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:45,319
well that would be in an upset. That's true, that's true,

1983
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:47,840
all right. Seven one three two one two five seven

1984
01:39:47,920 --> 01:39:51,640
ninety seven to one three two one two five seven

1985
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:55,199
ninety Uh. We were waiting word from anything from Texanville

1986
01:39:55,199 --> 01:39:56,800
about exactly what's going on with Nicos, So as soon

1987
01:39:56,840 --> 01:39:59,239
as we get something on that, we'll do that. Also, Ross,

1988
01:40:00,079 --> 01:40:02,640
can we can the Astros really move Ryan Presley? We'll

1989
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:06,000
discuss that coming back next twelve twenty seven. Sports Talk

1990

seven ninety seven one three two one two five seven NINTI. Now, look,

1991
01:40:10,199 --> 01:40:13,239
a plethora of college football games are gonna be going

1992
01:40:13,319 --> 01:40:16,920
on this weekend, and you've got a plethora of NFL

1993
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:20,560
games obviously on Sunday and Monday night. How about doing

1994
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:25,840
something like going to underdog Fantasy and taking the numbers

1995
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:28,239
they give you and going, uh uh, it's gonna be

1996
01:40:28,319 --> 01:40:29,880
higher than that, or it's gonna be lower than that.

1997
01:40:30,319 --> 01:40:32,680
And when you do is you take several games, you

1998
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:34,319
pick one of the Neon games, one of the three

1999
01:40:34,319 --> 01:40:36,319
o'clock games, maybe you pick a college game, maybe a

2000
01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:39,000
couple it with an NBA game, and you're gonna be

2001
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:41,479

promo code sports mt anything goes Frodnie continues, it is

2030
01:42:07,199 --> 01:42:09,960
a Matt Thomas show with Ross. Twelve thirty three is

2031
01:42:10,159 --> 01:42:12,520
our time. It was something that was kind of under

2032
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:18,399
the radar at the general managers meetings in San Antonio

2033
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:21,880
that Chanla Rome kind of brought up Ross. We've have

2034
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:23,720
really never discussed so far on the show, is that

2035
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:25,800
there may be a kicking of the tires of seeing

2036
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,439
if Ryan Presley would like to go somewhere else. I

2037
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,119
want to say I brought that up not too long ago.

2038
01:42:31,359 --> 01:42:34,239
But the thing that helped me back is A the

2039
01:42:34,399 --> 01:42:38,520
money is pretty significant. B he's got a no trade

2040
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:42,880
and C. Do other teams right now think that Ryan

2041
01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:46,079
Presley could be a closer for their respective baseball team.

2042
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:53,760
Speaker 3: I would say no, but if you're looking for a

2043
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:56,239
seventh he can still be a high leverage guy. He's

2044
01:42:56,279 --> 01:42:58,239
not as bad as Houston thinks. I mean, at the

2045
01:42:58,319 --> 01:43:00,279
end of the day, his era was three point four

2046
01:43:00,319 --> 01:43:05,039
to nine. That's pretty good. Field indepennant pitching three point

2047
01:43:05,079 --> 01:43:08,399
one zero that's very good as well. He is thirty

2048
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:11,439
five years old, he is slowed down. Fourteen million dollars

2049
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:13,960
is a lot. But if you you would have to

2050
01:43:14,079 --> 01:43:16,239
a trade him to a contender, and so he would agree,

2051
01:43:16,279 --> 01:43:18,560
I believe, and b you would probably have to send

2052
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:21,319
some cash. But at the end of the day, as

2053
01:43:21,399 --> 01:43:23,720
we learned with the Mets and the Justin Verlander deal,

2054
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,239
it doesn't met. You can send thirteen million of the

2055
01:43:26,279 --> 01:43:28,640
fourteen million, it doesn't matter. It still comes off of

2056
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,800
your books. As it relates to the competitive balance tax,

2057
01:43:32,319 --> 01:43:34,840
and that's what the Astros are mostly concerned about with

2058
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:35,600
moving Ryan.

2059
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:38,079
Speaker 2: Presley, because they could move Ryan Presley and get rid

2060
01:43:38,079 --> 01:43:40,239
of a lot of his salary. It would be a

2061
01:43:40,399 --> 01:43:42,119
probably I'm not saying a win win, but it would

2062
01:43:42,119 --> 01:43:43,520
be if you're you don't want to have to be

2063
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:45,840
on the hook for seven or eight million dollars of

2064
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:48,119
that competitive salary on your books for Ryan Preszy to

2065
01:43:48,159 --> 01:43:50,039
go play somewhere else. But I don't think. Honestly, Ross,

2066
01:43:50,119 --> 01:43:51,760
I don't think it matters where he goes their contender

2067
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:54,960
or not. I mean, I've just learned if you've already

2068
01:43:55,039 --> 01:43:58,840
won something and you're looking to keep continue to make

2069
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,079
this crazy amount of money being a picture, could think

2070
01:44:01,079 --> 01:44:04,079
about it. When Ryan Presley's done, he goes from fifteen

2071
01:44:04,119 --> 01:44:06,840
million dollars a year to zero.

2072
01:44:08,399 --> 01:44:10,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's making the money no matter what. He

2073
01:44:10,279 --> 01:44:12,159
can make it in Houston. I don't he's not going

2074
01:44:12,199 --> 01:44:13,880
to agree to a deal to play with like I

2075
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:16,359
don't know, the Marlins or something like that.

2076
01:44:17,119 --> 01:44:19,319
Speaker 2: I think he gets. But if the Marlins say, hey,

2077
01:44:19,399 --> 01:44:21,039
we're gonna make you are closer, I bet he would.

2078
01:44:21,079 --> 01:44:21,800
I bet he would do it.

2079
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:25,600
Speaker 3: I can't answer that question, but I would think he's

2080
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:26,960
going to want to go somewhere where he can win

2081
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,479
another World Series because he's getting paid the same no

2082
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:31,640
matter what. He can stay here and be on a contender.

2083
01:44:32,079 --> 01:44:33,439
I mean, does he if you really want to do

2084
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:34,039
them a solid?

2085
01:44:34,079 --> 01:44:34,399
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2086
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:36,840
Speaker 3: Can what is Ryan Presley like to do? Can you

2087
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,880
buy him a tractor like roy Oswalt? You know, I

2088
01:44:40,920 --> 01:44:42,880
don't take this deal to the Marlins and take this

2089
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:44,439
deal to the Marlins and will get you a yacht

2090
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:45,479
so you can have in Miami.

2091
01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:50,520
Speaker 2: Can you be would you? How about this? Here comes

2092
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:55,239
an analogy. Oh oh, you can be the first officer

2093
01:44:56,359 --> 01:44:59,720
on a major airline, or you can be a captain

2094
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:04,439
on one of those cheap disc on airlines making the

2095
01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:04,920
same idea.

2096
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:06,680
Speaker 3: Just just go to the old, tried and true big

2097
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:07,640
fish in a little pond.

2098
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:14,560
Speaker 2: I like my example better. It's not it's not your worst.

2099
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:17,319
You're a first. You're a first. You're a first officer

2100
01:45:17,399 --> 01:45:20,600
on schmidd or Dark Breast, and then all of a

2101
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:22,600
sudden you get a phone call and say, hey, you

2102
01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:24,800
want to be a captain on Mirriant.

2103
01:45:25,319 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're not chasing championships either of those teams.

2104
01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:30,880
So I mean, it's it's about does he want more rings?

2105
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:32,319
Does he want to be on a contender? Does he

2106
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,479
maybe a playoff team? I would imagine he's gonna want

2107
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:37,079
to make the playoffs and be in the playoffs.

2108
01:45:37,359 --> 01:45:39,079
Speaker 2: I would think so. But I mean to remember, he's

2109
01:45:39,079 --> 01:45:40,560
got his money in regardless of where he goes, so

2110
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:41,880
it doesn't really matter where he goes.

2111
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:43,520
Speaker 3: So I will disagree with you and I will say

2112
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:45,960
if we hey, we got a trade for you to

2113
01:45:46,039 --> 01:45:47,880
go to the Marlins, you're gonna lose a hundred games,

2114
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:48,960
which you're going to be their closer.

2115
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 2: I don't think he would say yes. But I think

2116
01:45:51,039 --> 01:45:53,560
he's just really wigging out about not being a closer anymore.

2117
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:55,119
But here's the thing, somebody's got to have a dose

2118
01:45:55,159 --> 01:45:57,439
a reality to him. He doesn't have closer stuff anymore.

2119
01:45:57,760 --> 01:45:59,640
Speaker 3: He wasn't even a clo He wasn't even closure when

2120
01:45:59,680 --> 01:45:59,840
he came.

2121
01:46:00,359 --> 01:46:02,399
Speaker 2: Why is he all wrapped up in that? Man? I

2122
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:05,479
don't know, but obviously it bothered him last year. It

2123
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:07,880
had to be No, do you mean it made him

2124
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:09,920
bad on the mound? No, it just made him. No,

2125
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:12,279
he was just cranky, let's put it that way.

2126
01:46:12,359 --> 01:46:15,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, he wasn't happy about it because he's got an ego. Sorry, bruh, Josh,

2127
01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:17,880
hater's better than you. Let's move on, Like, what are

2128
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:20,359
we doing here? He's like going not much better? Yeah,

2129
01:46:20,399 --> 01:46:22,880
after he saw those results, Yeah, he's probably thinking that.

2130
01:46:23,479 --> 01:46:26,680
But I mean, even when he was traded over from Minnesota,

2131
01:46:27,159 --> 01:46:29,079
his first couple of years in Houston, he wasn't the

2132
01:46:29,119 --> 01:46:29,960
full time closer.

2133
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 2: No, he I mean, he made his he made the

2134
01:46:35,079 --> 01:46:38,840
money being one of the best setup guys in the sport.

2135
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:43,159
I mean, it's it's not foreign territory to him. I mean,

2136
01:46:43,239 --> 01:46:45,079
you didn't ask Billy Wager going to be a six

2137
01:46:45,159 --> 01:46:47,039
inning guy. Once he finished his career, he was, you know,

2138
01:46:47,159 --> 01:46:51,319
he he you know, he started out from scratch as

2139
01:46:51,359 --> 01:46:53,199
a guy that was a leverage guy than a high

2140
01:46:53,239 --> 01:46:55,000
leverage guy, and then all of a sudden, because of

2141
01:46:55,079 --> 01:46:57,560
injuries and whatnot and people moving on, he got to

2142
01:46:57,680 --> 01:46:59,880
embraced the closure's role and was very good at doing it.

2143
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:03,359
But the speed is the delivery is off. He's always

2144
01:47:03,399 --> 01:47:05,680
been able to He's pitched a contact a lot, a

2145
01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,640
lot of congestion on the bases and uh it, you know,

2146
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:10,920
unlike in previous years, he was not able to get

2147
01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:12,560
a lot of that congestion off the base pass or

2148
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:15,199
they were crossing home plate. Sadly, he had a better

2149
01:47:15,239 --> 01:47:18,439
era this year than he did the year before, but

2150
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:20,199
it still felt like to me it was a pretty

2151
01:47:20,239 --> 01:47:21,000
big drop off.

2152
01:47:21,359 --> 01:47:24,600
Speaker 3: I think I think people I think it got it.

2153
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:26,920
They got in their heads a little bit more about

2154
01:47:26,960 --> 01:47:28,920
Ryan Presley. He wasn't that bad.

