00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,960
no there's no playtime here. It's uh, it's all serious. No,

52
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,039
it's uh, it's it's crazy. I mean, this thing. We've

53
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:55,319
been to Ragio ros so many times. It's gotten too big.

54
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,400
It's I'm almost glad we didn't bring the whole station in.

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,439
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. The guy that's there says he glad that

56
00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:02,120
nobody else is there. I can hear you.

57
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 8: It's it's the problem is they're now calling it media row.

58
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:10,800
It's every podcast one of the NFLPR guys. He's like,

59
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,919
it's ridiculous. He goes, we got these you know podcasters

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,599
who have like ten views, you know, they have a channel,

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,840
and it's like, you know, it's it's get it's getting

62
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,520
a little bit over over the top. Now.

63
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,719
Speaker 2: Hmmm, all right, Well you were just setting up a

64
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:24,400
joke that man Thomas would make on a tea But

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,439
I'm not gonna do that, Cordy. So yeah, So, like

66
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:30,520
you said, you've been there for years and years and years.

67
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,240
Is it still in a big, sprawling ballroom?

68
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 5: Uh? What is it?

69
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:38,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the Convention Center in New Orleans. It's one

70
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,879
of the big balls. But I mean we're we're we're

71
00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:43,319
actually table six inside of radio row, so we're like

72
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,520
right near the front. We're in a really good spot.

73
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:49,199
But there's three hundred tables, so it's I mean, it's

74
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,240
just inside, but it's it's cool sitting around here, like

75
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,960
Jaylen Milroe just walked by the Alabama quarterback Harry Douglas

76
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,319
from from ESPN, like Thomas Morsteat sitting to the right

77
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:00,800
of me. I mean, it's cool to just look around

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,199
and see it's a lot of big name guests and

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,080
all this. But uh, what we tried to do here,

80
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:07,759
Ross was only bring you the most relevant good guess.

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,879
So Jay Glazer's actually gonna join us next segment, so

82
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:11,439
that would be fun.

83
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,759
Speaker 2: The J Glazer? Yes, okay, the J Glazer joining us?

84
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,759
What else we got later on?

85
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 8: Chris A. Thompson is slated to stop by. Uh we

86
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:24,959
I booked this one just because of you.

87
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 4: Uh.

88
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 8: He is current Saints linebacker Jalen Ford, but known better

89
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,759
as Great Longhorn linebacker Jalen Ford, so well, uh, we'll

90
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,079
talk some Longhorn stuff with him, but uh, and then

91
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,680
whoever else. I mean, we're we're kind of after Jay Glazer.

92
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,639
We're kind of open for two hours. So my goals

93
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:42,319
is just kind of grab somebody and throw them all

94
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:42,639
with us.

95
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,199
Speaker 4: Okay, that sounds great.

96
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,639
Speaker 2: So Chris Corey's gonna be here down in New Orleans

97
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,120
for the Super Bowl radio row, and then we're gonna

98
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,439
be with you folks. You want to get in, you

99
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:54,480
can seven one three two one two five seven ninety

100
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,639
seven to one three two one two five seven ninety

101
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:58,199
So we're gonna be mixing in a lot of football

102
00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:00,279
stuff and some basketball, baseball whatever.

103
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: Gordy, Uh, were.

104
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: You able to catch much of the Rockets game last

105
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,120
night at the very least? I imagine you saw.

106
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,079
Speaker 4: That disaster class of closing a game in Brooklyn last night.

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's not good man, that I mean, look, if that,

108
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,199
if that happens a few weeks ago on a one off,

109
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,680
it is what it is. But it's compounded that you're

110
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,319
now in a four game losing streak, You're now third

111
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,959
in the West. You've been holding out that number two

112
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,680
spot for almost all season. You've got the Memphis Grizzlies

113
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,600
have now jumped you, and the Denver Nuggets are knocking

114
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,800
on the door. They're one game back you and the

115
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Luca Lakers are now just two games back. I mean

116
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,680
this things get a little bit too close. We've been

117
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,199
loving this run the Rockets have been on and man,

118
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:42,959
number two seed in the West, awesome. Now this slide

119
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,279
and it's and it's a slide because you've made stupid

120
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:49,720
mistakes like it's you know, you had a chance to

121
00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:51,959
put to win that nixt game. You had a chance

122
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,160
to win this game last night, and.

123
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,199
Speaker 4: The Grizzlies before that, and the Grizzlies game.

124
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 8: I mean, these are games that might come back to

125
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,000
haunt you.

126
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.

127
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: Two is that, as you mentioned, it's super tightly compact

128
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,000
in the Western Conference, and unfortunately, you know, we can

129
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,120
complain about it and be like.

130
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 4: Oh man, why is the West so tough? It's like

131
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,040
this every year? Well, it is what it is. That's

132
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,000
what it is every year. And we are already above

133
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,120
our expectation level with the Rockets. So I'm not ready

134
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,079
to call this season a failure or anything like this

135
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,759
if they don't finish in the top four. But to

136
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,759
the level of which they are capable, they are not

137
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,360
living up to that right now.

138
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: And last night, to me, there was no excuse. I

139
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,879
can kind of excuse the Knicks game. The Grizzlies games too,

140
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:33,600
It's like, all right, those are one of eighty two.

141
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,240
But last night against a terrible Brooklyn team that is

142
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:40,439
trying to lose, that is tanking, that is holding their

143
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,920
guys out, and yes, you were down Fred van Vliet

144
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,480
and still down Jabari Smith Junior. But the Rockets, as

145
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,759
Emiodoka said in the post game, they only played half

146
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:51,879
a quarter of the whole game. The rest of the game,

147
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:53,639
they were just kind of going through the motions. The

148
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,399
energy wasn't there. They didn't look like they wanted to win.

149
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000
It was to me, it was almost like the basketball

150
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,879
gods saw the Rockets try to steal that game.

151
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:07,319
Speaker 4: Albrynching Goon scores fifteen points in the fourth and they're like, oh,

152
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,680
you want to steal this game, You want to not

153
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,079
put in your full effort. No, we're gonna yank get

154
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,079
away from you because you didn't deserve to win.

155
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:15,399
Speaker 2: Rockets didn't deserve to win last night. It was a

156
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:17,279
freak crazy thing. I mean, I don't know what the

157
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:21,000
percentages are of a three getting knocked down by Keon Johnson,

158
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:24,199
a turnover from Amn Thompson, careless turnover by a men

159
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:27,360
Thompson by the way, and then another three from D'Angelo Russell,

160
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:30,319
all of those things stacking up. The probability is very low.

161
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:32,199
But you still didn't deserve to win that game.

162
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 8: Well, he had a lead, so I mean that's silly.

163
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,079
He had a late lead, so you gotta you gotta

164
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:39,800
find a way.

165
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: Literally And men Thompson had a five second violation the

166
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:45,800
other game, was it against a Knicks or whoever?

167
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 4: And then he does this. I mean there was like

168
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,439
three seconds he could have they could have called a

169
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:52,000
time out and got reset, and he just throws the

170
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,639
ball and Dylan Brooks's general direction and throws it away.

171
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,639
Speaker 8: But is this maybe who they really are? I mean,

172
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,480
maybe they were overachieving. It's for so much a first

173
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,120
part of the season, and now that we're starting to

174
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,120
see that the youth is still you know, they're still flawed.

175
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:10,279
Speaker 2: We will answer that question as we go along here

176
00:08:10,279 --> 00:08:12,240
on Sports Talk seven ninety and the Matt Thomas Show

177
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:15,879
with Ross. Chris Gordy is out at media Media Row

178
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:17,680
as they're calling it now at the Super Bowl. My

179
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:21,759
name is Ross v Rellen Studio here in Houston. Jay Glazier,

180
00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:24,360
NFL Insider coming up next here on the Matt Thomas

181
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:25,319
Show with Ross.

182
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,319
Speaker 1: This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross on Sports

183
00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:33,840
Talk seven ninety.

184
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,759
Speaker 4: Welcome back.

185
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: To a Wednesday of a Super Bowl week edition of

186
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,679
The Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Without Matt Thomas. He

187
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:51,360
is out traveling at the Rockets. They lost last night

188
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:53,480
to the Brooklyn Nets. They will be taking on the

189
00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:00,120
Minnesota Timberwolves tomorrow. As this hellish stretch in January in

190
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,720
February continues, eight games out of nine on the road,

191
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:05,879
just one at home against Brooklyn that they lost.

192
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 4: It's been difficult for them.

193
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: But Chris Gordy is out in New Orleans and we

194
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,639
can go into football mode and we will shortly. I

195
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,759
believe Jay Glazer should be coming by in a little bit, correct.

196
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 8: Mister Gordy, Yes, he is wrapping up. Another interview will

197
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,879
be coming over in just a second. And it's it

198
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:23,720
is funny. It's when you talk about like all the

199
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,679
different faces and big media personalities and all this. Jay's

200
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,320
probably one of the most recognizable faces, right, Like, there's

201
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600
no deny, Like there's some players you'll see you go,

202
00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:35,279
is that I don't know? Is that this guy? There's

203
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,120
no denying when you see Jay Glazer? You know you

204
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,360
know that too, Yeah, I think for sure.

205
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,519
Speaker 2: And and the thing too, is like the NFL and

206
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,039
we watch we watch them every Sunday. They're all wearing helmets,

207
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,039
so it's like it's not like it's not like Major

208
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,279
League Baseball where they're they're they're run helmets with face masks,

209
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:54,679
and there's fifty three on the team. So usually, you know,

210
00:09:54,759 --> 00:09:57,960
unless you're the superstar and probably the quarterbacks most recognizable,

211
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,000
it's a little bit can be a little bit different

212
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,279
cult to spot people at radio row.

213
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, Jay's walking over. He should be here just

214
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,639
a second. So yeah, man, there's a lot of NFL questions.

215
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,440
I definitely want to get his thoughts on on the

216
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,600
uh Texas new OC and a bunch of other stuff.

217
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:17,399
So he's put on the headset right now. He is, Hey,

218
00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:19,799
he's got an entourage with him. Jay Glazer joins.

219
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,759
Speaker 7: This, I was just saying, babyshitters, not entourage.

220
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 9: I was just saying, Jay, I'm famous enough to have

221
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,399
an authoorage, but I need a lot of babysitters.

222
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 8: I was just saying, there's there's a lot of people

223
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,159
here on Radio Rown and we've been coming for so

224
00:10:29,159 --> 00:10:31,399
many years that you go, is that so and so?

225
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,200
I don't know if that's so and so? You're one

226
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,000
of the most like unmistakable. That's Jake Glazer when you

227
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:36,559
see him, you know.

228
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,799
Speaker 7: That hurricane glaze coming through man.

00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, first and foremost shaying I'm the best looking guy here.

230
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,720
That's what I'm here. Yeah, well absolutely, Sometimes people go,

231
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:46,639
is that Brad Pitt, I get that a lot.

232
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 8: First and foremost, I know you're from l A, and

233
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,759
you go, I'm from No No, I live in LA

234
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,799
and you have been uses in LA and all that is?

235
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,279
Everything good with with you. Fires and all that.

236
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,639
Speaker 9: We my wife who's right over here, Rosie, we uh

237
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:04,080
we evacuated three times in about five weeks. We had

238
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,799
three different fires. The last one obviously scared the crap

239
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:10,240
out of us. Our old house burnt to the ground.

240
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,320
We got out of it.

241
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,039
Speaker 7: We have a new house, which fantastic.

242
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,919
Speaker 9: But we were we were uh yeah, we were we

243
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,840
were evacuated for quite a while, and then when we

244
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:23,320
got back, uh, we kept kept turning our power off.

245
00:11:23,399 --> 00:11:27,039
And but I got a lot of friends who've lost

246
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,600
literally everything and like everything. And actually, my wife did

247
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:35,360
a beautiful thing. My wife rose over her own clothing

248
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:38,759
stores called Varga, and at Fox we had I think

249
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,919
eight women who lost every and when I said, you

250
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,679
lost everything, like.

251
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 7: The clothes you have on your back is all you have?

252
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, and she actually outfitted uh everyone at Fox who

253
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,720
did lose everything full wardrobes.

254
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 7: Again.

255
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 9: They I don't know if you saw it, but a

256
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,480
couple of weeks ago, you know, we have the street

257
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,600
from our house one hundred yards it looks like a

258
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:03,799
military base goes on for a.

259
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 7: Mile and a half.

260
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 9: Fifty four hundred firefighters straged. And I started going down

261
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,840
and I'm bringing down. I'm part of this company called

262
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:12,960
Jimmy Barr's Protein Bar, So I started bringing that down.

263
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,879
I started trying to give mental health talks to them,

264
00:12:14,919 --> 00:12:17,519
just to lift them up anything. And then finally one

265
00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:20,320
day they're like, hey, you know we really need besides

266
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,679
energy drakes and powery this and that.

267
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,639
Speaker 7: We just want to watch football. Yeah, And I said

268
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,000
I know someone who can make that happen.

269
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,519
Speaker 9: And I called the CEO of Fox, Eric Shacks Fox Boards,

270
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,559
and I was like, dude, these guys just want like this.

271
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:34,879
Speaker 7: Escape when they're on break.

272
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,399
Speaker 9: And by the way their shifts were going first, there

273
00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:40,759
are forty eight hour shifts. And thinking about this too,

274
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:43,200
the bravery of these people, like they left their homes.

275
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,279
And we saw people firefighters in that area from Israel

276
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,320
who flew in from British Columbia.

277
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,399
Speaker 7: From my wife from his tiny town and idol called Melbourne.

278
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 9: We saw firemen from there, from Wyoming, Colorado, you name.

279
00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 7: It is the worst of times brings together the best

280
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:02,480
of people.

281
00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:06,639
Speaker 9: But actually in a day, Fox got ten TVs put

282
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,559
up there for them to watch all the.

283
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:11,039
Speaker 7: Playoff guys, not just Foxes.

284
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I ended up doing up my hit from

285
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,039
down there, and I had Dan Campbell and Dan Quinn facetimed.

286
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,799
Speaker 7: The firefighters before their game. That's what's pretty cool. Yeah,

287
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,000
I appreciate you ask.

288
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I just I knew, you know, we build

289
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:25,279
everything I hear about, you know, la, Oh, that's crazy.

290
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,759
Let's let's talk a little football. We're on in Houston,

291
00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:30,120
Texans have a new OC tell me what you know

292
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:31,639
about Nick Kaylee. What are they getting the kame?

293
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 9: I like Nick kelly Man obviously, you know he was

294
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:35,639
with Sean McVay for a little bit and the Patriots,

295
00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:41,559
and but love his look. The culture that that Sean,

296
00:13:42,039 --> 00:13:48,120
you know, teaches guys is fantastic. And you know there's

297
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:51,480
a difference in guy who just comes in and cult

298
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,279
plays and somebody who's gonna help develop and he's gonna

299
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,240
help develop that offensive line, tight ends, uh, the quarterback

300
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,039
to quarterbacks rape. You always need development as a quarterback.

301
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,639
So I do I like, I think I'll do a

302
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:05,080
great job.

303
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to rossback in Houston with you, j

304
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,559
thank you for coming on with us.

305
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 4: And yeah, just on that in the OC search.

306
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 2: Just if you have any insight as far as you

307
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,960
know Nick Cassario as the general manager here in Houston.

308
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,600
The relationship with Tamiko Ryans not necessarily whose call was.

309
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 7: Niko is a stud?

310
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:23,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, that dude just stud.

311
00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 7: That dude is a stud.

312
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 9: Yes, I know I knew him as a player and again,

313
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,799
cultures everything, and I think a guy like that too,

314
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,320
I think they'll always kind of be in the in

315
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:39,480
the because of him. You'll like a Sean mcvatt, you'll

316
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:43,279
always or Kyle Shannon always be in the conversation for

317
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:45,240
as a contender.

318
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,919
Speaker 8: It's it's interesting the offensive line, I mean it was

319
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,720
it was a problem. Yeah, I don't know how you

320
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:52,840
fix it. I mean, Laramie Tunzel's not getting any younger,

321
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,519
Jack Mason all that. But when you saw the Texans

322
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:58,600
this year, was that the glaring weakness and protecting Stroud

323
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,279
and giving him time.

324
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 9: I thought out of it. I was kind of looking

325
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,919
at I was kind of confused. I'm like, man, why

326
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,120
is this why are they struggling so much?

327
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 7: There?

328
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,519
Speaker 9: I was because I thought Slowak was good also, and

329
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:09,559
just you know, it's interesting also about this league works

330
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:12,080
because slow probably could have gotten the head coaching job

331
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:14,039
last year if you wanted to and said now I

332
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:15,440
need to learn a little bit more, which I really

333
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:15,919
liked about it.

334
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:18,559
Speaker 7: And then it just goes to show you how fast

335
00:15:18,559 --> 00:15:19,279
things can change.

336
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:21,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's it's that's I always say, like, when

337
00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:24,440
you're the hot thing, go jump because you know.

338
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,919
Speaker 9: Yeah, But at the same time, if you don't think

339
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,600
you're ready, it's like it's a slippery slop.

340
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:30,279
Speaker 7: I'm not ready.

341
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 9: I'm gonna crap out here in four years and never

342
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,120
gonna get another shot. I think most guys have confidence, like, hey,

343
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:37,120
I'm not ready, but I'm gonna be here for another

344
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,240
couple of years where I can learn nothing. You're gonna

345
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,320
get fired the next year. Yeah, But that's the NFL, man,

346
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,279
It's you know, it's it's the only And I think

347
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:47,919
that's why people of us have so much, so many

348
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:50,440
close relationships in the NFL, because there's no other job.

349
00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:53,960
Like if some accountant screws up your taxes, the whole

350
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,879
worlds not talking about and sit fun on radio the

351
00:15:56,879 --> 00:15:59,679
next day and Fox that weekend, and you know they're

352
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:01,080
not on your kids.

353
00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 8: Hey man, your dad screwed up these tacks.

354
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,279
Speaker 9: He's like, you know, you know, if you screwed setting

355
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,000
up at a restaurant, it's not out there constantly.

356
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 8: Yeah.

357
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,879
Speaker 7: So I think it makes people in the league a

358
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:09,399
lot closer.

359
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,639
Speaker 8: What where would you rank Stroud in terms of quarterbacks?

360
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:14,080
I mean he was he was top of the world

361
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,200
last year and this year. I don't want to say

362
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,159
he regressed because it was still a really good year,

363
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,600
but like, where would you put him if you're ranking quarterbacks?

364
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,480
Still top put us.

365
00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:24,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, put him in somebody that startup a franchise around absolutely, Ok.

366
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:27,559
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's just it's it's tough to

367
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,200
be super critical of him and say sophomore slump because

368
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,000
his numbers were still very good, but they had all

369
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,399
all those issues. When you look around the ANFC South where,

370
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:38,039
I mean, do you still think it's Texans moving forward?

371
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,159
Speaker 10: Me?

372
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:41,559
Speaker 8: Jaguars, We're gonna see what they're gonna do. Titans, I mean,

373
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,519
maybe a quarterback real bad. We'll see what they do

374
00:16:43,559 --> 00:16:45,559
with the top pick. But what do you make of Texas?

375
00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:48,799
Speaker 9: You gotta knock them off? Yeah right, but you know

376
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,440
there's gonna be you know changes. Look, I can't say

377
00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:53,360
because I don't know who the Titan quarterback's gonna be.

378
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,600
Yeah right, I think Liam Khan will do a great job.

379
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,440
I got to know Liam really well because he lived

380
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,000
with McVeigh.

381
00:16:59,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, so.

382
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:02,639
Speaker 7: Sean and I spent a lot of time together.

383
00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:05,839
Speaker 9: Sewan was really one of the first guys in the

384
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,079
league I helped with mental health when I really started

385
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:12,119
opening up about stuff, and then he needed and didn't

386
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,880
realize he knewed that because Sean like the worst thing

387
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,160
that ever happened in Sean's life is that he didn't

388
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,039
win the Super Bowl in his second year ever as

389
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,200
the youngest head coach in the history.

390
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:21,559
Speaker 7: Of the NFL.

391
00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,279
Speaker 9: And then and his parents look like the freaking people

392
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:26,759
you see in pictures and target and the picture frames.

393
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 7: Like he he don't get drama.

394
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 9: So we had to work through a lot and and

395
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,200
it's made him a much much better coach. So like

396
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,400
Liam lived with him, I got to meet, like really

397
00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:37,119
know him.

398
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 7: I think Liam's gonna I think Liam does a really

399
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,079
good job.

400
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:43,559
Speaker 8: The you mentioned mental health. That's one of the big

401
00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:45,319
things that you've been focused on and part of the

402
00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:47,720
reasons why you're here. Let's let us know because it's

403
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,200
funny when were kids growing up, like you would joke, Oh,

404
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,559
he's got ADHD. He can't sit still, he can't pay

405
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:55,720
attention and all this. Now we're way more sensitive to

406
00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:57,119
it and now talk a little bit about it.

407
00:17:58,319 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 7: I'm forties, okay, I'm fifty five.

408
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 9: I got diagnosed in nineteen eighty nine, so there was no, oh,

409
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,400
this guy he has IDOHD, Like no one understood. I

410
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:12,200
got taken to Princeton University to get tested and I

411
00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:16,319
used to have to go tell my teachers, Hey, I

412
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:18,279
got to step out and take a pill, or hey

413
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,440
I need so I go and tell talk to teams

414
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,759
now a lot about this, about what depression feels like,

415
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,119
what anxiety feels like, what ADHD feels like. In ADHD,

416
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,559
I tell these guys, it's like you feel like you're

417
00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:30,519
drawing them. And the only way for me to get

418
00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:33,359
a breath of fresh air is disrupt the class or

419
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,680
to you know, speak out, or to not pay attention,

420
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:39,799
like draw a game on my pad, or just walk

421
00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:40,400
out the class.

422
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 7: And like you think, I want to get trouble every

423
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,759
week in my life. Hell no, but I didn't have

424
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:46,160
the capability not to.

425
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,279
Speaker 9: And I tell these coaches now, I said, these players

426
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,119
like they told me I how to learning, just say disability.

427
00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:53,799
Growing up, I didn't have a learning disability. I just

428
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,319
didn't learn the way you guys taught, right me. I've coached,

429
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,359
you know, tons of guys in mixed martial arts. I

430
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,119
got to teach different I got to coach differently. You

431
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,720
have a general consensus, but I've got to make sure

432
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,880
that you know, I connect with everybody there, and growing

433
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,599
up that wasn't the thing. So with all my mental

434
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:12,880
health struggles. I've tried a million pharmaceuticals, and at least

435
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,640
for the depression and anxiety, none of them work, so

436
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,400
I've had to.

437
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,519
Speaker 7: Find other skills.

438
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 9: But for the ADHD, you know, I could put in

439
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,680
stimulants early, and when you have depression, they'll stimulants. It

440
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,319
does not work well with you and a guy like

441
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,559
me too. It brought out a lot of bad stuff.

442
00:19:28,759 --> 00:19:32,119
And because I'm able to talk about it now, though

443
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:35,480
I have more options than I ever would have had.

444
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:38,359
So Kelbury got brought to me and they're like, it's

445
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,000
non stimulant, non stimulant, like you.

446
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 7: Could take it to night.

447
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 9: I'm like, I could take it at night and it doesn't.

448
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,720
I call it the Kilbury Comet. Calms you down at night.

449
00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:48,480
It gets the roommates in my head to stop, a

450
00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:50,720
million of them to stop talking and all that stuff,

451
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,680
and I'm able to focus and look look on Fox.

452
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,880
I don't use telepromport. So when you got ADHD, and

453
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,960
you know, before I had Kelbury, there's a lot of things.

454
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,359
Your your brain works too fast and you're just like

455
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:06,759
moving it. Now I am able to focus so much better.

456
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,680
But also, like I love talking about it's like, yeah,

457
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:12,039
I'm able to be of service and give it work

458
00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:14,640
to people so we don't feel screwed up. And you know,

459
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:16,960
I try to figure out too where my ADHD and

460
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,720
my depression of anxiety became my superpower and where I

461
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,680
could weaponize them. So if I weaponize them through my advantage,

462
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,640
I'm not ashamed anymore.

463
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 7: And that's why I'm really trying to get people to understand.

464
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 8: To him, well, it's very cool. He is a Jay Glazer.

465
00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:29,519
One more for you, real quick. Just give me a

466
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:31,720
quick thought. Super Bowl, how we I mean the two

467
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,920
best teams? I mean yeah, couldn't ask for anything better.

468
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 5: Man.

469
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 7: I know Patrick mahomes done, but I don't know what

470
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,359
he can't do, so until he starts me. Otherwise, man,

471
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:39,400
I can't go against them.

472
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 8: Jay, thanks so much for the time. I really appreciate all.

473
00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:45,359

00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:11,640
while not home studio in studio in Houston. Edition of

501
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,160
The Matt Thomas Show with Ross Matt Thomas is out

502
00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:17,680
Chris Gordy in New Orleans. Now, Matt was insistent that

503
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,880
you speak in your uh New Orleans vernacular and accent

504
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,440
the entire time you were on today.

505
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 4: Gordy.

506
00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:27,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't really have an accent, so I don't

507
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:30,400
know what I mean. I could. I can make one up,

508
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,559
I can it.

509
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 4: I don't know. He always talks about it.

510
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,759
Speaker 2: He talks about like legendarily, when was the super Bowl

511
00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:37,240
there last time when you guys were there.

512
00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 8: It was a decade ago.

513
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a decade ago at that time.

514
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: Do you know have any idea if a big time

515
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:46,599
like if a band is coming, if is a brass

516
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,160
band coming through the convention Center again.

517
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,759
Speaker 8: But if there is, we will absolutely take a break

518
00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:54,039
and just that on that show.

519
00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 4: Here here's uh Connor's trying to help you along.

520
00:22:58,759 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, some guys last night that they have like

521
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,960
the media party, the welcome party, and you know, the

522
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,720
word baby is thrown around a lot. Yeah, man, it's like,

523
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,000
hey baby, how y'all doing? No?

524
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,799
Speaker 4: I love New Orleans. My god, the New Orleans accent

525
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:13,440
is amazing.

526
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 2: Like, even when I'm losing my acid blackjacket, Caesar's in

527
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:17,680
New Orleans.

528
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 4: As long as the dealer has a New Orleans accent,

529
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,799
I'm having a good time. I don't know what it

530
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,480
is about it.

531
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 8: By the way, it is their pretty big names here.

532
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,480
We just had uh so, Jaylen Miller walked by. Who's

533
00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:32,079
you know? Alabama quarterback expected to be probably a first

534
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,319
round picking this year's draft. Jaden Daniels right behind him,

535
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,599
Jon Daniels. Yeah, former l s U Heisman Trophy winner

536
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,000
and led the Washington Commanders to what was it the

537
00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:47,039
NFC championship game. Yeah, that's correct, So he is here.

538
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,160
Malik Neighbors, another legendary LSU wide.

