1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:11,519
Speaker 1: Is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,839
Speaker 2: One an Ex Town. Good morning, and welcome to a

3
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:17,039
Monday edition to the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. This

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,239
is Sports Talk seven Attie Ross. I took your advice.

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,120
I said, you said, Matt decompressed, don't do much. Yes,

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,079
I cooked the steak on last night for the family. Wonderful.

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,480
That's all I did the entire weekend. I could have

8
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:35,799
gone to the strips, Sirloins went strips and Rabbi's strip,

9
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,479
went to the went to the butcher butcher. Oh wow, yeah, okay,

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,679
uh yeah, so I could have gone on a boat ride.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960
I could have gone to a variety of March Madness

12
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:49,560
selection tournament parties. And I'm like, I'm just gonna stay

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,119
home because we've got a busy week coming up here.

14
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:54,920
We got two we got four Rockets games this week,

15
00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:59,359
two huge ones of the Los Angeles Lakers. Massive yep,

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,319
must win, must split games. I'll be cranky Thursday if

17
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,920
it don't win at least one. Does that make sense?

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:07,599
Speaker 3: Yes?

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: It does, just throwing that out there. What else we got?

20
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:16,879
We got World Baseball Classic Championship on Tuesday. Yes, I

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,400
did watch the night. I'm just I gotta be brutally

22
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:23,000
honest with you. I watched the ninth inning, that's it. Okay,

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,599
I'm trying, But I watched the highlights. Yeah, I saw

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,920
it was on them. But I had to go back

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,879
and watch the Rocket game for Friday because I missed it.

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,640
The amount of rhetoric coming from other teams not named

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,760
Team USA, although I can tell you the Tark School

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,599
obviously was an emotional basket case after he had to

29
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:43,400
go back to the Detroit Tigers after not being a

30
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,159
part of the TVBC. Yes, it's like they're saying, I'd

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,480
rather win this but than win a World Series. Like

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,640
check yourself, Matt. No, they can. They can have their opinions, opinions,

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,439
but I'm allowed to disagree with it. And that's what

34
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,079
this show is about it. And they're disagreeing and agreeing

35
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,400
with opinions. They're the ones playing the game. Yeah, and

36
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,000
we're gonna just like Team USA with all about hockey

37
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:09,879
and all that. We forgot about it. Two days after

38
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:12,919
we're gonna figure out the WBC, two days after we

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,199
got a baseball season coming out. Okay, the World Series,

40
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:20,199
we got big, we got I'll tell you what your

41
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:26,000
team abs should have abs yesterday. I know, Lordie like

42
00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:30,400
to it. No, it's okay. Everybody loves the human element

43
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:32,680
lasers like I gotta flight the cat that's open up.

44
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:36,080
You know what's great about baseball, the human element. I

45
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:38,599
love me some human element. You know who's not loving

46
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,520
the human element? Tr give me the Kim Republic's not

47
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:43,599
really feeling so hot about the human elements. One subtle

48
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,159
guy also got buzzing of calling anything. Apparently that was

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,199
way off too. I mean, my gosh, it wasn't even closer.

50
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,280
That was bad. That would have been bad calling a

51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:00,840
little league game. Yeah, why can't we just stupid just

52
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:03,639
please allow me put the homeplate on Pire next to

53
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,360
the picture. I mean you saw next to the picture. No,

54
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:09,360
the pictures further away. That's why the pictures aren't making challenges.

55
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:13,439
But you could have saw the glove movement go from

56
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,159
the lower to thee. They need to be closer like

57
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:19,479
the catchers. Okay, and the view is blocked. Yeah, how

58
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,439
about the side whatever something and catch a foul ball

59
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:24,840
in the dome. You say, do that anyways? And fox

60
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,520
So the finals, Mason Willa throws the strike three again.

61
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:31,439
The game they take like three minutes to show the replay. Yeah,

62
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:35,879
like god, LB, well that showstrike three. You have to

63
00:03:35,919 --> 00:03:38,080
show Mark de Rosa. Was he blocking the video like

64
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,159
he did the video of him saying they clinched. It

65
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,639
was almost like I wanted to go back and use

66
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,759
the DVR and hit rewind because like, it's taken you

67
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,479
forever to show this replay because I thought that looked

68
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,879
low and then they showed the replay like, oh it,

69
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,400
there was no chance, no way, there was never a strike.

70
00:03:56,759 --> 00:04:03,000
Congrat's team. USA. We need some normalcy, yeah, USA US

71
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,319
a good crowd of MI. I mean, it's so crazy

72
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:06,840
to watch a game in Miami and actually have people

73
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:08,400
in the stadium so that it looks like a fun

74
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,400
place to go. Yeah, it does. It's except that Marlins

75
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,400
play there. Yeah, it's right very close to Miami Airports.

76
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,240
If you noticed that there's a big stadium next to

77
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:19,560
Miami Airport, that's what they call it, the Loan Depot Park,

78
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,160
And I'd be confused with Home Depot Park. That's confusing.

79
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,639
But it looks very, very beautiful and it got people

80
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,120
in there, and there are probably some people sitting in

81
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,720
seats that haven't been sat at in probably three or

82
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,639
four years. Yeah, they're dust all dusted off there. That's funny.

83
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,600
It's funny. How was your weekend? Okay, weekend was great.

84
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,199
Didn't do much of anything that a whole lot. I mean,

85
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:43,959
the Rockets didn't play Longhorns, weren't involved in the SEC tournament. Yeah. So,

86
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,879
I've been teasing Ross about Dayton for about a month now,

87
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,800
and I didn't think I was being serious when I

88
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,079
was teasing it. Well, they were. Well when they lose,

89
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,319
you lose your last three games of the season and

90
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,240
finish with a five hundred record in the league play

91
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,519
and then don't win literally a single game in your

92
00:04:58,519 --> 00:05:01,920
conference tournament, you would up up on the bubble. And

93
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,480
they did. And Dayton's lovely and mid in mid March.

94
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:08,759
That's fine. I don't even care. You know what, go

95
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,439
wolf Pack, so you want him? You just want to

96
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:13,199
be done when the game starts, you know how you

97
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,639
know you know who I'll be rooting for when the

98
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:17,360
game starts. Where's the watch party? There's no watch party

99
00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:19,439
for Dayton games, Matt, Are you sure?

100
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:19,759
Speaker 3: Yes?

101
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: We can't find Texas exits somewhere around town. I mean maybe,

102
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,519
I don't think so. I think you're probably maybe for

103
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,800
the regular tournament. By the way, shout out to Joe Lenardi. Yes,

104
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:30,879
did you see what he did? No? You got all

105
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:31,680
sixty eight right?

106
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Oh?

107
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,519
Speaker 2: Good for him? Yeah, people, you know what, People need

108
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:36,439
to put some respect on his name. Maybe too, he's

109
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,920
getting crushed on the basket college basketball Twitter streets. You

110
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,959
gotta be a real nerd to be on college basketball Twitter.

111
00:05:41,959 --> 00:05:43,959
By the way, let me take you a college basketball nerd.

112
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:48,279
I don't want to hang out with them. It's too

113
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,199
much transfer portal. Like every year Texas got like seven

114
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,879
new players. I gotta figure it out. Then I can't

115
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,959
even pay attention to every other team. It's ridiculous. Yep.

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,480
I can fairly pay attention to my own Cougar team.

117
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,319
I can't pay attention on other teams. Again, that's a

118
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:04,759
little Let me give you a little one on one.

119
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:07,920
Anybody that tries to discuss the bracket that's not been

120
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:11,120
discussing it since November doesn't have any business discussing the bracket.

121
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,279
Just wait. Well, that's what I got to do it.

122
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,160
My bible is Kim Palm. I'll just go to Kim

123
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,160
Palm and fill up my bracket. Yeah, we gotta take

124
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:21,920
the wet take the chalk picks right. Basically, it's better

125
00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:24,560
off that over the years chalk is smarter. But some

126
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,000
years it'll burn you. We'll see ye. Last year all

127
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,439
fourst got in. This year it'll be three ones and

128
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,000
a two. Last year I got second and third in

129
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,720
a big pool. Nice, real nass?

130
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 4: What was it?

131
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:38,199
Speaker 2: What did you do with that? Buddy? I saved it,

132
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,759
put it in my roth ira Nice. That's very responsible,

133
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,600
of course. All right, and then I've donated the rest

134
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,480
of the church, so we call you Saint mita real

135
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,519
thank you. All right, all right, let's go over we're

136
00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:56,839
doing today. We've got a little bit of astros chatter

137
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,879
to get to. We can actually start looking some box

138
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:02,240
course now, yes, because the pitching numbers are amazing, the

139
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,399
battery numbers are still a little mid. I would say,

140
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:09,360
get used to that. Good pitching, mid hitting all year longer,

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,199
just until like eight May first, all year long last

142
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,680
year fifteenth and team ops this year twelfeenth, twelfth tenth

143
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:24,040
if they go fifteenth in ops with the way this

144
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:26,839
pitching staff is gon at least during spring training they're

145
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:31,240
going to the playoffs. Jordan should play more? Should was it?

146
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:33,839
Forty eight games last year. Let's get more than I

147
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:36,720
would expect that elevated number of that I would Yes,

148
00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:39,800
unless something disastrous happens. Of all the things I have

149
00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:43,199
made you do on gut feelings, I really hope I'm

150
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,839
wrong about the one thirty. No, you put your name

151
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,000
on it, and we made a bet. I gotta pay

152
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,360
you off on that coffee. By the way, Yes, how's

153
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:57,399
that going with the shot foot? What's the latest on that? Uh?

154
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:00,560
Because you told me you inside sources, make give you

155
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:05,319
a little confidence. No, you didn't say that I'm gonna

156
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,480
fall my sword on that. Okay, I'm gonna say something's

157
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,120
externally sketchy with it. Okay, that's still scary. I knew

158
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,120
that was coming in. It's scary. I'm talking about jova

159
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,360
Allen right there, All right, That's what I'm talking about.

160
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,639
All Right, We got that to get to. We have

161
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,560
mentioned Rockets Lakers for two consecutive games. What an interesting

162
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,759
weekend for NBA basketball. There was a hell of a

163
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:27,560
game on Saturday that I know none of you watch,

164
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,560
between Denver and Los Angeles. We will not discuss, but

165
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,600
it was I enjoyed it. Watched a lot of the madness.

166
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:38,120
Honestly and again painting broad brush on this, I could

167
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,720
see five teams comfortably playing for winning the national championship.

168
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:46,039
I don't think there's a significant favorite. Cougars are one

169
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,080
of them. I think the Cougars are probably five out

170
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,960
of that five. But you know what, I'm always gonna

171
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200
have them. They have their back. So they'll be opening

172
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,720
up against the Idaho Vandals in Oklahoma City on Thursday

173
00:08:55,919 --> 00:09:00,960
the nine to ten tip time on Thursday night. Fifth

174
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:06,759
in the final kin Palm regular season rankings, Duke Arizona, Michigan, Florida,

175
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:09,200
then Houston fifth. Yea, all, I mean those are the

176
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,000
five to me that would become across as if you

177
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,039
gave me five of the field, I would it's that

178
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,720
stupid to just stick the five. And no, it's probably

179
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:20,120
gonna be one of those. Yeah, that's how I feel

180
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,600
about that. So we don't have a bracket contest next year?

181
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,639
Won't you start one the sports MT bracket contest. You

182
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:30,480
know what, if you fill out a perfect bracket, I'll

183
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,480
give you one gazillion dollars. Okay with the deal, yeah,

184
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,480
one gazillion empty bucks. You could we could make a

185
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,519
bracket pool. We can't winner gets like a signed eight

186
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:41,960
by ten of Matt Thomas. I don't have any eight

187
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,679
by tens available. You're all out. Let's try to think

188
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,240
of that. Down to five by seven. I can give

189
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,759
you two T shirts. A RAMS Volleyball T shirts Rams

190
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,799
Volleyball Rhode Island and a Good Morning Trippers shirt. Okay,

191
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:55,840
picture of my face on it?

192
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 3: Huh?

193
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: All right, no, I'll pay for that. See, I don't

194
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,559
want you paying for You're not paying for anything as

195
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,559
long when you were going those Good Morning Sugar shirts

196
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,159
you got left five, five or six? You want one?

197
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,240
You don't have? Nan? Would you want to have a

198
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:10,039
picture of my face on your chane? I think I

199
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,879
have one. I think I use it as a as

200
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:15,240
a rag to like to wash my car. What'sh your book?

201
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Write it down? What I use a nice shirt? I

202
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:21,240
mean I use the shirt to wash my car? What's

203
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:21,919
wrong with that?

204
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 3: Is that rude?

205
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: Is that mean?

206
00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:26,639
Speaker 5: Is that so wrong?

207
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: All right? Fine T shirt remark? Let me write this down.

208
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:35,879
What's today? Monday? Start out? We should get the tiptoe.

209
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,200
How many segments are we in? Yeah, let's see what

210
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,960
else going on? We mentioned NBA. We got baseball by

211
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,120
the way Astro's played today. But it's a tape lay game.

212
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,799
We're gonna go full four hours for you guys today

213
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:48,440
because you've missed it so much. We have to tell

214
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,159
the truth. Eleven thirty I've already don't believe it or

215
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:53,279
not today, which I cannot take the cable. It's very googlable, okay.

216
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:56,879
But it's concerning the sixty eight teams in the NCAA tournament. Okay,

217
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,080
So that'll be coming up today at the one fifty.

218
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,120
Let's see what else was I going to tell you? Oh,

219
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:08,840
we have NBA expansion news. Our friends Juicy and friends

220
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,080
in Seattle, Las Vegas are very excited that they are

221
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,720
going to be the teams that are probably going to

222
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,039
get the franchises. Yes, and every NBA team is scheduled

223
00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:18,919
to make and if it sounds out right, about four

224
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,200
hundred million dollars in expansion fees. Excuse me? Yeah, four

225
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:29,519
hundred million per team? What yep, seven to ten billion

226
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,759
dollar range for by It to buy into an NBA team.

227
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,960
What m It's doing?

228
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: Well?

229
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: People that are people that are very very easy to

230
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:39,360
poop poo on the NBA and their lack of success,

231
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:47,200
don't know the economics of sports. Wow. Wow, Okay, that's why, honestly, Rossie,

232
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,360
when you think about this, you know, we were talking

233
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,120
about ways for the NFL to expand and make more

234
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:54,840
money once they get downe with this playing everybody in nationally,

235
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,799
they're gonna they're gonna have two more teams in the NFL.

236
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,039
This might not be the hottest tease ever, but I

237
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:01,480
think one of those cities is a mistake. And I

238
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,080
think you know which one I'm talking You know, you

239
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,879
know which one it is. But you've already discussed it before,

240
00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:10,200
I know, not even a tease, no different audience every day. Okay,

241
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,679
so you can you want to tell us later which

242
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,440
one of that which one of those twos? And then

243
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,360
you have to come up with an alternative because you

244
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,159
have to expand by two. So you okay, you have

245
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,480
other city of mind. I'm sure. Why not? You get

246
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:21,759
like seven minutes figure out. Yeah, I'll go look at

247
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,159
a map of Canada. You're gonna put an NBA team

248
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:26,200
in Manitoba. Okay, that that feels about right?

249
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: Sure?

250
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: Why not seven one three, two one two five seven out?

251
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:30,919
If you'd like to be a part of our radio

252
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:32,879
program that we'd love to have you seven one three

253
00:12:33,039 --> 00:12:35,840
two one two five seven euty seven one three two

254
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,200
one two five seven. I need to tell the truth

255
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,679
today at eleven thirty. We've got to believe it or not.

256
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:45,200
Today we have the news at noon and uh, really

257
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:50,799
kind of a relaxed weekend for for local teams because

258
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:54,440
again Astro Spring training rockets didn't play. We have the brackets.

259
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,600
Uh tell me about Let me ask you this. I

260
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,519
always know who bracket guy is the office. If you

261
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,799
can describe who your bracket guy is that you work with,

262
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:06,639
let us know who that with that bracket guy is

263
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:12,639
all about. Okay, because bracket guy to me, I don't

264
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:14,240
know if he's in the top three or four annoying

265
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,039
most fan you work with or have relationship with. But

266
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,080
he's up there right because he's going to burn around

267
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,320
and tell you about I got Saint Mary's winning. Can

268
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,440
you name a player? No, but I just know you

269
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,519
know where they're from. No, but you know what conference

270
00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,360
they're in. No, can you name any players ever played

271
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,000
for Saint Mary's.

272
00:13:32,039 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 6: No, but.

273
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: Guy annoys me. I'm gonna be a bracket guy. I

274
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,919
usually do four. I lose on this every year with you.

275
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:46,360
I know why I win. I did quite well last year.

276
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:50,559
I can stand on my philosophy principles. A good man

277
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:53,240
only should fill out one bracket. Yeah, why not? Why

278
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,360
pick one combination of the power ball? And when you

279
00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:58,639
can get a couple, I pick up multiples. I never

280
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:00,639
seen to win. I never went anyone. You give yourself

281
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:02,759
a better chance, though, don't you? It feels like I do,

282
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:15,559
but I don't. Alright, So the conundrum with games and controversial,

283
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:18,879
and this is something that could happen in any sport.

284
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,240
There's always a thought of you don't want to let

285
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,039
the game be decided by an umpire or referee, of course,

286
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,919
so let's balance that for a little bit. It's Matt

287
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:34,240
and Ross by the way, Sports ten twenty one. Let's

288
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:36,039
trike three called in the game was atrocious. It was

289
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:40,279
a bad call. It was horrible. But the easy low

290
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:42,799
hanging fruit is you scored one run the entire night.

291
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,960
Don't put yourself in a situation where you're allowing a

292
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,399
game to be in a one run game. So how

293
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,600
do you navigate those murky waters of yeah, we had

294
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,799
other opportunities, but yeah, we want calls, right, and that's

295
00:14:56,799 --> 00:14:58,720
could be a foul that's called late in the game

296
00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:01,360
of a basketball game. It could be a pass interference

297
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:04,799
call in a seventeen thirteen game in a football game

298
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,759
where you weren't able to score two touchdowns in a

299
00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:10,679
first half. How do you do it? I think it's

300
00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:14,679
hard for us to compartmentalize doing what we should have

301
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,519
done earlier in games with the immediacy of we got

302
00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:19,759
screwed by an official call. I mean, it was just

303
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:22,320
it's a bad call. They should they should still be playing.

304
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,200
And that's I don't know how you reconcile that, reconcile

305
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,639
that you just said. I mean, it's the rules of

306
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:28,039
the game and it's how it was played. I mean,

307
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,200
was any sort of abs ever discussed with the WBC.

308
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,000
I don't know. I don't know who runs this thing.

309
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:35,279
I don't you have no call. We'll be an issue

310
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,440
in three years, so it'll be there, So it'll should

311
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,000
be back. I mean probably with a challenge system then.

312
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,960
But even then, what if both teams are out of

313
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,840
challenges in the ninth inning, you can You're still going

314
00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:47,519
to get this. So what I'm going to ask you

315
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:54,639
again is, can you, as a sports fan get past

316
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:58,000
the quote unquote we got screwed on the final play

317
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,440
of games, knowing there were so many other opportunities in

318
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:04,759
life in a game that said, well, if we'd have

319
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,120
converted that third down, or we would have made that field goal,

320
00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:09,320
or we did hit that free throw, or we would

321
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,039
have had that base, we would have got runners at

322
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:13,240
second and third, Nobody at one runner could have scored.

323
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,559
Can you compartmentalize that maybe ninth inning of games or

324
00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:22,279
fourth quarter of games, you're gonna get hosed by officials.

325
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:24,159
I think that's that's what you have to go with.

326
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,320
And that's what normally players will say. And then and

327
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,799
it's true, Uh, you had I'm trying to look at

328
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:32,840
eight left on base by the Dominican Republic throughout the game,

329
00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:34,759
two for nine with an unders in scoring position. They

330
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:38,039
had some other opportunities. You scored on one solo home

331
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,759
run the whole game. Of course it'd go against Paul Skins.

332
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:44,120
It's some other great pitchers and Dason Miller. If we're

333
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,000
doing DR Sports today, DR Sports today, we got screwed.

334
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,200
This is a United States conspiracy, United States umpire behind

335
00:16:51,240 --> 00:17:01,679
home play. Yes, I don't know. I think you and

336
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,680
I if we're on the other side of this forgetting

337
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,119
about what what what? If it was Game seven the

338
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:13,000
World Series, we you and I would we'd be losing

339
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,160
our minds over this ross. And that's what I'm say.

340
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:20,759
It's hard. It's hard for us to say, well, okay,

341
00:17:20,759 --> 00:17:22,880
if the Astros lose Game seven the World Series to

342
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:26,680
the Dodgers on a strike three call to end the game,

343
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:29,200
oh but man, we had our chance in the fourth inning,

344
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,119
runners at first base, loaded nobody out and didn't score

345
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,160
any runs. All that should have been the chance for

346
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,480
us taken lead. You know, it's we don't work that way.

347
00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:38,160
We we have sports fans don't work that way. I

348
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,319
think we I mean, well, we have to and we have.

349
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,920
And when it comes to football games or you know,

350
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:45,640
the missfield goal at the end of the Baltimore Ravens game,

351
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,839
you can say, oh, well, you know, we had the

352
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,720
other opportunities, of other opportunities to win the game. When

353
00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,079
when a certain NFL team doesn't win on the last

354
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,000
drive or doesn't get it done, or there's a bad

355
00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,039
passer interference call, stuff like that, it happens a lot

356
00:17:57,079 --> 00:17:59,839
in other sports. So I think that's just where you

357
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,519
have to go with it. And it is the truth

358
00:18:01,559 --> 00:18:03,960
as well. Is it coping, I don't know, but it's

359
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,680
also the truth. They had other opportunities to win the game,

360
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,440
but it's it's true to say that, but it's also

361
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,759
true to say they got their best opportunity, and not

362
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:15,599
best opportunity, but an opportunity robbed Mecu. You got to

363
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,759
run it at third with two outs, the guy would

364
00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:20,200
have walked. They gote to first base, you did first

365
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,799
and third two. I don't know who the next hitter was.

366
00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:27,400
For the DR I'm gonna go with the stance of

367
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,519
I don't think you have. You got to live both ways.

368
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:32,799
You're gonna have to be pissed the moment and be

369
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,680
upset and be grouchy, and then also realize there were

370
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,720
other opportunities earlier in the contest in order to take

371
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,599
the leads. In sports, it's many, Like many things in life, Matt,

372
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:45,599
you can change your perspective on however you want to feel.

373
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,240
If you want to feel like you got screwed and

374
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,839
it was the worst thing ever, you can do that.

375
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,279
Or you can say, hey, we had some other opportunities.

376
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,160
That's on us. But bitter fans don't want to do that,

377
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,480
and guess what we If we were better fans, if

378
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,839
we were team dr we would better to I think

379
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,599
you should be. I mean, yeah, it it was gonna

380
00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:05,640
It was per Domo that struck out. It looks like

381
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,000
it was gonna flip to the top of the order.

382
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,640
Fernando Tatist Junior was that the leadoff was up next.

383
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 7: He knows.

384
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,039
Speaker 2: The second thing I was thinking during this, what's you know?

385
00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:17,759
Mason Military is now a pottery was at any for

386
00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:20,079
the longest time and got traded up to no surprise.

387
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:24,440
Freaking haws. Dude, he's throwing one oh two. Yes, let

388
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,359
me ask you. This is he throwing one oh two

389
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,400
in March sixteenth in a game in Yuma, Arizona. Probably,

390
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,480
I would say so. He threw over twenty pitches in

391
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:36,079
the ninth inning. Now I don't know if he's doing that.

392
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,079
I'm just saying they got one more game to go

393
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,680
to play for the whole thing. Yeah, how many games

394
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,640
has he pitched in? Do we know? I'll go look

395
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,240
it up, you look it up. I don't. It's just

396
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,400
so leverage. And I know this once every three years.

397
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,519
I keep I keep trying to put that through my brain.

398
00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:58,000
It's only once every three years, Mack, get over. Okay, okay,

399
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,160
but damn you are asking and your dude, if you're

400
00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:03,799
how does Padre fans dree Field's got to be feeling

401
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:05,400
like what is he doing out there throwing twenty pitches

402
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,680
in a March spring training or in a March game.

403
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,960
He's trying to win for his country, Matt, That's what

404
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:11,400
he's doing.

405
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 4: You know.

406
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,279
Speaker 2: It's also really weird last night and it's I don't

407
00:20:16,279 --> 00:20:18,440
want to say this for for Thursday. I just don't

408
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:18,680
get it.

409
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 3: You know.

410
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: The for U tab is dangerous as dangerous. A lot

411
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:29,240
of Ken Rosenthal hate out there. Really, Yes, he doesn't

412
00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:32,319
bother me. He's not a reason why I watch a

413
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,200
game now. He didn't do himself, and he favors last

414
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:38,119
year when he raned that guy fell down the camera

415
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,319
guy and he stood out the way and stared then

416
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:41,960
shoot him down at him, which made him look like

417
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,559
a douche.

418
00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: Uh.

419
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: You know, the bow tie thing is kind of a bit.

