00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:10,080

00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,199
edition The Matt Thomas Show with Ross. The gang is

00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,160
we celebrate Christmas, and for any of you happy early holidays.

6
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:29,320
We will not play the Christmas music here on the

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,359
show because that's a tried and true formula of the

8
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:34,359
Matt Thomas Show. Ross, we only play it on December

9
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:38,840
twenty four, not true, played it yesterday. So when Matt's away,

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,000
the Christmas music will play. Yeah, yeah, how hard the

11
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,880
hell are you? I'm doing great, Matt, And I'm sorry

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,799
to say this to you this early on in the show,

13
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:50,359
but can we just do a quick refresh on the

14
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:53,560
connection with Matt. I will talk until you get back.

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,039
How does that sound all right? Fine? Okay? So Matt

16
00:00:57,079 --> 00:01:00,000
Thomas is out in Los Angeles with the Houston Rockets.

17
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,280
They will be playing the Los Angeles Clippers tonight. Then

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,200
of course they have a big tilt with the Los

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,959
Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day. Matt Thomas will be working.

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,480
I will be doing the pre and post game show.

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,319
Of course, make sure you catch it. Right here at

22
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:17,079
Sports Talk seven ninety. I just keep talking. I guess

23
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:19,040
that's fine. How you doing, Matt? How about me?

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:19,719
Speaker 2: Is it better?

25
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: It's better? A little hold on, I'm gonna it's errorble. Okay.

26
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:28,840
We got a real talk at teno too. It's kind

27
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,000
of arable, But I don't know. We should try to

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,840
figure a solution when we hit break well, I mean

29
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:35,879
I've got on the wired connection with the hotel. I

30
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:37,680
can get off of that and go the non wired Yeah,

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,560
I don't know, maybe we can do that. I'm gonna

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,480
be here out a really nice hotel. Okay, So Matt

33
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:46,079
Tom's gonna be back in two minutes now. So all right,

34
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:49,599
so we're having some technical difficulties out there in Los Angeles.

35
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:52,959
What do you think, Jonathan Aam wasn't there. I think

36
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:54,719
we need to do We might as well get out

37
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:56,359
the way now. He had to rip the band aid

38
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:59,280
off sometimes three minutes into the show, when the co

39
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,239
host is extremely prepared for the Matt Thomas part of

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,519
the Matt Thomas Show to be out of a connection.

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,159
But that's okay. This is how it goes when we're

42
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,759
on the road and when we have some technical difficulties

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,319
any who. Phone lines are open seven one three two

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,680

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,960
in a seven to one to three two one two

46
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,439
five seven ninety. We've got gut feelings coming up at

47
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:26,120
eleven thirty. We can rehash the ones from last week.

48
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:29,280
I hadn't check. I actually brought up the archives earlier.

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,280
I didn't. I brought up the page, but I didn't

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,960
read what I had a couple of weeks ago. So

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560
I was out last week on vacation. So we'll catch

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,240
up on some gut feelings come up at eleven thirty.

53
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,680
Of course, we have the news at noon as well.

54
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,479
We were going to get the Chargers side of the

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,759
Texans versus the Chargers game coming up. Now. I thought

56
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:55,360
yesterday I heard Chris Gordy say that if the Colts lost,

57
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:58,400
which they did, that the Texans would have clinched inn

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,319
AFC playoff spot. And then of course I bring up

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,759
the standings. I must have missed something, or maybe something

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,879
else happened or I heard wrong. So the Texans at

61
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,560
the moment have not fully clinched a playoff spot. They're

62
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,800
in the seventh spot and they basically just need to

63
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,400
win one of their last two games, or if they

64
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,400
have the Colts lose one of their last two games.

65
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:22,199
And oh, by the way, the Texans are playing the

66
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:24,759
Colts the last week of the season. So if the

67
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,159
Colts lose to the Jaguars next week, which they probably will,

68
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,639
then the Texans are gonna be in. Because this super

69
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:35,680
difficult AFC that we talked about all season, how it

70
00:03:35,759 --> 00:03:38,360
was gonna be, Oh, it's gonna be a it's gonna

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,479
be a tight race. What's gonna happen? Well, Ravens out,

72
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,719
Chiefs out, Dolphins didn't do good enough. Bengals of course,

73
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:48,840
had to trot out Joe Flacco and Jake Browning for

74
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:51,240
too long, and when Joe Burrow came back, and oh,

75
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,759
by the way, they had a horrible defense, so they

76
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,000
were never good enough. So four of those teams that

77
00:03:56,039 --> 00:03:59,280
we thought were gonna possibly be AFC playoff contenders they

78
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:01,840
just fell by the way side. So Texans are in

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,479
right now as the seventh seed. I don't know what

80
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,159
their playoff percentages are, but it's got to be like

81
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:11,400
ninety nine percent. It's probably gonna be very likely. I

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,840
think I hear some activity from Matthew how are you.

83
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:17,160
I'm doing great, Matt. This sounds better. Okay, good, Yes,

84
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,639
you got them out of the submarine. Yeah, high end hotel,

85
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:25,759
Internet sucks. Huh what Maddy pays for on the side works. Well,

86
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:28,240
we're great. Well, it sounds a lot better and we're

87
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,160
ready to go. Matt. So, Yeah, as I was just

88
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:32,959
saying the Colts losing yesterday, I thought it was going

89
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,519
to clench them a spot. We got to talk about

90
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,000
a number of things about that. We'll get the Philip

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,959
rivers in a second, but Texans basically going to clench

92
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,959
a playoff spot as soon as the Colts lose to

93
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,279
the Jaguars next week or they beat the Colts themselves.

94
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

95
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,959
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we have asked for Steve Kornaki,

96
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,399
noted NFL numbers cruncher, to help us, and we'll play

97
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:56,639
that for you the next segment of the show. Okay, great.

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,519
Do you even know who Steve Karnaky is? I don't.

99
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,120
Is that the a guy that does the does the

100
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,360
like the election coverage? Yeah, he works for NBC. He

101
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,319
rolls up his sleeves, he run literally on a big

102
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,600
screen and points to a bunch of stuff that's kind

103
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,439
of Yeah, frankly obvious. They're like, we got to use

104
00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:17,959
this guy. We got to try this guy out more

105
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
than once every four years. Correct, we're paying him a salary.

106
00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:26,160
Let's go where he basically he did a Texans can

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,480
be the number one seed bit yesterday, m hm, And

108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,160
so we're gonna play that frea coming back. Here's the thing.

109
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,120
He can either the Texans can either make the playoffs,

110
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:39,439
not make the playoffs, or be the number one seed.

111
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,000
That's how crazy things are gonna be the next two weeks. Yeah,

112
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,319
well they're gonna make the playoffs. Okay, let's get to

113
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:48,040
big Philly Rivers by the way, man, I mean, I

114
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,000
give him mad props. And for those of you who

115
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,639
didn't see the game, which I'm gonna assume is nine

116
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,199
to nine percent of you, will give you a recap

117
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,000
the Niners Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle and brought and

118
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:01,920
rock party outstanding. I mean, there was nothing that the

119
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,399
Colts offense could do to stay mono a mono. They

120
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:07,560
tried to with the Niners, but it was unsuccessful. Five

121
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:11,160
touchdowns for brock Pery touchdowns, which Phil's you're waiting for

122
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:13,920
if you had Brock printing in your fantasy playoffs. Thank

123
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:15,879
you were waiting for that. Oh my wow. I had

124
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,600
him all season when he was hurt, and so then

125
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,120
I didn't make the playoffs. So thanks Brock.

126
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

127
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: By the way, are you rooting for the Toros to

128
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,120
win the championship? I am rooting for the Toros to

129
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,079
win the championship, and they've already won in my mind,

130
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,360
Congratulations to the twenty and twenty five Houston Toros. I

131
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,720
heart Houston League champions. I am a slight dog in

132
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,240
the game. Slight. Oh now you're you got the better squad,

133
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:39,879
You're gonna win in my mind? Well, thank you. Okay,

134
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,399
So back to the game last night. So the Niners

135
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:46,759
are scoring with regularity and Philly is trying his best.

136
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:48,560
I mean, I don't know what if you how much

137
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,240
of the game you saw yesterday, Rossie, But the ball

138
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,800
does not come out with the crispness of say, I

139
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,920
don't know somebody half his age. Somebody said it looked

140
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,399
like he's tossing pizzas, and I thought that was a

141
00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:04,519
really good description. He tossing up No, he's meat balls

142
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,160
up there. Yeah, he threw a bomb. I want to

143
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,720
say it was early third quarter, might have been a

144
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:16,160
hangtime to it. Yeah, and you know what, I actually

145
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,639
want to have a bigger philosophical discussion about this. Okay,

146
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:22,720
but by the way, the game ended on a pick six. Yeah,

147
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,399
seventy five yard pick six by a middle linebacker. Does

148
00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:29,360
this devalue the quarterback position in your mind? Or does

149
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:31,439
this just mean Philip Rivers is just an all time

150
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:34,319
great needs a waltz into the Hall of Fame. Actually,

151
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:39,240
go ahead. What it does is it pushes the agenda

152
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,839
you've been trying to push on this show for about

153
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:44,399
the last month. When it concerns a number seven for

154
00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:48,160
the Houston Texans. He doesn't have to be that good.

155
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,199
If you got something good, yeah, you have better damn

156
00:07:52,240 --> 00:08:02,160
pay him. Because the discrepancy between being a good, above

157
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:06,199
average elite Hall of Fame to being a guy that

158
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:08,639
would be throwing pizzas at your local pizzeria down the

159
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:12,519
corner his significant. There's almost no level of mid It's

160
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,600
either you are leading a team of the playoffs or

161
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,240
you should be sacking groceries and delivering for door dash.

162
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,279
I don't know. Philip Rivers looked pretty. He came off

163
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:23,480
the street at age forty four. I think, to me,

164
00:08:23,639 --> 00:08:27,959
almost it almost devalues the quarterback position. It makes me

165
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,680
strengthen my opinion that Jerry Rice is the greatest football

166
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,559
player of all time and not Tom Brady. I didn't

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,679
think of it that way. I could certainly understand how

168
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,840
you would. Yeah, all I would say is that Philip

169
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:42,720
Rivers is proving why he is a Hall of Fame quarterback. True,

170
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:45,600
that he was so good back when he when he

171
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,039
could throw the football, that he's coming back at like

172
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,960
forty percent and he's still throwing touchdowns. Yeah, it's it's

173
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,039
it's crazy, and it's it was fun to watch, and

174
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,440
it's been must watch TV. And he's been he's been

175
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,600
pretty solid. There's been worse, trust me. Oh, we've seen worse,

176
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:09,919
for sure. We've seen dani Or Lobsky throws an active

177
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,120
NFL player. We saw Broncos water. Hey, come on, TJ. Yates.

178
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:19,279
Brock is doing good on TV now, he's fine. Yeah,

179
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,080
but we've seen it. Trust me. We've seen some nastiness

180
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:28,919
out there, some nastiness. Nastiness like who is the worst

181
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,240
quarterback you've ever seen play in a meaningful game? Uh?

182
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,480
That guy for the Kansas City Chiefs show the weekend

183
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:40,480
old no, no, whoever came in after he ripped his ac.

184
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,559
Oh the apparently it's not a rich al but hurt

185
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,320
his knee. Oh, that's a good question. That's that's it's

186
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,919
kind of an open end of when there's probably five

187
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,080
million answers to it. I'm gonna say, Doshaun Watson when

188
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,360
he was having his downfall was up there. Oh how

189
00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:00,159
about the guy Malik Willis. Yes, I knew it's you're

190
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,519
gonna say, but he was actually big Willis. He was

191
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,120
decent for the Packers when Jordan Love went down. Okay,

192
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:12,799
the crescendo of his life was decent. Chris oladokun Malik

193
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:17,960
Wallace as a Tennessee Titan. I mean, he'd have been better, sir,

194
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,759
throwing with his other arm. That doesn't even I've got

195
00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:22,279
the answer for you, even though I don't know. Are

196
00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:30,120
we keeping this NFL case McCoy. Oh, how about like

197
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:32,919
Zach Mettenberg. If his name was Kesey Douglas, he would

198
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:35,919
have been playing in the Sun Belt. If that, yeah,

199
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,000
I mean any LSU quarterback hey not named Joe is

200
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:44,200
Gordy even there today? Maddy Mock was pretty good. By

201
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,000
the way, is there anybody in the office today, Yes,

202
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,879
Gordy's up here because he was Gordy's filling in. He

203
00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:51,200
filled in yesterday. I think he's gonna be on the

204
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,559
A team either today or tomorrow. My goodness. Yeah, oh

205
00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:01,480
well then maybe it's today. Yeah. A team's not working tomorrow,

206
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,159
then now he's gonna be working the mart. Oh do

207
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,200
we have a show? Yes we do. We have full

208
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,840
four hours? Correct? And how many minutes are the A

209
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:15,279
Team on? Zero? Okay? Why uh? Merry Christmas to all

210
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,000
and to all a good night except us. Screw you guys.

211
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,559
That's fine. You know what, We're gonna be here for

212
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,559
you folks on Christmas Eve. We got Roto on Wednesday.

213
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,159
We're gonna be Christmas Eve. Roto Christmas Eve. Roto can

214
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:29,879
To be wearing a Santa hat. I don't know. That's

215
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:31,519
kind of up to him. We've never done a video

216
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,960
call with Roto before, you know, it's funny. I have

217
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,399
never met Roto in my life first face to face.

218
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,519
I've seen videos on his Twitter he does uh, I

219
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,840
watched some of his DFS content. Yeah, I've actually met

220
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,159
his son before his son goes to Rice what. Yeah,

221
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,000
he's got a genius son, correct, I mean he is

222
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,480
doctor Roto. That makes sense. Yeah? All right. On the

00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:40,799
on the radio show, we have coming up at eleven

238
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:43,200
o'clock on Chris Heyry. You joined us from CBSLA. He

239
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,399
is a big time Chargers beat reporter for that TV station.

240
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,399
We'll talk to him about the Chargers Texans game, which

241
00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:51,159
is on Saturday. By the way, is that gonna be

242
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,840
a great way to open up this Saturday, three point

243
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,000
thirty Texans versus Chargers in LA and FL network and

244
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:59,159
I think Chune eleven's going to broadcast the game locally

245
00:12:59,159 --> 00:13:02,559
in town and then what's under the Rockets play? They

246
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,320
played at seven o'clock against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Okay, grin

247
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:07,840
at eight point fifteen. That same night we got the

248
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:11,159
Texans or got the Houston Cougar's taken on LSU. Oh

249
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,759
that's true. So we got a busy Saturday and we

250
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:16,639
will talk to Willie Fritz at one thirty. This chap

251
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:22,840
didon looking forward to busy with him and the Seasoning Bowl. Uh, yeah,

252
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,080
I'm calling it just a Texas Bowl. I think Seasoning

253
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,399
Bowl sounds fun. I'm going to keep with that. By

254
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,759
the way, is it when's a pop Tart Bowl? We've

255
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:31,320
seen it? Yeah, it's like, no, I haven't seen it.

256
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,240
Who those people are that marketed? That their genius? Yeah

257
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,759
they are, but they're running into a problem where they

258
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:40,480
can't to keep topping themselves year after year, like somebody

259
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,200
at some point is going to put themselves in a

260
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:46,159
toaster in front. Yeah exactly, all right, gut feelings at

261
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:49,440
eleven thirty. Today we have nfl Rewind with Ross at

262
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,360
one twenty, Willie Fritz at one thirty, and believe it

263
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:55,360
or not today at one fifty. Now, look, you guys

264
00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:57,399
are controlling music back in Houston. So if you want

265
00:13:57,399 --> 00:13:59,480
to play some Christmas music I can get I can

266
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,240
live with that. Okay, Well you said Christmas Eve only,

267
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:05,440
so I mean, and we also have a small conundrum

268
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,480
here in Los Angeles. I'll explain what's going on here

269
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,039
in LA that's really flipping people out. Nothing to do

270
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,960
with the Clippers bad performances, or the Lakers inconsistency or

271
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,759
the rams of the Chargers. It has to do with

272
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,159
mother Nature. Ten fifteen of the Matt Tom Michiel Ross.

273
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:26,519
I'm here in La Ross back in Houston on Sports

274

278
00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:45,840
want to chime in, you're right at the internet at

279
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,240
this hotel, and we're at a I mean ridiculously nice hotel.

280
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,159
Oh lord, I cannot get him buying a VPN, which

281
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,559
is not fun. But that's a different issue for a

282
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,679
different time. All right, So here's the issue we got here.

283
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,519
How much are the pancakes? I don't want to get

284
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:04,399
into that. Okay, you're in Beverly Hills, correct, Correct, that's

285
00:15:04,519 --> 00:15:08,240
nice Beverly Hills. Matt. I like that. You know what,

286
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,919
you can call me mister nine O two one. Oh's

287
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,200
what you can call me. By the way, those who

288
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,519
would like to always ask how the gas prices are?

289
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:19,159
Is we got in at about two o'clock in the

290
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,320
morning Pacific time, a day and a half ago. I

291
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,559
think it's what it was. Yeah, it was five sixty

292
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:29,080
seven front leaded. Say go it five dollars and sixty

293
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,639
seven cents. Okay, now that's Beverly Hills. Great, my gases.

294
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:36,200
If I was to get on the four or five

295
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:38,440
or the one o one, you know the major interfers here,

296
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,840
they'd be it'd be in the high fours. I paid

297
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,600
two twenty nine on the on the way back to Dallas.

298
00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:48,200
From Dallas, that's actually not bad, insane. I was very happy.

299
00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:50,399
Can I tell you your little secret cause I love y'all.

300
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:52,759
Like fam Okay, you know where the cheapest gases in Houston,

301
00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:58,399
Green's Point, King's Point, Kingwood, Texas. Oh, Kingwood, Texas? Is

302
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,519
that true? Kingwood, Texas. I'll take your word for it.

303
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,600
I'm oh, hell yeah. I pay about two dollars and

304
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,879
fifteen cents a gallon. I know where the most expensive is.

305
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,279
I know where it is too. They should be shot man,

306
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,279
Flip samfully pin six ten. Are you thinking the same one?

307
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,440
I am. You're right. So here's the thing. You go

308
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:19,440
to the target over there, and you're in a really

309
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,759
good mood. After you leave, okay, you get the blood flowing.