2155
01:47:29,399 --> 01:47:33,439
Speaker 2: He really wasn't. Yeah, I get it. He I think

2156
01:47:33,479 --> 01:47:34,800
you know, again, you and I have been a big

2157
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:37,600
Presley guy, so it's hard for us to maybe take

2158
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:39,800
a step back on this. But I think the criticism

2159
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:42,159
was way too much. And how about this was the

2160
01:47:42,199 --> 01:47:47,039
criticism of Josh Hater too much? I would say so yes,

2161
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:49,520
because here's the thing. I think you were trying to

2162
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:52,479
compare it to what he did. He had a good

2163
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:57,159
season as a closer. He's had some knockdown to get

2164
01:47:57,199 --> 01:47:59,439
out of my way. You're never going to score a

2165
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,279
run against years, and I think that's what people were

2166
01:48:01,319 --> 01:48:03,560
expecting me, especially when you spend you know, ninety five

2167
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:05,680
million dollars on a guy for five years, money that

2168
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:09,960
typically uh Jim Crane hasn't spent on closes before.

2169
01:48:10,319 --> 01:48:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he still got thirty four out of thirty eight saves.

2170
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:16,439
That's pretty good. But yeah, era of almost four three

2171
01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:18,239
point eight zero for Josh Hater.

2172
01:48:19,520 --> 01:48:21,520
Speaker 2: If you want your you want your Eira's under three

2173
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:23,840
with your nice Well he was at one point two

2174
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:26,399
eight with San Diego and we're like, oh baby, he

2175
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:28,079
ain't given up a run and he.

2176
01:48:28,239 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 3: Was giving up a home run every other bitch.

2177
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still still not gonna let anybody tell me

2178
01:48:33,800 --> 01:48:35,880
that the deal was bad for Hater. But the decision

2179
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:39,600
made to put in Nerris in the seventh him and

2180
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:43,640
put Press on the eighth, and putting in Hater the

2181
01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:45,560
ninth was not Oh my god, you get to the

2182
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:48,119
seventh thing, and the was a brave You mean Bray,

2183
01:48:48,279 --> 01:48:50,199
Brian and Brady. That's right, Nears. Narris is gone. Well,

2184
01:48:50,199 --> 01:48:52,000
actually Naris, he was gone when he came back, but

2185
01:48:52,119 --> 01:48:55,039
now he can come back again. But then no seven

2186
01:48:55,119 --> 01:48:57,479
one three two one two five seven nine if you

2187
01:48:57,520 --> 01:48:59,439
want to jump in seven one three two one two

2188
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:02,760
five seven to nine at zero. As so, we have

2189
01:49:03,199 --> 01:49:05,359
a lot of things on the plate, including Texans and

2190
01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:10,520
Lions coming up on Sunday night. See what else got

2191
01:49:10,560 --> 01:49:14,840
going on? We got college football? Are the Aggies and

2192
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:16,159
the Longhorns both all this week?

2193
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,039
Speaker 3: No, the Longhorns play the Florida Gators.

2194
01:49:19,399 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 2: Oh so they're basically off? Then, no, Matt, there's no

2195
01:49:23,119 --> 01:49:26,399
off days in the SEC. What's the line? Twenty one

2196
01:49:26,399 --> 01:49:29,560
and a half. It's an off week. By the way,

2197
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:32,560
Billy Napier, the coach of the Greators, got a the

2198
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:35,000
dreaded vote of confidence and they're not making any moves

2199
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:35,760
before the end of the year.

2200
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,359
Speaker 3: The Yeah, it was the athletic director or who came out. Yep,

2201
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:41,760
yeah he said, he said, billion Napier is our guy.

2202
01:49:41,840 --> 01:49:46,439
Speaker 2: Good for him. He'll be our guy until the finals

2203
01:49:47,119 --> 01:49:49,560
the first Saturday in December, and then we'll get fired

2204
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:52,239
and move on. So you're predicting he will be done

2205
01:49:52,239 --> 01:49:56,840
at the end of the year, Yes, okay, we'll see.

2206
01:49:57,119 --> 01:49:59,439
Matter of fact, I'm gonna give you a one two punch.

2207
01:50:00,239 --> 01:50:02,159
Mike Norvel is out at Florida State at the end

2208
01:50:02,159 --> 01:50:03,920
of the year. I mean, how can they keep him?

2209
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:05,920
But I mean didn't they didn't they just re up him.

2210
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:09,760
Oh yeah his contract this offseason or no, his Yeah,

2211
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:12,279
his contract is a huge path. But you know what,

2212
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:15,000
I'm not ever gonna worry about what schools can't pay

2213
01:50:15,039 --> 01:50:17,720
anymore because we kept saying that with Jimbo at A

2214
01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:20,000
and M and A and M had zero had zero's

2215
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:23,359
beads of sweat paying off Jimbo's contract.

2216
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:30,159
Speaker 3: H I don't even know what to say. This is

2217
01:50:30,279 --> 01:50:33,840
just so crazy. We let these uh these boosters run

2218
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:34,560
the programs.

2219
01:50:38,319 --> 01:50:40,479
Speaker 2: Oh, when's that changed? Never?

2220
01:50:40,680 --> 01:50:44,119
Speaker 3: I'm just saying stupid just because you're the six billionaires

2221
01:50:44,159 --> 01:50:46,239
in a room together and they don't know. That doesn't

2222
01:50:46,239 --> 01:50:49,479
mean they know football. It's so stupid, it's ridiculous.

2223
01:50:51,039 --> 01:50:53,079
Speaker 2: But doesn't happen in all walks of life that the

2224
01:50:53,119 --> 01:50:56,399
money controls everything. I mean, if you give a lot

2225
01:50:56,399 --> 01:50:57,920
of money to a hospital, they're not going to be

2226
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:00,800
interested in trying to pick up certain things. Now you

2227
01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:03,479
give money to a university, No, only.

2228
01:51:03,399 --> 01:51:06,479
Speaker 3: I hope that billionaires who donate to hospitals are controlling

2229
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:07,760
of the medical procedures.

2230
01:51:08,079 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 2: No, I'm not a medical precision, but what is spent

2231
01:51:10,119 --> 01:51:12,640
on research, and what is spent on what wings and

2232
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:16,520
what you say anything? Any you donate money, you all

2233
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:19,239
of a sudden become the executive vice president of making

2234
01:51:19,279 --> 01:51:23,000
big decisions when it's not your decision. Well yeah, never mind,

2235
01:51:23,159 --> 01:51:27,319
all right. Were you gonna have another example of that

2236
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:30,000
or no? No, there's no examples that come to mind.

2237
01:51:30,359 --> 01:51:32,199
It would be like, you know, I don't know, giving

2238
01:51:32,199 --> 01:51:33,920
a lot of money to a political campaign and helping

2239
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:39,920
them run the office. Yeah you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah,

2240
01:51:40,039 --> 01:51:46,560
as an example, just great, just fantastic country we live in, Bely.

2241
01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:48,479
You're getting a lot of hate on Battle at Ross

2242
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:50,760
because Battle at Ross always thinks the Texans should win

2243
01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:53,800
a football game. What's going on with who says that?

2244
01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:55,279
I just want to listener.

2245
01:51:55,520 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 3: Okay, well you said a lot of hate. You always oversell.

2246
01:51:58,279 --> 01:52:02,399
Speaker 2: I'm trying to bellow to show rissterre overseller. I may

2247
01:52:02,479 --> 01:52:05,920
be I have this crazy thought, go ahead, that you

2248
01:52:06,039 --> 01:52:08,600
can be a fan of a team but also not

2249
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:10,720
be a stupid blind homer and think they're going to

2250
01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:13,720
win every single game and everything they do is fantastic. Well,

2251

01:53:43,159 --> 01:53:43,920
to me now.

2280
01:53:44,359 --> 01:53:45,319
Speaker 1: You made it.

2281
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:47,680
Speaker 3: What's not funny now more?

2282
01:53:47,800 --> 01:54:00,800
Speaker 2: Matt Thomas now twelve forty eight, Sports Talk seven ninety.

2283
01:54:01,640 --> 01:54:05,319
Congratulations Joe Mixon. He was named a new team captain

2284
01:54:05,399 --> 01:54:11,600
by the Texans, obviously taking the spot of Stefan Digs.

2285
01:54:13,279 --> 01:54:15,199
I wonder if that's really what you had to do,

2286
01:54:15,399 --> 01:54:17,920
Ross Or that was just kind of a symbolism of, Hey,

2287
01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:21,319
our offensive line sucks and we can't move the ball

2288
01:54:21,399 --> 01:54:23,600
without you, and here's a little token of our appreciation.

2289
01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:27,199
Why do you have to be such a cynic Matt

2290
01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:30,119
Why can't Why can't Why can't The people in that

2291
01:54:30,319 --> 01:54:32,600
locker room love Joe Mixon.

2292
01:54:32,680 --> 01:54:34,399
Speaker 3: They consider him a leader, and they voted.

2293
01:54:34,239 --> 01:54:36,479
Speaker 2: Him captain they should have done early in the year.

2294
01:54:36,560 --> 01:54:39,079
Speaker 3: Then well that's what they did it with Stefan Diggs,

2295
01:54:40,399 --> 01:54:42,760
And now they're like, holy smokes, Joe Mixon is great.

2296
01:54:42,760 --> 01:54:45,640
Now they're not going to vote Kenyan Green captain, oh,

2297
01:54:46,640 --> 01:54:47,840
because he's on IR.

2298
01:54:48,560 --> 01:54:50,560
Speaker 2: But otherwise he would be certainly a candidate for it.

2299
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:58,000
Probably not, I don't think so, think so. Oh my goodness.

2300
01:54:59,479 --> 01:55:04,960
Uh yeah, I'll say this. I thought it would be

2301
01:55:05,039 --> 01:55:07,079
good here. I didn't think he'd be great. He's great here.

2302
01:55:08,479 --> 01:55:10,000
Uh yeah. I think.

2303
01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 3: Generally the rule in the NFL, which has just been

2304
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:16,960
you know, I mean, completely debunked this year, is that

2305
01:55:17,079 --> 01:55:21,720
when a running back of a certain age changes teams,

2306
01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:24,119
that they're done. Like even like a Dalvin Cook when

2307
01:55:24,119 --> 01:55:25,760
he went off, the vikings were like, okay, he's gonna

2308
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:26,279
be with the Jets.

2309
01:55:26,319 --> 01:55:27,199
Speaker 2: He hadn't been doing anything.

2310
01:55:27,399 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 3: He's not doing anything with the Cowboys, but Dereck Henry's

2311
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:32,800
dominating with the Ravens. Saquon Barkley is still one of

2312
01:55:32,840 --> 01:55:35,000
the most freak athletes on the planet. And Joe Mixon

2313
01:55:35,119 --> 01:55:37,039
is doing great here. And I feel like I'm even

2314
01:55:37,720 --> 01:55:40,800
missing some more. But yeah, Joe Mixon has been dominating here.

2315
01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 2: And it was a guy that I don't know did

2316
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:47,560
since Anni. Did they really feel the pain when he left,

2317
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:49,399
or was like, you know what, we were gonna try

2318
01:55:49,439 --> 01:55:51,279
to get rid of him and not spend the money

2319
01:55:51,279 --> 01:55:53,279
because the running backs once to turn a certain age

2320
01:55:53,359 --> 01:55:58,000
or have certain number of experience, become you know, unable

2321
01:55:58,079 --> 01:56:01,199
to produce. I wonder what the if if the storyline

2322
01:56:01,239 --> 01:56:04,439
of him leaving the Bengals has changed since he's been

2323
01:56:04,520 --> 01:56:06,640
so good here, or they really regretted losing him to

2324
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:06,960
begin with.

2325
01:56:07,039 --> 01:56:08,840
Speaker 3: I mean, Chase Brown's been really good for them, and

2326
01:56:09,279 --> 01:56:11,479
they signed Zack Moss, who's now and I are, and

2327
01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:14,039
so they trade. They traded for Khalil Herbert from the

2328
01:56:15,359 --> 01:56:18,479
from the Bears, who I think he got like one snap,

2329
01:56:18,560 --> 01:56:20,319
fumbled the ball and then that was always sold from

2330
01:56:20,399 --> 01:56:24,119
him last night. But I don't think they're missing no.