539
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 4: Resus my guy, All.

540
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's the key. You're in New Orleans.

541
00:23:54,759 --> 00:23:56,039
So it's a lot of it's a lot of.

542
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 4: Is Matt Mock there?

543
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,599
Speaker 8: I've not seen him yet? Have you seen.

544
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,759
Speaker 4: JaMarcus Russell's JaMarcus Russell available?

545
00:24:03,599 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 8: I did see uh. Vitz Wilfork was here earlier. Really

546
00:24:07,559 --> 00:24:09,839
he looked unhappy. He'd looked like he did not want

547
00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:11,519
to be here. So I did not. I was I

548
00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:13,079
was gonna go try to grab him, but I'm like,

549
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,920
he looks angry.

550
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 4: Let me guess he's pimping barbecue rubs.

551
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 8: I'm sure if I had to bet, if I had

552
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,640
to bet some some kind of barbecue or something.

553
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 4: Okay, So I kind of missed it.

554
00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:26,319
Speaker 2: Was Jay Glazer was there to talk about just mental

555
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,160
health in general or was there a certain website or

556
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,599
a product he was talking about.

557
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,319
Speaker 8: Yeah, he talked about the Quelbury I think is k

558
00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:39,440
q u q e l b A b r e E.

559
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 7: I know.

560
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 8: It's kind of interesting though, because we all we all

561
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,119
have kind of have like a friend growing up and

562
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,200
you're like, oh he's got hd ADHD you can't sit still.

563
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,640
And now we're a little bit more sensitive to it.

564
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,119
So it's cool here Jay talk about that.

565
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the and the mental health stuff in general.

566
00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:56,519
Speaker 2: But okay, So, so the biggest name you've seen so

567
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,160
far is who.

568
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 8: I mean, Jane Daniels is pretty big right now.

569
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:06,599
Speaker 4: I would say the names that you listen, it's gotta

570
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:06,960
be ham.

571
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean they The problem is ross. I'm right

572
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,039
in front of the Mike Golic. Okay, go Joe and

573
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:17,359
Golic and then right next to him is Yahoo and

574
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,559
Yahoo has had multiple guys come through. But you know,

575
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,079
it's like when you players, you don't recognize them by face,

576
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,039
you know, because they're wearing helmets. So you're like, I

577
00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:29,279
don't know who that is. I know that's an NFL player,

578
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:30,160
I don't know who that is.

579
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you should ask the guys to all wear

580
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,200
jerseys or just that, you know, just a bigger like

581
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,640
a name tag something. Yeah, that'd be good. You're navigating

582
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,519
the waters out there.

583
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,799
Speaker 8: Everybody has a credential, but the name is printed so tiny.

584
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,119
It's like, okay, just put the last name huge so

585
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,039
you can tell who it is.

586
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to get binoculars out or anything. That

587
00:25:50,039 --> 00:25:52,680
might be kind of rude, that might look a little weird.

588
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 8: We are kind of open the next couple hours. Is

589
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:55,880
there anything you want?

590
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 5: Ross?

591
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 8: Is there anything I can bring as.

592
00:25:57,559 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: Far as a guest? Yeah, Kate Upton? Is she available? Okay,

593
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,400
let's see Dan Marino.

594
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,839
Speaker 8: I've heard he's gonna be here. I have not seen him.

595
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,759
Speaker 2: Is JJ Watt? There is there anybody with a Houston

596
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:17,480
tie down there?

597
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,079
Speaker 8: Well?

598
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,279
Speaker 2: Vince Wilford, but he oh yeah, Vince will for he looked,

599
00:26:21,559 --> 00:26:23,680
he said, he looked angry. You didn't want to approach him.

600
00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:26,440
What do you think he was upset? You think he

601
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,000
hadn't you know, he hadn't need.

602
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:28,799
Speaker 5: An He's a kicker.

603
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 8: It was a kicker. I would have I would have made.

604
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:31,559
Speaker 4: You don't need kickers.

605
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: Although I think Matt was requesting Morton Anderson to recreate

606
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,319
the Morton Anderson Bobby Abert magic that they had ten

607
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,079
years ago on on Radio Row.

608
00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:41,839
Speaker 8: We should have dug that up and played that as

609
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:43,799
a tribute that that that still is one of the

610
00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:45,960
greatest moments in Radio Row history on seven ninety.

611
00:26:46,079 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: I didn't I don't even remember that. I think I

612
00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:49,880
was off that day or something like that.

613
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 8: It was Bobby aber was scheduled, and I think Morton

614
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,759
Anderson was supposed to be after him, but he got

615
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,160
there early. Yeah, so they just put him on with him,

616
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,319
and then they just told old stories of Bobby doing interview,

617
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,519
sitting button naked on the a on a metal bench

618
00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:06,240
in the locker room, letting his junk hang out, and

619
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,640
then they started making fun of Matt's socks, and then

620
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,880
it was just a ripping on Matt Thomas for ten minutes.

621
00:27:12,599 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds great. Actually, that does sound spectacular. Maybe

622
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,519
we try to dig that up and find it from

623
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:20,640
the archives and replay that one, cause that sounds like

624
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,440
a lot of fun, you know, because Matt always tries

625
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,319
to make fun of these Radio Row interviews, but I

626
00:27:24,759 --> 00:27:26,880
like having them. I thought Jay Glazer was great.

627
00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well that's the thing of us, of me being

628
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,000
here and you being there, so we can be more selective,

629
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:34,720
like sometimes you have to be dude some of the

630
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,440
crap we've gotten offered and not read some of it

631
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:36,920
the other day.

632
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 4: Okay, those guys are people too.

633
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:42,279
Speaker 8: And I'm I'm I'm slowly getting into the area where

634
00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:43,839
I'm not gonna be nice about it anymore. I'm just

635
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,079
gonna go no, thank you.

636
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:45,839
Speaker 7: Hmm.

637
00:27:46,759 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, you'd try to be nice to go. Oh, we'll

638
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:49,079
see what we can do.

639
00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:52,319
Speaker 2: But you're a Marden Radio Row vet. Now at this point,

640
00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:55,240
I have another question. We used to always see the

641
00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:57,759
same like five PR guys down there every year. Is

642
00:27:57,759 --> 00:27:59,799
it's still the same PR people. You recognize a lot

643
00:27:59,839 --> 00:28:04,759
of him from years past exactly. Yep, that's good. You

644
00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:07,400
can build a relationship with him. There's a squirrely guy

645
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,160
with the floppy hair. Is he there still too?

646
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 8: I think so? Yeah?

647
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 4: Oh wow, good for him. I guess I'm glad they're

648
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:18,640
they're staying uh, they're staying employed down there in New

649
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:20,880
Orleans at Radio Row, getting their free trip to the

650
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,119
super Bowl every single year.

651
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 8: It's crazy. I mean, you got like the sets with

652
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,440
the big setups. I'm looking at so we have iHeart

653
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,319
has a huge setup with Fox Sports Radio. But when

654
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,119
I went over there, they acted like they didn't know me.

655
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,440
But they've got they've got a huge setup. Pro Football

656
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Talk with Fourio fan Duel has a massive setup. Serious

657
00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:43,440
XM Yahoo. I mean, it's it's all around the room here.

658
00:28:43,519 --> 00:28:44,839

706
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 8: I was meeting here, Heyts with his legendary agent, is

707
00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:56,720
sharing a table with us, and I'm just telling him

708
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:02,160
what a great guy is. Okay, dude, come jimp on

709
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,079

So we'll get Stu Gotts on with us.

711
00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 4: Oh you could have got five minutes. They brushed you off, Houston. Yeah,

712
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,359
the folks you're listening, you're listening live to a brush off.

713
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 8: Yeah. I want to I want to tell him about

714
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,079
Remember for years, Ross, we used to get tweets at

715
00:31:22,119 --> 00:31:25,559
seven ninety on Twitter and they'd be like, tell Stu

716
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,319
Gotts to shut up and all this. It was the

717
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:30,799
Miami station, Yes, so like it was just funny. People

718
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:33,240
would always confuse us. They'd be like, the Dolphins need

719
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:36,960
to sign this guy and all that, and I was like, who, what,

720
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,839
why is Matt talking about the Dolphins? And then you realize, Oh,

721
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,480
they're tweeting at the Miami station.

722
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 4: So oh well, I'm sorry.

723
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: I was just reading we have a well, okay, it's

724
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,519
a very minor Rockets trade has been made, according to

725
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:55,880
Sham Sharania, but we got the Boston Celtics are trading

726
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,400
at Jaden Springer and their twenty thirty second round pick

727
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,880
to the Houston Both teams are also exchanging heavily protected

728
00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:07,759
second rounders. I'm gonna be honest, I gotta look up

729
00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:11,279
Chayden Springer's stats. I don't think he's been playing much

730
00:32:11,279 --> 00:32:16,039
for the Boston Celtics, and no he is not. He's

731
00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:19,000
averaging one point seven points per game in twenty six games.

732
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:20,039
No starts.

733
00:32:20,119 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 8: That's so what what's the motivation behind this tie?

734
00:32:23,799 --> 00:32:25,839
Speaker 2: Is that some sort of accumulation of picks or some

735
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,960
kind of I don't know if it's like getting on

736
00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:30,279
a I don't know if it's salary cap implications or

737
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:33,880
something like that. I'm gonna guess it's something that related.

738
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,279
Unless Jaden Springer has been lying in wait to dominate

739
00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:41,759
for the Houston Rockets.

740
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 8: Well, I can tell you this. As a college player,

741
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,519
he was very good played at Tennessee SEC.

742
00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: Guy, first round pick in twenty twenty one, twenty eighth overall.

743
00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 7: Uh.

744
00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:55,319
Speaker 2: He's played ninety three games in four years in the NBA.

745
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,039
He's started four games in four years in the NBA,

746
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:03,039
averaging two point seven points three point percentage of two fifty.

747
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just I remember him in college. He was

748
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,119
a good score. I mean, he had a ton of

749
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,119
twenty point games. But yeah, hasn't really translated much to

750
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:15,799
the NBA. Like you said, three spent three years of Philly,

751
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:19,839
two years in Boston. But Celtics trading James Prayer and

752
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,640
a twenty thirty second round pick to the Rockets. What

753
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,119
do you think the Rockets are giving up?

754
00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: Probably second round picks. It says both teams aren't exchanging

755
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,599
heavily protected second rounders. So yeah, this has got to

756
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,279
be some kind of workaround for the CBA or the

757
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,400
luxury tax or something.

758
00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:38,519
Speaker 8: Yeah.

759
00:33:38,519 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 4: I don't think there's much else going on in this

760
00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:42,359
and maybe I mean.

761
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,319
Speaker 8: Like they're gonna you stash him in Rio grand, right,

762
00:33:45,359 --> 00:33:47,799
you're not gonna put him again.

763
00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:50,599
Speaker 2: It depends on what kind of contract he's on, if

764
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,079
you can even send him down there.

765
00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 4: I don't know.

766
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:58,799
Speaker 8: That's interesting. And he was He's only spent the last

767
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:01,160
two years in Boston. It's not like he was there.

768
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 4: With Yeah, that's right, he was right.

769
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: He was a phill Sorry, drafted by Philadelphia and then

770
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,920
with Boston the last couple of years hasn't really provided

771
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,599
much of anything.

772
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 4: Okay, I think we can close the book on that.

773
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,960
What were you talking about before, Gordon?

774
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, what's the trade deadline?

775
00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:22,079
Speaker 4: February sixth tomorrow. I don't know the exact time.

776
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:28,639
Speaker 8: It's like afternoon, yeah, more afternoon. So do the Rockets

777
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:29,679
need to make a big move?

778
00:34:30,119 --> 00:34:32,679
Speaker 4: I would say big move. No, I'm still not panic.

779
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,679
Speaker 2: There was somebody asking me if this is like the

780
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,280
Rockets regressing to the mean. I don't think so. I

781
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,320
I so, first of all, they've been competitive in these games.

782
00:34:39,519 --> 00:34:41,719
Should have beat the Brooklyn Nets very well, could have

783
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,599
beat the Knicks on the road without. I mean, if

784
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:46,679
it depends on if you want to call Jabarisimith Junior

785
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,320
a starter at the very least, if not three starters,

786
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,800
three rotational players, and missing Fred van Vliet is huge.

787
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,480
He gets them into offensive sets. He's a calming force

788
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:59,519
in those clutch time situations. So not having him for

789
00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:02,360
a couple of games over this stretch, not having Shingoon

790
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,960
for three games and then it kind of took them

791
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,440
a whole half to get warmed up. You're in the

792
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,360
middle of a game of a stretch of fourteen games

793
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,000
out of eighteen on the road, with a not a

794
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:15,920
lot of days off in between. I do expect the

795
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,719
Rockets maybe to lose another one or two before they

796
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,559
hit the All Star break. There's five games left, because

797
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,159
it's just been it's the you know, we talk about

798
00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:26,360
the dog days of summer in the NBA, I mean

799
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:27,920
in the Major League Baseball.

800
00:35:28,199 --> 00:35:30,199
Speaker 4: It's like that in the NBA.

801
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 2: It's the dog days of winter, right before that All

802
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,519
Star break where they pack in as many games as

803
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:38,119
they possibly can so they can get them that week

804
00:35:38,159 --> 00:35:41,639
plus off. I'm not super worried about the Rockets. I

805
00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:45,239
would say still don't rock the boat, stay the course,

806
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,280
no big major moves necessary, although some people are backing

807
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,239
off of that after this stretch of four straight losses.

808
00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:56,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, it's I don't know. Man, these next two games,

809
00:35:56,599 --> 00:35:58,639
you gotta go to Minnesota, you gotta go to Dallas.

810
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,239
We'll get to see Anthony Davis, by the way as

811
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,800
a new Dallas Maverick on Saturday.

812
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 2: But it feels like, is he gonna be active? He's

813
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,519
got the abdomen issue.

814
00:36:08,039 --> 00:36:11,519
Speaker 8: I saw that. Isn't that funny? He's hurt, play shocking,

815
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:14,639
he's his whole career and gets in this massive trade

816
00:36:14,679 --> 00:36:16,280
and then suddenly it's like, oh, he's.

817
00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:18,039
Speaker 4: Hurt, Yeah, he's hurt. Well, I saw it is Luka

818
00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:23,239
doncic I guess. I wonder. I wonder if the the Mavericks.

819
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:28,159
Speaker 2: It's interesting in these types of situations where you kind

820
00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:29,639
of need if you get in a run. And I'm

821
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:31,679
not saying Luka Donchets is, but it seems to me

822
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,840
that the MAVs were very They.

823
00:36:34,599 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 4: Hit their limit with with Luka Danchets.

824
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: That's the only reason you trade a twenty five year

825
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,239
old who's a dynamic score and one of the great

826
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,920
playmakers in the league and in the history of the league.

827
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,360
He's already seventh in triple doubles all time, all time.

828
00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:49,880
So for them to do that, I wonder if that

829
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000
kind of is going to awaken in Luka Doncic what

830
00:36:53,159 --> 00:36:57,199
he needed. It's like sometimes to grow up, you gotta have,

831
00:36:57,599 --> 00:36:59,480
you gotta have kind of some adversity. You gotta have

832
00:36:59,519 --> 00:37:02,039
things now go your way, and that wakes you up.

833
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:03,960
And it never maybe would have happened with the MAVs.

834
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,480
And now he's just gonna unleash the beast with the

835
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:08,760
Lakers for like the next ten plus years.

836
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, I still I kick it over that trade. That's

837
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,480
absolutely atrocious.

838
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, not in not talking to any other organization is stupid.

839
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:23,159
Speaker 8: That's insane. Like anybody knows you. Okay, you want to

840
00:37:23,159 --> 00:37:26,440
trade a generational talent, that's one thing, but open up

841
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,920
the market, start up, start a war. He's available, what

842
00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:33,280
you got, you don't just go While we came in

843
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,760
agreement with the Lakers and other execs coming up, we

844
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,199
didn't know he was available. We have been giving up

845
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:38,920
a king's ransom.

846
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:44,119
Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert got four first round picks. Rudy gobertet in

847
00:37:44,199 --> 00:37:48,159
four first round picks. Luka Doncics gets you one, and

848
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,440
Anthony Davis.

849
00:37:50,679 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 4: That's nuts, insane, absolutely insane that they've done that. And

850
00:37:58,039 --> 00:37:59,639
then now there's.

851
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 8: Many the by the way, So they're in Minnesota Thursday.

852
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,519
Minnesota does play back to back. They'll play the Bulls

853
00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:08,159
tonight and then they'll play the Rockets. Smart that's good.

854
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,920
Rockets kinda find a way to win that one.

855
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 4: Man, Yeah, I would hope.

856
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,519
Speaker 2: So some people were calling it a must win game

857
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,119
last night against the Brooklyn Nets, and well they didn't win.

858
00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:22,360
Season goes on for the Rockets and they're still in

859
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,679
a three spot. But you've got the Denver Nuggets coming

860
00:38:25,679 --> 00:38:29,559
on strong. I just want top four, but really like

861
00:38:29,639 --> 00:38:32,280
two or three. So if you do win your first

862
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,480
playoff series, you can avoid the thunder at all costs.

863
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,119
Speaker 8: Well, they were in such a good run, right, I mean,

864
00:38:38,119 --> 00:38:40,360
you were holding on that two spot. You're like, all right,

865
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,400
this is and you knew they weren't going to catch

866
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,400
the thunder, but you were like, all right, they aren't

867
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,920
going to be in the two seed. This is legit.

868
00:38:46,559 --> 00:38:49,719
And then suddenly you stut to get their four four

869
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,960
straight losses and now suddenly this thing is waning.

870
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:54,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've had a man with the calf issue, You've

871
00:38:54,119 --> 00:38:57,039
had Fred Vanvleie with his issues, You've had I think

872
00:38:57,079 --> 00:38:59,840
it was a calf as for albrynching Goon as well.

873
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:01,920
I think these guys are just getting tired and road weary.

874
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,519
It's that time of year. You're fifty games into the

875
00:39:04,599 --> 00:39:09,760
year now, so I mean it's it's a grueling stretch.

876
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,000
Let's get to the All Star break, baby.

877
00:39:12,159 --> 00:39:13,639
Speaker 4: Let's try to win like three or four of these

878
00:39:13,679 --> 00:39:15,599
last five games and get to the All Star Break.

879
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 8: Yep. Yeah, and Matt will be what They're traveling to

00:41:59,159 --> 00:42:02,039
Adam Clinton. I think we were well represented.

944
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:02,119
Speaker 4: By the way.

945
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:03,679
Speaker 2: Did you make it in a tight five hours? How

946
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,519
was it the traffic on iten driving out to New Orleans?

947
00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:07,679
Speaker 8: You did? It wasn't bad?

948
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 4: Oh wow.

949
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,639
Speaker 2: Usually there's like seven recks on the way in or

950
00:42:10,679 --> 00:42:11,239
the way back.

951
00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 8: Well, there was one in Baytown trying to get.

952
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 4: Oh, of course.

953
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:21,519
Speaker 2: But it's either Baytown or Beaumont or somewhere like vider Sulfur.

954
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,199
There's always going to be a rex somewhere on the

955
00:42:23,199 --> 00:42:25,679
way out to New Orleans. It feels like but anyways,

956
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:26,480
but but.

957
00:42:26,519 --> 00:42:28,599
Speaker 8: No, it's it's always a fun event because it marks

958
00:42:28,639 --> 00:42:30,920
kind of like the unofficial start of the season for

959
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,800
the Astros when they have their big luncheon to announce

960
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,199
here's our marketing campaign, here's all our promotional giveaways. We're

961
00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:39,119
going to half of the year. And then you know

962
00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:43,079
GM and manager speak, you know, all right, we are underway.

963
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 5: Yeah.

964
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,199
Speaker 2: A couple interesting things from Dana Brown. Let's go ahead

965
00:42:46,199 --> 00:42:49,280
and start with him now. If he starts off talking

966
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,760
about how the door isn't closed with Alex Bregman, but

967
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,280
then he continues to say Gordy, and he said this

968
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,000
over and over, so I think we all need to

969
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:57,360
move on.

970
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:58,039
Speaker 4: With our lives.

971
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: No new dialogue between Boris and Brown.

972
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,119
Speaker 13: No, I have not talked to Boris recently, but we

973
00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:10,599
are still having conversations internally.

974
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,519
Speaker 7: And then I'll leave it at down.

975
00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 2: So basically he's just like, look internally means he's talking

976
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:18,480
to Jim Crane.

977
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 4: Jim Crane, do you want to up the offer? No? Okay,

978
00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:23,119
well we're not gonna up the offer and they're not

979
00:43:23,079 --> 00:43:25,719
gonna accept that offer. So let's move on with our lives.

980
00:43:27,159 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just I don't know, man. I thought the

981
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,159
writing was on the wall when they when they traded

982
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,760
Kyle Tucker and they got back east Ock Paratus, who

983
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,559
we know is an infielder, and then they signed Christian

984
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:39,840
Walker as in everyday first basement. I was like, that's it,

985
00:43:40,679 --> 00:43:42,960
Like this whole thing of Altuve move into the outfit.

986
00:43:43,039 --> 00:43:46,320
They'll they'll, they'll play him someone else in left field,

987
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,840
but I think he's still gonna primarily be the second basement.

988
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,320
Like so this whole thing of oh, the door is

989
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,960
still open. The door's only opened because he hasn't signed

990
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,400
anywhere yet. But from all the comments Dana Brown has made,

991
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,639
if not felt like they have any interest. I think

992
00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:02,639
the only way the astros would say we have interest

993
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,039
is if they called and said, hey, Alex didn't have

994
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:08,800
any takers, so he'll just he'll resign for one year.

995
00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:11,480
Like I think that's a situation where they go, oh yeah, sure.

996
00:44:12,079 --> 00:44:15,719
But barring Jim Crane waking up one day and going hell, yeah,

997
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,039
let's go get Bregman, whatever it takes, they're not listen

998
00:44:19,079 --> 00:44:20,840
to Data's quotes. They're not interested.

999
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:23,079
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem like they are, or it seems like

1000
00:44:23,119 --> 00:44:25,920
maybe it's Dana Brown that is not interested. And when

1001
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,360
he says internal conversations, maybe that he is trying to

1002
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,000
signal to us without saying And then Jim Crane's kind

1003
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,639
of interested, but it's also going to take a lot

1004
00:44:32,639 --> 00:44:34,239
of money, so the interest level is low.

1005
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 8: I think that's him just saying that though, Like because

1006
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,079
notice what he's saying. He's not saying that they have

1007
00:44:40,199 --> 00:44:44,679
interest elsewhere like in other words, he's he's not saying

1008
00:44:44,679 --> 00:44:47,719
that they've talked to the agent or talked to Bregman.

1009
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,519
He keeps saying we're having internal conversations. All that means

1010
00:44:50,559 --> 00:44:52,800
is they're sitting around the offices going, hey, you see

1011
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,679
Bregman's still out there. Yeah, I saw that. That's probably

1012
00:44:55,679 --> 00:44:57,320
the extent of the internal conversation.

1013
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,639
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it just doesn't seem like there's much action there.

1014
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,320
There have been a lot of people talking about the Cubs.

1015
00:45:05,519 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 4: Now.

1016
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 2: See, I'm trying to find it. This is a problem

1017
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,159
into the state of today's Twitter. I saw it somewhere

1018
00:45:11,159 --> 00:45:13,199
and I'm trying to verify that the Cubs might be

1019
00:45:13,639 --> 00:45:15,679
interested on doing this like a short year deal with

1020
00:45:16,199 --> 00:45:19,400
a short term deal with opt outs for Alex Bregman,

1021
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,480
which I don't think he wants.

1022
00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was nobody reputable yesterday reports. Okay, at least

1023
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,320
what I could see it was it was like, you know,

1024
00:45:27,559 --> 00:45:30,360
a couple of bloggers, you know, people with like ten

1025
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,239
thousand followers, Like, all right, maybe there's something there, but yeah,

1026
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,679
that's it. It was put out there that the Cubs

1027
00:45:37,679 --> 00:45:41,679
are at least exploring the idea of, hey, bregmant, how

1028
00:45:41,679 --> 00:45:44,639
about a a multi year deal but with opt outs

1029
00:45:44,639 --> 00:45:46,880
where you can get it like here's one hundred million,

1030
00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:49,119
but you could opt out after a year or two

1031
00:45:49,199 --> 00:45:49,679
or whatever.

1032
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, just ridiculous with this. We're trying to find reliable

1033
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,119
information on Twitter, don't even get me started. But anyways,

1034
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,440
Dana Brown also went on to say that now we

1035
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,400
had heard that they were in on Jorge Polanco and

1036
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,199
they were maybe going to turn attention to Bregmant and

1037
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,440
or others now, but Dana Brown not ruling out another move.

1038
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 4: Being made for the Houston Astros.

1039
00:46:11,199 --> 00:46:13,039
Speaker 13: Oh, we're trying to get a left hand bat for

1040
00:46:13,159 --> 00:46:16,679
the outfield. You know, all of the most of the

1041
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,079
options to slim the nun. But we're still working, ouch

1042
00:46:20,199 --> 00:46:23,440
and grinding, you know, to get some left handed at

1043
00:46:23,519 --> 00:46:25,199
bats in our outfield.

1044
00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 2: How does Jason Hayward feel saying here are the options

1045
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,679
are are something to none. He's available, he's left handed,

1046
00:46:32,159 --> 00:46:33,119
he was here last year.

1047
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 8: I don't get why that hasn't been done already. Like

1048
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,760
what what does it hurt? Because I know they they

1049
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,159
they like Taylor Tremmell and they're gonna give him a chance.

1050
00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:44,719
But to me, you've got five million left under the

1051
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,199
cap or you know, the luger a tacks like why

1052
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,320
not just why not just call Hayward and say let's

1053
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:51,960
get this done.

1054
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he wants a little bit more than that,

1055
00:46:54,159 --> 00:46:55,440
but I don't know if he's gonna get it. This

1056
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,360
late in the game, Alex Verdugo, another left handed outfielder

1057
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,639
that a name has kind of been thrown out there,

1058
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,599
so I don't know.

1059
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 8: Well, real quick, Ross, Let's get let's get somebody who

1060
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,840
would know all about the Alex Pregman stuff. Let's get

1061
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,119
an Alex Pregman update from our buddy Ari Alexander KPRC

1062
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,920
channel too, He joins us. Now, all right, what's up, Hey,

1063
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,760
what's going on? Chris?