310
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:24,639
The blood is blowing, Oh my god, and you're like,

311
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,600
oh man, that was so good to see all those

312
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:29,960
hot river Oaks women at the target. Oh darn, I'm

313
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,840
out of gas. I bet I go get me some gas.

314
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,720
I fill up here. I got an electure time after

315
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:35,840
enjoying my experience at Target, and then I've gotta pay,

316
00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:37,759
Like what is it now? I think I saw the

317
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,840
other day at three ninety nine something like that. I

318
00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:41,320
don't know what it is now. I don't even read it.

319
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,320
I don't even go there. And you're right. They make

320
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:46,200
me physically angry. They jack up the price so much.

321
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,639
I want to go in there and just yell at them, saying,

322
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:51,559
you guys are greedy bastards. I mean, I understand, like

323
00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:54,159
Memorial Drive when I leave the office to go to

324
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:56,639
the Totis and I take Memorial down downtown, and it's

325
00:16:56,679 --> 00:17:00,399
expensive on that, but it's like two eighty nine, two ninety. Hey,

326
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,159
look when in Rome you have to go, you know,

327
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,400
get what the expensive folks can pay. But that that

328
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,519
Exxon right there should be ashamed and they should be

329
00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:10,000
a shamed themselves for what I don't know, fifteen years

330
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:14,960
or so. Straight. Yeah, and every time I drive by it,

331
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:18,720
I want to roll my window down inscremming people. Suckers, suckers.

332
00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:21,880
But my guess is the people that go to that

333
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,640
particular Exxon, it's either they're on a company at card

334
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,440
and they don't really care how much it cost, or

335
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:30,319
they can afford it and just don't care. I've I've

336
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,839
used it maybe once or twice, literally like down to

337
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,160
zero point. Zer're like about to run out of gas,

338
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,279
so I put like a gallon or two in there. Yeah,

339
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,559
so I've done that gas station. That's exactly right, all right.

340
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,400
So here's the here's the conundrum that Southern Californians are

341
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,799
going what do they call it? Los What are your from? LA?

342
00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:52,799
What do you call Los Angelinos? Los Angelinos? We're coming

343
00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:55,319
here one time this year, and don't ask me. I'm

344
00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:57,640
not a big fan of the NBA scheduling. So we're

345
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,799
playing the Clippers tonight and then the Lakers on Christmas

346
00:17:59,839 --> 00:18:01,519
Day and then leaving and then we're done with LA

347
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,960
until you know, maybe the playoffs find up for the Clippers,

348
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,519
but could be for the Lakers for sure. This is

349
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:09,039
one of my favorite trips of the year because I

350
00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:12,920
love LA. They're expecting significant amount of rain between now

351
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,039
and the end of Thursday. I heard you were getting

352
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:20,519
seven inches, Matt. It has been amended. We're getting seven

353
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:25,920
point one inches. Oh wow, Elextra, just in case you

354
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:32,119
need that extra tenth of an inch. So people are

355
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,400
flipping the f out here. Let me ask you this, if,

356
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,359
and maybe because we have gotten a lot of rain

357
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,039
in seven inches over three days, is that gonna would

358
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:45,839
that crush us? I guess the answer would be yes,

359
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,799
right three days?

360
00:18:46,839 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 3: No?

361
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: Oh, in one day? Yes, But they're not no. This

362
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,960
is between they're saying Tuesday noon, which would be the

363
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:54,759
end of our show. Town they got to relax. That

364
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:56,200
happened to me when I told you I went to

365
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:58,720
LA for vacation a couple of months ago. Yeah, and

366
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:01,200
they were acting like it was They had the people

367
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,799
literally out in raincoats in the street on the local

368
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:09,759
news and it was just missing. The atmospheric river has

369
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,240
parked over Los Angeles. Folks. We've gotten one point five

370
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:17,079
inches of rain today and there's like puddle. They're like

371
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,160
zooming in on the puddles. No, they're overreacting. Okay, So

372
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,920
then front of the show, my buddy Aaron just texted

373
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,440
me and he said he got this from somebody that

374
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:31,319
lives in the LA area. LAFD, which is Los Angeles

375
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:36,799
Fire Department Evacuation warning for possible debris flow of one

376
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:42,960
am today to eleven pm Thursday. Prepare for possible evacuations

377
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,359
and Pacific palace ades due to a severe storm. High

378
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,720
risk houses will be visited by LAPD with specific evacuation orders.

379
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,759
All right, you know what that is true? So the

380
00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:57,119
problem is they do have mud slides off the mountains

381
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,519
when there's rain. Yeah, so that's that is the actually

382
00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:03,119
illegit problem. I'll back off my previous statements and I

383
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,880
think there's a lot of loose debris up there because

384
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,440
of the recent fires. So when, of course, when the

385
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,519
fires is a bunch of ash and mud and loose

386
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:13,480
trees and all kinds of debris that could be sliding

387
00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:16,920
down when the rain comes after a fire. Okay, So

388
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,680
my question is this, then if gas is expensive here,

389
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,359
real estate's expensive. Yes, they have earthquakes, Yes, they have

390
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:30,680
terrible fires, they have mud slides. Huh, they have an

391
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,039
ounce of rain and it stops the city. Why would

392
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:39,240
anyone want to live here? It's seventy two degrees in

393
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,839
sunny every day for the most part, like three hundred

394
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:48,039
and fifty days a year. Okay, Acid answered, I mean

395
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:52,880
I love it too. There I do. It's Politan, there's Hollywood,

396
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,559
there's I mean, I'm not living the real life here.

397
00:20:55,599 --> 00:20:57,839
I mean, I'm not spending. I'm not in Irvine, you

398
00:20:57,839 --> 00:20:59,799
know what I mean. I'm not gonna hamp it in

399
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:03,119
and Anaheim. I mean the most hodious, totiest part of

400
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:10,079
the country here. But it's just crazy that every newscast

401
00:21:10,279 --> 00:21:12,279
is like because another people are talking about you know,

402
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:14,279
people like to sometimes they like to travel on Christmas,

403
00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:16,759
even Christmas, you know, like driving somewhere because they think

404
00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:18,519
it's easier to get out. That's compared to like trying

405
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:20,559
to go to the airport today or tomorrow or Yeah,

406
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:23,759
they're like, if you don't leave today by noon, you're

407
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:27,319
stuck here. Expect to spend Christmas here in Los Angeles. Yeah,

408
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,200
but I guess this is some kind of all time storm.

409
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,160
I guess. But another is it it's the same storm

410
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,759
that was in Seattle and Portland last week. To get down,

411
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,400
I didn't know that. But I'll tell you why I

412
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,200
love visiting my friends in La cause we went I

413
00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:43,079
like literally when I came to La we went to

414
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,920
the beach, we went to the mountains. You can go

415
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,160
to Joshua Tree in the desert, you can go to Indio,

416
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,920
like every Vegas is only three hours away. It's close

417
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,480
to everything. And that's one of the reasons Hollywood PLoP

418
00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:55,759
down there too, is because if you need to shoot

419
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:57,720
a movie in the ocean, or a movie in the desert,

420
00:21:57,799 --> 00:21:59,680
or a movie in the mountains, or a movie and wherever,

421
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:07,839
you got everything around there and the weather is great generally, yeah, generally.

422
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,240
And the people are pretentious. Yes, everything's expensive, but yes, yes,

423
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:15,319
if you want to really feel fat, Like when you're

424

427
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:26,839
baristas have six packs. Yeah, I mean yoga pants is

handful of things, and one of them is that, Yes,

442
00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:23,799
he's infatuated with the serial killers and other things of

443
00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:27,519

00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,119
nine zero on Uber and five on lifts. I don't

493
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,720
know why I'm still stuck at four point nine on Uber,

494
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,680
but it is. M I'm trying. Gosh, that's a pretty week.

495
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,279
It's not weak at all. It's wonderful. Actually. I mean

496
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:37,920
if I was a four point nine and is an

497
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,000
Olympic champ and was out of scale, I'd be an

498
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,799
Olympic champion. I'm a four ninety seven. You weren't perfect, though,

499
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,720
you were not any company chock. I know when I

500
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,799
got a one star and it was my friend's fault

501
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:54,160
because he was screaming at the guy. Huh, can I

502
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,880
tell you very fast forward before we talk to Gail.

503
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:01,200
Go ahead, So a few years back, this is a

504
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,039
funny story. One of our people in our Rockets traveling

505
00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:09,319
party said Hey, well, I'm gonna order you guys an uber.

506
00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:12,720
And there was four of us in the car, and one

507
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,920
of the four people told this story about an escapade

508
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,480
he had in his life when he was single. It

509
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:21,440
was one of the foul stories I've ever heard of

510
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,960
my entire life. Okay, and I can't even discuss what

511
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:29,160
happened in the in the story because it's so grotesque,

512
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,400
it so funny. So the next day, this person comes

513
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,799
up to us and says, what happened in y'all's in

514
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,000
my uber? And we're like, when are you talking about? Nothing?

515
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,440
We got in the car and we were just talking

516
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,519
and we did tell a funny story. The person's uber

517
00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:52,640
account she lost to half a star. Now, to lose

518
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,359
a half a star in on off one ride, it

519
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,559
means you got like a one star.

520
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

521
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,559
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, if someone gives you an uber,

522
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,960
do not tell raunchy vow stories that could potentially get

523
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,279
a person a rating. You especially want to behave yourself

524
00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:13,960
when it's not your uber. That's exactly right. Are we

525
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,440
already at ten forty four? Man? Yeah? You know why?

526
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,519
Because these we have to play those PayPal spots eighty

527
00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:23,759
five times. Hey, let's go PayPal dot com. I've been

528
00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:27,319
using it for years. Seriously, if y'all please support PayPal.

529
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,119
I mean, God knows, they're paying money with us, they're

530
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,720
paying your paycheck pal. That's right, those are calling myself

531
00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:40,759
PayPal Thomas. I appreciate them. We love all of advertises,

532
00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:44,359
especially PayPal this week. Hells yeah, they're like, you know what,

533
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,640
we'll buy the entire iHeart network for like twelve dollars

534
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,440
a spot this week, nobody's advertising anything. Appreciate them. Okay,

535
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,960
So here's we're gonna do. We're gonna comeack, We're gonna

536
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,000
hear from Steve Kornaki this dork is carved on a

537
00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:59,759
nice little career for himself. That's rude. Why are you

538
00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:02,759
gonna holming dork because he rolls up his sleeve. Guess

539
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:04,720
what you get to do, Steve, You can wear a

540
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,319
short sleeve on the set and that rolled up. Because

541
00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:09,440
it's like he's not he's like he thinks he's like

542
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:12,799
grinding through these numbers. No, then he have like a

543
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:15,759
pencil in his ear normally too. Yes, I mean it's not,

544
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,119
it's not he's burning the midnight all in front of

545
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,160
a computer. He might be the NFL in every website

546
00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:24,400
gives you the stats of what's going on. Hell, did

547
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,839
you see Adam Wexer's tweet today? He gave you this stuff.

548
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,599
I didn't. You don't even see wex rolling up his

549
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,480
sleeves and putting a pencil behind the ear whereas wex

550
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:38,160
Oh my gosh, yeah, he look at that thing. That

551
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,640
thing is. That thing is deep and medium. It's got

552
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:46,920
a lot to it. Steve Karinaki will run down how

553
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,519
the Texans can be the number one seed in the AFC.

554
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,160
Next here on Sports Talk seven ninety one, we're gonna

555
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,920
check in in Los Angeles. Actually not me, with somebody

556
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,680
else in here in Los Angeles. Chris Hayry from CBS

557
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,720
Loss Angel's gonna join us about the Chargers tech. I

558
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,759
thought you guys were gonna do it together from Rodeo Drive.

559
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:08,559
I mean, I guess we could. Now what I have

560
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,920
to buy him the coffee because the coffee is expensive

561
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,400
on Rodeo. Uh, they can go Dutch. That's true, all right.

562
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,640
So we have our Wadam Wexer giving you a complete

563
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,680
rundown of what the Texans can do, either making the

564
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,960
playoffs or not being the number one seed or just

565
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,920
being a Walt card. We're gonna go beyond that, and

566
00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:30,319
we love wex like a second cousin. But we want

567
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:33,000
to go to Steve Kornaki of NBC, who's gonna give

568
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:35,359
us how he thinks the Texans could be the number

569
00:30:35,359 --> 00:30:38,200
one seed in the AFC to.

570
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,359
Speaker 6: This and start fresh. To get to the most complicated

571
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,400
the Texans. The Texans with five losses, the best they

572
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,960
could do is twelve and five. But the Texans would

573
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,519
have a bunch of tie breakers if it ever came

574
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:52,839
to that. So you see the Texans, how do they

575
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,960
get every other team to five losses? They play the Chargers,

576
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,359
so they have a chance themselves to hand the Chargers

577
00:30:58,359 --> 00:31:00,759
a fifth loss. They need the Bill to drop one

578
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,160
of these two. Maybe it's the Eagles, Bills would have

579
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,920
their fifth loss. They'd need the Jags to drop one

580
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,359
that you know, maybe it's the Colts, maybe it's the Titans.

581
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,240
They would need the Patriots to drop two of their

582
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:14,000
remaining three games, and they would need the Broncos to

583
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:17,400
lose not just to the Chargers, but also to the

584
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,880
Kansas City Chiefs to finish at twelve and five. And then,

585
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,480
and only then would the number one seed in the

586
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:26,640
AFC be with about a point two percent chance something

587
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,799
like that, like a snowball in Key West.

588
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:35,119
Speaker 1: Those are their chances. Oh, I couldn't, Okay, let's call

589
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,039
it ain't now go ahead. First of all, it ain't happen.

590
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:41,960
And secondly, he didn't. He didn't research that, No chance,

591
00:31:42,079 --> 00:31:44,319
no way, no how what do you mean? Somebody did

592
00:31:44,359 --> 00:31:49,119
it for him? Correct, Like a website like Google or

593
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,000
NFL dot com did it for him. I have a question, Matt,

594
00:31:53,359 --> 00:31:59,079
why do you care? Because because like, who cares? Let

595
00:31:59,079 --> 00:32:01,160
me tell you something. My job as a major market

596
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,759
sports cast, okay, is to call out the frauds. How

597
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,359
is he a fraud? He's just bringing that's good on

598
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,720
air content. It's talking about playoff scenarios and they, I mean,

599
00:32:11,759 --> 00:32:13,599
they have to win the time. I mean we played

600
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,240
it here too, but he just wanted to play it here.

601
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,319
Does he need to roll up his sleeve, put a

602
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:21,119
pencil behind his ear, sweat from his brow? I don't

603
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,640
care how he wears his sleeves, because I'm if we're

604
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,640
doing a four hour show, and work with me a

605
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,559
little bit here, Okay, Ross, I got the Rockets losing

606
00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:34,680
the New Orleans and you're stacking mule last week. Work

607
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,119
with me a little bit, Okay, Trent entertaining it here,

608
00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:43,880
uh huh. It just makes me doubt whether and I

609
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,519
should believe this guy comes politics time. So if his

610
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,400
if his sleeves were down, you'd feel better. I just

611
00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:52,960
I don't know. It just feels like it's it's more

612
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,880
theatrics undered his information. Okay, See he's in in the

613
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,319
entertainment midness. They gotta trot him out there or something.

614
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:01,799
He's got to he's got to earn his keep at

615
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,000
NBC somehow. Yeah, that's actually the only elections so often

616
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:06,920
you can only have so many runoff elections and I

617
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,400
don't know, Ohio or whatever. Well, yeah he's gonna have

618
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,000
he's got the midterms coming up, so I got something

619
00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:13,680
to work on. Apparently he's been he was doing stuff

620
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,720
at the Westminster Dog Show too, Okay, So I mean

621
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:19,640
my then my point is well taken. Then. Now see

622
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,400
the labrador, the labrador has about a twelve point seven

623
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:28,880
percent chance. You look at the history. There is nobody

624
00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:33,839
on the earth that can talk dogs, football and politics.

625
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,759
You gotta stay in your lane one way or the other. Oh,

626
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:37,599
this is gonna make you even better, just to feel

627
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,559
even better. Looking at this graphic, it looks like they

628
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:44,480
get their probabilities from pre pff. I'm okay with that. Oh, okay,

629
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:46,839
I told you, I'm turning the corner in ps. That's good.

630
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:51,240
The poo realize they're poon hounds. Ye, I'm okay with that. Okay, well,

631
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:53,799
song as you're okay with it, Matt. I just want

632
00:33:53,839 --> 00:33:55,000
them to have bounds in their life.

633
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: M m.

634
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's funny. You know. I'll tell you

635
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:04,039
what the Thomas. We don't do politics in the House

636
00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:06,200
very much, but we do like Steve Kornacki when he's

637
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,320
like doing the politics, like if you get this man

638
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,039
electoral votes in this state, couple this this, Now, that

639
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:14,480
is some serious work right there, like adding stuff. Last election,

640
00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:20,320
I went to the movies. I went, I turned my

641
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,599
phone off and went to the movies. I was like, silence,

642
00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:26,639
isn't there's no good result here? I think I delivered you.

643
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,360
I delivered text to you quietly? Did I No? I

644
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,079
believe I turned my phone completely off and my watch. Okay,

645
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,360
Oh that's funny. Steve Karnaki carbon and iel career based

646
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,440
off of stealing bits from ESPN dot com. Good for him. Well,

647
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,880
all right, what else I got going on? Are you

648
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,159
excited for rocket slippers tonight? Oh? I'm over the moon

649
00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:56,480
nine got moving up a half an hour, so okay, mad.

650
00:34:56,639 --> 00:34:58,840
So last time we talked, I was telling you how

651
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,280
there was a Oklahoma City thunder cloud over my head. Yeah.

652
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,079
They're a little more human now, aren't they. They are?

653
00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:11,000
But so are the Rockets. They lost to the Kings

654
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,039
and the Pelicans in the same trip.

655
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 4: We know.

656
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: I've be on the road since like early November. That's okay.

657
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,760
How's your beard? You been shaving? I did actually shave yesterday,

658
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,800
which I normally don't do. Okay, what about I know

659
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,760
you like to well, I know you like to get

660
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,480
both done at the same time. Did you get you

661
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,280
get a head shaved too?

662
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:27,519
Speaker 7: No?

