Speaker 1: This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.
Speaker 2: One Inn h Town.
Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome to a Thursday edition of The
Matt Thomas Show and Ross here on Sports Talk seven ninety.
We have another spring training day game today for you,
So we're gonna be on half as long. It's we
used to say snack size way back in the name.
It was like half hour shows. We're going for almost
a full two hours today Sports RV. It's a light lunch,
it is. It's like you got a like a Brazilian
steakhouse for dinner, so you have a little light lunch
and today the lunch will be delicious, Yes it will.
And will I be paid by me? About Gi Sizzle,
I'm start calling the Chandler rome event because so far
he's over to helping you out. Hey, you know what,
Whack tell him every time I to make sure he knows.
The big problem was that I didn't factor in the CBA.
I should have factored it made it a bigger factor
in my mind than I did. I should have canceled
the bet once I realized there was going to be
a lockout and I actually had a chance to, I
mend the bet, downgraded it. I wanted to say, let's
pay it all. No, we upgraded it. We upgraded it,
made it worse. Yeah, oh, poor kid, it's fine, that's fine, Jonathan.
You ready for the little Botchie big baby. We go eat.
I'm ready we go eat today. Very nice, be great.
You know what our topic is going to be at
lunch today. I don't care Kyle Tucker's sixty million dollar
contract per year. No no, no, no no. For people
who don't know, Matt and I made a bet yes,
and we're legendary bet makers here on the show seven
and a half years over under for the Kyle Tucker deal.
I had the over I had full confidence. I even
pulled this random hit botchie sound, and then I lost
the bet. And today I will be paying the bet finally,
because you're finally out of town and over your fifteen
sicknesses and I chart my illnesses. I've not been ill
charged them. Well, yeah, because I want to. That's weird. Well,
it's because it's happening every year, and it's the allergy
season that gets I've deduced that. Okay, I didn't realize
it's funny you get it? Can you get allergies? I mean,
I think the answer is yes, get aergies later. I
get allergies now more than I never used to get allergies,
and now I get them all quite often. So now
because you're immune, so you're getting older and your immune
system gets weaker. That makes me feel so I wouldn't
get sorry. As soon as I finished the attempt at
the radio show that today, I went and got two shots,
one of my left cheek and one of my right
and they both so you should have to at least
pay for an appetizer for that. I try. I was
trying to be a good teammate, great job bat So
I get the shot and she's like if if Men
Thompson went on the on the court with a broken ankle,
you're trying to help age. I didn't know. I'm like
Dorian Phinney Smith. I'm trying to go through. I'm trying.
Oh he's getting better, he is getting me. He's gonna
get very incrementally, very small steps, but he's improving. I
think we'll see the role Dorian Phinney Smith next season. Okay,
this might be a lost campaign for Do we have
some breaking news by the way, you want to hit
the sounder, Yeah, yeah, it's I think it's the second one.
Go ahead, one more from Adam Schefter. Offensive tackle Trent
Brown and the Houston Texans reached an agreement today on
a one year extension worth up to seven million dollars
per his agent, Drew Rosenhouse. So Trump Brown's back, that's good.
You don't Normally I would say it's a one sounder,
but since there's no offensive lineup left, you have to
give it a second sounder exactly. I mean, yeah, one year,
seven million, that's what is max value? Oh max as
in the deal will be up to seven million dollars
ins And Aaron Wilson is also tweeting it, and so
who got it first? Uh, Adam Schefter. Those national guys
get it, always get it first, because you know why,
it's easier to give it to them. You know what
I do hate now they can control narratives better, yes,
because there they are the pipeline from the agent. So
if Schefter gets something from Rosenhouse, Rose is gonna call
him and say, hey, I need you to put a
name out, and Adam Shefter be like, of course, I'll
be happy to do that for you, exactly. You know,
because he's got a bigger platform sports journalism, and this
could be. I'm sure this is the political game as well.
We just don't follow politics, yes, but I'm sure that
it's the same in all forts of journalism. I'll scratch
your back, you scratch mine. So it's not digging Trent Brown.
Adam Shepard doesn't know about Trent Brown because he's not
because Trent Brown's not calling him, or he's not calling
Trent Brown. Rosenhouse knows. As soon as I sign this,
I need to let the biggest national party know that
the group maybe know about it. And so he said,
ye'll not get out with Rosenhe well and Trent Trent
Brown to Houston, Texas. It's fine, that's good. Are you
sure how old is he? It doesn't matter, that's true,
offensive lineman. I don't care how old he is. He performed, Okay, yeah,
Why are you checking his birth certificate? Because I don't.
It'll be a Trent Brown berther. No, I'm a Trent
Brown truther, not a berther. He's thirty two. Did you
while you sign your tongue that way? I'm not what
you excuse me? Can we repeat that? No, we get out?
Repeat that. I didn't slide my tongue anywhere. Well, you
you just squinted weirdly. You said, why would you say those?
I don't know A fay ten o'clock already locked and loaded.
I think, uh, oh, you're not using any of the
sound from the show on Tuesday. When was that day?
Please don't don't use any of that or we're gonna
bury that. We're burying that tape. I tried. It's okay,
it's all right, man mate. We're very very proud of you.
I did great, so amazing. So I went to get
the shots. Yes, and for the it was one in
the left, one and the right. And she said, why
didn't you lift your leg in the opposite focus. Sometimes
the pressures like, I've never lifted my leg excuse me? Yeah,
and I did. It didn't hurt either way. I mean
you what She asked you to lift your leg up
while you took your shot in the leg, so the
pressure went. Yeah, it was upper cheek. It was not
like indirectly on the it was the upper ass. Hmmm.
So then I've been taking I have another stereoid and
another antibiotic, and the side effect is random hiccups. Is
that true? I went and looked it up and and Google,
I wouldn't wouldn't tell me what mine, but but I
guess you're fine. Depends on how like at one in
the morning, I wake up mill the night just with hiccups.
This is weird. Okay, so well, don't hiccup too much
during the I don't want to hicke up much during
the show. I think you're falling apart. I have not been.
I have not been ill since late October. I think
that's pretty good. And it's allergy season. So it is
what it is. And I do I do run around
this country and do two jobs right now and hang
out with you makes me mentally ill, for sure, physically
ill sometimes. All right, we got to get to the
what main bit of the day. What's the main bit
of the day. Jeremy Paine is going to get his finger. Oh,
he's not getting his finger amputated. I didn't say that
it's gonna get X rayed. It's gonna get evaluated. Okay, Yeah,
it's like a fingertip. He's got a little fracture. He'd
be fine, go ahead. It could have happened in spring
training game. It was a ground ball. It was a
ground ball. Could happen anywhere to practice. It happened in
the backfields. Could have spring training game, yes, but it
happened to the WBC. Yes, it did well. Yes, was
it the exhibition game. It wasn't a real game. They
don't start till today, I think so. Yeah, so it
wasn't even in a WBC game. But he was wearing
WBC uniform. Okay, so he's wearing a different shirt. I'm
gonna say it, and I appreciate the amount of UH
enthusiasm that the athletes have and the countries have. Look,
I'm going I'm gonna pretty much assume that tomorrow night
at seven o'clock over at Dyke and Park, the place
is gonna be jammed with lots of American fans screaming
Team US at Yes, of course, Alex Bredman, our good friend,
will be in town for that. Yeah, Aaron Judge and
his great motivational speaking would be in town for that. Yes,
he's cracking smiles and laughs during the middle of his
motivational speech, which I still don't have a problem with. Well,
he is getting annihilated. It's it's just because it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter if he goes and screams and like,
let's go you was we're number one, Like that's that
look like an ass? They would have been fired up
for No, they wouldn't have been fired up. He would
have looked like a dumb ass. He would have got
crushed if he did that. Maybe they shouldn't have. They
would have been like, bro thinks this is uh, you know,
the World War three? Like it's just the WBC. That's
what they would have said. If he was taking it
too serious and screaming and getting fingers in people's chests,
they would have been stupid. He would have been t
USA runs over you. You're flipping, like flipping tables and
throwing chairs for the WBC. He would have looked like
an ass. So he can't win either way. I got
no problems. So they probably should have just recorded it
at all. They shouldn't record it at all. That was
a bad idea, and especially once you record that and
like you ever record something out and you're like, man,
I'm not going to post that correct yes on the
daily Oh, you're like and I'm not going to post that.
That's what they should have done. Some of my best
tweets in the world have been ones that have never
published or deleted. Yeah for that once you call out
guys for being blocks of cheese. Yeah, I got rid
of that really quick. That's good. I felt terrible about that.
You should you do it? You did a Friday, Sorry
for him. Oh we got that tomorrow. By the way,
today we have a surprise segment in ten thirty.
Speaker 2: We do.
Speaker 1: We're not telling you what it is. No, the three
of us know what it is, okay, but the rest
of us do not, or the rest of you do not. Wonderful,
so you need to listen at ten thirty. First surprise
segment at eleven thirty. Today we have I just don't
get it, and I have one from multiple hotels and
one of the hots Diamond variety. No, the one that
you and I were in down in Florida. Oh really
had this as well. It's in a case of I
just don't get it. Okay, I'm intrigued. Yeah, eleven thirty,
So I got that coming up today, can't wait. We
have Astros Baseball at eleven fifty five twelve ten first pitch,
and the Astros lineup is legit today yesterday not so legit.
Although this Canada of LSU hit a big bomb yesterday. Yeah,
what was his name? Ethan Frye and Shay Wickham hit
two home runs for Team Canada yesterday. Oh they're in
a hiccups popping up there. Okay, sorry, Well it's a
good way to segue the show. If you'd like to
be a part of it and hear less of me
hiccupping seven one three two one two five seven ninety