2331
01:56:24,279 --> 01:56:26,399
I mean they scored. How many points did they score

2332
01:56:26,479 --> 01:56:28,840
last night against the Ravens? Thirty four should have been

2333
01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:30,840
thirty six if they would have gotten the right call call.

2334
01:56:31,079 --> 01:56:33,720
At the end of the day, there their record is

2335
01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:35,000
a way four and six. But I don't think it's

2336
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:36,319
not because Joe Mixon isn't there.

2337
01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:39,000
Speaker 2: I had a gut feeling of a couple of years

2338
01:56:39,119 --> 01:56:41,880
back that I'm not ready to give up on. Okay

2339
01:56:43,319 --> 01:56:47,000
t Higgins of the text, it could happen. They're gonna

2340
01:56:47,039 --> 01:56:53,159
need somebody. It's been hurt all year. And then he

2341
01:56:53,319 --> 01:56:55,880
is still a free agent, right they franchised him. They

2342
01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:57,640
franchised him. He still hates it. There.

2343
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:01,680
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, by the way, he should he should start

2344
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:03,079
holding out tonight.

2345
01:57:04,479 --> 01:57:04,960
Speaker 2: Is funny.

2346
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:06,720
Speaker 3: I should go back on holdout.

2347
01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:09,960
Speaker 2: Since ann has done a really poor job generally speaking

2348
01:57:10,079 --> 01:57:12,560
of keeping their star players, because the reputation of the

2349
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:15,880
organization is they're just a bunch of cheap skates. I mean,

2350
01:57:16,399 --> 01:57:18,159
you have to spend it. I mean the problem is

2351
01:57:18,439 --> 01:57:20,399
how much is Joe Burrow getting paid? Taken up?

2352
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:23,359
Speaker 3: I guess we let's go, let's go to the Bingles

2353
01:57:23,439 --> 01:57:26,479
payroll here on the Man Thomas Show, which this.

2354
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:28,399
Speaker 2: This is a terrible idea that I brought up. I

2355
01:57:28,479 --> 01:57:33,199
apologize Houston, Texas. I mean, I'm down. T Higgins is

2356
01:57:33,279 --> 01:57:37,920
their second highest paid player. He's he's a franchise. Yeah,

2357
01:57:38,319 --> 01:57:39,520
Trey Henderson has been good.

2358
01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:45,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, but they Jamar Chases is Yeah,

2359
01:57:45,279 --> 01:57:46,800
they need to They need to pay that dude.

2360
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:51,279
Speaker 2: He's insane. And Joe Burrow's really good too. I I

2361
01:57:51,439 --> 01:57:53,840
just don't know if long term, if they're you know, hell,

2362
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:55,479
I picked him win the AFC this year. I feel

2363
01:57:55,520 --> 01:57:59,680
so stupid. Six They're alive, and they're gonna need some work,

2364
01:57:59,680 --> 01:58:02,319
I mean some help. They've been playing better, I mean,

2365
01:58:03,119 --> 01:58:05,920
well they got crushed by the Eagles. They need the Chargers.

2366
01:58:06,039 --> 01:58:09,319
And if the Broncos to take a deep step back here,

2367
01:58:09,439 --> 01:58:11,359
if they just split one of those against the.

2368
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 3: Ravens, they got in two big time shootouts. If they

2369
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:17,439
just put one of those, they'd be five and five

2370
01:58:17,520 --> 01:58:18,680
and ready to make the playoffs.

2371
01:58:18,720 --> 01:58:20,600
Speaker 2: But the one that's kicking their asses losing the Week

2372
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:24,119
one game against the Patriots, oh well that really hurts. Yes,

2373
01:58:24,399 --> 01:58:28,159
great survivor pick. We should go back to Vegas because

2374
01:58:28,359 --> 01:58:30,359
you gave them a free thousand dollars, so good for you.

2375
01:58:30,479 --> 01:58:33,840
Speaker 3: On what hey they Circa offered. I think I get

2376
01:58:33,880 --> 01:58:35,640
a weekend free of rooms if you lost in the

2377
01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:37,199
first two weeks or three weeks or something like that.

2378
01:58:37,279 --> 01:58:40,760
Speaker 2: Are you serious? Absolutely? No, No, we going. I'm sorry.

2379
01:58:40,840 --> 01:58:42,359
Speaker 3: It's not a free weekend. I think it's like two

2380
01:58:42,479 --> 01:58:43,840
or three nights day, but it has to be in

2381
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:48,239
the weekdays. But still Circa's I mean Policia.

2382
01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:49,560
Speaker 2: Show from there, they got studios for us. We could

2383
01:58:49,560 --> 01:58:52,439
definitely do. I'm ready, although we want to do a

2384
01:58:52,439 --> 01:58:54,800
show at eight o'clock Pacific time after spending the night

2385
01:58:54,880 --> 01:58:57,119
going out and gambling and doing whatnot. I mean we could,

2386
01:58:57,159 --> 01:58:59,840
I guess we could drive, you know we could, oh

2387
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:02,520
eight o'clock. I was just to stay up, Yeah, just

2388
01:59:02,600 --> 01:59:03,439
to pull it all lighter.

2389
01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:03,720
Speaker 9: Yeah.

2390
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 3: Basically, you should get you a couple of bumps and

2391
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:06,560
then you'll be ready to go.

2392
01:59:06,680 --> 01:59:10,640
Speaker 2: Maddie, get a couple of what bumps? What are those?

2393
01:59:11,319 --> 01:59:11,439
Speaker 4: Oh?

2394
01:59:11,560 --> 01:59:14,560
Speaker 2: Coffee? SIPs of coffee? Is that? What is that? What

2395
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,560
the I always think the Las Vegas bumps a different

2396
01:59:17,600 --> 01:59:19,960
bump than you get in Houston. Yeah, it's out there.

2397
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:21,880
Speaker 3: It's different from those Summer Creek speed bumps.

2398
01:59:23,079 --> 01:59:25,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god. Great masterful job on the editing, by

2399
01:59:25,880 --> 01:59:27,319
the way of Connor. If you missed our ten o'clock

2400
01:59:27,319 --> 01:59:30,359
and twelve o'clock open, Connor did some fancy editing and

2401
01:59:30,399 --> 01:59:32,760
it absolutely works. I have the problem with us with

2402
01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:37,880
our audio being completely manipulated. I'm not on board with this.

2403
01:59:38,479 --> 01:59:38,960
It's ok.

2404
01:59:39,720 --> 01:59:41,279
Speaker 3: You could get us saying basically a do you think

2405
01:59:41,319 --> 01:59:42,119
you want at some point?

2406
01:59:42,279 --> 01:59:45,079
Speaker 2: That's well, it isn't AI doing that for us already? Yeah,

2407
01:59:45,159 --> 01:59:45,640
that's true.

2408
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:47,439
Speaker 3: People don't know. We've been doing this show on AI

2409
01:59:47,520 --> 01:59:48,439
for six weeks now.

2410
01:59:48,720 --> 01:59:51,680
Speaker 2: Have we really? All right? Uh, let me tell you

2411
01:59:51,720 --> 01:59:53,439
what we got coming up in the next hour. If

2412
01:59:53,479 --> 01:59:55,520
you missed our visit with Dan Miller, he's the voice

2413
01:59:55,520 --> 01:59:56,880
of the Lions. We're gonna play some of that coming

2414
01:59:56,960 --> 02:00:00,279
up at A one twenty today. A good conversation and

2415
02:00:00,279 --> 02:00:02,479
you're gonna hear Ross doing a commercial in the middle

2416
02:00:02,520 --> 02:00:05,399
of it. And that was purely by accident. Oh yeah,

2417
02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:05,720
I did.

2418
02:00:06,319 --> 02:00:08,880
Speaker 3: My finger must have slipped or something. I'm so sorry.

2419
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:11,039
Can we clip that out now?

2420
02:00:11,039 --> 02:00:12,479
Speaker 2: I think we should do it and then just say,

2421
02:00:12,520 --> 02:00:15,920
this is where the point we're ros screwed up? I do.

2422
02:00:16,399 --> 02:00:18,359
I don't know what I did. I'm sorry. We're gonna

2423
02:00:18,359 --> 02:00:18,720
try it out.

2424
02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:20,800
Speaker 3: He literally was about to call Connor a liar, but

2425
02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:22,560
he was like, no, you're you're Mike.

2426
02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:24,680
Speaker 2: Was no, Well, we will let it that part out. Oh,

2427
02:00:24,720 --> 02:00:26,640
we have non Florida stories today at one thirty. Where's

2428
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:28,199
your non Florida story from? By the way, did be

2429
02:00:28,239 --> 02:00:30,520
outside of this state of Florida? Man? Okay, right, good?

2430
02:00:30,600 --> 02:00:32,880
Speaker 3: When's that coming up? What's believing on? Oh my goodness,

2431
02:00:33,479 --> 02:00:34,479
what have you been doing?

2432
02:00:35,960 --> 02:00:48,920
Speaker 2: Spots? So basically you've you've been making all this revenue. Uh,

2433
02:00:49,319 --> 02:00:52,119
never never let your focus ever change.

2434
02:00:53,119 --> 02:00:55,359
Speaker 3: It's I told you. I told you this is worse

2435
02:00:55,399 --> 02:00:56,199
when you're on the road.

2436
02:00:57,399 --> 02:00:59,000
Speaker 2: There shouldn't be. I'm right here with you. I've been

2437
02:00:59,000 --> 02:01:01,720
here the whole. No, you're not here. We want you

2438
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:02,720
to come with me on the road for a couple

2439
02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:06,920
of road trips on the city Detroit.

2440
02:01:06,920 --> 02:01:10,439
Speaker 3: When happen, I'm gonna sweat, yeah, I mean pass on

2441
02:01:10,520 --> 02:01:12,600
that roady okay, see Detroit.

2442
02:01:12,760 --> 02:01:15,520
Speaker 2: Yikes. By the way, my non forest story is coming

2443
02:01:15,520 --> 02:01:18,119
from Wisconsin today, so you'll have it for you at

2444
02:01:18,760 --> 02:01:22,239
at one thirty this afternoon. It is weird looking, and

2445
02:01:22,279 --> 02:01:24,079
we got a couple people on Twitter and acknowledge it.

2446
02:01:24,159 --> 02:01:26,159
It's different for us too. This is not our normal.

2447
02:01:27,399 --> 02:01:29,680
We've had a few time slots. This is the weirdest

2448
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:33,680
of the group. Right ten to two. I've done morning drive,

2449
02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:36,720
We've done like late afternoon. We started eleven done at noon.

2450
02:01:36,840 --> 02:01:39,159
So we're we're working our way through. We're gonna be

2451
02:01:39,279 --> 02:01:41,479
significantly better next week than we were this week. We're

2452
02:01:41,479 --> 02:01:43,039
just kind of caught off guard by this week. So

2453
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:46,319
I'll be I promise I won't let you down. Ross.

2454
02:01:46,439 --> 02:01:47,880
I feel like it's gonna be probably give me the

2455
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:48,359
same machake.

2456
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:50,800
Speaker 3: Can you come over and make me breakfast in the morning,

2457
02:01:51,159 --> 02:01:51,880
get me ready to go?

2458
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:54,800
Speaker 2: So we're quick. We got thirty seconds here, So to

2459
02:01:54,840 --> 02:01:57,520
explain to the audience, you are definitely not a morning person.

2460
02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:01,239
Speaker 3: I'm a night out from a like a night owl

2461
02:02:01,399 --> 02:02:04,760
family tree, like my both of my parents, my sister brother.

2462
02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:05,239
Speaker 5: We are all.

2463
02:02:06,199 --> 02:02:10,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. It's just I need

2464
02:02:10,479 --> 02:02:13,359
a lot of sleep and I'm a night owl. So

2465
02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:15,920
essentially what you do is you go to bed at

2466
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:17,720
say two o'clock in the morning. Well, you can't do

2467
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:18,239
that anymore.