663
00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:29,519
Speaker 1: No, I actually did it myself because I was really

664
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:33,079
go to the barber shop. You're in the hotel ooh no,

665
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,840
And I normally pay forty two dollars for in king

666
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,519
what it was one hundred and thirty five and without

667
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,559
m mass, without the hotel. So I said, you know what,

668
00:35:41,559 --> 00:35:43,360
I'm gonna go get some. I'm gonna go the Oh,

669
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,320
by the way, now here's another thing. So I go

670
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,000
to the I go to the front desk asking for

671
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:48,920
shaving cream. You know, usually if you ask for like

672
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,079
a toothpaste or tooth brush at his hand to and

673
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:53,920
say have a great day. Oh, no, sir, we'll have

674
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,960
it delivered to your room. I got a funny well,

675
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,599
I guess it's not that funny of a story. But

676
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,480
I was at the role and rug it and I

677
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:05,679
forgot my toothbrush. Happens. I called him and they said,

678
00:36:05,679 --> 00:36:10,880
are you in a sweet? I said no, I'm in

679
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,880
a regular room. They're like, oh, we only provide toothbrush

680
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:21,280
if you're in this sweet. Come on, tillman, that's dude.

681
00:36:22,039 --> 00:36:25,000
This lady I said, I said, oh, you're gonna a room,

682
00:36:25,079 --> 00:36:26,960
shame me. I was messing with her. She was laughing,

683
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,960
Can I tell Patrick? She's like, yes, you should, I will.

684
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,320
I will absolutely tell. She was like, I'm so sorry. Yeah,

685
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,119
I don't know. They tell me that I can only

686
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:37,079
give you a toothbrush. So I guess I should have

687
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:40,719
lied and said I was in a sweet and then

688
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,760
she's like, go ahead. You would have said yes, I'm

689
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,159
in sweet. Yeah, right, and they would have figured it out.

690
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,199
And then it got to your room, like we're gonna

691
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,400
turn around and turn around my toothbrush, and she's like, yeah,

692
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,960
you can go down to this store and get the

693
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:55,480
dental kit. And I was like, no, I just I

694
00:36:55,519 --> 00:36:56,880
was messing with her. I was like, I'll just gargle

695
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,320
my toothpaste. I'll be fine, and she laughed, which is

696
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,639
that's what I did. I yount get my more, my

697
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,639

699
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:10,159
gonna laugh.

700
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 7: Dude.

701
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: I was like, are you seriously, I'm getting ruth shamed

702
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:23,199
asking for a toothbrush. But I was like, come on,

703
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:25,000
I know why you want me to go back to

704
00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:26,960
my room. You want to get You want a tip,

705
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
And I gave him a tip. But damn, I did

706
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,159
all the heavy lifted ross I went downstairs. I didn't

707
00:37:33,159 --> 00:37:35,239
even do something as Booze usual by calling for it

708
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,320
I went down there to go get it. My fellows

709
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,119
fifty to fifty they would even give one. I just

710
00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:42,159
wanted to see if they would offer. And then it

711
00:37:42,159 --> 00:37:43,719
turned out I had a spare one from the dentist

712
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,159
in my car, so I couldn't. Oh that's great, let's

713
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:48,920
check on the Chargers next. It is coming up on

720
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:15,559
thirty from into it Dome. Right now, let's talk about

721
00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:18,920
one of the other LA Sports teams, the Chargers, and

722
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,960
joining us right now from CBS Los Angeles. He also

723
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,280
does a weekly podcast about the Los Angeles Chargers. We

724
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,800
say hello to Chris Heyry here on the Matt Thomas

725
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,320
Show at Ross, Chris, It's Matt and Ross. Good morning

726
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,679
to you first and foremost, and I we will go

727
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,480
to the games itself. Tell me what it's like. And

728
00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:39,400
I had to counterpart on from the Rams earlier this

729
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,719
year when the Texans played them. How does the Chargers

730
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,320
gain attention to the LA sports landscape and does this

731
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,880
run help them or is it still When you go

732
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,039
to games at so far with the Chargers there's a

733
00:38:52,119 --> 00:38:54,079
large amount of other teams fans in the building.

734
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,639
Speaker 3: Well, you know what great to be with you, man.

735
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,760
I think that the the Hardball effect is certainly real.

736
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,280
I've been with this organization since they moved up to

737
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,320
Los Angeles in twenty seventeen, and I could tell you

738
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,880
it's grown exponentially. I'll also tell you that in Los

739
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:18,840
Angeles it is a Lakers and a Dodgers town, and

740
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,119
there is a slice of the pie for everybody else,

741
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,079
and if you win, the slice gets bigger. And I've

742
00:39:26,119 --> 00:39:30,360
seen Jim Harball in just two short seasons go back

743
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,480
to back eleven wins with this quarterback, and you're starting

744
00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:37,239
to kind of feel the buzz a little bit. And

745
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:40,280
it's pretty cool to see both the Rams and the

746
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,360
Chargers really being looked at its contenders in both the

747
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,639
AFC and NFC right now.

748
00:39:46,199 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's certainly a good time for football here in

749
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,239
Southern California. Chris. The Houston audience had a chance to

750
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,400
see the Chargers Cowboys game before the Texans last week,

751
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,719
and it felt like to me, and I'm so glad

752
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,639
you're able to join us today. Justin's got a plethora

753
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,559
of targets to go into that offense. I mean, I

754
00:40:05,559 --> 00:40:07,039
don't know if it was a perfect game, because I

755
00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:09,159
was here, I'm traveling. I didn't see the whole thing,

756
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:12,079
but it felt like to me that Herbert could throw

757
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:14,280
it to about five different people on the field at

758
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,480
any one point during the game.

759
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: You know, we're doing our podcast today and that's that's

760
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,159
one of the first things we're going to talk about.

761
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,679
This is just the the emergence of some of these

762
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,960
guys that you didn't know we're gonna have a big

763
00:40:30,199 --> 00:40:33,360
as big of an impact as they've had. Trey Harris,

764
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,760
the second round rookie comes to mind. It used to

765
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,280
be third in Keenan right. It was like, all right,

766
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,360
Keenan's getting the ball third down. Now it's third and

767
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,360
Keenan third and lad Trey Harris's raised his hand. The

768
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,400
rookie Ronde Gadsden, Quentin Johnston, who was actually hurt the

769
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:54,519
week before against the Chiefs four catches for one hundred

770
00:40:54,559 --> 00:40:56,920
and four yards and a just an unbelievable one handed

771
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,400
touchdown catch. So you're right, they have a lot of weapons.

772
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,679
And just the emergence of Marion Hampton to the rookie

773
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,440
running back who has missed a large chunk of the

774
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,079
season with an ankle injury. He returned a couple of

775
00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:12,519
weeks ago, and he was just like a runaway freight train,

776
00:41:12,679 --> 00:41:15,840
like eighty one yards the touchdown to put him up

777
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,239
thirty four to seventeen. So I go back to last

778
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,599
year and how Justin didn't really have any weapons in

779
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,239
that Houston Wildcard game. It seemed like, you know, they

780
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,800
shut down Quinton Johnston. Lad was the only weapon who

781
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,960
could produce anything through the air one hundred and ninety

782
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,639
seven yards I think ninety It came on that one

783
00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:39,159
play at the end of the game. So yeah, it's

784
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,559
night and day from last year in terms of the

785
00:41:41,559 --> 00:41:43,960
weapons and just kind of how everybody is kind of

786
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:44,920
working in harmony.

787
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 1: Here Chris Heyry joining us from CBS Los Angeles here

788
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,920
on the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Okay, So I'm

789
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,280
assuming that mister Herbert's hand is okay. I know he

790
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,039
was kind of grumpy about a few weeks ago, but

791
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,599
there was anything that you saw against the Cowboys that

792
00:41:58,800 --> 00:41:59,599
alarmed you at all.

793
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 3: Well, no, this was this was the first game this

794
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,280
season where he was not sacked, zero sacks allowed by

795
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,199
this offensive line who's been the big topic of conference.

796
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:14,320
Make no mistake, it's a it's a broken hand, right,

797
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,800
it's a it's a it's a broken non throwing hand.

798
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 8: Uh.

799
00:42:17,599 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 3: But he has found a way to play with it,

800
00:42:21,199 --> 00:42:24,119
and you know it seemingly is getting better each week.

801
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,559
But to throw for three hundred yards, which is the

802
00:42:27,599 --> 00:42:30,480
most passing years that he's thrown for since middle of

803
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:34,679
October against the Colts, you're starting to see that dimension

804
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,639
of the offense. Since the bye week, since getting blown

805
00:42:37,639 --> 00:42:40,960
out by the Jags, Matt, this team has really relied

806
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,000
on their defense to to win them football games. And

807
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,119
Sunday was the first time where you know, the defense

808
00:42:48,159 --> 00:42:49,440
kind of got hit in the mouth early in the

809
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:53,880
game against Dak Who's that's fantastic, But to to kind

810
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,199
of get hit in the mouth by that Dak Prescott

811
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,000
led offense, justin Herbert had to go toe for toe

812
00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:02,679
with them, and then the defense settles down, doesn't allow

813
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,920
any points in the second half, yet Justin continues to go.

814
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:08,760
So he's unbelievable.

815
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: He's one of.

816
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 3: The toughest quarterbacks you'll ever come across. He makes a

817
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:19,119
hero type play almost every game and the defense carry

818
00:43:19,159 --> 00:43:21,639
the day. But Sunday was the first time where I

819
00:43:21,639 --> 00:43:25,360
was like, wow, if this passing attack can get in

820
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,519
rhythm in the playoffs and the Church may have something

821
00:43:28,199 --> 00:43:28,559
all right.

822
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:30,639
Speaker 1: So with all that being said, and look, I've been

823
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:34,360
a Herbert guy from a distance, but last year's wild

824
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,760
card game he was atrocious. He has not had a

825
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:41,360
whole lot of postseason success. Tell me in your mind,

826
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,440
how bad does he need a couple of postseason wins

827
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,239
to build on his resume. I mean, first, every quarterback

828
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,000
needs one that goes without saying. But how much pressure

829
00:43:51,039 --> 00:43:53,519
will there be when the Chargers get to the playoffs

830
00:43:53,679 --> 00:43:55,400
for him to have all the success in the last

831
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,039
handful of weeks the Chargers had if they come up

832
00:43:58,079 --> 00:44:00,400
short and in particular of Herbert struggles.

833
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,679
Speaker 3: We'll have these conversations on radio.

834
00:44:04,079 --> 00:44:05,039
Speaker 1: We'll continue to happen.

835
00:44:05,199 --> 00:44:07,679
Speaker 3: You know. It's uh. I think I think that that's

836
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:11,599
been the biggest thing is Justin has done everything during

837
00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:16,360
the regular season. He's set records, he's been unbelievable. But

838
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,840
until you do it in the postseason, there's gonna be

839
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,239
a lot to talk about it. There's gonna be a

840
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,360
lot of talk about, Hey, can he win a playoff game?

841
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,960
Can he get you deep into the postseason? I have

842
00:44:26,079 --> 00:44:28,800
no doubt that he can, right, It's it's just every

843
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,320
season is different, Every opponent you come across is different.

844
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,400
The the that Texas game, it was just you know,

845
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,320
he threw three interceptions all season, Uh, to throw four

846
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,159
in that game, and I get it he was he

847
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:46,000
was pressing because the Texans got momentum in that second

848
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,559
half and never let up. But yeah, that's gonna be

849
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,400
that's gonna be the topic of conversation until he does it.

850
00:44:55,519 --> 00:44:59,159
But what's fascinating about the playoffs this year, Matt, And

851
00:44:59,199 --> 00:45:02,840
it's it goes the Texans too. Anybody could be any seed,

852
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:07,039
you know, you know, the Texans could somehow went out

853
00:45:07,079 --> 00:45:09,880
and the Jacks drop a game and they're they're winning

854
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,840
the South again. You know, the the Chargers went out

855
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,440
and they win the West, right, they control their destiny

856
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,360
now because they beat the Broncos early in the year.

857
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,760
They could be as high as the one seed of

858
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,679
the two seed, as low as the seventh seed. This

859
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,039
is a wide open AFC with no Patrick mahomes uh,

860
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:32,320
probably no Lamar Jackson, no Joe Burrow, and anybody can

861
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,840
win this thing. It's just about matchups and and who's

862
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,920
going to be the grittier team, who doesn't make any

863
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,159
mistakes in January.

864
00:45:39,639 --> 00:45:43,679
Speaker 1: It's so crazy, Chris, seven different NFL towns all in

865
00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:46,480
the AFC. I think they've got a shot to be

866
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,039
playing on Super Sunday, and it kind of makes it wonderful,

867
00:45:49,159 --> 00:45:52,599
you know, I believe it's bad. Yeah, I just couldn't believe.

868
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,360
When was it de Rich Eisen said that we're all

869
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,079
going to miss the Chiefs in the playoffs. I'm like,

870
00:45:57,119 --> 00:45:58,840
you know what, Kansas City might miss it, but nobody

871
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,119
else could. It gives two craps about whether or not

872
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:02,480
the Chiefs are the playoffs. And now thought it was

873
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,039
one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time.

874
00:46:04,079 --> 00:46:07,159
But that's neither here nor there. Chris Hayry from CBS

875
00:46:07,159 --> 00:46:09,320
in Los Angeles joining us. All Right, So not that

876
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:13,480
I let Vegas determine everything, but the over under on

877
00:46:13,519 --> 00:46:16,480
this Chris is thirty nine and a half. That would

878
00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:18,760
tend to mean even though the Chargers are a small

879
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,719
favorite in this game, but they're expecting this to be

880
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,599
a twenty one to eighteen type of football game. How

881
00:46:24,639 --> 00:46:27,360
do you envision? Again, the Texans defense will be the

882
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,440
best the Chargers probably have seen in quite some time.

883
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,960
But the Chargers and again the Cowboys defense was atrocious.

884
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000
You saw that last week. But let me tell me.

885
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,960
Can a Chargers win a low scoring, close game? Can

886
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,199
their defense do enough to keep this thing close? The

887
00:46:42,199 --> 00:46:44,360
Texans offense has been better as of they didn't play

888
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,559
a lot really well last week. But what is it

889
00:46:46,599 --> 00:46:48,400
going to be like for Justin to face maybe his

890
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,119
best defense he's seen in probably in two months?

891
00:46:52,039 --> 00:46:56,519
Speaker 3: You're right, I mean, so the Broncos are a super

892
00:46:56,559 --> 00:47:00,199
Bowl caliber defense. To Houston Texans are a super super

893
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,480
Bowl caliber defense. But you know, go back to just

894
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:08,000
the two weeks before the game against the Cowboys. You know,

895
00:47:08,039 --> 00:47:10,880
I know Jalen Carter didn't playing that game, but Philly

896
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:16,679
secondary is unbelievable. They won a low scoring overtime game

897
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,519
twenty two to or twenty I think it was twenty

898
00:47:19,559 --> 00:47:22,599
one eighteen something like that twenty two to nineteen.

899
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:24,559
Speaker 2: The next week.

900
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 3: Sixteen thirteen over the Chiefs in fifteen degree weather. So

901
00:47:28,039 --> 00:47:30,559
this defense, this defense is ready for it. And I

902
00:47:30,599 --> 00:47:33,760
think that the Chargers defense is just a small rung

903
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,079
below those other defenses that I mentioned. They've been awesome

904
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,440
since getting hit in the mouth against Jacksonville. After the bye,

905
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,760
they have seemingly a Pro bowler, an all Pro on

906
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,400
every level of their defense. Derwin James named to his

907
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,519
fifth Pro Bowl today Tooley Towoy Polo two has been

908
00:47:51,599 --> 00:47:56,079
unbelievable thirteen sacks for him, same as Daniel Hunter. And

909
00:47:56,199 --> 00:48:00,000
to have to have a guy like dayon Henley who

910
00:48:00,119 --> 00:48:03,480
coming on as of late, a very sticky secondary with

911
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:08,320
veterans like Tony Jefferson. I do think that the Chargers

912
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,599
defense is going to be the unit that carries the

913
00:48:10,679 --> 00:48:12,199
day for them if they're going to make a run

914
00:48:12,679 --> 00:48:16,559
in the postseason. You know, you know, I don't put

915
00:48:16,559 --> 00:48:18,880
too much stock in how close that game was against

916
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,320
the Raiders. For the Texans. Something tells me that they

917
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,360
were probably looking a couple of weeks ahead, and every

918
00:48:25,559 --> 00:48:27,400
every team in the NFL is going to have these

919
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,599
these close games against another NFL team.

920
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 2: So CJ.

921
00:48:31,079 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 3: Stroud has looked really good this year in spots, and

922
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,519
I do I see I see a twenty four to

923
00:48:38,599 --> 00:48:44,400
twenty one game, maybe a twenty seventeen game. Watch watch

924
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,960
us get their Saturday, Matt, and it's a it's a

925
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,920
forty two thirty five game. Who knows, but I do

926
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,639
think both of these defenses are going to show up

927
00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:52,199
on Saturday.

928
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,079
Speaker 1: All right, Most important question for you, Chris, how does

929
00:48:55,079 --> 00:48:57,239
the Los Angelino are going to prepare for seven inches

930
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,519
of rain here in California next three days?

931
00:49:01,559 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 3: You know what I'm anchoring tonight, And I just I

932
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,400
have a sneaky suspicion some of our sports it's may

933
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,199
get killed if it's four watched twenty five because when

934
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:16,440
rain hits Los Angeles, people get upset about it and

935
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,960
it gets a lot of coverage. I feel bad for

936
00:49:19,039 --> 00:49:21,679
you that you're here this week and we're getting rain

937
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,760
when we've had beautiful weather the last couple of weeks.

938
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 2: But that's just the way I guess.

939
00:49:26,639 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: The way it goes.

940
00:49:27,679 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 3: Who knows, though, Matt, you may be back here in

941
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,960
a couple of weeks for a playoff game. We don't

942
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,880
know what's gonna happen over here over the next few

943
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:34,599
weeks in the NFL.

944
00:49:35,159 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: That's true. Just just lead your lead your eleven o'clock

945
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,519
newscast with Rockets beat Lakers or Clippers, I should say,

946
00:49:41,559 --> 00:49:43,079
and I'll feel a lot better I talk it because

947
00:49:43,079 --> 00:49:45,079
I need a victory in the worst way. Chris, thank

948
00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:48,840

with a comp So I need you to come up

958
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:23,440

earlier today in the NFL they announced the Pro Bowl selections.