really actually watch it in full before that guy owes
you money. I am the number one most viewed post

hit you with the facts. I don't like facts sometimes.
Oh sorry, you know what, you're number one, Matt? You
know n No, I can't see you're on number one.
That's not good. That's cheap bad timing as well. Seven

want to visit with us again on Instagram and Twitter
at sports empty, did you say a Wickham places for Canada?
Did somebody say that I did? What's he play for Korea? Oh?
I didn't know. I thought it was. I didn't even
hear you say that. Yeah, it's well, I don't care
because it w EBC sucks. There it is there here,
haven't you got it right? WBC is great, let's go. No,
it's not. It's not fun. It's once every three years
we're gonna get there is literally a maximum of seven games.
It's fine. And if Jeremy Panna can't play for the
first month the year and be like, oh, yeah, we're
not gonna miss a month, probably not. It was terrible. Well,
he's probably gona miss the first round of a WBC.
Oh no, Shaye Wickham sounds like a Canadian name. Anyway,
it doesn't ss not Korean Shay Wicker his mother's Korean. Okay,
Well then I guess it makes it eligible. Then yeah. Seven.
I should have known these things. I know Willie's probably
not happy about it. But I'm at four. I'm at

all for you, Matt. You're doing great. I want some money.
I know you should. You should tell him that he
they he should not be recording you and posting that
without your consent and making cash and building his brand
and people are more likely to go to his restaurant
off of his YouTube. He should.
Speaker 5: You should have put you're at in that comment section
and be like, this is me sports talk.
Speaker 1: You know, dude, send him a letter, you know, a lawyer. No,
I want to sy I'm gonna send up Facebook. I'm
gonna sendhim a message on it on the air. You
recorded me without my consent, and I'll go like it
so it gets more of a picked up on the algorithm.
There you go. I like how you think Surprise seven?
You're coming up in ten minutes on the show. We
can't tell what it is. It wouldn't be a surprise.
Are you a team surprise guy or a team I
need to know everything in advance. I love surprises. I
love surprise so fun. Yeah, it makes you feel like
a kid again. I my wife does not like surprises.
I would say pretty close to despises them, except for
we had two of the three kids we did not
know what sex is where they were when they came out,
and we enjoyed that. The third one, or the second kid,
we did know and it wasn't as merely as much fun.
But like I have surprised her with trips. Women don't
like that because you're basically telling them. I know women
that like that. Well, I know one I've been married
for twenty seven years too, that doesn't like it. It's
like it's it's not like about Oh, that wasn't thoughtful,
but it was like I gotta go pack and I'm
giving you give me ninety minutes. That's not great. No,
or you just tell him, hey, just pack and bring
a swimsuit. That's a swimsuit. Swimsuit it's where you go.
It's you put it on to go into a pool
or a hot tub or the beach. Okay, very good,
it's a suit to swim in. I got you. Yeah,
I just uh. I love surprises, So we're gonna surprise
you guys at ten thirty or something. Love it all right?
Seven one three two one. It's not a beach vacation.
I said, no, I don't think so nice if we
didn't surprises yet. Yeah, we're working at that though. We Yeah,
it's good. Astros are playing the Marlins today, right. I
want to make sure I get that right. I had
poor Team had Poor Shakwick and playing for Team Canada. Yeah,
he's a co Colorea, Korea's two Bay lead Things off
Palla by Jordan Alvarez Esak Perettes. This is a road game,
by the way, it's it's uh, they're playing in Jupiter,
so it's like a far Okay, it's not Middle three
h Christian Water. Huh. Yeah, it's Bob Crafts. He loves
the neighborhood. Get it up with it over there. I mean, honestly,
I don't think it's I mean went he's not married.
He wasn't married at the time. Uh, go ahead, you
don't want to come, We'll move on. I got the
restaurant to get too. I will say too now you know,
never mind, No, I got nothing. Al two bay Alvarez,