2468
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:21,039
Speaker 3: I always say, in a perfect world, I need thirty

2469
02:02:21,079 --> 02:02:23,520
hour days because my brain likes to stay up for

2470
02:02:23,600 --> 02:02:25,680
twenty hours and then I need like ten hours of sleep,

2471
02:02:25,840 --> 02:02:27,920
So I need thirty hour days. The sun could slow down,

2472
02:02:27,960 --> 02:02:30,399
they'd be great. I mean, the the the Earth's spinning

2473
02:02:30,920 --> 02:02:32,119
could slow down, they'd be great.

2474
02:02:32,600 --> 02:02:35,359
Speaker 2: Okay, So now you're getting up and having a full breakfast. No,

2475
02:02:35,560 --> 02:02:37,880
I haven't done that yet. And you've only how many

2476
02:02:37,920 --> 02:02:40,159
cups of coffee behead so far today? Today?

2477
02:02:40,159 --> 02:02:44,159
Speaker 3: I've only had uh, A couple of cups of tea

2478
02:02:44,439 --> 02:02:46,640
and some and a monster.

2479
02:02:46,840 --> 02:02:51,520
Speaker 2: Okay, you're all jacked up. I love it. It's not great.

2480
02:02:53,399 --> 02:02:55,920
Why is it? Jones is up being snarky today? What

2481
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:58,840
have I said? Snark snarky every day? Maddie. I was

2482
02:02:58,880 --> 02:03:00,960
gonna say, what's the different? I don't think I've ever

2483
02:03:01,039 --> 02:03:05,000
been any different? On this all right, final hour of

02:04:17,479 --> 02:04:20,760
the Matt Thomas Show. It is our final hour of

2508
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:23,880
the week on Sports Talk seven ninety with Ross. I'm Matt.

2509
02:04:24,079 --> 02:04:27,439
I'm here in Oklahoma City Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

2510
02:04:27,560 --> 02:04:30,520
Tonight we'll have the pregame show beginning at six thirty,

2511
02:04:30,600 --> 02:04:32,600
launch pad at six, and we'll tip it off shortly

2512
02:04:32,640 --> 02:04:35,880
past seven o'clock here from Oklahoma City. Sunday, it'll be

2513
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:38,600
the Rockets in Detroit to take on the Pistons. Meanwhile,

2514
02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:41,000
the Lines will be down in Houston to take on

2515
02:04:41,159 --> 02:04:44,039
the Texans for a seven to twenty kickoff. Nicocollins at

2516
02:04:44,119 --> 02:04:48,159
practice today. He has been cleared, was off of the

2517
02:04:48,520 --> 02:04:52,319
injury reserve list and designated to practice. Doesn't necessarily mean

2518
02:04:52,319 --> 02:04:54,800
he's going to play on Sunday, But if you're just

2519
02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:57,479
a social media consumer, there's a lot of excitement coming

2520
02:04:57,520 --> 02:05:00,760
off of the Texans Twitter count that shows Nico dancing around,

2521
02:05:00,880 --> 02:05:05,600
feeling good, ready to go. Who the hell knows, And again,

2522
02:05:05,720 --> 02:05:09,159
maybe they'll keep this super super tight until they have to,

2523
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:12,039
and maybe we'll wait till Saturday. But at least he's

2524
02:05:12,079 --> 02:05:15,039
off the injured list, at least the hamstring looks like

2525
02:05:15,279 --> 02:05:17,039
And again we're going off of just a couple of

2526
02:05:17,079 --> 02:05:19,920
photos in which the Texan and the media department sends

2527
02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:24,319
out to the internet. He's ready to play and that's

2528
02:05:24,359 --> 02:05:26,359
going to be a good thing, especially with Stefan Diggs

2529
02:05:26,399 --> 02:05:29,680
being gone. Can the Texans move the ball with Nico

2530
02:05:29,800 --> 02:05:32,239
Collins and would Tank de Will be in the one

2531
02:05:32,239 --> 02:05:36,560
to two combination? Absolutely? Will they have issues Sunday doing it?

2532
02:05:37,119 --> 02:05:39,239
If if Tank Dell's the main go to guy. Now,

2533
02:05:39,319 --> 02:05:41,439
Tank was the main go to guy last week against

2534
02:05:41,439 --> 02:05:46,319
the Jets and it worked out well. Question is ROSSI

2535
02:05:46,479 --> 02:05:48,920
is anybody else going to mean it? Says Hutchison, take

2536
02:05:48,960 --> 02:05:52,680
the opportunity here? Does Dalton Schultz kind of step up?

2537
02:05:52,720 --> 02:05:55,840
He's had a disappointing season. I'm surprised that tight end

2538
02:05:56,199 --> 02:05:58,800
spot overall has not been more productive offensive than it's

2539
02:05:58,800 --> 02:06:02,000
been so far this year. We would have liked to

2540
02:06:02,039 --> 02:06:03,840
seen more from Dalton Schultz, for sure.

2541
02:06:04,199 --> 02:06:07,439
Speaker 3: I think he has the targets in the yards and

2542
02:06:07,439 --> 02:06:09,000
all that have ticked up, but he still doesn't have

2543
02:06:09,039 --> 02:06:12,560
a touchdown. Although Adulton Schultz fan number one, I believe

2544
02:06:12,560 --> 02:06:14,039
had a gut feeling that he's gonna get his first

2545
02:06:14,039 --> 02:06:18,479
touchdown this weekend. That would be nice. I think, obviously

2546
02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:20,520
it would be huge having Nico Collins back. I don't

2547
02:06:20,520 --> 02:06:23,279
think it's gonna happen. John Matchie has been getting a

2548
02:06:23,359 --> 02:06:25,439
little bit open and then he was missed a couple

2549
02:06:25,520 --> 02:06:27,600
of times. But you know, it's not like he's Stefan

2550
02:06:27,640 --> 02:06:29,720
Diggs and he's not going to be It's gonna take

2551
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:33,119
it takes a village, Matt. It's like you know in Moneyball,

2552
02:06:33,159 --> 02:06:35,960
when they're like, oh, we're losing. Who is the player

2553
02:06:36,039 --> 02:06:37,359
that they were losing? I can't even remember.

2554
02:06:37,359 --> 02:06:37,720
Speaker 4: It was a.

2555
02:06:40,600 --> 02:06:42,319
Speaker 3: What was that guy with the brother or brother and

2556
02:06:42,399 --> 02:06:44,439
he went to the Yankees and he got busted for steroids.

2557
02:06:44,520 --> 02:06:46,039
Speaker 2: Oh, Johnby, Johnby.

2558
02:06:46,159 --> 02:06:46,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

2559
02:06:46,560 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, we're not gonna be able to We're

2560
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:51,600
not gonna be able to make up Stefan Diggs production

2561
02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:53,119
in one player. What you have to do is a

2562
02:06:53,159 --> 02:06:55,119
little bit of Xavier Hutchson. It's a little bit, a

2563
02:06:55,159 --> 02:06:57,720
little bit of Dalton Schultz, a little bit of John Matchi.

2564
02:06:57,840 --> 02:07:01,720
So you have to do it as it concline as

2565
02:07:02,479 --> 02:07:04,560
this different spots are going to be open on the field,

2566
02:07:04,680 --> 02:07:07,039
be aware of those spots, and then of course more

2567
02:07:07,079 --> 02:07:08,920
Tank Dell as well, which is so far what you've

2568
02:07:08,920 --> 02:07:09,319
been getting.

2569
02:07:09,680 --> 02:07:12,000
Speaker 2: You know, what's interesting to me, Ross is that last

2570
02:07:12,119 --> 02:07:14,760
year At the start of the twenty twenty three season,

2571
02:07:15,960 --> 02:07:18,640
it was wildy regarded that the Houston Texans had the

2572
02:07:18,720 --> 02:07:22,279
worst running wide receiver corps in the league, right twenty

2573
02:07:22,359 --> 02:07:27,760
nine to thirty. Yes, then Nico Collins takes this super jump.

2574
02:07:29,039 --> 02:07:31,600
Then Tank Dell becomes this third round surprise and is

2575
02:07:31,720 --> 02:07:35,560
really good until he gets hurt. Then you add those

2576
02:07:35,640 --> 02:07:39,279
two guys to adding Stefan Diggs through the tray with Buffalo,

2577
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,920
and I would say the consensus was that Texans would have, say,

2578
02:07:42,920 --> 02:07:45,800
at least at the bare minimum, a top ten receiving group.

2579
02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:50,000
Mm hmm. You fast forward to Nico being gone for

2580
02:07:50,079 --> 02:07:54,840
a while, you fast forward to Stefan Diggs missing now

2581
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:57,840
the rest of the season, and it feels more like

2582
02:07:58,520 --> 02:08:01,359
who's going to step up as compared to it's an

2583
02:08:01,439 --> 02:08:03,800
environment of riches right now for the Texans receivers.

2584
02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been it's been a precipitous fall. And you

2585
02:08:07,840 --> 02:08:09,560
brought it up, so I kind of I just googled

2586
02:08:09,640 --> 02:08:12,560
and Pro Football Focus and June did do a receiving

2587
02:08:12,640 --> 02:08:22,720
core ranking list. They had the Texans fifth. Wow, Niners, Dolphins, Eagles, Bears, Texans,

2588
02:08:22,760 --> 02:08:24,800
I mean they like that sounds about right.

2589
02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:25,039
Speaker 5: To me.

2590
02:08:25,680 --> 02:08:31,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's interesting because we're sitting here getting ready

2591
02:08:31,199 --> 02:08:33,960
for this game on Sunday and we're trying to figure out, well,

2592
02:08:34,319 --> 02:08:37,600
can they'll do it by himself? And he almost did

2593
02:08:37,640 --> 02:08:40,640
it by himself last week. Yeah, he was great.

2594
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:42,840
Speaker 3: He got the fifty yard catch, he was downfield. I mean,

2595
02:08:42,880 --> 02:08:44,119
he got a lot of what did he get was

2596
02:08:44,159 --> 02:08:45,920
it six catches or whatever? For over one hundred and

2597
02:08:45,960 --> 02:08:48,000
twenty yards. Yeah, he's been getting a lot of targets.

2598
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:49,920
He's going to get a lot of targets. He is

2599
02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:54,479
their biggest difference maker. So however Adam and Adam want

2600
02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:56,439
to argue about it, he's their wr one.

2601
02:08:57,159 --> 02:08:59,119
Speaker 2: Uh oh are they doing that this week again? I

2602
02:08:59,239 --> 02:09:02,000
don't know. By the way, I need a ruling on

2603
02:09:02,279 --> 02:09:06,079
wide receivers in general. Okay, this is not just the Texans,

2604
02:09:06,119 --> 02:09:10,720
it's everybody in the NFL. Every time I shouldn't say

2605
02:09:10,720 --> 02:09:14,920
every time, many times a wide receiver in the NFL

2606
02:09:15,119 --> 02:09:18,880
catches a ball gets the first down. As soon as

2607
02:09:18,920 --> 02:09:21,560
he gets up, he points to other direction to indicate

2608
02:09:21,640 --> 02:09:25,600
first down. Everybody in their mother is doing it right now.

2609
02:09:25,760 --> 02:09:29,000
Speaker 3: The Texans do the they kind of spin, they do

2610
02:09:29,199 --> 02:09:32,239
a whirling thing and then they go first down. They

2611
02:09:32,279 --> 02:09:35,319
do a couple of around the worlds with their fingers pointed,

2612
02:09:35,399 --> 02:09:37,000
and then they do a first down. That's their thing

2613
02:09:37,039 --> 02:09:41,000
they've been doing, so it's.