960
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:35,880
What yeah, Now, some shows will cus and discuss everything

none of that. Oh come on now, I mean hell,

970
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,800
Kymi fairbarans eighty percent on the Texans offense this year.

971
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,760
Jaar Jordan didn't make it. It he and sneaky he did. Okay,

972
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,039
stop now you're just losing your mind. So here's where

973
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:24,559
comp comes in. So what happens when you make the

974
00:51:24,639 --> 00:51:27,800
twenty twenty six Pro Bowl? You get to go to

975
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,679
San Francisco the Tuesday before the game. You know they

976
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,159
usually they have it in somewhere else, Orlando or Vega

977
00:51:34,199 --> 00:51:36,159
or something like that, where they're gonna do everything in

978
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,480
San Francisco this year, where the Super Bowl will be well,

979
00:51:38,519 --> 00:51:40,960
you'll be doing radio row wants the Texans make it

980
00:51:41,039 --> 00:51:45,199
this year? Can't wait? I know we're gonna budget that.

981
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:46,920
But that's a different issue for a different time. Yeah,

982
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,320
we'll figure it out. We'll make some cuts. So okay,

983
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,320
so what do you do as a reward for making

984
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:56,920
the Pro Bowl? There is no Pro Bowl game, and

985
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,360
there hasn't been for several years because they they judged

986
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,639
it to be embarrassing because nobody competed. When jj wat

987
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,559
is taking seven step drops throwing passes, that means you

988
00:52:06,599 --> 00:52:08,960
should end your game. So they're gonna be playing a

989
00:52:09,039 --> 00:52:13,800
couple of skills competitions and the main focus is playing

990
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:20,519
a seven on seven flag football game. So I need

991
00:52:20,599 --> 00:52:24,079
a comp from you, Ross feeder Reale. I make the

992
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,199
Pro Bowl, my reward is playing in a seven on

993
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:33,400
seven flag football game. Okay me the comp Would that

994
00:52:33,519 --> 00:52:37,840
be like a baseball team? Make a playing withketball? Would

995
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,239
that be like NBA basketball and they play three on

996
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:45,599
three or horse or horse, which they've done, but it

997
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:51,039
kind of as a side competition. All right, give me

998
00:52:51,159 --> 00:52:56,599
a real life comp real life. I have sold more

999
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:01,840
radio advertising for I heard a huge and I'm gonna

1000
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,800
be rewarded by it. What am I getting in return?

1001
00:53:04,039 --> 00:53:05,239
A bottles of liquor.

1002
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:08,119
Speaker 3: Cats.

1003
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: My point is this, you're taking guys that have busted

1004
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,280
their tails all year long. Yes, to be named a

1005
00:53:19,559 --> 00:53:22,719
Pro Bowler, Now it's different than all Pro there's differences,

1006
00:53:24,079 --> 00:53:27,480
but it still is a semi exclusive group. To be

1007
00:53:27,639 --> 00:53:30,239
named a Pro Bowlers prestigious. To make the Pro Bowl

1008
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:36,280
after five thousand injury dropouts is not correct. So the

1009
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,960
reward is we want you to play one more game.

1010
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,519
We're not gonna let you. We're not gonna make you

1011
00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:45,800
play a real game and put pads on. We're gonna

1012
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,920
dumb it down to a flag football game that doesn't

1013
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,599
even involve eleven of eleven. It's seven on seven?

1014
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:52,119
Speaker 9: Is it?

1015
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,639
Speaker 1: There's there cash prize? What's the incentive? I'm sure there is.

1016
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,559
I have not done enough research on it, but I'm

1017
00:53:57,559 --> 00:53:59,039
going to assume that. I mean, you're getting an all

1018
00:53:59,079 --> 00:54:01,280
expense pay trip to say, just go for it. I mean,

1019
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,599
the NBA All Star Game is basically the flag football equivalent.

1020
00:54:04,639 --> 00:54:09,599
Nobody plays any defense. That's true, That's right. It just

1021
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:14,679
comes across to me is utterly ridiculous. I mean, you

1022
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,719
don't want anybody getting injured. It's the most violent of

1023
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,159
the major sports. What says can can a hockey expert

1024
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,320
explain to me? Like what's the is the is the

1025
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:27,360
Hockey All Star Game intense? And it always feels like

1026
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,440
to me the games are super high scoring, Like if

1027
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:31,280
you looked at the NHL All Star Games, aren't they

1028
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,440
like eleven to ten? Yeah? I mean I don't know.

1029
00:54:34,519 --> 00:54:38,400
I don't have the only peer game that is left question. Yeah, yeah,

1030
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,920
the only peer game that's left is the Baseball All

1031
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,960
Star Game. Yeah, they still and they don't really try. Yeah.

1032
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,440
Baseball is the least physical and they don't. I mean,

1033
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,199
the pitchers are trying. I guess the hitters are two,

1034
00:54:51,639 --> 00:54:54,960
but they're not like buzzing guys with you off the

1035
00:54:55,039 --> 00:54:56,920
plate and stuff like that. No, no, no, they're also

1036
00:54:57,039 --> 00:54:59,360
not throwing seven sliders in a row to potentially hurt

1037
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,559
their own po you know, and groove and fast go

1038
00:55:01,599 --> 00:55:05,159
out there and grooves some fastballs. I just it's just

1039
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,079
it's gonna is a gimmicky That's that's the only way

1040
00:55:09,079 --> 00:55:11,480
I can describe it. Is gimmicky. Google says the NHL

1041
00:55:11,519 --> 00:55:17,159
one is three on three. Now that's gimmicky. Yeah, but

1042
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,480
I mean, yeah, it used to be these All Star

1043
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:24,880
Games were showcases for the talent that the league possesses.

1044
00:55:25,039 --> 00:55:26,920
Now you don't need to showcase anything. I mean, these

1045
00:55:27,039 --> 00:55:30,960
these leagues are all all fine financially. Well, I'll give

1046
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,639
you an example. And again I don't want to go

1047
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:35,679
to when I was a kid, card, but when I

1048
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,159
was a kid, I used to love watching the Pro

1049
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,639
Bowl in Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, which no longer exists,

1050
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:49,840
because I would have just as an example, I could

1051
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:59,079
see Dan Fouts throwing a ball to Steve Largent, you

1052
00:55:59,159 --> 00:56:04,920
know what I mean, yea NFC. I could have let

1053
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:11,960
me dain Joe Montana throwing a pass to Drew Pearson,

1054
00:56:12,199 --> 00:56:13,639
you know what I mean. I mean, just stuff like

1055
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:18,159
that that was kind of cool and interesting. But for

1056
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,960
some reason, and I know the reason, it's because they

1057
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:23,840
want to make sure nobody gets hurt. It just became

1058
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:29,679
an utter joke. And the thing I can't figure out,

1059
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,199
Ross is that you those guys back in nineteen eighty four,

1060
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,679
eighty five, eighty six could get hurt just as much

1061
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,199
as they can in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, when the

1062
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,159
game was still being played. Yeah, now you're you're making

1063
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,199
more millions and millions of dollars. You want the player

1064
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,159
safety is more important, And again, you don't have to

1065
00:56:46,199 --> 00:56:48,599
showcase the league. You don't have to, h you don't.

1066
00:56:49,079 --> 00:56:51,639
The NFL doesn't mean I mean, they need more eyeballs

1067
00:56:51,679 --> 00:56:53,800
and they should keep marketing and all that type of stuff.

1068
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,719
But the Pro Bowl isn't a marketing showcase the way

1069
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,000
that it was. So for all these years you and

1070
00:56:59,079 --> 00:57:01,159
I have been together, I've been saying one key phrase,

1071
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,440
say no to the Pro Bowl. And every time I

1072
00:57:03,559 --> 00:57:06,400
say it, it doesn't work. The ratings go up, although

1073
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:07,960
the ratings have been horrible since they got to this

1074
00:57:08,079 --> 00:57:10,320
kind of format. I think I don't know it just

1075
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,760
what because I mean, look, the Texans PR staff sent

1076
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,119
on an email and said, hey, congratulations, these dudes that

1077
00:57:15,159 --> 00:57:16,320
are going to the Pro BOWM like this is kind

1078
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,519
of cool. I mean, get some recognition. And what's your reward?

1079
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,599
You go to San Francisco the Tuesday when everybody's off

1080
00:57:21,599 --> 00:57:23,800
because that's a Tuesday, normal off day before the Sunday game,

1081
00:57:24,079 --> 00:57:25,800
and you play flag football for a couple of hours.

1082
00:57:27,199 --> 00:57:30,599
It just seems like a cheap way to reward guys

1083
00:57:30,679 --> 00:57:33,280
that bust their tail playing great football when it was

1084
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,440
real football when the season's counted. Yea, all, I don't

1085
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,320
think going up there and beating your head in full

1086
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:39,599
pads is a reward either.

1087
00:57:40,519 --> 00:57:40,559
Speaker 7: No.

1088
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the NBA. Everybody is trying in

1089
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,599
sports to sexy up or maintain some sort of interest

1090
00:57:49,719 --> 00:57:51,320
in their All Star games. The NBA is gonna do

1091
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,360
another All Star thing that year. It's gonna fail. We

1092
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,639
should just get rid of all All Star games. I

1093
00:57:58,159 --> 00:58:00,280
guess they have to be somewhat profitable as far as

1094
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,559
ratings and sponsorships and stuff like that. Right, that's right,

1095
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,639
that's right, all right. I just wanted to bring that

1096
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,920
up that I just thought it was weird that all

1097
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,360
I mean, does alsis Alshire selling a guy who wants

1098
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,039
to not? You know, once I get involved in an

1099
00:58:13,039 --> 00:58:16,679
All star flag football, you can't knock somebody down to

1100
00:58:16,719 --> 00:58:20,280
ask him. It's a great honor. Has he been Has

1101
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,599
he been a Pro bowler before? I don't think he's been.

1102
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,719
He's been around, I mean close, he hasn't been finding

1103
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,159
four weeks. That's a good sign. Right Yeah. By the way,

1104
00:58:32,199 --> 00:58:35,480
really quick, first Pro Bowl. Yeah we're running late for this,

1105
00:58:36,039 --> 00:58:37,440
so uh real quick.

1106
00:58:37,679 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

1107
00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:43,239
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler of the Golden State Warriors basically, uh, the

1108
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,440
Warriors have been sending out social media posts saying hey,

1109
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:48,920
Warrior fans, vote for Jimmy Butler to go to the

1110

It's every Tuesday, eleven thirty here on Sports Talk seventy

1128
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:56,880
quick recap of a couple things. When we get to

1129
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,679
how we did last week, and I think, Jonathan, you

1130
00:59:58,719 --> 01:00:02,320
had to write this down because I just can't handle it.

1131
01:00:03,599 --> 01:00:05,639
Our friend Pedro Ross says that he was at the

1132
01:00:05,719 --> 01:00:08,679
Molden Mugget last summer and it was twenty eight dollars

1133
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,679
for a small bottle of sunscreen. So I believe that

1134
01:00:12,239 --> 01:00:15,440
the struggle is real on that bottle of soda was

1135
01:00:15,559 --> 01:00:19,320
five bucks. Yeah, but you tip five bucks when you're

1136
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,800
buying beers at the table, aren't you. I'd usually do

1137
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,280
a dollar beer, maybe two if she's fast, maybe three

1138
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:33,199
if she's looking good. That's fair being. Am I wrong?

1139
01:00:33,719 --> 01:00:35,639
I mean, no, you're not wrong. I bet you hear me.

1140
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:40,039
Let me criticizing you, right, Lake, Let me tell you

1141
01:00:40,119 --> 01:00:42,920
something Lake Charles seven about three o'clock in the morning.

1142
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:49,599
Like it's all right, eh okay, Cass says, I'm segwaying

1143
01:00:49,639 --> 01:00:53,119
you say thank you, You're welcome. Cash says a home

1144
01:00:53,239 --> 01:00:56,760
run derby with metal bats. That's actually a pretty good

1145
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,360
cop of how you're going from making something awesome to

1146
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,559
be utterly ridiculous to capitate one of the children in

1147
01:01:02,599 --> 01:01:05,679
the outfield. Don't get the metal bats out there. Jonathan,

1148
01:01:05,719 --> 01:01:08,000
here's one for you. How about is a comp a

1149
01:01:08,119 --> 01:01:11,480
track team makes their All Star game and then they

1150
01:01:11,559 --> 01:01:14,719
have to run a three legged race. That's actually pretty good.

1151
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,119
He's speaking to an engineer right now. He can't. Uh oh,

1152
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,320
when he's back, let me know, because I want to

1153
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,400
get his comp on that. Here we go, Bob says,

1154
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,679
make it a seven on sack seven tackle with the

1155
01:01:25,719 --> 01:01:29,360
scout teams to the two Super Bowl contenders, guys laying

1156
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,480
on the line for a potential job next year. I

1157
01:01:31,679 --> 01:01:37,639
totally watch that. That makes a lot of sense. Okay,

1158
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,960
Jonathan Backer, No, he's he's there. Still, he's still, he's

1159
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,159
They've got a funny line I want to use with that. Okay, well,

1160
01:01:43,239 --> 01:01:45,119
you have to keep it in your back pocket. I

1161
01:01:45,199 --> 01:01:46,960
will keep it. And he also has the archives from

1162
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:48,760
last week, so I mean, okay, so we're having a

1163
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,599
really well on this point. Here, I can bring up

1164
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:55,599
mine from two weeks ago. I think, had you sent

1165
01:01:55,679 --> 01:01:57,199
him to us, I think, okay, I don't think I

1166
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,199
hadn't do so hot. I had a read Shepherd twenty

1167
01:01:59,239 --> 01:02:02,599
plus point game. I think he scored ten CJ strowed

1168
01:02:02,679 --> 01:02:06,679
three tds. That didn't happen. M three first team All

1169
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:08,920
pros on Texans defense. How many Pro bowlers do they

1170
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,440
have more than that? Okay, so maybe I got a shot?

1171
01:02:13,679 --> 01:02:15,800
Can I give you one before we really get going here?

1172
01:02:16,159 --> 01:02:19,360
Jonathan's talking to the engineer. Yes, I'm going to will

1173
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:25,320
this one. Rockets beat both the Clippers and Lakers this week. Okay,

1174
01:02:28,039 --> 01:02:32,159
it feels good. No events a zoobots tonight, the rocket

1175
01:02:32,239 --> 01:02:34,960
certified Rockets killer, rocket killer. I think he was what

1176
01:02:35,039 --> 01:02:36,719
eleven to thirteen or something like that from the floor

1177
01:02:36,719 --> 01:02:41,519
of the previous time. Yes, something like that. Okay. No

1178
01:02:41,639 --> 01:02:46,599
prediction about Saturday's game. I can't Okay, I I it

1179
01:02:46,719 --> 01:02:52,280
isn't it better when I don't make a prediction? OKAYU

1180
01:02:53,079 --> 01:02:56,840
Cougars beat LSU by at least a touchdown in the

1181
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:02,719
Texas Bowl. Oh okay, you heard me. I ain't scared.

1182
01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:07,320
But I think we got forty seven opt outs on

1183
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,679
the team. I think the trainers have opt out, opted out, Yes,

1184
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,599
id opted out. I'm gonna give you one, and you

1185
01:03:13,639 --> 01:03:15,679
should have put in the back of your back pocket.

1186
01:03:15,719 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 2: Okay.

1187
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: James Harden gets traded. Who wants him? He's making a

1188
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:27,480
lot of money. Yeah, how about this one. Can I

1189
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:32,199
let me adjust? Okay, James Harden doesn't get James Harden

1190
01:03:32,239 --> 01:03:34,440
does not end the season as a Los Angeles Clipper

1191
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,239
because he could be bought out, so that would be

1192
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,079
technically the constant things all amended a little bit. Okay,

1193
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:42,360
James Harden does not finish his season as a Clipper.

1194
01:03:42,519 --> 01:03:45,519
I have a Los Angeles Clippers, believe it or not,

1195
01:03:45,679 --> 01:03:48,519
nugget for you, since you brought him up to reward

1196
01:03:48,559 --> 01:03:50,920
an early listener. Oh, I love that he is their

1197
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:56,360
all time leader in triple doubles with eight. You know

1198
01:03:56,559 --> 01:03:59,239
he's gonna go down Chris Paul would be number one

1199
01:03:59,239 --> 01:04:04,159
in that. But yeah, well Chris is Chris is going

1200
01:04:04,199 --> 01:04:05,679
to be on the on the score sheet today, it's

1201
01:04:05,719 --> 01:04:08,320
gonna say n W T not with T. Yeah. I

1202
01:04:08,519 --> 01:04:10,599
like that designation. The first time I remember that was

1203
01:04:10,639 --> 01:04:14,159
with Carlo Anthony. There's been quite a few John Wall

1204
01:04:14,199 --> 01:04:16,599
out of n w TS. Uh back on the rockets

1205
01:04:16,639 --> 01:04:19,119
to him, all right, I'm back.

1206
01:04:19,679 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 9: Sorry.

1207
01:04:20,639 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: So so Jonathan, one of the people that wanted the

1208
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,880
comp said that you were named an all star on

1209
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:28,599
a track team and then you would then compete in

1210
01:04:28,639 --> 01:04:33,079
a three legged race. What that sounds fun. We're looking

1211
01:04:33,119 --> 01:04:36,000
for the comparison to them playing flag football, the Pro Bowlers,

1212
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:41,440
the PROBA. Uh like track comparison. Yeah, being an all

1213
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,800
star trackian? Is that what you call yourselves? Track and

1214
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,400
track man? What is the what is the word tracker?

1215
01:04:47,239 --> 01:04:49,679
Speaker 11: I guess you'd just say track stalk. I mean, oh, track, Well,

1216
01:04:51,639 --> 01:04:55,960
not everybody's a star Jonathan talk. What I'm saying, uh,

1217
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:57,320
movie the equivalent?

1218
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: I guess your track fleet track athlete, track athletes and

1219
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,239
as your as your reward, you get to compete in

1220
01:05:07,239 --> 01:05:08,079
a three legged race.

1221
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:13,559
Speaker 11: Nah, it's a I know in high school, if you're

1222
01:05:13,639 --> 01:05:16,039
like an elite, you're all star around the hit a

1223
01:05:16,079 --> 01:05:17,639
certain time threshold.