1064
00:47:16,039 --> 00:47:18,039
Speaker 14: Yeah, there hasn't been much of updates within the past

1065
00:47:18,119 --> 00:47:19,800
few days. It feels like he's sort of in the

1066
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,239
bunker trying to decide between what he has. But right now,

1067
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:23,800
the way that I'm thinking about it, and just from

1068
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,320
the people that I've talked to over the past couple

1069
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,480
of weeks, is there are three sections of teams for

1070
00:47:28,519 --> 00:47:31,440
Alex Pregman. Of the five total teams that are in

1071
00:47:31,519 --> 00:47:34,280
on Alex Pregman, the first section are the teams that

1072
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,079
are going to be giving him long term offers that

1073
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,920
I think are gonna have to do a little extra

1074
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,920
to get him. That's Toronto, that's Detroit. The second section

1075
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,239
has just one team in it. That's the Astros and

1076
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,239
whatever it is that's gonna happen with them, the six

1077
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,880
to one to fifty six offer that I just do

1078
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,440
not believe that he's going to take. If the Astros,

1079
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,639
and it's sounding more and more unlikely, are going to

1080
00:47:51,639 --> 00:47:54,039
get Alex Pregman, they're gonna have to up their offer.

1081
00:47:54,119 --> 00:47:56,000
Doesn't feel like they want to and doesn't feel like

1082
00:47:56,079 --> 00:47:58,079
Alex wants to take the six one fifty six. The

1083
00:47:58,159 --> 00:48:01,679
third section of teams is the Cubs and the Red Sox,

1084
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,559
two teams that it feels like they're going for a

1085
00:48:04,639 --> 00:48:08,000
shorter term, opt outs type of offers to Alex Bregman,

1086
00:48:08,039 --> 00:48:11,840
a little higher AAV and those are teams that I

1087
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,000
don't think would have to do the extra the way

1088
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:17,639
the Blue Jays and the way the Tigers might have

1089
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,360
to do to get him. Those are teams that I

1090
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,119
believe he would have liked to play for if the

1091
00:48:21,199 --> 00:48:24,119
money is right, if the situation is right. However, the

1092
00:48:24,159 --> 00:48:26,039
Red Sox create a problem because he's gonna have to

1093
00:48:26,039 --> 00:48:29,119
play second base, at least initially. Rafael Devers, from what

1094
00:48:29,159 --> 00:48:32,119
I've been told all off season, is not moving off

1095
00:48:32,199 --> 00:48:35,760
third base. So those are your three parts of where

1096
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,519
Alex Bregman could go. But as of right now there's

1097
00:48:38,599 --> 00:48:42,679
no decision made. He has five potential places he could

1098
00:48:42,679 --> 00:48:45,239
still go. And I know everyone's upset how long this

1099
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,480
has been dragging on, and I'm sure that he's not

1100
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:50,119
loving how long he doesn't have a specific plan of

1101
00:48:50,119 --> 00:48:51,519
what he needs to do in spring training.

1102
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 8: But that's where we're at right now. How about that?

1103
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:58,039
Ross and Impromptu are all drop in in the middle, in.

1104
00:48:58,039 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: The middle of us talking about Alex Bregman indipitous.

1105
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,519
Speaker 8: He was just walking bys and you know who would

1106
00:49:03,559 --> 00:49:05,320
know the latest on this? Uh?

1107
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: Is?

1108
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 4: There is there any product you want to pimp now?

1109
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,880
Ari any any sort of uh oh man, we q

1110
00:49:11,159 --> 00:49:11,840
robs or.

1111
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, any kind of I don't know, a new kind

1112
00:49:14,119 --> 00:49:17,039
of sunscreen or some kind of website. Will never use

1113
00:49:17,559 --> 00:49:19,639
one eight hundred flowers or something.

1114
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1115
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 14: But if anyone wants to send me like high Choose

1116
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:24,679
to my house, you're welcome to.

1117
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 8: I love High Choose a candy Japanese candy.

1118
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,159
Speaker 4: Underrated High Choose.

1119
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,079
Speaker 8: I feel extremely underrated. I'd rather like Big Lead Chew

1120
00:49:35,159 --> 00:49:36,360
or something big Lead Chew.

1121
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:37,159
Speaker 4: What are you six?

1122
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,159
Speaker 8: That's a totally different classic candy.

1123
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 4: You're completely different.

1124
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 8: You're looking for something sweet I love that love. I

1125
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,599
love Alridy just dropping in giving us stuff.

1126
00:49:47,679 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 2: All right, are you one more question then? What we

1127
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,519
were also talking about other moves. If it feels like

1128
00:49:51,559 --> 00:49:53,639
the Astros are out on Bregman just from a week

1129
00:49:53,679 --> 00:49:55,880
and tell uh, do you think they'll be making a

1130
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,840
move as far as an outfielder is what they've been

1131
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:58,840
also been talking.

1132
00:49:58,559 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 4: About, I think have to.

1133
00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 14: The problem is that just there there isn't much on

1134
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,960
the market. And I've been sort of saying this for weeks,

1135
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,039
and then Dana Brown kind of said the same thing

1136
00:50:07,079 --> 00:50:09,360
that I've been saying for a while, which is like, yeah,

1137
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,440
we'd love to get a left handed outfielder, but who

1138
00:50:11,639 --> 00:50:14,000
who are you gonna get? Alex Ferdugo and David Peralta

1139
00:50:14,079 --> 00:50:15,679
are the two names that I can come up with

1140
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,599
that are left on the market. How excited are you

1141
00:50:18,679 --> 00:50:21,639
about alex Erdugo or David Peralta, Like, realistically, you know

1142
00:50:21,679 --> 00:50:23,840
what I mean for Dugo's coming off a down year

1143
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,599
in a stadium that he should be able to hit

1144
00:50:25,639 --> 00:50:29,559
bombs at. Paralta is aging was a solid player for

1145
00:50:29,599 --> 00:50:31,800
a long long time, and I just don't think that's

1146
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,800
a guy that moves the meter. The other one that

1147
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,000
has made sense to me all off season, and I've

1148
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,880
been told there is just no connection there, at least

1149
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,000
at the moment. Maybe they circle back eventually. Is Jason Hayward.

1150
00:50:42,039 --> 00:50:45,559
You brought him in last year, great clubhouse guy, veteran

1151
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,960
left handed bat, can play adequate right field and left field,

1152
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,119
which is what you need. And there just hasn't been

1153
00:50:52,159 --> 00:50:55,000
any conversation there. And one big right handed bat who

1154
00:50:55,079 --> 00:50:56,840
made plenty of sense for the Astros is off the

1155
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,840
board now, Randall Gritchick, well Mark, consolidated high school guy,

1156
00:51:00,119 --> 00:51:03,239
was once drafted above Mike Trout one year, five million

1157
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,559
dollar deal with the Diamondbacks that happened yesterday.

1158
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:07,079
Speaker 8: He's a guy that I thought fit.

1159
00:51:07,199 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 14: But I believe that Dana Brown is heavily looking for

1160
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:11,639
a left handed bat.

1161
00:51:11,519 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 8: And there just isn't anything out there. Yeah, that's it's

1162
00:51:16,519 --> 00:51:18,880
it's fascinating. I almost wonder if it's down to like,

1163
00:51:19,199 --> 00:51:22,039
you know, they're trying to get Hayward back, but they're like,

1164
00:51:22,119 --> 00:51:23,840
we'll give them two mill, and they're like, we want

1165
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,400
four mill, and they're just waiting it out, like you know, like.

1166
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 14: There's just been no conversation with Hayward specifically, from what

1167
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,599
I'm told, I've checked on like once a week. I'm like, Hey,

1168
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,159
Jason Haywar, are they bringing him back? And Nope, nothing.

1169
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,199
So he's a guy that again it makes sense, and

1170
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:42,400
what you're postulating makes sense, and it just isn't happening.

1171
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,800
And the only two guys I can think of that

1172
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:46,960
makes sense right now, or if we're Dugo and Paralta,

1173
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,320
Node's excited about them. They were in on Jerks and

1174
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,840
Profar from what I'm told, But the Braves three year,

1175
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,519
forty two million dollar deal got him. They would have

1176
00:51:54,519 --> 00:51:56,719
had to go above the tax for him, even after

1177
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,440
clearing out whatever they cleared out of Ryan Presley's salary.

1178
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 8: They eight and a half million that they saved on

1179
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,199
Ryan Presley. I don't believe that Jim Crane is going

1180
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,079
to go into the tax for a Jerks and Profar.

1181
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,920
He will for an Alex Bregman, but Jerks and PROFI

1182
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,800
I don't think moves the meter to make this team

1183
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,679
better enough for Jim Crane to say, you know what,

1184
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,480
I'm gonna pay the thirty percent repeater tax instead of

1185
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,679
the twenty percent tax like they paid last year for

1186
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,280
Jerks and Profar and the Braves are are the ones

1187
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,079
that have him anyway. Now, well, Ross, get ready for

1188
00:52:23,199 --> 00:52:26,360
plenty of Jake Myers fan clubs. Let's go, baby, He's

1189
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:27,440
gonna play like every game.

1190
00:52:28,039 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 4: Well he did last year and that wasn't great by the.

1191
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 8: End of play every game last year.

1192
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 4: All right, Ari, thanks for the time.

1193
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna let you lose. I gotta get to a

1194
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,760
break here. I appreciate you, Thank you. There you go, Ari,

1212
00:53:33,039 --> 00:53:34,079
schmoozing out there.

1213
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 8: Who was that that spot we just ran that iHeart spot?

1214
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:39,920
Was that Greg Rosenthal who was like, I'm gonna be

1215
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,079

1216
00:53:43,119 --> 00:53:44,800
got you covered right here on the Matt Thomas Show.

1217
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all week here at the Matt Thomas Show

1218
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:48,239
on all of our stations.

1219
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 4: Who'd you guys? I heard Bernie Cozar on the way in.

1220
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:53,360
What else you guys got going on on the Sean

1221
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:54,199
Salisbury Show.

1222
00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 8: Well, we had Clay Matthews yesterday with Sean and then

1223
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,639
Bernie Cozar today, So I think I think tomorrow we've

1224
00:54:02,639 --> 00:54:08,320
got Shawn's got EMMITTT Smith and former Cowboys great Darryl Johnston.

1225
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 2: Wow, Moose and Emmitt I think are back to back, right, Yeah,

1226
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,639
shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't Moose Johnson

1227
00:54:14,639 --> 00:54:16,199
be leading the way for emmittt?

1228
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 8: It's true, I didn't think of that. We should have

1229
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:20,039
just done him together.

1230
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably that's true. You probably could have got some

1231
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:24,119
good stories, all right. So that's coming up. And then

1232
00:54:24,159 --> 00:54:27,639
later on today we have CHRISA. Thompson and Jalen Ford

1233
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,480
and have we spotted stew Gotts.

1234
00:54:30,679 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 8: Not yet, We're routting him down.

1235
00:54:33,519 --> 00:54:35,519
Speaker 4: I mean, he's so busy. I mean, he's so busy.

1236
00:54:35,559 --> 00:54:36,199
It's fine.

1237
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 2: I mean he just probably flew in from the Grammys

1238
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,480
and then he's you know, good goodness knows what else

1239
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,719
he's been up to lately. Now in radio row, New Orleans,

1240
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:44,880
where Chris Cordy.

1241
00:54:44,599 --> 00:54:47,119
Speaker 8: Is, Oh, let's see behind us right now, we've got

1242
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,440
Malcolm Jenkins just walked by Philly and Saints great and

1243
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:55,159
now Patrick Peterson another LSU legend, gues legend in.

1244
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess in New Orleans. It's probably a lot

1245
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,559
of them live in the area. Although Patrick Peters is

1246
00:55:01,679 --> 00:55:02,719
not playing anymore.

1247
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 8: Right, I think he's retired, right.

1248
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 2: I think so too. I'm gonna say yes without even

1249
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,039
really knowing for sure. I'm looking it up. Uh, Steelers

1250
00:55:12,039 --> 00:55:13,679
in twenty three and that was it. Yeah, so he

1251
00:55:13,679 --> 00:55:16,840
hadn't played in the couple. Eight time pro bowler. Patrick

1252
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:21,760
Peterson stud absolute absolute stud and I believe a Thorpe

1253
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:22,280
Ward winner.

1254
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:27,199
Speaker 4: Correct, I'm looking it up. Yes, yes he did.

1255
00:55:28,159 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 8: And now Derek Stingley following in his footsteps with the

1256
00:55:31,559 --> 00:55:35,000
chance to you know, perhaps repeat that.

1257
00:55:36,199 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 2: Uh No, Stingley didn't win a Thorpe. What thorper ward

1258
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,360
is for the is for college.

1259
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 8: No, I was I met time Pro bowler.

1260
00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:47,039
Speaker 2: Oh, eight time Pro Bowl. I'm sorry thought were talking

1261
00:55:47,039 --> 00:55:49,199
about the Thorpe. Yeah, yes, Derek Sidley first the first

1262
00:55:49,199 --> 00:55:51,880
team All Pro. That's a good start, all right. You

1263
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,280
know what we were talking with Ari in the last

1264
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:54,960
segment about the outfield stuff.

1265
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 4: That's kind of what I want to talk about.

1266
00:55:57,199 --> 00:55:59,559
Speaker 2: I mean, are they gonna do something or are they

1267
00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:01,719
just gonna, you know what, We're gonna hang tight. Maybe

1268
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,199
Jacob Melton's gonna be ready, maybe a little bit of

1269
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:07,480
Zach Dezenzo and left field as well, and then and

1270
00:56:07,559 --> 00:56:09,079
just go with the guys, en roll with the guys

1271
00:56:09,119 --> 00:56:10,760
they have, and stay under the tax.

1272
00:56:12,559 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 8: I don't know many. This feels like if you were

1273
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,280
gonna bring in a Hayward or somebody like that. I mean,

1274
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,239
what is it next Thursday pictures and Catchers report?

1275
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,639
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think this is my guess.

1276
00:56:25,679 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 2: They're guessing that that they're either a bounce back a

1277
00:56:28,559 --> 00:56:33,000
year from Chas McCormick, b Jacob Melton is ready within

1278
00:56:33,039 --> 00:56:35,480
a month or two of the season and can can

1279
00:56:35,519 --> 00:56:39,559
prop perhaps produce or see Zach Dezenzo can get you something.

1280
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,119
They're hoping one of those three workout, if not multiple.

1281
00:56:42,599 --> 00:56:43,480
What do you think about that?

1282
00:56:44,679 --> 00:56:49,079
Speaker 8: Yeah? I think I think they should they The problem

1283
00:56:49,199 --> 00:56:51,559
is again like if you if you haven't brought somebody

1284
00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:55,440
in yet, then I don't. I just to me, man,

1285
00:56:55,519 --> 00:56:58,760
it's it's they must really be high on Taylor Tromel

1286
00:56:59,039 --> 00:56:59,960
and something is they.

1287
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 5: I just.

1288
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,199
Speaker 8: What happens if Meyers or McCormick gets hurt for any

1289
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,159
stretch of time. I mean, then you're leaning on the

1290
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,599
You're leaning on the young guys like Jacob Melton has

1291
00:57:11,639 --> 00:57:14,719
to come up and play like it's they put themselves

1292
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,800
in a buy in here, like the fact that traded

1293
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,119
to Kyle Tucker didn't have an obvious like pivot.

1294
00:57:20,199 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, Yeah, yeah, it'll be interesting. Taylor

1295
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:29,599
Trammel is twenty seven now, he's played one hundred and

1296
00:57:29,599 --> 00:57:30,880
twenty six career games.

1297
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:35,719
Speaker 2: He's got a negative war like maybe they feel like

1298
00:57:35,719 --> 00:57:38,519
there's some lightning in that bottle. I don't know, but

1299
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,800
that is interesting. And then another option at left field

1300
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,880
could be Gordy our friend Josel Tove.

1301
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,079
Speaker 13: I don't think it's that much of an extra wear

1302
00:57:48,159 --> 00:57:51,159
other than there's a longer run from the dugout. But

1303
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,920
I mean I played outfield. It gets it gets boring

1304
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,320
out there after you don't do much.

1305
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:58,159
Speaker 8: I mean you're waiting.

1306
00:57:58,239 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 13: You may not get a fly ball for a long time.

1307
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,239
So I don't see if it was Maybe if it

1308
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,719
was center, there's a little bit more aware for center

1309
00:58:05,719 --> 00:58:08,400
field because you have to run to both sides, both

1310
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,840
gaps or short stop.

1311
00:58:12,159 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 4: So there you go.

1312
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: He says, not as much extra wear and tear for

1313
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,400
al Tuova if he's going to left field.

1314
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,519
Speaker 4: I just dude, come on, it's gonna happen.

1315
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,519
Speaker 8: Would would al two set the record for the smallest

1316
00:58:24,679 --> 00:58:25,880
player to ever play outfield?

1317
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:30,519
Speaker 4: I don't think so. Probably. I don't know what position

1318
00:58:30,559 --> 00:58:32,840
did Hack Wilson play back in the day. I don't know.

1319
00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 8: Okay, in the modern era, who's the shortest?

1320
00:58:38,679 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 4: Oh, here we go, pulling it up. Hack Wilson play

1321
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:43,159
the outfield?

1322
00:58:43,239 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 8: Baby?

1323
00:58:45,639 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 2: Five five foot six. I know who he is. You

1324
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:50,760
know you've heard the name.

1325
00:58:51,639 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 8: How about Jorge Barosa of the Diamondbacks five foot five?

1326
00:58:55,719 --> 00:58:57,519
Speaker 4: Okay, you're pulling up googles.

1327
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just trying to see them, like, yeah, who

1328
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:01,519
has been the shortest.

1329
00:59:01,159 --> 00:59:02,119
Speaker 4: Time I'm trying to see where.

1330
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, Hack Wilson used to play center field and

1331
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,960
right and left back in the day in what year

1332
00:59:08,559 --> 00:59:09,639
nineteen twenty seven?

1333
00:59:10,199 --> 00:59:11,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, come on, look.

1334
00:59:11,559 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 4: At the minute of Hack Wilson out there and left

1335
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,400
field for the Chicago Cubs.

1336
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,199
Speaker 8: Hall of Fame coming up on one hundred year anniversary

1337
00:59:20,199 --> 00:59:28,960
of Wilson playing. Jorge Barosa is a Venezuelan outfielder for

1338
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,239
the Arizona Diamondbacks. And he's listed as five foot nine,

1339
00:59:34,599 --> 00:59:38,679
so he's probably more five foot eight. But that's like,

1340
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,840
isn't your stereotypical outfielder, Like, oh, he's six one six

1341
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:44,559
' three five tool player.

1342
00:59:47,159 --> 00:59:49,239
Speaker 2: Oh, Jose's not going to have all the tools. We

1343
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:50,880
don't know about his throwing arm either.

1344
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,639
Speaker 8: Well, you just use the the I mean the wall helps, right,

1345
00:59:56,679 --> 00:59:59,079
I mean it's all about playing the playing the ball.

1346
00:59:59,199 --> 01:00:01,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right. He should push off the wall when

1347
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:06,239
he throws. That's give him a little bit extra umph.

1348
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 8: But at least doing that, he just says, he get

1349
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,400
the ball back in range at the second basement. How

1350
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,760
many errorsts did he have last year?

1351
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 2: He actually had a really high fielding percentage. But you're

1352
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,920
gonna have a high percentage when you're not tracking down

1353
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,679
a whole bunch of balls because you just don't have

1354
01:00:19,679 --> 01:00:24,079
the range you used to. Yeah, here's what, here's actually

1355
01:00:24,119 --> 01:00:26,199
we do have. Dana Brown, he's not worried about jose

1356
01:00:26,239 --> 01:00:27,400
Al two vas throwing arm.

1357
01:00:27,519 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 13: It's easier to throw from the outfield because you get

1358
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,599
the crow hop in the momentum, where a lot of

1359
01:00:31,639 --> 01:00:34,639
times on the infield it's like you throw flat footed.

1360
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 7: And so I think his arm.

1361
01:00:36,199 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 13: Will play a little bit better in the outfield because

1362
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,840
when you get your crow hop and you get your

1363
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,119
weight behind you, the ball usually comes out a lot better.

1364
01:00:44,639 --> 01:00:47,079
Speaker 7: And so I don't think he'd have problems throwing.

1365
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 4: This is happening. This is so happening.

1366
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,559
Speaker 2: Dana Brown is talking about crow hopping and arms, and

1367
01:00:54,079 --> 01:00:56,480
he's jogging out the left and he's gonna be boring

1368
01:00:56,519 --> 01:00:59,360
though he's gonna be bored out there. A lot of

1369
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,000
how two vane that field is absolutely happening this year.

1370
01:01:03,639 --> 01:01:08,119
Speaker 8: God, it just that seems so ridiculous. I mean, I

1371
01:01:08,159 --> 01:01:12,239
guess if but like, okay, what's the backup plan? Or

1372
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:13,760
like if he's doing that, then who's second?

1373
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 4: Who's a second Dubon?

1374
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 8: Come on?

1375
01:01:17,559 --> 01:01:20,039
Speaker 2: Somebody that they signed, maybe Bryce Matthews eventually.

1376
01:01:23,519 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1377
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:26,599
Speaker 8: I'd rather put yrd On in left.

1378
01:01:26,599 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 2: Then I'm with you, I put you bon in second.

1379
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,679
I mean, I'm putting can yord On play second?

1380
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,239
Speaker 4: What's it? I'm just kidding.

1381
01:01:35,239 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 8: By the way, did you hear that call earlier, the

1382
01:01:39,519 --> 01:01:44,159
guy who asked Sean and the Lima about you know,

1383
01:01:44,239 --> 01:01:47,159
why kn't ord On play first? It is a very

1384
01:01:47,159 --> 01:01:48,960
simple answer. He doesn't want to.

1385
01:01:50,559 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 4: Very clearly. It hasn't happened over the years, and they

1386
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:54,719
talked about working him out there for years and years

1387
01:01:54,719 --> 01:01:55,960
and years, as never happens.

1388
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,559
Speaker 8: It's just always funny when fans are like, what what

1389
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,960
I'll put this guy at first because he doesn't want to.

1390
01:02:01,639 --> 01:02:03,639
Players get to say it where they play. This isn't

1391
01:02:04,079 --> 01:02:07,679
This isn't high school where you go you know, Villarel

1392
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:11,119
get it first? As I said, so like they have

1393
01:02:11,239 --> 01:02:13,000
us say and what they what position they play?

1394
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's it's interesting. It'll be very very

1395
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,440
interesting to see how this plays out. I wonder how

1396
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,320
many games al twov is actually gonna be out there

1397
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:26,719
and left I.

1398
01:02:26,639 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 8: Hope not many.

1399
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 2: I'm thinking forty fifty is just off the top of

1400
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,559
my head. But not having you know, any idea, And

1401
01:02:33,599 --> 01:02:36,280
like you said, we we always kind of construct our

1402
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,239
roster in our mind and the way things are gonna

1403
01:02:38,239 --> 01:02:39,800
play out with one hundred percent health, and it's not

1404
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:41,000
gonna be that way.

1405
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:43,519
Speaker 8: How many balls hit on a rope? Do you think

1406
01:02:43,559 --> 01:02:44,519
he's gonna run down?

1407
01:02:47,239 --> 01:02:49,239
Speaker 4: He's gonna work on it, Easyna be fine.

1408
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 8: I don't think he's gonna make.

1409
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,519
Speaker 4: Any He's he's gonna run down some.

1410
01:02:54,239 --> 01:02:55,239
Speaker 5: He's not gonna be top.

1411
01:02:55,599 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 4: He's not gonna be a little leaguer out there.

1412
01:02:58,519 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 8: That's what I'm envisioning.

1413
01:03:00,039 --> 01:03:03,519
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's you're your nuts. It's not gonna

1414
01:03:03,559 --> 01:03:04,320
be that bad.

1415
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 8: You're dead. He's a Hall of Fame second baby, but he's.

1416
01:03:08,599 --> 01:03:09,559
Speaker 4: A hall of famer.

1417
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 2: He won a if you can win a Gold Glove

1418
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,079
anywhere you can be in a left fielder.

1419
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:15,679
Speaker 8: I'm not putting in the outfield.

1420
01:03:15,679 --> 01:03:17,480

There's a guy in a wheelchair of a I think

1469
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,800
he's a vent but he's becoming a radio row for

1470
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:54,079
well over a decade. I've seen him here forever. He

1471
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,400
comes up to when you're in the middle of interviews

1472
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,440
and rolls up and like try say he did this

1473
01:05:59,519 --> 01:06:01,559
war with Bird co star with us, and I had

1474
01:06:01,639 --> 01:06:03,920
multiple people tell me this guy does this all the time.

1475
01:06:04,039 --> 01:06:07,760
He hawks guests and like interrupts other people's guests on

1476
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,559
Radio Row to try to get guts for his Joe.

1477
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,480
And it's like, dude, wait till they're finished and leaving

1478
01:06:13,599 --> 01:06:16,159
the booth that they're at to try to get your

1479
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,880
but like he just what's the step on everybody's toes?

1480
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,440
And and nobody got time for that?

1481
01:06:21,239 --> 01:06:22,599
Speaker 11: Hey nobody get tam Wow.

1482
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:27,719
Speaker 2: That was always fun seeing really pushy people. I'm not

1483
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,840
really a pushy person by nature, and I don't think

1484
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:34,639
you either are Gordy, but it's like, unfortunately, you got

1485
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,079
to get a little bit pushy if you want all

1486
01:06:37,119 --> 01:06:39,239
the right guests at Radio Row, which is just.

1487
01:06:39,199 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 8: So yeah, No, I get being pushy, but like, I mean,

1488
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:44,880
can you imagine, like is there any where else you

1489
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,440
would do that, just like in the middle of y Hey, hey,

1490
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,360
what am I getting on? Like dude, I'm literally in

1491
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,280
the middle of doing you know, Like so.

1492
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 2: Anyway seven one three two one two five, seven ninety

1494
01:06:58,440 --> 01:06:59,880
two one two five.

1495
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 4: Anybody got tired of this? Rockets loss last night to

1496
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:04,079
the Brooklyn Nets.

1497
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:08,079
Speaker 2: You are up four points with nine and a half

1498
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,440
seconds to go. You didn't even really deserve to win

1499
01:07:11,519 --> 01:07:15,719
the game anyways, but to completely choke that way to

1500
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:20,639
where you give up the three to Keyon quote Johnson.

1501
01:07:21,079 --> 01:07:24,519
I was gonna say, Coleman to Keyon Johnson, and then

1502
01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:27,039
a men, Thompson, we love you, a men Thompson.

1503
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,559
Speaker 4: You're so great, you're so smart, you're so athletic, high basketball,

1504
01:07:30,599 --> 01:07:33,800
a Q. All the accolades that you have been given

1505
01:07:34,239 --> 01:07:38,639
you deserve, but you can't throw that ball away with

1506
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,599
three seconds on a five second count. At the very least,

1507
01:07:42,039 --> 01:07:43,599
don't panic in that moment and.

1508
01:07:43,679 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 2: Call a timeout. Just call the time out. Move on,

1509
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,159
get to the other side of the floor, and you're

1510
01:07:50,239 --> 01:07:51,960
gonna be fine. And you're not gonna be able to

1511
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,199
give away the ball under your own basket with limited

1512
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:58,039
time left. It pokes out and you're a bad pass.