420
00:20:50,839 --> 00:20:52,160
I know he tries to raise some money for that,

421
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,920
which is a good thing, but there is a lot

422
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:55,519
of hate for that.

423
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:55,799
Speaker 3: Bro.

424
00:20:56,759 --> 00:20:59,279
Speaker 2: Four games, four innings pitch for Mason Miller.

425
00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 3: How many?

426
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: How many? How many pitches per in those those first

427
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,759
three is to say yesterday, I don't have a pitch

428
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:09,519
count on this. The WBC stats that are actually kind

429
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:11,200
of hard to come by. I don't have a pitch count.

430
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:16,240
It's okay, but yeah, I know the presentation was fine,

431
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,640
you know, to get the Derek Jeters out there and

432
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,880
to do the pregame. I mean, obviously Fox treated his

433
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,240
big deal and their ratings are fantastic, and he used to.

434
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,839
We did a great a bunch of people out there.

435
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,039
It's a full stadium there in Miami, which is so normal. Yes,

436
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,160
they weren't used to it were they understaffed. Everybody able

437
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,839
to get their dogs and they're not chos, Yeah, because

438
00:21:37,839 --> 00:21:40,559
they usually fit like they staff are like eight thousand people.

439
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:45,319
They're like thirty five thousand there. Yeah, how about our

440
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:48,920
boy break not even playing, dude, that's tough. That's okay,

441
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,279
he's representing the USA. Well, all right, let's go take

442
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:55,079
a quick time out. Come back. Jonathan wants to talking

443
00:21:55,079 --> 00:21:58,160
about the WBC. What else we got to get to

444
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,279
We got some asteroids, chick, those astro numbers. I think

445
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:05,200
we're I think the pitch numbers are gonna really enjoy

446
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,119
good hitting numbers. We can pass up well if you

447
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,400
got a ride un roll, it's just oh hell ridde

448
00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:13,160
l row credit about hell baby? Where is he now?

449
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,839
Did he get sent home? Please have many We don't

450
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,960
need more ride unroll? Why not guys playing six days

451
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,240
a week. I've never seen a guy who had his

452
00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:23,279
jersey retired in spring training, but it's about to happen

453
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:26,000

00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,519
off on another tease you had about WHOA one of

460
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:49,279
the two expansions cities not being a good one. Oh man,

461
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:50,960
I gotta pull back up my list of biggest media

462
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,720
markets in the United States because you put me on

463
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,000
the spot. Made me come up with an alternative. I

464
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,880
had to because if you're gonna dump one, you gotta

465
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,119
add one. He's gotta add two. By the way, all right,

466
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,480
Man and Ross, you on Sports Talk seven, I had

467
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,519
seven to one three two, one, two, five, seven. I

468
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:05,839
need Jonathan and Fulscher with this on seven. Iey, Jonathan,

469
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:06,799
good morning to you.

470
00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 6: What's up guys, get your mother love and ears on.

471
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: That sounds very early familiar.

472
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:17,799
Speaker 6: I know I kind of miss it. Uh listen, i'mt

473
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,519
I know you didn't tune in until the ninth Russy

474
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,119
watched the highlights. The one thing I'll say is that

475
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:31,119
umpire throughout the entire game. He expanded that strike zone

476
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,240
like nobody's business. I mean, I remember just early on

477
00:23:35,319 --> 00:23:38,480
in the game looking at my wife and was like, look,

478
00:23:38,559 --> 00:23:41,680
how far off these pitches are? I mean, and it

479
00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:45,519
was on both sides. So while I will say yeah,

480
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,640
it was rough to see that call, it actually wasn't

481
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,160
too far off from how wide he had expanded that

482
00:23:54,279 --> 00:23:58,640
strike zone, So I would just say yeah. And to

483
00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:01,920
Matt's point, I mean, and that's exactly what I told

484
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,359
the wife last night. I'm like, don't put yourself in

485
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,200
a position to where you're letting the umpire dictate whether

486
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,039
you win or lose the game. But at the same time,

487
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,240
it was fairly consistent to what he was calling yesterday.

488
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, I don't hang up yet. You

489
00:24:19,279 --> 00:24:21,799
just said widening the strike zone, and you're not the

490
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:24,200
only person's ever said that. It's it's an often used

491
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,599
sports term. The strike zone is the strike zone. It's

492
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,640
not supposed to shrink or grow. It's supposed to be consistent.

493
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:35,720
And that's what I think one of the biggest complete.

494
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 6: I totally agree that's what the strike zone's for. And

495
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,279
I feel like it makes it worse the fact that

496
00:24:42,519 --> 00:24:45,119
us as viewers. I mean, if you're at the ballpark,

497
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,119
I mean, yes, it was super low. It probably a

498
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,720
lot of people noticed it from the stand. But when

499
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,200
you're watching it on TV and you see the you

500
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:57,839
see the strike zone clearly and how low that that

501
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,720
pitch was, Yeah, it makes it. It makes it worse

502
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,039
for sure. Uh but yeah, No, I mean I have

503
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,960
been all for the you know, using technology because it's like,

504
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,920
just get the freaking call right. Just get the calls right.

505
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,279
That's the group I'm in. I don't care about it.

506
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:20,359
Seems like baseball is the worst sport to want to

507
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,839
accept using technology because it's just goes against the you

508
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,160
know how how the game has been played for one

509
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,480
hundred years or whatever, but it's just bs, just get

510
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:34,720
the calls right. That's all I mean, That's how.

511
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 7: I feel about it.

512
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,799
Speaker 6: Anyways, I'm going to hop back into work.

513
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: But thanks, thank you, Jonathan. Just get the calls right, Jonathan,

514
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,000
Jonathan Ross, get the calls right. I'm standing from in

515
00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:49,799
this way. I truly believe this will be the gateway drug.

516
00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:50,720
Like I said, I don't know if it's going to

517
00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:54,240
be three years, five years, ten years, but eventually people

518
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,519
the light bulb will go on. People will say this

519
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,119
technology is already in place, let's use it for every pitch.

520
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,359
Here's the thing to your argument that you're gonna have

521
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,920
to fight mm hmm. It's not gonna be the get

522
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,160
off my long guy. It's gonna be the twenty seven

523
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,200
year old baseball player too. Because we've interviewed plenty of

524
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,480
players over the years that aren't all in on this.

525
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,000
So let me ask you this, how do you convince

526
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,279
besides saying getting every call right, why are you having

527
00:26:25,319 --> 00:26:28,359
to you being the let's get abs for every single call?

528
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:30,519
Why are you fighting twenty seven year old? Right, I'm

529
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:32,400
not twenty five. I'm not fighting most of the twenty

530
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,039
seven year olds because a lot of them were younger

531
00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:35,680
and they were in triple A and double A and

532
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,039
they had to deal with it. A lot of the

533
00:26:37,079 --> 00:26:39,839
older players that we interviewed certainly are like, oh, I

534
00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:42,079
love the human element. I love the human element. That's

535
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:44,119
because that's how they came up, That's how they that's

536
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,279
their tradition, that's what they're comfortable with, that's what they're

537
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,720
used to. But the more players we've talked to as

538
00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:50,359
the years have gone on, Matt and we have been

539
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,480
interviewing these players at fan Fest and here on this

540
00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:55,440
show and out It'spring training, it has been more of

541
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,119
a tide turning with the guys who are like, oh, yeah,

542
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,680
I've already dealt with it. Oh yeah, I already like it,

543
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,720
I go or I don't like. They have opinions where

544
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,079
you know, we heard from multiple guys who want either

545
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,799
all or nothing, or they're they're in favor of all

546
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:07,880
of it. So I think that that's where the tide

547
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,400
is turning to. You have these players who have dealt

548
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,200
with it, and I think eventually, as I said, people

549
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,160
will see you're going to get big miss calls where

550
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,119
teams are out of challenges and say, hey, the technology

551
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,920
is already in place, let's just go ahead and use it.

552
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:25,079
That's where you're going to win your battle when you're

553
00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:29,119
out of challenges. Mm hmm. That's what happened last night.

554
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,440
The WPC happens in a World Series game and everybody's

555
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,960
out of challenges. I mean, and it has happened. It

556
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,400
does happen. Bad calls have been happening in playoff games

557
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:43,920
for all, I mean for years. Yeah, I wonder how

558
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,319
much of it, how much of it is Team USA

559
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,000
had a USA umpire behind it. I don't know. You

560
00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:56,079
want to go to Santo Domingos, sports leader, you take

561
00:27:56,079 --> 00:27:58,720
a tap in out of the Japanese umpires, poor, I

562
00:27:58,759 --> 00:28:02,799
have no idea. Probably I'm gonna guess Major League Baseball

563
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:05,160
has the best umpires and the world. So, I mean,

564
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,039
maybe I'm just being a foolish, uh borish American. I

565
00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:11,720
don't know Japan. I would love to find out. Thoseres

566
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:13,599
on my list. I want to go see the world

567
00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:16,920
before I die, So let's go. If I can get

568
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,119
a paid trip, you can pay for it. No, I

569
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,359
mean you said you're gonna send me. Oh no, I'm

570
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,680
sending you to San Antonio for the second playoffs. I'll

571
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:33,839
go there. I'll take the Mayhound. There's what's that? What's

572
00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:35,960
that one dollar double decker bus thing that that's not bad?

573
00:28:36,039 --> 00:28:36,480
Mega bus?

574
00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:36,759
Speaker 8: Yeah?

575
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: Hey, I believe they folded oh those dollars to be true. Yeah,

576
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:43,359
that's gonna put you on that ROSSI sorry about that,

577
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,920
and that's okay. Seven one three two one two five

578
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,319
seven hounty. Look, I you know me. I love technology,

579
00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:54,000
I love replay. I should be on your side. I know,

580
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:56,359
why aren't you? I mean, you are traditionally some many

581
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,799
things too. But I guess what I'm worried about is

582
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:04,160
the practicality of it. And look, if we're not talking

583
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,680
about this being a something in five years from now, that,

584
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,079
if it's a streamline process, then I could probably certainly

585
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:11,039
flip my opinion on this. I just think that there's

586
00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:17,839
going to be way more logistical issues than uh, peer

587
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,759
at the red first blush And again, hopefully I'm wrong

588
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:23,200
about this. I also gotta deal with some egos too.

589
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,200
You're basically telling the world of baseball that you've been

590
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,240
doing this one thing for over one hundred years and

591
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,640
you're getting it wrong too much, and we're going to

592
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,680
let these umpires just stand back there. That's why I'm

593
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,160
calling this the gateway drug is you're going from one

594
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,200
to the other. And I don't know, Like I said,

595
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:43,079
when the when the CBA lapses with the umpires union

596
00:29:43,119 --> 00:29:45,000
and how you get them on board and stuff like that.

597
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:47,720
There's obviously a lot of hurdles and ones I don't

598
00:29:47,759 --> 00:29:49,599
even know about. I'm sure to try to get this

599
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,240
in place. For every pitch he goes. You know what,

600
00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:54,400
and this is an analogy in place. Tell all this,

601
00:29:54,480 --> 00:30:00,279
Oh we love you, love this, but yet we don't

602
00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:03,440
love call centers that are automated. You don't love it

603
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:07,599
a you know what I'm saying. I'm just out there's honestly,

604
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,000
let's just go ahead and sholve that one. Are you sure? Yes?

605
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:13,160
Because are you sure it's bad? Yes? Because this is

606
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,519
about the rules of the game. The twenty six thousand

607
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,799
miss calls last year, thirteen hundred strikeouts that should have

608
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,680
not been strikeouts. But there's a different streamline process, just

609
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,079
like a streamline call center is going to get no, no, no, no, no.

610
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,160
This is a bad analogy. I'm sorry, you're correct, you're

611
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,920
getting right what has been done wrong. That's all you're doing.

612
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,960
You're correcting mistakes. If I said, hey, there was twenty

613
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,680
six thousand mistakes last year in a sport that we

614
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,440
can fix with the snap of a finger. Would you

615
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:51,680
do it if things were if? Yeah, of course I

616
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,680
would do it. Well that's silly. Yeah, okay, that's all

617
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,119
I'm saying. And you're also taking the power away from

618
00:30:58,119 --> 00:31:01,480
a human being. Can still brush off the plate, call

619
00:31:01,559 --> 00:31:04,079
home safe, and I can throw the ball not make

620
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:06,880
it as much. Why wouldn't they That's another that they

621
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,160
have that have to bargain that. And guess what union's

622
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,039
been busted and in these times, in these days, twenty

623
00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:17,079
six unions. Yeah, I mean, Matt, we can get you

624
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:19,240
out there. You can call out save at home, and

625
00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:21,920
you have the safety net of replay as well. With that.

626
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,799
You can toss a ball. How's how's your arm? You

627
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:26,720
can toss the ball to the picture when he needs one.

628
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:29,119
Guy takes one off the shin, So you gotta walk

629
00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:31,119
in the picture and take some time off. Let me

630
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,359
take the umpires out of this. Okay, why do you

631
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:33,880
need this at all?

632
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,079
Speaker 3: Then?

633
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:36,279
Speaker 2: But all those things I just said, you gotta brush

634
00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:37,599
off the plate, you gotta get the ball to the guy,

635
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,559
you gotta you gotta watch the pitch clock and base

636
00:31:39,599 --> 00:31:41,839
third base. Yeah, we need you to call out and safe.

637
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,880
Why can't we use the computers to do that? Maybe

638
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,359
you can, and then we'll get rid of you too.

639
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,920
And guess what, then you don't have to pay you

640
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,440
what do you to go to your rocky call center?

641
00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:51,880
Same thing as I'm power home plate, first base, second base.

642
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:54,440
John Elimination is a thing in this country, Matthew. That's

643
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,240
so I'm saying you, and you should know this. You

644
00:31:56,359 --> 00:31:59,200
and your way. Most you are trying to get I'm

645
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,519
trying to get the car comps out there. I'm trying

646
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:05,240
to get the calls right. Most of these umpires have

647
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,000
Do they have second jobs or no? I don't know.

648
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,400
They're they're all full time. You're taking jobs away. That's

649
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,920
what ROSS does, take jobs away. They can still be

650
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,079
back there. They still need to call fair and foul

651
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,640
out and say you know what, get you to do it.

652
00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:22,240
Why do we need umpiring training for that? Yeah, you

653
00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:25,599
get trained, But the most difficult job you're helping them out?

654
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,519
What if they get crushed? Most for if I looked

655
00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:31,559
at the mentions of Umpires Association Universe, Major League Baseball

664
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,519
It is Matt at Ross with you here on Sports

665
00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:02,440
Talk seven seven one three two one two five Savinatti

666
00:33:02,519 --> 00:33:08,400
seven one three two one two five Savinatti. I mentioned

667
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,799
this a little while ago. The NBA is going to expand.

668
00:33:10,839 --> 00:33:13,799
According to Shams, no surprise. The two teams the cities

669
00:33:13,799 --> 00:33:16,119
that are being talked about most Seattle, which deserves an

670
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,240
NBA franchise, and Las Vegas has become the new sports

671
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:23,640
playground for the world. The hockey team's very good. The

672
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,839
Raiders have done well. There's the A's are moving there

673
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,279
in a couple of years, and uh they're about to

674
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:32,200
get a fourth NBA four They're gonna have more professional

675
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,279
sports teams in the city. Houston will be I don't

676
00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:40,279
count the Dynamo. I'm sorry, I don't Hey please, Uh yeah,

677
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:45,559
they're gonna get the team and you are against. Not again,

678
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,359
I shouldn't say against, but you don't think it's three six.

679
00:33:47,599 --> 00:33:49,960
I have questions about the long term viability of the

680
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,400
Las Vegas economy to support three teams.

681
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:54,799
Speaker 3: Now.

682
00:33:54,839 --> 00:33:58,559
Speaker 2: I do have a lot of locals there, but I

683
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,599
just feel like the way the casino have been going

684
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:03,480
and getting squeezed and losing a lot of money, apparently

685
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,599
they're taking a bat. The people who invested in this

686
00:34:05,759 --> 00:34:08,960
sphere are taking a bath as well. Jump by the way,

687
00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:10,400
that was in the very beginning, it was like they

688
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,920
put all these billions of dollars into the sphere and

689
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:15,199
they are losing a bunch of money. And I mean,

690
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,920
I guess they're putting a package. Did you even hear this?

691
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,920
Matt Pacquiao Mayweather two is going to be in the

692
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,599
sphere like in September or something like that. It I

693
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,559
just have questions how long term viable this this economy

694
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:29,599
is because the young young kids are not going there

695
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:36,239
as as far as the Jonathan twenty something age twenty somethings,

696
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,039
it's not as cheic of a destination. You have sports

697
00:34:39,079 --> 00:34:41,719
betting that's legal in like thirty states now, so you

698
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,239
don't you know, matt when when you and I were younger,

699
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,440
one of the big appeals of going to Las Vegas

700
00:34:46,519 --> 00:34:49,000
was to be able to bet bet on sports. You

701
00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:51,360
didn't have to find some shady offshore guy or some

702
00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:54,000
random bookie or anything like that. You can go there

703
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,400
and bet on sports. And now you can do it

704
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,960
on apps, and everybody notices, everyone you talk to the

705
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,239
that it is the least of our age or maybe

706
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,719
even a little younger Matty, Like they're like, oh, yeah,

707
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,199
Vegas used to be this. Vegas used to be that,

708
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:07,639
And I don't even want to go anymore. And it's

709
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:10,440
not as appealing. So I don't know how how good

710
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,280
that long that economy is going to be long term.

711
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,239
I'm not saying it's gonna completely bust, but it wouldn't

712
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,840
shock me. Uh, Vegas to me, you've lost that twenty

713
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,840
something crowd. It's too expensive, the resort fees, the airfares,

714
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,440
the hotel. When you and I were twenty, yeah, now

715
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:29,519
that was quite a bit better comps, better comps, but

716
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:30,760
waitress come by more.

717
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:31,559
Speaker 4: You.

718
00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:35,599
Speaker 2: Vegas can clearly still give you a nine dollars taking

719
00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:38,880
eggs because they're not they're that's a food that's a

720
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,559
sunk cost in order to get you to gamble that

721
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:44,480
they they're making the decision to charge you twenty nine

722
00:35:44,519 --> 00:35:47,199
dollars or forty nine dollars compared to nine dollars. They're

723
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,760
making the conscious decision to charge you eighty nine dollars

724
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,119
for room that was twenty nine dollars three years ago,

725
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,599
and adding resorts fees to it. They're just being greedy.

726
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,840
It's still a destination for shows. It is still a destination,

727
00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:04,159
but it is you're looking to fill up sixteen forty

728
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,239
two games a year, forty one games a year. It's

729
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,280
seventeen thousand people. I think you can do it. I

730
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,599
think baseball is gonna be way trickier than it's gonna be.

731
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,719
Basket baseball is gonna be trickier. And then you add basketball,

732
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,039
and I mean, yeah, they had the NFL. The NFL's king.

733
00:36:18,559 --> 00:36:20,800
Remember wait a week. I'm glad we didn't follow through

734
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,599
on our bright idea of buying a Las Vegas PSLs

735
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,360
because apparently the ticket sales have been underwhelming there. Yep,

736
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,400
Vegas had a tenth consecutive month of tourism decline in

737
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,599
earlier this year. I just I just googled Vegas. You

738
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:36,480
know what Vegas says about that we don't care and

739
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,239
pisses me. I love Vegas. If visitors declining ten straight months,

740
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,400
they should care. They don't care. Twenty twenty five a

741
00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:46,159
seven point five percent drop in visitors, three point one

742
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,960
million fewer visitors year over year from twenty five, and

743
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,039
then twenty six is already off to a slow start.

744
00:36:54,159 --> 00:36:56,280
I think it's I think alarm bell should be going off.

745
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,960
I don't disagree with you at all. I just I

746
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,119
don't disagree. But it's the NBA. It's a sexy city.

747
00:37:03,679 --> 00:37:06,559
You can get fans of other teams to make a trip,

748
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:09,000
even in the middle of the week for Charlotte to

749
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,679
play at Las Vegas, and people will come. I I, yeah,

750
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,679
it's forty two days. It's I think it's Baseball should

751
00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:19,719
be way more concerned. Yeah. Now, since you've said that

752
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,079
Vegas may struggle, which I disagree with. Yes, you must

753
00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:25,559
come up with a plan B okay, and I there's

754
00:37:25,559 --> 00:37:27,719
a plan B s We're going this together. What is

755
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,360
your what is your idea? Saint Louis, you were to

756
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,280
Kansas City, Kansas City would be the place. Yeah, So

757
00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:38,559
Vegas is the number forty market, Cincinnati thirty seven, Austin

758
00:37:38,639 --> 00:37:42,760
is thirty four, Kansas City's thirty three. Kansas City has

759
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,679
a nineteen thousand seat areen that was just packed for

760
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,880
Big twelve basketball this weekend. They even have people go

761
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,400
to the game against Arizona Houston in a day. That's

762
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:54,199
a great that's a great, great basketball metropolis. Nashville's twenty six.

763
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,519
I'm just looking at Media Martin. Yes, Pittsburgh's twenty seven,

764
00:37:56,559 --> 00:38:02,920
Saint Louis twenty four. Saint Louis struggles with sports teams. Yeah,

765
00:38:03,079 --> 00:38:06,280
Nashville's really wants baseball really really bad. They're gonna put

766
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,360
to all their blood, sweat and tears behind it. And

767
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,400
then of course the biggest one remaining is SeaTac at thirteen. Yeah,

768
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,960
Seattle's a no brainer. I really, you're you're gonna lose

769
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,800
this one, and that's you're trying to lose it. No,

770
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,400
I'm not trying to win. I'm just saying I have

771
00:38:18,519 --> 00:38:21,599
I have long term concerns about I mean, December visitors

772
00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:23,800
in twenty twenty five year over year down nine point

773
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:30,079
two percent. That's a lot if that continues. I don't know.

774
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,400
Somebody in the in the market disagrees with me. They

775
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,360
should they live there good, So I'd love to educate me.

776
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,519
I don't know everything. I'm just talking out loud. My

777
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:43,119
My initial thought is, first aall forty one dates, not

778
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:47,079
counting preseason and playoffs. Second ball, it's only seventeen thousand seats. Yeah,

779
00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:49,079
it's forty one day. But I'm saying at it with

780
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:51,239
the hockey, at it, with the baseball, at it, with

781
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,199
the I mean, you're adding three new teams in what

782
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,679
ten years? Can they support all those? But you're with

783
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,559
the long term, But how about the population explosion? Of course,

784
00:38:59,559 --> 00:39:01,719
the thing is they have to win. That's the most

785
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,960
important thing. Yeah, at the Las Vegas whatever, twenty one,

786
00:39:05,039 --> 00:39:07,320
they're not gonna be the twenty ones. It's the Las

787
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,280
Vegas Aces. Get there. By the way, you have Lebron

788
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,119
James gonna own this team, supposedly, Yeah, you don't mean

789
00:39:13,119 --> 00:39:15,519
that there's gonna be some star power behind that. There

790
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:20,039
will be. Lebron James gets into gets into one of

791
00:39:20,039 --> 00:39:23,760
his massive limousines and runs around town, goes to Henderson,

792
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,800
goes to other partners. Oh, here we go, ever go out? Yeah, okay,

793
00:39:28,519 --> 00:39:31,639
come by season tickets. Okay, Ross again, you're looking at

794
00:39:31,679 --> 00:39:35,440
seventeen thousand seats. If I'm the A's I'm way more

795
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,360
and worried. We'll see. I think the A should be worried.

796
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,920
I'm just talking about that. Yeah, the city and the

797
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,119
economy of the city as all, it's built on tourism

798
00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:43,960
that is in a massive decline, and we get to

799
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,000
fix that. I'm doing my part. We're doing our part.

800
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,360
We're going going to July. We're doing our part. David

801
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,360
in Las Vegas. Hi, David.

802
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,679
Speaker 3: I have to try him in and I just have

803
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,519
to district I thank you guys. They're missing, like a

804
00:40:01,559 --> 00:40:04,079
lot of people are missing the point about why all

805
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:07,000
these sports teams are succeeding here and they're going to

806
00:40:07,039 --> 00:40:11,599
continue to succeed here. And I'll address the questions of

807
00:40:11,639 --> 00:40:14,440
the visitation decline and the long term problems too. But

808
00:40:14,519 --> 00:40:16,440
the meantime, as a city, we're still growing. They're two

809
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:17,840
to two and a half million of us here in

810
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,800
this Vegas valley, and whatever the figure is for the

811
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:26,000
media market, it keeps growing. But anyway, the thing about

812
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:29,760
Vegas it's so totally unique. Is not the gambling of

813
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,320
the legal gaming ping. It's that we've got this almost

814
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,159
two hundred thousand hotel rooms right here on the strip

815
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:41,880
in nearby, and they are filled any time with you know,

816
00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:47,400
as for accidental visitors, conventioneers, business meetings, as well as

817
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,800
people have just come out here for the gaming and

818
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,559
the entertainment and so on. Tens the hundreds of thousands

819
00:40:53,639 --> 00:40:56,280
of people are in these hotel rooms. They're there on weekdays,

820
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,519
they're there on weekends, they're there on daytime hours, they're

821
00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:02,559
there on night time hours, and they are looking for

822
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,320
entertainment constantly. They're going to search to sole at shows,

823
00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:10,440
they're seeing magicians, they're going to fancy night clubs, they're

824
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,599
seeing live music concerts. They're racing go karts, they're doing whatever.