2614
02:09:40,880 --> 02:09:44,520
Speaker 2: Not for me to decide how you motivate yourself and

2615
02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:47,000
how to motivate the fans and motivate your teammates. That's

2616
02:09:47,039 --> 02:09:49,439
what everybody does. I mean, everybody has to motivate themselves

2617
02:09:49,479 --> 02:09:53,319
in different ways. But I'm noticing a trend of every

2618
02:09:53,479 --> 02:09:57,760
time a receiver gets a first down, it's not hand

2619
02:09:57,840 --> 02:10:00,600
the ball back to the official. It's not high five

2620
02:10:00,640 --> 02:10:02,920
minute teammate, it's not running back to the huddle to

2621
02:10:02,960 --> 02:10:05,279
get back going. It's I gotta show you I got

2622
02:10:05,359 --> 02:10:10,359
that first down. I don't know if it's a bad

2623
02:10:10,479 --> 02:10:12,199
thing or a good thing. It just feels like it's

2624
02:10:12,239 --> 02:10:13,640
been more excessive than anything else.

2625
02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 3: I don't like it when they do that. When when

2626
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:18,479
players do that and they're down like twenty one, it's like, yes.

2627
02:10:18,439 --> 02:10:19,720
Speaker 2: You have to kind of all the time and space.

2628
02:10:19,800 --> 02:10:23,000
I congratulations, Like it was like a third and twelve

2629
02:10:23,479 --> 02:10:26,039
and it's a big time catch. I'm all for it.

2630
02:10:26,119 --> 02:10:29,159
Speaker 3: I like it a lot better then. Feels like time

2631
02:10:29,239 --> 02:10:31,439
in a place you're down twenty one and there's six

2632
02:10:31,520 --> 02:10:33,800
minutes left in the game, Like, get back in the huddle.

2633
02:10:34,359 --> 02:10:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. It almost feels like to me, if you just

2634
02:10:36,039 --> 02:10:38,359
did it once or twice, it wouldn't be that big

2635
02:10:38,439 --> 02:10:42,840
of a deal. Same thing with these interception celebrations where

2636
02:10:42,840 --> 02:10:46,560
they go and they pretend they're bowling pins. If you're

2637
02:10:46,600 --> 02:10:48,119
down twenty one to six.

2638
02:10:48,880 --> 02:10:50,920
Speaker 3: Hey you gotta have fun, matty. Oh yeah, if you're

2639
02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:54,000
down twenty one to see or yeah, the other team

2640
02:10:54,039 --> 02:10:57,199
has put like thirty five on you and the like

2641
02:10:57,319 --> 02:10:59,920
the running you didn't even cut force the fumble. There

2642
02:11:00,119 --> 02:11:02,359
was an exchange between the quarterback and the running back

2643
02:11:02,399 --> 02:11:04,319
and they dropped it, and you're acting like you just

2644
02:11:04,439 --> 02:11:06,279
forced this great turnover, Like come.

2645
02:11:06,199 --> 02:11:09,840
Speaker 2: On, yeah, and I love you know our buddy Whitney merciless,

2646
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:11,960
he would do the air guitar stuff and the team

2647
02:11:12,079 --> 02:11:15,840
was downing three touchdowns or this is a good one.

2648
02:11:16,039 --> 02:11:19,279
Kamari Lassiter has been doing this, like he gets blown

2649
02:11:19,399 --> 02:11:22,199
by on coverage and then the quarterback underthrows it and

2650
02:11:22,239 --> 02:11:23,039
this is every dB.

2651
02:11:23,119 --> 02:11:25,960
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to call it. Kamara last year, he gets.

2652
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:28,319
Speaker 2: Like they get blown by on coverage, a double move

2653
02:11:28,439 --> 02:11:31,279
they're like ten yards behind, but the quarterback underthrows it

2654
02:11:31,359 --> 02:11:33,039
and all of a sudden it falls to the ground

2655
02:11:33,079 --> 02:11:36,359
and they're like, yeah, incomplete. They do a little incomplete

2656
02:11:36,399 --> 02:11:39,399
symbol or or like fold their arms and kind of

2657
02:11:39,720 --> 02:11:42,479
roll their shoulders like they get their fingers out and

2658
02:11:43,359 --> 02:11:46,159
on me. Yeah, it's like, my guy, you were you

2659
02:11:46,279 --> 02:11:49,399
were burnt toast on that play. Come on, we're watching

2660
02:11:49,479 --> 02:11:52,479
the same game you're playing, and we know exactly what happened.

2661
02:11:52,560 --> 02:11:53,520
I have eyeballs.

2662
02:11:53,640 --> 02:11:55,920
Speaker 3: I saw him ten yards in front of you and

2663
02:11:56,000 --> 02:11:57,439
then the quarterback underthrew it.

2664
02:11:58,000 --> 02:12:00,800
Speaker 2: That's right. What I will say is I do like

2665
02:12:01,159 --> 02:12:05,000
you know, for the longest time the NFL was hammering

2666
02:12:05,239 --> 02:12:08,399
players for celebrating. At least they'll letting these guys have

2667
02:12:08,560 --> 02:12:12,319
some fun now. So I'd rather there'd be too much

2668
02:12:12,720 --> 02:12:14,840
than none at all. I'd rather I'm glad that you

2669
02:12:14,920 --> 02:12:18,119
can do the dance moves in the end zone, or

2670
02:12:18,119 --> 02:12:20,640
you can pretend you guys are bowling pins. That gives

2671
02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:23,119
me a little bit of it shows the game is

2672
02:12:23,159 --> 02:12:25,600
still fun. Where if you did that ten years ago, Rosh,

2673
02:12:25,680 --> 02:12:28,560
you were flagged immediately. The NFL has really backed off

2674
02:12:28,600 --> 02:12:30,079
on it. The only time they ever throw a flag

2675
02:12:30,479 --> 02:12:32,920
is if you do it in front of an opponent's

2676
02:12:32,960 --> 02:12:34,760
face or right in front of their sideline er, you know,

2677
02:12:34,960 --> 02:12:38,359
something to be antagonistic. There's a difference between going to

2678
02:12:38,399 --> 02:12:41,640
the end zone and goofing around and taking photos fake photos,

2679
02:12:42,079 --> 02:12:44,359
as compared to you know, going to the fifty yard

2680
02:12:44,439 --> 02:12:46,479
line and stopping on it and having George t come

2681
02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:47,720
over there and try to kick your ass.

2682
02:12:48,640 --> 02:12:52,119
Speaker 3: They've done some weak ones, though, I think like when

2683
02:12:52,199 --> 02:12:54,920
when Stefan Diggs scored a touchdown against the Patriots and

2684
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:57,279
he kind of spun the ball at kind of near

2685
02:12:57,399 --> 02:13:00,279
Christian Gonzalez his feet, it was like in his general direction,

2686
02:13:00,399 --> 02:13:01,600
and he got a taunting penalty.

2687
02:13:01,640 --> 02:13:04,159
Speaker 2: I thought that was weak. Yeah, but I would say

2688
02:13:04,279 --> 02:13:06,640
generally speaking, it's been a lot they've They've given you

2689
02:13:06,680 --> 02:13:09,119
a lot more liberties because there was a time where

2690
02:13:09,159 --> 02:13:12,199
you couldn't do anything or you were getting flagged right,

2691
02:13:12,640 --> 02:13:14,840
And honestly, these officials have so much to worry about.

2692
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:17,880
Just get the calls right, like calling face mask in overtime.

2693
02:13:18,520 --> 02:13:22,640
I'm all for eliminating the taunting penalty in general. Well,

2694
02:13:22,840 --> 02:13:24,560
I wouldn't say that. I think if you do it

2695
02:13:24,680 --> 02:13:26,800
too much and you try to do it to show

2696
02:13:26,840 --> 02:13:28,960
somebody up, then that's going to cause fights, and that's

2697
02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:30,439
the last thing. The NFL well, then throw them out

2698
02:13:30,439 --> 02:13:35,800
for fighting. So you're saying, if you taunt and a

2699
02:13:35,880 --> 02:13:39,119
fight starts, just just skip skip the preamble, go right

2700
02:13:39,159 --> 02:13:44,000
to the main thing. Yeah, what do you mean, Like

2701
02:13:44,159 --> 02:13:47,319
like you're saying, because the the taunt the flag is

2702
02:13:47,359 --> 02:13:51,119
to is to prevent the fights. The NFL throws the

2703
02:13:51,159 --> 02:13:53,279
toss it to prevent fights. I think they prevent it.

2704
02:13:53,319 --> 02:13:55,720
Speaker 3: But just because they're like, oh they're they're they're not

2705
02:13:55,880 --> 02:14:00,359
conducting themselves a sportsman. I think it's these old fogy

2706
02:14:00,439 --> 02:14:03,680
owners who are really pushing the taunting thing the last

2707
02:14:03,720 --> 02:14:04,279
couple of years.

2708
02:14:04,359 --> 02:14:05,880
Speaker 2: That was a story that came out. I can't remember

2709
02:14:05,920 --> 02:14:09,000
who wrote it, an old FOGY owner. I imagine that.

2710
02:14:10,119 --> 02:14:10,600
Speaker 12: It's funny.

2711
02:14:10,600 --> 02:14:12,439
Speaker 2: You don't in twenty twenty four, you don't say that

2712
02:14:12,520 --> 02:14:19,319
young bright, energetic, young guy running things not usually like

2713
02:14:19,800 --> 02:14:22,560
they're all like seventy five years old was smoking jackets.

2714
02:14:22,359 --> 02:14:24,399
Speaker 3: On unless his dad croaked and he inherited the team,

2715
02:14:24,479 --> 02:14:25,920
that's pretty much, yeah, not gonna happen.

2716
02:14:28,760 --> 02:14:30,479
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're thinking about there.

2717
02:14:32,079 --> 02:14:34,960
Speaker 3: Well, those guys are the youngest NFL owner, I don't

2718
02:14:35,000 --> 02:14:35,319
even know.

2719
02:14:35,800 --> 02:14:37,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, well cow's in his sixties. I mean,

2720
02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:45,199
youngest NFL owner. What about I would say, I think

2721
02:14:45,279 --> 02:14:48,039
the owner of the of the Broncos got to be

2722
02:14:48,119 --> 02:14:53,479
in his fifties. Who's the new owner of the Commanders?

2723
02:14:53,520 --> 02:14:54,640
Is that guy? Is that guy young?

2724
02:14:54,880 --> 02:14:55,000
Speaker 4: Oh?

2725
02:14:55,079 --> 02:14:55,720
Speaker 2: I think he is.

2726
02:14:57,239 --> 02:14:58,880
Speaker 3: John Harris. He's fifty nine.

2727
02:14:59,479 --> 02:15:01,239
Speaker 2: That's what a young relatively speaking?

2728
02:15:01,359 --> 02:15:04,199
Speaker 3: That Arkhan is the youngest. He but he inherited the team.

2729
02:15:07,279 --> 02:15:09,600
Speaker 2: Hell Mark Davis we said was in his mid sixties yesterday.

2730
02:15:09,600 --> 02:15:12,159
I remember we're talking about him. Michael Bidwell of the Cardinals.

2731
02:15:12,960 --> 02:15:15,640
That's hint taken him dad. That was an inheritance, right, Yeah.

2732
02:15:15,920 --> 02:15:21,680
Brian Glazer of the Buccaneers inherited from Malcolm his dad.

2733
02:15:23,880 --> 02:15:27,920
Speaker 3: And then the next youngest, fifth youngest is Steve Bescatti Baltimore,

2734
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:29,439
Ravens and Hollow.

2735
02:15:29,520 --> 02:15:33,039
Speaker 2: Is he sixty four? Yeah? So basically the rule is

2736
02:15:33,079 --> 02:15:34,600
you got to you know, first of all, how many

2737
02:15:34,640 --> 02:15:39,439
billionaires are thirty three? Unless again, you inherited it from

2738
02:15:39,479 --> 02:15:42,039
your father. That's right, That's right, all right, let's check

2739
02:15:42,039 --> 02:15:44,159
it in Detroit next. We'll do that one fourteen is

2740
02:15:44,199 --> 02:15:46,079
our time. It is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

2741
02:15:46,079 --> 02:15:48,479
We've got the non Florida stories coming up in about

2742
02:15:48,520 --> 02:15:51,680
fifteen minutes and hell yeah or not in about thirty

2743
02:15:51,760 --> 02:15:54,920
five here on Sports Talk seven ninety. If you are

2744
02:15:55,039 --> 02:15:59,039
worried about the temperature changing, the wins, the problems we

2745
02:15:59,119 --> 02:16:01,600

six nine nine two six sixty three. Wind and rain

2749
02:16:12,239 --> 02:16:15,039

Speaker 1: Matt Thomas returns on Sports Talk seven ninety.