1513
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:02,880
D'Angelo Russell makes at three. The Rockets lost. They choked

1514
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,440
last night in Brooklyn. Ain't nobody got time for that.

1515
01:08:05,639 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 4: Ain't nobody got time for it?

1516
01:08:10,639 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 8: All right?

1517
01:08:12,039 --> 01:08:14,119
Speaker 2: I hope so seven one three, two, one two five

1518
01:08:14,199 --> 01:08:15,719

seven ninety Connor mcgovernent, go ahead, The floor is yours.

1521
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,199
Speaker 10: I mean, every week we can say, ain't nobody got

1522
01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:28,359
time for Houston traffic? Uh, But this weekend I feel

1523
01:08:28,399 --> 01:08:31,560
like it deserves a special shout out. So as a

1524
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,159
lot of us already know, a portion of I ten

1525
01:08:33,279 --> 01:08:36,000
near the Heights has closed down two of its lanes

1526
01:08:36,079 --> 01:08:38,960
and they're doing construction over there. Forty five south towards

1527
01:08:39,039 --> 01:08:42,920
Galveston House construction construction schedules for the weekend. And now

1528
01:08:43,079 --> 01:08:46,520
the Texas Department of Transportation has just announced a fullclosure

1529
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:50,239
of Interstate sixty nine Highway fifty nine northbound mainlanes at

1530
01:08:50,279 --> 01:08:52,960
Kelly Street for two consecutive weekends. And that's just really

1531
01:08:53,039 --> 01:08:57,279
gonna screw up my travel plans as I reside in Humble.

1532
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,279
So ain't nobody got time for all the huge in

1533
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:07,039
highway construction going on this early spring or late winter?

1534
01:09:07,119 --> 01:09:11,600
I don't know, but it's it's just really inconvenient. Three

1535
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,199
major highways going through stuff right now.

1536
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,119
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. It seems like it's

1537
01:09:15,119 --> 01:09:18,439
getting progressively worse and worse. You know, Like sometimes you're like, oh,

1538
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:19,800
you know, and it's the weekend, there's not gonna be

1539
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:20,319
any traffic.

1540
01:09:20,399 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 5: That's like good.

1541
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,359
Speaker 4: It's almost like that's when the most traffic is. Yeah,

1542
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,720
it's impossible to get anywhere at any point in this town. Weekdays, weekends,

1543
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,279
it doesn't seem to matter. There's always something under construction.

1544
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,560
I'm with e Connor McGovern it's quite ridiculous.

1545
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody gets hunted, Ain't nobody got time for any

1546
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:41,560
of it. I've had a coughing fit basically this entire segment.

1547
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,159
This is ridiculous. I don't know what's going on. I

1548
01:09:44,199 --> 01:09:46,840
don't know what kind of whooping cough I caught or whatever,

1549
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:48,359
but this is the worst cough I've ever had in

1550
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:52,039
my life. It's I'm so upset and tired and sick

1551
01:09:52,119 --> 01:09:54,760
and tired and sick and tired of this. I don't

1552
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,119
want this coff to shut its bum ass up too, shit, So.

1553
01:09:58,199 --> 01:09:59,279
Speaker 5: Bum ass up? Man?

1554
01:10:01,119 --> 01:10:03,359
Speaker 4: All right, Cordy, you got anything else?

1555
01:10:04,199 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know. Did you see the Steven A.

1556
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:07,760
Smith report that's out there?

1557
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:08,079
Speaker 5: Uh?

1558
01:10:08,119 --> 01:10:11,239
Speaker 4: Oh no, he's reporting something.

1559
01:10:12,039 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 8: Well, no, it's a report about Okay, what's going on?

1560
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:16,359
Speaker 4: Now is he running for president?

1561
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:21,520
Speaker 8: Well, front off of sports put out there, Stephen A.

1562
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:27,199
Smith is emerging as a potential Democratic candidate presidential election.

1563
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:34,399
Oh my god, I would say nobody got time for that,

1564
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,279
but maybe we do have some time for that.

1565
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 4: I don't want to get too political, but Democrats.

1566
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:50,119
Speaker 15: Come on, what you're doing, what you're doing, Democrats, let's

1567
01:10:50,159 --> 01:10:51,079
get let's get this.

1568
01:10:51,239 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 4: Is this, this bought up situation is out of control.

1569
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:01,159
You've got these illegal immigrants coming over here. It's it's preposterous.

1570
01:11:02,159 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 8: If Stephen A. Runs as the Democratic presidential candidate, we

1571
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,680
need Chris mad Dog Russo as the Republican and just

1572
01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:09,479
let them debate. I will tune in for that.

1573
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 4: These tarrifts are out of control. You gotta stop with

1574
01:11:15,119 --> 01:11:19,800
the terrorists. Justin Jordan, who was a scrub?

1575
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:26,399
Speaker 8: Come on, that's gold. Oh my god, probably bad, Probably

1576
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:27,079
bad for the country.

1577
01:11:27,119 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 4: I mean, look, he's built for this. He's gonna win

1578
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,119
whatever presidential bab he's on.

1579
01:11:31,279 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 5: I guess.

1580
01:11:35,039 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 8: He's already got a strong suit game.

1581
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean, for that to come out of your mouth,

1582
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,720
who would be even running? Who would be the Republican guy? DeSantis?

1583
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:41,600
In twenty twenty eight.

1584
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:46,079
Speaker 8: Or whoever probably on the who's the VP? Vance?

1585
01:11:46,239 --> 01:11:50,239
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, JD Vance? What JD Fance just said was unconscionable.

1586
01:11:50,279 --> 01:11:53,760
I can't believe that would even come out of your mouth. Actually,

1587
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,560
wait a minute, you know what, it's already a dog

1588
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,720
and pony show for entertainment. This country has bought and

1589
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,439

1599
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,800
be some great, great TV comedy. I would they would

1600
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:30,920
just do a debate every week. It would be great.

1601
01:12:32,279 --> 01:12:34,039
Speaker 5: Just coming up with words. They don't really understand.

1602

of being out there in Radio Row is getting a

1731
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,359

Speaker 6: Really.

1736
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:32,520
Speaker 8: The only thing that they're giving out is Bounty has

1737
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,479
a setup and they have they're giving out wings. So

1738

as you know, excuse me, yeah, there's never food food

1739
01:18:39,039 --> 01:18:44,399
on Radio Row. Bounty is giving out packets of five wings,

1740
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:48,359
the dryer poles, yes, and they're giving you paper towels

1741
01:18:48,359 --> 01:18:48,800
to go with it.

1742
01:18:49,039 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 2: So, oh, is it like a joke, like I get

1743

this on your clothes and then wash them with bounty.

1744
01:18:54,119 --> 01:18:57,119

01:18:59,000 --> 01:18:59,319
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1747
01:18:59,399 --> 01:19:02,039

1752
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,640
else being really being given away, which is a missed opportunity.

1753
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,720
You probably could have brought some uh I don't know,

1754
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,880
some Matt Thomas bobbleheads or something to giving them out.

1755

1826
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:28,119
used to it with Matt. He's a easy just say.

1827
01:22:28,199 --> 01:22:29,159
Speaker 8: Matt does it every day.

1828
01:22:29,399 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. I haven't seen Matt in like a month.

1829
01:22:32,319 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 2: I think I've seen him like two days in the

1830
01:22:34,079 --> 01:22:37,159
entire year of twenty twenty five at this point, it's ridiculous.

1831
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,119
Speaker 4: But anyways, he'll be back tomorrow.

1832
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,279
Speaker 2: What is the top sports news items or what are

1833
01:22:42,359 --> 01:22:44,199
the top sports news items oh the day?

1834
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 10: Well, speaking of Matt Thomas, he was on the road

1835
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,279
with the Brockets, and the Rockets lost again to the

1836
01:22:49,319 --> 01:22:51,680
Brooklyn Nets last night, this time on the road in

1837
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:55,439
a ninety nine to ninety seven final. Brooklyn was trailing

1838
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,720
ninety seven to ninety three when Keon Johnson made a

1839
01:22:57,760 --> 01:22:59,840
three from the wing with eight point one seconds left,

1840
01:23:00,199 --> 01:23:02,520
and then Thompson then threw an inbounds pass that skip

1841
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,279
past Dylan Brooks and ended up in the hands of

1842
01:23:04,359 --> 01:23:07,000
D'Angelo Russell, who buried three to put the Nets ahead

1843
01:23:07,039 --> 01:23:09,560
with three point four second scremating.

1844
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 3: Costno Wolfa's gonna inbound the ball with nine and a

1845
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:18,079
half to go, Owolba lost Courtkeon Johnson left side three, yes,

1846
01:23:20,119 --> 01:23:21,920
ninety seven ninety six.

1847
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 4: Thompson loss the basketball straight.

1848
01:23:25,279 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 1: Away three Russell yes, Oh my goodness.

1849
01:23:29,159 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 4: Now with three point four seconds rebeating.

1850
01:23:33,359 --> 01:23:35,600
Speaker 10: The Nets made two to three pointers in the final

1851
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,239
ten seconds, Russell hits the ice in his vein Selly

1852
01:23:38,319 --> 01:23:39,359
and the Rockets.

1853
01:23:39,039 --> 01:23:43,520
Speaker 2: Have now lost, have now lost for sure. They just

1854
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,359
got swept by the Brooklyn Nets. Cordy, this does not

1855
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:49,640
feel good. That was such a choke last night. I mean,

1856
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,640
it just is what it is. It happens, you don't

1857
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:55,840
want it to happen. But the team, Emiodoka said it himself.

1858
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,640
They only played three and a half quarters and then

1859
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,920
they try to steal one at the in with Shingoon dominating, and.

1860
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 4: Then that happened.

1861
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,560
Speaker 2: Just disheartening for a team that's looking to stay atop

1862
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:06,479
the Western Conference.

1863
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're one of their best players. Didn't even play

1864
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:11,399
Cam Thomas from LSU.

1865
01:24:12,159 --> 01:24:15,319
Speaker 4: Oh god, are we really going on this? Come on, man,

1866
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,199
Tarry Easton didn't play from LSU either. Why all these

1867
01:24:19,319 --> 01:24:20,119
LSU guys hurt?

1868
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,279
Speaker 2: I know they could use them, Yeah, they could use them,

1869
01:24:24,319 --> 01:24:26,800
but they didn't have them last night. And people are

1870
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,279
asking like, is this the real Rockets? Is water finding

1871
01:24:29,319 --> 01:24:29,840
its level?

1872
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 8: No?

1873
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 4: I understand. They did beat the Cavaliers and the Celtics.

1874
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:37,279
All three of those games were really close and coin flippers,

1875
01:24:38,039 --> 01:24:40,159
if you will, And there were some coin flippers recently,

1876
01:24:40,239 --> 01:24:44,359
the loss against the Grizzlies, Nicks last night against the Nets.

1877
01:24:44,159 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 2: That was less than a coin flipper. That was bad

1878
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,199
beat last night that both of those threes went in

1879
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,439
and you turn the ball over. But they're still a

1880
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,920
really good team. They need to get Fred van Vliet back.

1881
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:56,640
As long as they're staying fully healthy. I still fully

1882
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,560
believe they're one of the top four teams in the West,

1883
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,680
and hopefully one of the top two three because we

1884
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,039
know that Thunder are gonna run away with.

1885
01:25:02,039 --> 01:25:02,600
Speaker 5: It in the West.

1886
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:06,399
Speaker 8: Winnable games coming up too.

1887
01:25:07,039 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's gonna help.

1888
01:25:08,039 --> 01:25:10,520
Speaker 2: And this is just a horrible stretch that they're on

1889
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,760
fourteen games out of eighteen on the road, including nine

1890
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:17,119
out of the last eight. Taking on the Timberwolves hopefully,

1891
01:25:17,279 --> 01:25:20,720
well Timberwolves is not really gonna be easy. But then Dallas,

1892
01:25:21,079 --> 01:25:24,319
we'll see what they got. Toronto, Phoenix is not great,

1893
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,359
some more winnable games, Utah in the mix. San Antonio

1894
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,960
actually might be really good. But I just want them

1895
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,319
to get to the All Star Break, be healthy as

1896
01:25:33,359 --> 01:25:35,520
possible down the stretch, and they're still gonna be, in

1897
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:39,399
my opinion, a top four Western Conference team.

1898
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 5: All right?

1899
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 4: What else is going on in the news at noon?

1900
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:42,640
Conna mcgevin.

1901
01:25:43,079 --> 01:25:46,399
Speaker 10: In other Rockets news, the Boston Celtics are trading Jaden

1902
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,479
Springer in their twenty twenty twenty thirty second round pick

1903
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:53,840
to the Rockets. Both teams are exchanging heavily protected at

1904
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:54,520
second rounders.

1905
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 2: According to Shams, Yeah, I saw a breakdown from Bobby marks.

1906
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:03,520
He does the NBES. He's like the NBA capologist for them, Gordy.

1907
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:09,199
He says that the Celtics get a huge reduction in

1908
01:26:09,239 --> 01:26:12,119
their tax penalty. It goes from sixty five million to

1909
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:16,880
fifty million. The Rockets get Jayden Springer. They also get

1910
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:19,760
a second round pick out of the deal. And maybe

1911
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,720
you're thinking first round talent, maybe we can turn him

1912
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:24,680
into something, especially on the defensive side.

1913
01:26:29,239 --> 01:26:30,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't.

1914
01:26:30,239 --> 01:26:32,319
Speaker 8: I mean, we'll see. I saw somebody say you're just

1915
01:26:32,359 --> 01:26:34,760
taking a flyer on a guy that's a former first

1916
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:36,640
round pick, So see if there's something there.

1917
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then at the end of the day, we

1918
01:26:40,119 --> 01:26:42,000
know what the Celtics did. It's one of these very

1919
01:26:42,119 --> 01:26:45,680
very very small type of deals. So not an earth

1920
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,600
shaker from the Rockets. But do you think, okay, if

1921
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,800
I had to say, a huge impact deal. There are

1922
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,600
some Rockets fans pushing for them to make a push

1923
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:57,399
for Kevin Durant, who is pretty squarely in the market.

1924
01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:00,760
It seems like a mid level deal or just a

1925
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,079
deal like this, or no deal at all in the

1926
01:27:03,159 --> 01:27:07,880
coming days. Trade deadline Tomorrow two pm is the deadline,

1927
01:27:08,279 --> 01:27:10,119
and we'll have the coverage for you here, of course,

1928
01:27:10,159 --> 01:27:11,199
on Sports Talk seven.

1929
01:27:11,079 --> 01:27:15,279
Speaker 4: Ninety, I'm gonna say no deal, no deal at all,

1930
01:27:15,319 --> 01:27:19,239
like this is it? Yeah, I could see that. I

1931
01:27:19,319 --> 01:27:22,279
could see that definitely being the case for the Houston Rockets.

1932
01:27:22,399 --> 01:27:24,359
I just certainly don't think it's gonna be. They're not

1933
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:26,680
big game hunting. I don't think I think they're gonna

1934
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:28,520
stay the course. They like their guys.

1935
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:31,359
Speaker 2: They're gonna continue to let them develop and then go

1936
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:34,560
from there because they're already exceeding expectations even if they

1937
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:36,920
finish I mean anywhere in the top playoff, a top

1938
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:38,199
six of the playoffs.

1939
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:38,720
Speaker 4: Certainly in the top four.

1940
01:27:39,159 --> 01:27:41,600
Speaker 2: They're ahead of expectations, ahead of schedule in this phase

1941
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,960
to run that they are on what else you got,

1942
01:27:45,199 --> 01:27:46,239
conn McGovern.

1943
01:27:46,159 --> 01:27:48,920
Speaker 10: I mean, speaking of the NBA tread deadline trade deadline

1944
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:51,880
that is tomorrow afternoon. We saw some more moves this morning,

1945
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,880
as the Milwaukee Bucks are trading Chris Middleton, A J. Johnson,

1946
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,840
and a pick swap to the Washington Wizards For Kyle Kuzma,

1947
01:27:58,039 --> 01:27:59,159
Patrick Poulan Jr.

1948
01:27:59,399 --> 01:28:01,239
Speaker 4: And a second round draft compensation.

1949
01:28:02,039 --> 01:28:05,359
Speaker 10: Dallas is sending Quentin Grimes in Philadelphia's twenty twenty five

1950
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:07,439
second round pick back to the seventy six ers for

1951
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:08,720
Caleb Martin as well.

1952
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,640
Speaker 4: So two bigger trades going on this morning. So Kyle,

1953
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:13,760
it's gonna be Kyle Kuzma as part of a big

1954
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:16,319
three with Dame Lillard and and Giannis's Intokoumpo or are

1955
01:28:16,359 --> 01:28:19,479
they gonna try to move somebody else. I think they

1956
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:21,399
might be set with that big three moving on from

1957
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:22,439
Chris Middleton.

1958
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:26,960
Speaker 2: Ugh, I mean, is Chris Middleton that washed? He'd been

1959
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:28,520
a big part of what they've been trying to do

1960
01:28:29,399 --> 01:28:31,600
the last couple of years. He's been very good defensively.

1961
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:33,760
I guess he is thirty three years old at this point.

1962
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,000
But as far as like a three and d wing,

1963
01:28:38,039 --> 01:28:39,720
it's kind of surprising to me that they would move

1964
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,279
on from him and go to go go to Kyle Kuzma.

1965
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:47,840
I don't know any thoughts on that. Gordy, you're gonna

1966
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:48,560
break down the trade?

1967
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:52,319
Speaker 8: I mean that, do you is your gut that we're

1968
01:28:52,319 --> 01:28:54,560
gonna get a big trade? I mean that the Durant stuff.

1969
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:56,319
I don't know that they're floating it out there. I

1970
01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:58,399
know the Rockets have always had their eyes on Durant,

1971
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:00,960
but I don't know, Man, I don't want to blow

1972
01:29:01,119 --> 01:29:04,039
up what you're building here, but you're a Longhorn Homer.

1973
01:29:04,079 --> 01:29:05,479
You'd love to see the Grand Rockets.

1974
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:08,239
Speaker 4: I don't know that I would be over the moon

1975
01:29:08,239 --> 01:29:11,359
about it just because of his age, Because if what

1976
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:12,560
kind of pieces.

1977
01:29:12,239 --> 01:29:15,720
Speaker 2: Are you going to have to give up as far

1978
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,119
as the core of this team to acquire a thirty

1979
01:29:19,119 --> 01:29:20,960
six year old. The Rockets aren't in win now. It

1980
01:29:21,039 --> 01:29:25,359
all costs mode other teams maybe, but not the Rockets.

1981
01:29:25,399 --> 01:29:28,279
So I actually wouldn't be in a big way in

1982
01:29:28,399 --> 01:29:30,920
favor of that move. I would not want them to

1983
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:35,439
disrupt this young core in what they're doing unless they think,

1984
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:37,119
all right, we got to push all our chips now

1985
01:29:37,159 --> 01:29:39,600
and try to win a championship and then that's that.

1986
01:29:40,119 --> 01:29:41,840
That would be kind of going staying off course. It

1987
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:44,239
would be making a huge leap into where they are

1988
01:29:44,359 --> 01:29:46,720
in their development. It'd be like skipping a couple of

1989
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:51,439
grades in school or something like. They're just not It

1990
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:54,439
doesn't make logical sense with the path that they've been

1991
01:29:54,479 --> 01:29:54,920
on lately.

1992
01:29:56,359 --> 01:29:59,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm just again, I've said this before and I'll

1993
01:29:59,239 --> 01:30:02,079
say it again. You sucked for you sucked so bad

1994
01:30:02,199 --> 01:30:05,760
for several years and you were rewarded with high draft picks,

1995
01:30:06,119 --> 01:30:08,039
and you put a lot of work into the scouting

1996
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:13,279
and everything to acquire those players. I hang on to

1997
01:30:13,359 --> 01:30:16,439
them continue the development. I mean, they're still younger, they're

1998
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,800
still developing, they're growing together, chemistry, all that. I just

1999
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:21,760
don't want to give that up for a chance at

2000
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:24,880
a at Oh well, let's go get this big name person.

2001
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, not somebody that's thirty six years old. I

2002
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:31,880
actually would have been more okay with like a dearon

2003
01:30:31,920 --> 01:30:33,960
Fox type of move, just because he's so much younger.

2004
01:30:34,039 --> 01:30:35,960
But clearly it seemed like he was on a path

2005
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:39,159
of going to the Spurs the entire time. So it

2006
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:42,239
is what it is on that front. But yeah, a

2007
01:30:42,359 --> 01:30:44,560
thirty six year old, even though he's an all time

2008
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:48,960
great towards the end of his career, I'm good. I

2009
01:30:49,079 --> 01:30:51,439
think on Kevin Durant, now, if it happened, it'd be

2010
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:55,079
exciting for this year obviously in the in the interest

2011
01:30:55,119 --> 01:30:59,039
and intrigue would go up. But if it were me

2012
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,720
and I was GM of the of the Houston Rockets,

2013
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,680
which I'm not, I'd be staying the course.

2014
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:07,600
Speaker 4: What else you got? Connor McGovern on the news at noon.

2015
01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:12,279
Speaker 10: Yesterday, the Astros hosted their annual media luncheon, and General

2016
01:31:12,319 --> 01:31:14,800
manager Danny Brown got up on the podium and referred

2017
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:18,119
to Alex Bregman in the past tense, saying, quote, we're

2018
01:31:18,159 --> 01:31:22,439
missing out on Bregman. When asked to clarify his statements,

2019
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,319
Dan Brown said this, well, I mean.

2020
01:31:24,359 --> 01:31:31,079
Speaker 13: Ultimately, we're still having conversations about internally, and I could

2021
01:31:31,239 --> 01:31:32,159
probably leave it a down.

2022
01:31:32,279 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 17: Okay, what's the frustration level on that progress or lack

2023
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:43,199
of you says on break breaknant situation decision from their side,

2024
01:31:43,279 --> 01:31:44,920
and I guess we all side as well.

2025
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean Bregman's a free agent. You know, they

2026
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,279
can decide to do what they want to do with so.

2027
01:31:51,039 --> 01:31:52,880
Speaker 13: And as long as he's a free agent, we'll just

2028
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,560
continue to have our internal conversations about him.

2029
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:57,319
Speaker 8: Still being development.

2030
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:01,239
Speaker 10: Brown later said the door isn't closed and like he said,

2031
01:32:01,319 --> 01:32:04,239
continue to have internal internal conversations, but there has been

2032
01:32:04,359 --> 01:32:08,319
no new dialogue with Bregman's agent, Scott Morris hm hmm.

2033
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:12,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that door has just got to be closed,

2034
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:14,760
or at least Dana Brown's mind.

2035
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:17,520
Speaker 8: It is my favorite part of that clip Ross is

2036
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:19,880
where he goes what progress, what.

2037
01:32:20,119 --> 01:32:20,640
Speaker 4: We're talking about?

2038
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like playing, he's like you talking about frustration

2039
01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:24,720
with who Alex?

2040
01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 6: What?

2041
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:28,079
Speaker 4: Never heard of the guy? It's almost like, let's just

2042
01:32:28,159 --> 01:32:32,159
move on. He didn't expect to be taking Alex Bregman

2043
01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:35,239
questions on February fourth, He just didn't.

2044
01:32:36,399 --> 01:32:39,760
Speaker 8: Where are you on progress? What progress? Oh? We oh

2045
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,159
yeah we're okah yeah yeah we're still uh yeah, we're

2046
01:32:43,159 --> 01:32:44,520
still talking about it. Yeah.

2047
01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:47,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're working I am, we're working it out.

2048
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:50,960
Speaker 8: I mean, like again, if they really hit up to

2049
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:51,760
tell you, they would tell you.

2050
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:54,439
Speaker 2: He was like a shooter mcgavern and happy happy Gilmore

2051
01:32:55,119 --> 01:32:56,600
well happy? Oh yeah, where's he finished?

2052
01:32:56,920 --> 01:32:57,439
Speaker 4: Dead Last?

2053
01:32:57,760 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2054
01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,079

01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 2: It is the Matt Thomas show with Matt Thomas out

2114
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,520
traveling as he seems to do every single week lately,

2115
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:53,640
and that's okay. Uh, we will be up in spring

2116
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:56,239
training in a couple of weeks. That should be fun.

2117
01:35:56,359 --> 01:36:00,119
Speaker 4: As you mentioned, Gordy, the kind of the media, the

2118
01:36:00,239 --> 01:36:02,039
unveiling of the hashtag, which, by the way, how do

2119
01:36:02,039 --> 01:36:03,880
you feel about the built for this hashtag for the

2120
01:36:03,920 --> 01:36:04,760
Houston Astros.

2121
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:09,079
Speaker 8: I like it. They are built for this, built for

2122
01:36:09,199 --> 01:36:16,640
what for overcoming losing players but still staying world serious contender.

2123
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:22,279
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I guess we'll see. And we've been talking

2124
01:36:22,319 --> 01:36:23,520
a lot about the go ahead.

2125
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:25,319
Speaker 8: It's like something of the kids say, right like, I'm

2126
01:36:25,359 --> 01:36:25,880
built for this.

2127
01:36:26,279 --> 01:36:26,800
Speaker 5: Built for this.

2128
01:36:27,399 --> 01:36:30,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's something else. It feels a little pass a though,

2129
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:31,960
but whatever, what do I know.

2130
01:36:32,159 --> 01:36:34,159
Speaker 2: I'm not in the marketing department making all that money.

2131
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:36,880
I thought, you know, at first, when I heard relentless,

2132
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:38,520
I didn't like it. But as the season went on,

2133
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:40,920
I kind of liked relentless, So maybe I'll warm up

2134
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:41,880
to it as it goes along.

2135
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:46,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, turn out turn out the postseason they weren't very relentless.

2136
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:48,479
Speaker 2: It also got fun when they were losing game. It

2137
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:53,359
was like relentless one run game losses, relentless Ryan Presley

2138
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:57,680
base Runners. But then they relentlessly won the AO West.

2139
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:04,000
But they went eighty eight games last year. And is

2140
01:37:04,079 --> 01:37:09,840
that person talking to you, Gordy? Oh sounds like this

2141
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:12,720
is okay, this is listening to this. Cordy's getting offered guests.

2142
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 4: Okay, crawfish.

2143
01:37:18,119 --> 01:37:24,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, It's It's funny, man, the they like people see

2144
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:25,920
you on a headset.

2145
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they still can talk to you. It happens

2146
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:30,439
to us we're on remote. I love all you people

2147
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:32,239
who come out and see us on remote. You're amazing

2148
01:37:32,319 --> 01:37:34,079
and we appreciate every single one of you that listen

2149
01:37:34,159 --> 01:37:36,880
to us. But when we're talking on headsets, we're on air,

2150
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:39,640
it's just we can't really talk to you.

2151
01:37:40,119 --> 01:37:42,359
Speaker 4: No, that was great. She just offer you crawfish.