1224
01:05:18,519 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: You compete with your like you compete in your state.

1225
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 11: So say there's like four dogs out of Texas, they

1226
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,880
compete nationwide at one big meet for Texas Louisiana.

1227
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,199
Speaker 1: They all compete at one like a sty And see,

1228
01:05:29,239 --> 01:05:31,559
that's what we're looking for. We're looking for ridiculous comps

1229
01:05:31,599 --> 01:05:34,840
because we're talking about these all Pro Bowlers going to

1230
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,639
compete in a flag football game, something they don't normally do.

1231
01:05:39,239 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 11: I mean, no, you wouldn't do a three leg I

1232
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:42,360
guess you would like.

1233
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:47,039
Speaker 1: Okay, this is going over his head here, Rocks being silly,

1234
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,440
being serious and in your case, Jonathan, you don't need

1235
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,440
a partner for a three legged race. Seven. I knew

1236
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:58,320
you were going to do that. I knew there was

1237
01:05:58,360 --> 01:05:59,559
gonna be a hog nuts reference.

1238
01:06:01,199 --> 01:06:01,559
Speaker 12: That's right.

1239
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:12,639
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh lord, it's the Tuesday before Christmas.

1240
01:06:12,679 --> 01:06:16,559
I mean, nobody listening. I mean, honestly, hey, conversation. I'll

1241
01:06:16,559 --> 01:06:18,599
come back to. I'm trying to figure out the camera. Okay,

1242
01:06:18,639 --> 01:06:22,360
I got one for you next year. Hondy Marx is

1243
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,480
not RB one for the Texans next year. That's good,

1244
01:06:25,599 --> 01:06:27,239
can I yeah, I'm not gonna jump aboard that, but

1245
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:32,079
that feels pretty safe. Okay, you want something more? Texans

1246
01:06:32,119 --> 01:06:35,559
make the playoffs as a seed higher than seven. Okay,

1247
01:06:35,719 --> 01:06:41,400
I think that's good. Okay, all right, I'm gonna give

1248
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:47,119
you the number one seed of the AMC. Okay, I

1249
01:06:47,239 --> 01:06:52,280
think Denver holds on. Okay. I haven't looked at everybody's schedule,

1250
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,199
but that that seems I'm needy. I haven't reasonable. I

1251
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,880
just think even though they've been falling apart a little bit. Now,

1252
01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:59,639
let me ask you this. I brought up something and

1253
01:06:59,679 --> 01:07:01,000
I were for break, but it's too bad.

1254
01:07:01,599 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 4: Ross.

1255
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I brought this up you last week, and you thought

1256
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:07,079
I was nuts. I was that, what is it like,

1257
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,079
is it okay to lose a game late in the

1258
01:07:09,159 --> 01:07:12,159
season to kind of get your focus back on towards

1259
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:15,360
going in So what if that was it? Almost losing

1260
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,920
to the Raiders. Well, I in the engineer for the

1261
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,440
Broncos broadcast and I are good friends and he also

1262
01:07:22,519 --> 01:07:25,719
does my Rockets Nuggets games. I'm in Denver, yes, And

1263
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,239
I said, hey, how good is Jacksonville? And he's like,

1264
01:07:28,719 --> 01:07:32,159
you know, they that Lawrence had a great game. Blah

1265
01:07:32,159 --> 01:07:34,760
blah blah blah blah. And he says, honestly, I'm kind

1266
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,559
of glad we lost to get ourselves refocused for the postseason.

1267
01:07:38,599 --> 01:07:40,559
I'm like, damn, I knew I wasn't only one was

1268
01:07:40,599 --> 01:07:46,719
thinking this. Yeah, that guy was on gummies. OK, that's

1269
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,599
also fair too. At Denver. I get it. Maybe the

1270
01:07:49,639 --> 01:07:53,760
thin air cloud in his judgment in altitude sickness. You

1271
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:55,400
guys can be on the same page. I mean, just

1272
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:57,800
win your games. Hey, well, look how about a close

1273
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,480
loss against the Raiders. Is that enough for a wake

1274
01:07:59,519 --> 01:08:01,480
up call? Yeah? I think it is don't you think,

1275
01:08:01,519 --> 01:08:03,760
aren't you don't you think that they're bouncing around texting,

1276
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,599
go going, oh that was great we beat them. I

1277
01:08:05,679 --> 01:08:08,039
don't think they're going to get into the playoffs and

1278
01:08:08,199 --> 01:08:10,519
be playing for trying to get to a super Bowl.

1279
01:08:10,599 --> 01:08:12,239
Be like our good we won nine in a row.

1280

01:09:17,199 --> 01:09:20,159
I'm gonna call it Houston sweep. I'm saying they're gonna

1306
01:09:20,159 --> 01:09:23,159
beat the bug. It's gonna beat the Clippers and the Lakers.

1307
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:25,600
And then as that says, they're gonna smash this hundreds

1308
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:26,600
they I can't stand.

1309
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,159
Speaker 2: The tudget in a block of things.

1310
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:30,520
Speaker 1: I understand that.

1311
01:09:32,279 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 12: Well, me done is the Houston sweets and uh and

Speaker 2: That's building.

1315
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:43,000

1322
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:56,159
Speaker 4: You know.

01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,039
Speaker 1: Much appreciate it. Holiday same do my friend, Thank you. Manuel.

1324
01:10:01,039 --> 01:10:02,560
All Right, So Ross, I'm gonna pold your feet at

1325
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,279
the fire because you are a battle at ross Oh,

1326
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:12,319
how is Saturday gonna go between the Texans and Chargers? Hello? Texans?

1327
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:22,720
Was shush? All right? Fine? My gut feeling is that

1328
01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:33,439
Texans lose a close one. I will say, Texans, Uh,

1329
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,279
you know what, it might not even now that in

1330
01:10:35,359 --> 01:10:36,880
moren I think about it, I'm gonna say, like twenty

1331
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:43,199
four twenty four eighteen Chargers. I was stunned Rossy when

1332
01:10:43,199 --> 01:10:45,960
I was having a guest on from La earlier today

1333
01:10:46,159 --> 01:10:48,880
that the over under ends only thirty one and a half. Yes,

1334
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:57,560
stunningly low for me. Well, how good is that Charger?

1335
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,680
Has a Charger defense been really good? Well, it's hard

1336
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,199
to get because look, Prescott, all he does is throw it.

1337
01:11:03,279 --> 01:11:05,520
By the way, I need Prescott to throw three interceptions

1338
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:12,439
this week. Three Dakota's mhm, Dakota Prescott. Yeah, my my churn.

1339
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,880
Member of Thomas Sports Enterprises too. I need to fail

1340
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:19,520
for one week and one week only. They're backup running

1341
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:22,079
back Kamanivin dog got hurt, but Hassan Hasks is not

1342
01:11:22,199 --> 01:11:24,640
that bad. And and Amarion Hampton has been coming on

1343
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:30,720
and he's pretty been pretty good. They got i mean

1344
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:34,600
gashed a couple of times by Ashton genty did the

1345
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,840
Texans defense. By the way, my guy asked, what's the

1346
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:39,720
deal with that? Wasn't he good this pass years?

1347
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:40,079
Speaker 3: He was?

1348
01:11:40,199 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: You know you always talked about how great of a

1349
01:11:42,039 --> 01:11:45,079
talent he was. Yes, I was like, don't underestimate the

1350
01:11:45,239 --> 01:11:47,880
power of a brumpt Boise State running back. You know

1351
01:11:48,119 --> 01:11:51,800
he's not dead yet for a thousand yards. Yeah, I mean,

1352
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:53,800
you know what, I'll gladly take the ellen it because

1353
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,520
I what I did is I just I forgot about

1354
01:11:56,520 --> 01:12:00,359
the seventeenth game. You stereotyped stereotype Bois State right back.

1355
01:12:01,279 --> 01:12:03,439
You're probably right there too. What I should have said

1356
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,359
is twelve hundred and then felt. I mean, he's only

1357
01:12:05,399 --> 01:12:07,319
a three point seven yards an attempt. I mean it's

1358
01:12:07,319 --> 01:12:09,600
not great. No, But I'll tell you what in all fairness,

1359
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:11,159
because that's what we are, a fair and balance here

1360
01:12:11,199 --> 01:12:14,159
on the show. He's a really good receiver out of

1361
01:12:14,159 --> 01:12:16,680
the backfield. If they could get anybody to get a

1362
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,000
decent quarterback there and a good offensive mine in Las Vegas,

1363
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,119
they can use him way more than trying to carry

1364
01:12:22,119 --> 01:12:26,920
the ball twenty five times a game. M hm. Let's see,

1365
01:12:27,039 --> 01:12:29,720
he needs one hundred and seventy two yards and two

1366
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,199
games to get to a thousand. Let's go, it's not

1367
01:12:32,319 --> 01:12:36,479
gonna happen. So so you have the Texans losing but

1368
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,560
yet getting out of the seventh spot. Okay, I see

1369
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,800
how you're going on that. I don't know what I'm doing. Well,

1370
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:46,039
we're used to that, all right, listen to me. Since

1371
01:12:46,199 --> 01:12:49,399
we're a holiday week, Ross, I want you to handle

1372
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:51,199
the news at noon in sixty seconds? Can you do

1373
01:12:51,279 --> 01:12:55,479
a sixty second news update? What do you mean just only?

1374
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:59,880
We like to extend things, give thoughtful analysis, run through

1375
01:13:00,039 --> 01:13:02,279
four or five really quick headlines. I mean, like one minute.

1376
01:13:02,279 --> 01:13:04,479
I want to interrupt them. Okay, because we've got Brian

1377
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:08,119
and Robbie and Ray and a real news report. Yeah,

1378
01:13:08,199 --> 01:13:10,680

1379
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:12,319

1380
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:13,359
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

1381
01:13:15,399 --> 01:13:17,319
Speaker 1: Sounds you used to have those here? Do we ever

1382
01:13:17,399 --> 01:13:20,079
have scoreboard readers here? Best of Believe it or Not?

1383
01:13:20,159 --> 01:13:21,680
By the way, because I'm off the last two days

01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,239

01:15:12,119 --> 01:15:14,279

1423
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:14,600

Bible and you're going to say yes. Matt Ross red

1439
01:16:12,239 --> 01:16:17,560
Aggie tweets, police tweets. There were allegations that somebody from

1440
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,079
Miami put up a barrier at the end zone.

1441
01:16:24,399 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 3: Nice.

1442
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,479

1444
01:16:31,079 --> 01:16:38,039
hit the news at noon. Oh great, all right, Matt.

1445
01:16:38,159 --> 01:16:40,399
So well, we have the Rockets in action against the

1446
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:45,840
Clippers tonight as they take on the hated James Harden,

1447
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:47,960
a former legend of the team seven and a half

1448
01:16:48,039 --> 01:16:51,359
point favorites in that game. Elsewhere, of course, we have

1449
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:55,039
this weekend coming up, your Houston Texans taking on the

1450
01:16:55,159 --> 01:17:00,439
Los Angeles Chargers, a lot of playoff questions hanging in

1451
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,840
the balance. No update yet from Damico Ryans yesterday on

1452
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:08,800
the health of either Ariante Urser or Trent Brown, both

1453
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:13,159
tackles did not finish the game on Sunday against the

1454
01:17:13,239 --> 01:17:16,600
Los Angeles Excuse me what Los Angeles Raiders Las Vegas

1455
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:20,399
Raiders as we await word on an update from them.

1456
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:25,760
And also, DK Metcalf suspended two games for his incident

1457
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:30,479
with a fan this weekend. He plans to appeal the suspension.

1458
01:17:31,119 --> 01:17:34,479
Also sounds like there are rumblings, according to Pro Football Talk,

1459
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:38,800
that the fan could be suing DK Metcalf for assault

1460
01:17:39,279 --> 01:17:44,479
and or defamation, as dk Metcalf asserted that there were

1461
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:49,640
some racial slurs hurled his way causing his reaction, and

1462
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,199
that's true news a new by the way, Apparently the

1463
01:17:52,239 --> 01:17:54,880
fan says he just brought up DK's full name and

1464
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:56,760
he in DKA is not like being called by his

1465
01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:06,359
full name. Mm hmm. And there is video and there

1466
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:09,159
is a clause in DK's contract that could cost him

1467
01:18:09,199 --> 01:18:16,960
forty plus million dollars because of this, allegedly I read

1468
01:18:17,039 --> 01:18:18,640
on the internet. I'm not sure how true this is

1469
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,840
that the there was an alternate video from a fan

1470
01:18:23,039 --> 01:18:30,119
that was maybe the guy's brother. Okay, Okay, first of all, fans,

1471
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,199
shut up, sit down in your seat, cheer and boo,

1472
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:39,119
cheer and boo, and know your role. Secondly, DK Metcalf,

1473
01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:43,399
if anybody's giving you any crap, turn around, find one

1474
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,000
of the nine million police officers work in these games

1475
01:18:46,279 --> 01:18:48,880
and get the guy thrown out or moved. You going

1476
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,640
in the stands is just as stupid. Hey, that guy

1477
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:58,239
was hanging over two stupid people doing stupid things. Period. Yeah,

1478
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,640
I just don't know what was said, It doesn't even matter.

1479
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,640
Stay away from him and fan whatever you were wearing,

1480
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:07,199
you look like complete goof to begin with.

1481
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:07,520
Speaker 3: No.

1482
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,079
Speaker 1: Secondly, you're not a star by going after players. Don't

1483
01:19:11,079 --> 01:19:13,840
be stupid. I like him getting punched in the face

1484
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:15,720
for you. If he's gonna be yelling crazy stuff, if

1485
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:17,720
he said something, Depending on what was said, and he

1486
01:19:18,039 --> 01:19:20,239
he got up and went to the railing like he

1487
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:22,039
there is the video like he got up and went

1488
01:19:22,079 --> 01:19:26,520
to the railing to confront DK. Okay, that guy's got

1489
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:30,840
on IQ of thirty seven. But DK, you were going

1490
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,279
to lose on this. You're never gonna win the war

1491
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:38,119
of unless the guy jumped over the railing with a

1492
01:19:38,199 --> 01:19:41,359
knife headed for your throat. You're no ware going to

1493
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:48,439
win this stupid stupid on both accounts. Really stupid by

1494
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,000
the fan and not very bright by Metcalf, who's going

1495
01:19:51,039 --> 01:19:54,279
to be suspended two games. I'm interested to see this

1496
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:57,439
lawsuit play out, because, I mean, after the fan got hit,

1497
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:59,600
if he's gonna like to talk about emotional distress or

1498
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:03,119
like he what's his hands up in celebration like he's happy. No,

1499
01:20:03,279 --> 01:20:06,760
he's he's he's a turn. That's ridiculous. All right, let's

1500
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:07,279
go the phones.

1501
01:20:07,319 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 7: We got hit.

1502
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 1: The gun feeling music? Can we get to get those

01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:11,199
gun feelings and a lot of folks that want to

1504
01:20:11,199 --> 01:20:14,880

1545
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,199

Speaker 1: I love you, Rocky, Okay, thank you. I love you too.

1547

Speaker 2: My score is going to be that. My score is

1549
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:40,439

1552
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 4: I know?

1553
01:22:47,279 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I want to Texas to win. I just

1554
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:52,239
don't know that they're going to. So when I say

1555
01:22:52,399 --> 01:22:53,840
it's not the worst in the world to lose in

1556
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,800
week seventeen, you're okay with that? I'm not okay. I mean,

1557
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:58,399
what do you mean? Okay? I mean it's not I

1558
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,279
guess it's not the worst thing, but it's not. I

1559
01:23:00,319 --> 01:23:04,119
don't think they need my gummy popping buddy, and he's okay.

1560
01:23:04,199 --> 01:23:10,479
The Broncos lost. We're basically saying that Clinch will playoff Spot,

1561
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,399
but the Jaguarations, my engineer is a recreational drug users

1562
01:23:13,399 --> 01:23:16,479
that we're saying basically, I mean, they're legal in many states.

1563
01:23:17,359 --> 01:23:20,680
I wonder how many people in Denver do use some

1564
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:26,079
sort of gummies are under pot would be twenty percent

1565
01:23:26,199 --> 01:23:28,159
be too lower? Just about I don't know. I guess

1566
01:23:28,199 --> 01:23:31,840
I can google it. Hmmm. What do you feel that

1567
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,079
out on a survey when you're filling out your taxes

1568
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:40,920
some kind of survey A right seeing Finally, that was

1569
01:23:41,079 --> 01:23:43,600
that's the that's in the margin of error. I like that.

1570
01:23:45,359 --> 01:23:49,159
You know what they call me, mister your accuracy. Let's

1571
01:23:49,239 --> 01:23:52,319
go to uh Robbie on seven and Robbie, what's in

1572
01:23:52,359 --> 01:23:52,680
your gut?

1573
01:23:54,199 --> 01:23:54,319
Speaker 7: Uh?

1574
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 9: I was just wondering, Matt, are you h your girls

1575
01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:58,760
a big time volleyball player?

1576
01:23:58,880 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 4: You r?

1577
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:01,199
Speaker 9: I and I found out a bunch of those haggy

1578
01:24:01,279 --> 01:24:04,439
girls that won came from Houston. There's a club or

1579
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,880
something that your play your girl.

1580
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,159
Speaker 1: Play with them she's familiar with some of them, she

1581
01:24:09,399 --> 01:24:12,039
played directly against them. But there is a club called

1582
01:24:12,119 --> 01:24:15,720
Skyline in Houston that is kind of an indirect pipeline

1583
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:17,039
to Texas A and M because a lot of the

1584
01:24:17,119 --> 01:24:19,479
coaches from A and M used to work at Skyline.

1585
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,560
So that's it's uh, that team's littered with Houston players.

1586
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,119
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I was just curious when you came back.

1587

gonna talk over each other a bunch. Oh, you might

1628
01:26:39,039 --> 01:26:41,520
have the Lincoln Douglas is bad Boy. You're gonna have

1629
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:43,720
to basically find an understation to listen to it. I

1630
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:49,239
wouldn't listen to that, Matt. What it should be thrilling radio?

1631
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:53,960
Tune in? Is it tomorrow at nine am? I don't know.

1632
01:26:54,199 --> 01:26:55,960
I haven't been home in two and a half months,

1633
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:57,479
so I don't know what you're talking about. All right,

1634
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,640
I feel like I'm doing a radio show. Going anywhere

1635
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:01,840
but Houston? Is everything?