825
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,679
And if you offer live professional sports as an entertainment option,

826
00:41:20,559 --> 00:41:24,960
people flock to that. And it doesn't matter if it's

827
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,440
your favorite team, doesn't even matter. I it's their favorite store.

828
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,639
I can tell you from the you know, the lift

829
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,000
driving that I do around here. I take people all

830
00:41:32,039 --> 00:41:35,159
the time to Golden Knights games saying hey, you know,

831
00:41:35,199 --> 00:41:35,639
we don't.

832
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 6: Know much about hockey.

833
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,159
Speaker 3: But we hear the team was in town, so we

834
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:42,000
thought we'd check it out. And the results are there.

835
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,440
The Raiders have the highest retail price or resale ticket

836
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,360
price in the entire NFL. The Golden Knights, where everybody

837
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,800
said hockey will never work in the desert, they have

838
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,239
the highest percentage of capacity attendance in the entire National

839
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,280
Hockey League. If you put live sports is an entertainment option,

840
00:42:02,639 --> 00:42:06,960
and a city where's starved full A visitors, starved for entertainment,

841
00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:10,599
the tickets are gonna get sold. So that's what I

842
00:42:10,679 --> 00:42:13,559
just have to say about anybody predicting problems for the

843
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:18,800
A's or the new basketball team or whatever. It's all

844
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:19,400
gonna work.

845
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 2: I I would tend to agree. I think even what

846
00:42:23,599 --> 00:42:30,320
they decline, Las Vegas has the just has this. I

847
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,320
don't know what I'm saying. It has astique. Yeah, it

848
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,880
draws you that it does, and it's for us, and

849
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,920
it's matter and Ross and I've talked about this all

850
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,320
the time, and David, thank you for the phone call.

851
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,320
Was like, Hey, let's go to Let's go to Phoenix

852
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,079
to go gamble because we can get three to two,

853
00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:46,360
or we can go to Biloxi. Or they just don't

854
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,719
carry the same cachet as Vegas. That's because the food,

855
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,159
the experience, the down we you and I are downtown

856
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:55,719
a haulics now we we love downtown. We can't get

857
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,400
that in Blexiopy. But it's yeah, I'm talking about long term.

858
00:42:59,519 --> 00:43:03,719
I know, Yeah, I don't know. I I uh to

859
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:06,760
me the I if all the teams are gonna worry,

860
00:43:07,159 --> 00:43:09,239
it's gonna be the A's. But even even David make

861
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,519
its a point. People just bumping around town looking for

862
00:43:11,559 --> 00:43:14,159
doing something. We need to get these kids gambling. How

863
00:43:14,159 --> 00:43:16,719
do we get these kids back gambling? You know what

864
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,480
they're doing. You know the reason why they're charging these

865
00:43:18,559 --> 00:43:21,239
higher rooms speak you know, I think about this. Probably

866
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,840
reason one of the rooms are paying higher is because

867
00:43:23,039 --> 00:43:25,440
the kids aren't gambling. They're going to They're going to

868
00:43:25,519 --> 00:43:27,840
Las Vegas to go to the pool and to go

869
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,679
to the night clubs. They're not spending the money in

870
00:43:29,679 --> 00:43:32,280
the casinos. If the casinos were the handle was higher,

871
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,960
maybe they would we start to reduce the rooms, but

872
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,239
they don't want to do it. They're like, all right,

873
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,519
so we're gonna get some twenty three year olds that

874
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:38,079
are gonna come to gamble. Guess what we're gonna get

875
00:43:38,119 --> 00:43:40,239
them in the in the pocketbook. But for the hotel room, well,

876
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,840
they should offer the comps and then if they don't

877
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,679
get us, they don't get used. It didn't cost them anything.

878
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,239
They should just take care of us. They do go

879
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,760
to gamble. Yeah, hey, are you coming to Vegas? Yes?

880
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,480
What is your limit? What do you want to willing

881
00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:51,760
to spend? Can you promise you're gonna spend this? Yes,

882
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,880
the room is taken care of. I will I will

883
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,519
never ever buy if you pay for my hotel on

884
00:43:57,559 --> 00:44:00,559
the Strip, I'm down, I guess. But I'm gonna always

885
00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:02,760
push for Downtown. I shouldn't say I will never ever

886
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,360
go stay on the Strip again, but I will be

887
00:44:06,599 --> 00:44:09,280
huge push for downtown and once, if, if, and when

888
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,320
that gets squeezed, I'm gonna be done with the whole town.

889
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,679
But I know I'm not. I'm not everybody. I think

890
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:19,000
Downtown still got a shot for a while. Yeah, I'm old,

891
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:21,880
I'm going downtown. Give me that three to two ten bucks,

892

up with us to tell the truth. It's difficult. I've

924
00:46:10,679 --> 00:46:12,440

invited you out on Saturday and you said you're busy.

935
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:34,599

Race Park. I saw your photosh Did you see that?

940
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,719
Apparently the pro tip is to take the cocktail shrimp,

941
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,199
bring it to the pasta station at the buffet, and

942
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,440
then have him cook it there. The buffet was incredible.

943
00:46:52,679 --> 00:46:56,400
I had a trifecta, made some money, had a good time.

944
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,239

I don't believe you. And that's okay, though part of

953
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:19,840

00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,440

955
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,360

959
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,360
you guys are thinking about. Uh, and we got astros,

960
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,679
We've got Rockets Lakers. Can we get some rocket Laker

961
00:47:39,679 --> 00:47:42,280
buzzs tonight? I'd like to have it fill building full

962
00:47:42,519 --> 00:47:45,400
now with a bunch of Lebron lovers. Blah Blah's injury

963
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,960
report looking like he was fine Saturday night. Okay, Austin

964
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,760
Reeves was to just that was such a good game.

965
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:56,360
I wish people cared James on seven ninty. Hello, James, Yeah,

966
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:57,559
you'all talking about the Empires.

967
00:47:57,599 --> 00:47:59,639
Speaker 10: I was a high school and buyer for sixteen years.

968
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,039
And when you go to the Yeah, they're bad.

969
00:48:05,639 --> 00:48:08,039
Speaker 2: James, James, let me hear your strike call.

970
00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 10: It was just short and loud like that. But nevertheless,

971
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,960
uh nevertheless, the coaches what they'll complain about the most off,

972
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,679
you're not consistent if that's a strike. If you're get

973
00:48:21,679 --> 00:48:23,280
in the lower corner and you're calling the strike every

974
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,800
single time to five. But the minuting you call a striking,

975
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,599
you don't call us strike. That's when they start complaining.

976
00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:29,800
So as long as you're you're consistent, I mean there's

977
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,400
a strike of course there's a strike zone, but the

978
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,039
main thing the coaches complain about consistency. If you're consistent,

979
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,840
there's five. And I got a lot of confidence on

980
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,760
my strikes. I mean, I'm not trying to brag it myself,

981
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:40,559
but I should.

982
00:48:40,599 --> 00:48:43,559
Speaker 2: That's okay. It sounds like you are trying, James. You

983
00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:45,079
are a lot of brag about yourself. That's okay. That's

984
00:48:45,079 --> 00:48:46,000
good stuff, though, James.

985
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,039
Speaker 10: I mean college fucking talmball wanted me all the time.

986
00:48:49,519 --> 00:48:52,000
They have a question your times, because so good my strikes.

987
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,039
Speaker 2: You have a what's the craziest story about? Like throwing

988
00:48:55,039 --> 00:48:56,360
somebody out or some kind of incident.

989
00:48:58,639 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 10: The craziest story I had, I mean, see, uh, well.

990
00:49:02,599 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 2: There was we had one game where.

991
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 10: I thought, I thought the out thild, I mean the

992
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000
bass umpire had called the third out at third base,

993
00:49:13,079 --> 00:49:15,679
but he didn't, but it looked like he raised his

994
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,199
right hand in and out. So the guy came home

995
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,320
and scored. And of course everybody goes ballistic because the

996
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:22,960
guy's come home and scoring, and I had to call

997
00:49:23,039 --> 00:49:25,519
Tim and I had to go all through that nonsense

998
00:49:25,559 --> 00:49:27,920
and talk to the base umpire. He was. He was

999
00:49:28,039 --> 00:49:29,880
kind of a new guy, and I said, when you

1000
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,559
raise your right arm, that looks like it out to me.

1001
00:49:31,639 --> 00:49:35,840
So I but he was obviously not anybody.

1002
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 2: Or like, uh getting in a brawl with any parents

1003
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,320
or nothing. Let me ask you this, James, if you'd

1004
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,280
have had a little leg mom behind you scream strike four,

1005
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:45,960
how would you handle that?

1006
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:51,199
Speaker 10: I'm really trying to tone out the people behind me.

1007
00:49:54,039 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 11: To do that.

1008
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,119
Speaker 10: You don't want you want to be kind of a

1009
00:49:56,199 --> 00:49:58,800
calm guy when you're behind that plate. Don't let anybody

1010
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,679
irritake you. But I had a basketball guy, Oh my god,

1011
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,440
he was horrible basketball coach. I didn't have give him

1012
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,400
a sitting team. He was so bad. His king team

1013
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,119
was getting crushed. And I finally told him, I said,

1014
00:50:10,159 --> 00:50:12,119
you know what I call every foul you wanted me

1015
00:50:12,159 --> 00:50:14,119
to call, It wouldn't matter. Your stuff was this game.

1016
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:15,760
I told him that at halftime. I didn't him that

1017
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,920
during the game, but I said, you need you need

1018
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,000
to calm down. And he's und I mean, yelling at

1019
00:50:22,039 --> 00:50:24,000
me all the time, And he did. He second half

1020
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:27,199
he came out he's fine. But I approached people in

1021
00:50:27,079 --> 00:50:29,360
a in a way that they didn't upset him. I mean,

1022
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,039
I don't sit there and try to be mister I

1023
00:50:32,079 --> 00:50:33,199
know everything and you know nothing.

1024
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:37,679
Speaker 2: I was going to say, only when you call us,

1025
00:50:38,559 --> 00:50:39,519
Thanks James.

1026
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,599
Speaker 10: Exactly, all right, thanks, see you later.

1027
00:50:42,679 --> 00:50:44,599
Speaker 2: You gonna hear my strike call? Yeah, I got a

1028
00:50:44,599 --> 00:50:49,280
couple of them. Okay, go ahead, Steve, right, ah, I

1029
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,400
like that one. What about like a dramatic strike three?

1030
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 5: Damn?

1031
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 2: Okay? Little extra juice like a good morning strippers not

1032
00:50:58,599 --> 00:51:07,119
only extended? That would be zo on us. Right, you

1033
00:51:07,159 --> 00:51:10,519
cannot show the kids up. I mean you're doing a

1034
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:19,239
car like three? Sit down? Your mom's hot? Can I

1035
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:24,559
get a number of playa little little note? If you're

1036
00:51:24,599 --> 00:51:27,639
a single, good looking guy, you want to get a MILF.

1037
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,079
Little League baseball is where it's at. I thought volleyball

1038
00:51:30,119 --> 00:51:37,239
is that it's at reliable sources. You played Joe mix

1039
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,239
and gunshot one to send something else. I don't take

1040
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:46,920
anything at this point. That's much better. Oh man, Yeah,

1041
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,079
that is interesting. What what do I want? A characterist?

1042
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:52,400
Because I've been a part of Little league baseball and

1043
00:51:52,559 --> 00:51:55,599
volleyball as an adult with my children. Which one is

1044
00:51:55,639 --> 00:52:01,239
that I would say pound for pound, the little League

1045
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,079
mom is hotter. Okay, because again, if it's son, here's

1046
00:52:05,159 --> 00:52:08,880
here's what. Here's the good looking divorce a. She's wearn't

1047
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:14,079
a sun visor okay, sunglasses, short shorts okay. And now

1048
00:52:14,079 --> 00:52:16,039
the only thing is she's probably going for a younger person.

1049
00:52:16,039 --> 00:52:17,559
She's trying to hook up with a coach because she

1050
00:52:17,599 --> 00:52:20,760
wants her. She wants her something to get free lessons. Hmm.

1051
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:25,480
I'll help him fix his swing, but I can't pay

1052
00:52:25,519 --> 00:52:28,639
for those lessons. But maybe all right, this is getting

1053
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,119
this is getting creepy. Sorry being on red Tube too much.

1054
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,039
I've been home all weekend. I don't exactly.

1055
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:38,639
Speaker 3: All right.

1056
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

1057
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,639
Speaker 12: You know that I like you haven't rest, man, but

1058
00:52:43,039 --> 00:52:44,360
I like you haven't rest. He came here with a

1059
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:45,000
new energy today.

1060
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,119
Speaker 2: I did. It's I feel good. I gotta I got

1061
00:52:47,159 --> 00:52:48,639

00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,840
you're a you're your glass is always have full. Let's

1066
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,400
get that was my good feeling. I'm already half missed

1067
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,920
on it. What'd you say? I said they were all four,

1068
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,599
but you know we're gonna go for the three one. Uh.

1069
00:53:08,639 --> 00:53:12,280
They beat the Pelicans on Friday. Friday, we just lost

1070
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,000
to Oh you were counting. I don't know. Were you counting?

1071
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,760
Then to the Homestown. No, you're you're talking to the homestand

1072
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,760
I thought was check checked tomorrow. Yeah, we'll check it tomorrow.

1073
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:23,599
Which are them all all right?

1074
00:53:23,639 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 3: Good?

1075
00:53:24,639 --> 00:53:26,679
Speaker 2: Okay, we need some wins. I want the three spot

1076
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,360
in the West. I just do okay, I'm being finicky,

1077
00:53:29,639 --> 00:53:31,480
by the way, real quick. On the Vegas thing, somebody

1078
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,599
sent me a video. Apparently Vegas doesn't care that the

1079
00:53:33,679 --> 00:53:36,599
numbers are down because the big spenders are still coming. Yeah.

1080
00:53:36,639 --> 00:53:40,960
It's so yeah. They're like, we don't need twenty five

1081
00:53:41,039 --> 00:53:42,599
year old bit and ten dollars a hand or a

1082
00:53:42,639 --> 00:53:45,920
dollar one whale to count account for those. That makes

1083
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,800
a lot of sense. Eleven thirteen, Sports Talk seven ninety

1084
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:50,960

I love this segment, but it's it's hard. I know,

1093
00:54:20,599 --> 00:54:23,599
it's a lot of work. So, uh, we appreciate you, Matt,

1094
00:54:23,639 --> 00:54:26,440
thank you. I have three man, and then we just

1095
00:54:26,519 --> 00:54:27,800
dump on all your opinion.

1096
00:54:28,119 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 4: You know.

1097
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 2: If it's rude, I'm sorry, write it down ahead of time.

1098
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't done it.

1099
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going to be rude about it. Three of

1100
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,360
the four I do not believe. I only believe one

1101
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,239
of them. Oh now, I'm really proud of you. That's

1102
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,599
that's it's even difficult to do it, Yeah, for sure.

1103
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:47,480
Seven one three two one two five seven nine zero.

1104
00:54:47,679 --> 00:54:52,719
Let's talk to uh Ryan and Montgomery. Hi Ryan by

1105
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:53,559
Warren Fellows.

1106
00:54:53,559 --> 00:54:55,679
Speaker 13: That forget what time it is, but I think it's

1107
00:54:55,679 --> 00:54:56,079
the morning.

1108
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

1109
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 13: So you had that caller talking about when he was

1110
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,639
an umpire. Honestly, all respect to him, being an umpire

1111
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,000
is hard work. My grandfather, who was a wonderful person,

1112
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,360
God rest his soul, was not a very good umpire,

1113
00:55:10,559 --> 00:55:13,320
and so he was an umpire in Sharpstown and you

1114
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,280
were asking what kind of bad incidents they had. A

1115
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,239
couple came to mind. The most funny one, not funny,

1116
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,039
but outrageous was my grandfather in the middle of a

1117
00:55:24,079 --> 00:55:28,159
red robin, got into it with a dad and then

1118
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,599
whenever he left afterwards, they had slashed one of his

1119
00:55:31,639 --> 00:55:33,679
tires and thrown a brick through the back window of

1120
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,920
his car. And that guy was then not allowed to

1121
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,559
come back and be at any of the baseball games ever. Again,

1122
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,480
that was pretty That story always stuck out to me.

1123
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,840
And then also, I have one baseball question, what should

1124
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,840
we expect from Dana Brown before the trade deadline? Because

1125
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,719
he traded Hazu Sanchez and said, you want everybody to

1126
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,679
know we're not done yet. They haven't done anything since,

1127
00:55:58,679 --> 00:56:01,199
so I'm wondering where do you think dias go from there?

1128
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,559
Speaker 1: And I'll talk to you guys later.

1129
00:56:03,159 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 2: Uh. First of all, he said that because that's what

1130
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:10,840
general managers say. I think I think he had planned

1131
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,639
to have made a move by now. I don't know

1132
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:16,920
you and I have thought that was the plan. That

1133
00:56:17,039 --> 00:56:21,440
was the plan, but sometimes plans don't come through. Hey,

1134
00:56:21,639 --> 00:56:23,840
we're gonna do We're gonna be bigger, better things here

1135
00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:26,400
before with your bought with your boss. You know we're

1136
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,360
gonna we're gonna steer this ship in the right direction.

1137
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:33,679
Yeah we've heard that, or it's already sinking. Uh, he

1138
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:38,199
will make a trade. Okay, Look, put it this way.

1139
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:44,360
Daniel Brown's fight first job. And the only way he

1140
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,199
doesn't make a deal is if he knows he's on

1141
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,280
lane dunk status and the team is twenty games under

1142
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,559
five hundred, not making the playoffs, he's selling things off.

1143
00:56:55,119 --> 00:56:58,360
Because if you're selling things off, that's not what you

1144
00:56:58,400 --> 00:56:59,880
want to do if you're trying to keep your job.

1145
00:57:00,039 --> 00:57:02,719
M Now, he may be told, put it this way,

1146
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,239
if the Astros are twenty un or five hundred, maybe

1147
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,119
Dan Brown isn't even even here at the trade deadline.

1148
00:57:06,119 --> 00:57:08,360
I don't. I don't disicipate that being the case. But

1149
00:57:09,559 --> 00:57:11,960
if they're close, they're going to make a move. And

1150
00:57:12,599 --> 00:57:14,920
if everybody stays healthy in the infield, which is not.

1151
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:16,920
First of all, the chance of the astro is being

1152
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,719
healthy one hundred percent of the other season in the

1153
00:57:18,719 --> 00:57:22,840
infield is zero percent. Somebody's gonna get hurt, whether it's

1154
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,719
a AB, whether it's a somebody steps on somebody's finger

1155
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,280
slides on home play. Nobody plays one and fifty of

1156
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,639
the same team, of the same line up out there.

1157
00:57:32,719 --> 00:57:37,920
So even if Paradis is traded, don't come across as well.

1158
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,519
He made the mistake. You had all this depth. Nobody

1159
00:57:40,559 --> 00:57:43,039
has depth like that. Nobody has a top five hitter

1160
00:57:43,079 --> 00:57:47,199
on a baseball team ready in the wings, on the precipice,

1161
00:57:47,239 --> 00:57:51,800
on the on the cusp of hitting. He's gonna move

1162
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,880
Paratis because I think at the end of the day

1163
00:57:55,599 --> 00:57:58,119
the outfield is going to be a mess offensively. I'm

1164
00:57:58,159 --> 00:58:01,480
sorry Ross trying to sell myself. We had such a

1165
00:58:01,679 --> 00:58:03,000
wonderful visit with Zach Cole.

1166
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 14: You.

1167
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 2: We're huge cam Smith guys. We love Sneaky Snake Jake.

1168
00:58:07,079 --> 00:58:10,559
But the but the thought these all these three guys

1169
00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:14,039
are gonna slug and Fops is above seven hundred is

1170
00:58:14,119 --> 00:58:17,880
just I think it's too too much to ask, is

1171
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:23,719
that Cole spring ops? Please? Eight eighty that's from last year. Sorry,

1172
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,079
twenty six, I'm sorry. I forgot what I would say

1173
00:58:28,119 --> 00:58:30,639
about March Sus By the way, Oh it's much worse.

1174
00:58:31,159 --> 00:58:33,599
It's like five eighty two. But he's had a lot

1175
00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:36,079
of hard hit balls man, the XBA, the x slug

1176
00:58:36,119 --> 00:58:37,639
is much high. I'm gonna tell you all something right

1177
00:58:37,679 --> 00:58:40,559
now and even and I don't like to give Adam

1178
00:58:40,599 --> 00:58:43,559
Clanton credit for anything, because lord knows that's the trouble spot. Okay.

1179
00:58:45,599 --> 00:58:48,320
He he was talking about XBA and how ridiculous it is,

1180
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,400
and I can there are many metrics you have brought

1181
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,639
to this radio show. XBA super sucks as one. It's

1182
00:58:55,679 --> 00:58:59,559
like again I whind the die and the girl. I

1183
00:58:59,599 --> 00:59:02,559
gave her good amounts of booze. I gave her flowers.

1184
00:59:02,679 --> 00:59:04,679
My expected sex average is probably about a nine and

1185
00:59:04,719 --> 00:59:07,199
seventy five. If she doesn't want to have sex, it

1186
00:59:07,199 --> 00:59:09,440
doesn't happen. Either you get a hit or you don't.

1187
00:59:09,679 --> 00:59:12,079
The XBA leaders every year are among the best hitters

1188
00:59:12,079 --> 00:59:15,360
in baseball. And I will say this, Matt, do you

1189
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,159
want to be on the same side as Adam Clinton?

1190
00:59:17,559 --> 00:59:22,320
Ooh god, no, I feel careful. I saw you. He

1191
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,079
looked like I just punched you right in the gut,

1192
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,159
so that like wy you go ahead and get some

1193
00:59:27,199 --> 00:59:32,079
pause there no no, no, no, no, no no it

1194
00:59:32,079 --> 00:59:33,559
in spite of that, because I was the one that

1195
00:59:33,599 --> 00:59:38,119
brought up XBA last year, being ridiculous because what was

1196
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,079
what was the XBA of Christian Walker, I'm sure was delightful,

1197
00:59:41,159 --> 00:59:43,800
although you don't get any points for striking out right, No,

1198
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:50,320
you don't. No, every the metrics you brought to this show,

1199
00:59:51,639 --> 00:59:54,559
I respect, I cannot respect XBA. And that was the

1200
00:59:54,599 --> 00:59:56,840
same thing. And when Todd Callas says that, oh, that

1201
00:59:57,039 --> 00:59:59,679
was a four star catch, no, they damn ready to

1202
00:59:59,679 --> 01:00:02,280
do a three star catch. Did the catch get made? Yeah,

1203
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,880
So that is weird. That is that's dumb. Nobody can

1204
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,840
be shooing great and catches. Either you make the catching

1205
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,719
you don't, and if it saves two runs, it's a

1206
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:12,360
great catch.

1207
01:00:14,239 --> 01:00:14,519
Speaker 3: I don't.

1208
01:00:14,559 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 2: I don't need some metrics to tell me if if

1209
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,960
a catch is a good one or not. It was

1210
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,880
done to me to save but any of you save it.

1211
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:25,159
Everything else you bring, not everything but no, no, no, you're ops.

1212
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,400
Plus I respect. Yes, it's great. What else have you

1213
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:28,760
given me that I've respected so far?

1214
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:29,159
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1215
01:00:31,639 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 2: It's field independent, batting move, defensive run saved. It's fine.

1216
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,199
It's fine with two ways. On the bottom of it.

1217
01:00:40,239 --> 01:00:41,880
We don't like it. If he's not, we love it.

1218
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,320
I told you that's the thing with two metrics too, like, oh,

1219
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,079
we love this metric when it's good for us, but

1220
01:00:46,119 --> 01:00:48,000
we hate it when it's bad. Well, I am metric

1221
01:00:48,079 --> 01:00:51,079
consistent two ways still, my guy. I like net rating

1222
01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:54,679
and basketball. That's every hundred processions. That makes a lot

1223
01:00:54,679 --> 01:00:58,159
of sense because you have a slew team here in

1224
01:00:58,199 --> 01:01:00,920
Houston that will not get to a hundred possessions any

1225
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,239
faster than any other team. They're gonna They're gonna take

1226
01:01:03,239 --> 01:01:05,199
their wall to get to their hundred processions. I give

1227
01:01:05,239 --> 01:01:07,960
you that all right. To tell the truth, it's coming

1228
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,320
up next seven one three two one two five seven

1229
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,800
nine at zero seven one three two one two five Seveney,

1230
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,679
we're gonna Ross and Jonathan are gonna play this and

1231
01:01:15,719 --> 01:01:19,599
again I'm telling you, Jonathan, three wrong things. That means,

1232
01:01:19,639 --> 01:01:21,679
how many truths do I have for you?

1233
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 14: No?

1234
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,159
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jonathan, got it, Jonathan Ross, I have one truth?

1235
01:01:26,159 --> 01:01:28,599
How many misses? Am I gonna tell you about? One truth?