2152
01:37:43,119 --> 01:37:46,039
Speaker 8: I think so. I mean that's a good it's a

2153
01:37:46,119 --> 01:37:49,840
nice comp you know, But like, I don't know, I

2154
01:37:50,159 --> 01:37:53,039
guess maybe next year, you know what I'm gonna do, speaker,

2155
01:37:53,119 --> 01:37:55,279
because when a speaker is pumping out audio, you know

2156
01:37:55,359 --> 01:37:56,239
that person's on the air.

2157
01:37:56,399 --> 01:37:58,399
Speaker 4: It still doesn't stop people for whatever reason.

2158
01:37:59,359 --> 01:38:01,079
Speaker 8: And when you know what, uss the handful of people

2159
01:38:01,159 --> 01:38:04,159
have come and approach me while we're on air. No

2160
01:38:04,319 --> 01:38:05,199
real appealing guests.

2161
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was actually gonna say that while you were

2162
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:08,760
talking to her, I was gonna be I was. I

2163
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,399
was kind of doing like a like as a nature

2164
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:15,079
show and you're out in nature, Gordy, like, all.

2165
01:38:15,039 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 4: Right, folks over here, Chris Good, he's being approached by

2166
01:38:18,119 --> 01:38:19,319
a PR person.

2167
01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:22,039
Speaker 2: When you approach by PR, you do not want to

2168
01:38:22,079 --> 01:38:24,039
get anytime you get approached by a guess, it is

2169
01:38:24,079 --> 01:38:24,720
not a good guest.

2170
01:38:25,039 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 11: Good guest.

2171
01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:26,800

nobody wants.

2183
01:38:56,319 --> 01:38:59,600

01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:35,920
in Houston. There was like a bunch of people from

2225
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:39,079
around Houston area were walking around Radio Row.

2226
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:43,119
Speaker 8: Well, if you remember that was seventeen, aj Hinch made

2227
01:40:43,159 --> 01:40:44,359
the rounds on Radio Row.

2228
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll like, what the heck is aj Hinch doing

2229
01:40:46,039 --> 01:40:46,279
up here?

2230
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:48,079
Speaker 8: Like, I mean, we had him because we had the

2231
01:40:48,119 --> 01:40:50,880
astros and breaking down the shuit was like, yeah's people

2232
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:52,960
talk at Super Bowl, Like, let's switch gears and talk

2233
01:40:53,039 --> 01:40:53,640
some baseball.

2234
01:40:54,319 --> 01:40:56,079
Speaker 4: Hey, aj Hinch, do you think Matt Ryan and the

2235
01:40:56,159 --> 01:40:57,479
Falcons can get this thing done?

2236
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:01,199
Speaker 8: Little did they know he would go on to be

2237
01:41:01,359 --> 01:41:02,960
the World Series champion that year.

2238
01:41:03,119 --> 01:41:09,199
Speaker 4: So yes, yes he did, and then years later he

2239
01:41:09,199 --> 01:41:09,880
would be fired.

2240
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:15,239
Speaker 8: I still wonder what I was talking with somebody about

2241
01:41:15,239 --> 01:41:16,920
that yesterday, the what if if they had gone the

2242
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:19,880
route of it was the Red Sox guy that they

2243
01:41:20,039 --> 01:41:22,680
that just got the one year of suspension, had the

2244
01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,119
Astros just suspended Hinch and Luno for one year, what

2245
01:41:25,359 --> 01:41:25,920
would have happened?

2246
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:27,920
Speaker 7: Yeah?

2247
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 2: How they How nobody talks about the Boston Red Sox

2248
01:41:32,079 --> 01:41:34,640
being dinged for cheating twice and they hired the manager

2249
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:37,319
that got fired as one of the orchestrators of the

2250
01:41:37,399 --> 01:41:39,920
Houston Astro scandal, and the Astros still get all the

2251
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:40,640
heat for cheating.

2252
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:45,159
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, doesn't make any sense. Okay.

2253
01:41:45,319 --> 01:41:47,359
Speaker 8: That was somewhere. I was somewhere recently with a bunch

2254
01:41:47,359 --> 01:41:50,279
of people, uh, and it was people from all over

2255
01:41:50,319 --> 01:41:52,920
the country, and they were like, oh, yeah, Chris does

2256
01:41:53,039 --> 01:41:56,000
uh some pre postgame shows for the Astros. And one

2257
01:41:56,039 --> 01:41:58,399
guy was like, oh, I'm not even gonna say anything.

2258
01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:00,399
I was like, no, please say something. I would love

2259
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:01,199
to debate this with you.

2260
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 4: No, I don't like getting into it.

2261
01:42:05,359 --> 01:42:07,680
Speaker 2: I don't what is the old saying like, do not

2262
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:09,840
get caught up arguing with a fool because people from

2263
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:12,159
a distance won't know the difference, or something like that.

2264
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:15,920
Speaker 4: Basically that don't even waste your time.

2265
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:18,720
Speaker 8: You were starting to get run through. I was trying

Speaker 8: Yeah, they tried.

2270
01:42:34,399 --> 01:42:36,079

2271
01:42:36,159 --> 01:42:38,479
in twenty twenty two, Well, there.

Bets and the Red Sox and all that stuff. Uh yeah,

2274
01:42:49,159 --> 01:42:51,119
it was altovy. It was a home run, but they

2275
01:42:51,159 --> 01:42:53,319
overturned it anyway.

2276
01:42:53,279 --> 01:42:56,760
Speaker 4: For the H was in twenty twenty one for the H.

2277
01:42:57,119 --> 01:42:59,640
I like that one that much good.

2278
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:00,960
Speaker 5: I don't know.

2279
01:43:01,239 --> 01:43:04,199
Speaker 4: Tweet us at sports RV at Chris Gordy.

2280
01:43:05,239 --> 01:43:06,079
Speaker 8: What was last year?

2281
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:07,760
Speaker 4: Last year was relentless?

2282
01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:09,159
Speaker 8: Relentless?

2283
01:43:09,399 --> 01:43:14,119
Speaker 4: Oh eighteen was never settled, never settle. I just what

2284
01:43:14,279 --> 01:43:16,399
Google astros hashtags and I'm getting some of them.

2285
01:43:17,159 --> 01:43:19,720
Speaker 8: They've all been good. What was the Texans this year?

2286
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:24,279
Speaker 4: Each town made, Yes, each town made It's like CG.

2287
01:43:24,359 --> 01:43:28,000
Straws not from Agetown. What are we talking about?

2288
01:43:28,039 --> 01:43:28,680
Speaker 8: None of these guys.

2289
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:33,840
Speaker 4: Oh twenty twenty two was level up? Yeah, I forgot

2290
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:34,279
about that.

2291
01:43:35,439 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 5: That was okay.

2292
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:37,119
Speaker 4: It's fine.

2293
01:43:38,159 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 8: Rockets have lift off this year.

2294
01:43:40,319 --> 01:43:41,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like lyft off.

2295
01:43:43,359 --> 01:43:46,039
Speaker 8: What's next year? Boom? Hashtag boom?

2296
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:49,399
Speaker 4: No hashtag landing? What do you do after to lift off?

2297
01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 8: I don't know.

2298
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:52,640
Speaker 4: I'm confused.

2299
01:43:56,039 --> 01:44:00,520
Speaker 8: It's the twenty twenty five Houston Rocket season hashtag separates.

2300
01:44:01,159 --> 01:44:03,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I don't think it's gonna work. I don't

2301
01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:05,520
think the analogy works. It didn't carry that far.

2302
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 4: Gordy.

2303
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 5: All right.

2304
01:44:07,079 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 2: On that note, we're gonna take a break here on

2305
01:44:09,199 --> 01:44:11,399
The Mad Toms Show with Ross. Chris Cordy is at

Speaker 4: We're still in a holy pattern with Stu Gotts, folks,

So you gotta stay tuned here. On Sports Talk seven ninety,

2311
01:44:28,640 --> 01:44:30,439
Chrissa Thompson has canceled on us.

2312
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:32,359
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, look at that guy in Houston. Yeah,

2313
01:44:32,359 --> 01:44:33,920
we're not going over there. Let's tell them we're sick.

01:44:34,359 --> 01:44:36,520
So thanks for that, Gordy. We appreciate it. We'll have

Row in New Orleans. I am here in Houston and you.

01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 4: Can get in. Look, we're talking astros, talking about how

2318
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:46,560
do you feel about L two A and left field?

2319
01:44:46,800 --> 01:44:49,039
If you had to guess how many games is L

2320
01:44:49,079 --> 01:44:51,880
TWOV going to play in left what's gonna happen with

2321
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:54,880
the rest of the offseason? Rockets with the heartbreaking no

2322
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:58,239
I will say it, choking loss last night to the

2323
01:44:58,279 --> 01:45:00,840
Brooklyn Nets. Anything else you want to get into seven

2324
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:03,600
one three two one two five seven ninety seven one

2325
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:24,840
three two one two five seven ninety Welcome back here

2326
01:45:24,920 --> 01:45:26,920
on Sports Talk seven night, ROS VI Real with you

2327
01:45:28,159 --> 01:45:29,000
Chris Cordy as well.

2328
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 2: It is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Matt Thomas

2329
01:45:33,319 --> 01:45:37,960
is traveling with the Houston Rockets. They are on to

2330
01:45:38,119 --> 01:45:44,319
Minneapolis as they continue this grueling stretch, and I understand

2331
01:45:44,359 --> 01:45:46,680
there's maybe some of you're like, no excuses, blah blah blah.

2332
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:48,159
The team needs to win them, and I'm with you,

2333
01:45:48,279 --> 01:45:50,279
especially on that Brooklyn Nets game last night.

2334
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:52,560
Speaker 4: They need to win that game. They have to win

2335
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:53,520
that game. It's just.

2336
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the way that the Western Conference is tightly

2337
01:45:58,079 --> 01:46:01,119
compacted to where you're still of nipping on the heels

2338
01:46:01,239 --> 01:46:03,800
of the Memphis Grizzlies, but now full two games back

2339
01:46:03,880 --> 01:46:07,800
of them, so you need to catch them with the

2340
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:10,079
tiebreaker that you have. You just need to be even

2341
01:46:10,159 --> 01:46:13,479
in level with the Memphis Grizzlies. Nuggets are only one

2342
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,199
game back. They've won three in a row. Lakers just

2343
01:46:16,279 --> 01:46:19,000
got a guy named Luka Doncic and have won three

2344
01:46:19,079 --> 01:46:21,119
games in a row. As it as it is, I've

2345
01:46:21,159 --> 01:46:23,920
officially taken them off a fraud alert, of course, and

2346
01:46:24,359 --> 01:46:27,279
Rob Polinka agreeing with me that they weren't championship contenders

2347
01:46:27,279 --> 01:46:29,399
the way that they were comprised. But now they have

2348
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,319
Luka Doncic, and who knows if they're going to make

2349
01:46:31,319 --> 01:46:33,960
another piece, a move for another piece here in the

2350
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:34,920
next day or so.

2351
01:46:36,039 --> 01:46:37,399
Speaker 4: So the Western Conference is tough.

2352
01:46:38,079 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 2: Losing to the lowly Brooklyn Nets who are not even

2353
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:44,199
really trying to win and only playing three not playing

2354
01:46:44,239 --> 01:46:47,159
for three and a half quarters in that game certainly hurts.

2355
01:46:47,199 --> 01:46:48,920
You can get in at seven one three, two, one

2356
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:52,439
two five seven ninety seven to one three two one two,

2357
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:56,720
five seven to ninety the phone number as well Gordy

2358
01:46:57,119 --> 01:46:59,399
is joining us from New Orleans. He is down at

2359
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:02,680
Radio Row. Any more interesting sights and sounds out there

2360
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:04,960
in New Orleans? Gordian, did you pick up some crawfish?

2361
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:09,359
Speaker 8: I've not seen it a crawfish, No, but uh, there

2362
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:12,239
was a guy to my immediate left wearing a it

2363
01:47:12,399 --> 01:47:17,520
is a custom made tailor and Travis gold jacket he

2364
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:22,399
has made in honor of it says Travis and Taylor

2365
01:47:22,439 --> 01:47:23,800
and it has a picture of them kissing.

2366
01:47:24,359 --> 01:47:26,640
Speaker 4: What it's like, it's a it's a jacket.

2367
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's like a sports code, but it's sequenced.

2368
01:47:31,319 --> 01:47:37,319
Speaker 2: Gold, sequin gold, sequin jacket with Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift.

2369
01:47:38,079 --> 01:47:40,720
Speaker 8: And at the bottom it says swifty nine.

2370
01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:43,600
Speaker 4: All right, keep an eye on this guy. He's a psychopa.

2371
01:47:44,239 --> 01:47:45,239
This guy is crazy.

2372
01:47:46,439 --> 01:47:48,880
Speaker 8: Everyone is taking pictures of it. Like that's the funny

2373
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:51,199
thing about this. You want to get any attention, bring

2374
01:47:51,279 --> 01:47:53,359
anything that's slightly a spectacle.

2375
01:47:53,079 --> 01:47:56,680
Speaker 2: And you will get a million people. Yeah, we saw

2376
01:47:56,760 --> 01:47:58,640
that with the Asweiler can here in Houston.

2377
01:47:58,680 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 4: Correct.

2378
01:48:00,119 --> 01:48:06,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, yes, that was that was certainly one. There

2379
01:48:06,119 --> 01:48:10,239
was also when he dressed up like Mike Ditka. I

2380
01:48:10,319 --> 01:48:11,800
thought that was I thought that was funny.

2381
01:48:11,960 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people from Chicago really loved all that,

2382
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:16,960
all that good stuff. But are are we gonna get

2383
01:48:16,960 --> 01:48:18,760
you dressed up as anything while you're out there, Gordy?

2384
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,359
Speaker 8: I don't know. I should have like, here's what we

2385
01:48:21,399 --> 01:48:24,079
should have done hindsight. We should have found like Bounty

2386
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:26,760
as a sponsor, could have like paid for me to

2387
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:28,000
come dressed up as something.

2388
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:30,399
Speaker 4: How just said as a giant paper towel.

2389
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:30,640
Speaker 5: Roll?

2390
01:48:32,359 --> 01:48:35,479
Speaker 4: How about the bounty man in there? Bounty man like

2391
01:48:35,520 --> 01:48:37,439
a mustachio lumberjack or whatever.

2392
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:42,399
Speaker 8: Well, what about like Boudro's butt paste sponsors me and

2393
01:48:42,479 --> 01:48:45,520
I'm like dressed up like coaching. I dressed up like

2394
01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:47,560
coach O, and I do interviews as coach O.

2395
01:48:47,640 --> 01:48:49,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's have it. Let's have you know what, let's

2396
01:48:49,199 --> 01:48:51,119
do an audition for that Coacho. How are things out there?

2397
01:48:51,279 --> 01:48:53,319

Speaker 8: Roll?

2400
01:48:56,319 --> 01:48:58,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe you do have a future in this, Gordy.

2401
01:48:58,359 --> 01:49:00,840
Speaker 2: Maybe we can get that going by the way I

2402
01:49:00,960 --> 01:49:03,159
was getting to thinking, we get Nick Kayley is now

2403
01:49:03,199 --> 01:49:06,039
the offensive coordinator of the Houston Texans and you're down

2404
01:49:06,079 --> 01:49:07,920
there in the Super Bowl for Radio Row.

2405
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 4: If you had to guess, are we gonna be at

2406
01:49:11,079 --> 01:49:14,039
Radio Row covering the Texans anytime, and I will say

2407
01:49:14,039 --> 01:49:15,520
in the next three years.

2408
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:20,199
Speaker 8: In the Super Bowl. Yes, what are the future of

2409
01:49:20,279 --> 01:49:24,439
Super Bowl sites? I think what it's like Vegas again,

2410
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:27,880
I think so, well, that's true, they just went to Vegas.

2411
01:49:27,920 --> 01:49:29,479
Maybe I'm thinking the National Championship.

2412
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 4: Let's see Levi Stadium is next year.

2413
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:38,119
Speaker 8: Oh god, that I heard was the most expense the

2414
01:49:38,159 --> 01:49:39,880
people who went there for Super Bowl years ago and

2415
01:49:40,039 --> 01:49:43,359
National Championship was like, yeah, my hotel was nine hundred

2416
01:49:43,399 --> 01:49:46,880
a night and food every meal I had was one

2417
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:50,239
hundred and fifty dollars. Like Santa Clair is not a

2418
01:49:50,359 --> 01:49:51,119
cheap place to stay.

2419
01:49:51,319 --> 01:49:53,640
Speaker 2: It looks like the usual suspects coming up. So you're

2420
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:56,359
in New Orleans, which has hosted what like six seven

2421
01:49:56,479 --> 01:49:57,479
Super Bowls at this point.

2422
01:49:58,560 --> 01:50:00,760
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, they have the old ones like two Lane

2423
01:50:00,840 --> 01:50:01,880
Stadium back in the day.

2424
01:50:02,079 --> 01:50:04,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, go down to two Lane Stadium, kids the Super

2425
01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:06,439
Bowl and you.

2426
01:50:07,199 --> 01:50:08,880
Speaker 8: With a man with the half a foot kicked the

2427
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:10,600
game with a fel that's true.

2428
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Levi's Stadium next year, Santa Clara after that

2429
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:19,920
it'll be Sofi Stadium of course, l A and then

2430
01:50:20,039 --> 01:50:21,279
Mercedes Ben stadium.

2431
01:50:21,359 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, in Atlanta. So this is the next three.

2432
01:50:24,399 --> 01:50:27,239
Speaker 8: We may go to that one. Mark your calendar in

2433
01:50:27,399 --> 01:50:31,640
market calendar. That'll be c J. Stroud will be fully

2434
01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:37,439
established as a star quarterback and uh yeah, and so

2435
01:50:37,520 --> 01:50:38,439
we'll look forward to that one.

2436
01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:42,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest, I'm not super optimistic right now.

2437
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:46,399
Speaker 8: You have a few people about Nick Cayley and they

2438
01:50:46,439 --> 01:50:49,000
were like, yeah, I think he's good. Like nobody's like,

2439
01:50:49,600 --> 01:50:53,119
nobody's really stumping. It was like, yes, this is what

2440
01:50:53,319 --> 01:50:54,399
the Texans were missing.

2441
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:58,079
Speaker 2: Nobody is saying that the John Carroll graduate the Nick

2442
01:50:58,159 --> 01:51:00,560
Cassario when they went to the same school as Casario

2443
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:02,560
and they work together in the New England.

2444
01:51:03,279 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 8: A great James har James Harrison just walking by.

2445
01:51:08,119 --> 01:51:10,159
Speaker 2: Why don't you challenge him to an arm wrestling match?

2446
01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:12,520
Why did you get some real content for Sports Talk

2447
01:51:12,520 --> 01:51:13,279
seven ninety Gordy.

2448
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:16,239
Speaker 8: He's another one that looks angry. Like if you thought

2449
01:51:16,319 --> 01:51:18,920
Vince Wilford looked angry, James Harrison looked really angry.

2450
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:21,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, you should talk to him though, say heck, I

2451
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:23,039
bet you, I bet you I can arm wrestle you

2452
01:51:23,119 --> 01:51:24,399
and beat you. I bet you a six pack of

2453
01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:25,079
bounty wings.

2454
01:51:26,039 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 8: We also have Greg Olsen standing by.

2455
01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:29,680
Speaker 4: He's uh, oh, is he still pissed off?

2456
01:51:30,279 --> 01:51:32,239
Speaker 2: Is he wearing a shirt of like Tom Brady at

2457
01:51:32,279 --> 01:51:34,439
the combine, looking all squirrely.

2458
01:51:34,079 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 4: And and raggedy like a big X through m. Yeah. Man,

2459
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:40,359
he came out.

2460
01:51:40,239 --> 01:51:42,359
Speaker 2: Publicly talking about how he is mad that he got

2461
01:51:42,399 --> 01:51:44,319
off of those games and he's not working the Super

2462
01:51:44,359 --> 01:51:44,920
Bowl this year.

2463
01:51:45,720 --> 01:51:47,239
Speaker 4: Poor guy. He should.

2464
01:51:49,399 --> 01:51:52,760
Speaker 8: Be to be replaced by a guy who's not good

2465
01:51:53,159 --> 01:51:54,399
at this job, who's not as.

2466
01:51:54,319 --> 01:51:54,680
Speaker 4: Good as you.

2467
01:51:54,800 --> 01:51:56,319
Speaker 2: Oh, I just saw this picture you put up with

2468
01:51:56,359 --> 01:51:57,760
the Travis Kelcey swifty thing.

2469
01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh my god, this is this is ridiculous.

2470
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:05,119
Speaker 8: Oh the other parts of Super Bowl swifty nine is

2471
01:52:05,159 --> 01:52:05,680
what it says.

2472
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:06,560
Speaker 4: That's terrible.

2473
01:52:07,319 --> 01:52:09,800
Speaker 2: So I'm glad Greg greg Olsen at least gathered himself

2474
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:11,760
enough to get out there and stump for Fox Sports.

2475
01:52:13,159 --> 01:52:15,039
We should try to get him on. I'd like to

2476
01:52:15,079 --> 01:52:17,960
hear him all pissed off of Tom Brady taking his job.

2477
01:52:18,159 --> 01:52:19,920
He went from ten million dollars a year to three

2478
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:20,640
million dollars.

2479
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:25,720
Speaker 8: Well, he's doing DraftKings. Here's the thing ross the big

2480
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:28,880
name people they do all the big hitters, they do

2481
01:52:29,119 --> 01:52:31,960
very little on the local radio front.

2482
01:52:32,319 --> 01:52:33,600
Speaker 4: Use code nine eighty seven.

2483
01:52:34,359 --> 01:52:37,159
Speaker 2: DraftKings Pick six here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

2484
01:52:37,239 --> 01:52:40,520
Speaker 4: I got no problems with Draft Kings, bro no Born.

2485
01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 8: I'm saying, it's like they're like a national whatever.

2486
01:52:43,079 --> 01:52:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're on with Dan Patrick and whatever or whoever

2487
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:49,560
in national Jim Rum. But I mean we probably have

2488
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,039
as many listeners as Jim Rum does nationally at this point.

2489
01:52:52,279 --> 01:52:54,560
Speaker 4: Anybody ever listen to that show? Where's it even come on?

2490
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 8: No? I saw he didn't even come this year, Like,

2491
01:52:57,840 --> 01:52:59,279
they don't even have it in the budget to send

2492
01:52:59,359 --> 01:52:59,800
Jim Roman.

2493
01:53:00,239 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 4: Ouch.

2494
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 2: You're playing that paying that giant contract he probably signed.

2495
01:53:05,279 --> 01:53:06,960
That's not even getting any return on that.

2496
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:11,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, So we'll try to flex some people that I

2497
01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:13,199
just saw a couple buddies on one I know that

2498
01:53:13,239 --> 01:53:15,840
are here not really doing anything. My buddy Carter's here,

2499
01:53:15,880 --> 01:53:18,199
I May said him. I'm gonna say, Carter, I'll pay

2500
01:53:18,199 --> 01:53:19,800

2501
01:53:20,079 --> 01:53:20,960
Just go get us anybody.

2502
01:53:21,039 --> 01:53:21,640
Speaker 4: Yeah you should.

2503
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:23,960
Speaker 2: By the way, Sam is tweeting in he's wondering if

2504
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:25,800
you're able to get Taylor mathis on as a guest

2505
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:26,560
for Radio Row.

2506
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:29,920
Speaker 4: I've not seen her but that would be a great

2507
01:53:30,039 --> 01:53:36,000
hit because Matt exactly, that would be perfect.

2508
01:53:36,079 --> 01:53:38,000
Speaker 2: You know what we're putting you on, Taylor mathis watch

2509
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:40,560
get Her for some other show, not on the Matt

2510
01:53:40,600 --> 01:53:42,880
Thomas Show, and that would be hilarious.

2511
01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:48,279
Speaker 8: No, just the facts. He's on the Matt Thomas Show

2512
01:53:48,359 --> 01:53:49,079
the day he's off.

2513
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:53,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, hmmm, that would be perfect. That is a great

2514
01:53:53,199 --> 01:53:55,159
call by Sam there on Twitter.

2515
01:53:55,199 --> 01:53:55,520
Speaker 8: All right.

2516
01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:57,640
Speaker 2: Anyways, I was saying I was worried about the Texans

2517
01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:00,000
making the Super Bowl because let me just go through

2518
01:54:00,119 --> 01:54:05,000
this list for you, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,

2519
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:12,079
Joe Burrow, uh, and then CJ. Stroud and I don't

2520
01:54:12,079 --> 01:54:13,880
know what's gonna happen with otherthing. Maybe Drake may is

2521
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:17,640
gonna be up and coming. AFC is stacked, man. You

2522
01:54:17,720 --> 01:54:19,760
got like six of the top ten quarterbacks over here,

2523
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:22,119
and I guess, okay, that makes sense by conference mathematically

2524
01:54:22,159 --> 01:54:24,239
it's pretty close, but it's too much.

2525
01:54:24,319 --> 01:54:24,479
Speaker 8: Man.

2526
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm worried about the Texans and just because of how

2527
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,119
good the AFC is. The good news is none of

2528
01:54:31,159 --> 01:54:32,920
those guys are in the AFC South, so you should

2529
01:54:32,920 --> 01:54:34,159
be able to win the division and get in.

2530
01:54:34,159 --> 01:54:36,119
Speaker 4: The playoffs and roll the dice and something good can happen.

2531
01:54:37,199 --> 01:54:40,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just like it reminds me of you. We

2532
01:54:40,479 --> 01:54:43,399
didn't waste them, but like the Harden in Houston years

2533
01:54:44,119 --> 01:54:45,680
overlapped with the Golden.

2534
01:54:45,399 --> 01:54:48,239
Speaker 4: State, you were held back by dynasty.

2535
01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:50,760
Speaker 8: It sucks and so it may be one of these things.

2536
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:51,720
We'll look back down the road.

2537
01:54:51,800 --> 01:54:52,079
Speaker 5: Go man.

2538
01:54:52,199 --> 01:54:55,520
Speaker 8: CJ. Stroud was one of the best what ifs, but

2539
01:54:55,640 --> 01:54:57,039
he just played in the Pat Mahomes ever.

2540
01:54:57,479 --> 01:55:02,880
Speaker 4: Oh dude, it could happen. I mean, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley,

2541
01:55:03,319 --> 01:55:05,680
Karl Malone, John Stockton, they all have rings. If it's

2542
01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:07,720
not for Michael Jordan yep.

2543
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:08,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

2544
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:11,199
Speaker 4: All right now I've upset myself.

2545
01:55:11,239 --> 01:55:13,800

01:56:36,319 --> 01:56:36,880

Speaker 8: Uh okay, it's getting it's getting very busy.

2578
01:56:50,159 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 4: You said it was dying.