2767
02:17:09,799 --> 02:17:11,799
Speaker 2: Had a chance earlier today to catch up with the

2768
02:17:11,879 --> 02:17:14,200
voice of the Detroit Lions, Dan Miller. He works for

2769
02:17:14,280 --> 02:17:18,360
the Fox News affiliate in Detroit, but also calls their games,

2770
02:17:18,399 --> 02:17:21,040
and we've talked about a variety of things that will

2771
02:17:21,079 --> 02:17:23,680
be I think good for you guys, including talking about

2772
02:17:23,799 --> 02:17:27,200
how excited Detroit is for this team, probably the closest

2773
02:17:27,239 --> 02:17:30,360
they've ever been to being a Super Bowl contender. We

2774
02:17:30,479 --> 02:17:35,280
also discussed Dan Campbell and that Lions secondary, especially if

2775
02:17:35,360 --> 02:17:37,159
Nico Collins. We don't know if he's gonna play, but

2776
02:17:37,239 --> 02:17:39,600
if he does, how they prepare for it. Here again

2777
02:17:39,760 --> 02:17:42,719
is my visit with the voice Dan Miller of the

2778
02:17:42,799 --> 02:17:45,440
Detroit Lions about what it's like to be calling games

2779
02:17:45,520 --> 02:17:47,280
for a team that might be headed to their first

2780
02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:49,680
ever Vince Lombardi game.

2781
02:17:50,840 --> 02:17:53,000
Speaker 5: Really at the end of twenty twenty two, when they

2782
02:17:53,040 --> 02:17:54,959
went the eight out of ten to close the season,

2783
02:17:55,079 --> 02:17:58,159
and then camp right back last year started the season

2784
02:17:58,200 --> 02:18:00,600
with the winning Kansas City to night they on the banner.

2785
02:18:00,959 --> 02:18:03,159
You started to believe there was something happening here, that

2786
02:18:03,360 --> 02:18:05,760
that was real. And then to see them win the

2787
02:18:05,840 --> 02:18:08,520
division last year, something they hadn't done in thirty years,

2788
02:18:09,040 --> 02:18:10,959
to beat the Rams, to beat the Bucks, to get

2789
02:18:11,040 --> 02:18:14,360
the NFC Championship game, and basically thirty minutes away from

2790
02:18:14,360 --> 02:18:19,520
a super Bowl. You understand what they've got. And I

2791
02:18:19,559 --> 02:18:21,399
think the most impressive thing about it, Matt, is that

2792
02:18:21,879 --> 02:18:25,719
it's built on a firm foundation with young players that

2793
02:18:25,799 --> 02:18:29,319
are developing and getting better. Whereas in the past we've

2794
02:18:29,360 --> 02:18:31,680
seen maybe a Lions team that got to the playoffs

2795
02:18:31,719 --> 02:18:33,639
and it looked like it was just kind of you know,

2796
02:18:33,760 --> 02:18:37,079
put together with Stixon glue, had a chance, but nothing

2797
02:18:37,159 --> 02:18:41,440
really that was gonna last. So yeah, it's exciting. They're

2798
02:18:41,639 --> 02:18:46,079
legitimately good. They are are playing great football right now.

2799
02:18:46,159 --> 02:18:51,479
They've endured some injuries, but it's I think the most

2800
02:18:51,639 --> 02:18:53,920
that that Lions fans have been able to sink their

2801
02:18:53,959 --> 02:18:55,520
teeth into in a long long time.

2802
02:18:56,360 --> 02:18:57,719
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this to go back to your

2803
02:18:57,760 --> 02:18:59,520
memory banks, a little bit if you don't mind. The

2804
02:18:59,639 --> 02:19:02,200
day that Matthew Stafford gets moved to Los Angeles in

2805
02:19:02,319 --> 02:19:06,280
return for Jared Goff. The reaction to Detroit sports fans,

2806
02:19:06,760 --> 02:19:09,799
people that cover the team, guys like yourself, is saying,

2807
02:19:10,280 --> 02:19:12,319
what are we doing here? Or was it time for

2808
02:19:12,440 --> 02:19:15,479
Matthew to go? And then fast forward to now about

2809
02:19:15,520 --> 02:19:18,159
the development of Golf as a quarterback while wearing the

2810
02:19:18,200 --> 02:19:18,760
Lions gear.

2811
02:19:20,520 --> 02:19:23,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, completely respectful of Matthew. It was time to go.

2812
02:19:24,639 --> 02:19:27,319
They just needed to turn the page.

2813
02:19:27,440 --> 02:19:27,600
Speaker 2: Now.

2814
02:19:27,959 --> 02:19:33,879
Speaker 5: The acquisition of Jared Goff, I don't think a lot

2815
02:19:33,959 --> 02:19:35,399
of us thought that he was going to be the

2816
02:19:35,440 --> 02:19:38,680
long term quarterback in Detroit. I thought there was a chance.

2817
02:19:39,280 --> 02:19:41,360
I knew they had to rehabilitate him, and I'd seen

2818
02:19:41,440 --> 02:19:43,680
him take a team, you know, into the playoffs and

2819
02:19:43,760 --> 02:19:46,520
into a Super Bowl, and he had done some good things.

2820
02:19:46,600 --> 02:19:49,200
But he had just fallen. It seemed so far off

2821
02:19:49,280 --> 02:19:51,639
the map at LA and they had lost faith in

2822
02:19:51,760 --> 02:19:54,600
him and certainly seemed like they were just shipping him out.

2823
02:19:54,639 --> 02:19:58,159
But I will say this, the guys that believed that

2824
02:19:58,399 --> 02:20:02,000
he could be the Lions next started quarterback for the

2825
02:20:02,079 --> 02:20:05,079
long term, where the general manager Brad Holmes and his

2826
02:20:05,120 --> 02:20:08,639
assistant general manager Ray Agnew, both of whom were in

2827
02:20:08,959 --> 02:20:11,920
LA when they drafted him, and both of whom were

2828
02:20:11,959 --> 02:20:15,040
part of the Rams organization that saw him play his

2829
02:20:15,159 --> 02:20:18,719
best football out there. So while I think the widespread

2830
02:20:18,840 --> 02:20:22,760
view was he's a placeholder, he's a bridge quarterback, I

2831
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:26,719
think they felt like this guy, with the right team

2832
02:20:26,799 --> 02:20:30,399
around him, can be the starting quarterback for the Detroit Lions.

2833
02:20:30,399 --> 02:20:32,920
And I think that belief has been born out, and

2834
02:20:33,319 --> 02:20:35,799
Jared is now playing the best football of his career

2835
02:20:35,920 --> 02:20:39,440
and really put together a one month stretch here that

2836
02:20:39,559 --> 02:20:41,719
you could throw some numbers up there that no quarterback

2837
02:20:41,760 --> 02:20:44,360
in NFL history has ever put together in terms of

2838
02:20:44,440 --> 02:20:50,040
completion percentage, quarterback rating and getting through a tough five

2839
02:20:50,159 --> 02:20:52,479
week stretch here that we looked at at the beginning

2840
02:20:52,559 --> 02:20:54,079
of the year and thought, man, that's going to be

2841
02:20:54,120 --> 02:20:57,600
probably the most difficult part of their schedule, and he's been.

2842
02:20:57,559 --> 02:21:01,600
Speaker 2: At his Bestan Miller, the voice of the Lions, with

2843
02:21:01,840 --> 02:21:03,920
us here on a Sports Talk seven, Andy coming to

2844
02:21:03,920 --> 02:21:07,079
you from Oklahoma City. You do a weekly second with

2845
02:21:07,280 --> 02:21:11,879
Dan and Campbell. We obviously only get sound bites and whatnot. Obviously,

2846
02:21:12,040 --> 02:21:14,719
the guys love him, the city loves him. He's a

2847
02:21:14,879 --> 02:21:18,000
typical of the typical coach speaker we'll see around the

2848
02:21:18,120 --> 02:21:20,239
NFL circles. But take us into your world a little bit.

2849
02:21:20,280 --> 02:21:22,479
You get a chance to talk with him on I'm

2850
02:21:22,559 --> 02:21:24,799
assuming several times during the week, whether it's on television

2851
02:21:24,879 --> 02:21:27,479
or radio. Give me some things about him that maybe

2852
02:21:27,520 --> 02:21:30,680
the average fan in Houston, Texas watching the Lions from

2853
02:21:30,719 --> 02:21:31,959
a distance wouldn't know about him.

2854
02:21:33,440 --> 02:21:36,879
Speaker 5: You know, start with this. He's a great person. I mean,

2855
02:21:37,159 --> 02:21:40,799
he's got a good heart. He means well in everything

2856
02:21:40,879 --> 02:21:45,520
that he does. He cares about other people. And I've

2857
02:21:45,520 --> 02:21:47,120
been doing this long enough to know that not all

2858
02:21:47,159 --> 02:21:49,040
coaches are like that. They can get caught up in

2859
02:21:49,120 --> 02:21:51,479
their own little world and it is about what they're

2860
02:21:51,559 --> 02:21:55,079
doing and not worrying about anybody else. He's a heck

2861
02:21:55,120 --> 02:21:58,000
of a person. I think that's that's where you start

2862
02:21:58,079 --> 02:22:02,000
with him. His wife's out ending, he's got a great family,

2863
02:22:03,319 --> 02:22:06,479
and I think that's that's kind of what permeates everything

2864
02:22:06,639 --> 02:22:10,639
he does. There's a consistency to him. He's the exact

2865
02:22:10,719 --> 02:22:12,840
same person if you're sitting on the couch talking to

2866
02:22:12,920 --> 02:22:15,200
him doing in an interview as if you were drinking

2867
02:22:15,239 --> 02:22:18,760
a beer in the corner as if you were spending

2868
02:22:18,840 --> 02:22:22,920
any time with him. He doesn't change. I've not seen

2869
02:22:23,040 --> 02:22:25,520
him lose his temper ever in a press conference. I've

2870
02:22:25,559 --> 02:22:28,239
not seen him ever let somebody get under his skin.

2871
02:22:28,760 --> 02:22:31,200
He just he has an ability to kind of go

2872
02:22:31,360 --> 02:22:33,600
with the flow. And I think the players appreciate. They

2873
02:22:33,639 --> 02:22:38,159
appreciate the consistency. They appreciate the honesty, They appreciate always

2874
02:22:38,239 --> 02:22:40,920
knowing where they stand. They appreciate the fact that he

2875
02:22:41,120 --> 02:22:44,319
clearly cares about them and wants to do best by

2876
02:22:44,440 --> 02:22:47,639
them and give them the best opportunity to succeed. He

2877
02:22:47,799 --> 02:22:51,719
has been exactly what Detroit needed. And you know, his

2878
02:22:51,840 --> 02:22:55,440
initial press conference was the whole kneecap thing that everybody

2879
02:22:55,520 --> 02:22:59,159
pulled that thirty seconds out. But I tell you, we've

2880
02:22:59,200 --> 02:23:01,920
seen a lot of press conferences here because unfortunately we've

2881
02:23:02,040 --> 02:23:04,520
changed a lot of coaches, with the Lions, with the Tigers,

2882
02:23:04,760 --> 02:23:05,520
with the Pistons, with.

2883
02:23:05,559 --> 02:23:06,159
Speaker 2: The red Wings.

2884
02:23:06,680 --> 02:23:10,120
Speaker 5: That was the best introductory press conference I'd ever seen

2885
02:23:10,559 --> 02:23:12,879
because he said the things that people needed to hear.