1236
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,320
Three lies? That's what I'm talking about. Seven one three

1237
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:53,840
two one two five seven. But the great thing about

1238
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:55,519
me and Rosster is even though I lie a lot,

1239
01:01:56,360 --> 01:02:00,639
I can't tell the truth when necessary, the truth and

1240
01:02:00,719 --> 01:02:03,119
I have to tell the truth in his segment I

1241
01:02:03,199 --> 01:02:05,639
love the lie. I actually don't love the lie. It's

1242
01:02:05,719 --> 01:02:09,239
terrible at alignment is I don't feel overly guilty about

1243
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:14,320
lying about things. That's terrible, isn't it. Yes, listen to

1244
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:17,119
being honest about that. It's part of your charm. All right, gentlemen.

1245
01:02:17,159 --> 01:02:20,519
I have four takes. I believe only one of them

1246
01:02:20,639 --> 01:02:26,679
three are lies. Number one new rule for the future WBC.

1247
01:02:28,559 --> 01:02:30,679
If your country is playing in that game, you can't

1248
01:02:30,679 --> 01:02:34,639
be an umpire from that country. Hmm. How are the

1249
01:02:35,039 --> 01:02:39,280
umpires in Nicaragua that I don't know? But Corey Blazer

1250
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:43,400
team USA playing yesterday giving the nice low strike three

1251
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,239
D in the game, okay, giving Themican Republic a little

1252
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:49,400
bit of angst. Thus, I think we're going to find

1253
01:02:49,519 --> 01:02:52,519
enough good umpires around the world to have an Italian

1254
01:02:52,599 --> 01:02:56,000
umpire behind the dish of a USA versus Mexico game

1255
01:02:56,039 --> 01:02:59,519
in three years, all right, all right? Number two, If

1256
01:02:59,519 --> 01:03:04,199
it ain't my Houston Cougars, the national championship I believe

1257
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:08,840
is going to go to the Arizona Wildcats. Okay, okay, hmm.

1258
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,280
I don't know a lot about a lot of those teams,

1259
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:12,880
but I've watched a lot of Arizona this year. I've

1260
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:14,199
watched a lot of Duke this year. I watch a

1261
01:03:14,239 --> 01:03:16,800
handful of Michigan games. It's gonna be a hard one. Arizona,

1262
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,440
to me is the best of the not name Houston teams.

1263
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:26,400
Number three, Ryan Weiss, front of the show, right, friend

1264
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:31,119
of astrofests. Correct, Yes, giant human being will make a

1265
01:03:31,199 --> 01:03:33,960
start for the Astros before Lance mccullors Juniors does.

1266
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:38,119
Speaker 3: Huh?

1267
01:03:38,559 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 2: Great spring for Ryan. He was brought here as a starter.

1268
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,079
Can play bullpen, can pitch to the bullpen, but he preferred,

1269
01:03:47,119 --> 01:03:50,679
as he told us, to be a starter. Whldn't they

1270
01:03:50,679 --> 01:03:52,800
go to a sixth and they're gonna they probably have

1271
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:54,480
to in the first week. If they want to do that,

1272
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:56,280
they don't have to, but it feels like there's gonna

1273
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,199
at least a sixth. I think Ryan Weiss makes the

1274
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,480
start for the ass Tres before Lance mccollors and number

1275
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:07,119
four when my Cougars boys beat Florida to win the

1276
01:04:07,159 --> 01:04:11,800
South Region. The NCAA is going to create new legislation

1277
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,880
that will not allow teams to compete in a regional

1278
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:20,119
final in the exact same city. Now, if Duke was

1279
01:04:20,119 --> 01:04:21,960
to play in Charlotte, that would not be the exact

1280
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,119
same city. If Saint John's was to play in Buffalo,

1281
01:04:25,199 --> 01:04:26,840
that would not be the exact same city. But if

1282
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,440
U c l A could not play in Los Angeles,

1283
01:04:29,679 --> 01:04:32,440
Houston could not play in Houston, Miami could not play

1284
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:37,800
in Miami, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, so you only

1285
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,239
believe one of these. I only believe one. Three? Okay,

1286
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:48,480
I know. Reminder I said, Okay, now real quick, I

1287
01:04:48,559 --> 01:04:50,960
mean run, let me run through them again. Number one,

1288
01:04:51,159 --> 01:04:53,320
new role if your country is playing in the WBC,

1289
01:04:53,599 --> 01:04:56,800
you can't be an umpire in their game. Number two

1290
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:01,039
if in Houston, Arizona wins the national championship. Number three

1291
01:05:01,159 --> 01:05:03,159
Ryan Weiss makes the start for the Astros before a

1292
01:05:03,199 --> 01:05:06,480
Lance McCullers junior. And number four. When Houston beat Florida

1293
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,480
to win the South Regional, the INCIBELLA will create new

1294
01:05:08,559 --> 01:05:10,800
legislation that will not allow teams to compete in a

1295
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:14,280
regional final in that exact same city. Which one of

1296
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:18,840
those four? Just one? Am I telling you the truth?

1297
01:05:19,039 --> 01:05:21,920
These are just takes, by the way, Okay, Jonathan, he's

1298
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,159
a deep thought. He's in doing Final Jeopardy. Are you Okay,

1299
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,800
over there, Rat, I told you you've been really good

1300
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,280
at this this year. General did not win last week

1301
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:32,840
and you lost, and you marked that down in your

1302
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:38,599
little I'm just making sure that's on your legend, all right,

1303
01:05:40,159 --> 01:05:41,800
because I know you tried to short me a couple

1304
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:46,719
of weeks ago too. I got on you. Yeah, Alan Math,

1305
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,440
I don't know if this is Allen Math is mathing?

1306
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,320
All right, let's talk to this now, Jonathan, let's go.

1307
01:05:53,159 --> 01:05:55,079
I just don't think it's feasible to have I mean,

1308
01:05:55,119 --> 01:05:57,760
they're not going to import a bunch of umpires from

1309
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,239
outside the United States, and are they really qualify by

1310
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:04,559
I mean, if you want to use the best. I

1311
01:06:04,639 --> 01:06:07,519
don't know that there's some large movement from other countries,

1312
01:06:08,599 --> 01:06:11,039
the Cougars and the Arizona thing. I mean that that

1313
01:06:11,199 --> 01:06:14,079
kind of makes sense. I don't think Ryan Weiss is

1314
01:06:14,119 --> 01:06:16,320
going to start because Lance mccullor's junior. Did he get

1315
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:17,880
hurt or anything? Is there something that I don't know?

1316
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:19,920
I would I would not try to sneak something like, Okay,

1317
01:06:20,079 --> 01:06:21,599
that's just a take. Are they paying him so much

1318
01:06:21,599 --> 01:06:22,039
money still?

1319
01:06:22,039 --> 01:06:22,079
Speaker 4: So?

1320
01:06:22,199 --> 01:06:24,159
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're paying him so much money

1321
01:06:25,079 --> 01:06:27,760
and the n Cuba likes selling tickets. I'm going with two.

1322
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:30,599
We're gonna have to tie me. I'm going with too

1323
01:06:30,599 --> 01:06:35,280
as well. Dang, I think all locked in, locked in.

1324
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,239
I'm locked in it too. The best umpires in the

1325
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,599
world are from or in Major League Baseball. They can't

1326
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,159
send umpires from other countries, so that was an easy one. Yeah.

1327
01:06:44,519 --> 01:06:44,639
Speaker 15: Uh.

1328
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,239
Speaker 2: Financially, Lance mccutters has to get to start. It's just

1329
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:50,920
for the optics that it has. I mean, even if

1330
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,840
Ryan Weiss's he's been killing in spring, the optics say

1331
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,039
you got to give Lance mccutters one final change.

1332
01:06:56,039 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 11: We gave.

1333
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 2: We give him the bump though the Matt Tommy Show

1334
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,320
with Ross Bump Wiss we did. He likes this a

1335
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:10,079
lot down to the last two. It's only gonna happen

1336
01:07:10,159 --> 01:07:13,880
once every seven or eight years. Yeah. The is not

1337
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,880
going to create a new legislation. They like selling tickets, Yeah,

1338
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,559
they they need tickets sold. They've been trying to get

1339
01:07:19,599 --> 01:07:22,039
the teams as close to their home stadiums as possible.

1340
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:24,519
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1341
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you can have a better chance of filling

1342
01:07:26,559 --> 01:07:31,880
up a building with Arizona versus Arkansas or No, that's bad.

1343
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,760
Choye Aroonzona versus Ohio State or Houston versus Florida, you're

1344
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:37,280
gonna pick the closer region, so they're not going to

1345
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:42,880
put in the legislation that you both win today. I

1346
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:44,800
don't spend a lot of time looking at other teams,

1347
01:07:45,679 --> 01:07:50,199
but Arizona is really freaking good. CoA Pete, have you

1348
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,440
seen this kid? How's really gonna feel like this about

1349
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,599
this with all the international players? She's very upset. Well,

1350
01:07:56,719 --> 01:07:59,039
she can call and tell us Brandon Bury's by the way,

1351
01:07:59,159 --> 01:08:01,880
oh god, so good. And by the way, can I

1352
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,280
say this too? Can I say?

1353
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:04,559
Speaker 3: Eric?

1354
01:08:04,639 --> 01:08:07,159
Speaker 2: Playing the Big Twelve gets you ready for this? Yeah?

1355
01:08:07,639 --> 01:08:10,280
This year, this year, last year was the best. But

1356
01:08:10,719 --> 01:08:12,760
the point is that if you play these juggernauts one

1357
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,079
after the other, absolutely it should get you ready for

1358
01:08:15,159 --> 01:08:22,439
this run. Battle tested, iron sharpens iron. Big twelve is

1359
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,119
the best basketball conference in the country. Yep, all right, boys,

1360
01:08:25,199 --> 01:08:29,119
nice John, nicely done, both of you. Thank you this week. Welcome. Yeah,

1361
01:08:29,119 --> 01:08:31,760
any of those four preposterous? Like on my count I can't, uh,

1362
01:08:33,239 --> 01:08:34,560
but I didn't believe three of them, so it makes

1363
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,079
it sounds better. So this might be your weakest one, uh,

1364
01:08:37,359 --> 01:08:40,039
what you mean? The easiest to figure out? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1365
01:08:40,119 --> 01:08:41,760
you did great, man. I think it's actually harder to

1366
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,399
come up with three fakies. It is, definitely, yeah, I

1367
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:48,119
mean because you want the real things over the Fakeisn't there, right, Jonathan, Absolutely,

1368
01:08:49,319 --> 01:08:52,479
he's not a ten times out of ten, the fakeies

1369
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,600
can work too. Sometimes you get one fakie and three

1370
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,279
real ones. And what are you talking about, Matt, The

1371
01:08:59,319 --> 01:09:02,319
sports takes to tell the truth. Oh that's why. Okay

1372
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:06,600
that that converstation changed. Mm hmm. By the way, that

1373
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:08,159
was this girl, by the way I called it's on Friday,

1374
01:09:08,159 --> 01:09:09,560
And but I'm believe it or not. I know she

1375
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,359
lost the first questions. I felt a little bit, but

1376
01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,359
the Parlso party is like, yes, you know what I

1377
01:09:14,359 --> 01:09:16,520
should have done? Next time she plays, what's your favorite

1378
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:17,880
part of the show? And if she doesn't say, you

1379
01:09:20,399 --> 01:09:23,640
serious trouble? Of course it is. We give them a

1380
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:29,000
lot of air time. Yeah, I'm gonna be devastated because

1381
01:09:29,159 --> 01:09:31,840
Florida play will play Houston in the regional final if

1382
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,560
it works out with the one first two, and I'll

1383
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,720
be in New Orleans. We had a Rockets game that night.

1384
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,479
I'll take you. I think Florida's gonna travel. I think

1385
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:41,960
they're gonna get in their cars and come to Houston.

1386
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:47,680
I think it's gonna be bonkers crazy. I can't lose

1387
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:49,720
them two years in a row, can I? Well, you

1388
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,720
don't play, you're not on the floor. Have you have

1389
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,279
you have you watched them? They look real, they live well,

1390
01:09:55,399 --> 01:09:57,560
I'll tell you Ken Palm has them at four Houston

1391
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:01,079
at five toss up game coin flut? Yes, sir? Do

1392
01:10:01,119 --> 01:10:03,920
you want a coin flip? Gotta get there first about

1393
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,279
this one? How many questions do you think the Florida

1394
01:10:05,359 --> 01:10:07,439
coach will get over? What is it like at being

1395
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,239
in Houston for the South region? He'll get a bunch.

1396
01:10:09,319 --> 01:10:10,840
By the way, you got a tough three seed draw

1397
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,560
Illinois seventh in in Kimpo. We play A and M

1398
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:16,399
in round two. By the way, can I time my son?

1399
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:16,600
Speaker 4: Really?

1400
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:17,199

1404
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,359
Do you realize they were the last at large, second

1405
01:10:28,399 --> 01:10:30,439

Not put in but announced you know they went by

1412
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,960
his mind. Because Texas got in. Yes, and AIM was

1413
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,880

a game? He's probably got some in IL cash. He's

1459
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:11,159
buying both with his in IL cash before the tournament.

1460
01:13:11,239 --> 01:13:13,520
This is before the tournament. Ros he come on, now,

1461
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,680
come on, Aiden, I mean, I look, I am, I am.

1462
01:13:17,159 --> 01:13:19,520
You want to use pot? I don't. I really don't care.

1463
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,800
You just cannot have that much in a holly eight.

1464
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:25,680
The obviously were tipped off by lots of different folks.

1465
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,359
By the way, twenty eight games, seventeen points per game,

1466
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,000
he's shooting forty four percent from three. This is a

1467
01:13:32,039 --> 01:13:34,279
big loss. That's well, we don't know. I mean, can

1468
01:13:34,359 --> 01:13:37,359
you still play? Oh, canny? Yeah, he's out on bail.

1469
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,359
He's out on bail five hundred bucks. That's all I took.

1470
01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:41,000
I don't know. He probably can't leave the state. But

1471
01:13:41,039 --> 01:13:43,840
maybe he can get a special exception. Oh can you

1472
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:47,119
not leave the state? Probably not, I don't I don't

1473
01:13:47,119 --> 01:13:50,279
know the whole full rule. They gotta band that. That's

1474
01:13:50,319 --> 01:13:53,640
some I don't know at this season. I don't know.

1475
01:13:54,319 --> 01:13:57,000
I would imagine you can get some kind of I

1476
01:13:57,039 --> 01:13:59,119
don't know we need How would you some kind of something?

1477
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:01,520
I know I committed a crime and I had to

1478
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:04,039
get arrested. But can I get a little visa to

1479
01:14:04,039 --> 01:14:07,039
get out of the state play in the tournament? Maybe?

1480
01:14:08,039 --> 01:14:10,800
I don't know. This is a question for a lawyer.

1481
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:13,760
Where's locked on? Gordy? He should have the answer to this.

1482
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,880
That's true, he's although he hates Alabama. When you talk SEC,

1483
01:14:17,199 --> 01:14:19,960
you've got a lot of legal issues going to if

1484
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,399
you're if you host an SEC podcast, don't you have

1485
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:27,159
to have like a legal expert on standby. Absolutely, this

1486
01:14:27,279 --> 01:14:31,920
is par for the course. I mean, if you have

1487
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,880
it in the car, you're a couple of joints rolled up. Okay,

1488
01:14:35,119 --> 01:14:40,439
go on a pound. That's just crazy. He's trying to

1489
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:44,760
sell it fair. I don't know that. Or he's just

1490
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,439
wants again as his lawyer, I will say no, yeah,

1491
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:49,159
he likes to buy a book. This is a case

1492
01:14:49,199 --> 01:14:54,880
of mistaken identity. Let's talk to Stuna. Hi, Stunner, what's

1493
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:55,279
going on?

1494
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 3: Mad?

1495
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 10: Hey, hey, Matt?

1496
01:15:02,319 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 16: That World Baseball.

1497
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,359
Speaker 17: Because man, I did not.

1498
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 3: Know the Netherlands had a damn baseball team.

1499
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:14,239
Speaker 2: I did not.

1500
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 18: I mean I'm looking at these guys, I'm like, what

1501
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:22,239
they have a team. I've been in Europe forever and

1502
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:27,479
I've never seen a damn baseball field. I mean I

1503
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,760
didn't seen basketball soccer fields.

1504
01:15:32,199 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 2: Uh that damn thing.

1505
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 18: When you hit the ball between the little rings. Yeah,

1506
01:15:39,199 --> 01:15:45,159
that even the horse jumping craft. But I haven't even

1507
01:15:45,239 --> 01:15:45,960
seen football.

1508
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I don't know. I don't. I couldn't

1509
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,479
even name the Netherlands player, so I apologize in advance

1510
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:57,279
from uh, well Japanese, I can't remember either. There was

1511
01:15:57,359 --> 01:16:00,279
a jerks and profile wasn't he Dutch? And he got

1512
01:16:00,359 --> 01:16:06,800
kicked off the team. Oh well, we got our legal expert.

1513
01:16:07,199 --> 01:16:08,520
If we gotta let you go Sona. We don't care

1514
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:10,399
about other lands based on anymore. He's locked on Gordy

1515
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:16,079
w We're good when we say Alabama, Mississippi state ls.

1516
01:16:16,239 --> 01:16:19,119
You all can't sell South Carolina is going to arrest.

1517
01:16:19,279 --> 01:16:21,159
We're going to see some arrest. We am are locked

1518
01:16:21,199 --> 01:16:23,800
on Guardia legal analysts with us Chris Gordi here, why

1519
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:29,279
why are we arresting people from marijuana? It should be legal.

1520
01:16:30,119 --> 01:16:36,119
It's grown in the slam. That's so funny. I think

1521
01:16:36,399 --> 01:16:37,960
will be fine. Who they playing in the first round?

1522
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:39,359
Happy is he?

1523
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 11: Oh?

1524
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:41,399
Speaker 2: He's only Is he gonna miss the whole tournament? Or

1525
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:45,760
what's They probably spend him for a game, suspend him

1526
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,239
for that? Smart? Can he leave the state is a

1527
01:16:47,279 --> 01:16:49,720
bigger question. Yeah, I just spent him for a half.

1528
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:51,800
I wouldn't even do a full game. And you leave

1529
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:57,239
the state out on bail. Marijuana that's legal in half

1530
01:16:57,319 --> 01:16:59,399
the states across the country. Is it legal in Alabama?

1531
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:03,680
You need explicit written permission from the court, which he

1532
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:05,079
probably could be able to get.

1533
01:17:05,159 --> 01:17:07,359
Speaker 19: Well if he gets the same judge that what let

1534
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,079
Charles Bettiaco go back to school after playing in the

1535
01:17:10,159 --> 01:17:10,680
G League.

1536
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:16,199
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're taking on Hofstra in the first round,

1537
01:17:16,279 --> 01:17:19,840
second round potential matchup Akron or Texas Tech. Yeah, he'll

1538
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,000
be back for a second round against Texas Tech. So you,

1539
01:17:23,239 --> 01:17:27,159
as an as an impartial broadcaster of all things SEC,

1540
01:17:27,319 --> 01:17:29,199
have zero problem with the guy getting wrested for a

1541
01:17:29,239 --> 01:17:31,920
pound on a bust. I would say this about any school.

1542
01:17:32,079 --> 01:17:34,039
Let him play. I'd say this about any school.

1543
01:17:34,039 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 19: I think that's I think it's stupid in twenty twenty

1544
01:17:36,039 --> 01:17:38,800
six to be arresting college kids from marijuana.

1545
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,359
Speaker 2: What are we doing you in here for some marijuana?

1546
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 19: Come on now, if it was like if he had

1547
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:45,920
a whole truckload and he was intent to sell, Okay,

1548
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:46,560
I get it, But.

1549
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,079
Speaker 2: You're saying that a pound is not a sellable amount.

1550
01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:53,239
Let's a stash problem. I think it's a really really

1551
01:17:53,359 --> 01:17:56,359
big stash. I'm not an expert. Maybe we can't. We

1552
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,000
need to hear from a pothead and or illegal expert,

1553
01:17:59,079 --> 01:18:01,479
preferably both. If you're a pothead, how much do you

1554
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,399
have in your home right now? More or less than

1555
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:06,680
a pound? Seven one three, two, two five seven.

1556
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 19: I did get a little nervous for you though, filled

1557
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,800
up a bracket earlier that we could get a U

1558
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,880
of H Florida rematch, and what would.

1559
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 2: It be a lead a coin flipper coin be a

1560
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:23,079
regional final? Yeah? One v two? Yeah, scary, that means

1561
01:18:23,119 --> 01:18:25,880
scary Florida. It's really good. You don't think last year?

1562
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:30,079
How about you know the Houston's pretty good either destroyed

1563
01:18:30,159 --> 01:18:33,439
Kansas in the semifinal. Better offensively, not as good defensively.

1564
01:18:34,039 --> 01:18:37,119
Chris Sanak, let's go Kings, some fllemings, let's go Jojo

1565
01:18:37,199 --> 01:18:39,439
Tugler was amazing on the championship game.

1566
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:42,520
Speaker 19: They're gonna have to have an off night shooting if

1567
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:43,439
they have an off night showing.

1568
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,560
Speaker 2: Ou here's analysis nowhere else. You can't have an off

1569
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:46,680
night shootings last.

1570
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 19: Year, they the last five years Kelvin Sampson teams could

1571
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,600
have off night night shooting. It didn't matter because they

1572
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:54,199
were so good defensively. This team is probably his worst

1573
01:18:54,239 --> 01:18:58,760
defensive team he's had. There you go, Matt, I'll let

1574
01:18:58,760 --> 01:18:59,560
you guys hash it out.

1575
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 3: I like that.

1576
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,199
Speaker 19: Yeah, my name's Paul. It's between y'all. That was gonna

1577
01:19:06,199 --> 01:19:08,319
be fun. They got le baron filon one of the

1578
01:19:08,399 --> 01:19:12,279
SEC leading scores. Now, will you discuss this pot charge

1579
01:19:12,319 --> 01:19:13,079
on your show today?

1580
01:19:13,119 --> 01:19:13,199
Speaker 3: Oh?

1581
01:19:13,279 --> 01:19:19,079
Speaker 19: Yeah, tomorrow's show, we'll lead with terrible charge, drop the charges. Yes,

1582
01:19:19,359 --> 01:19:21,560
let him play. Let him what's his name, Aidan? What

1583
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,479
Halloway natoates is by far though one of the like

1584
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,159
slimiest you just like so unlikable guy.

1585
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 2: Who's that the alephos he oh? I thought you were

1586
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:36,239
talking about the North American Treaty Organization. We got a

1587
01:19:36,279 --> 01:19:38,760
pot answer for you, by the way. All right, let's

1588
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:41,560
go Joe on seven ninety Joe, how much potty you

1589
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:42,399
got in your house right now?

1590
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 3: Well about uh, let's see about a half an hour.

1591
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,239
Speaker 2: So that's that close to a pound?

1592
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:55,199
Speaker 16: No sure, and and.

1593
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:58,159
Speaker 7: So typically.

1594
01:20:00,159 --> 01:20:03,560
Speaker 13: You know, the most so I'll get is three ounces

1595
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,720
at once, and that's quite a bit for one person,

1596
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,600
and that'll.

1597
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:10,079
Speaker 2: Last be many months.

1598
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 1: So a pound, I mean maybe to be sure with friends,

1599
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,479
that might last to be here, I don't know, that's

1600
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:17,760
a lot.

1601
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 2: All right, Gordy, time to change your tuning is thank

1602
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,359
you for the phone call for information, Joe. We went right,

1603
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:24,760
we went right to the source. Gordy. I think your

1604
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,520
boys in trouble think Alabama could be I could be

1605
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:31,319
right for an upset. No blaming the baronies. I'm putting

1606
01:20:31,319 --> 01:20:36,600
the Red Raiders through on my bracket. Why do you

1607
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,119
text second winning? Because the guys the seventy point guys

1608
01:20:39,159 --> 01:20:41,119
a high at the kite right now? How about this?

1609
01:20:41,279 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 19: Though, the dumbass committee they to protect Yukon, they put

1610
01:20:45,039 --> 01:20:48,079
no SEC teams in the East region. The SEC led

1611
01:20:48,119 --> 01:20:50,760
the country with ten teams in. They said, oh, well,

1612
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,600
don't put any in Hukon. We need Yukon in the

1613
01:20:52,640 --> 01:20:54,920
final four. Don't put any good good teams over there.

1614
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

1615
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:58,239
Speaker 2: Kyle haslaid in on Twitter. He says I have three ounces.

1616
01:20:58,279 --> 01:21:00,479
Probably he's also lives in Colorado and works at a

1617
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,760
dispensary and he's got three So I never this kid

1618

Speaker 4: Like?

1620
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 2: Thinking like a bread? Yeah, that's probably one guy bigger

1621
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,520
than this. I don't know what I'm doing. Put that

1622
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,680
thing down. You can fit a backpack, right, I guess,

1623
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,239
I guess, not like a Duffel bed. Not Google. You're

1624
01:21:20,239 --> 01:21:22,199
trying to get me to google my work Google AI,

1629
01:21:33,359 --> 01:21:38,920
a bad idea. Thanks Gordy for your completely unbiased fews

01:22:25,239 --> 01:22:27,119
a pound. Gordy's on crack if he doesn't think this

1644
01:22:27,239 --> 01:22:30,079
dude is in trouble. Graham is in an ounce. Sixteen

1645
01:22:30,119 --> 01:22:32,880
ounces and a pound. That's a lot, a lot. I

1646
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:35,159
have three ounces, probably, but I also work at a spencer.