2579
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:56,199
Speaker 8: Well it's picking up again. Okay, all right, cool Greg

2580
01:56:56,359 --> 01:56:59,000
greg Olsen has developed quite a following of people.

2581
01:56:59,239 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 2: All right, people, there is everybody offering him condolences. Does

2582
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:05,159
he have like a tip jar out and to recruit

2583
01:57:05,199 --> 01:57:07,720
the seven million dollars he lost because of because of

2584
01:57:07,760 --> 01:57:08,319
Tom Brady.

2585
01:57:10,159 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 8: Brady's bad man. Like, I don't know how they're gonna

2586
01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:12,960
fix that.

2587
01:57:13,600 --> 01:57:14,319
Speaker 4: He's gonna get.

2588
01:57:15,720 --> 01:57:17,279
Speaker 8: Hall of Dudd broadcaster.

2589
01:57:17,680 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 2: All right, that's a little rude. By the way, I

2590
01:57:20,079 --> 01:57:22,479
saw something that made me laugh a couple of minutes ago.

2591
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:25,600
Did you see Tim McMahon, who's been covering the Mavericks.

2592
01:57:25,880 --> 01:57:28,359
He was a Mavericks guy only, and then of course

2593
01:57:28,720 --> 01:57:31,239
ESPN had massive layoffs. He's been covering the entire NBA,

2594
01:57:31,319 --> 01:57:34,159
but based out of Dallas. He just tweeted out a

2595
01:57:34,199 --> 01:57:36,680
link to his book about the Dallas Mavericks and building

2596
01:57:36,720 --> 01:57:38,159
and rebuilding with Luka Doncic.

2597
01:57:39,479 --> 01:57:41,239
Speaker 8: Oh, that's spad timing.

2598
01:57:41,479 --> 01:57:45,119
Speaker 2: I know he probably spent all these years here. Here,

2599
01:57:45,199 --> 01:57:49,159
here's Tim McMahon's tweet. My book The Wonder Boy, chronicling

2600
01:57:49,239 --> 01:57:51,840
all the drama and dysfunction as the MAVs scrambled to

2601
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:55,119
build a contender around Luka Dancic is available for pre order.

2602
01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:58,439
Speaker 8: Oh it's not even out now.

2603
01:57:58,960 --> 01:57:59,279
Speaker 12: I know.

2604
01:58:01,359 --> 01:58:03,439
Speaker 4: He's spent all this time writing this book.

2605
01:58:04,640 --> 01:58:06,960
Speaker 8: And what sucks is it probably already went to print,

2606
01:58:07,239 --> 01:58:08,640
Like he's it's already out.

2607
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:12,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're right, it will be so so

2608
01:58:12,079 --> 01:58:14,600
apparently he's writing a new He's like scrambling to write a.

2609
01:58:14,640 --> 01:58:17,079
Speaker 4: New chapter, is what he's saying.

2610
01:58:18,199 --> 01:58:19,840
Speaker 8: Uh oh oh he said that.

2611
01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's writing a new chapter. And if you pre

2612
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:25,720
order the book, you're gonna have to basically get it online.

2613
01:58:26,239 --> 01:58:31,039
Speaker 8: I guess wow. Oh yeah, he said last week's little

2614
01:58:31,039 --> 01:58:34,920
plot twist, I'm writing a final final chapter. Yeah. Well

2615
01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:37,359
that's good though, because then he can get Lakers fans

2616
01:58:37,399 --> 01:58:37,760
to buy it.

2617
01:58:38,720 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna buy this book.

2618
01:58:41,159 --> 01:58:43,039
Speaker 2: I feel bet Tim McMahon's a nice guy, at least

2619
01:58:43,039 --> 01:58:44,840
in my interactions with him. He does a great job

2620
01:58:44,920 --> 01:58:47,600
breaking news and has been covering the NBA beats for years.

2621
01:58:48,479 --> 01:58:54,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is bad luck. That's brutal. Oh my god,

2622
01:58:55,119 --> 01:58:59,359
that's really brutal. Oh my gosh. We should get him

2623
01:58:59,359 --> 01:59:01,319
on to try to talk about the book. He would

2624
01:59:01,359 --> 01:59:02,680
always come on. We can get him back in the

2625
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:06,119
day when he was ESPN Dallas. That would be like

2626
01:59:06,399 --> 01:59:08,520
he is the unluckiest man in America.

2627
01:59:10,159 --> 01:59:12,079
Speaker 8: That would be like a twenty eighteen you and I

2628
01:59:12,239 --> 01:59:16,520
getting together and writing a book about James Harden the

2629
01:59:16,680 --> 01:59:17,479
Rocket Savior.

2630
01:59:18,039 --> 01:59:18,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2631
01:59:18,399 --> 01:59:22,239
Speaker 8: Aw, he's face of this franchise, really taking things off

2632
01:59:22,319 --> 01:59:24,359
and now and then then they trade him.

2633
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:28,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you get blindsided by this trade that What

2634
01:59:28,920 --> 01:59:31,079
do you think was going through Tim McMahon's mind when

2635
01:59:31,119 --> 01:59:33,760
he saw Sham's post this, Oh my god, please, this

2636
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:34,359
can't be true.

2637
01:59:34,439 --> 01:59:35,800
Speaker 4: This can't be true. This can't be true.

2638
01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 8: That's hilarious.

2639
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:42,880
Speaker 2: Oh man, that is just that is all you talk

2640
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:47,039
about all time, bad beats. I'm clicking out, who hatchet

2641
01:59:47,159 --> 01:59:50,560
book group? These poor people at hatchet book groups are

2642

gonna have book like these things. They're just gonna ship

2643
01:59:53,159 --> 01:59:55,279
these the third world countries like they do with teams

2644
01:59:55,319 --> 01:59:57,119
that lose the championship.

2645
01:59:57,880 --> 02:00:00,279
Speaker 8: Like he has to have. He saw that, like he

2646
02:00:00,399 --> 02:00:04,000
gets that notification that that trade is happening, and like

2647
02:00:04,159 --> 02:00:08,560
all the blood just rushes to his face and he's like, no, no,

2648
02:00:08,920 --> 02:00:09,800
this can't be happening.

2649
02:00:10,000 --> 02:00:11,880
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Actually he put out a link from pre

2650
02:00:12,039 --> 02:00:14,159
orders in November, so this has been in the works.

2651
02:00:14,920 --> 02:00:17,560
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, no, if he if he's taking pre orders

2652
02:00:17,600 --> 02:00:20,760
in November and it's February and it's released in March.

2653
02:00:21,199 --> 02:00:25,439
Those books are all printed. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna have

2654
02:00:25,479 --> 02:00:28,640
to do a an online final chapter.

2655
02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:29,000
Speaker 5: Added.

2656
02:00:29,720 --> 02:00:36,079
Speaker 4: Oh man, this is bad. I don't even know what

2657
02:00:36,159 --> 02:00:36,479
to say.

2658
02:00:37,640 --> 02:00:37,840
Speaker 8: Wow.

2659
02:00:37,960 --> 02:00:40,119
Speaker 2: Luka Donch is the Laker and Tim mcmanon is gonna

2660
02:00:40,119 --> 02:00:41,880
have a lot of extra He's gonna be handing them

2661
02:00:41,880 --> 02:00:43,920
out like he might come to Radio row On next

2662
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:45,560
year and hand you out a bunch of free books.

2663
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:47,720
Speaker 4: He's gonna have to do something.

2664
02:00:48,199 --> 02:00:51,399
Speaker 8: And it's him. It's called the Wonder Boy and it's

2665
02:00:51,520 --> 02:00:53,560
him in a Dallas jersey.

2666
02:00:53,239 --> 02:00:55,479
Speaker 4: On the cover, Like, no, did you see the under

2667
02:00:55,520 --> 02:00:57,359
the like the what do they call it? The second title,

2668
02:00:57,439 --> 02:01:01,319
the secondary title or whatever? The Wonder Boy, Luca Doncheinton,

2669
02:01:01,399 --> 02:01:02,600
the Curse of Greatness.

2670
02:01:03,479 --> 02:01:07,079
Speaker 8: Oh well, it's a curse all right.

2671
02:01:07,720 --> 02:01:09,520
Speaker 4: They need to give fifty percent off on these pre

2672
02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:10,760
orders or something.

2673
02:01:12,439 --> 02:01:16,760
Speaker 8: My god, that's wrong. I'm trying to think of, Like, oh,

2674
02:01:16,840 --> 02:01:18,439
I know, what if we had written a book about

2675
02:01:20,039 --> 02:01:23,479
the next great Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is already

2676
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:25,119
cementing his legacy in Houston.

2677
02:01:25,520 --> 02:01:30,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty good. And then he just gets completely

2678
02:01:30,279 --> 02:01:32,600
traded away and he's gone.

2679
02:01:33,159 --> 02:01:37,479
Speaker 8: For a back of potato chips. Man, Oh, could he pivot?

2680
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:40,560
Could he put Anthony Davis on the cover and making

2681
02:01:40,640 --> 02:01:45,239
that Wonder Boy? I don't think so, the WonderBoy, the Mavericks,

2682
02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:46,560
Anthony Davis.

2683
02:01:47,840 --> 02:01:51,159
Speaker 4: That's a shame. Poor Tim mcmon, nice guy.

2684
02:01:52,119 --> 02:01:53,960
Speaker 8: I was working on that Kyle Tucker book too.

2685
02:01:54,199 --> 02:01:57,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were about that, see, but that was smart.

2686
02:01:57,319 --> 02:01:58,880
Speaker 2: Look at least you would know if you're writing a

2687
02:01:58,920 --> 02:02:01,000
Kyle Tucker book, you know he's probably not staying here

2688
02:02:01,039 --> 02:02:04,199
long term. This is a complete blind side job. This

2689
02:02:04,399 --> 02:02:07,720
is completely out of nowhere. You figure Luca's about to

2690
02:02:07,760 --> 02:02:10,000
sign the Supermax. He's twenty five years old and you're

2691
02:02:10,079 --> 02:02:10,760
keeping him forever.

2692
02:02:12,520 --> 02:02:14,359
Speaker 8: Did you see? There was a lot of damage control

2693
02:02:14,439 --> 02:02:16,359
coming out to Dallas too, and like, oh, no, I

2694
02:02:16,479 --> 02:02:20,159
heard he's an alcoholic. He's I heard he's overweight.

2695
02:02:20,439 --> 02:02:20,640
Speaker 4: Yeh.

2696
02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:21,880
Speaker 8: Work ethics terrible.

2697
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:24,199
Speaker 2: I mean, he's fat, he's three hundred pounds, he's got

2698
02:02:24,199 --> 02:02:26,840
an alcohol problem, he won't take he we got him

2699
02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:29,039
on ozempic and he's got.

2700
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:32,119
Speaker 4: Zero work ethic. They're doing, Yeah, they're doing everything they can.

2701
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:37,039
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm like, nobody out there would would listen

2702
02:02:37,119 --> 02:02:39,000
to that and still be like, oh you know, or

2703
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:40,680
it would be like I don't want him, like everyone

2704
02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:41,520
would still take him.

2705
02:02:41,560 --> 02:02:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, at the end of the day, you still could

2706
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:44,760
have gotten like ten first round picks for him.

2707
02:02:45,199 --> 02:02:46,159
Speaker 4: It makes no sense.

2708
02:02:46,680 --> 02:02:48,960
Speaker 8: That's the dumbest thing. I mean, like, that's collusion, man,

2709
02:02:49,079 --> 02:02:54,199
that's that was that reeks of we wanted massive superstar

2710
02:02:54,439 --> 02:02:56,960
in La Lakers.

2711
02:02:57,079 --> 02:02:59,000
Speaker 4: I can't believe this has got approved by anybody.

2712
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:02,600
Speaker 2: I mean, Adam Silver's not gonna If this trade was

2713
02:03:02,600 --> 02:03:04,920
select the Utah Jazz, Adam Silver might go ahead and

2714
02:03:05,199 --> 02:03:05,800
like veto of.

2715
02:03:05,800 --> 02:03:07,880
Speaker 4: The trade, but it ain't happening.

2716
02:03:07,880 --> 02:03:09,920
Speaker 2: If it's going to the Los Angeles Lakers for Luca

2717
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:14,960
Donchets in the next ten years, insane, all right?

2718
02:03:15,359 --> 02:03:17,800
Speaker 8: Or Tim McMahon, So one more time for Tim McMahon.

2719
02:03:17,840 --> 02:03:20,920
The book plug It is called The Wonder Boy with

2720
02:03:21,159 --> 02:03:24,520

2721
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:28,399
all about how he's changing the tide of the Dallas Mavericks.

2722
02:03:29,439 --> 02:03:29,720
Speaker 4: Hmm.

2723
02:03:31,279 --> 02:03:33,039
Speaker 2: And if you order the book I currently are gonna

Tim all right, time for a quick break here.

2728
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:42,079
you to read about him leaving.

2729
02:03:42,239 --> 02:03:43,840
Speaker 4: That was what you're gonna do. You're gonna be able

2730
02:03:43,880 --> 02:03:46,039
to sell a thousands of the two thousand of these, however,

02:03:46,079 --> 02:03:48,279
many books of these in Dallas and now they're not

02:03:48,319 --> 02:03:51,039

02:04:50,159 --> 02:04:52,239
City Chiefs taking on the Philadelphia Eagles.

2754
02:04:53,960 --> 02:04:55,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, Man, I was gonna say, I'm so excited for

2755
02:04:55,680 --> 02:04:59,199
the game, and then I was gonna ask who's playing again? Yeah,

2756

I mean I don't. I'm I'm in one cup. Feeling

2757
02:05:03,880 --> 02:05:07,840
the over exposure, if you will, of the Kansas City Chiefs.

2758
02:05:08,399 --> 02:05:09,960
I think a lot of people are wanting to go,

2759
02:05:11,079 --> 02:05:12,600
like a lot of people are wanting to root Eagles

2760
02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:15,000
because they're like, I'm done with the Chiefs. But then

2761
02:05:15,079 --> 02:05:17,880
part of me kind of wants the history of Mahomes

2762
02:05:17,920 --> 02:05:19,600
to get what would it be his fourth ring?

2763
02:05:20,159 --> 02:05:23,279
Speaker 4: It'd be his fourth ring, dude, in seven years as starter.

2764
02:05:23,880 --> 02:05:26,680
Speaker 8: The chasing Brady and all that. I just think it's

2765
02:05:26,760 --> 02:05:31,039
hilarious because I was at the Texas Ball whatever year

2766
02:05:31,119 --> 02:05:36,600
that was fourteen in Houston watching this dinky Texas Tech

2767
02:05:36,680 --> 02:05:40,760
quarterback Lsu just get after it. Leonard Fournette was the

2768
02:05:40,800 --> 02:05:43,119
headliner that day. He rushed for like two hundred yards

2769
02:05:43,199 --> 02:05:46,560
or something, and then LSU had built this monster lead.

2770
02:05:47,039 --> 02:05:48,800
Then they started giving up big chunk place of the

2771
02:05:48,840 --> 02:05:51,319
air because they're like, well, this game's in hand, and

2772
02:05:51,399 --> 02:05:53,600
then like Mahomes finished with like four hundred yards or something.

2773
02:05:53,680 --> 02:05:56,920
It was like it was the most underwhelming four hundred yards.

2774
02:05:57,359 --> 02:06:00,239
I just remember my thought after that game, going, yeah,

2775
02:06:00,239 --> 02:06:02,159
that's cute. I mean, we'll see if that guy gets

2776
02:06:02,279 --> 02:06:04,720
gets on a practice squad or something. And then on

2777
02:06:04,960 --> 02:06:08,880
Radio Row that year, we had Lee Steinberg and we

2778
02:06:08,960 --> 02:06:11,279
were scheduled with Lee and we had a couple of

2779
02:06:11,359 --> 02:06:14,479
his clients, and last minute they reach out, they go, hey,

2780
02:06:14,920 --> 02:06:18,520
would you be okay? Lee's gonna come on with his client,

2781
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:21,720
Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes. We just figured, because it's Houston,

2782
02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:24,199
it's a Texas market, we'll put them on. And I

2783
02:06:24,399 --> 02:06:26,520
was like, yeah, I guess you know, we were hoping

2784
02:06:26,600 --> 02:06:29,760
to talk with Lee, but we'll put this Patrick Mahomes

2785
02:06:29,840 --> 02:06:32,119
kid onto sure, And so we had them all with

2786
02:06:32,199 --> 02:06:32,760
Gregor and d.

2787
02:06:32,960 --> 02:06:36,479
Speaker 4: Then he ground like that text day yeah, and he

2788
02:06:36,600 --> 02:06:37,439
was just and it was just.

2789
02:06:37,479 --> 02:06:40,680
Speaker 8: Funny because I have the pictures, Russ, there's nobody behind us,

2790
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:43,560
Like there was no mob, there was no attention at

2791
02:06:43,600 --> 02:06:47,359
all and and fast forward whatever it's been eight years,

2792
02:06:47,920 --> 02:06:52,079
ten years, and now this guy's literally like a never

2793
02:06:52,159 --> 02:06:54,439
We never thought there would be anybody in our lifetime

2794
02:06:54,560 --> 02:06:56,760
give a run for their money at Tom Brady for

2795
02:06:56,840 --> 02:07:00,119
the greatest ever play. And I mean, if Mahome the

2796
02:07:00,119 --> 02:07:03,279
one's that on Sunday, he will absolutely be in the

2797
02:07:03,399 --> 02:07:07,680
driver's seat, barring catastrophic career into injury to do that.

2798
02:07:08,159 --> 02:07:13,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy how he's pacing. That'll be interesting to see.

2799
02:07:13,239 --> 02:07:15,800
Andy Reid did say he's coming back next year. But

2800
02:07:16,039 --> 02:07:19,279
how much longer can Andy Reid coach? He's sixty seven

2801
02:07:19,399 --> 02:07:22,359
years old. He's the second oldest coach in football. He

2802
02:07:22,479 --> 02:07:25,079
was the oldest until the Raiders went out and hired

2803
02:07:25,159 --> 02:07:28,520
Pete Carroll's seventy three. So I wonder how much this

2804
02:07:28,640 --> 02:07:32,119
train can keep going and what the situation will be

2805
02:07:32,159 --> 02:07:34,439
when when they try to find a new coach. Generally

2806
02:07:34,479 --> 02:07:36,520
in the NFL, when you're looking for a new head coach,

2807
02:07:36,800 --> 02:07:39,399
it's because somebody's gotten fired and you're looking for like.

2808
02:07:39,399 --> 02:07:40,960
Speaker 4: The next up and coming guy. You're picking up.

2809
02:07:40,880 --> 02:07:43,880
Speaker 2: Scraps or whatever. You're like, we got to find somebody.

2810
02:07:44,439 --> 02:07:46,960
Whenever Andy Reid decides to retire and hang them up.

2811
02:07:47,479 --> 02:07:50,760
It will be after one of the greatest head coaching

2812
02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:53,359
careers in NFL history, and they'll be picking up the

2813
02:07:53,359 --> 02:07:55,920
pieces and with Pat Mahomes I imagine still in position

2814
02:07:56,000 --> 02:07:56,640
to be a contender.

2815
02:07:57,720 --> 02:08:01,399
Speaker 8: And isn't it wild how the how the narrative changed,

2816
02:08:01,760 --> 02:08:05,399
How it went from he like Andy Reid and Philly

2817
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:07,920
was like the guy who just couldn't get over the hump. Yeah,

2818
02:08:08,279 --> 02:08:11,560
he had all those NFC Championship Game appearances with Eagles,

2819
02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:15,720
but they'd always lose and always come up short. But

2820
02:08:17,039 --> 02:08:19,359
now he's in Kansas City and he can't lose. Like

2821
02:08:19,479 --> 02:08:21,359
it's like they just keep getting the Super Bowl every year.

2822
02:08:21,920 --> 02:08:24,239
Speaker 2: We spent all this time talking about Andy Reiding like

2823
02:08:24,359 --> 02:08:27,119
clock management issues and he can't do this, and then

2824
02:08:27,319 --> 02:08:29,720
he snaked bit and then all of a sudden, you know,

2825
02:08:29,880 --> 02:08:31,840
it all matters. It's like for the people to say, oh,

2826
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:34,039
is it tom Brady's at Belichick or it's all tom Brady,

2827
02:08:34,159 --> 02:08:36,119
or it's all you know. Nobody ever says it's all

2828
02:08:36,119 --> 02:08:38,119
Belichick anymore, because Tom Brady won one with the Tampa

2829
02:08:38,119 --> 02:08:38,720
Bay Buccaneers.

2830
02:08:38,760 --> 02:08:40,119
Speaker 4: But that was a debate at one point in.

2831
02:08:40,159 --> 02:08:43,239
Speaker 2: Time, because but remember Belichick had the points in his

2832
02:08:43,319 --> 02:08:45,960
favor because with Tom Brady out, they went like eleven

2833
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:47,920
and five with Matt Castle as the quarterback.

2834
02:08:48,720 --> 02:08:51,199
Speaker 4: So it takes a lot, It takes a lot of luck.

2835
02:08:51,600 --> 02:08:52,760
You got to win the games.

2836
02:08:53,039 --> 02:08:54,720
Speaker 2: You got to have a great defense, which the Kansas

2837
02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:56,920
City Chiefs have had the last couple of years as well,

2838
02:08:57,479 --> 02:08:59,439
because it hasn't been you know, Pat Mahomes getting all

2839
02:08:59,439 --> 02:09:02,680
the headlines. He had a mediocre season and they went

2840
02:09:02,720 --> 02:09:04,760
fifteen and one in games they actually tried to win.

2841
02:09:05,279 --> 02:09:07,199
A lot of has to be the backs of the defense.

2842
02:09:07,239 --> 02:09:08,239
And I think that is kind of one of the

2843
02:09:08,319 --> 02:09:11,439
underrated storylines, at least from the general public. People who

2844
02:09:11,520 --> 02:09:13,560
know and watch football know that this Chief defense is

2845
02:09:13,640 --> 02:09:16,159
legit and for real, and we know that here in Houston.

2846
02:09:16,760 --> 02:09:19,800
But if Pat Mahomes Travis Kelson getting all the headlines,

2847
02:09:20,039 --> 02:09:22,840
this Chief defense the last couple of years has really

2848
02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:24,279
been how they've been winning.

2849
02:09:25,560 --> 02:09:25,760
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2850
02:09:26,079 --> 02:09:27,560
Speaker 8: I mean we saw that first an in just a

2851
02:09:27,600 --> 02:09:30,680
couple of weeks ago, Texans and Kansas City and it

2852
02:09:30,880 --> 02:09:33,000
just it sucks so bad ross because they cut that

2853
02:09:33,159 --> 02:09:36,079
drive out of the halftime right they come out that

2854
02:09:36,359 --> 02:09:39,760
Texans go right down the field, Joe Mixon touchdown, they

2855
02:09:39,840 --> 02:09:43,520
missed the pat Yeah, but you're right back in that game,

2856
02:09:44,279 --> 02:09:48,720
and the Chiefs defense just they could he couldn't move

2857
02:09:48,760 --> 02:09:52,159
the ball. And then then Strat just starts getting sacked, sacked, sacked.

2858
02:09:52,880 --> 02:09:54,359
It's miserable. Yeah.

2859
02:09:55,319 --> 02:09:58,760
Speaker 2: So super Bowl Fever maybe not taking over for a

2860
02:09:58,800 --> 02:10:01,000
lot of people, but we're closer and close, and I'm

2861
02:10:01,039 --> 02:10:02,960
with you. I think, to me, it's the way I

2862
02:10:03,039 --> 02:10:06,520
get most interested in. This is the history angle Kansas

2863
02:10:06,560 --> 02:10:09,199
to Kansas City, Chiefs win three straight.

2864
02:10:09,319 --> 02:10:11,000
Speaker 4: I know there is a lot of Chiefs fatigue.

2865
02:10:11,600 --> 02:10:14,239
Speaker 2: There is a lot of people who think that the

2866
02:10:14,399 --> 02:10:18,279
NFL is is rigging the games, which, by the way,

2867
02:10:18,279 --> 02:10:20,359
if you think they're rigging it for Kansas City, Missouri,

2868
02:10:20,399 --> 02:10:23,359
you're an idiot. And if you think Jerry Jones and

2869
02:10:23,560 --> 02:10:25,479
Cal McNair and the rest of the league is agreeing

2870
02:10:25,479 --> 02:10:28,279
to allow this league to be rigged so that Kansas

2871
02:10:28,319 --> 02:10:29,279
City can get all the.

2872
02:10:29,279 --> 02:10:33,840
Speaker 8: Super Bowls, you're an idiot. Exactly, it's gonna put it in.

2873
02:10:34,039 --> 02:10:36,760
I talked to somebody about that yesterday. They were asking

2874
02:10:36,800 --> 02:10:39,359
me about we they think the NFL's rigged, and all

2875
02:10:39,479 --> 02:10:42,640
I'm like, look, it's it's rigged from a standpoint of

2876
02:10:43,439 --> 02:10:45,479
stars get calls. But that's in every sport.

2877
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:46,840
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Here's Tom.

2878
02:10:46,720 --> 02:10:49,439
Speaker 8: Brady was always well protected that if she even stiff

2879
02:10:49,439 --> 02:10:51,239
thought him, that was coming to personal foul. And so yeah,

2880
02:10:51,279 --> 02:10:54,399
when when he takes off a running and two Texans

2881
02:10:54,439 --> 02:10:57,880
defenders collide on top of him, they personal foul. That's

2882
02:10:57,920 --> 02:11:00,760
not cheating, that's just this is how it is. Lebron

2883
02:11:00,840 --> 02:11:03,039
gets calls in the NBA. It's just that's how it goes.

2884
02:11:03,600 --> 02:11:07,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean pictures, great pictures, get greater, better strike zones, yep,

2885
02:11:07,520 --> 02:11:08,119
more disciplined.

2886
02:11:09,119 --> 02:11:12,399
Speaker 8: How many Verlander borderline strikes does he walk off the

2887
02:11:12,439 --> 02:11:14,520
mound and then empire goes right?

2888
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:18,159
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Greg Maddox back in the day, Greg Maddickson is

2889
02:11:18,319 --> 02:11:20,359
like the sign of the size of a barn door,

2890
02:11:21,560 --> 02:11:23,800
his his strike zone. It's it's just the way that

2891
02:11:23,880 --> 02:11:26,560
it is. It's the way of the world, the Chiefs.

2892
02:11:26,640 --> 02:11:28,920
You want to get superstar calls, you gotta have some superstars.

2893
02:11:29,720 --> 02:11:30,159
Speaker 4: It happened.

2894
02:11:30,199 --> 02:11:32,439
Speaker 2: We complained here in Houston about all the calls that

2895
02:11:32,479 --> 02:11:34,239
everybody else got, and then when James Harden was here,

2896
02:11:34,439 --> 02:11:36,000
that dude was getting ten calls a night.