that right here? Love it? Well, have another game tomorrow.
We're gonna be made Doka on the show tomorrow, and
I'm sorry, We're move up. I'm sorry a little earlier
so we can get because I think game is gonna
join us at eleven thirty. Okay, oh it's another short show. Yeah,
any Mandoka and I just picked up a pregame tomorrow
because I'm a team player. That you I was a
team player ler this week. You're being a team player
later this week. That's nice. Okay. So the worry on
the Jeremy Pagnon and I remember the Astros aren't the
most forthright when it comes to injuries. Well, they got
new trainers. They're all good, that's true. The initial is
he's gonna miss the first Jeremy's gonna miss the firs
round of the WBC. That means for the first like
pool play, like the first four games. Who knows, I mean,
I don't you know? Yeah what its first round mean exactly?
The first round to be the first game, right, yeah,
I don't know how back from a couple of days
from a from a it's like a fingertip fracture though, right, yes,
so he's gonna be fine. I mean, I wouldn't think
it would be a serious injury and put some tape
on it. How does that happen on a ground ball?
How hard was this ground ball hit? It's like one
hundred and twenty mile an hour, screaming foul ball, ground ball.
Maybe there was like your hand glove placement was not great.
Maybe this sweet spot it hopped up on them. Yeah,
which could have happened anywhere. But I'm telling you and
I I don't think I'm the only one that believes this.
I think I'm in the minority. But if somebody's going
to get hurt, and you never want to be to
get hurt, I'd rather be on your on your watch
as compared to somebody else's watch. I mean, I agree
with you in theory, but also it's not a big
deal to me. The guys want to play their huge
their autonomous human beings. They want to represent their countries.
The reality is it's important for Jeremy Painey to represent
the Dominican Republic. When I talked him in the spring training,
his eyes popped up. I mean he loves I think obviously.
I think Josel Twoby's bummed that he can't do it.
I think Carl's career was clearly bummed that he know
what they are with their insurance issues. But if you
get hurt and the insurance don't pay, you don't get paid,
then they're not gonna they want to get paid some
money still matters in the big picture, of course, So
what's their livelihoods. Yeah, it's just it's a great honor,
but it's just it's not And it's funny that Jeremy
can get maybe because of his of his age. Maybe,
I mean, I would think i'd be his age, right,
younger we're talking about, which about Korea and Altuba being
North thirty. They're also making more money. They're making thirty
million ps. Gan pain is our arbitration. One thing we've
not talked about at all this spring, really on this
show a whole lot, is the fact that there has
been no conversations about Jeremy Penia and or Hunter Brown
on contract extensions. And I think it's not because the
astros don't want to do it. It takes multiple things
at Tango. You have the agent, you have the player,
and then you have the lockout coming in and you
have who's the agent, yes, and the lockout. I think
the lockout is looming bigger than we all thought, myself
included with the Hibachi bet that I lost. That's fine,
We're gonna get Are we gonna get sixty games next year?
If I was if you were to make a small
just scoreboard bet now nothing, bet bet are we getting
sixty games? So we got sixty over? But I don't know.
I don't know. I think a hundred is maybe good,
a good line chances of us going very very close
to zero. I'm gonna miss that. What was that seafood place?
Who went to? That's incredible? It was good. Captain Charlie's Yes,
middle of nowhere but delicious. If you're going to spring
train and go to Captain Charlie so you could probably
what you do. You got to skip all your meals
ahead of time and just five things in Juno Beach
in order to the gumbo late and you can eat
half of it the next day and reheat it in
the office. And meanwhile, ask and players are like, what
the hell is this? Dana Brown's walking around? I was
just probably released. You can't release Ross. There was some
chicken and sausage in there. It wasn't all fish. So
it's gonna be a man. I don't want to think
about it. I want to enjoy this year, but I
do think about it more than I probably should because
it is such a huge part of you and I's
talking points in this radio show. We love baseball. We
have we think we've got the best baseball listening audience.
It'll be like when the pandemic happened. We what did
we talk about every day on the show when sports
are coming back? What are we gonna tell when's baseball
coming back to watch? That'll be from Yeah, that's true.
Who had a last dance and then won a championship
in in baseball? We could do a we could just
recap everything that happened in twenty seventeen and twenty two.
Do that. We could probably more on twenty two than seventeen.
We can do this day in Astro's history every day.
Oh that's a that's an easy, peasy one to love
that and then just talk about that for like a
whole half hour. That narrows it down to three and
a half hours. And then Carl Evertt didn't believe in dinosaurs,
and uh, you know, uh, Jeff Kent was an a
hole and so it was Brent Myers. We can do
a hole today and moist and Salu had an interesting
way of keeping his hands firm. Yeah, and Jeff can't
like to ride motorcycles most No, he liked to wash
his truck. Now, Oh that's right. I forgot about that
he was washing his truck. Okay, ten thirty four on

on your part. I don't, and I feel like I
think I need to mute him. I'm telling you, guys,
if you're going to be on Twitter in twenty twenty six,
the mute button is your best friend. So Lou passed away.
And Lou was conservative. Lou was a was a diehard
Catholic and one of the things that Catholics that live
and breathe Catholicism twenty four seven. Is they don't believe
an abortion and that was a reason why that Lou
decided to support the Republican candidate at the time, which
was Trump in twenty twenty. Okay, and let me see
if I it's going down here. It's said, uh to
the rays, so here it is legendary scumbag. Yes, is
what he referred to as Lou Holts three hundred likes,
three and thirty nine retweets, three replies. D of the
Year candidate boom Shock a locke, not even his body cool,
and he's calling him a legendary scumbag. You Keith Oberman
are a legendary scumbag, I rossie. And it hurts me
to say that because the best sports center hurt me
of all, it hurts Mann. Oberman and Patrick were the
bar none best duo in the history of sports center. Oh,
I'm going Stu, Scott and rich eisen Good. The other
one's better and Scott van Pelt is the best of
all of them now and he's solo. But god, it
just was just so I only look for his political opinion.
I don't care about his political pan Let them let
the man pass and have some dignity and just calling
somebody a legendary scum bag as soon as he passes
is just the lowest of the low. It just is,
that's all I say. Okay, all right, So Ari, Peter Liholtz,
I thought I did go Man, I'm disappointing myself. Now
you've you brung me down. I was gonna do it.
I thought it was I thought the go goos would
be a good sneaky way to sneak in A believe

rock folk folk rock Huh, isn't it. I don't know,
let me look it up. I mean, obviously are good
enough to be headlining a rodeo event, right, alt country
and rock, so that's not really rock folk. I was

Speaker 1: You're like, no, okay, okay, time out. You're saying that
five hundred thousand people are coming to see Kelly Clarkson.
Speaker 5: No, I'm just saying it was one of the reasons,
and one of the.
Speaker 1: Reasons five hundred thousand people are coming for spring break.