1647
01:22:35,159 --> 01:22:39,840
You already, Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. You're a Division

1648
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,640
one player. You cannot have a pound of pot at

1649
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:45,920
your house. You just cannot right seven one three, two

1650
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:50,920
one two five seven ninety. Glenn is with us on

1651
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,399
the Matt Tabas Show with Ross Glenn. Good afternoon to.

1652
01:22:53,399 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 14: You, Good afternoon about how you doing? Good friend, Well, Matt,

1653
01:22:59,239 --> 01:23:02,199
I am thirty four years old. I've been smoking pot

1654
01:23:02,279 --> 01:23:04,680
since I was fourteen years old, so that twenty years

1655
01:23:05,239 --> 01:23:06,520
every day since I was fourteen.

1656
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 3: So I would considered my SoCal plenty. Yeah, I would

1657
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:10,119
considered myself a play.

1658
01:23:11,039 --> 01:23:17,119
Speaker 2: So the typical pot smoker smokes about seven grams in

1659
01:23:17,359 --> 01:23:21,399
a week. Okay, so do the math on that.

1660
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,199
Speaker 1: Nobody needs a pound a week.

1661
01:23:23,319 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 2: I mean, say you smoke a.

1662
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,039
Speaker 3: Lot, say you're smoking all day every day, which some

1663
01:23:27,119 --> 01:23:29,439
people do. There's some people that smokes more than others.

1664
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:31,279
Speaker 1: But you don't need a pound of weed.

1665
01:23:31,319 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 3: You can get a quarter pound is reasonable as enough.

1666
01:23:34,279 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: I mean a pound a week.

1667
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:37,239
Speaker 2: If you have a pound a weed, that means you're

1668
01:23:37,279 --> 01:23:37,680
selling it.

1669
01:23:38,359 --> 01:23:40,439
Speaker 14: Let's let's let's just get it. Let's just get it

1670
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:40,800
out there.

1671
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:42,520
Speaker 16: Nobody needs somebody.

1672
01:23:42,199 --> 01:23:44,199
Speaker 3: Buys a pound a weak or keeps a pound of weed.

1673
01:23:44,079 --> 01:23:47,039
Speaker 2: On the you know, at all times. So that feel

hot band of all time. They were high constantly and

1688
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,840
it was much more than marijuana. What do you think

01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,800
Paul and Ringo didn't smoke? It's a jam.

1690

1709
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,439
make a little lecture cash for he and his family.

1710
01:25:22,199 --> 01:25:25,560
Let the man live. I'm kidding kind of.

1711
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 12: That's in the smell in his car.

1712
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 2: That was in his car. Yeah, I mean, couldn't you

1713
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,600
go to every college campus in America and bust somebody?

1714
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,880
I mean that the college game is strong on that

1715
01:25:42,039 --> 01:25:47,119
is it? Not very Yeah, even as f A they

1716
01:25:47,239 --> 01:25:50,199
use this, they use the synthetic stuff. Who's Nate Newton,

1717
01:25:50,239 --> 01:25:52,399
by the way, not leon Lett. Leon Lett was on

1718
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:57,039
to fumble the ball in the end zone. It went

1719
01:25:57,039 --> 01:25:59,640
in doubt. It's a cowboy, all right, twelve or six

1720
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,239
Sports Talk seven two hundred and thirteen pounds for leon Let.

1721
01:26:05,279 --> 01:26:08,039
That's that's that's putting a truck, right, That's not like

1722
01:26:08,039 --> 01:26:13,239
going a small a white van. Little know. In fact,

1723
01:26:13,239 --> 01:26:16,039
I've never smoked a marijuana in my life. Five weeks later,

1724
01:26:16,119 --> 01:26:20,760
he had one hundred and seventy five pounds. What thirty

1725
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:24,760
months in federal prison for trafficking leon Lett. He was

1726
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:28,199
stopped in Saint Martin Parish, Louisiana. Now, if he was

1727
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,800
in another state that had legalized and be moved, I

1728
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:33,319
don't think they let you have one hundred and seventy

1729
01:26:33,319 --> 01:26:36,439
five pounds. I think that I think the legal states,

1730
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:41,000
it's legal up to a point. Coloring in Alabama nine pound. Yeah,

1731
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,359
all right, twelve oh eight. Let's get to the news

1732
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:51,880
at noon, and with that we go to who would

1733
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:52,239

1734
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:52,479

you can just chuse that now I'm gonna go with

1737
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:01,159
you are the Linda Cone of Houston Sports, Thank you well.

1738
01:27:01,239 --> 01:27:04,960
A quick preview of the Lakers and the Rockets Tonight.

1739
01:27:05,159 --> 01:27:07,800
Rockets at two and a half point favorites. It will

1740
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:12,760
be a late eight thirty PM starts on Peacock for

1741
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:15,520
the Rockets and the Lakers. It'll be two games. It's

1742
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:19,760
a twin billing, although they're playing today and Wednesday. Right now.

1743
01:27:20,319 --> 01:27:23,079
In the Western Conference standings, the Lakers sit as the

1744
01:27:23,199 --> 01:27:26,239
three seed, the Rockets as the four seed. They're one

1745
01:27:26,279 --> 01:27:28,720
game ahead of the Nuggets. And the Timberwolves. But if

1746
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:32,079
they win tonight, they will be the number three seed

1747
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,039
in the Western Conference. And again I say two and

1748
01:27:35,079 --> 01:27:39,000
a half point favorites. You're Houston Rockets, Go Rockets, Go.

1749
01:27:39,279 --> 01:27:42,159
Rockets at the four spot could very easily be in

1750
01:27:42,199 --> 01:27:43,720
the three when the night's said and done, or could

1751
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:47,680
drop to six in about twenty four hours. Controversial ending

1752
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:51,680
in the World Baseball Classic last night, the United States

1753
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:55,439
defeating the Dominican Republic two to one. In the ninth

1754
01:27:55,560 --> 01:28:04,279
inning with Mason Miller against Haraldo Perdomo, there was a

1755
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,439
bad strike three count on a two to two pitch

1756
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:12,279
that was well below the zone. Game should have continued, However,

1757
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:15,520
Perdomo struck out instead of getting to the full count

1758
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:18,680
and hoping to turn over the lineup with Fernando Tatiste

1759
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,760
Junior waiting on deck. But the United States gets the

1760
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:26,119
victory two to one over the Dominican Republic. They await

1761
01:28:26,199 --> 01:28:31,680
the winner of the game tonight Venezuela versus Italy seven

1762
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:34,520
o'clock tonight on FS one. And we'll have a complete

1763
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,199
breakdown from you tomorrow because I'm busy with Rockets coverage

1764
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,760
as you are you right? Are you going the game tonight.

1765
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:43,439
I'm gonna go Wednesday. Yeah, I'm still feeling like I

1766
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:45,760
don't know an you look at you a doctor, Vincent.

1767
01:28:46,039 --> 01:28:47,840
I actually did go back to the doctor last week.

1768
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,039
I've been better. I've been better. Okay, good, I'm just

1769
01:28:50,159 --> 01:28:53,199
don't get old folks. It's not funny and now just kidding. Well, wait,

1770
01:28:53,239 --> 01:28:55,079
you know today it was fifty four degrees for high today.

1771
01:28:55,079 --> 01:28:57,840
Apparently it's mea ninety this weekend, as my doctor told

1772
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:01,279
reminded me fluke diggle for full recovery four to six weeks.

1773
01:29:01,319 --> 01:29:02,840
So I think I'm still just feeling some ill effect.

1774
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:04,840
So that plus the allergies kept coming, and the CDC

1775
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:07,359
announced over the weekend they flew vaccine was not effective

1776
01:29:07,399 --> 01:29:09,800
this year. Okay, great, great, but they put six to

1777
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,239
seven strains in there, hoping whichever ones pop or the

1778
01:29:12,319 --> 01:29:15,000
ones that are in the in the shot. So you're

1779
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:16,960
telling me not to get it. I'm saying, I don't

1780
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:18,920
think I got mine. I don't know what else you

1781
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:26,399
got today. Elsewhere in the news, Matthew, we were just

1782
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:29,600
talking about it. Yes, well, Aiden Holloway, we were mentioning

1783
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:31,119
it in the last segment. If you guys had not

1784
01:29:31,239 --> 01:29:34,239
heard Aiden Holloway averaging sixteen point eight points per game

1785
01:29:34,319 --> 01:29:41,119
of four. The Alabama Crimson Tide pulled over and had

1786
01:29:41,159 --> 01:29:44,840
a pound of marijuana. First degree possession of marijuana, failure

1787
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:48,520
to a fix attack stamp. Bond set at five thousand dollars.

1788
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,560
Unclear from jail records whether he is still being hal

1789
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:55,000
Per Alabama law, the possession charge can carry a penalty

1790
01:29:55,039 --> 01:29:56,880
of up to ten years in jail and a fine

1791
01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:01,880
of fifteen thousand dollars. But yes, we can talk about

1792
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:07,199
the bracket at large Man tomorrow night and Dayton go ahead,

1793
01:30:07,239 --> 01:30:11,159
no no, no, No, Texas Long Horns, come on, Wolfpack.

1794
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:18,039
The winner will advance to the West Region to take

1795
01:30:18,119 --> 01:30:21,800
on BYU and get their ass kicked. So looking forward

1796
01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:25,840
to that, the Houston Cougars a number two seed in

1797
01:30:26,039 --> 01:30:30,119
the South Region. Their number one is the Florida Gators.

1798
01:30:30,159 --> 01:30:33,920
They will be taking on Oha Idaho. I should say

1799
01:30:34,039 --> 01:30:38,439
on Thursday nine to ten pm Cougar's twenty three and

1800
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:40,960
a half point favorites, awaiting the winner of the Saint

1801
01:30:41,079 --> 01:30:45,800
Mary's versus Texas A and M matchup, Go Aggs. After that,

1802
01:30:46,319 --> 01:30:48,760
Illinois would be on the three line. Or perhaps they'll

1803
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,720
take on North Carolina and then of course it would

1804
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:56,000
be the regional final potentially possibly most likely but maybe

1805
01:30:56,079 --> 01:31:00,920
not against the Florida Gators. Go getas until the South

1806
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:04,199
Regional Final. Then you'll lose and revenge will be sweet. Well,

1807
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:08,479
they are the one seed they're taking on TVD. They

1808
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,880
Vanderbilt is tough on the five line. Nebraska their four.

1809
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:17,159
They could lose and maybe the Cougars could go back

1810
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:19,880
to the final four. My ticket is I don't have

1811
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:21,760
a hotel yet, So if you, if any of you

1812
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,399
are going to Indianapolis and would like to have a roommate,

1813
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,479
I'll be happy to join you. I'll pay for some

1814
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:31,119
of the room. I'm good. You're not going No, no,

1815
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,680
but I mean you could go. Well, you can meet

1816
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:37,560
me there. Yeah, Cougar's I mean a longhorse will be there,

1817
01:31:37,600 --> 01:31:39,720
so I'm not so worried about it, all right, So, Yeah,

1818
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:41,640
anybody has a room for me in Indianapolis, hook me

1819
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:46,239
up at sports Empty on Instagram and Twitter. Instagram nice people,

1820
01:31:46,279 --> 01:31:50,760
Twitter mean, I agree. You can see photos of me

1821
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:52,720
at the Sam Houston Race Park. You didn't wear a

1822
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:54,600
college shirt though, I don't want a college shirt. Why

1823
01:31:55,079 --> 01:31:56,880
because you're not you're on in public. It was casual

1824
01:31:57,039 --> 01:32:00,319
Saint Patrick's day. What Saint Patrick singing is tomorrow? That's

1825
01:32:00,319 --> 01:32:02,640
a dress up. No, it was they head dollar Green Beers.

1826
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,880
Did you drink any No, that's what I was driving.

1827
01:32:05,960 --> 01:32:08,479
I was driving. That's good for you, probably good for me.

1828
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,640
Well why were you driving a normal citizen? Because I don't.

1829
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:14,560
I don't live near the park. I drove there I could. Yeah,

1830
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:18,119
but it was a great time, all right. And you

1831
01:32:18,159 --> 01:32:20,880
went and you want Instagram sports Harvy? Yeah, I did. Yeah,

1832
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:23,680
follow him into Instagram Sports Harvy because Twitter doesn't give

1833
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,920
him much. It's all about Texas basketball takes and it's

1834
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:28,800
not true. And Kendrick Lamar is the greatest singer of

1835
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:32,399
all times sing whatever was a rapper and a musician

1836
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,000
and a Poler Prize winner winner in a Voice for

1837
01:32:36,039 --> 01:32:39,479
the Ages and a twenty seven time Grammy Award winner.

1838
01:32:40,119 --> 01:32:48,680
So impressive, I know, very happy. Seven percent. I was

1839
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:50,840
reading something else about percentage of the rockets that I

1840
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:53,680
was reading the number mean too. See you are Ron

1841
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:56,199
Burgundy of this show. No, I didn't say what they

1842
01:32:56,239 --> 01:32:58,760
were saying. The clock. You were saying the time wrong.

1843
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:02,199
Last weeks. The clock goofed up and we now have

1844
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:05,600
competent people running things around here. Seven one three, two

1845
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:08,000
one two five seven outy seven one three two one

1846
01:33:08,119 --> 01:33:10,800
two five seven nine to zero with the word right

1847
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:15,000
now for Uptown Appliants Repair. I love Uptown Appliants Repair.

1848
01:33:15,199 --> 01:33:16,760
You know why I love them because they're going to

1849
01:33:16,800 --> 01:33:19,119
take care of all of your appliant's needs. If you

1850
01:33:19,199 --> 01:33:21,439
have a gas grill like I cooked out last night,

1851
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:24,000
what if it wasn't working, you'd have been really mad.

1852
01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:26,439
If it's not working for you today, maybe you don't

1853
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:27,520
want to buy a new one, Maybe you want to

1854
01:33:27,560 --> 01:33:29,720
get it repaired. Uptown Applants Repair can take a look

1855
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:31,800
at it. At that gas grill for you. If your

1856
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:35,119
sub zero is not cooling your vegetables and your fruits

1857
01:33:35,199 --> 01:33:38,119
and your drinks properly, ice maker in that machine, and

1858
01:33:38,159 --> 01:33:40,840
that refrigerator is not working, if the washing machine is

1859
01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:44,840
not cleaning your clothes and getting still some of the

1860
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:47,239
mud and the dirt and debris out, or that dishwashers

1861
01:33:47,319 --> 01:33:49,359
not cleaning those dishes. I mean, I got all sorts

1862
01:33:49,399 --> 01:33:51,920
scenarios for you that Uptown Appliants Repair is going to

1863
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:54,520
fix for you. Two eight one seven five eight nine

1864
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:57,479
nine seven eight two eight one seven five eight nine

1865
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:02,600
nine seven eight Rockets and Lakers snit. We'll have it

1866
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:05,319
for the beginning at seven point thirty with the launch pad.

1867
01:34:06,079 --> 01:34:08,680
Brossfeld Ral will be the host for that show. Yes,

1868
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,840
I will eight thirty, which means eight forty two tip.

1869
01:34:14,079 --> 01:34:14,279
Speaker 16: Plus.

1870
01:34:14,359 --> 01:34:17,199
Speaker 2: It's ESPN, right or Peacock's on Peacock. Okay, they don't

1871
01:34:17,279 --> 01:34:19,359
slide the second games of those. They don't typically do it.

1872
01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:19,520
Speaker 4: Now.

1873
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just started and I'm gonna switch the stream

1874
01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:22,640
over if you want.

1875
01:34:24,199 --> 01:34:24,239
Speaker 4: So.

1876
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 2: Okay, it's been excellent. Rockets Magic Hawks is the early

1877
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:35,319
Peacock game. Sorry, good, Yeah, nobody's gonna watch that. I'll

1878
01:34:35,359 --> 01:34:37,479
have it on. It's waiting for the Rockets.

1879
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:38,039
Speaker 4: Right.

1880
01:34:39,239 --> 01:34:40,640
Speaker 2: Let me get my notes out because I want to

1881
01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:42,520
give you a couple of things. Okay, great. You know,

1882
01:34:43,279 --> 01:34:45,520
if you're gonna go to a Rockets game anytime soon,

1883
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:46,840
this week would be a good week to do it,

1884
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,159
because Michael Jeffrey Jordan is going to lose his spot

1885
01:34:50,199 --> 01:34:54,239
in the top five all time in NBA scoring unless

1886
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:56,800
Katie gets a dud, He's going to probably towards the

1887
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:58,800
end of this home saying could be Friday against Atlanta

1888
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:04,479
or Saturday against Miami. Oh, that's right, heat it all. Okay,

1889
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:10,239
that's great because I know some people I'm going Friday.

1890
01:35:10,319 --> 01:35:11,159
Are you really good for you?

1891
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1892
01:35:13,159 --> 01:35:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very gracious people. Do I know them?

1893
01:35:17,039 --> 01:35:17,239
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1894
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:22,199
Speaker 2: Friends of the show of course? Nice. Yeah. Durant is

1895
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:24,640
uh where do I put the numbers? I thought he

1896
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:27,000
was one hundred and two away at some point eighty seven? Okay,

1897
01:35:27,039 --> 01:35:30,680
so now he's eighty seven from passing him. Now, what

1898
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:33,399
do you think will happen when this happens? Do you

1899
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:35,359
think there will be a video locked and loaded, just

1900
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:38,079
like when he passed up Dirk for six ooh from Michael?

1901
01:35:38,319 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 16: I don't know.

1902
01:35:39,119 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 2: I don't know how Michael feels about people passing him up.

1903
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:44,319
I would assume the answer that would be no. When

1904
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:47,039
Lebron passed Kobe, Kobe tweeted out like, yeah, keep pushing

1905
01:35:47,079 --> 01:35:49,279
the game forward, Derek. Of course with the video as

1906
01:35:49,319 --> 01:35:55,119
you're mentioning, I honestly, I could see it where Michael

1907
01:35:55,159 --> 01:35:57,079
throws in a jab like he's not happy about it

1908
01:35:57,239 --> 01:35:58,960
or something. He's like, you're still not better, you still

1909
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,960
don't have six rings. He throws in something like that.

1910
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:05,880
Kevin to his credit is exactly very much respects the

1911
01:36:05,920 --> 01:36:09,880
people that preceded him. Yes, he's a hooper. He's a hooper. Whoop.

1912
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:12,039
He doesn't say our game is better than theirs. No,

1913
01:36:12,359 --> 01:36:14,760
he loves everybody that was when he watched when he

1914
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,119
was a kid. Michael was a kid, when he was

1915
01:36:16,159 --> 01:36:19,079
a kid, when Michael Jurnan was playing. Yeah, so maybe

1916
01:36:19,119 --> 01:36:21,359
there's a relationship that would be there that maybe we

1917
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:26,760
don't know about. But if I was a betting man

1918
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:30,760
on this, Michael Jeffrey can't be. We'll be a little busy.

1919
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:35,159
Now here's the real juggernaut. Let's say that he has

1920
01:36:35,199 --> 01:36:38,560
a couple of off games during this next Fourkay, He's

1921
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:40,880
got eighty seven to get to four, So that's twenty

1922
01:36:41,119 --> 01:36:43,560
something points a game. Yeah, let's say it's gonna fifteen

1923
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:48,079
point nine. Could happen the first game of our five

1924
01:36:48,199 --> 01:36:52,079
four game road trip next week is in Chicago. That'd

1925
01:36:52,119 --> 01:36:55,159
be fun, he should say. Would you imagine Kevin Durant

1926
01:36:55,279 --> 01:36:59,439
passing Michael Jordan on the center floor. I wonder what

1927
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:02,680
the reaction from the fans would be. My guess would

1928
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:05,600
be total indifference. Indifference. You gotta have some kind of

1929
01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:07,399
feeling you wouldn't stop the game. You're not gonna stop

1930
01:37:07,399 --> 01:37:09,640
the game here in Houston for that, man, I don't

1931
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:13,079
think you would. I don't know. Top five, I don't know.

1932
01:37:13,159 --> 01:37:15,720
Let just talk to your game ops sources, you know what.

1933
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:19,880
I would assume, even Houston the next time out, they

1934
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:22,960
didn't stop the game. Yeah, next time out. Yeah, you

1935
01:37:23,039 --> 01:37:25,520
stopped it when Mike, when Lebron got there. But that

1936
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:28,000
was number one. Yes, I don't think you do it

1937
01:37:28,079 --> 01:37:33,680
for five. Who's four? Is Kobe four? No, Kobe's already

1938
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:36,720
been passed. Uhh no, who's four? It's Lebron? Is it

1939
01:37:37,159 --> 01:37:40,640
Karl malone? Or is he three? One is Michael? I mean?

1940
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:43,840
And one is Lebron? Two? Is Kareem? Three? I think

1941
01:37:44,119 --> 01:37:44,720
is Coke?

1942
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:45,359
Speaker 3: I mean? Uh?

1943
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 2: Karl Malone? Is Chamberlain four?

1944
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:47,840
Speaker 4: No?

1945
01:37:48,319 --> 01:37:49,239
Speaker 2: No, he's already passed.

1946
01:37:49,359 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 3: Oh man, we.

1947
01:37:50,479 --> 01:37:52,399
Speaker 2: Should know these awesome I should know. We should know

1948
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:55,920
this are bad. You're looking it up, Yeah, I'm looking

1949
01:37:55,960 --> 01:37:59,960
it up. I put all time, Oh, I put all teams.

1950
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:02,920
Oh yeah, Kobe's four. Oh, Kobe's four, Koby's four?

1951
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:03,119
Speaker 3: OK?

1952
01:38:03,279 --> 01:38:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why I thought Kobe was further back.

1953
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:12,159
Durrant's going to Durant's going to pass Kobe, and Durant's

1954
01:38:12,159 --> 01:38:19,840
gonna end at four because I think Durant wants to

1955
01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:22,880
play in the twenty twenty eight Olympics, which I mean,

1956
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:25,039
he'd want to be active playing in the NBA's some

1957
01:38:25,079 --> 01:38:29,239
money's good. Yeah, he's he got a contra extension, so yes,

1958
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:32,840
he's not he That would put Kobe's at thirty three,

1959
01:38:32,960 --> 01:38:39,199
six forty three, So that's a He's about fifteen hundred

1960
01:38:39,239 --> 01:38:42,880
points away from Kobe, is is Durant. Karl Malone is

1961
01:38:42,920 --> 01:38:46,279
another three thousand points in front of Malone and on

1962
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:48,439
top of Kobe. So yeah, I think I think Durant's

1963
01:38:48,439 --> 01:38:51,960
gonna finish at fourth. Uh. He's got sixteen hundred points

1964
01:38:52,079 --> 01:38:54,520
last year, He's already over sixteen hundred points this year.

1965
01:38:58,279 --> 01:39:03,239
Will Michael Jordan give him his flower? I would say,

1966
01:39:03,359 --> 01:39:04,720
I would say it's not going to be a video.

1967
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,640
Maybe it's maybe some kind of tweet video. He's not

1968
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:12,479
gonna send a video to the Rockets. I don't think though.

1969
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:14,199
Speaker 3: It would.

1970
01:39:14,239 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 2: It would blow the building away because that we're not

1971
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:21,279
anticipating Michael Jordan doing that. Uh, but if you're Michael,

1972
01:39:21,279 --> 01:39:23,039
if somebody, I mean, I know, the Rockets have had

1973
01:39:23,079 --> 01:39:28,680
to ask what is Michael going to say? No, I'm

1974
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:31,960
too busy, he's not getting Yeah, this guy his Nascar

1975
01:39:32,039 --> 01:39:34,720
thing going. He's busy on Nascar. He's crushing in Nascar.

1976
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:36,840
Was he changing the all or what you know? Yeah,

1977
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:39,680
he's on the pit crew. Yeah, he's got the headphones on. Yeah,

1978
01:39:40,319 --> 01:39:43,640
Breaker one Niner Keith on seven Ounty, Hi, Keith.

1979
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:46,520
Speaker 16: Hey, good afternoon.

1980
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:48,199
Speaker 2: How are y'all amazing? Great?

1981
01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:52,520
Speaker 7: So my brother lives in in Annapolis. He's a big

1982
01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:55,760
time Lakers fan. So we got a double bet. I'm

1983
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:59,600
feeling pretty good about it because, uh, we normally do

1984
01:39:59,680 --> 01:40:00,960
pretty good against the Lakers.

1985
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:04,119
Speaker 2: How do you think about that? What's your bet?

1986
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:07,319
Speaker 16: Twenty five hours per game?

1987
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:07,640
Speaker 3: Oh?

1988
01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:11,279
Speaker 2: Okay, I think you're a break even Matt. What do

1989
01:40:11,319 --> 01:40:15,039
you think I think you're gonna win a lot of money?

1990
01:40:15,319 --> 01:40:15,520
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1991
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:19,399
Speaker 16: I got Hey, I got a prediction for you.