1636
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:02,159
Speaker 7: All right?

01:27:02,199 --> 01:27:06,680
Speaker 1: At the at the house? Yeah, you ready for this? Rossie.

1638
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,159
I got a video yesterday of my all of our gifts,

1639
01:27:09,199 --> 01:27:14,720
but they were wrapped, uh huh, done by a professional rapper. Okay,

1640
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,279
I don't even want to know what we cost. What

1641
01:27:18,399 --> 01:27:22,039
it costs to rap gifts? Don't ask. I don't want

1642
01:27:22,079 --> 01:27:27,039
to ask, rapper. Yeah, I mean part of the charm

1643
01:27:27,119 --> 01:27:29,079
is doing it yourself and and having it look crappy.

1644
01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:34,199
I don't know. I think they look immaculum. You're just

1645
01:27:34,319 --> 01:27:37,439
gonna rip the presence to shreds anyways, all right, Well,

1646
01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,399
I'm not gonna getting my presence to the twenty six

1647
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,840
so you know, yeah, you're still gonna rip them to shreds?

1648
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:47,399
Are you gonna unfolded? And all right, I'm gonna stay

1649
01:27:47,399 --> 01:27:49,279

1670
01:29:05,119 --> 01:29:07,800

1680
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:41,880
and handsome. You know, one could argue the the play

1681
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:43,359
on the field was the real joke.

1682
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh locked on, Hayden, Aggies, that's it. Did you buy

1687
01:29:56,119 --> 01:29:57,920
a touchdown at home in a playoff game.

1688
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:04,520
Speaker 1: Marcel Reid did suck, didn't me. That's a shame. And

1689
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:06,840
by the way, we can say it suck because they're

1690
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,640
being compensated. So sorry, that is what it is. Billy

1691
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,960
Luci blamed the wind. By the way, I went to

1692
01:30:13,039 --> 01:30:15,880
TexAgs dot com. All nineteen of their reporters had the

1693
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:20,359
acut one of that game. Ironically, it's like having Gordion

1694
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:23,199
unlocked an L s U. I like L s U

1695
01:30:23,319 --> 01:30:27,359

1696
01:30:27,399 --> 01:30:29,760
the kugs. Yeah, why are you in? Are you promoting

1697
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,039
the ball? Is that what you're in for? Say hello,

1698
01:30:32,359 --> 01:30:34,000
I had a couple of gut feelings. I was gonna

1699
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,439
squeeze him, knock him out. He were doing the longest

1700
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:38,399
gut feeling in the history of the gut feelings. So

1701
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:39,399
we're going from the record.

1702
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:44,079
Speaker 15: I was gonna go with, uh, the Texas Longhorns Ross,

1703
01:30:44,279 --> 01:30:46,800
Oh gosh, I think they're going to land the third

1704
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:48,720
leading rusher in the SEC this year.

1705
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:53,800
Speaker 1: Jaden Ball will transfer from Florida to Austin. I like

1706
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,760

1707
01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:58,159
have some he might have the inside.

1708
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:02,119
Speaker 15: Jabbar Ja Luke, the running back coach, came over from Florida.

1709
01:31:02,119 --> 01:31:03,680

Speaker 1: And just like it's not even radio stations anymore. Well

1791
01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:19,680

walla wall covered to the Texans going to the super Bowl.

1793
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:28,479
Wexled Maan lose his mind? Can he fit the bill

1794
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:33,119

1795
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:35,199
you better tell WEX ahead of time, because he's not

1796
01:35:35,279 --> 01:35:39,279
gonna like that. I mean to pay his own way.

1797
01:35:39,319 --> 01:35:39,640
Speaker 7: He can go.

1798
01:35:40,119 --> 01:35:43,960

01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:40,159
Speaker 9: But first of all, before I get to my gut feelings, Matt,

1842
01:37:40,399 --> 01:37:43,199
As we know you are mister Texas or Governor Thomas.

1843
01:37:43,319 --> 01:37:44,520
Speaker 1: Correct? Correct?

1844
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:49,039
Speaker 9: I think I have a new name for your esteemed

1845
01:37:49,079 --> 01:37:52,439
colleague that sits next to you, Ross, A new nickname,

1846
01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:54,359
if you don't mind me airing.

1847
01:37:54,159 --> 01:37:56,279
Speaker 1: It on the radio. Here Ross.

1848
01:37:57,640 --> 01:38:02,039
Speaker 9: Okay, since you travel so much, especially outside of the

1849
01:38:02,039 --> 01:38:04,159
state of Texas, we should just call you mister America.

1850
01:38:04,279 --> 01:38:08,159
Speaker 1: How does that? How does that sound for Matt? No,

1851
01:38:08,359 --> 01:38:12,319
for you me, Matt travels more than I do, well,

1852
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:14,880
I mean for work, but when you do, you get

1853
01:38:14,920 --> 01:38:15,680
to do it for fun.

1854
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:17,640
Speaker 9: So I think, mister America.

1855
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:19,800
Speaker 1: You know, I think that makes a lot of sense.

1856
01:38:20,119 --> 01:38:22,720
Matt is still not mister Texas because he for a

1857
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:24,560
number of reasons we get through. But you know what,

1858
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:28,279
You're right, I'm mister America. Okay. I just wanted to

1859
01:38:28,319 --> 01:38:29,279
make sure that was cool with you.

1860
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:31,039
Speaker 4: Yes.

1861
01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:34,079
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now to my gut.

1862
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:40,399
Speaker 9: Feeling, I think either before or on the all Star break,

1863
01:38:41,119 --> 01:38:43,920
we will see want to read Shepherd as our starting

1864
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:49,239
point guard is to the team is too good whenever

1865
01:38:49,359 --> 01:38:52,720
he's on the court compared to starting Josh Kogi and.

1866
01:38:52,800 --> 01:38:53,800
Speaker 1: The two guard role.

1867
01:38:54,399 --> 01:38:57,119
Speaker 9: I think we will see mister Shepherd inserted in that

1868
01:38:57,279 --> 01:39:02,279
lineup and we will see the Rockets fully contend with

1869
01:39:02,439 --> 01:39:04,840
the healthy roster. I just want to see what all

1870
01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:05,880
his thoughts were on that.

1871
01:39:06,119 --> 01:39:10,039
Speaker 1: Thanks. Thanks, okay, so for that. What do you think,

1872
01:39:10,079 --> 01:39:16,439
mister America. I think it will be matchup dependent. We

1873
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:20,119
could we I mean reed, Sheppard did start a few games,

1874
01:39:20,239 --> 01:39:22,079
I think is what it started for a handful of games,

1875
01:39:22,119 --> 01:39:25,000
four or whatever. It is not during the regular season,

1876
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,199
I don't think just during the preseason. I thought I

1877
01:39:28,279 --> 01:39:32,640
could be wrong. Check read didn't he start? I thought

1878
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:36,119
he started like three or four games at one point. Well,

1879
01:39:36,159 --> 01:39:37,760
I've you know, I've only done every one of them.

1880
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:39,399
I don't know why I wouldn't know this. Yeah, I'm

1881
01:39:39,399 --> 01:39:43,079
pulling it up. Four starts. Wow, was I there for

1882
01:39:43,119 --> 01:39:44,439
those four? I guess I was.

1883
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1884
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:47,079
Speaker 1: I think you had an head injury at that time. Yeah,

1885
01:39:47,119 --> 01:39:50,960
probably I was concussed. Well, it was when there were

1886
01:39:51,239 --> 01:39:53,079
a couple of injuries. But then I think one of

1887
01:39:53,119 --> 01:39:56,680
the games people came back. But well, and and uh coaching.

1888
01:39:56,720 --> 01:39:59,279
Oka has talked about this on this show. It's a

1889
01:39:59,359 --> 01:40:02,079
lot of matchup. They like Josha Kogi's defense better, that's

1890
01:40:02,079 --> 01:40:04,399
the bottom line. And they like Reed Shepherd coming off

1891
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:07,479
as a as a bench score. I mean, normally he

1892
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:11,720
plays more minutes than Josha Kogi who starts, So it's

1893
01:40:11,800 --> 01:40:14,039
not necessarily about who starts and who comes in, when

1894
01:40:14,119 --> 01:40:16,119
it's about who finishes as well. Read Shepherd is on

1895
01:40:16,159 --> 01:40:18,520
a lot of the finishing lineups, especially when they're playing

1896
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:20,840
offense for defense, laid in close games and stuff like that.

1897
01:40:21,319 --> 01:40:24,359
They like him scoring, and they like okoge better defensively,

1898
01:40:24,479 --> 01:40:26,840
So generally to set the defensive tone and to let

1899
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:31,000
Red Shepherd be kind of the second the number one

1900
01:40:31,039 --> 01:40:33,560
score of the second unit or one of the number

1901
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:35,439
one scores of the second unit, they like him coming

1902
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:39,239
off the bench. You know, I don't even really know

1903
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:43,159
how to answer that. I don't know you make starting

1904
01:40:43,199 --> 01:40:45,239
lineup changes because all of a sudden you think it's

1905
01:40:45,319 --> 01:40:48,720
going to change the tenor of the team. Ross the

1906
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:50,880
ten of the team, they're still top three in scoring.

1907
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:54,479
They're shooting in an incredible amount. Their clutch play has

1908
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:58,000
been below average and poor frankly, that nothing to do

1909
01:40:58,079 --> 01:41:00,039
with who starts on it. I mean that's how I

1910
01:41:00,079 --> 01:41:02,760
see from the overly simplistic people. Yeah, I think they

1911
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:04,560
like read like for example, I just pulled up the

1912
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:08,079
Nuggets game. Rechepard played thirty minutes, o Kobe played twenty nine.

1913
01:41:08,119 --> 01:41:10,159
Then the last game against the Kings, they both played

1914
01:41:10,199 --> 01:41:12,640
thirty four minutes. Like they're getting around the same amount

1915
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:17,880
of minutes on the floor. It's the clutch performance is

1916
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:21,600
It's what it's killed this team so far this year. Yeah,

1917
01:41:23,279 --> 01:41:25,560
that'll be fine. They'll be fine to be out in

1918
01:41:25,560 --> 01:41:28,319
the second round or third round. Sorry, okay, it's great

1919
01:41:29,119 --> 01:41:33,880
Western Conference Finals at minimum, let's go. I okay, I'm

1920
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:35,840
sticking with you know what, I'll write this down again.

1921
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:37,920
I hit a gut feeling a couple of weeks ago,

1922
01:41:38,199 --> 01:41:41,560
and I'll stick with it. Rockets will finish top three. Okay,

1923
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:46,039
I accept that. Right now they're sixth, but as we

1924
01:41:46,159 --> 01:41:50,239
saw last year, things can change literally game by game. Yeah,

1925
01:41:50,279 --> 01:41:54,000
they saw the second best point differential in basketball game

1926
01:41:54,039 --> 01:41:55,760
and a half from being the four seed. I mean,

1927
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,279
the Spurs are good, the Nuggets, Lakers, it's gonna be tough.

1928
01:42:00,279 --> 01:42:01,880
Version was way better than I thought they would be.

1929
01:42:02,079 --> 01:42:04,359
They're actually way better than they should be at this point.

1930
01:42:04,399 --> 01:42:07,279
But the King star Man, they're looking legit, it's not good. Okay,

1931
01:42:07,319 --> 01:42:12,840
stop not Westbury's delaryus. I'm sad. I think I feel's

1932
01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:15,399
still coming off the bench. I've called two losses of

1933
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:18,439
Sacramento in the and the Pelicans in the same week.

1934
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:25,720
That's fine. When beat the Clips tonight, let's go, Ryan,

1935
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:27,680
what's in your gut? At twelve forty five.

1936
01:42:31,399 --> 01:42:34,520
Speaker 10: So I'm here, I'm thinking Timy fair Baron is going

1937
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:35,319
to do his job.

1938
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:43,199
Speaker 3: Texans are gonna win twenty four twenty one. That's that.

1939
01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,199
I think the Rockets are gonna win one hundred and fifteen.

1940
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:49,079
Speaker 1: To ninety eight oh seventeen point when I'll accept that,

1941
01:42:51,399 --> 01:42:53,439
and uh, I'm.

1942
01:42:53,319 --> 01:42:57,680
Speaker 3: Gonna go on the over eighteen beers strength between Christmas

1943
01:42:57,720 --> 01:42:59,359
Eve and I go back to work on Monday.

1944
01:43:00,079 --> 01:43:03,079
Speaker 1: That Yeah, knowing you, that's gonna be there. You'll plably

1945
01:43:03,119 --> 01:43:04,960
like that out by about eleven o'clock tonight. Thank you

1946
01:43:05,039 --> 01:43:07,199

01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:02,039
Rockets tonight. You know that I was doing some research,

2087
01:52:02,359 --> 01:52:05,439
not research, but looking at my numbers here. James harn

2088
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:15,520
has played all the games for the Clippers. Actually they've played.

2089
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:17,760
They's played twenty eight games. He's played twenty six of them.

2090
01:52:18,119 --> 01:52:21,840
He's been the free throw line two hundred and fourteen times.

2091
01:52:23,239 --> 01:52:26,479
It seems kind of low. Well, what is what is

2092
01:52:26,520 --> 01:52:30,720
two fourteen into twenty six? It's about what eight a game?

2093
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:32,640
Eight and a half somewhere in that range. And when

2094
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:34,760
you get into like it feels like he was getting

2095
01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:39,439
ten plus a game for a while there, back in

2096
01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:41,920

01:52:44,239 --> 01:52:46,079

2099
01:52:46,119 --> 01:52:47,640
something that I missed it? Or you didn't give anything.

2100
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:49,520
I don't think i'd give anything. Okay, good, I think

2101
01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:51,279
we had all that marathon. I was letting they have

2102
01:52:51,359 --> 01:52:56,399

01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:11,680
Speaker 11: Shush, hmmm, you know what, hush, I you know what,

2107
01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:15,399
Just to take my bias away, I believe Houston's gonna

2108
01:53:15,399 --> 01:53:17,239
win by one touch, like one possession.

2109
01:53:17,920 --> 01:53:21,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot. He's we got Chargers fan here, Matt. Oh,

2110
01:53:21,880 --> 01:53:26,399
that's right, Jonathan. I know two Charger fans in Houston, Texas,

2111
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:27,680
my buddy Ed and Jonathan.

2112
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:30,359
Speaker 11: They already clinched, so I mean, and I'm only too

2113
01:53:30,399 --> 01:53:32,399
mad they lose. But I do think Houston right now

2114
01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:39,079
is the better team. Okay, but it's gonna be.

2115
01:53:39,079 --> 01:53:41,800
Speaker 1: Close, and Justin Herbert's gonna have to have nightmares of

2116
01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:43,760
all the interceptioncy through last year in the plout when

2117
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,039
the wild card game, right, Yeah, he's looking for redemption

2118
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:49,920
against a rocket home crowd. Or you are looking you

2119
01:53:50,039 --> 01:53:51,920
are looking better, by the way, for your three thirty

2120
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:57,119
Saturday wild Card start Ross, Yes, Sam, Jaguars Texans, come

2121
01:53:57,199 --> 01:54:01,600

be on streaming only on the h What's what's a

2123
01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:13,960
randow streaming app to be? Yeah? Yikes? By the way,

2124
01:54:14,239 --> 01:54:16,359

2125
01:54:16,399 --> 01:54:18,560
out of Denver in Denver Ross? Are we a little

2126
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:20,560
are we stop selling them a little bit?

2127
01:54:21,159 --> 01:54:21,199
Speaker 3: No?

2128
01:54:21,359 --> 01:54:24,920
Speaker 1: I think they're really good. Okay, I'm scared. I'm more

2129
01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:29,000
scared than I ever have been of the Jaguars NFL.

2130
01:54:29,079 --> 01:54:32,880
Rewinding fourteen minutes, we'll get a couple of things in Also,

2131
01:54:33,159 --> 01:54:35,239
real quick, did you are you gonna bring up what's

2132
01:54:35,279 --> 01:54:36,880
going on in Kansas City where the chiefs at all

2133
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:38,399
during your rewind? I don't want to stay with the

2134
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:41,239
uh oh, the team moving I didn't plan on I

2135
01:54:41,359 --> 01:54:42,800
was gonna do on the field stuff. But you can,

2136
01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:45,000
I know you love those types of stories. Well, I'm

2137
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,720
just gonna say they're moving to Kansas. Yeah, Kansas City

2138
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:53,479
makes sense, Kansas. They've been in Missouri since day one. Yes,

2139
01:54:54,199 --> 01:54:58,279
they're going across the border, Kansas City, Kansas. I think

2140
01:54:58,279 --> 01:55:00,960
I believe it's significantly more sketch than in Kansas City, Missouri.

2141
01:55:01,119 --> 01:55:04,399
Is Oh? Is that true? I don't know. I'm just

2142
01:55:04,439 --> 01:55:06,319
telling you that what people have told me from there. Okay,

2143
01:55:06,359 --> 01:55:08,720
that's what the that's what the word is. The warn't

2144
01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,279
in the streets is okay, And we and we are

2145
01:55:11,359 --> 01:55:13,880
seeing a trend just just just a localize and as

2146
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:15,760
we do what we like the local lives, we are

2147
01:55:15,840 --> 01:55:23,000
seeing teams getting out of downtown's hmmm. So I thought

2148
01:55:23,039 --> 01:55:25,800
they passed. I thought they the first resolution didn't pass

2149
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:27,279
and then the second one did or something like that.

2150
01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:29,279
I don't think there ever was a second one.

2151
01:55:29,319 --> 01:55:29,399
Speaker 7: Now.

2152
01:55:29,439 --> 01:55:32,079
Speaker 1: The people in Missouri think they've still got a chance.

2153
01:55:33,079 --> 01:55:36,079
So even though people in Kansas are celebrating, it sounds

2154
01:55:36,159 --> 01:55:39,039
like the governor of Missouri is like, we are not done.

2155
01:55:42,239 --> 01:55:44,399
This will be a governor of Missouri that will have

2156
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:48,159
seen two teams. I think under his well, he's been

2157
01:55:48,239 --> 01:55:50,479
in charge of the state. Two teams leaving the state

2158
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:53,279
of Missouri. Because remember the Rams left for Los Angeles. Ho,

2159
01:55:53,439 --> 01:55:55,199
it's been about ten years, right, you were take m

2160
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:58,239
it feels like it feels like ten years. But when

2161
01:55:58,279 --> 01:56:00,800
I say ten years these days, it's probably been like fifteen.