I'm I'm gonna say folk rock. I was right, country
folk rock, turn up a little bit.
Speaker 2: A band had a band situation.
Speaker 1: Now you need to take seven. Wait, they're not from Canada.
Is getting bag now a lie? Not a really path
Yukon Oklahoma. The lyrics are great, m.
Speaker 2: O.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't hate on this? What this fer time we ever
heard this song? We ever played? This is fine?
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I don't think I go see him a country. This
is a toe tapper. It is not a knee slapper,
but a slapper. It's a toe tapper, not a knee slapper.
You can dance this song with a girl, so absolutely,
John John Whens. The last time you slow dance with
your girl last night. Actually, that is so cute. Where'd
y'all go nowhere? It was just a living room? Oh
my god, is that what you're calling it?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: The sweetest thing I've ever heard is so cute. Your
dad is adorable. You said, honey, let's dance. Yeah, music's
on music? Yeah? Absolutely, You never danced with your lady
in the in the living room. No, he's took it
for me and you know, just puci that's great. Yeah,
I've done that, Matt. You haven't done that. No, okay,
And I mean I wouldn't it said that guy, I
would not do it. But I just have never said, hey,
I got music on, want's to dance? Yeah, you're not
making like meatballs and spaghetti and the song comes on
and you grab your lady and you a little gal,
a little twirl and dance. Well we weren't married, we did, okay,
But that was really good that year. That was really
a precursor, if you will, hips don't work like they
used to. Nothing that we're gonna look at used to.
Thanks for bringing that up. Seven one three two one
two five seven. Nay, I know there are rocket fans
against the hebgb's about playing the Golden State Warriors because
you know last year didn't turn out great. Now, the
Rockets have only played them once so far this year.
He was in San Francisco and the Rockets won that game. ROSSI, yes,
I ain't scared. I would hope that you wouldn't be.
Shimmy Butler's out for the year. Seth Curry a lot
of time. Chris Asporzingis has that illness again, whatever that is.
Oh no, yeah, there's something going on there. Not that
it's not business, but I'm just saying, hmm interesting. Okay,
So I want to pull out the nine man rotation
that they're going to put out there tonight against the Rockets. Now,
I think it's a guaranteed win, but it better be
a debtor. You better win this one game. Yes, Oh,
Seth Curry's out too. Yeah, it's left sciatic nerve irritation.
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Stephen Curry has right putelephemoral pain syndrome. Don't we all here?
It is? Here are the nine guys general illness. It
says for Chris tops Yeah, the Anthony Meltin, Brandon Pat
jamskon Rockets legend, the Anthony Mountain al Horford. He's still
in the league. Yeah, good for him. Score seventeen against
the Clippers. Draymond Green okay, gee Santos what former Rocket
great Nate Williams, Oh wow, Quinton Post, Pat Spencer, Malifi,
Leons and Gary Payton. The second is questionable with a
bad ankle. Okay, this is what Prime Video pays the
big bucks for. I gotta be answered with you. I'm
watching the NBC stuff, I'm watching the ABC in the ESPN.
I don't think I've ever I might have turned on
once or twice, but I don't think I put on
a Prime Video game. I mean I do, but go
through the Rockets a bit here.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Peacock runs hot and cold with me because
I gotta. I get my games. An NBC in the
Peacock game on Tuesdays at ten thirty nine, and I'm
asleep usually, so Rocket's only favored by eight and a half.
Maybe they think Brandon Pajimski is gonna And if you're
going to the game today, by the way, they've got
discounted treats because the games at six thirty ten. Okay, good,
so six thirty tip off, which means five point thirty
for our coverage, yes, six o'clock network pre game, yes,
and six thirty the tip time, which is really six
forty two. So hey, make sure you stay tuned for
the Rockets wrap after the game. Who's hosting me? Okay,
today and tomorrow and Sunday? All right, hear the happy
hour stuff today? If you're going domestic beer, fifty percent off,
this is between five thirty and six thirty. Okay, fifty
percent off soda, fifty percent off popcorn, and fifty percent
off hot dogs. Wow, it's not bad, so almost reasonably
priced soda, hot dogs, and well, I don't know if
you're going to feel that way going to dyke In
this weekend. I heard there jacking up the price. I
heard it wasn't great for the College Classic, that the
stands were shoddily run and the prices were outrageous. Well, again,
if you're gonna get a burger and a margarita at
dyk In, it's forty dollars. Yeah, Now it's absurd. If
you have disposal money and you're doing that because you
want to do it, it's stupid. It's scouging. Well, I mean, yeah,
there's no there's no competition. That's correct. It's always been gouging,
but it's getting worse and worse and worse. So you
either you don't do it, or you just suck it
up and say I'm thirsty, or before and I have
like one beer at the game. I know you get
a little pre game going on. I will be and
I will not be going to mini games early on,
obviously because of my rocket step, but I'll be curious
what the stands look like, because that's that's how you
gauge it. If wa a Burger is sitting there empty,
then they're gonna have to figure that out. Well, but
they won't be because you might have this philosophy, but
you don't that The majority of people that go to
a ball game, I mean I should say majority, but
quite a few just know that you're going to be
spending a lot of money. I mean, Rossie during the
playoffs Wmber, we just talk about how those expensive drinks
far for for preseat for wild card and divisional and championship. Again,
some people drink them, but there's been turnover. It was
shake Shakeshack said it wasn't worth it what a burger
turned over. Pluckers used to be out there, they're not
out there anymore. They are having some rotation. So yeah,
and maybe it's because the rent super high. I'm sure
it is. Yeah. And my guess maybe because the rent
is high, the price that had to be high, I
don't know. Yeah, Well, so we'll see how long it lasts. Yeah,
but I feel like if you were to go with
a chain that probably Rudder Roger would probably be the one.
It would have some last things. But they're probably on
board with you there. They didn't. They didn't take that
spot to lose money. Yeah, they're like, oh, you're telling
me a spot's open out there. People like the Burgers
and and row Rampo is charging five dollars more for
the marks. Yeah, they got to. I mean, I don't
know how sustainable that is, but whatever, just keep gouging
and gouging. See, we'll get my olds is going this
weekend and he'll give me a little report of how
the UKA sessions look. So all right, So we got
Rockets and Warriors six thirty tonight seven o'clock to Portland
Trouble Agers tomorrow, and then we got Sunday night basketball
in San Antonio andinst the Spurs. Is that a second
round playoff preview. I think it is. Don't ask me
how that series goes. Okay, good, I'm gonna let you
I'm gonna let the Rockets beat the Spurs there on
national TV, and you're gonna tell me how, yes, more
optimistic you are today than I mean. Look, it's it's
a day to day. It's like, you know, we overreact
to two losses out of three in a baseball series,
so we overreact to an eighty two game Rocket season
as well. They're the worst team ever against the Heat,
and they were better against the Magic a couple of
days before that. You know, they are seven and three
in their last ten games. But I can guarantee your
Rockets Twitter does not do worst coach ever, Firey Doka idiots.
They're also a game better than they were last year. No,
I don't know people thinking they were gonna be ten
games better than they were a year ago. Well you've
had I know people are tired of this, but it's
a fact. Two major rotational players are out for the year.
M It's a fact. Steven Adams is a huge part
of what the the Rockets want to offensive rebound. That
is a big part of their philosophy to win on
that and they signed the best offensive rebounder like in
the last decade, and he's out for the year and
they need a point guard. He's out for the year.
I mean it matters, it does matter on the floor
for them. And they're still, as you said, a game
ahead of last year and then the third seed in
the in the Western Conference. Yep, all right, a couple
of astro rock Astro moves to discuss in terms of
the roster. Give me the lamp again the day. We've
got astros baseball coming up in less than an hour
right here on Sports Talk Sevenoni also coming up in
about half an hour from now. I just don't get it, Ross,
What don't you get A lot, a lot, a lot