1992
01:40:20,279 --> 01:40:20,560
Speaker 3: Ross.

1993
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:25,279
Speaker 2: Okay, let me write this down, because let's see, you

1994
01:40:25,359 --> 01:40:27,720
had your Bari and Tari traded by the deadline. I'm

1995
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:29,199
just looking at it. I'm looking at your old prediction.

1996
01:40:29,279 --> 01:40:32,000
Look as Keith, he's bringing right up calling the brag.

1997
01:40:32,119 --> 01:40:33,840
So that's why I was like, all right, we're gonna

1998
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:37,960
keep tabs on this. I'm doing pretty good. I may

1999
01:40:38,079 --> 01:40:41,199
I may not be bad in a thousand. But you also,

2000
01:40:41,520 --> 01:40:43,560
you had Katie on the I R and the Rocket's

2001
01:40:43,600 --> 01:40:45,279
not making the playoffs. How are you feeling about that?

2002
01:40:46,479 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 7: No, I said, if Kate, if they keep playing, he

2003
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,000
would go on the I R and we wouldn't make

2004
01:40:54,039 --> 01:40:54,439
the playoff.

2005
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 2: Well, he's been playing a ton of minutes.

2006
01:40:57,800 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 7: Well, the season's not over.

2007
01:41:00,079 --> 01:41:03,079
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant's averaging thirty six point five minutes per game.

2008
01:41:03,199 --> 01:41:04,159
Thirty six point five.

2009
01:41:05,319 --> 01:41:07,159
Speaker 7: That's a lot for a thirty seven year old.

2010
01:41:07,159 --> 01:41:08,680
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you need the Rockets to miss the

2011
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:10,319
playoffs for that to be right. You're gonna be wrong

2012
01:41:10,359 --> 01:41:11,199
on that. Go ahead.

2013
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:13,720
Speaker 7: No, I don't want I don't want the Rockets to

2014
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:17,079
miss the playoffs. I want them to go as far

2015
01:41:17,159 --> 01:41:17,640
as they can go.

2016
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,119
Speaker 2: I got the document ready, Go ahead. I'm ready with

2017
01:41:20,199 --> 01:41:22,199
the document where you're you're all right?

2018
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:23,079
Speaker 3: Prediction?

2019
01:41:23,159 --> 01:41:25,720
Speaker 16: Go ahead, here's here's my prediction.

2020
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:28,039
Speaker 2: You got your partner.

2021
01:41:28,119 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 7: They're always is hating on this individual, and I'm I

2022
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:35,880
got something that I'm predicting. This individual is going to

2023
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:40,000
be in the top twenty QBR if he don't get hurt.

2024
01:41:40,520 --> 01:41:42,199
His name is Malik Willis.

2025
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 2: He sucks. Top twenty, come on now.

2026
01:41:46,159 --> 01:41:48,760
Speaker 7: Top twenty. When these is always gonna be in the

2027
01:41:48,840 --> 01:41:49,359
top twenty.

2028
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 2: That's not that out of thirty two out of thirty two. Yeah,

2029
01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:56,199
it's not that great any prediction. But okay, already down.

2030
01:41:57,039 --> 01:41:58,239
I want you to be right, because you know I

2031
01:41:58,319 --> 01:41:59,079
love when Matt Trump.

2032
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,640
Speaker 7: Yes, he's always wrong about Malik Willis. He's he's been

2033
01:42:04,319 --> 01:42:05,439
Willis fin he's the tight.

2034
01:42:06,079 --> 01:42:08,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was terrible there. He'd be terrible as a packer,

2035
01:42:08,159 --> 01:42:10,680
you'd be terrible. Is where'd he go? Now, Steelers? Where's

2036
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:11,279
the hell is he now?

2037
01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:12,119
Speaker 16: Miami?

2038
01:42:12,279 --> 01:42:14,600
Speaker 2: Miami? Oh well that's gonna be great. That's gonna be

2039
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,319
just with brand new coach, new new. Yeah, that'd be

2040
01:42:17,319 --> 01:42:20,520
a lot of kills gone. Tyreek Hill's somewhere in Winnebego,

2041
01:42:21,119 --> 01:42:23,720
Winnebago cruise or something. I don't know. He's just terrible.

2042
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:28,479
Get out. Yeah, your predictions are terrible. Yeah, No, I know,

MT twelve thirty seven ninety We will resume on the

2056
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:20,079
phone to a matter of moments. Did you watch election

2057
01:43:20,199 --> 01:43:22,640
some day itself? That is a big deal in our house.

2058
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:23,920
I mean a matter of fact. I had the whole

2059
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:27,119
family over had for dinner last night. We love seeing

2060
01:43:27,159 --> 01:43:29,119
where the team's go and whatnot. And then maybe it's

2061
01:43:29,159 --> 01:43:32,039
just something for our family out others. But it was

2062
01:43:32,079 --> 01:43:34,039
interesting to see where people were going, and a lot

2063
01:43:34,079 --> 01:43:37,800
of criticism about Bruce Pearl being on the broadcast. I

2064
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:42,600
normally check it out, but I just I didn't. Is

2065
01:43:42,640 --> 01:43:44,880
it because you're you know why I was in Milan?

2066
01:43:45,079 --> 01:43:46,920
You're you you don't have for a squad? You know

2067
01:43:47,399 --> 01:43:51,560
you don't care. I care, But I don't want to

2068
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:54,840
stress over it. Okay, how about that. So Bruce Pearl

2069
01:43:55,119 --> 01:43:59,039
is the analyst on TNT and CBS, and apparently, you know,

2070
01:43:59,119 --> 01:44:02,600
he has been very critic of Miami Ohio getting in. Well,

2071
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:05,199
his son's team, the team that he coached last year

2072
01:44:05,319 --> 01:44:10,960
did not make the tournament, and there was a lot

2073
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:15,159
of Bruce Pearl sucks, Bruce Pearl's bias. Bruce Pearl doesn't

2074
01:44:15,199 --> 01:44:18,359
have any skins in the game. He's just a loudmouth

2075
01:44:18,399 --> 01:44:20,359
that wont say these things. He's going after the committee

2076
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:23,359
chair for not putting in Auburn when he put in Miami.

2077
01:44:25,359 --> 01:44:27,680
And then it came out that he is still being

2078
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:32,600
employed by Auburn through some sort of secondary services country. Really, well,

2079
01:44:33,199 --> 01:44:38,119
what did Auburn fan do to back that up? Apparently

2080
01:44:38,279 --> 01:44:41,399
Nick Saban is still being paid by Alabama in a

2081
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:45,239
secondary services Really, yes, I as an ambassador or some

2082
01:44:45,399 --> 01:44:48,319
kind of whatever. When I know this for a fact,

2083
01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:53,479
when Calvin Sampson retires, he's going to be the same

2084
01:44:53,560 --> 01:44:55,239
sort of thing. He is going to be given a

2085
01:44:55,399 --> 01:44:59,680
contract to be a ambassador, consultant to the athletic personal service,

2086
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,399
whatever the case whatever. So it's not uncommon, but It's

2087
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:07,439
so funny we find ourselves in sports in particular. I'm

2088
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:09,119
sure this happens in politics too, but we don't talk

2089
01:45:09,119 --> 01:45:13,880
about politics. And I got you a moment until somebody

2090
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:15,000
else gets you with it? Gotcha?

2091
01:45:15,399 --> 01:45:15,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2092
01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:19,520
Speaker 2: Does that make sense? So what about this? Yeah? How

2093
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:21,800
did this happen? Well, you weren't so mad about this

2094
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:26,680
when this happened to your team. Hypocrisy time proves everyone

2095
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:30,479
a hypocrite in politics. Now, I'll just say this, Bruce

2096
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:32,840
Pearl doesn't bother me. I don't watch a lot of

2097
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:36,119
college basketball studio shows, but the reality is I wanted

2098
01:45:36,119 --> 01:45:37,359
to watch this one because I want to see where

2099
01:45:37,359 --> 01:45:39,119
the Cougars were going to be playing. But it was

2100
01:45:39,199 --> 01:45:43,840
such a big deal for how dare Bruce Pearl be

2101
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:47,479
on there? And Bruce Pearl did obnoxiously say that Miami

2102
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:50,600
should not be in. Now, he was wrong, but he

2103
01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:54,079
wasn't that wrong. They have to go to the playing

2104
01:45:54,159 --> 01:45:58,479
game to play, so they're barely in. They were one

2105
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:03,119
of the last four at large teams in the tournament. Yes,

2106
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:09,600
with a schedule strength of two ninety six. I believe

2107
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:11,479
that is the low. You may have checked the sun

2108
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:15,000
on Kimpom. Are they the lowest Ken Palm ever to

2109
01:46:15,199 --> 01:46:19,840
reach an at large spot, I wouldn't. I would say probably.

2110
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,800
I would say from a scheduling standpoint, they're probably the

2111
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,600
lowest ever. They they're ninety third on those ranks, the

2112
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,800
kin Pomeroy's net rankings, which I always use every year. Yeah,

2113
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:33,279
ninety third. How many ninety third teams in Kim pom

2114
01:46:33,359 --> 01:46:36,600
get at large spots of the inncibility turn Probably probably,

2115
01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:39,680
I'm gonna guess it's a zero. Never ever happened. So

2116
01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:42,079
even though people are ripping on Bruce pro because there

2117
01:46:42,239 --> 01:46:44,399
is a conflict of interest, I mean, the sun is there.

2118
01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:49,600
He he won that far off. They're six and a

2119
01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:53,279
half point dogs and well, according to Kim Palm Roy,

2120
01:46:53,399 --> 01:46:57,279
the highest ranked team to not be in is Auburn

2121
01:46:57,319 --> 01:47:01,880
at thirty eighth. I mean again, I don't know how

2122
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:05,079
many Auburn fans are just beside themselves over this seventeen

2123
01:47:05,119 --> 01:47:14,399
and sixteen Sure it's not a great tragedy. Yeah, it

2124
01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:17,079
just I would say for anybody that wants to root

2125
01:47:17,119 --> 01:47:19,760
for the underdog, had the underdog play somebody because you

2126
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:22,239
got in by the skin of your teeth. Yeah, if

2127
01:47:22,239 --> 01:47:23,479
you can't make the top sixty eight.

2128
01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:23,720
Speaker 16: I'm not.

2129
01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:26,239
Speaker 2: I'm not crying over you. I'm really not. I'm sorry.

2130
01:47:27,159 --> 01:47:29,960
Play better win one or two more other games schedule

2131
01:47:30,039 --> 01:47:35,479
somebody seriously, So there you go. But it was funny

2132
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,079
because everybody's like, oh, Bruce Pearl still on the payroll

2133
01:47:38,119 --> 01:47:39,800
of Aubert Well, Nick Save apparently still on the on

2134
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:44,239
the payroll it. And my guess is that, I mean,

2135
01:47:44,239 --> 01:47:46,119
there'll be a lot of coaches that will be on

2136
01:47:46,199 --> 01:47:48,079
the payrolls of other schools as consultants.

2137
01:47:49,039 --> 01:47:49,119
Speaker 3: Oh.

2138
01:47:49,199 --> 01:47:50,800
Speaker 2: Jay Wright was a guy that was still getting paid

2139
01:47:50,800 --> 01:47:52,960
by a Valanova when he quit and worked when working

2140
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:58,640
for CBS. It happens, didn't Bruce Pearl like, didn't he

2141
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:00,359
interview the Miami of Ohio coach something and he was

2142
01:48:00,359 --> 01:48:02,600
trying to play nice. Well, I don't know that. I

2143
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:04,159
think I saw that. I know he was. He was

2144
01:48:04,199 --> 01:48:08,119
interviewing the NCAA tournament chair and dropped a little auburn

2145
01:48:08,199 --> 01:48:11,119
on him and then Set Davis, his TV partner, came

2146
01:48:11,119 --> 01:48:14,000
to his rescue said, Bruce Pearl, for you being on

2147
01:48:14,079 --> 01:48:15,960
the TV set for the first time during this, you

2148
01:48:16,039 --> 01:48:18,479
did a really good job. Everybody's like, Cheth David shut

2149
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:22,840
you'll bamb ass up. We defend our colleagues. Yeah. He

2150
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:24,319
had him on an interview and was like, Oh, it's

2151
01:48:24,399 --> 01:48:27,800
just business, nothing personal. It's a hundred percent personal.

2152
01:48:30,159 --> 01:48:30,399
Speaker 3: I think.

2153
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:33,079
Speaker 2: I think Bruce Pearl's gregarious. I think Bruce Parrol can coach.

2154
01:48:33,119 --> 01:48:35,920
But Chris Brice Pearl has been a convicted h cheater

2155
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:38,840
in the NCBLA. He said some NCAA issues, Yeah, that happens.

2156
01:48:39,079 --> 01:48:42,199
He's probably not the most e'sical guy in the world.

2157
01:48:42,680 --> 01:48:44,840
I don't know, which makes me crazy that he's not

2158
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:47,720
selling it. Well, if his violations were legal, now, then

2159
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:51,399
he's all good. Just like Kelvin Simps exactly could have said,

2160
01:48:51,399 --> 01:48:54,359
I don't remember what his violations were. Oh, Calvin's texting

2161
01:48:54,359 --> 01:48:55,920
too No, I'm talking about Pearl. Oh I don't know.

2162
01:48:56,520 --> 01:49:00,319
But Calvin's was texting too much, which again, maybe that

2163
01:49:00,399 --> 01:49:01,680
I'm too close to it, and that's fine. Call me

2164
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:05,039
a hypocrite, hypocrite, but why can't you text a kid

2165
01:49:05,039 --> 01:49:06,920
a bunch of times unless the kid says, leave me alone.

2166
01:49:08,279 --> 01:49:12,760
I don't know. See if you get if you get

2167
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:16,720
a five year banishment because you text too many, you

2168
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:22,520
can't you can't contact that much. N Cuba Investigation uh,

2169
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:26,800
members of his family to a cookout unofficial visit. This

2170
01:49:26,920 --> 01:49:29,800
is a Pearl right, yeah, I guess they were doing.

2171
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,840
He wasn't supposed to be with the coach and he

2172
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:36,520
was at a cookout and Bruce Pearl told everybody not

2173
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:38,920
to tell anyone about it, and then the in and

2174
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:42,960
then cuble A came and investigated, and Pearl lied about

2175
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:45,479
the cookout. So here's a double liar. And also told

2176
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:48,279
Aaron Kraft the Prospect to tell his father to lie

2177
01:49:48,319 --> 01:49:53,039
about it. Triple liar. There you go. Remember average person

2178
01:49:53,119 --> 01:49:54,920
lies what I'd say four times a day, Rossie and

2179
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:57,760
Bruce Pearl might be over, yeah, Scott on seven on

2180
01:49:57,840 --> 01:49:58,800
a Hello Scott.

2181
01:50:00,199 --> 01:50:00,840
Speaker 1: Ross what's going on?

2182
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:01,560
Speaker 3: Guys? All right?

2183
01:50:02,279 --> 01:50:05,319
Speaker 1: I have I have four small little things. I'll try

2184
01:50:05,319 --> 01:50:08,359
and keep them as concise as possible. Number One, this

2185
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:13,159
past weekend I was at a gender reveal slash baby shower,

2186
01:50:13,359 --> 01:50:16,399
which don't even get me started on why men are

2187
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:19,319
now invited to those things and that's now normalized. That's

2188
01:50:19,319 --> 01:50:21,199
another thing I didn't need to have on my calendar

2189
01:50:21,239 --> 01:50:23,479
this weekend, although it was a good time. While I

2190
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:28,199
was there, I got to know the wife's or the

2191
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:31,479
mother to Be's father. His name is mister Matthew Speck.

2192
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:33,359
I don't know if he's listening at this moment or not,

2193
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:34,960
but he's a long time listener of the show, and

2194
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:37,439
we had a really great conversation about how much we

2195
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:40,279
love listening to you guys, and I would prefer this

2196
01:50:40,399 --> 01:50:43,680
network over the propaganda network that's, you know, also local

2197
01:50:43,720 --> 01:50:45,239
to the area. So I wanted to just give him

2198
01:50:45,239 --> 01:50:45,760
a shout.

2199
01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:48,439
Speaker 2: Out and shout out both of you. Major shout outs

2200
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:50,479
to both of you. Yes, thank you so much. Tell

2201
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:51,560
ten of your fellows.

2202
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.

2203
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:55,960
Speaker 1: So number two really quickly. I was leading the car

2204
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:58,520
about thirty minutes ago listening and I tried to call

2205
01:50:58,600 --> 01:50:59,920
him in, but I know I wouldn't have enough time.

2206
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:02,960
I had to get out. I've never spent calling to

2207
01:51:03,039 --> 01:51:05,159
you guys all the time. I've never had a chance

2208
01:51:05,239 --> 01:51:08,680
to actually speak with Chris Gordy, but I heard him

2209
01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:15,039
explain his dislike for Nate Oates, the Alabama basketball head coach,

2210
01:51:15,079 --> 01:51:18,279
and his reasoning for that was that Nate Oates is

2211
01:51:18,399 --> 01:51:21,920
a slimeball and there's nothing about him that anyone should

2212
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:24,239
be able to root for. He shouldn't be allowed to

2213
01:51:24,279 --> 01:51:27,239
say that being he's an LSU fan.

2214
01:51:27,359 --> 01:51:27,720
Speaker 3: Correct.

2215
01:51:28,319 --> 01:51:31,159
Speaker 1: I remember when just a mere few months ago, when

2216
01:51:31,199 --> 01:51:33,239
I was upset about my ole missed football team losing

2217
01:51:33,319 --> 01:51:35,720
Lane Kiffin and Matt You would try to say, look,

2218
01:51:36,159 --> 01:51:39,000
you would say, hey, look, I understand Lane's there, he's

2219
01:51:39,039 --> 01:51:40,680
a good coach, whatever, but he's a S lineball and

2220
01:51:40,720 --> 01:51:43,039
he wouldn't even admit that Lane Kiffen is a sline ball.

2221
01:51:43,119 --> 01:51:46,159
So his credibility on the line ball meter is at

2222
01:51:46,159 --> 01:51:48,760
an absolute zero, and no one should take anything he

2223
01:51:48,840 --> 01:51:53,600
says with that seriously at all. Number number three, the

2224
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:57,199
U of H in Florida, potential matchup in Houston, as

2225
01:51:57,279 --> 01:51:59,760
crazy as that could be, And if I was Florida,

2226
01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:02,359
I'd be upset. Just people don't forget this has happened before.

2227
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:05,319
We had to go play Auburn in Birmingham as a

2228
01:52:05,399 --> 01:52:08,199
one seed a few years back, so that, I mean

2229
01:52:08,279 --> 01:52:11,079
that was absolutely ridiculous as well too. I would be

2230
01:52:11,159 --> 01:52:13,520
upset if I was Florida. And then finally, I don't

2231
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:15,600
know if you guys remember I called in last week

2232
01:52:16,039 --> 01:52:18,960
talked about the ABS challenge system. You wait until the

2233
01:52:19,039 --> 01:52:21,600
playoffs this year in a game ends like it did

2234
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:23,479
in a little baseball Classic. With a call like that,

2235
01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:27,359
they're gonna go to an automated Ballton strike system very

2236
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:30,640
very quickly. That's my full time should say.

2237
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:31,000
Speaker 3: There you go.

2238
01:52:31,399 --> 01:52:33,920
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, Thanks Scott for the phone call of the

2239
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:37,600
gender reveal. Yeah, unfortunately, maybe I'm close. I'm too old.

2240
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:41,760
Never been no gender reveal. Really well, my people, my

2241
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:44,239
friends my age, are not having children. They've already had children.

2242
01:52:44,279 --> 01:52:46,800
Unless you know, some accidents happened or your Are you

2243
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:47,760
friends with al Pacino?

2244
01:52:49,399 --> 01:52:49,479
Speaker 4: Uh?

2245
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,880
Speaker 2: No, we've never He's still he's still getting after it?

2246
01:52:53,279 --> 01:52:53,399
Speaker 4: Is he?

2247
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:56,720
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah? God, you think you said that in gender reveal?

2248
01:52:57,680 --> 01:53:04,840
Probably not. You're thinking about doing an al Pacino? But

2249
01:53:05,079 --> 01:53:08,960
I could see the No, I could see the gears turning.

2250
01:53:09,359 --> 01:53:12,199
Keep you're thinking about doing an al Pacino impression? Keep

2251
01:53:12,239 --> 01:53:19,119
the tip jar out there. Wah no, I can't. No, no,

2252
01:53:19,319 --> 01:53:26,439
no other than the bathtub twelve forty. Oh, there you go,

2253
01:53:26,600 --> 01:53:31,800
that's mine. I'm not kidding. No, I'm trying to provoke.

2254
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:33,960
Thank God, I'm not a good person to provoke him.

2255
01:53:34,159 --> 01:53:41,520
I wish I was good. Let's talk about synergenetics. Sure,

2256
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:44,439
you know what al Pacino might need might get his testosterone?

2257
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:49,199
Speaker 15: God?

2258
01:53:49,680 --> 01:53:56,399
Speaker 2: Oh no, left all right, Well, al Pacino is still

2259
01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:58,640
getting after it and he's like in his eighties. But

2260
01:53:58,800 --> 01:54:01,800
you know what, it is a serious conversation. If two

2261
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:03,840
five seven, Honie Ross, we were talking about whether or

2262
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:06,199
not we believe it. Bruce Pearl is an honest man.

2263
01:54:06,840 --> 01:54:08,680
Bruce Pearl was a guest of the Dan Patrick Show,

2264
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:12,399
which is a Premiere Radio Networks show which we can

2265
01:54:12,640 --> 01:54:15,079
grab some audio for our friends, so they are our friends.

2266
01:54:15,119 --> 01:54:16,880
And here is Dan Patrick with a couple of minutes

2267
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:19,279
with Bruce Pearl talking about just the fact that can

2268
01:54:19,399 --> 01:54:24,119
he as an analyst talk about Auburn Tiger basketball? Can

2269
01:54:24,239 --> 01:54:25,840
you look at Auburn objectively?

2270
01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:30,359
Speaker 11: Yes, on one hundred percent, Ken Like, I think it's

2271
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:33,319
okay that Auburn and Oklahoma, for example, aren't a field.

2272
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:36,439
I think it's okay they should have won one more game,

2273
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:40,239
and so there's nobody complaining about it. But I pride

2274
01:54:40,279 --> 01:54:42,720
myself on telling what I really think.

2275
01:54:43,079 --> 01:54:44,159
Speaker 2: Was I rooting for my son?

2276
01:54:44,239 --> 01:54:47,119
Speaker 11: Of course I was rooting for my son. People say, well,

2277
01:54:47,159 --> 01:54:49,000
you got your son the job. No, I didn't get

2278
01:54:49,039 --> 01:54:51,119
my son the job. My son played for me. My

2279
01:54:51,239 --> 01:54:53,600
son was an assistant for me for eleven years. He's

2280
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:57,199
the associated coach, he was the defense and corner. Did

2281
01:54:57,239 --> 01:54:57,880
I help him?

2282
01:54:58,319 --> 01:54:59,239
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

2283
01:54:59,359 --> 01:54:59,600
Speaker 11: I did?

2284
01:54:59,720 --> 01:55:02,640
Speaker 2: As an dad, of course I did. But you look

2285
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:04,359
at are you paid by Auburn?

2286
01:55:06,039 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 11: You know what, I'm in an ambassador's position, and not

2287
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:12,279
many Jewish days would walk.

2288
01:55:12,119 --> 01:55:14,960
Speaker 2: Away from thirty million dollars, but this one did.

2289
01:55:16,319 --> 01:55:18,840
Speaker 11: And you know who does that. My wife was like, Honeken,

2290
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:21,840
why couldn't you just stink for a couple of years,

2291
01:55:22,039 --> 01:55:24,800
let them fire you and pay you ten million dollars

2292
01:55:25,159 --> 01:55:27,439
to do what you're doing now? But no, you go

2293
01:55:27,520 --> 01:55:32,159
ahead and quit, leave all that on the table. Yeah no, Dan,

2294
01:55:32,239 --> 01:55:35,920
I objectivity for me not an issue.

2295
01:55:36,960 --> 01:55:39,199
Speaker 22: Okay, But I don't know if you have to disclose

2296
01:55:39,359 --> 01:55:43,680
that that, Hey, I'm still paid as an ambassador for Auburn.

2297
01:55:44,600 --> 01:55:48,600
If it felt like you were kind of dinging Miami,

2298
01:55:48,720 --> 01:55:51,720
Ohio because Auburn was going to be on the bubble.

2299
01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:54,640
So that's the appearance, okay, that's that's how a lot

2300
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:58,199
of people look. So the appearance of that, the optics

2301
01:55:58,199 --> 01:55:58,840
didn't look good.

2302
01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:01,760
Speaker 3: That's that's fair.

2303
01:56:01,920 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 11: And it certainly as a former Auburn basketball coach, what

2304
01:56:04,960 --> 01:56:08,640
former coach or former athlete? You know, Charles Barkley roots

2305
01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:11,960
for Auburn, he does. But Charles Barkley is always going to.