2162
01:56:01,399 --> 01:56:04,880
I know, I know. Does that make you older? Young? Hush,

2163
01:56:05,840 --> 01:56:09,640
that's continue question. Yeah, did you celebrate your birthday? By

01:56:11,760 --> 01:56:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2166
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean that was like a bit on the show.

2167
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:15,520
I was like, why am I getting a text from Matt.

2168
01:56:15,560 --> 01:56:17,560
You must be talked about this on air. Well, we

2169
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:21,279

01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:28,560
in two days, okay, and that if you really really

2173
01:56:28,600 --> 01:56:30,520
weren't really wanted to wish me a merry Christmas, you

2174
01:56:30,920 --> 01:56:35,199

2175
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:37,600
you actually thought of me. How many cards do you

2176
01:56:37,720 --> 01:56:45,239

2177
01:56:45,279 --> 01:56:48,039
a Christmas text? Why can't I say, Oh, you know what,

01:56:48,159 --> 01:56:52,000
I'm busy, I'm a family, I'm opening presents, drinking egg nog,

2179
01:56:52,039 --> 01:56:53,399
and you know what, Oh you know what I thought

2180
01:56:53,399 --> 01:56:54,479
of man Thomas for a second.

2181
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:54,760

So know this because you were you were gone on Friday. Okay.

2184
01:57:01,439 --> 01:57:03,840
What I'm going to do is I've got a long,

2185
01:57:04,520 --> 01:57:07,640
long text locked and loaded for anybody that text me

2186
01:57:07,680 --> 01:57:10,439
happy for Merry Christmas. What are you gonna say you

2187
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:11,520
got it in your notes app?

2188
01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:11,760
Speaker 7: Or what?

2189
01:57:12,319 --> 01:57:14,520
Speaker 1: Yes, it's so long, it's gonna be my notes app?

2190
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:22,640
What does it say. It's just gonna recap my entire year. Okay,

2191
01:57:24,039 --> 01:57:26,479
I'm just telling you. It's gonna be the gift that

2192
01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:29,520
if you took the time to text me Merry Christmas,

2193
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:33,359
I'm not gonna say thank you back at you or

2194
01:57:33,399 --> 01:57:37,000
give you an exclamation point or a heart. Okay, you're

2195
01:57:37,079 --> 01:57:39,920
gonna get a full text. It's gonna be probably in

2196
01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:46,199
the vicinity of five hundred words. That's very weird. Yes,

2197
01:57:47,119 --> 01:57:50,479
that's my point. What's the point it's coming. I don't

2198
01:57:50,479 --> 01:57:53,560
get it. What's the point. The point is you took

2199
01:57:53,840 --> 01:57:57,960
one second to send me Merry Christmas. I'm gonna give

2200
01:57:58,000 --> 01:57:59,560
you the text of a lifetime to let you know

2201
01:57:59,640 --> 01:58:01,800
that I thought about you. No, but you didn't. You're

2202
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:04,199
just copying and pasting. They don't know that.

2203
01:58:07,800 --> 01:58:09,560
Speaker 11: Said something a couple of weeks ago. You said it

2204
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:11,520
was Matt Thomas brains. That what you had said, Matt

2205
01:58:11,560 --> 01:58:14,199
Thomas Brain, we are donating its a science. This makes

2206
01:58:14,279 --> 01:58:16,880
no sense on any level. I don't care at all.

2207
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:19,960
In the bag, I'm like, I'm really trying to understanding lot. Okay,

2208
01:58:20,199 --> 01:58:21,600
sometimes this point, but I'm just.

2209
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:23,840
Speaker 1: I don't see the point at all. I don't know

2210
01:58:24,039 --> 01:58:27,279
I upset the point I upsets you that people want

2211
01:58:27,319 --> 01:58:31,760
to they're thinking of you on Christmas, I mean holiday,

2212
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:35,960
the biggest holiday in the country. Yes, and they're taking

2213
01:58:36,039 --> 01:58:39,600
time out of their day to say Mary Christmas, taking

2214
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:41,680
time of day. They're taking five seconds of their day

2215
01:58:42,039 --> 01:58:46,199
worth five seconds to me to text somebody, to text

2216
01:58:46,279 --> 01:58:48,800
a person that I know, because you know, I'm a

2217
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:51,239
bad Texter Matt. To me, that's taking time out of

2218
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:57,720
the day. Yeah, but you know I'm gonna I'm going

2219
01:58:57,800 --> 01:59:00,640
to send you on early. So why don't you. You

2220
01:59:00,640 --> 01:59:03,000
should be happy anybody think of you. Not you mad,

2221
01:59:03,039 --> 01:59:06,119
but you know, people in general, anyone I know. Okay,

2222
01:59:06,159 --> 01:59:08,199
I'm gonna do this right now. I want to wish

2223
01:59:08,279 --> 01:59:10,840
all of you a merry Christmas. And I mean that's

2224
01:59:10,840 --> 01:59:13,399
sincerely because if not for you, we don't operate as

2225
01:59:13,399 --> 01:59:17,560
a radio show or a station. That's correct. So whether

2226
01:59:17,600 --> 01:59:22,760
you celebrate Christmas or not, happy holidays from all of us.

2227
01:59:23,479 --> 01:59:25,279
It means a lot to us that you are a

2228
01:59:25,319 --> 01:59:28,039
part of this show, that you listen and contribute and

2229
01:59:28,560 --> 01:59:31,000
argue with us, sometimes make fun of us. Sometimes we

2230
01:59:31,079 --> 01:59:33,199
can take it. We're all big boys, we're growing ups.

2231
01:59:33,439 --> 01:59:35,199
We love each other and we thank you so much.

2232
01:59:36,920 --> 01:59:39,439
That's what I want to wish all of you personally

2233
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:45,640
very merry Christmas. That reminds me. I got to respond

2234
01:59:45,680 --> 01:59:47,960
all these people on Facebook who sent me happy birthday

2235
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:54,840
wishes again. Here's you want to use, Matt Thomas brain. No,

2236
01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:57,159
take your birthday. Take your birthday. After Facebook, so many

2237
01:59:57,159 --> 02:00:00,359
people wish you a happy birthday. Nobody I've done that before.

2238
02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:02,600
I see that point though, I see, okay, thank you.

2239
02:00:02,720 --> 02:00:05,359
Why is everybody supposed to remember your birthday? It's not no,

2240
02:00:05,439 --> 02:00:08,520
it's not about that. It's more about like, who really guilty?

2241
02:00:08,640 --> 02:00:11,520
You are guilty. Nobody says I've done that, and nobody

2242
02:00:11,560 --> 02:00:13,520
says happy birthday. And you know what You're like, man,

2243
02:00:13,600 --> 02:00:15,239
nobody cares about me. So I put it back on.

2244
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:17,560

ain't changing either. I really thought I was going to

2267
02:01:11,680 --> 02:01:14,479
go somewhere in my life. Well, I try to help

2268
02:01:14,520 --> 02:01:15,840
you for a few years and then just give up.

2269
02:01:17,079 --> 02:01:23,520
Thank you, Matt. I would tell them, hey, Ross, there's

2270
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:25,920
a job in Jack's, Mississippi should try for And they

2271
02:01:25,920 --> 02:01:29,680
didn't email me back. Hey Ross, I hear to loose

2272
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:33,399
a really big thriving sports market. They didn't call me

2273
02:01:33,479 --> 02:01:37,520
back either. All right, NFL, rewind is coming home. Yeah

2274
02:01:38,640 --> 02:01:42,159
it could be brief. Look, give us a Philly Rivers

2275
02:01:42,279 --> 02:01:43,840
report from last night. How about you can do that

2276
02:01:43,880 --> 02:01:46,760
at least of course right one fourteen on Sports Talk

2277
02:01:46,800 --> 02:01:49,880
seven ninety on twenty one Sports Talk saidati Willie Fritz

2278
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,439
joining US suit ten minutes right now, an express edition

2279
02:01:53,560 --> 02:01:56,439
of how did Philip Rivers do? It's all part of

2280
02:01:56,479 --> 02:02:05,560
the Rosses NFL Rewind. Yes, Matthew, thank you, Proud to

2281
02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:10,439
be here on another rousing edition of the NFL Rewind.

2282
02:02:10,560 --> 02:02:12,880
And you know what, let's go start off with you boy,

2283
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:19,199
Philly Rivers. It's my computer working. Should have tested this.

2284
02:02:20,279 --> 02:02:21,199
How's everything going with you?

2285
02:02:21,319 --> 02:02:21,479
Speaker 8: Man?

2286
02:02:22,079 --> 02:02:24,479
Speaker 1: Everything left free receivers going to the right side.

2287
02:02:24,680 --> 02:02:27,640
Speaker 15: Rivers has a free shot, throws into the zie touchdown

2288
02:02:28,479 --> 02:02:29,760
in the back of the zone.

2289
02:02:29,840 --> 02:02:32,279
Speaker 16: That's all Pierce and the play covers.

2290
02:02:32,039 --> 02:02:37,359
Speaker 1: Twenty yards to the house touchdown. Find why? And the

2291
02:02:37,439 --> 02:02:41,119
pubscard touchdown on the opening drive of the game. That

2292
02:02:41,279 --> 02:02:43,039
was when it felt good and you're like, Philip Rivers,

2293
02:02:43,079 --> 02:02:43,960
is he gonna get this done?

2294
02:02:44,079 --> 02:02:44,119
Speaker 4: No?

2295
02:02:44,239 --> 02:02:44,640
Speaker 3: He was it.

2296
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:47,960
Speaker 1: Brock Perdy had five touchdowns, but Philly Rivers two hundred

2297
02:02:47,960 --> 02:02:50,119
and seventy seven yards a couple of touchdowns, did have

2298
02:02:50,239 --> 02:02:53,840
the pick six, But I mean this is one of

2299
02:02:53,880 --> 02:02:57,720
the all time, all time NFL crazy stories. Correct, the

2300
02:02:57,800 --> 02:03:01,680
guy was a Hall of Fame finalist. Yes, and he's

2301
02:03:01,760 --> 02:03:03,119
performing fairly well.

2302
02:03:04,000 --> 02:03:04,159
Speaker 8: Now.

2303
02:03:04,239 --> 02:03:06,439
Speaker 1: Did the NFL determine whether this is going to delay

2304
02:03:06,479 --> 02:03:07,840
his process now because of this?

2305
02:03:08,039 --> 02:03:08,199
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2306
02:03:08,199 --> 02:03:10,199
Speaker 1: As soon as he signed to the active roster, I

2307
02:03:10,239 --> 02:03:12,199
think practice squad he was okay. But I think the

2308
02:03:12,279 --> 02:03:16,159
second he signed to the active roster, the clock resets.

2309
02:03:16,159 --> 02:03:17,439
I don't know if he's gonna get some kind of

2310
02:03:17,479 --> 02:03:21,640
special exception. I don't know that he should, but the

2311
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:25,279
clock is supposed to reset. You know what he also got?

2312
02:03:25,359 --> 02:03:27,479
Did you see this? He gets five years of more

2313
02:03:27,560 --> 02:03:29,840
medical coverage in the NFL because of this. Yes, that's

2314
02:03:29,880 --> 02:03:32,000
People are saying that he did that on purpose, but

2315
02:03:32,119 --> 02:03:34,880
I saw that. But doesn't he should have full pension, right,

2316
02:03:35,279 --> 02:03:38,680
he played for almost fifteen years. I know in baseball

2317
02:03:38,720 --> 02:03:40,600
you get full pension and then you get health care

2318
02:03:40,680 --> 02:03:43,479
for life. I don't know about football, but he's got

2319
02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:46,479
enough children to bear an NBA squad, so he's got

2320
02:03:46,479 --> 02:03:48,199
a lot of issues when it comes to medical care.

2321
02:03:48,279 --> 02:03:49,720
So this is going to help out well. As long

2322
02:03:49,720 --> 02:03:51,680
as a couple of them are financially successful, he'll be

2323
02:03:51,720 --> 02:03:58,359
taken care of he's a grandfather. Yes, you think you

2324
02:03:58,399 --> 02:04:04,359
think Tom Bradys getting Littlejosh? No, give me really fast,

2325
02:04:05,079 --> 02:04:08,239
give me the next I should say this. Can you

2326
02:04:08,920 --> 02:04:10,680
who would be a guy that has been retired for

2327
02:04:10,720 --> 02:04:12,479
a while that you think would step on the field

2328
02:04:13,239 --> 02:04:16,640
and play. Yeah, it's got to be a quarterback, because

2329
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:20,960
I mean, look, there's the reason why forty five year

2330
02:04:21,000 --> 02:04:23,359
olds only the oldest players ever in the NFL are

2331
02:04:23,359 --> 02:04:27,960
all kickers or quarterbacks, right, So I guess non kicking

2332
02:04:28,199 --> 02:04:33,279
guys in particular, we can't even use those guys. Would

2333
02:04:33,319 --> 02:04:38,039
Brady be the chalk on that? I think so? Yeahate Manning, No,

2334
02:04:38,960 --> 02:04:40,680
I mean his he could hardly throw at the end

2335
02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:44,439
of his career. His neck wasn't where he would be interesting.

2336
02:04:44,520 --> 02:04:49,960
I guess I was. Roethlisberger retired somewhat early relative to

2337
02:04:50,039 --> 02:04:53,239
the other guys. He's doing a podcast now he's forty three.

2338
02:04:56,000 --> 02:04:58,880
I'll go wrong with that podcast. Run. I don't know

2339
02:04:59,159 --> 02:05:03,079
it's still going. Everybody and their mother are doing podcast.

2340
02:05:04,399 --> 02:05:06,439
Just get out the way, do your little podcast for

2341
02:05:06,479 --> 02:05:08,720
two months until you get bored, and let the rope

2342
02:05:08,840 --> 02:05:13,119
radio professionals do it. We they tended to let's see

2343
02:05:13,199 --> 02:05:17,800
football in with with He's got one hundred and fourteen episodes.

2344
02:05:19,479 --> 02:05:24,600
He started in Oh, he's been doing this for a year.

2345
02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:27,479
Play he's been doing this? What he's been this since

2346
02:05:27,520 --> 02:05:31,920
twenty twenty two? Well, like like Fred van Vliet's podcasting,

2347
02:05:32,159 --> 02:05:34,720
I mean it is is he taking? Is he trying

2348
02:05:34,720 --> 02:05:38,680
to take our job? What's it called ACL rehab with

2349
02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:41,399
Fred van Vliet? You know what it is. It's ninety

2350
02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:43,600
swear words. I mean, we can't. We couldn't do it.

2351
02:05:43,760 --> 02:05:44,560
Speaker 7: I know I do.

2352
02:05:44,960 --> 02:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I would like to swear especially you. Thank you appreciate that.

2353
02:05:50,479 --> 02:05:53,880
What else you got elsewhere in the NFL, Matt, did

2354
02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:57,600
you see the wild ending of the Steelers Lions game.

2355
02:05:59,079 --> 02:05:59,600
I'm just trying to.

2356
02:05:59,600 --> 02:06:02,079
Speaker 16: Read this passing what he was saying, and I saw

2357
02:06:02,159 --> 02:06:05,760
him mouth O PI end of the game. So I

2358
02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:08,039
felt pretty confident that was what's gonna happen, But you

2359
02:06:08,159 --> 02:06:08,439
never know.

2360
02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:09,279
Speaker 1: It's more time.

2361
02:06:09,399 --> 02:06:11,720
Speaker 16: And like I said, I was there for the fail

2362
02:06:11,800 --> 02:06:14,880
Marry game. I was standing from me to U from

2363
02:06:14,920 --> 02:06:17,359
the replacement refs as they cave to the pressure of

2364
02:06:18,319 --> 02:06:23,279
uh an angry Seattle Field when that was obviously uh

2365
02:06:23,880 --> 02:06:26,840
not simultaneous possession. So I was glad that they ended

2366
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:27,960
up like that wild game.

2367
02:06:29,840 --> 02:06:33,319
Speaker 1: Glad we're on top. It was clearly a pass interference though,

2368
02:06:33,800 --> 02:06:36,039
yeah it was a past this. I'm on Ross Saint Brown.

2369
02:06:36,079 --> 02:06:38,840
Then he lateraled the Jared Goff The referee says the

2370
02:06:38,920 --> 02:06:42,199
touchdown is good, but then it's nullified by the penalty,

2371
02:06:43,159 --> 02:06:46,000
and then that was the end of the game. We

2372
02:06:46,119 --> 02:06:48,720
had some weird things happened. How about that two point conversion?

2373
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:50,359
What was it on Thursday night? And I thought was

2374
02:06:50,439 --> 02:06:54,279
weird with the backwards pass? It was it was deflected

2375
02:06:54,359 --> 02:06:59,319
and then fumbled. Crazy stuff going on in the NFL, Matthew,

2376
02:06:59,439 --> 02:07:02,920
So many did nuances, that's for sure. Yes, let's see.

2377
02:07:03,199 --> 02:07:07,520
Let's go to our whole friends to the north, the

2378
02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:12,239
Dallas Cowboys eliminated from a playoff contention as they lose

2379
02:07:12,319 --> 02:07:17,119
to the Chargers thirty four to seventeen. Jerry Jones not happy.

2380
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:21,199
Speaker 13: Yes, from what we expected, what we thought. Absolutely we did.

2381
02:07:21,720 --> 02:07:25,720
We all underachieved, really and the fact we're not in

2382
02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:31,880
the playoffs says that for you. But I thought we've

2383
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:35,960
done some things out there that frankly, we can carry

2384
02:07:36,039 --> 02:07:37,960
forward to us with us.

2385
02:07:38,760 --> 02:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Let's always the case there you go, it's some positive

2386
02:07:43,880 --> 02:07:46,640
things they can carry with them man. Yeah, another non

2387
02:07:46,680 --> 02:07:49,520
playoff appearance, and that, my friends, is the NFL one. Ross,

2388
02:07:49,520 --> 02:07:52,680
thank you very much for that. You're welcome. All right, Well,

2389
02:07:52,720 --> 02:07:55,840
the FS next one twenty seven here on Sports Talk

2390
02:07:55,880 --> 02:07:58,479
seven eighty two. All that time we show with Ross.