2897
02:11:38,079 --> 02:11:41,159
Speaker 8: Well, I'd love it. If Superstar left tackled Laramie Tunsick

2898
02:11:41,159 --> 02:11:42,399
could get some calls, that'd be great.

2899
02:11:42,479 --> 02:11:44,239
Speaker 4: Well, actually he does get away with some of the

2900
02:11:44,439 --> 02:11:48,960
some fall stars quite frankly, he does. There's sometimes he

2901
02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:51,039
should have had more than he had. He likes to

2902
02:11:51,199 --> 02:11:53,239
for what I mean, he likes to live on the

2903
02:11:53,319 --> 02:11:55,479
razor's edge as far as timing the snap count and

2904
02:11:56,119 --> 02:11:58,439
making sure he's off there right at the snapcount to

2905
02:11:58,479 --> 02:12:01,000
help him out with keep his I can pressure rate down,

2906
02:12:01,039 --> 02:12:04,600
which I'm sure he's acutely aware of. And sometimes he

2907
02:12:04,720 --> 02:12:07,640
jumps off sides and I think I have seen several

2908
02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:09,880
times this year where he he gets a little bit

2909
02:12:09,960 --> 02:12:11,319
borderline and doesn't get called.

2910
02:12:13,800 --> 02:12:17,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, well let's see, let's see if Stroud starts getting

2911
02:12:17,600 --> 02:12:21,640
some Superstar calls. Calls, Let's see if let's see if

2912
02:12:21,640 --> 02:12:23,600
some of our rockets can get some Superstar calls. I

2913
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:24,159
want to see that.

2914
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:27,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be nice. All we have a trade, uh

2915
02:12:27,840 --> 02:12:29,680
a rocket NBA trade?

2916
02:12:30,479 --> 02:12:30,640
Speaker 8: Yes?

2917
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:33,359
Speaker 4: Is it a breaking new sound or worthy?

2918
02:12:34,119 --> 02:12:34,159
Speaker 5: No?

Speaker 4: Oh, Tommy Devino's agent. Yes, what's he doing? He got rounds?

2927
02:13:03,720 --> 02:13:05,079
Didn't he get fired by timing to me?

Speaker 8: The Pelicans Norman's Pelicans are trading center Daniel Tice the.

2937
02:13:24,359 --> 02:13:27,399
Speaker 4: Oklahoma City Thunder Rockets legend.

2938
02:13:28,560 --> 02:13:30,039
Speaker 8: So the thunder get even deeper?

2939
02:13:30,439 --> 02:13:30,560
Speaker 3: Is that?

2940
02:13:30,840 --> 02:13:34,039
Speaker 4: That's interesting? Is Isaiah Hartenstein know he's been hurt. They

2941
02:13:34,119 --> 02:13:35,680
think he's gonna be out for a while or something.

2942
02:13:38,640 --> 02:13:41,159
Speaker 8: Well, he's their starter, but Jalen isn't Jalen Williams.

2943
02:13:41,880 --> 02:13:44,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't know if they've had some injury

2944
02:13:44,159 --> 02:13:46,199
issues or what. I'm not keeping track of the thunder

2945
02:13:46,239 --> 02:13:47,279
as much as maybe I should.

2946
02:13:48,279 --> 02:13:51,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, well they just got deeper. So good luck to them.

2947
02:13:52,119 --> 02:13:55,119
Speaker 4: And Daniel's heists not that great, that's fine. Rockets legend.

2948
02:13:55,159 --> 02:13:57,159
Speaker 8: No, but he's but he's like a decent guy off

2949
02:13:57,199 --> 02:13:58,039
the bad He's.

2950
02:13:57,880 --> 02:14:02,600
Speaker 2: A decent depth center. That's okay. So the Thunder is strong,

2951
02:14:02,720 --> 02:14:05,479
the Thunder winning the West. If you ask me, I

2952
02:14:05,600 --> 02:14:08,239
just don't see another team. Maybe maybe the Nuggets.

2953
02:14:08,279 --> 02:14:10,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a that's this bold of a prediction as

2954
02:14:10,760 --> 02:14:13,960
guy yesterday that that Alex Bregman would signed with a team.

2955
02:14:14,159 --> 02:14:17,079
Speaker 2: Hey, come on, mine's a little bit more bold. Nuggets

2956
02:14:17,119 --> 02:14:20,319
could be plucky, and I just don't think the Rockets

2957
02:14:20,319 --> 02:14:26,199
are there yet. Grizzlies me, we'll see. Look at Donches Lakers.

2958
02:14:26,239 --> 02:14:27,399
Speaker 4: I'll be curious to see what they do in the

2959
02:14:27,439 --> 02:14:31,319
next couple of days because they need front court players.

2960
02:14:32,800 --> 02:14:34,039
Who's and there.

2961
02:14:35,960 --> 02:14:39,720
Speaker 8: There's the whole talk of would they trade for you know,

2962
02:14:40,159 --> 02:14:44,720
Kevin Durant. Yeah, well no, the Warriors gonna trade yeah,

2963
02:14:44,880 --> 02:14:46,439
Ad Durant or some superstar.

2964
02:14:47,479 --> 02:14:47,680

3015
02:17:35,360 --> 02:17:36,840

Friday classes.

3031
02:18:13,159 --> 02:18:15,760
Speaker 2: It was introduction to advertising. He would show him about

3032
02:18:15,799 --> 02:18:16,959
thirty thirty five minutes in.

3033
02:18:19,840 --> 02:18:22,200
Speaker 8: I had the same similar experience with a lot of

3034
02:18:22,239 --> 02:18:25,479
my guys at LSU. They would there were coaches who

3035
02:18:25,479 --> 02:18:28,479
would come around and check through the window for attendance

3036
02:18:28,719 --> 02:18:32,959
and early ducet former first round picks like a round

3037
02:18:33,000 --> 02:18:36,000
pick wide receiver. He he was not in class a

3038
02:18:36,040 --> 02:18:38,159
lot hm and he.

3039
02:18:38,239 --> 02:18:40,280
Speaker 4: Was even on test day. And then one time there

3040
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:42,600
was when they were it was oh you week and they're.

3041
02:18:42,360 --> 02:18:44,559
Speaker 2: Going to play OU and the professor was like, uh,

3042
02:18:44,639 --> 02:18:47,399
I want to wish a good luck to the quarterback.

3043
02:18:47,959 --> 02:18:49,920
Speaker 4: This is this weekend in Dallas. I'm like, dude, he

3044
02:18:49,959 --> 02:18:54,280
ain't here, he wasn't in there. That was pretty funny.

3045
02:18:56,079 --> 02:18:56,879
Championship though.

3046
02:18:56,920 --> 02:18:59,440
Speaker 8: He get he gets a pass, right, I mean absolutely,

3047
02:19:00,040 --> 02:19:01,920
just give them straight out and do whatever he wants.

3048
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:04,399
Speaker 4: Look, look, and we might going to delude myself to

3049
02:19:04,479 --> 02:19:04,719
think of that.

3050
02:19:04,799 --> 02:19:07,079
Speaker 2: Big time players at Texas Football are taking all their

3051
02:19:07,120 --> 02:19:11,120
classes and tests. Of course not. It's happening everywhere. It's

3052
02:19:11,120 --> 02:19:14,159
happening at LSU. You have aged got deemed for it,

3053
02:19:14,239 --> 02:19:17,440
didn't they didn't They get some kind of NCAA violation

3054
02:19:17,559 --> 02:19:19,440
for players taking their tests or something like that.

3055
02:19:20,280 --> 02:19:23,680
Speaker 8: You have hed it, Yes, I didn't hear that. I

3056
02:19:23,719 --> 02:19:25,120
remember North Carolina had that.

3057
02:19:25,719 --> 02:19:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go twenty twenty in fractions report, one

3058
02:19:32,440 --> 02:19:34,719
year of probation, five thousand dollars.

3059
02:19:34,799 --> 02:19:40,120
Speaker 4: Fine, it was, Yeah, that was in twenty twenty.

3060
02:19:40,559 --> 02:19:44,239
Speaker 8: Back in the day. Everybody gets a pass for twenty.

3061
02:19:44,120 --> 02:19:47,879
Speaker 4: Twenty academic misconduct, that's what it was called.

3062
02:19:50,479 --> 02:19:53,280
Speaker 8: So I'm a who will have a bigger year this year?

3063
02:19:54,079 --> 02:19:57,559
Ross arch Manning at Texas or Connor Wegman at you of.

3064
02:19:57,719 --> 02:20:01,920
Speaker 2: H I'm gonna say arch Manning because he's the higher

3065
02:20:02,520 --> 02:20:06,239
pedigreed prospect but also, can I tell you I'm a

3066
02:20:06,239 --> 02:20:09,159
little bit worried, Like if if March Manning was just

3067
02:20:09,280 --> 02:20:12,280
all that, no doubt about it, can't can't be stop quarterback,

3068
02:20:12,319 --> 02:20:14,600
wouldn't Steve starkeising have put him in at some point?

3069
02:20:17,200 --> 02:20:19,600
Speaker 8: Well, Quinn Yours was supposed to be pretty damn good.

3070
02:20:19,719 --> 02:20:21,360
Speaker 5: So he was supposed to be but he was.

3071
02:20:21,479 --> 02:20:26,399
Speaker 2: He was good, nut great. That's how describe quinn Ewers, like,

3072
02:20:26,680 --> 02:20:31,239
maybe really good. He was good enough if everybody around

3073
02:20:31,360 --> 02:20:34,600
him was good enough to win, to win a national championship,

3074
02:20:35,079 --> 02:20:38,760
but you weren't gonna necessarily win because of quinn Ewers.

3075
02:20:38,799 --> 02:20:40,760
Now they won the Arizona State Game because of him,

3076
02:20:41,120 --> 02:20:43,079
but those moments felt a little bit too far and

3077
02:20:43,159 --> 02:20:43,680
few between.

3078
02:20:47,239 --> 02:20:49,479
Speaker 8: Well, well, lest Jalen Ford when he thinks of Quinn

3079

3208
02:26:39,719 --> 02:26:41,479
Speaker 15: So if you actually have something like a Super Bowl,

3209
02:26:41,520 --> 02:26:44,319
it's quite a party. Yeah, it's uh, it's it's fun

3210
02:26:44,399 --> 02:26:46,079
to have you on. We're running through all your accolades.

3211
02:26:46,120 --> 02:26:49,360
I mean obviously National champion, Heisman Trophy, winning all this.

3212
02:26:49,520 --> 02:26:52,120
But the thing when I saw you were in Houston

3213
02:26:52,120 --> 02:26:54,719
a few weeks ago playing pickle ball, how are how

3214
02:26:55,120 --> 02:26:56,280
how good are you at pickle ball?

3215
02:26:57,120 --> 02:26:57,319
Speaker 6: Well?

3216
02:26:57,559 --> 02:27:00,600
Speaker 5: Uh, pickleball is kind of on the professor side is

3217
02:27:00,600 --> 02:27:03,200
a little bit like golf. You've got professional.

3218
02:27:02,840 --> 02:27:04,920
Speaker 18: Pickleball players which are like the best in the world,

3219
02:27:05,399 --> 02:27:07,360
and then there's a senior pro league.

3220
02:27:07,360 --> 02:27:09,799
Speaker 5: When you hit fifty, okay, so still pretty good, but

3221
02:27:09,959 --> 02:27:10,760
not that good.

3222
02:27:11,079 --> 02:27:13,520
Speaker 18: So I just turned fifty and I played a year

3223
02:27:13,600 --> 02:27:15,680
on the senior pro level, had a really good season,

3224
02:27:15,760 --> 02:27:19,000
and just really really love it. It's a fantastic sport.

3225
02:27:19,399 --> 02:27:22,399
Anyone can play it, and it's just it's it's been

3226
02:27:22,440 --> 02:27:23,600
a great blessing for my life.

3227
02:27:23,760 --> 02:27:26,559
Speaker 8: You say you just turned fifty, not to say you're old.

3228
02:27:26,920 --> 02:27:28,840
But when you say that makes us all feel old

3229
02:27:28,840 --> 02:27:31,399
because we remember watching you play, and now we all

3230
02:27:31,440 --> 02:27:34,239
feel old when we hear that. So it's always funny

3231
02:27:34,479 --> 02:27:37,040
to hear that kind of stuff. Talk a little bit

3232
02:27:37,079 --> 02:27:40,120
about this week and just everything going on right now.

3233
02:27:40,159 --> 02:27:42,239
I mean, it's obviously a big football game with having

3234
02:27:42,280 --> 02:27:45,040
the Super Bowl, but you as a former quarterback, you

3235
02:27:45,079 --> 02:27:47,159
see a guy like Patrick Mahomes, I mean literally a

3236
02:27:47,280 --> 02:27:49,920
chance to submit even more legacy if he wins a

3237
02:27:49,959 --> 02:27:50,959
fourth Super Bowl, right.

3238
02:27:50,959 --> 02:27:53,879
Speaker 18: Yeah, this is pretty unheard of, you know, and if

3239
02:27:53,920 --> 02:27:58,760
you just back up one step, two seven AFC Championships

3240
02:27:58,879 --> 02:28:02,239
games in a row is yeah, unbelievable. And then a

3241
02:28:02,360 --> 02:28:05,079
chance to repeat what he's done at such a young

3242
02:28:05,840 --> 02:28:06,680
time of his career.

3243
02:28:06,959 --> 02:28:07,120
Speaker 3: You know.

3244
02:28:07,239 --> 02:28:10,079
Speaker 18: I mean, certainly no one other than Tom Brady's in

3245
02:28:10,120 --> 02:28:13,280
that same category of of of what they've done. You know,

3246
02:28:13,360 --> 02:28:16,159
I think it's gonna be a fantastic game. The Eagles

3247
02:28:16,200 --> 02:28:19,520
are an outstanding football team and really hard to beat,

3248
02:28:19,959 --> 02:28:22,280
but golly man and those key moments at the end

3249
02:28:22,319 --> 02:28:23,920
of the game, Patrick Mahomes seems to.

3250
02:28:23,959 --> 02:28:26,319
Speaker 5: Always be able to make some kind of magic happen.

3251
02:28:26,520 --> 02:28:29,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's amazing too, And it's it gets to

3252
02:28:29,680 --> 02:28:32,399
the point where they're like, people are asking, oh, there

3253
02:28:33,040 --> 02:28:35,559
is the lead cheating for the for them, the refs cheating,

3254
02:28:35,600 --> 02:28:38,120
and it's like, no, man, sometimes you're just that good.

3255
02:28:38,079 --> 02:28:41,239
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah, no kidding. It's it's funny. I think, Uh,

3256
02:28:41,760 --> 02:28:44,600
everybody loves loves the underdog until.

3257
02:28:44,399 --> 02:28:46,520
Speaker 18: They become the champion, and then then it's kind of

3258
02:28:46,600 --> 02:28:49,200
like you kind of paid on the people that keep winning, right,

3259
02:28:49,319 --> 02:28:52,040
So you know, there's been a few calls that go

3260
02:28:52,559 --> 02:28:54,200
weird ways, but that happens all the time.

3261
02:28:54,319 --> 02:28:56,920
Speaker 5: You pay more attention to him usually in these situations.

3262
02:28:57,079 --> 02:28:58,479
Speaker 8: It's funny. And you had a little bit of that

3263
02:28:58,559 --> 02:29:01,239
too at Florida when when you're good, when you when

3264
02:29:01,280 --> 02:29:03,520
you get good, people like, oh, what a great story.

3265
02:29:03,879 --> 02:29:05,520
And then you start winning too much and then you

3266
02:29:05,600 --> 02:29:07,159
become the villain all of a sudden, people like, oh,

3267
02:29:07,159 --> 02:29:07,879
they win too much?

3268
02:29:08,079 --> 02:29:09,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, is that gonna happen?

3269
02:29:09,120 --> 02:29:10,639
Speaker 8: Is that kind of what happened? Take me back to

3270
02:29:10,680 --> 02:29:12,399
your Florida days. Was that a little was there a

3271
02:29:12,440 --> 02:29:14,399
little bit of flavor that because spurry are always he

3272
02:29:14,440 --> 02:29:16,520
would say stuff he knew, he would say stuff the round.

3273
02:29:16,680 --> 02:29:20,879
Speaker 18: He didn't even have to be winning, yet to be

3274
02:29:20,959 --> 02:29:22,360
able to say the things that got people.

3275
02:29:22,520 --> 02:29:24,239
Speaker 5: In fact, this was crazy for me.

3276
02:29:24,360 --> 02:29:26,760
Speaker 18: So, you know, I'd known him since nineteen ninety two,

3277
02:29:27,719 --> 02:29:30,760
and years ago I was at someone old Gator fans

3278
02:29:30,840 --> 02:29:34,959
house who had a book of quotes from Spurrier from

3279
02:29:35,079 --> 02:29:38,520
before that up until like nineteen ninety one. So this

3280
02:29:38,680 --> 02:29:40,600
is like before i'd even knew him, and the amount

3281
02:29:40,600 --> 02:29:43,159
of stuff that he had said prior to that is crazy.

3282
02:29:43,479 --> 02:29:45,799
Speaker 5: He knew how to knife folks pretty good.

3283
02:29:46,120 --> 02:29:48,280
Speaker 8: That's that's that's it. Yeah, I mean he was always

3284
02:29:48,360 --> 02:29:50,200
one of the great What was the uh you can't

3285
02:29:50,239 --> 02:29:53,120
have citrus without ut? That was always that was always

3286
02:29:53,159 --> 02:29:56,440
the good one. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting too when it

3287
02:29:56,479 --> 02:29:58,680
comes to the Florida Gators. We have a local kid

3288
02:29:58,959 --> 02:30:02,159
from the Houston area, Willis DJ Lagway, who went to

3289
02:30:02,239 --> 02:30:04,079
Florida last year, played a little bit as a true

3290
02:30:04,120 --> 02:30:06,680
freshman in the back end, and suddenly Floria starts to

3291
02:30:06,680 --> 02:30:08,360
go on this wind streak. What did you see out

3292
02:30:08,360 --> 02:30:11,200
of that kid? And what's the future look like with him?

3293
02:30:11,280 --> 02:30:11,680
At that home?

3294
02:30:11,760 --> 02:30:14,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, you said Willis right? Yeah, Yeah, we're big Willis fans.

3295
02:30:14,760 --> 02:30:17,159
Speaker 18: Now, all of a sudden, I tell you what He

3296
02:30:17,360 --> 02:30:23,280
is a very amazing young man, an incredible player. What

3297
02:30:23,840 --> 02:30:25,799
he has meant this year, I mean he didn't even

3298
02:30:25,840 --> 02:30:29,360
play that much and has created like Hope, Hope that's

3299
02:30:29,440 --> 02:30:31,520
drawn recruits from all over the country. We went from

3300
02:30:31,600 --> 02:30:34,799
like the fiftieth probably a rated recruiting class. I think

3301
02:30:34,840 --> 02:30:37,920
now we're like six or seventh in a large part

3302
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:39,520
to the success at the end of the year, in

3303
02:30:39,600 --> 02:30:40,959
a large part due to DJ.

3304
02:30:40,879 --> 02:30:43,520
Speaker 5: Lagway had breakfast with him a couple of weeks ago.

3305
02:30:43,639 --> 02:30:47,079
Speaker 18: Humble kid does a lot for charities, just wants to

3306
02:30:47,120 --> 02:30:48,520
be a good leader, wants to be the best that

3307
02:30:48,639 --> 02:30:52,280
he can be. Great family, really have a lot of

3308
02:30:52,319 --> 02:30:55,520
respect for his folks, and I'm just really grateful he's

3309
02:30:55,520 --> 02:30:56,520
at the University of Florida.

3310
02:30:56,760 --> 02:30:58,479
Speaker 8: And it's tough to this day and age because there's

3311
02:30:58,559 --> 02:31:01,440
kids look nils a thing and there's some kids they

3312
02:31:01,520 --> 02:31:03,319
let it get to their head, and yes, go get

3313
02:31:03,360 --> 02:31:05,479
your money and do all that, but you also still

3314
02:31:05,520 --> 02:31:07,120
have to kind of be that humble leader too, and

3315
02:31:07,159 --> 02:31:08,879
you got it's got to be a fine balance. And

3316
02:31:09,319 --> 02:31:11,399
it seems like DJ. Look, he's he's getting take care

3317
02:31:11,399 --> 02:31:13,639
of on the NL front, but also on the other side,

3318
02:31:13,799 --> 02:31:15,639
he seems to be that humble leader that does all

3319
02:31:15,639 --> 02:31:17,040
the things that leaders need to do.

3320
02:31:17,520 --> 02:31:20,319
Speaker 18: I mean, I think he's a very unusual to have

3321
02:31:20,399 --> 02:31:22,559
all that together and to have it at such a

3322
02:31:22,680 --> 02:31:24,799
young age, and he's got an old soul in him

3323
02:31:25,760 --> 02:31:28,200
and just a really unique and amazing young man.

3324
02:31:28,479 --> 02:31:32,200
Speaker 8: We're talking with Danny Wirfold. I'm curious your thoughts. Texas

3325
02:31:32,479 --> 02:31:35,239
in the SEC now is weird enough, But when Arch

3326
02:31:35,399 --> 02:31:38,040
Manning is getting ready to take over the home at Texas,

3327
02:31:38,600 --> 02:31:41,079
did you ever think you would see a Manning again,

3328
02:31:41,280 --> 02:31:43,200
you know, in the SEC, but you know, not at

3329
02:31:43,239 --> 02:31:46,719
Texas or Old Miss but or not Old Miss or Tennessee,

3330
02:31:46,760 --> 02:31:47,360
but at Texas.

3331
02:31:48,000 --> 02:31:50,520
Speaker 18: I saw a picture online the other day of I

3332
02:31:50,600 --> 02:31:52,399
think that son throwing the ball.

3333
02:31:52,520 --> 02:31:52,680
Speaker 7: Yeah.

3334
02:31:52,799 --> 02:31:54,200
Speaker 18: I don't know how old he is, but I'm like,

3335
02:31:54,280 --> 02:31:56,000
you know, we may not ever see the end of

3336
02:31:56,040 --> 02:31:59,360
the Mannings, that that line goes on forever. But I

3337
02:31:59,399 --> 02:32:01,559
remember this Night Live skirt where they said the only

3338
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:05,000
disappointment was his mom didn't play very long in Canada.

3339
02:32:04,760 --> 02:32:06,000
Speaker 5: But everybody else with stars.

3340
02:32:06,239 --> 02:32:10,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's too funny. Yeah it's it's crazy, and

3341
02:32:10,479 --> 02:32:12,200
look what do you make of it? Though? Like a

3342
02:32:12,280 --> 02:32:15,040
kid with all that hype and everything like that. Does

3343
02:32:15,120 --> 02:32:16,600
he live up to the hype? There's a lot of

3344
02:32:16,639 --> 02:32:18,680
pressure on these kids to try to live up to that.

3345
02:32:18,879 --> 02:32:21,280
Speaker 18: Yeah, I would say so, I'd say wisdom. I think

3346
02:32:21,280 --> 02:32:22,879
a lot of this came from the family, though. Is

3347
02:32:22,959 --> 02:32:25,399
you look that he has been there for a couple

3348
02:32:25,440 --> 02:32:27,440
of years to learn and grow and develop and as

3349
02:32:27,479 --> 02:32:30,399
a quarterback, that's so key. It's so hard, so hard

3350
02:32:30,440 --> 02:32:32,520
to go intos a freshman or as a rookie and

3351
02:32:32,600 --> 02:32:35,360
have success. There's so many more stories of guys that

3352
02:32:35,440 --> 02:32:38,200
struggled those early years and then then you start questioning

3353
02:32:38,280 --> 02:32:41,079
yourself and your confidence and people get down on you.

3354
02:32:41,600 --> 02:32:46,200
So I think he's in the absolute perfect scenario for him. Yes,

3355
02:32:46,399 --> 02:32:49,280
the expectations are high, but they've got a great team,

3356
02:32:49,360 --> 02:32:51,360
a great coach, great system, and he's ready.

3357
02:32:51,520 --> 02:32:53,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, it seems like Steve sarkiz and doing something right

3358
02:32:53,760 --> 02:32:57,159
there now, two deep playoff runs two years in a row.

3359
02:32:57,159 --> 02:32:59,879
We'll see what they do this year. Talking with you

3360
02:33:00,159 --> 02:33:01,479
or we'll talk a little bit about what you're here

3361
02:33:01,520 --> 02:33:06,520
for this week, huddle for health. I know, great, you know,

3362
02:33:06,680 --> 02:33:08,879
great place to be pushing this week while you're.

3363
02:33:08,760 --> 02:33:09,239
Speaker 5: In the Orleans.

3364
02:33:09,639 --> 02:33:12,799
Speaker 18: Yeah, So my foundation in the Warflew Foundation, we exist

3365
02:33:12,879 --> 02:33:15,799
to inspire service, unity, and health in the world, and

3366
02:33:15,879 --> 02:33:18,959
so we're trying to leverage football big moments to kind

3367
02:33:18,959 --> 02:33:22,399
of drive things towards making positive change. And so one

3368
02:33:22,399 --> 02:33:24,520
of the new partners that I've been working with is

3369
02:33:24,559 --> 02:33:28,440
called is Nation. I Nation is an app. It's a platform.

3370
02:33:28,479 --> 02:33:30,440
You can actually download it right off the iOS stor

3371
02:33:30,520 --> 02:33:32,520
it's just a it's an app, but think of it

3372
02:33:32,680 --> 02:33:35,559
like not like an Instagram or a TikTok or something.

3373
02:33:35,639 --> 02:33:37,200
This is like the app where you want your kids

3374
02:33:37,239 --> 02:33:40,000
to go because it's about sports, it's about relationship, it's

3375
02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:44,120
about positivity. You can get coaching, you can get all

3376
02:33:44,200 --> 02:33:47,040
sorts of great stuff. And the Huddle for Health is

3377
02:33:47,079 --> 02:33:49,319
a program kind of coming out of the NFL Alumni

3378
02:33:49,399 --> 02:33:51,840
Health where they're trying to create more education and services

3379
02:33:51,920 --> 02:33:54,040
around health in the world. So they're going to be

3380
02:33:54,120 --> 02:33:57,040
putting a lot of their content on the is Nation app,

3381
02:33:57,760 --> 02:34:00,639
which we really kind of deliver that to a broad audience.

3382
02:34:00,680 --> 02:34:02,440
Speaker 5: So this is some pretty cool stuff.

3383
02:34:02,520 --> 02:34:06,840
Speaker 18: I think it's it's being creative around technology, uh, using sports, using.

3384
02:34:06,680 --> 02:34:08,159
Speaker 5: Relationships to make a difference.

3385
02:34:08,559 --> 02:34:11,000
Speaker 18: So, yeah, if you have kids, or even if you

3386
02:34:11,040 --> 02:34:14,079
don't check out is Nation, you just download it, uh,

3387
02:34:14,280 --> 02:34:16,360
and then you can look for the huddle for health

3388
02:34:16,719 --> 02:34:17,479
support in there.