2306
01:56:12,039 --> 01:56:15,680
Speaker 2: Keep it real and and but he was paid at Auburn,

2307
01:56:16,039 --> 01:56:21,840
not after Auburn. That's fair enough.

2308
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:27,079
Speaker 11: Hey, hey, listen, what if if if I wasn't able

2309
01:56:27,159 --> 01:56:31,640
to be objective, I wouldn't continue to be an Auburn.

2310
01:56:32,279 --> 01:56:35,000
It's it's sort of u uh, it's sort of the

2311
01:56:35,039 --> 01:56:37,720
best of both worlds. I would give that up in

2312
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:41,039
a heartbeat. If if it if optics became such an

2313
01:56:41,079 --> 01:56:43,199
issue that I couldn't be an analyst jic. You know

2314
01:56:43,279 --> 01:56:45,840
Jay Wright works worked at Villanova for all those years,

2315
01:56:46,159 --> 01:56:49,600
he still worked there, and uh nobody questioned whether not

2316
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:51,600
Jay Wright would have been objective?

2317
01:56:52,439 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 2: All right, Bruce lies He quit like three weeks before

2318
01:56:56,680 --> 01:56:58,720
the start of the season. There was no one else

2319
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:01,920
he could get the job to. His son was there

2320
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:05,079
for the longest time. That's number one. What else did

2321
01:57:05,079 --> 01:57:05,359
he say?

2322
01:57:05,439 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 16: Oh?

2323
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:08,279
Speaker 2: Uh, he could object He's not upset that Auburn and

2324
01:57:08,279 --> 01:57:11,680
Oklahoma on the tournament. That's a lie as well, does

2325
01:57:11,800 --> 01:57:15,600
it again? Person? Lies hells four times four lives a day,

2326
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:17,960
got like four and two minutes. Yeah, I mean he's

2327
01:57:18,079 --> 01:57:20,479
he's well above the national average.

2328
01:57:23,319 --> 01:57:25,439
Speaker 3: Wow. I mean.

2329
01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:32,439
Speaker 2: It's a it's an unsavory business. It's a business that

2330
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:35,840
you have to lie, cheap, be corrupt. Ethical ethics are

2331
01:57:35,880 --> 01:57:37,720
out the window. I mean, I don't know what else

2332
01:57:37,720 --> 01:57:40,079
to tell you, but I like him. I'm not saying

2333
01:57:40,079 --> 01:57:41,800
I'm anti Bruce Pro. Bruce Pro want to come on

2334
01:57:41,880 --> 01:57:43,640
the show we talk basketball with him. I don't really

2335
01:57:43,800 --> 01:57:46,159
listen to his analysis, so I don't really have much

2336
01:57:46,159 --> 01:57:49,159
of an opinion. But it just calls spade a spade

2337
01:57:49,159 --> 01:57:50,359
on this one. I mean, you know, you got to

2338
01:57:50,439 --> 01:57:51,960
just be honest here on this. You got to say,

2339
01:57:52,039 --> 01:57:54,119
you know, look, I have a vested interest. My son's

2340
01:57:55,239 --> 01:57:58,079
hit by his son not making the tournament. It cost

2341
01:57:58,199 --> 01:58:02,920
him money, not Bruce Son's money. Does he is? He

2342
01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:04,960
pissed off the Miami with a schedule drink The two

2343
01:58:05,039 --> 01:58:07,960
ninety six got in Absolutely, he is say it. Do

2344
01:58:08,079 --> 01:58:10,680
we have history of a son taking over for their

2345
01:58:10,720 --> 01:58:14,079
father in college sports and it working out? First thing,

2346
01:58:14,119 --> 01:58:15,760
I think of his Bobby Knight's son that didn't work

2347
01:58:15,800 --> 01:58:23,640
at Nope, old old old school. Ray Meyer had a son.

2348
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:25,640
It was it was a long time successful coach of

2349
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:27,319
DePaul and he gave it to his son Joey, and

2350
01:58:27,399 --> 01:58:38,159
Joey did not do well there Auburn's and no, the

2351
01:58:38,359 --> 01:58:43,840
son taking over immediately and it worked. Not that comes

2352
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:47,680
to mind. Yeah, the next one will be you know,

2353
01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:51,039
Kellen is scheduled to be the coach when Kelvin leaves. Yes,

2354
01:58:51,159 --> 01:58:54,800
whatever that may be. Well, you're hoping to turn around

2355
01:58:54,840 --> 01:58:55,880
the Ben said a president.

2356
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:56,199
Speaker 8: Matt.

2357
01:58:56,680 --> 01:58:59,920
Speaker 2: That's right. That's a great question. Is there any son

2358
01:59:00,159 --> 01:59:03,079
that has been gifted the job that has been as

2359
01:59:03,119 --> 01:59:06,319
successful as Pops? I can't think of it.

2360
01:59:06,439 --> 01:59:06,479
Speaker 14: Not.

2361
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:10,279
Speaker 2: I mean generally, it's hard to follow any great coach. Yeah. Literally,

2362
01:59:10,319 --> 01:59:12,079
you go to any coach who was even not a son,

2363
01:59:12,119 --> 01:59:14,119
and they follow an all time great, it doesn't go well.

2364
01:59:14,840 --> 01:59:19,600
Terry on seven Honty, Hello there, Terry, what's going on?

2365
01:59:20,159 --> 01:59:20,319
Speaker 11: Matt?

2366
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:22,720
Speaker 15: What's going on? Mister America?

2367
01:59:23,399 --> 01:59:26,279
Speaker 2: Hello, Terry is taking on am I? Mister America. You

2369
01:59:28,239 --> 01:59:29,119

2370
01:59:31,199 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 15: Gee, thank you. You sound like Donald Trump.

2371
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:37,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't think so, but go ahead,

2372
01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:38,239
go ahead, Terry.

2373
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:42,399
Speaker 15: Yeah, I got a question for you. Remember when Mexico

2374
01:59:42,560 --> 01:59:43,960
played Italy at Dyke in.

2375
01:59:46,319 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 2: Last week.

2376
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:52,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, my cousin went to the game. He lives in Houston. Okay,

2377
01:59:53,760 --> 01:59:56,760

2378
01:59:56,800 --> 01:59:57,840
In Park twelve?

2379
01:59:57,880 --> 02:00:03,840
Speaker 2: What I did not know that? Ice agents, Ice agents,

2380
02:00:04,039 --> 02:00:05,600
Ice agents. No, I did not know that.

2381
02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:09,399
Speaker 15: Yep, all right, that's all I got.

2382

Speaker 6: Tell you.

2385
02:00:17,479 --> 02:00:20,239
Speaker 2: Ardan's sound like Joe Biden a little bit. We alle

2386
02:00:20,279 --> 02:00:23,960
these truths to be self evingent, oh man, and women creative.

2387
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:24,520
Speaker 21: By the go.

2388

02:00:53,159 --> 02:00:53,920
this is a good one too.

2396
02:00:55,680 --> 02:00:59,680
Speaker 17: But for a billion, two hundred trillion, two hundred billion dollars.

2397
02:01:05,720 --> 02:01:05,800
Speaker 11: What.

2398
02:01:07,479 --> 02:01:14,279
Speaker 2: I'm beginning to see why your wife left you. Friend

2399
02:01:14,319 --> 02:01:17,000
of the show, Adam Winkler says, Randy and Tony Bennett

2400
02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:23,279
m father's son. Is that a father son singer like

2401
02:01:23,319 --> 02:01:27,079
Frank Sinatra and Frank Sinatra Junior Randy, the longtime coach

2402
02:01:27,079 --> 02:01:31,439
at Saint Mary's. Tony was a former coach at Virginia

2403
02:01:31,479 --> 02:01:34,199
that won the national championship before retiring in twenty twenty four.

2404
02:01:35,560 --> 02:01:37,520
Will you take over a job for a son? That's

2405
02:01:37,680 --> 02:01:39,479
That's what I'm meaning, where the son was getting like

2406
02:01:39,840 --> 02:01:42,359
literally handed the job. Yeah, No, I don't think so, okay,

2407
02:01:42,720 --> 02:01:44,640
because you got the Drew family done quite well, but

2408
02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:46,439
nobody got in hand of the Drew. Yeah. Maybe I

2409
02:01:46,439 --> 02:01:49,039
don't know. Did Homer Drew hand the job to Bryce

2410
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:51,079
that didn't work out well? Because I don't think Bryce's

2411
02:01:51,119 --> 02:01:51,840
a valp anymore?

2412
02:01:52,880 --> 02:01:53,039
Speaker 3: Oh?

2413
02:01:53,359 --> 02:01:56,680
Speaker 2: Things that through my head? Yeah, let's move on. Sorry

2414
02:01:56,720 --> 02:01:59,560
he brought this up final out I did. Sorry, it's

2415
02:01:59,600 --> 02:02:01,680

02:02:27,079 --> 02:02:30,119
C Championship and up for a title. That's more important

2422
02:02:30,119 --> 02:02:33,520
than a World Series crown. The Astros are twenty seventeen

2423
02:02:33,600 --> 02:02:37,039
world champions. Spam Adebayo scored eighty three and that was

2424
02:02:37,119 --> 02:02:37,680
strike three.

2425
02:02:38,680 --> 02:02:40,840
Speaker 2: That's just how it is. Twenty twenty six, seven Nights Show.

2426
02:02:41,560 --> 02:02:43,119
All right, Matt and Rocks with me for the final

2427
02:02:43,199 --> 02:02:44,479
hour of the show. Believe it or not, coming up

2428
02:02:44,479 --> 02:02:47,600

2429
02:02:47,720 --> 02:02:51,479
Sided Yeah, and new Rockets and I against the Lakers.

2430
02:02:51,560 --> 02:02:54,119
Eight thirty tip times, sob may get your little nappy

2431
02:02:54,239 --> 02:02:56,039
in and if you're going with the game, aneven thirty

2432
02:02:56,079 --> 02:02:57,760
tip just say seven. Tip time is eight o six.

2433
02:02:58,479 --> 02:03:03,439
There you go. We got the lower bowl issues forty two.

2434
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:06,479
Oh Ros, it's that's late for pops. You'd be all right,

2435
02:03:06,760 --> 02:03:09,279
get your extra coffee, get your halftime coffee. Oh my god,

2436
02:03:09,319 --> 02:03:11,359
I'll be drinking lots of coffee. I'll be wired tomorrow

2437
02:03:11,399 --> 02:03:13,399
morning and I'll crash with you about twelve thirty at

2438
02:03:13,399 --> 02:03:14,640
a half time. Or you don't have time to do

2439
02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:16,520
you come down and get the halftime tendys. I do not,

2440
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:19,600
but our engineer sometimes brings back, so that's nice. Yeah,

2441
02:03:20,439 --> 02:03:22,239
I'm not gonna do it. The other side of the Bowl.

2442
02:03:22,680 --> 02:03:25,920
I know, so I know you were thinking about asking Wednesday.

2443
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:29,279
You can do Wednesday. Yeah, see here we go. All right,

2444
02:03:29,359 --> 02:03:31,880
Rockets will get the tournament out. The Cougars are on

2445
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:35,720
the number two seed in the South. Yes, Gary Parrish

2446
02:03:35,760 --> 02:03:38,239
front of the show, Gary Parish making Dallas. What does

2447
02:03:38,279 --> 02:03:40,279
he say? Gary Parrish says, this is a travesty that

2448
02:03:40,359 --> 02:03:41,760
the Cougars get to be have a home game on

2449
02:03:41,840 --> 02:03:45,039
the two. Oh the two line. Oh you got something

2450
02:03:45,079 --> 02:03:50,199
for him on Wednesday. You gotta write that down. I mean, honestly,

2451
02:03:50,199 --> 02:03:53,720
if I'm a Florida fan, I'm not happy about it. No,

2452
02:03:53,960 --> 02:03:57,000
but I think I think the logistics are just too much.

2453
02:03:57,079 --> 02:03:57,439
Speaker 4: So just.

2454
02:03:59,239 --> 02:04:04,279
Speaker 2: If they're they're the I mean, human Almond comes into play.

2455
02:04:04,560 --> 02:04:08,119
Phil buildings up. It's easier to get Houston fans to

2456
02:04:08,199 --> 02:04:09,840
go to a Houston game that it'll be Houston fans

2457
02:04:09,840 --> 02:04:11,800
to go to a game in Washington.

2458
02:04:11,560 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 22: D C.

2459
02:04:12,119 --> 02:04:14,840
Speaker 2: Did Jayhawks get every big twelve tournament every year in

2460
02:04:14,960 --> 02:04:15,520
Kansas City?

2461
02:04:17,079 --> 02:04:17,199
Speaker 3: You know?

2462
02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:19,680
Speaker 2: And you know when they still lose sometimes being get

2463
02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:22,399
their asks by the Cougar's Absolutely they can still lose. Yeah,

2464
02:04:22,920 --> 02:04:26,399
home buildings make a difference, not the supreme difference, and

2465
02:04:26,439 --> 02:04:28,279
By the way, the Cougars have not been It's not

2466
02:04:28,399 --> 02:04:29,840
like they go to Tota Center and win by twenty

2467
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:32,640
five points. The real home building is a for Tita Center.

2468
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:35,039
Tota Center is the seventeen thousand Cedarreen. It's gonna have

2469
02:04:35,039 --> 02:04:37,760
a lot of Florida fans there. How was the Florida

2470
02:04:37,800 --> 02:04:38,560
State Houston game?

2471
02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:38,800
Speaker 3: There?

2472
02:04:40,279 --> 02:04:40,399
Speaker 11: Uh?

2473
02:04:40,600 --> 02:04:47,000
Speaker 2: Not great? Eight thousand? Really? Yeah, tournament will Oh, you're

2474
02:04:47,039 --> 02:04:50,520
blaming Florida State. They need to travel old God, your

2475
02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:53,520
fan base should fill that place up. But we only

2476
02:04:53,640 --> 02:04:57,560
like our home building. Oh okay, we feel more comfortable home.

2477
02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:01,319
Colum Boulevard's our friend. This is how many lies a day?

2478
02:05:01,359 --> 02:05:01,760
Did you say?

2479
02:05:02,520 --> 02:05:02,560
Speaker 4: Not?

2480
02:05:02,800 --> 02:05:05,920
Speaker 2: Money from me? E? Easy?

2481
02:05:06,399 --> 02:05:06,520
Speaker 4: One?

2482
02:05:06,760 --> 02:05:07,399
Speaker 2: Seven on seven?

2483
02:05:07,640 --> 02:05:13,520
Speaker 16: Hello easy, I'm bringing back the conversation earlier about the

2484
02:05:13,720 --> 02:05:18,119
gender reveal in Albertino. You guys were talking about dementia.

2485
02:05:18,880 --> 02:05:21,319
You think he goes back and says money, it's gonna

2486
02:05:21,319 --> 02:05:24,079
be a girl. Elvidra, elvidra.

2487
02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:29,439
Speaker 2: That was. Let me let me tell you some as

2488
02:05:29,520 --> 02:05:31,560
long as you chuckled, easy, that makes the phone call,

2489
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:31,840
you know.

2490
02:05:31,880 --> 02:05:34,199
Speaker 3: That, right? Yeah? Of course?

2491
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:38,520
Speaker 16: And chicking the ball. How are we gonna do with

2492
02:05:38,720 --> 02:05:43,079
the outfield with the Astros who's out there, who's available, gentleman,

2493
02:05:43,279 --> 02:05:44,079
and I hang up.

2494
02:05:44,000 --> 02:05:46,399
Speaker 2: With thank you easy. Now did you tell me something

2495
02:05:46,439 --> 02:05:49,319
that Chandler Rome put out last day or so? Yes,

2496
02:05:49,560 --> 02:05:54,960
Chandler Rome put out his roster projection and he does

2497
02:05:55,119 --> 02:05:58,560
not at the moment have I don't believe he has

2498
02:06:00,399 --> 02:06:04,880
Zach Cole in the outfield. And he does it by

2499
02:06:05,079 --> 02:06:07,600
basically by position group. He doesn't say this is the starters,

2500
02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:11,199
this is the bench. When he listed outfielders, he listed

2501
02:06:11,399 --> 02:06:17,600
Jake Myers, camp Smith, Taylor Tremmell, and Joey Loperfido. It

2502
02:06:17,680 --> 02:06:20,720
must be because Tremmell is having a fantastic spring. He is,

2503
02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:26,359
and Zach Cole has options low Perfido also has options.

2504
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:30,640
I want to say Taylor Tremill is out of them,

2505
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:33,199
but I don't know that for a one percent fact.

2506
02:06:34,560 --> 02:06:37,439
Not not that it would matter, but yes, I there's

2507
02:06:37,439 --> 02:06:40,119
a difference set up. I mean, Zach Cole has been

2508
02:06:40,119 --> 02:06:43,399
given the opportunity and the numbers have not been great.

2509
02:06:44,039 --> 02:06:47,479
He didn't. Yeah, he's out of options Tremmeell, so it

2510
02:06:47,600 --> 02:06:49,239
makes sense for him to make it. Let Zach Cole,

2511
02:06:49,720 --> 02:06:54,680
who's been the as Chandler mentions the numbers have been great,

2512
02:06:54,720 --> 02:06:56,880
but the exit velos have been but he's also struck

2513
02:06:56,920 --> 02:06:59,439
out at fourteen out of twenty nine plate appearances. This

2514
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:02,359
is a game. And if he doesn't make the team,

2515
02:07:03,239 --> 02:07:05,000
and that's Challenger's just one voice. But he's down there

2516
02:07:05,039 --> 02:07:06,399
every single day, so you have a better pulse than

2517
02:07:06,399 --> 02:07:09,560
we would at this point. That's gonna probably push Yard

2518
02:07:09,600 --> 02:07:14,239
on it in the left field more when everybody's healthy. Yeah,

2519
02:07:14,279 --> 02:07:18,119
because I mean, are you pushing with Myers? Smith has

2520
02:07:18,159 --> 02:07:25,279
been hitting some in spring and has retooled his swing. Yeah,

2521
02:07:25,319 --> 02:07:29,600
you're gonna start Taylor Tramill every left every day. That

2522
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:31,159
could be a lot of yort on. I'm okay with that.

2523
02:07:31,279 --> 02:07:34,880
I'm okay with that. I like Taylor Tremill. Nice young man, yes,

2524
02:07:35,039 --> 02:07:40,840
but there's no sock, very limited defensively. He can play that,

2525
02:07:40,960 --> 02:07:46,439
he can play twenty eight years old. We're not talking

2526
02:07:46,439 --> 02:07:51,039
about some young prospect. Super nice guy too. You interviewed him. No, no, no,

2527
02:07:51,600 --> 02:07:54,720
that isn't the problem. The problem is you need power

2528
02:07:54,760 --> 02:07:58,079
in your corner outfield spots. Oh I thought you needed

2529
02:07:58,159 --> 02:08:00,840
nice guys out there. No, I have jerks and they

2530
02:08:00,840 --> 02:08:08,359
can hit Son. Go ahead, here's the button you're hitting

2531
02:08:08,359 --> 02:08:11,520
the panic button. I'm scared to death about the outfield.

2532
02:08:11,720 --> 02:08:13,880
I really am, and maybe I am just trying to

2533
02:08:13,920 --> 02:08:16,760
be I'm not trying to grab headlines here or do

2534
02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:19,640
you crazy something. I there has been nothing that has

2535
02:08:19,760 --> 02:08:23,880
made me think that the issues before Spring turning have

2536
02:08:23,960 --> 02:08:25,239
been resolved over the last month.

2537
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:33,039
Speaker 4: It.

2538
02:08:33,239 --> 02:08:36,760
Speaker 2: I mean, the natural thing is for escoch paratists to

2539
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:39,960
be traded and to get some outfield help. That would

2540
02:08:39,960 --> 02:08:42,560
be the natural progression, or in the natural idea, That's

2541
02:08:42,600 --> 02:08:44,159
what it feels like the idea has been. But now

2542
02:08:44,199 --> 02:08:47,680
you have the Jeremy Penia injury. Zach Cole is struggling.

2543
02:08:47,920 --> 02:08:51,319
But even if you wanted to move paraties, knowing what

2544
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:54,399
other teams know that the Astros need to outfield help,

2545
02:08:55,439 --> 02:08:58,760
is your best value going to be picked up via

2546
02:08:58,840 --> 02:09:00,640
trade in the month of April. I don't think so.

2547
02:09:01,199 --> 02:09:03,560
You're kind of waiting for an injury. I mean, waiting

2548
02:09:03,640 --> 02:09:05,600
for injuries when it comes to pitching is one thing.

2549
02:09:05,640 --> 02:09:07,760
If you're waiting for somebody literally to have a third

2550
02:09:07,800 --> 02:09:10,680
basement hurt, that's kind of fuck. It's too much of

2551
02:09:10,720 --> 02:09:14,279
a long shot. It feels like I think Jordon Alvarez

2552
02:09:14,359 --> 02:09:17,479
is gonna be able to go into jo Aspata's office

2553
02:09:17,600 --> 02:09:20,600
and say, you need some sock. You got Preadi's You're

2554
02:09:20,640 --> 02:09:23,439
not gonna need to sit him once Jeremy's healthy, play

2555
02:09:23,479 --> 02:09:27,479
me in left field half the time. It makes natural sense.

2556
02:09:28,279 --> 02:09:31,880
That is the most simple solution. The keep it simple,

2557
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:34,720
stupid kiss solution is to put jord On Moren left

2558
02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:39,680
and just wrap up Yornon Alvarez in plastic or whatever

2559
02:09:39,720 --> 02:09:41,960
you gotta do, bubble wrap when he's not in the

2560
02:09:42,039 --> 02:09:44,000
field or not on the play, so you make sure

2561
02:09:44,039 --> 02:09:48,119
he's getting eating his vitamins, saying his prayers. He's always

2562
02:09:48,159 --> 02:09:52,159
gonna work out, but in the field, the reality is

2563
02:09:52,239 --> 02:09:54,039
he gets hurt more on the bass pass than ever

2564
02:09:54,199 --> 02:09:55,840
in the field. That's true, but you're still trying to

2565
02:09:55,880 --> 02:09:58,800
limit his exposure. They don't want him out there, especially

2566
02:09:58,920 --> 02:10:01,039
running up against the I want to element out of

2567
02:10:01,119 --> 02:10:03,039
his game. That could potentially get him hurt. He hasn't

2568
02:10:03,039 --> 02:10:05,840
gotten injured against the fence, but he's hurt himself against

2569
02:10:05,840 --> 02:10:08,840
the fence. All of us good for Sureah Well, he

2570
02:10:08,960 --> 02:10:11,479
jumps up there, he's got a big arm, covers decent ground.

2571
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:13,720
I just don't Jake Myer's helping you out there. As

2572
02:10:13,800 --> 02:10:16,000
much as I think Taylor Tremmell is a major league player,

2573
02:10:16,119 --> 02:10:18,800
he's a fourth outfielder. And when you already are worried

2574
02:10:18,840 --> 02:10:21,520
about your right side of your outfield with Cam Smith

2575
02:10:21,800 --> 02:10:24,119
and whether or not that Jake Myers can provide the

2576
02:10:24,159 --> 02:10:27,760
same sort of not necessarily slog but just overall ops,

2577
02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:33,199
you need a bona fide home run threat out there,

2578
02:10:33,399 --> 02:10:37,560
and you don't want to have huge spots of uncertainty

2579
02:10:37,920 --> 02:10:40,359
six seven, eight nine, even if they can defend the position. Well,

2580
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:43,159
Low Braffdos told us in spring there were some things

2581
02:10:43,199 --> 02:10:45,319
that he did in Toronto that he really feels like

2582
02:10:45,359 --> 02:10:49,000
he can carry over to Houston. What amount of stock

2583
02:10:49,000 --> 02:10:50,319
do we put in that? Because I think it was

2584
02:10:50,359 --> 02:10:52,239
like eight to sixty ops or something like that in

2585
02:10:53,039 --> 02:10:55,520
very small sample size. And he also wasn't included in

2586
02:10:55,560 --> 02:10:58,880
every playoff roster for the Blue Jays. Can we maybe

2587
02:10:58,920 --> 02:11:01,159
try to hold out some hope there? Well, I think

2588
02:11:01,199 --> 02:11:03,159
there's gonna be plenty of opportunities for little Carafido to

2589
02:11:03,199 --> 02:11:06,000
take some spots. First of all, the Astros traded for

2590
02:11:06,079 --> 02:11:07,880
I mean, when you make a trade for a player,

2591
02:11:08,199 --> 02:11:10,880
even though you are trying to save money, you want

2592
02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:12,760
that player to succeed. You want to give him an opportunity,

2593
02:11:12,800 --> 02:11:16,680
you want to stash him on the bench. It's can

2594
02:11:16,800 --> 02:11:18,960
be a very fluid situation. We'll see, but I think

2595
02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:22,479
people are gonna lose their minds over pretty quickly. Can't

2596
02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:25,279
Wait Fire Joe Aspota. Takes are going to start at

2597
02:11:25,319 --> 02:11:28,479
the moment, the moment opening dayline anybody goes time for that,

2598
02:11:28,640 --> 02:11:32,319
the moment opening day lineups get posted. Can't Wait one

2599
02:11:32,720 --> 02:11:35,399
thirteen of The Matt Thomas Show at Ross seven one three, two,

2600
02:11:35,479 --> 02:11:38,800
one two, five, seven ninety, Will, Manuel Vince, We'll get

2601
02:11:38,800 --> 02:11:41,880
to all three of you in mere moments seven one three, two,

2602
02:11:41,960 --> 02:11:48,720
one two five, seven ninety. I asked Ross's questions during

2603
02:11:48,760 --> 02:11:52,279
the breaks, and he never answers them. I guess you

2604
02:11:52,359 --> 02:11:54,399
owe me. I often throw grenades at you right before

2605
02:11:54,399 --> 02:11:58,800
that we're coming back. That's as accurate, very off color commentary,

2606
02:11:58,920 --> 02:12:01,960
right when we're coming back. Well on seven ninety Will,

2607
02:12:02,079 --> 02:12:06,000
good afternoon to you, Hey, good afternoon, guys.