2391
02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:02,239
It's our final of the season here with the man

2392
02:08:02,399 --> 02:08:05,119
joining us is going to help our cougars. Hope they

2393
02:08:05,159 --> 02:08:08,520
knock off the LSU Tigers this Saturday at the Texas Bowl.

2394
02:08:08,560 --> 02:08:11,159
Willie Fritz with US coach. Long time, no talk. Happy

2395
02:08:11,199 --> 02:08:14,720
holidays to you and the family. What a great season

2396
02:08:14,800 --> 02:08:16,840
it has been overall, wrapping things up with a bit

2397
02:08:16,920 --> 02:08:19,960
win in Baylor. Take us through what you've been doing

2398
02:08:20,079 --> 02:08:23,680
besides signing some great kids in the recruiting world. How

2399
02:08:23,720 --> 02:08:26,520
has it been in the time between the BAYTL game

2400
02:08:26,560 --> 02:08:27,840
and what you got coming up this Saturday?

2401
02:08:29,279 --> 02:08:31,159
Speaker 7: Really good? Yeah, you're right, it seems like rah have

2402
02:08:31,199 --> 02:08:34,079
been taught for quite some time. But it's you know,

2403
02:08:34,159 --> 02:08:36,520
it's been awesome. We signed a I think a great

2404
02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:40,159
high school class. Sign a number one player in the

2405
02:08:40,279 --> 02:08:44,199
nation at all positions. Keishawn Anderson from up the Road

2406
02:08:44,319 --> 02:08:48,239
and Legacy Sports Academy High School in Spring, Texas and

2407
02:08:49,159 --> 02:08:52,439
signs behind five other kids, six other kids from you know,

2408
02:08:52,720 --> 02:08:55,399
greater Houston area, and a couple of kids just outside

2409
02:08:56,239 --> 02:08:59,800
the metro and a few kids from state of Louisiana.

2410
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:03,199
But you know, buying large. Everybody's you know, within driving distance,

2411
02:09:03,279 --> 02:09:05,640
which is our goal when we go out and recruit.

2412
02:09:05,720 --> 02:09:08,000
We're very fortunate that we don't have to get on

2413
02:09:08,079 --> 02:09:10,520
a plane. First time I get on a plane to

2414
02:09:10,640 --> 02:09:12,239
recruit will be the first time I've gotten on a

2415
02:09:12,279 --> 02:09:15,720
plane of recruit since I've been here. So great, great

2416
02:09:15,800 --> 02:09:19,439
freshman class. And then we've come back and started practicing.

2417
02:09:19,520 --> 02:09:23,840
You know, we went ahead and had five practices and

2418
02:09:23,920 --> 02:09:26,159
then we took the kids a week off and Thember

2419
02:09:26,239 --> 02:09:29,640
it came back in Sunday. We has completed practice number

2420
02:09:29,680 --> 02:09:32,039
two a couple of hours ago, and you know, working

2421
02:09:32,079 --> 02:09:35,000
hard on you know LSU and what they do, and

2422
02:09:36,479 --> 02:09:37,960
you know, picking up where we left off.

2423
02:09:38,159 --> 02:09:42,159
Speaker 1: Hopefully, Willie, you have done this before. I'm sure you've

2424
02:09:42,199 --> 02:09:44,760
gone against teams, whether it's bowl games or you know

2425
02:09:44,880 --> 02:09:48,840
current situation that you've been in yourself about what the

2426
02:09:48,920 --> 02:09:52,640
other side of things you've got coaching situation change. Lane's

2427
02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:55,600
going to take over to LSU, their interim coach is

2428
02:09:55,640 --> 02:09:57,159
going to be leaving to go to Ole Miss when

2429
02:09:57,199 --> 02:09:59,640
the game is all said and done. How much? And

2430
02:09:59,640 --> 02:10:01,720
I'm going to assume the answer is still plenty. But

2431
02:10:02,720 --> 02:10:05,439
is there anything about game film that can be deceiving

2432
02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:08,920
because of players that are not playing and coaching changes

2433
02:10:08,960 --> 02:10:09,439
at this point?

2434
02:10:10,720 --> 02:10:13,119
Speaker 7: No, You're right, you got to really look at it closely.

2435
02:10:14,359 --> 02:10:16,840
One thing is they made the change with the coaching staff.

2436
02:10:18,079 --> 02:10:21,159
You know, I argue with uh, maybe five games left

2437
02:10:21,199 --> 02:10:23,640
in the season, so you've got some games that you

2438
02:10:23,720 --> 02:10:27,239
can look at. You know, it was the same play caller,

2439
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:32,399
you know, offensively, defensively, special teams wise. Another thing that's

2440
02:10:32,439 --> 02:10:35,239
always different in a bowl game is the time, you know,

2441
02:10:35,399 --> 02:10:38,439
between the last game and when you play the bowl game,

2442
02:10:38,560 --> 02:10:40,600
and you know, just like us, we're gonna have some

2443
02:10:40,720 --> 02:10:43,039
wrinkles in there that you know, they're not going to

2444
02:10:43,079 --> 02:10:46,840
be prepared for offense, defense, kicking game, and there's gonna

2445
02:10:46,840 --> 02:10:49,359
be some stuff they're gonna do against us. You know,

2446
02:10:49,439 --> 02:10:51,520
they're you know, we're not gonna be prepared for it

2447
02:10:51,600 --> 02:10:54,520
because they've never shown it before. But there's always a

2448
02:10:54,960 --> 02:10:57,720
wrinkle here and there when you're playing a bowl game,

2449
02:10:57,840 --> 02:11:01,560
especially when it's over the month since the last game

2450
02:11:01,600 --> 02:11:02,119
that's played.

2451
02:11:03,439 --> 02:11:06,279
Speaker 1: I know that every team goes through a few changes.

2452
02:11:06,319 --> 02:11:07,880
You've got kids that don't want to play in the

2453
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:11,000
bowl game, You've got kids that are thinking about transfer portal.

2454
02:11:11,159 --> 02:11:12,479
It sounds like to me, and you don't have to

2455
02:11:12,520 --> 02:11:14,520
get into great detail, but it feels like you're gonna

2456
02:11:14,560 --> 02:11:16,600
have as full of rosters maybe anybody in the country

2457
02:11:16,680 --> 02:11:17,880
going to this game on Saturday.

2458
02:11:19,239 --> 02:11:21,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, we we we we think we're gonna have everybody,

2459
02:11:21,399 --> 02:11:25,039
which we're really really excited about. You know, it's a

2460
02:11:25,680 --> 02:11:28,199
it's a big deal for us. You know, it's this Uh,

2461
02:11:28,800 --> 02:11:31,520
we're playing to have ten wins in a season. There's

2462
02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:34,079
not very many teams in the country that will have

2463
02:11:34,239 --> 02:11:37,520
ten plus wins, you know, so we want to be

2464
02:11:37,640 --> 02:11:40,239
one of them. And all the kids we've done a

2465
02:11:40,279 --> 02:11:43,520
good job of recruiting the right kind of guys. You know,

2466
02:11:43,560 --> 02:11:46,479
they're excited about representing the university and our team one

2467
02:11:46,560 --> 02:11:49,560
more time. Uh, so we would feel like we're going

2468
02:11:49,600 --> 02:11:52,399
to be you have a full squad out there, and

2469
02:11:52,600 --> 02:11:55,119
you know, other than the kids who got injured early

2470
02:11:55,199 --> 02:11:58,680
in the season, everybody's gonna is preparing right now, and

2471
02:11:59,079 --> 02:12:00,800
everybody's gonna part Payton Bowl.

2472
02:12:02,079 --> 02:12:04,680
Speaker 1: You have an environment of riches with Keishaw obviously coming

2473
02:12:04,720 --> 02:12:07,399
in next year. But Connor made the decision last year

2474
02:12:07,479 --> 02:12:09,239
to leave A and M and was looking for a place.

2475
02:12:09,319 --> 02:12:11,079
He chose the University of Houston, and I think you'd

2476
02:12:11,079 --> 02:12:14,720
be generally speaking, very pleased with his performance this year,

2477
02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:18,119
as with many different guys, but for Wickman in particular,

2478
02:12:18,640 --> 02:12:20,600
tell me about the first time he stepped on the

2479
02:12:20,640 --> 02:12:23,119
campus and where he has grown as far as you're

2480
02:12:23,239 --> 02:12:26,199
concerned about who he is as a quarterback and the

2481
02:12:26,319 --> 02:12:30,319
confidence that he I think he's rebuilt after lessons, sparctacular

2482
02:12:30,399 --> 02:12:34,319
season in College Station. The year before, well, a lot.

2483
02:12:34,199 --> 02:12:37,119
Speaker 7: Of issues and problem with College Station. He's banged ever,

2484
02:12:37,199 --> 02:12:40,359
got injured, tried to play through those injuries, and we're

2485
02:12:40,479 --> 02:12:42,560
very aware of that and make sure they've got him healthy.

2486
02:12:42,680 --> 02:12:45,960
But he's been just awesome. He's a really really nice

2487
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:51,279
young man, good young man, good leader, very competitive. You know,

2488
02:12:51,359 --> 02:12:55,039
I think he said an excellent season four US. You know,

2489
02:12:55,239 --> 02:12:58,199
just you know, you want to have that quarterback, but

2490
02:12:58,479 --> 02:13:01,079
be that type of leader. You know, sometimes you don't

2491
02:13:01,119 --> 02:13:05,239
get that. I hear stories lots of guys said, I

2492
02:13:05,399 --> 02:13:08,520
think a little bit of a Prima Donna maybe at

2493
02:13:08,560 --> 02:13:12,840
that position, but Connor's you know, really is entrenched with

2494
02:13:12,920 --> 02:13:15,840
the offensive line, all the guys on the team these

2495
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:20,439
It's an excellent leader for us and we're really really

2496
02:13:20,479 --> 02:13:22,640
happy that we got in at the University of Houston.

2497
02:13:24,119 --> 02:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Willie, I'm very curious about how the LSU is going

2498
02:13:26,720 --> 02:13:29,159
to prepare for this. They have been to previous Texas

2499
02:13:29,239 --> 02:13:32,359
Bulls and like, you've got some guys auditioning for jobs,

2500
02:13:32,399 --> 02:13:34,520
you've got kids that are moving on, and you've got

2501
02:13:34,640 --> 02:13:37,520
quarterback changes left and right. Would it be fair to

2502
02:13:37,720 --> 02:13:41,479
say that maybe the first quarter you'll see it in

2503
02:13:41,520 --> 02:13:44,319
their eyes and we'll see it as fans about how

2504
02:13:44,439 --> 02:13:46,680
bested they're into this game. Depending on what kind of

2505
02:13:46,720 --> 02:13:48,159
start you get on your side of the ball.

2506
02:13:49,439 --> 02:13:51,640
Speaker 7: Oh, I think those kids are going to be very,

2507
02:13:51,760 --> 02:13:54,840
very excited at Coach Wilson does a super job of

2508
02:13:55,000 --> 02:13:57,479
knowing him. He's a New Orleans guy. And how's there

2509
02:13:57,560 --> 02:14:02,000
two lane? For eight years we had a lot to recruiting,

2510
02:14:03,039 --> 02:14:07,119
you know, camps in collaboration with ls YE, especially when

2511
02:14:07,159 --> 02:14:10,680
coach Origeron was there, and you know, so they're they're

2512
02:14:10,680 --> 02:14:12,239
gonna have n't fired them ready to go. I know

2513
02:14:12,279 --> 02:14:15,039
a few of the coaches on their staff coach for

2514
02:14:15,159 --> 02:14:19,000
me before. Alex Atkins, your offensive coordinator. You know, a

2515
02:14:19,119 --> 02:14:21,960
really good coach. Kevin Peele's a D line coach for me.

2516
02:14:22,039 --> 02:14:24,960
He coached for me a bunch of places. They're gonna

2517
02:14:24,960 --> 02:14:26,319
have them ready to go. I gotta do a good

2518
02:14:26,399 --> 02:14:27,880
job and make sure our guys are ready to go.

2519
02:14:28,079 --> 02:14:30,920
This is you know, it's a it's a big ball

2520
02:14:31,000 --> 02:14:34,680
game for us. We've sold out our a lotment of tickets.

2521
02:14:34,840 --> 02:14:37,159
LSU has done the same. We're gonna have a really

2522
02:14:37,239 --> 02:14:40,680
good crowd and n rg uh. So it's exciting. I

2523
02:14:40,760 --> 02:14:43,239
know it's gonna be exciting for both teams and the.

2524
02:14:43,319 --> 02:14:47,199
Speaker 1: Love that this school has for its city. I do

2525
02:14:47,560 --> 02:14:49,560
like the fact you guys are making a staycation out

2526
02:14:49,560 --> 02:14:51,239
of it. We're getting the kids away from campus to

2527
02:14:51,760 --> 02:14:54,199
get that feel of being at a ballgame. But even

2528
02:14:54,239 --> 02:14:55,720
though you're still staying in seven one to three.

2529
02:14:56,680 --> 02:14:59,039
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we're staying in you know, Hill in America's

2530
02:14:59,079 --> 02:15:01,520
town on town. We're gonna be doing a bunch of

2531
02:15:01,600 --> 02:15:04,439
things with them. We'll have going and doing a little

2532
02:15:04,439 --> 02:15:07,359
go kart racing tonight with the kids, and you know,

2533
02:15:07,600 --> 02:15:09,239
we want to have fun. You know, we won't have

2534
02:15:09,279 --> 02:15:12,600
the right kind of fun and they know that. But

2535
02:15:12,760 --> 02:15:16,319
the main thing is playing great Saturday night at eight twenty.

2536
02:15:16,479 --> 02:15:19,239
That's you know, I tell them all the time, and

2537
02:15:19,760 --> 02:15:21,840
all of this is for us to play great at

2538
02:15:21,920 --> 02:15:25,760
eight twenty. So when it's time to prepare, prepare, it's

2539
02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:30,079
time to have some fun. Let's have some fun. But

2540
02:15:30,560 --> 02:15:33,920
we're just blessed and honored to represent the University of

2541
02:15:33,920 --> 02:15:35,000
Houston in this bowl game.

2542
02:15:36,279 --> 02:15:37,840
Speaker 1: Well that's some of our last visits. So let me

2543
02:15:37,920 --> 02:15:41,439
ask you this. The game will end, your wife is

2544
02:15:41,520 --> 02:15:43,439
going to ask you to do some honey dues because

2545
02:15:43,439 --> 02:15:45,800
you've basically been away from that for quite a few months.

2546
02:15:45,840 --> 02:15:48,640
And then after that, what's the next sixty days for

2547
02:15:48,720 --> 02:15:49,319
you and your staff?

2548
02:15:49,520 --> 02:15:51,840
Speaker 7: Like here, Well, we got the portal that's going to

2549
02:15:51,880 --> 02:15:56,319
open up on January the second through the sixteenth, and

2550
02:15:57,279 --> 02:15:59,399
that's going to be take a lot of our time.

2551
02:16:00,039 --> 02:16:04,279
Got the National Convention in American Football Coaches Association. You know,

2552
02:16:04,319 --> 02:16:06,279
I'll go out to Charlotte, North Carolina for a day

2553
02:16:06,359 --> 02:16:09,399
or two for that and some of my coach as

2554
02:16:09,439 --> 02:16:12,319
well as well. And then when that finishes, you know,

2555
02:16:12,359 --> 02:16:14,560
we get into high school recruiting, so we'll be out

2556
02:16:14,600 --> 02:16:17,800
and about driving around town and seeing all the great

2557
02:16:18,159 --> 02:16:21,359
high school football players and coaches here in the state

2558
02:16:21,399 --> 02:16:27,199
of Texas. So there's always work to do. So Luckily,

2559
02:16:27,239 --> 02:16:29,960
I love my job, so it's labor of love.

2560
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:33,440
Speaker 1: And I've said this before many times, even when you've

2561
02:16:33,520 --> 02:16:36,479
not been on my show. I feel like, with so

2562
02:16:36,680 --> 02:16:40,559
many Houston kids that this would be a And people

2563
02:16:40,600 --> 02:16:42,920
have their own opinions about the portals, so we'll live

2564
02:16:42,959 --> 02:16:45,040
at for a different time. But if you've got some

2565
02:16:45,159 --> 02:16:47,479
homesick children, the University of Houston could be a great

2566
02:16:47,520 --> 02:16:49,360
place to finish out a college football career.

2567
02:16:50,600 --> 02:16:53,680
Speaker 7: Well, I've mentioned it before. One of the reasons we

2568
02:16:53,799 --> 02:16:56,920
got Tulane turned around and did things there that nobody

2569
02:16:57,959 --> 02:17:00,200
we were capable of ever being able to do was

2570
02:17:01,559 --> 02:17:03,879
is we had a bunch of Orleans kids that went

2571
02:17:04,600 --> 02:17:07,120
our distances to go to school without the grass was

2572
02:17:07,159 --> 02:17:09,440
green or somewhere else, found out of his only green

2573
02:17:09,520 --> 02:17:13,399
and came back home. And uh, sooner or later that

2574
02:17:13,520 --> 02:17:16,520
out weighs a little bit more money in my opinion,

2575
02:17:16,799 --> 02:17:20,079
but uh, I just think there's going to be that

2576
02:17:20,280 --> 02:17:23,520
opportunity for us to grab some kids and maybe he

2577
02:17:23,559 --> 02:17:26,040
went someplace else. A lot of the kids we got

2578
02:17:26,120 --> 02:17:28,559
on our team and we got out of the portal.

2579
02:17:29,280 --> 02:17:32,000
We're all, you know, kids from this area for the

2580
02:17:32,079 --> 02:17:34,600
most part, besides two or three guys. That's one of

2581
02:17:34,600 --> 02:17:37,600
the main reasons why Connor Weaveman came came to the

2582
02:17:37,760 --> 02:17:40,920
University of Houston. He's from Houston. He's very close to

2583
02:17:41,000 --> 02:17:44,000
this family, and you know, he wanted to come back

2584
02:17:44,079 --> 02:17:46,760
home and we're fortunate enough to get him. But there's

2585
02:17:46,799 --> 02:17:49,360
a lot of guys that are were in a similar situation.

2586
02:17:49,600 --> 02:17:52,159
So you're right, we're gonna use that guardvantage.

2587
02:17:53,200 --> 02:17:54,879
Speaker 1: Welly, thank you for the visits each and every week