So always feel good about your See that's true. Is
the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. All Right, Ross once
again gaming on erroneous information. This is the second hour
of The Matt Thomas Show. Ross Ross Goden start to apologize.
Guess somebody said Pluckers is still out there. What I'm
thinking of something something to overturn there or something was
there before Pluckers recently? Was it a chicken different chicken
place or a wing place? I can't remember. There's been
turnover out there. I will stand on that, yeah, but
you can't stand on Pluckers. I guess I don't know
it's listed on the website, but so it was shakeshack
so I can't recall. Well, somebody somebody helped me out
tweet me at sports RV. What was there before? There
was here? But you're trying to get some new followers
off of your mistake followers. I'm saying just I'm asking
for information. Okay, Well, somebody called off air and said
pluck you. No, they didn't say that. They didn't say
pluck you didn't they they were rude about it, weren't
they say what they said? I don't care like if
I got something wrong. There's been turnover out Well, thankful
we get nothing wrong here because Shaye wickhams crushing it
for Team Canada. So that's fine. I'm not even worried
about it. Right, we speak well for two hours a day,
sometimes four hours, a day. Oh, don't get everything Canada again.
By the way, I know, I bet that was intentionally.
I said, uh, just want to make sure, make sure
you listen. You know, we had a way to keep
you on your toes. And we tell a lie on
the show, just like call the show. And so we
got caught you you do a lie on purpose? And
then what did we used to that used to happen
in the mornings with uh Mance merline. Oh he did
a bad take. He would lie, he would lie. I
would make something up and then we would play at
band was it guns n' Roses or was it I
would play music from a certain band whenever, and then
a lot too well, that's when we would play the cow.
That was the was the I think I have the
cow somewhere. The name drop cow, Oh here it is?
That sounds good? That was when Lance would name drop
good for him. We were playing it about sixteen times
a show. We would we wouldn't do that on this
radio show. We wouldn't overplay a sound effect. Good time.
I've been bringing up Joe Mixon for like a week now,
I get it like once a week on the show. Now, hey,
come on now, by the way, what's going on with
that Texans inside? I owe you, I think you do.
I owe you because he did not have his foot shatter,
but the bullets I was unsure. I'm still not one
hundred percent sure I'm winning that, but it feels like
I am. No. No, you're getting a coffee in a
Danish of your choice or a reputable coffee. So I
go with a with an almond clisson. By the way,
my daughter, speaking of she's becoming coffee store snob too.
She's done with Rob Rooks. Good that she drives to
a Taska senator to Run Brothers. Wait a second, though,
Oh they're good for me. I just like simple hot coffees.
I don't I don't. I don't get into the fancy. Yeah,
what does she get? She gets the colder the colder stuff.
Is she getting it with like she's getting with like
milk and sugar?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 1: Right, No, she's getting like the tropical drinks kind of thing.
Run Brothers has that. Huh interesting? I don't know, good
for her, and she's like, Dad, I'm done with Rob
See I told you it's mid It's fine. I need
Raw Rocks step up their food game. But they're not
they're never so bad. It's got freezer. It tastes like
freezer brown. I don't do that. I don't go there anymore. Oh,
somebody said Budweiser brew house before Pluckers, but I thought
they still had a I don't know. No, isn't isn't
Pluckers in center field? Yeah, they still. It's not the
Budweiser thing anymore. And then they got the nuns up
there too. No, the nuns only come that's when Jeff
Blum takes together. They're handing them cold Budweisers. I don't
think that's the case at all. Okay, by the way,
I would drive downtown this morning because I was getting
off from the h V lane and they're putting up
a bunch of stuff. It's gonna be a festival type
atmosphere at the ballpark tomorrow night. Awesome. Yeah, Ah, Torchies tacos,
thank you Brandt. That's what it was. So Torches is gone, yeah,
making the mid stuff. Yes, Pluckers is still there. Okay, Oh,
that's Gordy with a Gordy drop by.
Speaker 3: It's Pluckers and it has always been Pluckers that that.
Speaker 1: No, it was Torchies before I think somebody's right. Somebody
else said, no torches was on the second deck. Okay,
second deck. I'm sorry, Well, there's been turnover out there.
It has been plucker since two thousand.
Speaker 3: Shut up, No, not since two thousand, but since they
built that outfield area.
Speaker 1: Okay, don't argue was Gordy about this? I know he's
our he's our astros insider. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And what a burger is is where Shakeshack was?
Speaker 1: Okay? And how and I want reports this weekend? How
long the line is a rudder rugger? Because if you're
in the drive the rudder ugger, you're gonna wait a few.
If you go inside, you're gonna wait a few. Yes,
I ain't got time to wait. They better have it
like a machine up. If you're gonna charge me double
the prices, you might as well be good. There's zero percent,
zero point zero percent chance I go there just for
a rut a rigger as we're calling it. I mean, seriously,
I love me some in and out. I wouldn't gout
to in and out. And I'm not gonna wait like Shakeshack. Oh,
here we go. Shakeshack Burger better than what a burger? Sorry,
I cannot agree a restaurant as a restaurant, Mister Texas
tells you shut up. Mister Texas believes that Rudderberger. Mister Texas,
I am mister Texas. People talking about it all the time. Yeah,
they do it as a joke. The guy at the
Mediterranean Girl Texas. Yeah, it's like when they would call
like a bobcat gold Tow a ladies man or something.
So you're comparing me to that. Although didn't he get
a really hot wife though? Yes, all those comedians got
have hot wives. Okay, meeting turnout so hot, but drugged
a oncohol got to him. But you know, every people
are saying that ironically, you're not, mister Texas. I don't know.
People call me that constantly while I'm on the streets
when I go to the Rockets getting either at least
five they're saying it ironically. Anothery're saying is a tribute. Yeah, okay,
eleven O eight Sports Talk seven a couple of astro
roster moves. It's like when you call it like your
nephew egg, what's that big man? You're just being ironic,

they're going to score ten runs within a week. Does
Gordian to other people call him tell him to shut
his my mess up yesterday? I don't know if he

Nick Allen had a lot of playing time. That's good.
We're gon we're gonna a lot of Nick Allen. I
hope not. I'm just saying he's the backup to the
backup to the is going to have a finger amputation.
He's not getting amputated. As long as he can grip
a bat, he'll be out there. He said he's not
worried about it and he wanted to stay in the game.
And you're you're just looking at pounds all over it
because you're mister anti WBC. No, I can't be w
anti BBC because Jeremy Pinion loves it. So how am

conversation with him. You said, you said Dominican sucks. You
shouldn't play for them and they're the worst.
Speaker 4: No.

I have to respect his opinion. He's the one involved
in it. Yeah. He said when he was a kid
and Alba pooh holes. In the last We're Winning the
WBC interview, he said it was a core memory. Yeah,
normally I do know. I know. I listened to that one.
It was good. I thought they're grinding getting the interviews