2608
02:12:06,199 --> 02:12:08,840
Speaker 21: I want to talk about the rockets, and I'll preface

2609
02:12:08,960 --> 02:12:10,920
this by saying I'm sure I'm gonna get burned for

2610
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:11,680
this take or.

2611
02:12:12,359 --> 02:12:16,640
Speaker 2: All right there it comes, well, pass to get them

2612
02:12:17,279 --> 02:12:21,000
hold on, should I get some sizzle? There we go,

2613
02:12:22,479 --> 02:12:23,279
Let's get some botch?

2614
02:12:23,279 --> 02:12:23,800
Speaker 3: You going here?

2615
02:12:23,800 --> 02:12:24,239
Speaker 8: And here we go?

2616
02:12:25,199 --> 02:12:25,840
Speaker 2: All right, go ahead.

2617
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:28,079
Speaker 21: Now, let me preface this by Let me preface this

2618
02:12:28,239 --> 02:12:30,479
by saying that I think if the Rockets had Van

2619
02:12:30,600 --> 02:12:33,000
Fleet and Steven Adams, they would be going toe to

2620
02:12:33,079 --> 02:12:35,479
toe with a thunder. So if they have the opportunity

2621
02:12:35,560 --> 02:12:37,119
to run it back by all means.

2622
02:12:37,000 --> 02:12:37,199
Speaker 4: Do that.

2623
02:12:37,479 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 2: But my question is about Sengoon.

2624
02:12:40,439 --> 02:12:43,079
Speaker 21: I look at his I look at his true shooting percentage,

2625
02:12:43,119 --> 02:12:45,279
you know, and it's not It's never been great, but

2626
02:12:45,359 --> 02:12:47,720
it's gone down year by year. So my question is,

2627
02:12:48,159 --> 02:12:50,640
is is there another level that he can get to?

2628
02:12:51,079 --> 02:12:51,640
Speaker 2: And if not?

2629
02:12:52,279 --> 02:12:55,439
Speaker 21: And if the Rockets have another first round exit, am

2630
02:12:55,520 --> 02:12:58,920
I crazy for thinking the Rockets may.

2631
02:12:58,840 --> 02:13:03,560
Speaker 2: Be a better team moving on from sing Gun? Be nice? Please? No,

2632
02:13:04,000 --> 02:13:05,840
First of all, you're not the only person thinks that. Okay,

2633
02:13:05,880 --> 02:13:07,560
it's not the craziest thing. That's not the craziest thing.

2634
02:13:07,880 --> 02:13:09,640
We're gonna send this tape to the people of Turkey,

2635
02:13:09,880 --> 02:13:12,039
so good luck with that. Now, if Turky's Twitter finds

2636
02:13:12,039 --> 02:13:14,640
out about you, will good luck. Your life's over. You'll

2637
02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:16,680
be buried in concrete in the next thirty six hours.

2638
02:13:19,239 --> 02:13:24,600
I'll just say this, Uh, I don't think he's played

2639
02:13:24,640 --> 02:13:27,039
his well post All Star Break as he did pre

2640
02:13:27,159 --> 02:13:30,840
All Star Break. His points are down, his turnovers are up.

2641
02:13:31,239 --> 02:13:35,359
His shooting percentage should be higher than it should be. Yep,

2642
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:38,239
there are great things about him. He's in an elite

2643
02:13:38,319 --> 02:13:44,920
passer for US big man, decent rebounder when he charges

2644
02:13:44,960 --> 02:13:49,119
to the basket. The pump fakes get teams nine to

2645
02:13:49,199 --> 02:13:52,439
nine percent of the time. The outside shot is not improved,

2646
02:13:52,680 --> 02:13:57,600
the defense continues to be underverwhelming. Yeah, there are still

2647
02:13:57,600 --> 02:13:59,600
a lot of good things about him. But if I've

2648
02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:02,600
given you the awesomeness about him and the warts as well,

2649
02:14:03,319 --> 02:14:05,039
guess who also knows about all the things I just

2650
02:14:05,119 --> 02:14:07,960
described twenty nine other NBA tech every other team in

2651
02:14:08,000 --> 02:14:10,399
the league. So it's hard for me to move on

2652
02:14:10,560 --> 02:14:14,079
from somebody if you don't love him, to expect another

2653
02:14:14,119 --> 02:14:15,880
team to love him more than what you do. And

2654
02:14:15,960 --> 02:14:18,000
at this point, so that's the reason why it's hard

2655
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:20,439
for me to get into conversations about well, you know

2656
02:14:21,600 --> 02:14:24,479
any play whether's football player, basketball player, baseball player. If

2657
02:14:24,520 --> 02:14:26,520
you know them intimately, so do the other people on

2658
02:14:26,520 --> 02:14:29,439
the other side of the trade. Of the phone conversations.

2659
02:14:30,720 --> 02:14:33,199
Speaker 21: Yeah, and I agree, And I mean, I'm not under

2660
02:14:33,279 --> 02:14:35,279
any false pretenses that they're going to trade him and

2661
02:14:35,319 --> 02:14:38,359
get Janni Sante Tocumpo or something like that, but I

2662
02:14:38,560 --> 02:14:41,199
just feel like, you know, and I'm not an expert

2663
02:14:41,319 --> 02:14:43,279
enough to tell you who, but you know, if they

2664
02:14:43,319 --> 02:14:46,800
could get somebody, a facilitator, you know, somebody like that,

2665
02:14:47,079 --> 02:14:49,800
this team could possibly look better. I just for me,

2666
02:14:50,039 --> 02:14:51,920
you know, I feel like true shooting percentage is the

2667
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:57,119
ops of basketball statistics, and it's very concerning to me that,

2668
02:14:57,239 --> 02:14:58,800
you know, I'm looking at it the other day and

2669
02:14:59,760 --> 02:15:01,960
not that it was ever great for a center, for

2670
02:15:02,039 --> 02:15:05,359
a five, but it's it's gone down pretty consistently every

2671
02:15:05,439 --> 02:15:07,199
single year. And you know, people want to call him

2672
02:15:07,199 --> 02:15:10,319
Baby Jokic, and obviously that's an exaggeration, but I mean,

2673
02:15:10,640 --> 02:15:13,079
if we're getting into the deep dive analytics of it,

2674
02:15:13,319 --> 02:15:16,399
he's nowhere close. I mean, and if the rockets, if

2675
02:15:16,479 --> 02:15:18,560
Rafael Stone came out, or if you guys want to

2676
02:15:18,600 --> 02:15:19,960
come out and say that they think he's going to

2677
02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:21,279
get to that level, I.

2678
02:15:21,319 --> 02:15:23,079
Speaker 2: Mean I'll buy that. I'm willing to wait on it.

2679
02:15:23,239 --> 02:15:25,159
Speaker 21: I just I kind of feel like he may have

2680
02:15:25,279 --> 02:15:27,239
hit his ceiling, and I'm just not sure he's ever

2681
02:15:27,319 --> 02:15:30,119
going to be a really efficient player and maybe even

2682
02:15:30,159 --> 02:15:31,399
fit what the Rockets want to do.

2683
02:15:31,560 --> 02:15:33,279
Speaker 2: So if that's just my key, Yeah, if that was

2684
02:15:33,319 --> 02:15:35,199
your take, and that's what sounds like you is will,

2685
02:15:35,720 --> 02:15:37,560
then what would you expect in return? I mean, you

2686
02:15:37,680 --> 02:15:40,840
can't give what you just described and two other players

2687
02:15:40,920 --> 02:15:43,319
and say I'm going to go get the For instance,

2688
02:15:43,680 --> 02:15:45,199
you would have to if you want to go get

2689
02:15:45,279 --> 02:15:47,279
Yannis and you wanted to get him in the sweepstakes,

2690
02:15:47,800 --> 02:15:49,920
I'm sure the Bucks would want Opera in shan Gun.

2691
02:15:49,960 --> 02:15:51,720
He has a two time All Star, but that's not

2692
02:15:51,840 --> 02:15:53,800
going to satisfy the deal. There's gonna be several first

2693
02:15:53,840 --> 02:15:55,840
round picks, or maybe another life player is part of

2694
02:15:55,880 --> 02:15:58,000
it as well. He would have to be a part

2695
02:15:58,079 --> 02:15:59,079
of a large package.

2696
02:15:59,119 --> 02:15:59,479
Speaker 16: A mono.

2697
02:15:59,560 --> 02:16:03,680
Speaker 2: A mono deal would not necessarily bring back a player

2698
02:16:03,760 --> 02:16:07,159
that you said, oh, this guy is free awards. I

2699
02:16:07,279 --> 02:16:08,920
think what he could do in a trade.

2700
02:16:08,960 --> 02:16:10,960
Speaker 21: If you're if we're talking Jannis, You're absolutely right, you

2701
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:13,119
got to package a lot more. But I think his

2702
02:16:13,239 --> 02:16:15,359
biggest trade value at this point would be the name.

2703
02:16:15,720 --> 02:16:17,439
You know, if the Bucks, If the Bucks are trading

2704
02:16:17,439 --> 02:16:20,079
Giannis ante Tokumpo. You know, they're going to have to

2705
02:16:20,159 --> 02:16:22,000
sell that to their fan base and getting a big

2706
02:16:22,119 --> 02:16:24,880
name like Alpera and Sengoon, while the real meat of

2707
02:16:24,960 --> 02:16:27,159
the trade for them is you know, the what is it,

2708
02:16:27,239 --> 02:16:29,399
the Brooklyn pick in a few years. I mean, I

2709
02:16:29,479 --> 02:16:32,159
feel like that's his value at this point. Other than that,

2710
02:16:32,319 --> 02:16:34,559
I mean, you're probably looking at trading him for role players,

2711
02:16:34,600 --> 02:16:37,040
I'm guessing, but again I'm not an expert on this, So.

2712
02:16:37,479 --> 02:16:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard. It's hard to trade a life human being,

2713
02:16:39,920 --> 02:16:42,799
especially when this human being is right now the second

2714
02:16:42,840 --> 02:16:46,159
most important player on your basketball team and a back

2715
02:16:46,200 --> 02:16:50,040
to back Area star. And yeah, it's an interesting conversation.

2716
02:16:50,079 --> 02:16:52,639
He's twenty three years old, Like, that's the thing we

2717
02:16:52,760 --> 02:16:55,559
have to remember as well, kid, there's still room for

2718
02:16:55,719 --> 02:16:58,280
him to grow and improve. And the shooting numbers have

2719
02:16:58,399 --> 02:17:00,840
gone down will And it's not exactly like ops, because

2720
02:17:01,159 --> 02:17:03,520
as your usage goes up, your numbers are gonna go down.

2721
02:17:03,600 --> 02:17:05,799
So his usage has gone up, and so the efficiency

2722
02:17:05,840 --> 02:17:08,360
has gone down a little bit. Turnovers are up, which

2723
02:17:08,399 --> 02:17:09,879
of course a lot of that is a function of

2724
02:17:09,920 --> 02:17:12,879
Fred van Vliet not being out. And also I will

2725
02:17:12,959 --> 02:17:15,239
throw in that he had that ankle injury in December,

2726
02:17:15,959 --> 02:17:18,319
didn't look the same, came back really quickly, and he

2727
02:17:18,479 --> 02:17:21,000
was horrible for a big stretch. That definitely seems playing

2728
02:17:21,040 --> 02:17:23,360
through paying he's got back spasm saying he's still questionable

2729
02:17:23,399 --> 02:17:26,440
for tonight's game, so that sank his numbers. Can he

2730
02:17:26,799 --> 02:17:30,120
I think the biggest thing that where I see improvement

2731
02:17:30,200 --> 02:17:33,120
for alpry ching Gun long term is if he gets

2732
02:17:33,200 --> 02:17:35,639
twenty six twenty seven years old, keeps with the weight

2733
02:17:35,719 --> 02:17:38,680
training programs and gets stronger and stronger. If he becomes

2734
02:17:38,760 --> 02:17:42,040
like a even he can push guys around, but when

2735
02:17:42,040 --> 02:17:44,239
he goes up against like a Jonas Valanciunas or some

2736
02:17:44,399 --> 02:17:46,520
of the like the other Sinners who are pretty big,

2737
02:17:47,239 --> 02:17:50,079
he struggles. If he can get to that strength to

2738
02:17:50,120 --> 02:17:52,799
where he can bully guys around, both offensively and on

2739
02:17:52,920 --> 02:17:56,040
the boards, then I think he can unlock another level.

2740
02:17:56,239 --> 02:17:57,559
I just don't know that he can do that.

2741
02:17:58,840 --> 02:18:01,319
Speaker 12: Yeah with chin Gun, A caller a couple of days

2742
02:18:01,319 --> 02:18:03,559
ago made a very good point he hasn't had a

2743
02:18:03,639 --> 02:18:06,000
break like he played all through the summer with the

2744
02:18:06,079 --> 02:18:07,840
euro Basket. Yeah, and then it came into this and

2745
02:18:07,920 --> 02:18:09,559
I mean that could be a thing where he needs

2746
02:18:09,600 --> 02:18:11,680
to lay off that coming back next season. If Van

2747
02:18:11,719 --> 02:18:13,319
Bleet's ready to go, I mean that could just be

2748
02:18:13,440 --> 02:18:15,639
he's exhausted, like he has no time his rest.

2749
02:18:15,719 --> 02:18:17,520
Speaker 2: The I think for a guy that plays beyond the

2750
02:18:17,559 --> 02:18:19,600
free throw line as much as he does, I want

2751
02:18:19,639 --> 02:18:23,239
to see he had some asseumblance of a three point

2752
02:18:23,280 --> 02:18:26,159
shot first months of the year, but that's gone away,

2753
02:18:27,159 --> 02:18:30,000
and now you can to put him and Amend Thompson

2754
02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:32,200
the floor for significant minutes on the floor at the

2755
02:18:32,280 --> 02:18:34,319
same time, with both guys not being able to shoot

2756
02:18:34,360 --> 02:18:38,760
outside of fifteen feet, that's troublesome. That makes the that

2757
02:18:39,120 --> 02:18:42,559
makes scouting him a little bit easier. Now, put his

2758
02:18:42,959 --> 02:18:45,399
head down, bowl in China shop, go to the basket,

2759
02:18:45,760 --> 02:18:48,280
go get it out, be go to those three sixty

2760
02:18:48,360 --> 02:18:49,040
twist moves.

2761
02:18:49,399 --> 02:18:49,440
Speaker 3: Go.

2762
02:18:49,920 --> 02:18:53,159
Speaker 2: His footwork for being a guy his size is incredible.

2763
02:18:54,159 --> 02:18:57,000
I'm ross, I'm kind of I knew what he used defensively,

2764
02:18:57,200 --> 02:19:01,040
I just know, can can he diverse by his offensive game?

2765
02:19:01,120 --> 02:19:04,120
Can he be at a sixty percent clip inside ten

2766
02:19:04,159 --> 02:19:06,360
feet as compared to being about a forty five percent clip.

2767
02:19:06,520 --> 02:19:08,079
That's where I see I think the improvement needs to

2768
02:19:08,120 --> 02:19:11,120
care of bulking up and filling out your body. He

2769
02:19:11,319 --> 02:19:13,920
is twenty three years old. That that would be that

2770
02:19:13,959 --> 02:19:16,920
would be the plan if I'm the Rockets, yep, emmanual evince,

2771
02:19:16,959 --> 02:19:18,719
We'll get to you. One two, we come back seven

2772
02:19:18,760 --> 02:19:20,840
one three two one two five seven ninety if you

2773
02:19:20,840 --> 02:19:22,920
want to chime in behind behind those guys seven one

2774
02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:25,680
three two one two five seven NINTI With a reminder,

2775
02:19:25,719 --> 02:19:28,719
it's a very googleable edition of today's Believe It or Not,

2776
02:19:28,840 --> 02:19:30,360
and that it's coming up at one fifty. It does

2777
02:19:30,479 --> 02:19:35,479
revolve around the sixty eight teams in the NCAA tournament.

2778
02:19:38,520 --> 02:19:41,559
Apparently Alabama guard Aid and Holloway will be available for

2779
02:19:41,600 --> 02:19:45,840
their first round game against Hofstra Nato. It's quoting Aiden

2780
02:19:45,959 --> 02:19:48,680
is a good kid. The whole thing is a big misunderstanding. Yeah,

2781
02:19:48,680 --> 02:19:52,680
it's gonna happen, big misunderstanding. Poweed's a big old misunderstanding.

2782
02:19:54,079 --> 02:19:56,920
We found a fall guy. So you're saying, Bob, we

2783
02:19:57,000 --> 02:19:58,479
have the three of us. How does this work out?

2784
02:19:58,719 --> 02:20:04,559
Am I? Y'alls fall guy? Absolutely Jonson in this situation,

2785
02:20:04,799 --> 02:20:08,399
any situation. Yeah, yeah, now you gotta we gotta get

2786
02:20:08,479 --> 02:20:10,719
yeah here, we got you down. I will be your

2787
02:20:10,760 --> 02:20:13,440
fall guys. Okay, good. You'll get off easy. Thank you,

2788
02:20:14,559 --> 02:20:18,959
Vince on seven a head events. Yeah, hey guys, Hey.

2789
02:20:20,079 --> 02:20:22,600
Speaker 4: I was thinking about this earlier before you guys started

2790
02:20:22,639 --> 02:20:27,399
talking about coaches sons. In terms of Calvin Sampson and

2791
02:20:27,479 --> 02:20:32,280
his son, Kellen Kelvin seventy. I mean, I'm guessing he's

2792
02:20:32,280 --> 02:20:35,319
got at least three three good years, maybe four or five.

2793
02:20:37,120 --> 02:20:40,760
And if Kellen is like the heir apparent, do you

2794
02:20:40,879 --> 02:20:45,200
think he's going to have the same type of respect

2795
02:20:45,239 --> 02:20:50,680
from his players that Kelvin does, you know, especially you

2796
02:20:50,760 --> 02:20:54,079
know in light of how Kellen kind of berates his kids,

2797
02:20:54,559 --> 02:20:57,200
you know, during games in front of everybody, which is

2798
02:20:57,239 --> 02:20:59,239
okay with me. I'm totally fine with that because I

2799
02:20:59,319 --> 02:21:02,719
know there's an aside to that, But how do you

2800
02:21:02,840 --> 02:21:06,920
think that, if that is the progression, how the players

2801
02:21:07,680 --> 02:21:10,319
and recruitse will react toward his son.

2802
02:21:11,719 --> 02:21:14,120
Speaker 2: I can't answer that question because every individual is different,

2803
02:21:14,159 --> 02:21:16,239
every coach is different. Thank you for the phone call, Vince.

2804
02:21:16,360 --> 02:21:20,000
The reality is Kelvin Kellen, which make sure Kellen the son.

2805
02:21:20,680 --> 02:21:22,959
It's been an assistant coach for a long time and

2806
02:21:23,120 --> 02:21:25,280
you've learned a lot of things from your father, but

2807
02:21:25,479 --> 02:21:28,920
Kelln's also half his age. And is going to be

2808
02:21:28,959 --> 02:21:31,760
dealing with eighteen nineteen year olds for the foreseeable future. Well,

2809
02:21:31,879 --> 02:21:34,040
Kelvin has been doing this for a long time and

2810
02:21:34,159 --> 02:21:39,680
is in the not downside, but there are a few

2811
02:21:39,760 --> 02:21:41,319
remaining years he's going to be a coach. Y does

2812
02:21:41,360 --> 02:21:42,920
that make sense? He's in the back end. Back in.

2813
02:21:46,120 --> 02:21:47,799
I give credit to seven year olds that can relate

2814
02:21:47,840 --> 02:21:49,760
to nineteen year olds because most seven year olds cannot

2815
02:21:49,760 --> 02:21:53,319
relate to nineteen year olds. Well, especially a high and

2816
02:21:53,760 --> 02:21:56,280
high compensated college basketball Well, it's usually when you have

2817
02:21:56,440 --> 02:21:59,959
a level of a success that's going to comeand respect

2818
02:22:00,079 --> 02:22:02,799
to which he does. Yes. Now, the big thing that

2819
02:22:03,200 --> 02:22:05,520
Kellen won't have that Kelvin has is that Kelvin can

2820
02:22:05,559 --> 02:22:07,760
go into a parent's home and say, I'm gonna get

2821
02:22:07,799 --> 02:22:10,399
your kid ready for the NBA. He's gonna get an education,

2822
02:22:10,799 --> 02:22:12,799
he's gonna work hard. I'm gonn give him some tough love.

2823
02:22:12,879 --> 02:22:15,200
Kellen can't do that because Kellen's never done it directly.

2824
02:22:16,200 --> 02:22:18,399
He's been a byproduct. I've been not directly said hey,

2825
02:22:18,760 --> 02:22:20,680
I've got this kid of the NBA. I got this

2826
02:22:20,920 --> 02:22:25,159
kid to graduate. But that's you know, that's what Kellen

2827
02:22:25,239 --> 02:22:28,000
could have easily got a head coaching job at a

2828
02:22:28,040 --> 02:22:29,879
lot of small division ones. He decided he wanted to

2829
02:22:29,879 --> 02:22:32,920
stick around with Dad and either soak it up or

2830
02:22:33,079 --> 02:22:37,639
enjoy the experience of being a number one assistant. And

2831
02:22:37,719 --> 02:22:39,280
the plan isn't placed for to be a head coach.

2832
02:22:40,440 --> 02:22:43,200
The leash will be short, however, is just what we imagine.

2833
02:22:44,200 --> 02:22:47,479
I again, when you are gifted a job, your leash

2834
02:22:47,520 --> 02:22:49,719
will be shorter than if you are not gifted a job.

2835
02:22:51,479 --> 02:22:57,559
Year one for young Pearl, no tournament, no tournament. Year two,

2836
02:22:57,879 --> 02:23:00,959
they don't make tournament. We'll see. By the way, Penny

2837
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:05,440
Harley gonna stay at Memphis really makes a lot of money.

2838
02:23:07,479 --> 02:23:11,319
They said, you can stay if we hire a general manager,

2839
02:23:11,639 --> 02:23:13,719
which you're going to do, okay, and you get get

2840
02:23:13,799 --> 02:23:17,239
rid of all your coaches brand new slain House, sleen House,

2841
02:23:18,639 --> 02:23:21,920
And he said, okay. He must love the job. Plus

2842
02:23:22,120 --> 02:23:25,399
he's easier, it's easier to compensate those that are leaving

2843
02:23:25,479 --> 02:23:28,239
that it is the Megga millions that he's being paid

2844
02:23:28,239 --> 02:23:30,399
at Memphis right now. He's a Memphis King, went to

2845
02:23:30,399 --> 02:23:32,760
play at college basketball at Memphis. Hard to get rid

2846
02:23:32,760 --> 02:23:36,719
of one of your own, but it's it's been done. Yes,

2847
02:23:36,799 --> 02:23:42,639
it has signed Clyde Drexler. Uh, sign Cliff Kingsbury. Yes,

2848
02:23:43,719 --> 02:23:45,719
and that guy could have lived in Lubbock if you'd

2849
02:23:45,799 --> 02:23:49,600
just gone to seven wins every year. Let's go doing great. No,

2850
02:23:49,639 --> 02:23:51,600
I thought he got I thought he got hired up. No, no,

2851
02:23:51,680 --> 02:23:54,280
he a fired. He got fired at then he got

2852
02:23:54,360 --> 02:23:58,200
hired up. Everyone's like what, Yeah, he's still got it.

2853
02:23:58,319 --> 02:23:59,239
He gets work every year.

2854
02:23:59,719 --> 02:24:00,319
Speaker 3: Good for him.

2855
02:24:02,280 --> 02:24:05,360

2892
02:25:46,799 --> 02:25:49,520
Speaker 2: Texas basketball has been hurting me longer than you have

2893
02:25:49,639 --> 02:25:53,399
been alive, Jonathan. Think of every memory. Think of your

2894
02:25:53,639 --> 02:25:55,719
I don't know what your earliest memory is. Think of that.

2895
02:25:56,200 --> 02:25:58,680
Think of what you were drawing in first grade. Think

2896
02:25:58,760 --> 02:26:01,799
of anything that happened, think of I don't know your

2897
02:26:01,840 --> 02:26:05,600
your first love and in high school whatever. At that time,

2898
02:26:06,239 --> 02:26:11,479
Texas basketball was hurting me. Okay, it's been too long.

2899
02:26:13,239 --> 02:26:17,799