2886
02:23:13,280 --> 02:23:16,719
And it wasn't blowing smoke, it wasn't just blue skies.

2887
02:23:17,159 --> 02:23:19,920
It was about what the vision was what it was

2888
02:23:20,000 --> 02:23:24,000
going to take, and I think it resonated with people

2889
02:23:24,120 --> 02:23:28,840
right away. But he just has an infectious, charismatic personality

2890
02:23:29,559 --> 02:23:33,680
that I think people liked, I think players liked, and

2891
02:23:33,840 --> 02:23:35,639
it has been perfect for Detroit.

2892
02:23:36,920 --> 02:23:40,040
Speaker 2: Dan Aiden Hutchinson's leg injury was gruesome, sad for a

2893
02:23:40,079 --> 02:23:42,680
lot of Detroit Lions fans, like, what it's going to happen.

2894
02:23:42,760 --> 02:23:44,479
Now you lose one of the best defensive players in

2895
02:23:44,559 --> 02:23:47,120
the games. Zadarius Smith comes in the trade. First of all,

2896
02:23:47,639 --> 02:23:50,000
what do you know about Zadarius except on the opposite

2897
02:23:50,040 --> 02:23:52,600
side calling games against the Browns? And then what's his

2898
02:23:52,680 --> 02:23:53,719
availability for Sunday?

2899
02:23:53,760 --> 02:23:56,920
Speaker 5: Do you think, Yeah, I think that's up in the air.

2900
02:23:56,959 --> 02:23:59,079
I think there's a chance you won't play. I think

2901
02:23:59,200 --> 02:24:01,799
they are coggins of the fact that this was his

2902
02:24:02,000 --> 02:24:05,319
bye week and he stayed in Cleveland, and he's a

2903
02:24:05,399 --> 02:24:08,120
thirty two year old guy who, if he played, would

2904
02:24:08,120 --> 02:24:10,520
be on schedule for eighteen games, and I think they

2905
02:24:11,239 --> 02:24:13,399
are cognizant of the fact that he might need a

2906
02:24:13,440 --> 02:24:16,360
little downtime before he jumps in there. They gave him

2907
02:24:16,399 --> 02:24:18,879
some time to go back home and get everything in order,

2908
02:24:19,200 --> 02:24:23,319
and he just came back today. So Obviously it's gonna

2909
02:24:23,319 --> 02:24:25,280
be a crash course in the playbook. If he plays,

2910
02:24:25,680 --> 02:24:27,680
it'll be a limited snap count. Look, here's what I

2911
02:24:27,799 --> 02:24:29,959
know about him, and he's been in the NFC North,

2912
02:24:30,040 --> 02:24:33,760
so we've seen him for quite some time. He's thirty

2913
02:24:33,799 --> 02:24:35,440
two years old, so he's not what he was when

2914
02:24:35,440 --> 02:24:38,799
he was twenty six. But he still can provide something

2915
02:24:38,879 --> 02:24:41,120
that they desperately need, and that's an ability to get

2916
02:24:41,159 --> 02:24:44,399
after the quarterback. Because when Aiden went down and Marcus

2917
02:24:44,479 --> 02:24:47,559
Davenport went down and Derek Barnes went down, you know,

2918
02:24:47,680 --> 02:24:51,239
they lost three of their best edge guys and John

2919
02:24:51,319 --> 02:24:53,920
Kaminski was another guy that went down for them earlier

2920
02:24:54,000 --> 02:24:58,120
this year in training camp, so they really needed something.

2921
02:24:58,799 --> 02:25:01,719
And he walks in the door as their best edge rusher.

2922
02:25:02,799 --> 02:25:05,479
So again, don't know if he's gonna play this week.

2923
02:25:05,840 --> 02:25:08,840
Josh Pascal will be back. He's a former second round

2924
02:25:08,879 --> 02:25:10,600
pick that I know they're hoping is going to be

2925
02:25:10,639 --> 02:25:12,600
able to take some steps this year and help them out.

2926
02:25:13,040 --> 02:25:15,559
But it is a question mark, Matt about this team

2927
02:25:15,680 --> 02:25:18,319
and what they're going to be able to accomplish if

2928
02:25:18,399 --> 02:25:22,159
they can't get that pass rush going, because it's been

2929
02:25:22,239 --> 02:25:24,840
a problem even the last couple of weeks when we've

2930
02:25:24,879 --> 02:25:27,600
played some quarterbacks. You know, Jordan Love wasn't one hundred percent,

2931
02:25:28,360 --> 02:25:30,760
Mason Rudolph isn't top of the line when it comes

2932
02:25:30,799 --> 02:25:33,280
to NFL starters, but they get a lot of time

2933
02:25:33,399 --> 02:25:35,360
back there, and it's hard to survive in this league

2934
02:25:35,360 --> 02:25:37,840
if you're not at least impacting the pass or somehow.

2935
02:25:38,920 --> 02:25:41,959
Speaker 2: Lastly, Dan, as you and I are speaking, the Texans

2936
02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:45,600
have activated Nico Collins and put him on the off

2937
02:25:45,639 --> 02:25:48,000
of the injured reserve list. He can now open to

2938
02:25:48,120 --> 02:25:50,680
practice today. So that's gonna be a very encouraging sign

2939
02:25:50,760 --> 02:25:53,760
for Texans fans. Tell me what the Lions secondary will

2940
02:25:53,799 --> 02:25:56,319
be like if indeed Nico Collins and Tank Dell are

2941
02:25:56,360 --> 02:25:58,479
the main two guys that c aj Strong can throw

2942
02:25:58,520 --> 02:25:59,559
to on Sunday.

2943
02:26:00,600 --> 02:26:03,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, their secondary is a lot better. They got two

2944
02:26:03,959 --> 02:26:07,040
guys playing great at safety right now. Kirby Joseph and

2945
02:26:07,319 --> 02:26:09,840
Brian Branch are two of the highest rated safeties if

2946
02:26:09,879 --> 02:26:13,360
you look at PFF or one of those sites. They've

2947
02:26:13,440 --> 02:26:16,639
been outstanding. And Terry and Arnold, the rookie first round pick,

2948
02:26:16,719 --> 02:26:19,639
has gotten better. Carlton Davis, a veteran, has been a

2949
02:26:19,760 --> 02:26:23,000
great ad for them. A Meek Robertson, a veteran that

2950
02:26:23,040 --> 02:26:25,319
they signed as a free agent, has been solid as

2951
02:26:25,360 --> 02:26:29,479
a nickel. So look, their secondary is good. It's worlds

2952
02:26:29,559 --> 02:26:32,040
better than it was last year. But again, I think

2953
02:26:32,079 --> 02:26:36,040
the equalizer is if you can't pressure Stroud into throwing

2954
02:26:36,120 --> 02:26:37,920
the ball maybe a little bit before he wants to,

2955
02:26:38,559 --> 02:26:40,399
or at least force him to get it out of there.

2956
02:26:40,559 --> 02:26:43,079
And he's got a lot of time back there. A

2957
02:26:43,159 --> 02:26:45,120
lot of quarterbacks in this league are gonna pick you apart,

2958
02:26:45,159 --> 02:26:46,959
and he's certainly one of them. So that's one of

2959
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:49,479
the things I'm watching in this game. Look, we saw

2960
02:26:49,559 --> 02:26:51,680
what happened last time out against the Jets. He got

2961
02:26:51,799 --> 02:26:54,799
roughed up that offensive line, in particular in the middle

2962
02:26:55,040 --> 02:26:57,040
where the Lions do you have some strength with DJ

2963
02:26:57,159 --> 02:27:01,360
Reeder and Alee McNeil. Houston has been vulnerable there, so

2964
02:27:02,559 --> 02:27:05,159
the Lions have to find a way to impact him

2965
02:27:05,319 --> 02:27:08,799
or else he can, you know, make these receivers into

2966
02:27:08,840 --> 02:27:11,239
big play guys, and that can be problematic for Detroit.

2967
02:27:11,319 --> 02:27:13,360
So I think if you're looking at this game, that's

2968
02:27:13,399 --> 02:27:15,959
something to keep an eye on. Is Detroit getting a

2969
02:27:16,079 --> 02:27:20,280
pass rush or is Houston able to function offensively with

2970
02:27:20,479 --> 02:27:22,559
Stroud kind of having time back there and if that

2971
02:27:22,760 --> 02:27:24,479
is that that's problematic for Detroit.

2972
02:27:25,399 --> 02:27:27,959
Speaker 2: And again our thanks to Dan mullarg from Fox Too

2973
02:27:28,159 --> 02:27:30,879

02:29:46,799 --> 02:29:50,680
time down for non Florida stories, which changings up a

3006
02:29:50,680 --> 02:29:53,399
little bit. Connor you will go first today on non

Florida stories. Oh yeah, I'm ready to go. Hold on

3008
02:29:55,920 --> 02:29:56,360

3009
02:29:57,559 --> 02:29:59,040
Speaker 6: We get say I'm ready to go and then hold

3010
02:29:59,079 --> 02:30:01,920
on one second. Okay, those two statements conflict.

3011
02:30:02,159 --> 02:30:03,680
Speaker 3: When have I ever gone first.

3012
02:30:05,079 --> 02:30:07,520
Speaker 2: Today? Today? Off a little way.

3013
02:30:08,280 --> 02:30:10,120
Speaker 3: Adam Klan is in here and he is wearing a

3014
02:30:10,200 --> 02:30:13,840
pricey Rockets jacket. As we all predicted, there's zero stunner

3015
02:30:13,879 --> 02:30:14,559
on that bad war.

3016
02:30:15,959 --> 02:30:16,479
Speaker 2: All right, I'll go.

3017
02:30:16,559 --> 02:30:19,840
Speaker 10: In New York, man Mark Longo, age thirty four, rescued

3018
02:30:19,879 --> 02:30:22,680
a squirrel named Peanut and a raccoon named Fred and

3019
02:30:22,799 --> 02:30:26,639
turned them into social media stars, amassing hundreds of thousands

3020
02:30:26,680 --> 02:30:29,079
of followers by filming videos with his beloved pets in

3021
02:30:29,159 --> 02:30:33,680
his home. However, the Department of Environmental Conservation received anonymous

3022
02:30:33,719 --> 02:30:36,680
complaints about Peanut and Fred and brought at least six

3023
02:30:36,879 --> 02:30:40,159
officers to raid Longo's home, and they took the squirrel

3024
02:30:40,200 --> 02:30:42,600
and raccoon and the animals were eventually euthanized.

3025
02:30:43,319 --> 02:30:45,760
Speaker 2: This was a huge story earlier this week.

3026
02:30:45,680 --> 02:30:48,719
Speaker 10: With a Department of Environmental Conservation having to answer questions

3027
02:30:49,440 --> 02:30:52,920
constantly about Fred and Peanuts. Blongo was aware that it

3028
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:54,639
is against New York state law to own a wild

3029
02:30:54,680 --> 02:30:56,639
animal without a license, but he was in the process

3030
02:30:56,719 --> 02:30:59,920
of filing paperwork to get Peanut certified as an educational animal.

3031
02:31:00,120 --> 02:31:03,040
Speaker 3: So Peanut and Fred social media stars, gone too soon.

3032
02:31:04,559 --> 02:31:06,879
Speaker 2: Peanut the squirrel the names of that's the name of

3033
02:31:06,920 --> 02:31:10,520
the squirrel. And Fred the raccoon. Fred the raccoon dead

3034
02:31:12,399 --> 02:31:13,120
home rated.

3035
02:31:14,200 --> 02:31:18,680
Speaker 3: It seems like a good use of government resources. Find

3036
02:31:18,760 --> 02:31:22,479
some harmless rootkie of raccoon and squirrel and have them euthanized.

3037
02:31:24,159 --> 02:31:27,360
Speaker 2: They put on a YouTube channel or no they didn't euthanize. No,

3038
02:31:27,559 --> 02:31:31,799
not the euthanization. Yeah, what at least shake things up?