we're all great.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Ivon Ivan says, you are, mister tex s Matt, thank
you very much, Ivan for that. Appreciate that very much.
Ivan's a sick human being. No, he's not. He's a
great fellow. I love him. You're not, mister Texas. You're
You're wholly unqualified. I want to San Antonio this weekend,
aren't you? And not even because you weren't born here.
There's a I can think of a hundred reasons before
that I'm gonna be. I know somebody got upset with you.
I know it was ridiculous. I'm gonna be in Santennial
Saturday and Sunday. You're gonna be there. No, because I
travel the state, You're gonna be in santy You're gonna
be there. You're flying for free with the ass with
the rockets. But I'm going to experience the great San
Antonio food and culture. No, you're not. You literally walk
from the bus to the hotel room and then you
eat there, and then you go back to the bus.
You don't explore these cities. You know what. Craig Ackerman
explores cities. You don't know he explores mountains. No, you're
you're you know what. He's not even going this week
Muster five diamond accommodations. Staying in your room. Maybe you
walk out and get a kebab every now and then
and some hummus. You didn't even get the hummus. And
then you get exploited on YouTube. That's why I don't
go out. Shut up, that's not why you don't go out.
I I don't want to be exploited people seeming they go, oh,
that's that's tax the hotel r. Let's get him some
of highest views on his Instagram page. You stay in
the city, you stay in the room watching Judge Judy reruns,
and then you talk about how you're mister Texas. What's
wrong with Jude Judy exactly? I want to hear about this. Yeah,
you you just you just downgraded Judge. Watching Judge Judy
for four hours and morety reruns does it make you
You're not walking about the city. It is an addictive show.
I understand that. Well, then if it wasn't addictive show,
I wouldn't have an issue. But it didn't matter. If
it doesn't matter what the name of the city is,
you just stay in the hotel room. That's because I've
searched all of the area. There's no they're not a
part of the greatest San Antoronio metro area. Oh, every
stone is a turn. I've been the dominion. I've been
about Cone's Heights. I've been to Alamo Heights. I have
been to just naming an air neighborhoods your wife is from.
I've been to Helotis. I've been to Alamo Stadium. I've
been to U t s A Blanco cafe. Yes, no
you haven't. I've been to Jim's Diner. That's a that's
a Central Texas hub. Biscuits and gravy. Oh my god,
this guy. You don't even like biscuits and gravy, biscuits
and side grave. Now if I gave you a plate
of of brisket and Tomali's and enchiladas and guacamole and
with a drink of sweet tea, you don't touch any
of it. You're not mister Texas. I don't drink the
sweet tea exactly. I would not eat the walking one.
I eat everything else. You wouldn't. Well, let's go get
it after her botchy fraud eleven thirteen. It is the
matt see what we're doing here? What or just this
is hey Maths coming in the studio today. You keep this,
I'm not making fun of you. You keep bringing up
that you're mister Texans, no America, and you do it
to irritate me. And so then when I refute you,
then it's my fault. Just accept it. I'm covering up
your misinformation. If you didn't bring it up, I never
call you mister Texas once, so I don't bring it up.
The Texans make a big offensive line higher, Let's go baby. Yeah,
it was so popular that we had to get a
second Uh. I think breaking news sounders. Yeah, well, I
think when you sign a right tackle you need two sounders.
We'll tell you who that is. Is this news right now? No,
they just played it from earlier. Yeah, he's an hour
behind us. He's on the tape. Seven one three two
one two five seven. Daddy to the Houston Cougar basketball team.
They have secured a double by into the Big Twelve Tournament.
This is our Cougar Update, brought to you by our
friends of the Joint Chiropractor. They are the official chiropractor
of University of Houston Athletics. Baylor gave us a run
last night, but the Cougars poured it out in the
second half and took care of the Baylor Bears seventy
seven to sixty four. Cougar's were down by as much
as ten. They were even at the half at thirty five,
but Cougar's outscored the Baylor Bears forty two to thirty nine.
Kinks and Flemings. I'm gonna miss him, he's so good.
They won by thirteen thirteen. Tread was twelve and a
half twenty one points. Em Annual Sharp had nineteen. They
combined to shoot thirteen of twenty six. Sharp was five
of ten from three. Joseph Tugler to not have foul
trouble fourteen point six rebounds, Milos Uzan with twelve as well.
Cougar's are twenty five and five, and again bracketology says
they're going to be headed to the Midwest region, which
I gotta I'm a little nervous about the ticket sales
if Houston Cougars are not in the South finals. Why
are you worried about ticket sales? Just I the Cougars,
the city of Houston has never done a I shouldn't
say there's nobody at these regionals and stuff. You don't
make sure we look bad at unless they're South the
sweet sixteen. It's not the first round. Yeah, it's the regionals.
So now, I did go to the regional finals when
Baylor and Duke were playing each other at the Energy
and many many years ago, okay, before the before they
would let you have a final four, they wanted you
to host a regional final, so they did that in
the big stadium, and you know, Ducal travel well in
some of the folks school as well. But I'm just
you know again, do you you like do you like Joe?
Do you like what? It's not Joe Bernardi, it's this
is Joe Lonardi? Joe Lonardi? Do you like Joelnardie when
he does? But I don't know there there are there
are websites that track the accuracy, and apparently he's not
very good. I mean, I think if you're going to
do that year after year, you have to be good
at that, don't you. Yeah, the guy who's apparently ranked
the best, he had I was only looking for Texas,
so I don't know what anybody else is. He has
a nine. They just got destroyed by Arkansas. Now they're
at a ten. So what do they have? Seed? Right?
They have? Here are the four teams in the top
four of the South Region, which be ours, Yukon, Florida,
Purdue in Virginia. Now you're only trying to fill up
seventeen thousand seeds. But that is there's nobody close stout.
He has the Cougars as the number six overall seed.
Number two in the Midwest, that would be Michigan, Houston, Nebraska,
and Texas Tech in that region. Dang In the West,
he's got Arizona, Illinois, Gonzaga, and Alabama. In the East,
he's got Duke, Michigan State, Iowa State, and Kansas. Last
four byes, he has Texas as a last four by
which means you'd avoid Dayton Sweet The last four in
would be featuring Santa Clair, SMU, Indiana and New Mexico.
First four out VCU, Auburn v Tech in California. Ten
teams he's got going from the SEC to the tournament,
ten Big Ten, eight ACC, eight SEC, three Big East,
three West Coast Conference in two Mountain West. Everybody else
would be a one bid league. I'm fast again. I
brought this up to you a couple of days ago,
not that we have anybody that's maybe we do have
a Miami Red Hawk fan somewhere, but what do you
do with Miami? I mean they are undefeated still, they
are struggling to stay undefeated because that's hard to go undefeated.
It's a one big league according to Leonardi, And if
they don't win it, what do you do. They're gonna
win it. We're not gonna worry about it. It almost
adds more drama if they don't win it. Yeah, I mean,
how early in their tournament do they lose? I guess
they would depend they're gonna make it. I think they
make it. I think they make it too, although so
it probably would behoove them and anybody else that knows
mac leagues to play one or two teams outside of
quad threes. Yeah, they need to figure something out with
that non conference because it was pretty embarrassing. Although if
the tournament expands to seventy eight, it's a mood point.
I mean, they would be easily and it's stupid, so dumb. Yeah, man,
it's just for money. It isn't really even comp I mean,
I'll be curious if we get to seventy eight of
any of those fourteen additional get to the even of
the sweet sixteen round. It's basketball. I know you say
it's for money, but there's also three hundred and fifty
schools that are playing too. It's still still all things considered,
a small amounty. This should be a small invitational tournament
for the best teams in the country who can win
a championship. Now, you and I were not It shouldn't
even be sixty four. Quite frankly, you and I weren't
doing sports when they went to forty eight to sixty four.
To people have the same forever about that. I bet
you they did. It should be like thirty two teams. Oh,
you're not paying billions of dollars for thirty two teams.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: That's why it's bigger because of money. Yeah, dude, is
team number thirty three really say I need a shot
at being national champion? Of course not. No, you do
something to fight for it. Honestly, I mean, sixteen wouldn't
be the craziest thing, and football would go to sixteen
hundred teams and all that. I'm waiting, Can we can
I please win my bets that we're gonna stay at sixteen.
You're there's not a bet, I know, but there's just
a It was a gut feeling, and no, it was
a bad to tell the truth. And literally like the
next day they proposed the twenty fourteen but nobody you
can propose you said. The problem with what you said
is who said never? I think I said thirty years?
So no, you said never? How about before I die?
We'll see. I don't know. Sixteen just sounds a lot better.
I can live a sixteen. I don't even like sixteen.
I'll get the whole byes. I think twelve is where
it should stay. Well, if you go sixteen doing double buys,
just like you're doing in this big twelve conference, st
you think so?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean I think right, I guess. And is that
necessarily a good thing? You want three weeks off in