3389
02:34:17,520 --> 02:34:18,920
Speaker 5: But there's lots of other great stuff too.

3390
02:34:19,120 --> 02:34:21,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you still, yeah, I assume you still got

3391
02:34:21,520 --> 02:34:23,479
everything going with Desire Street and all the local stuff

3392
02:34:23,520 --> 02:34:23,840
you do here.

3393
02:34:24,200 --> 02:34:27,159
Speaker 18: Yep, Desire Street actually now is working in neighborhoods all

3394
02:34:27,200 --> 02:34:30,639
over the country. And yeah, the the original stuff here

3395
02:34:30,719 --> 02:34:33,280
in the ninth ward was rebuilt. There's a community center,

3396
02:34:33,879 --> 02:34:37,280
early childhood center, a medical clinic that we rebuilt and

3397
02:34:37,399 --> 02:34:40,799
it's now all being run by local, local folks here

3398
02:34:40,879 --> 02:34:42,559
that are part of the community. So that kind of

3399
02:34:42,600 --> 02:34:45,440
frees us to help grow things like that around the country.

02:36:33,840 --> 02:36:36,120
This is a guy who's currently with the New Orleans Saints.

3443
02:36:36,399 --> 02:36:39,159
He has a big boot on his legs, so he's

3444
02:36:39,239 --> 02:36:41,239
coming back from injury. But a guy that is from

3445
02:36:41,920 --> 02:36:45,200
right down the road over in Texas from Border Rays, Frisco,

3446
02:36:45,319 --> 02:36:49,280
Texas played for the Texas Longhorns. He is linebacker Jalen

3447
02:36:49,319 --> 02:36:52,239
fordsitting downas Jaye. Welcome in, man, appreciate your paron. I

3448
02:36:52,360 --> 02:36:55,239
see you have the you have the boot, and you're

3449
02:36:55,280 --> 02:36:57,559
on a scooter. How how far along we are we

3450
02:36:57,639 --> 02:36:59,639
in the uh in the rehab cycle?

3451
02:36:59,680 --> 02:37:05,040
Speaker 16: About I got surgery, uh like at the beginning of January,

3452
02:37:05,159 --> 02:37:08,959
so about a month over and you know, just you know,

3453
02:37:09,040 --> 02:37:12,479
every day making my way to rehab, just trying to

3454
02:37:12,520 --> 02:37:15,760
get better. I think the Saints have done a good job.

3455
02:37:15,920 --> 02:37:19,559
Helped me be confident and you know, understanding the process

3456
02:37:19,719 --> 02:37:21,319
and you know the steps were going to take, you know,

3457
02:37:21,440 --> 02:37:21,840
to get to.

3458
02:37:23,559 --> 02:37:24,680
Speaker 5: Be fully recovered.

3459
02:37:24,719 --> 02:37:27,360
Speaker 16: So I have a lot of confidence and you know,

3460
02:37:27,399 --> 02:37:29,440
one hundred percent certainty that you know, I'll be back

3461
02:37:30,440 --> 02:37:31,399
writing time for the season.

3462
02:37:31,719 --> 02:37:34,040
Speaker 8: What was the rookie season like with your head spinning

3463
02:37:34,239 --> 02:37:35,440
first year in the NFL.

3464
02:37:36,000 --> 02:37:38,319
Speaker 16: A little bit at the beginning, I will say, I

3465
02:37:38,399 --> 02:37:41,920
think it was just the It was really just you know,

3466
02:37:42,079 --> 02:37:44,440
trying to find a way to learn that playbook. That

3467
02:37:44,520 --> 02:37:46,719
was probably the hardest thing for me, just trying to

3468
02:37:46,719 --> 02:37:49,319
pick up the playbook, and because I wanted to be

3469
02:37:50,680 --> 02:37:51,159
I wanted to.

3470
02:37:51,159 --> 02:37:53,040
Speaker 5: Feel like how I felt, you know, as comfortable as

3471
02:37:53,040 --> 02:37:53,760
it was at Texas.

3472
02:37:53,799 --> 02:37:56,799
Speaker 16: And yeah, obviously that takes time, and I just you know,

3473
02:37:56,959 --> 02:37:59,360
tend to just be harder myself sometimes. But I think

3474
02:38:00,040 --> 02:38:02,440
all in all, I did a good job of developing

3475
02:38:02,559 --> 02:38:05,440
and you know, taking coaching, and over time, you know,

3476
02:38:05,559 --> 02:38:07,639
I ended up you know, finding the comfortability with the

3477
02:38:07,680 --> 02:38:09,600
playbook and stuff like that. So it was a pretty

3478
02:38:09,600 --> 02:38:12,799
good rookie year. Kind of to understand from my vets,

3479
02:38:12,920 --> 02:38:15,799
learn from them, and just you know, take in all

3480
02:38:15,840 --> 02:38:16,319
the experience.

3481
02:38:16,760 --> 02:38:20,040
Speaker 8: So take me back to your Longhorn days. I believe

3482
02:38:20,120 --> 02:38:22,760
you were recruited by Tom Herman, right, yeah, Tom Herman,

3483
02:38:22,799 --> 02:38:24,920
commit to Tom. You played for him for a year. Yeah,

3484
02:38:25,120 --> 02:38:27,879
and then here comes Sark. What was what was that

3485
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:30,719
all like? Playing for Tom Herman and then playing so

3486
02:38:31,639 --> 02:38:32,680
I got it.

3487
02:38:32,799 --> 02:38:34,680
Speaker 16: Was a crazy My first year was crazy because of

3488
02:38:34,719 --> 02:38:37,280
COVID and so you know, like you gotta put an

3489
02:38:37,280 --> 02:38:40,000
asterisk over that cause it's just the whole COVID thing

3490
02:38:40,159 --> 02:38:40,840
kind of it.

3491
02:38:42,000 --> 02:38:43,040
Speaker 5: It made things.

3492
02:38:45,120 --> 02:38:48,600
Speaker 16: Like I didn't really know how to, you know, take

3493
02:38:48,680 --> 02:38:51,639
in everything because the things I was experiencing was the

3494
02:38:51,879 --> 02:38:53,360
I was experiencing for the first time.

3495
02:38:53,239 --> 02:38:55,239
Speaker 5: Along with guys that have been there three four years.

3496
02:38:55,280 --> 02:38:57,719
Speaker 16: So it was it was a little different, and I

3497
02:38:57,799 --> 02:38:59,879
didn't really there weren't really guys there to kind of

3498
02:39:00,280 --> 02:39:02,479
tell you what to expect or what to you know,

3499
02:39:02,520 --> 02:39:04,600
because it was like this is all new to everybody.

3500
02:39:04,600 --> 02:39:04,719
Speaker 5: You know.

3501
02:39:04,760 --> 02:39:07,360
Speaker 16: We were out there practicing with masks on and it

3502
02:39:07,479 --> 02:39:11,120
was a whole crazy ordeal. But we still were out

3503
02:39:11,159 --> 02:39:12,280
there playing games obviously.

3504
02:39:12,360 --> 02:39:15,079
Speaker 8: And so how was your hydration level for Tom Herman?

3505
02:39:15,120 --> 02:39:15,639
Were you okay?

3506
02:39:15,799 --> 02:39:18,440
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I was. Yeah, I didn't really have to

3507
02:39:18,479 --> 02:39:19,000
worry about that.

3508
02:39:20,559 --> 02:39:22,639
Speaker 16: But I think, yeah, like and that was, yeah, that

3509
02:39:22,719 --> 02:39:25,040
was my first time being opened up to like hydration

3510
02:39:25,159 --> 02:39:27,520
tests and all those things. But I think I did

3511
02:39:27,600 --> 02:39:30,280
pretty good transitioning from high school to college.

3512
02:39:30,479 --> 02:39:30,600
Speaker 6: Uh.

3513
02:39:31,159 --> 02:39:33,639
Speaker 5: You know, I had made a good name for myself

3514
02:39:33,680 --> 02:39:34,600
being a freshman.

3515
02:39:34,280 --> 02:39:36,559
Speaker 16: And I got on special teams and you know, I

3516
02:39:36,600 --> 02:39:38,079
had an opportunity to get on the field a couple

3517
02:39:38,120 --> 02:39:38,440
of times.

3518
02:39:38,479 --> 02:39:40,120
Speaker 5: So my freshman year was good.

3519
02:39:40,280 --> 02:39:42,319
Speaker 16: And then you know, you know, I wake up one

3520
02:39:42,360 --> 02:39:44,840
morning and I look at ESPN and it's Tom Herman

3521
02:39:45,079 --> 02:39:48,159
has been fire. Yeah, you know, and then start comes

3522
02:39:48,200 --> 02:39:50,959
in and I had no I had no idea about Sark.

3523
02:39:51,000 --> 02:39:52,000
Speaker 5: I didn't know where he was from.

3524
02:39:52,079 --> 02:39:55,200
Speaker 16: I you know, obviously he had a great he had

3525
02:39:55,239 --> 02:39:57,520
a great coaching resume, but I just didn't know what

3526
02:39:57,600 --> 02:40:02,360
my myself. But you know, fast forward now, like you know, uh,

3527
02:40:03,200 --> 02:40:05,680
Sark has helped me and helped a lot of guys

3528
02:40:05,959 --> 02:40:08,879
make a lot of money and has helped them develop

3529
02:40:09,040 --> 02:40:13,200
and and obviously he we we've helped him. You know,

3530
02:40:13,280 --> 02:40:15,559
he came in and told us what he wanted, you know,

3531
02:40:15,600 --> 02:40:17,319
except for a standard, and we helped him do it.

3532
02:40:17,879 --> 02:40:19,479
And you look at him now and it's like, you know,

3533
02:40:19,639 --> 02:40:23,520
back to back CFP appearances. So you know, I think

3534
02:40:23,559 --> 02:40:24,520
he's been doing a great job.

3535
02:40:24,680 --> 02:40:26,200
Speaker 8: And it's crazy, you guys, I think it was five

3536
02:40:26,239 --> 02:40:31,159
and seven one year one and then year one was okay,

3537
02:40:31,399 --> 02:40:32,680
that was you I will say.

3538
02:40:33,200 --> 02:40:35,719
Speaker 16: The best thing that ever happened was going five and

3539
02:40:35,799 --> 02:40:39,879
seven because the motivation that we had it led a

3540
02:40:39,959 --> 02:40:42,079
fire under it so big that you know, I think

3541
02:40:42,760 --> 02:40:45,440
everything that's happening now, it all started back then when

3542
02:40:45,479 --> 02:40:48,760
we had that year, just because of you know, everything

3543
02:40:48,840 --> 02:40:51,920
we experienced that year. Uh it it takes a lot

3544
02:40:52,000 --> 02:40:54,959
to overcome some adversity like that. And uh, you know,

3545
02:40:55,079 --> 02:40:56,639
like I was saying to you, new faces. He brought

3546
02:40:56,680 --> 02:40:58,959
in new people. You know, he had to you know,

3547
02:40:59,040 --> 02:41:02,079
get rid of some bad apple, and he brought in

3548
02:41:02,239 --> 02:41:03,959
guys that he thought would help buy in and you

3549
02:41:04,040 --> 02:41:06,000
know the guys that were already there. He was like,

3550
02:41:06,079 --> 02:41:07,440
he came to us like I need you buy in.

3551
02:41:07,600 --> 02:41:11,079
You know, helped set this new standard. We listened and

3552
02:41:11,239 --> 02:41:12,799
everything else was you know history.

3553
02:41:13,040 --> 02:41:17,440
Speaker 8: Talking with former Longhorn linebacker and occurred Saint linebacker Jalen Ford,

3554
02:41:17,879 --> 02:41:20,319
Uh is it I was looking back through your games,

3555
02:41:20,360 --> 02:41:22,280
I forgot you had ten tackles in that playoff game

3556
02:41:22,280 --> 02:41:23,000
against Washington.

3557
02:41:23,000 --> 02:41:24,319
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, talk about.

3558
02:41:24,120 --> 02:41:25,639
Speaker 8: Leaving it out, all out of the field. You left

3559
02:41:25,639 --> 02:41:28,159
it all out of the field and tried. Yeah, they

3560
02:41:28,559 --> 02:41:30,799
came so close, Quinn Quinn in the offense, they got

3561
02:41:30,840 --> 02:41:32,520
the ball, They're marching down. I'm like, oh, they're gonna

3562
02:41:32,520 --> 02:41:34,479
do this. Yeah, it just walked in the cards.

3563
02:41:35,319 --> 02:41:39,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, it was tough, you know, being that close doing

3564
02:41:39,079 --> 02:41:41,000
something that Texas hadn't done in a long time. But

3565
02:41:42,000 --> 02:41:44,520
just that whole journey, the whole process, not only for me,

3566
02:41:44,639 --> 02:41:46,479
but I know for a lot of guys that were

3567
02:41:46,520 --> 02:41:48,879
there with me. Some of them are you know, got

3568
02:41:48,959 --> 02:41:52,600
drafted with me last year. Was in your class, No

3569
02:41:52,719 --> 02:41:55,520
Overshan was year before, yeah, year before. But you know

3570
02:41:55,760 --> 02:41:58,559
even them Rouseeawan, Bijon, you know over Sean, you know

3571
02:41:58,600 --> 02:41:59,200
all them guys.

3572
02:41:59,399 --> 02:41:59,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

3573
02:42:00,079 --> 02:42:01,719
Speaker 16: But it's just been so many guys that I've seen,

3574
02:42:02,000 --> 02:42:04,440
you know, finally make it to the NFL. And we

3575
02:42:04,559 --> 02:42:06,600
were all part of that group, like, man, we're gonna

3576
02:42:06,639 --> 02:42:08,440
change this, We're gonna do it. And uh, I think

3577
02:42:08,920 --> 02:42:10,520
we can say that we helped, you know, get the

3578
02:42:10,559 --> 02:42:13,319
ball rolling on what what sark has you know, finally

3579
02:42:13,360 --> 02:42:14,840
start to build at Texas.

3580
02:42:14,959 --> 02:42:17,879
Speaker 8: Give me, okay, give me a scattered report on Quinn yours.

3581
02:42:17,920 --> 02:42:21,000
How do how he officially in the draft? Now, what's uh?

3582
02:42:21,680 --> 02:42:23,440
What what's he bringing to the league?

3583
02:42:23,920 --> 02:42:24,639
Speaker 4: You know, I like Quinn.

3584
02:42:24,920 --> 02:42:27,440
Speaker 16: Uh, Quinn has a he has a bit of swagger

3585
02:42:27,479 --> 02:42:30,559
and confidence that you know, at the quarterback position, you're

3586
02:42:30,600 --> 02:42:32,719
gonna get a lot of scrutiny. Uh, people gonna have

3587
02:42:32,920 --> 02:42:34,639
things to say about you all the time, regardless of

3588
02:42:34,680 --> 02:42:36,639
how you do. And I think he does a good

3589
02:42:36,719 --> 02:42:38,520
job of not letting it get to him and just

3590
02:42:38,559 --> 02:42:40,920
gonna go out there and play his game. He's young,

3591
02:42:41,120 --> 02:42:42,920
and he's got a lot of you know, he's got

3592
02:42:42,959 --> 02:42:44,479
a lot of promise. So I think for him, he's

3593
02:42:44,479 --> 02:42:47,959
just gotta he's got to learn, you know, learn from

3594
02:42:48,000 --> 02:42:50,399
the guys that that are in his room, that have

3595
02:42:50,479 --> 02:42:53,680
you know, been in the league, and then just continue

3596
02:42:53,719 --> 02:42:55,319
to grow. And I think he's gonna be a great quarterback.

3597
02:42:55,440 --> 02:42:56,760
Speaker 8: I was just looking at all the guys, I mean,

3598
02:42:56,799 --> 02:42:59,879
there was so many Longhorns draft eligible leaving. I mean,

3599
02:43:00,079 --> 02:43:02,200
like going pro. It's it's the list, is I mean, yeah,

3600
02:43:02,200 --> 02:43:03,920
you guys like Matthew Golden who just came in for

3601
02:43:04,000 --> 02:43:07,120
a year and all that. But like Jake Major dude,

3602
02:43:07,120 --> 02:43:09,079
who have been around a while, it's it's a lot

3603
02:43:09,120 --> 02:43:10,120
of long ports going in this.

3604
02:43:10,200 --> 02:43:11,879
Speaker 16: Draft, and that's what I'm saying. And it's like, you know,

3605
02:43:12,000 --> 02:43:13,879
we went from I think that year we went five

3606
02:43:13,920 --> 02:43:16,079
and seven. I don't think we had one guy drafted,

3607
02:43:17,079 --> 02:43:18,639
and then you fast forward to this year and we

3608
02:43:18,799 --> 02:43:21,600
might you know, we could possibly set a record or

3609
02:43:21,719 --> 02:43:24,840
you know, set a record for Texas for sure, And

3610
02:43:24,959 --> 02:43:28,239
so I think just seeing like all that is that

3611
02:43:28,440 --> 02:43:30,360
just shows kind of like the work that everybody's been

3612
02:43:30,399 --> 02:43:33,719
putting in since start got there, really and now it's

3613
02:43:33,719 --> 02:43:35,120
starting to pay off and you're starting to see the

3614
02:43:35,200 --> 02:43:38,040
guys that that started with them, you know, starting to

3615
02:43:38,079 --> 02:43:40,639
reap you know, the wars, the benefits of the you know,

3616
02:43:40,760 --> 02:43:41,319
the hard work.

3617
02:43:41,520 --> 02:43:44,120
Speaker 8: You're are you all aboard the SEC hype trade and

3618
02:43:44,719 --> 02:43:46,399
you played in the last three twelve game. Yeah.

3619
02:43:46,399 --> 02:43:48,360
Speaker 16: I remember people asking me like, how you think Text's

3620
02:43:48,399 --> 02:43:51,719
going to do? Then SEC and they surpassed my expectations

3621
02:43:51,840 --> 02:43:54,079
this year. So I mean, you know, they were a

3622
02:43:54,200 --> 02:43:56,799
game short of winning the NA Set Championship their first year,

3623
02:43:57,559 --> 02:43:59,680
but nonetheless, you know, they went out there and they

3624
02:43:59,719 --> 02:44:01,200
definite he made a name for themselves.

3625
02:44:01,280 --> 02:44:02,760
Speaker 5: And you know, the biggest thing.

3626
02:44:02,760 --> 02:44:06,360
Speaker 16: That when I was at Texas was you know, respect,

3627
02:44:06,479 --> 02:44:08,920
Like a lot of teams didn't really respect us because

3628
02:44:08,920 --> 02:44:10,959
of you know, the past. And I think, you know,

3629
02:44:11,719 --> 02:44:14,440
these past couple of years, I think Texas done them

3630
02:44:14,600 --> 02:44:17,239
more than enough to you know, show that their team

3631
02:44:17,239 --> 02:44:18,520
that should be respected when they get there.

3632
02:44:19,159 --> 02:44:20,879
Speaker 8: At least you guys still get to play those wretched

3633
02:44:20,959 --> 02:44:21,840
Sooners up the road.

3634
02:44:22,360 --> 02:44:25,840
Speaker 16: It can't can't take that Red River game away, because man,

3635
02:44:26,040 --> 02:44:28,719
that game is a special you know, being part of it,

3636
02:44:29,079 --> 02:44:31,680
you know how special it is. And I'm just glad

3637
02:44:31,680 --> 02:44:33,799
I get to see new guys, you know, make a

3638
02:44:33,879 --> 02:44:34,840
name for themselves in that game.

3639
02:44:34,959 --> 02:44:38,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, talking with the Texas Longhorn former Texas Longhorn linebacker

3640
02:44:38,520 --> 02:44:40,920
Jalen Ford down with the New Orleans Saints. It's here

3641
02:44:41,280 --> 02:44:42,319
in New Orleans. Kind of cool.

3642
02:44:42,319 --> 02:44:44,799
Speaker 16: You do enough to go far right, Yeah, It's been

3643
02:44:44,799 --> 02:44:46,600
a cool experience to kind of you know, be here

3644
02:44:48,479 --> 02:44:51,079
and be a New Orleans Saint and have you know

3645
02:44:51,680 --> 02:44:55,319
a surplus amount of opportunities to to you know, be

3646
02:44:55,399 --> 02:44:57,680
involved with the Super Bowl or you know, do do

3647
02:44:57,840 --> 02:45:00,760
media or kind of you know, hosting or you know,

3648
02:45:01,079 --> 02:45:05,600
do community service, all those types of things that the

3649
02:45:05,959 --> 02:45:09,040
Super Bowl kind of just magnified it. And this has

3650
02:45:09,079 --> 02:45:12,000
been pretty cool, uh, pretty cool experience and opportunities.

3651
02:45:12,280 --> 02:45:14,600
Speaker 8: Are you re expecting you guys gonna get a head

3652
02:45:14,639 --> 02:45:16,879
coach this week? Is that the hope or that's the hope? Right?

3653
02:45:17,399 --> 02:45:20,719
Speaker 16: I mean, the game, the game is, The game is Sunday.

3654
02:45:20,760 --> 02:45:23,000
Hopefully you know, by the end of by the end

3655
02:45:23,040 --> 02:45:24,120
of the next week at least.

3656
02:45:24,440 --> 02:45:26,399
Speaker 8: Might be a guy coaching in that game. We'll see, Yeah,

3657
02:45:26,440 --> 02:45:28,680
we'll see, We'll see what happens. But that's certainly gonna

3658
02:45:28,680 --> 02:45:31,000
be a fun to see. And uh man, what a

3659
02:45:31,120 --> 02:45:33,040
crazy year two for you guy. I mean that that

3660
02:45:33,159 --> 02:45:35,520
to and oh start you'll beat what was it, the

3661
02:45:36,120 --> 02:45:39,639
beat the panta it's not of the Cowboys, and everybody's

3662
02:45:39,760 --> 02:45:44,920
like this New Orleans this year, and then everything just

3663
02:45:45,000 --> 02:45:46,879
started to unwind. I guess yeah.

3664
02:45:46,920 --> 02:45:49,479
Speaker 5: I think injuries, Yeah, injuries were a major part.

3665
02:45:50,959 --> 02:45:53,040
Speaker 16: But you know in the NFL, you know they always

3666
02:45:53,040 --> 02:45:56,040
say any given Sunday, So uh, I think it's just

3667
02:45:56,120 --> 02:45:59,319
a lesson learned. Like you know, uh, you got if

3668
02:45:59,319 --> 02:46:01,319
you're gonna start strong, you gotta finish strong. You know,

3669
02:46:01,680 --> 02:46:03,520
it's a lot of games to be played in the NFL.

3670
02:46:04,360 --> 02:46:06,799
A lot of things can happen, and so I think

3671
02:46:06,879 --> 02:46:09,840
for us just got to learn from it and move on.

3672
02:46:10,360 --> 02:46:13,040
Speaker 8: What's is it tough staying away from all the dangerous

3673
02:46:13,079 --> 02:46:13,479
food here?

3674
02:46:13,959 --> 02:46:16,639
Speaker 16: Stayed in drum? You know, Luckily I work out a lot.

3675
02:46:16,959 --> 02:46:18,520
I haven't been able to work out with this boots,

3676
02:46:18,559 --> 02:46:22,719
so I have had to watch myself. But I luckily

3677
02:46:22,760 --> 02:46:24,719
I've never been a guy that you know, food doesn't

3678
02:46:24,719 --> 02:46:26,639
stick on to me. So you know, I had the

3679
02:46:26,719 --> 02:46:29,079
luxury of being able to eat pretty much a lot

3680
02:46:29,159 --> 02:46:31,959
of a lot of things in New Orleans. The food

3681
02:46:32,040 --> 02:46:35,079
is amazing out here, so what they do say about

3682
02:46:35,120 --> 02:46:38,000
the food is true. Uh, And it's been great to

3683
02:46:38,319 --> 02:46:42,040
kind of go around and find new spots and try

3684
02:46:42,120 --> 02:46:44,719
new things. Which food do you miss most living in Texas?

3685
02:46:46,040 --> 02:46:50,040
Food I missed most living in Texas. I probably say

3686
02:46:50,040 --> 02:46:54,479
the barbecue. Barbecue isn't bad here, but you know, Texas

3687
02:46:54,559 --> 02:46:55,719
is just a little different out there.

3688
02:46:55,959 --> 02:46:56,079
Speaker 4: Uh.

3689
02:46:56,719 --> 02:46:59,719
Speaker 16: But I mean being out here for about a year now,

3690
02:47:01,079 --> 02:47:04,280
I think I'm just uh switching over to seafood, you know,

3691
02:47:04,440 --> 02:47:08,319
and enjoying the seafood and and and apasta and everything else.

3692
02:47:08,360 --> 02:47:10,079
Speaker 8: They got to offer out here all right? Last week

3693
02:47:10,120 --> 02:47:13,120
for you talker, Jalen Ford, Uh, are you all aboard

3694
02:47:13,159 --> 02:47:15,040
the arch Manic hype train? Absolutely?

3695
02:47:16,239 --> 02:47:18,600
Speaker 16: Arch is what you've seen arts do in those games

3696
02:47:18,680 --> 02:47:20,639
that he played. He was doing that in practice his

3697
02:47:20,719 --> 02:47:23,959
freshman year. So you know, I'm always been like, man,

3698
02:47:24,159 --> 02:47:28,040
he's gonna be special. Obviously, he's gonna have some growing pains.

3699
02:47:28,520 --> 02:47:31,680
You know, he hasn't started, Uh, he hasn't played and

3700
02:47:31,799 --> 02:47:33,879
started a whole season and you know in in a

3701
02:47:33,920 --> 02:47:35,680
couple of years, so you know, there will be some

3702
02:47:35,760 --> 02:47:39,000
growing pains. Being a quarterback at Texas is gonna be

3703
02:47:39,079 --> 02:47:43,000
some adversity. But I think he has a great foundation

3704
02:47:43,079 --> 02:47:45,399
around him, you know, with his family, with his with

3705
02:47:45,520 --> 02:47:48,360
his dad, and then he has a great foundation at

3706
02:47:48,680 --> 02:47:50,639
the school to where you know, I think he's gonna

3707
02:47:50,639 --> 02:47:52,639
have guys that will make players and help him out.

3708
02:47:53,159 --> 02:47:55,959
And you know when those when that adversity does hit,

3709
02:47:56,040 --> 02:47:57,799
I think he'll do a great job of overcoming it.

3710
02:47:57,920 --> 02:47:59,440
Speaker 5: So I'm excited to see what he'll do.

3711
02:48:00,159 --> 02:48:03,559
Speaker 8: But he is Jaalen Ford Saints linebacker former Texas Longhorn.

3712
02:48:03,840 --> 02:48:05,200
Give me a hook him on the way out, hook

3713
02:48:05,280 --> 02:48:06,840