3039
02:31:31,879 --> 02:31:33,760
What kind of sick human being are you? Man? You

3040
02:31:33,840 --> 02:31:36,479
want to see a raccoon put to death? You make

3041
02:31:36,559 --> 02:31:37,079
me sick.

3042
02:31:38,520 --> 02:31:41,239
Speaker 3: Speaking of sick, I have this first Sambe and now

3043
02:31:41,399 --> 02:31:45,239
Peanut I know, and uh, what was the other one?

3044
02:31:47,959 --> 02:31:49,600
Speaker 2: Oh? The oh you're talking about the ape.

3045
02:31:50,680 --> 02:31:53,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't remember Harambe getting shot to death.

3046
02:31:53,879 --> 02:31:55,799
Speaker 2: There was a lot of coverage on that. There was

3047
02:31:55,879 --> 02:31:59,799
a lot of coverage, probably way too much. All right,

3048
02:32:00,319 --> 02:32:04,600
Rosa go second. Okay, you ever been to famous Yeti's

3049
02:32:04,639 --> 02:32:05,840
Pizza in Wisconsin.

3050
02:32:06,399 --> 02:32:09,319
Speaker 3: No, I have not been to famous Yeti's are Yeti's

3051
02:32:09,360 --> 02:32:10,520
known for making good pizza.

3052
02:32:10,959 --> 02:32:15,879
Speaker 2: I didn't know this. One of the cooks was looking

3053
02:32:16,000 --> 02:32:18,879
to make a batch of dough and he grabbed the

3054
02:32:19,200 --> 02:32:26,840
wrong oil to make this batch of dough. Explain, this

3055
02:32:27,040 --> 02:32:29,239
batch of dough was going to make sixty pizzas, in

3056
02:32:29,319 --> 02:32:32,319
which it did, and unfortunately there was something in the

3057
02:32:32,520 --> 02:32:35,920
oil that was grabbed that was not part of the

3058
02:32:36,520 --> 02:32:40,440
essential baking ingredients that to make successful pizza dough. What

3059
02:32:40,719 --> 02:32:44,360
was in this contaminated oil THC?

3060
02:32:46,159 --> 02:32:48,479
Speaker 3: Oh, so they're sails it through the roof the after that.

3061
02:32:49,280 --> 02:32:53,239
Speaker 2: For those that don't know, THC is a form of marijuana.

3062
02:32:54,000 --> 02:32:57,959
Speaker 3: It's a chemical in marijuana, the psychoactive or I don't

3063
02:32:57,959 --> 02:32:58,600
even know whatever.

3064
02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's legal and Wisconsin, but products such as THC

3065
02:33:02,520 --> 02:33:05,959
derived from the hemp plant are legal. Health officials said

3066
02:33:05,959 --> 02:33:08,000
the olden question could be used to make everything from

3067
02:33:08,079 --> 02:33:12,879
cookies to condiments. So apparently a bunch of people ordered

3068
02:33:12,920 --> 02:33:17,040
pizza from this famous Yettes Pizza in Dane County, Wisconsin,

3069
02:33:18,200 --> 02:33:22,440
and several people apparently were several dozens of people were

3070
02:33:22,600 --> 02:33:25,760
sick because of this. Now you say this was a

3071
02:33:26,000 --> 02:33:30,559
there's no way this was an accident. Health officials said

3072
02:33:30,559 --> 02:33:32,920
they have received dozens of reports of people who recently

3073
02:33:32,959 --> 02:33:35,200
got sick from the pizza and are still taking reports.

3074
02:33:36,200 --> 02:33:42,079
THC related symptoms can include dizziness, increased blood pressure, vomiting, anxiety, paranoid,

3075
02:33:42,120 --> 02:33:44,799
and elucidation. So it looks like the was in hungry

3076
02:33:45,920 --> 02:33:49,360
in hunger. Oh well, Apparently this is a bad idea.

3077
02:33:49,440 --> 02:33:50,120
Who was doing this?

3078
02:33:50,719 --> 02:33:53,920
Speaker 3: Children ate the pizza? I didn't say the age is

3079
02:33:53,959 --> 02:33:56,799
on this, No, I'm reading. I went to Public Health

3080
02:33:56,920 --> 02:33:59,159
Madison in Dane County, and it's saying that children as

3081
02:33:59,239 --> 02:34:04,600
you as young as one years old. Oh no, First

3082
02:34:04,600 --> 02:34:05,959
of all, a one year old eating pizza.

3083
02:34:07,639 --> 02:34:09,520
Speaker 2: No, you're not supposed to feed a one year old pizza.

3084
02:34:09,639 --> 02:34:12,159
There's no way unless they're guming it.

3085
02:34:13,399 --> 02:34:16,600
Speaker 3: H unless you're doing like a like a motherbird. You

3086
02:34:16,719 --> 02:34:18,479
chew it and then you spit it in the in

3087
02:34:18,559 --> 02:34:19,280
the baby's mouth.

3088
02:34:20,040 --> 02:34:23,440
Speaker 2: The owner of famous Yetti's Pizza, Kale Ryan, said, quote,

3089
02:34:23,600 --> 02:34:31,760
they really got stoned, wouldn't it. Hmmm, they got intoxicated

3090
02:34:31,840 --> 02:34:34,079
from the THHC. So I think it's more alarming than

3091
02:34:34,120 --> 02:34:36,520
anything to feel that way. It's basically at eating an

3092
02:34:36,680 --> 02:34:40,000
edible but without knowing. Now, if you bake the pizza oil,

3093
02:34:40,319 --> 02:34:43,079
that's not like smoking or burning it off.

3094
02:34:43,319 --> 02:34:46,239
Speaker 3: I'm we need a scientist on this. Does it still

3095
02:34:46,280 --> 02:34:49,040
have the same effects? I guess you bake it in

3096
02:34:49,120 --> 02:34:51,079
cookies and it works, so yeah, I guess it would.

3097
02:34:54,000 --> 02:34:57,159
Speaker 2: These are questions that will require additional research from yourself.

3098
02:34:57,200 --> 02:34:58,920
I think I can get some hands on research going.

3099
02:34:59,159 --> 02:35:01,360
Let me get it to whistle. Just be careful to

3100
02:35:01,399 --> 02:35:03,399
oil you putting your dough. That's all. That's the that's

3101
02:35:03,840 --> 02:35:12,200
there's no way that was an accident. Gobble, gobble. I

3102
02:35:12,239 --> 02:35:15,360
don't even know what to say. Now, there's no way

3103
02:35:15,440 --> 02:35:17,760
that could have been done accidentally. No, you don't accidentally.

3104
02:35:17,840 --> 02:35:19,879
You're not trying to grab a bottle of olive oil.

3105
02:35:21,159 --> 02:35:22,959
Well where did this oil? How do this oil get

3106
02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:24,959
put in the in the restaurant to begin with? It's

3107
02:35:24,959 --> 02:35:25,440
what I want to know.

3108
02:35:25,440 --> 02:35:29,200
Speaker 3: It was somebody who's some stoner brought it. I guess

3109
02:35:29,239 --> 02:35:30,959
they thought they were going to be funny and serve

3110
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:32,920
a bunch of people up some weed pizza.

3111
02:35:33,920 --> 02:35:35,399
Speaker 2: But I mean, do you think this guy was like,

3112
02:35:35,559 --> 02:35:39,440
it's also a waste of money? Yeah, why would you

3113
02:35:39,520 --> 02:35:40,719
get you you don't want to No, I don't think

3114
02:35:40,719 --> 02:35:43,040
it was an an intentionally, I don't want to.

3115
02:35:43,239 --> 02:35:46,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to search how much THC oil costs

3116
02:35:46,159 --> 02:35:48,639
on my work laptop. So maybe you can do that

3117
02:35:48,760 --> 02:35:51,520
for him, then you you can do that for us, Matt.

3118
02:35:51,600 --> 02:35:55,120
But it seems like a waste of money.

3119
02:35:55,719 --> 02:35:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so well, thankfully nobody is I mean, they got

3120
02:35:59,319 --> 02:36:02,040
stone and probably vomited. That's probably as bad as a god, hopefully.

3121
02:36:02,799 --> 02:36:04,680
But first of all, there's no way a one year

3122
02:36:04,719 --> 02:36:07,200
old's and knock and back of pepperoni with the mushroom pizza.

3123
02:36:07,719 --> 02:36:12,920
Speaker 3: Hm, I mean Stoner's and pizza is a classic combo, Matt.

3124
02:36:13,559 --> 02:36:15,879
It's true fasht time as a Ridgemont High they brought

3125
02:36:15,879 --> 02:36:19,159
a pizza to class. I missed that, but I only

3126
02:36:19,200 --> 02:36:20,719
saw I've only seen one scene of that movie.

3127
02:36:21,319 --> 02:36:25,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I bet I know which one it was. It

3128
02:36:25,319 --> 02:36:27,600
is a good scene, and those weren't hers, I don't think.

3129
02:36:31,399 --> 02:36:36,600
Just saying that, and that's my non Flora story. Thank you, Matt.

3130
02:36:39,360 --> 02:36:41,000
Where they are we done? Do we have time for mine?

3131
02:36:41,120 --> 02:36:43,159
I don't even know if we have time? Hurry quickly

3132
02:36:43,239 --> 02:36:46,600
go uh oh I lost it? Oh wait a minute,

3133
02:36:47,120 --> 02:36:49,120
where did it go? Yes?

3134
02:36:49,200 --> 02:36:53,120
Speaker 3: Some monkeys have escaped, Matt. Forty three monkeys have escaped

3135
02:36:53,159 --> 02:36:57,520
a South Carolina research facility. Police warned residents to secure

3136
02:36:57,719 --> 02:37:05,200
doors and windows. This is in Beaufort County, South Carolina.

3137
02:37:05,319 --> 02:37:08,840
Forty three primates have broken loose from the Alpha Genesis facility,

3138
02:37:08,920 --> 02:37:11,120
whatever that is. This sounds like to start to a

3139
02:37:11,280 --> 02:37:16,719
horror movie. Ya, MASSI Police Department is trying to locate

3140
02:37:16,840 --> 02:37:18,079
and capture the monkeys.

3141
02:37:21,360 --> 02:37:23,520
Speaker 2: Isn't there a song with George Michael with where is

3142
02:37:23,559 --> 02:37:31,840
your Monkey? I don't know? Okay how many monkeys were gone?

3143
02:37:31,920 --> 02:37:33,600
Speaker 3: I think he was acutely aware of where all his

3144
02:37:33,680 --> 02:37:34,239
monkeys were.

3145
02:37:34,879 --> 02:37:38,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's enough. The man's dead. Let's go may rest.

3146
02:37:39,280 --> 02:37:40,399
How many monkeys all together?

3147
02:37:40,520 --> 02:37:43,000
Speaker 3: Forty three monkeys are on the loose in South Carolina?

3148
02:37:43,280 --> 02:37:45,159
Speaker 2: When's the lost time we saw forty three monkeys in

3149
02:37:45,200 --> 02:37:45,719
one sitting?

3150
02:37:48,319 --> 02:37:51,360
Speaker 3: The CEO of Alpha Genesis said, quote being goofy monkeys

3151
02:37:51,440 --> 02:37:53,280
jumping back and forth, playing with each other.

3152
02:37:53,600 --> 02:37:56,879
Speaker 2: It's a playground situation. But the monkeys are kind of

3153
02:37:56,959 --> 02:38:03,079
being chill about it. So far, it looks like hopefully

3154
02:38:03,120 --> 02:38:03,799
they can be found.

3155
02:38:05,799 --> 02:38:07,360
Speaker 3: Do you know where all your monkeys are at?

3156
02:38:08,440 --> 02:38:09,680
Speaker 2: I don't carry any monkeys with me.

3157
02:38:10,680 --> 02:38:13,479