between games? Well, actually, Warren, because you're think about theyre
gonna be space those things out after week after week.
I mean, who knows? Do teams are they really ready
to play their very best if they've not played in
you know, several weeks. I guess Indiana would say we
had no problem with it. It's it's just for money, Okay, Yeah,
but everything's for money these days. I know you you
honestly Raws and you've said this a lot over our
time together. Every single thing we've talked about in sports
can end with a statement it's for money. That's true,
but that's how we live. Yeah, of course we work
hard for their health. You and I work hard because
we do enjoy our company, but we work for money.
I'm getting paid, and I appreciate these sports I love them.
I appreciate these sports leagues because if they weren't around,
I would not be here having the best job in
the world. Talk to sports. Yeah, following congratulations to Trent
Brown gotting new a one year deal to stay with
the Houston Texans. Seven million dollars. Trent Brown, Houston Texans.
Let's go very It's a very castereo contract. It's perfect.
He's older, he fit in well, played a bubble, was
going to be Yeah. Absolutely, seven million dollars is a
good deal for a for a tackle. He's going to
be at least in the mix. You don't have to
start him. He can be a backup if you draft
a couple. He is a good contingency plan as far
as if you or if you're able to have a
couple of guys you like fallow to the draft, you
can draft them. You don't. You don't have to be like, oh, well,
Trent Brown's blocking these guys. No, you don't have to
feel like that. No, but you can also feel like
He's a good contingency plan. And you need bodies at
this point because you're dropping them by flies, because you're
trading to moving them away from guys. That's true. Titus
Howard out, Okay, Trent Brown back, that's good. I would
like to see them bring ed Ingram back. We'll see
and draft two linemen. There are still people found that
Titus Howard's out here. I kind of get it. I
get it. I mean no, no, I get why Titus
Howard's gone. I'm not happy about it. Same reason I
get you why Laramie Tunzel's gone, but I'm not happy
about it. I think of it is ross. This is
the most important year in Casario's life is a general manager,
and Demiko's life as a coach, and CJ Strado as
a quarterback. Don't you want to put the best possible
fit for all those guys. Yeah. I don't think the
seat is as hot as you think. I could be wrong.
That's fine. The seat. The seat is warm for CJ
for a contract. The seat is not hot for Demiko.
But I think it's hotter for Dick. I think, yeah,
we'll see. I know you said AFC Championship or he's out. Yeah,
I did, and I will. I will take the fall,
and it depends and if they go like seven and ten,
he's out. Oh can you put it this way? If
they go to the divisional playoff again and lose, what
what are Texans fans supposed to feel? It depends on
how it goes. Do you really think so? I think
it's any I think it's a lose. If they lose
twenty eight to zero, yeah, absolutely, go you're gonna tell
me owners or yeah, people aren't gonna be overreactioning. It's
interesting to be seggrebating. You get you lose twenty eight
twenty seven. I don't when you're in the division round.
You've never been to AMC Championship been lose by a
point a thirty pistols. If they're in the divisional round
and they lose like a thirty five to thirty four
shootout or something like that, or or some kind of
crazy close game that goes in overtime, I think that
Casario's back for sure. Okay, if they're out in the
wild card, you're probably right. If they don't make the playoffs,
you're he's out. So it's not crazy at the predictions
you May. I'm not saying yeah. I didn't say okay,
I didn't say you're crazy. You just don't think it's likely.
I think it just I think it depends. Okay, I
think not getting the ANC Championship and it's gonna be like, look,
I got Turtle Town to build, I got to get
a stadium out there. I need I need a taste
of the AFC channel, like I need a taste of
the final one at the nemhen Marcus Cafe. She now
she wants them to make the AFC Championship. I just
don't think they're that to those type of owners who
are going to be we're making the play, We're making
the division rounds. This is not acceptable. It's Super Bowl
or bust for us. Now, as you say that, trying
to get a stadium deal might push them in that direction.
But the min Are family, even Robert C. How many
years did did Gary Kubiak and Rick Smith's day around
through mediocotations team anymore? This is Hannah's team. This is
it's Hannah's team, but it's it's kind of the same
philosophy of we're just here to make some money. We
don't really necessarily care about winning super Bowl. We're not
going to go all into super Bowls. They're not Jerry
jonesing this. They're not Rooney family like the Rooney family
or Bob Kraft. What are they? Then they're the guys
who like to sit around, I don't know, and then
just make money. They're printing money.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I used to argue with people all
the time, how bad did the Texans want to win? Yeah?
And on the one to ten scale, And this is
obviously just something that we've out of my ass on
this one. Yeah, I mean about a six somewhere around there.
And do you ask if you ask him, hey, hey, hey,
cal you want to win a Super Bowl? I want
to tell you Yeah. He thinks he's a ten. But
but what you think and what you do by your
actions are different things. Mm hmm, Okay, I get it.
But he's probably thinking, oh my Manute, I've locked up Stingley,
I've I'm gonna lock up Wi Landers. So what else
can I do? And I think when you repeat yourself
over and over and over again, you have to kind
of shift things around. Yeah, and that maybe makes you ten. Yeah,
I think Nick is it's gonna be here, okay for
at least a couple more years. Uh, what don't you
get in life? Sports? RV? Things? I guess something that
I don't get in life. In the hotel's scene of
twenty twenty six, there's something in line in your life
you just don't get. We are here to be responsible
for you. We got Astros baseball coming up in twenty
five minutes, so this is our time for a Thursday
staple to say, what don't you get? Seven one three
two one two five seven ninety seven one three two
one two five seven ninety Ross Matt Jonathan, what don't
you get? We'll hear from you next here on seven
ninety Here we go, and I just don't get it.
And I'm gonna start with the last two two hotels
I've been in. Actually it's not true. Two of the
last four or five hotels i've been in. One of
them was with you. Really it's twenty twenty six. The
hotel we had in West Palm Beach, the hotel that
I had most recently Washington, d C. Had a phone
in the bathroom. Okay, not to get into two graphic
the tail, but bathrooms with phones. I just don't get
it are people using these? Okay, so if you get
on that phone, you're on the horn while you're on
probably talking to somebody in the front office downstairs. Right, yeah, yeah,
maybe if you're like older people, you get in an
emergency situation, you fall in, you can't get up, you
need the phone nearby. I don't know. I don't get it.
I don't get it. Do you hit zero to say
I'm stuck or I'm hurt or I fallen? But we
had two Rando hotels with phones in our bathroom. I
just don't get it. Hmm, I don't know. Don't you
typically take your phone with you to the bathroom anyway
if you're gonna sit for a yeah, always gentlemens and YouTube. Yeah,
so your legs get dumb and you're like, all right,
it's time to go. Yeah, Charlie, do you get it?
Phonees in bathroom?
Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever seen a phone in the bathroom. Okay, Well, thee's.
Speaker 1: Five dim and joints. Maybe these these are built years ago.
I mean, I've never ordered room service in the bathroom, man,
I guess I could. Please don't now. Some of some
of these hotels I'm in have nice televisions that are
in the end of the mirror, which is really cool.
You can take a shower and you can watch your TV.
Uh you know what, stay off the TV for five minutes, Well,
you're in there for thirty, so it's in there for
thirty Yeah, for sure, I can watch a whole episode
of my favorite I don't get you in the shower
for thirty minutes. You're not paying for it, So what
am I worried about? Water bill goes up, so be
it terrible. We're supposed to conserve matt for our fellow man.
I can serve at home. I don't conserve on the road.
Those prices you gotta you gotta use the water. You're
not paying anything. The rockets are Yeah it man, it's
like a good value. And tell me wants you to
use all the water? Yeah, that's good value. They're going
to raise the right because of it. We steal the
slippers that Thomas the Room nineteen thirty seven used three
gallons of water. Gotta charge him more? What the hell
is he doing in there? All right? Uh? Ross, what
don't you get a couple things? You know that this
happened to me on the flight back from Fort Lauderdale.
And then now I see this a big story. It's
causing issues with Southwest. The guy who's in row twenty
on the plane who puts his bag on row eight.
Why do people do that because they're afraid when they
get to the back there's even I don't get it,
but there's nobody back there. They put you in groups,
so group one is in the row one through eight,
so if you get back, there's not going to be
anybody there. I would not get that either. I don't
get why the guy who wants to use the overhead
bin is in row twenty seven and he puts his
stuff in row eight. Then when people who get there
a little bit later or whatever, they've got no room.
This is everything up. It's causing friction apparently on these
Southwest flights because people aren't used to not having assigned
seats correct. And that happened to me. By the way,
this old lady thought I was trying to get the
one that was coughing all over me. Thought I was
trying to take the middle seat, and she moved to
my windows seat, my assigned windows seat. I don't I
don't get what these people are doing. I don't get
it either. Also, by the way, speaking of the airline industry,
did you know that finally United had to come out
and say, if you don't have your earphones on, we're
gonna kick you off the plane. There were people listening
and having phone calls with using their speaker phones. That
happened to me. There was a guy next or he's
actually the row behind me. He was blasting YouTube and
the lady had that. The the flight attendant had to
come talk to him like, sir, you have to turn
that down. You have to turn that off. You need earphones.
Would you like me to provide you earphones? And then,
of course, in their infinite wisdom, Apple got rid of
the the the adapter for what Jack and Well, they
said it was so they could have more space, but
it's really so they can charge you for their little down. Yeah,
they can charge you. Yeah. So they're like, oh, we
need more space for all this great memory we're giving
you guys. Now you just want to charge for for
adapters so people can't plug in their they don't have
a headphone. Jack. But United had to come out yesterday Jack,
you know I had to come out yesterday and say,
listen to you Broni's put your damn your headphones on,
because nobody wants to hear your conversation. No one wants
to hear your what you're listening to. Have courtesy for
your fellow man. Don't cough on me. I don't want
to hear conversations. I don't want to hear your YouTube.
I don't want to hear how many points you're racking
up on candy crush. Couldn't said it better myself, Jonathan,
What don't you get? Uh?
Speaker 5: I don't understand when you go to like, uh, you're
on a road trip and you go to like a
gas station or you go to this truck stop, why
they have these concession like or these what do.
Speaker 1: You call it?
Speaker 5: You put quarters in for some rubbers and they're like
this flavors on the wall.
Speaker 1: I have some Spanish fly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't understand who's actually buying, who's putting there?
Speaker 1: At least I need something right now, like I don't.
I just don't understand that. I don't get that at all.
That's from the olden days. That used to be a
lot there used to be everywhere back in the day. Jonathan.
Why why we trust that? Because sometimes I mean you
people used to have quarters on them, and you know,
you meet up a nice lady. Now this used to
be in bars too. I don't know. I guess the
convenience stores. It doesn't Okay, hold on, let's go back
a little bit. You said flavors of condoms. They have
like different things. You ever see the reading with butterscotch?
Speaker 5: Yeah, wild western, you know, like some some stupid I don't.
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. It's just from the old days.
Those are condoms that are thirty five years old, Jonathan.
I know I wouldn't buy thirty five year own condoms.
It's probably not very reliable. No, just just go down
the middle of the aisle at your favorite connvenience store.
They'll have plenty for you there. Yeah. This one's made
out of pigs bladder from eighteen thirty six, and apparently
they're extra rib for her pleasure. Yeah, you can buy
the variety studded. Oh that don't seemed painful, all right?
Moving on, by the way, North of fifty nine says
the most likely the room is for eighty A requirements. Hmmm.
I don't necessarily believe it, because there are some EIGHTA
hotel rooms in every hotel you have to have them,
but these I've never sent in an Ada hotel. Maybe
it's a courtesy for people who are wheelchair bound. Yeah,
I mean it's not territ don't know, but it's just
weird that I guess. Yeah, I get it. It's you know,
what's insun into the line of security. If you do
happen to fall in the bathroom, which people do fall,
it does get you there. It was just weird that
we were in the two hotels that had phones in it.
So that's a good point by north of fifty nine.
Thank you very much for that. Thank you. All Right,
Brian and Michael, you've got two things you just don't get.
We'll find out what those are. Plus, I got a
very fast story to get you. We got to do
very fast, very fast. Pimpen an't easy. It's I got
two calls and a pimpen an easy story. You're a
big daddy king guy. No, I'm just saying it's not easy,
especially your college coach. All Right, we got five minutes.
I've got to get two fast phone calls in here,
Michael and Spring. What don't you.
Speaker 4: Get, man, it's a couple of quick, quick ones here
if I don't understand people who don't listen to red
dirt bands like Cross Canadian ragweed Man. The name the
name comes from the Grady Cross, Cody Canada, Randy Ragzil,
Matt Weedman, the band members, that's where it comes from.
Oh the way, they're phenomenal. If you haven't seen them,
they're awesome. So here's the thing. Maybe you guys can
help me out. Because Ross is a longhorn. You're a cougar.
Myself a cougar as well, my wife a longhorn as well.
My son has decided to go to Texas A and M.
Great school. It's been phenomenal, great experience.
Speaker 1: But I don't understand the hate.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: Where's all the hate come from?
Speaker 1: Like all their stuff with the.
Speaker 4: Horns down and stuff like that. Help me understand, because
everything's cool about it except for the hate man. I
don't quite get that.
Speaker 1: Thanks Michael for the phone call. I don't mind the hate.
You you're supposed to hate your rivals, I know, brother,
So I don't get the core stuff. The court at
the court, excuse me, the yell leaders, they're stupid. Sorry.
I love everything about A and M except the ell leaders.
They're ridiculous and they're embarrassing. It's a little brother syndrome. Okay,
I can't answer that, but they are the defending women
volleyball National Championships. They're on the fringe for the tournament,
although they're probably fringy like a Houston. I think they
should be in. Okay, Texas did beat them over the weekend. Yeah,
but they beat Texas and Austin. Yeah. I don't mind
the hate as long as it's not mean hate. But
it's just, you know, it's running jokes. Yeah, but the
LL leaders are stupid. I said it. I'm sorry. Okay,
let's go to Brian in Paarland. Brian, what's what don't
you get? Brian? Brian?
Speaker 4: First of all, the first time I ever saw I.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm here, go ahead, Hey guys. Yeah, No, first
time I ever saw a telephoned about them was at
a revelry in Austin, right off of.
Speaker 1: Like thirty five and two ninety area.
Speaker 2: That's the first time I ever saw one. They're okay,
but I was listening to most of Monday showing I
may have missed a little bit of it, and I
was very surprised to hear very little about Texas Independence
Day from mister Texas. I heard nothing of the story
about how we got got here. I did not hear
the Texas ports of allegiance. I heard nothing about God
bless Texas. You know, for somebody being mister Texas, you
would have thought that would have been a bigger conversation
for Monday.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, We're a sports show, and and
we're a sports show, and we don't spend a lot
of time talking about history. Interesting, this is it is
what it is. I'm here to talk sports in life.
I mean, I can give you Texas independence lesson, but
this would bore the hell out of you. They wanted
to keep their slaves and they started rebelling. Did you
forget forget what I never forget about Texas important base?
Speaker 5: I got bro, this is not Miss Texas, guys, it is.
Speaker 1: And the Sooner, the Sooners, both of you. Jabroni's understand.
They they're gonna they're gonna give me a plaque somewhere
throughout the seat of Texas, different spots. Nobody know. They
aren't they are. They're gonna name you know, they're gonna
name I ten Western Houston, San Antonio, the Thomas Expressway.
I'm on the streets so much. Get your ass out
of state. No, all right, really quick for out cal state.
Bakersfield is last in the whack. Okay, not because well,
because their team sucks, but they're also the eaven assistant
coach who has been out of work since late August,
when Rod Barnes, or head coach, opened up an anonymous
email from tipster who alleged that Barnes temporary assistant coach
by the name of Kevin Mays, was also working as
a pimp across four states. What other lawsuits, internal investigations, dismissals,
and finger pointing have only served a deep in the
department's sense of crisis. May's currently being held with out
bail has a hefty rap sheet of eleven criminal misdemeanor charges,
including felonies such as pimping. He's also trying act. He
was also charged with possession of automatic firearms and high
capacity magazines, possession of metha and phenamine, and marijuana with
intent to sail. Separate charge is also having sighting possession
more than six hundred images of youth of child pornography
involving someone eighteen years old. She's a maze as A
pleaded not guilty in all charges. But you, I mean,
if you're you can't be a basketball coach in pimp
At the same time, it's just too much work. That
seems like, I mean, he's passed across four states. Say
your time in the day pimping and easy, Matt, That's
what I said earlier. Got what this guy and he's
a former cal State Bakersfield basketball player. The coach felt
bad form said, let me get you a job, and
he's gonna he's running drum. He's running drugs and girls
and girl. It's just not the way into the show.
But I just want I just saw the story, like
we know. Time to thanks Matt. Now, you know, hey,
uplifting news Tomorrow. We need some good news from Jeremy Pania.
Will we get it. He's gonna be fine. You promise
he wanted to stay in the game. Well, you know what,
he didn't need his fingertip. We just could cut it
off like Ronnie a Lot did back in the day.
Maybe he will all right back with you. Oh for
Rockets basketball tonight six point thirty against the Warriors. I'll
be on the call for that. Listen to the Rockets
rap after the game. You don't have to up next
