Speaker 4: Great to have you with us. Thank you Ross for

10
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:48,679
filling in for me tomorrow yesterday not having me off.

11
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:49,799
We can tune the music down.

12
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: Here we go.

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 4: Jonathan is off today. Uh so we have a brand

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,759
new young man working it. So there could be a

15
00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:02,200
few bells and whistles that are issues during the course

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,599
of the show. We'll be fine worried about It's more

17
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,239
about the content. Yeah, content is king, Matthew, and you're welcome.

18
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:10,920
I had Chris Gordy hung out for a little while,

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,239
did he Adam? He probably probably was distracted. Was gonna well,

20
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:16,879
I'm not going to say that, but he uh yeah,

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,400
Well I asked him on Monday and he forgot, so

22
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:21,120
he was one segment late. But that's fine. You know,

23
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,760
I can handle it. I'm professionally, I've been in the

24
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:25,040
business a long time. You have been did a great

25
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:27,640
job of being someone you know as a producer, especially

26
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,159
when you're solo man, as you know, it's a little

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,840
more difficult. I would say I would put both of

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,000
us in the same category and that we can do it.

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,840
But it's better to have somebody to bounce off of.

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,879
It's a bounce. Sports radio is a bounce.

31
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,599
Speaker 5: And so.

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: Just checking out little ten o'clockers, how y'all doing doing great?

33
00:01:44,439 --> 00:01:47,239
And Jonathan was great. Uh, he was getting involved in

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,560
the conversation and he uh he, he did a great

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000
job as somebody to bounce off of with conversation and

36
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,200
the times when I was solo. And then Adam Clinton

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,920
came in and trashed Lebron and somebody, our friend LJ

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,400
from New Zealand called in and got.

39
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: Angry with him.

40
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:02,439
Speaker 4: Yeah it's gonna happen, and then uh, and then Adam

41
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:05,120
called the Celtics bungdent jomokes last night and we had

42
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:09,000
I got Arek in Providence. So you kept mixing your accents.

43
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:11,680
That's not true. I mean it was a little New

44
00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:14,199
York in there at the end. I think if we

45
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:17,919
listened to it, I did pretty good. We have it, eh, oh,

46
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,280
I know, we don't want to play it because Ross

47
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,319
is gonna get compliments.

48
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: So that's fine. No, no, no, you should do it live.

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: Because the guy, because I was listening to it, the

50
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:29,879
guy was not buying in any of your stick He

51
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,080
was are you kidding?

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,319
Speaker 3: Well, he was just responding.

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:34,759
Speaker 5: He was like.

54
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: I was like, I was like, that's unbelievable. He's like,

55
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,719
I know, that's unbelievable. I said, he.

56
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,599
Speaker 4: Doesn't know who Baylor Shyaman is. And the guy said, uh,

57
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,319
He's like, I know, it's unbelievable or something. Evidently he

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,280
does it. Baylor, me and my guy Eric were on

59
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,400
the same page. Okay, well you know we'll play it.

60
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:52,080

Speaker 6: Uh.

64
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rockets sucked last night. There ain't no other

65
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,919
way to say it.

66
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: That was not fun. That was a painful, painful way

67
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,560
to spend two hours of my life. I mean, as

68
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:07,719

00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,639

Speaker 3: But yeah, so it was.

81
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,000

00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,319
Speaker 3: You know, they went. They went alphabetical medical like not

86
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:02,039
by sport they went, and not by school. It was alphabetical.

87
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: So ABC d EFG got a lot of collapse by

88
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:06,120
the time we got the t and it was like

89
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,879
sixteen people left. Yeah, well they were all there out

90
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:13,000
in the middle of the congrege drum church. They couldn't

91
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680
be getting drunk, man, I guess it could possibly happened,

92
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,040
but then get into the sacrament wine. Yeah, but did

93
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,439
have a good time and it's good and a lot

94
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,439
of her old coaches and a lot of her teammates

95
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,319
were there, and my parents were there, and Carl's and

96
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:28,079
Kim's parents were there. So it's beautiful. Good time you

97
00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:29,920

98
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:36,560
view too. Who's they the church checkbook? Oh, chech book

99
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,720
contributed a lot too. The checkbook did a lot of

100
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:40,319
heavy lifting.

101
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. Checkbooks some heavy lifting. Check probably

102
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:44,000
tears in its eyes.

103
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: Checkbook's like Kim's like, we should do an airbnb, Like,

104
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:48,439
do you realize how this is much this is going

105
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,879
to cost? Like we're splitting on them? I said, do

106
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,240
you realize that it's just going to cost? You buy

107
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,519
the property and then you can rent it. That's the

108
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,240
way I cannot afford Rhode Island real estate. If you

109
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,360
know it, I don't know, Okay, I don't know. I

110
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:05,360
wasn't trying to pocket check or trying to help. I'm

111
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:09,600
trying to give you ideas. I'm an idea man. Yeah,

112
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,839
the abbe for four months is going to be insane.

113
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,399
That's what I'm saying. You buy the property, then you

114
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,920
make the rent. Okay, just put your house up for collateral.

115
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:23,680
That's gonna say and whatever, nice luxury suv your wife's

116
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,480
driving at the moment. God, it hits close to home,

117
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,199
it really does. I'm trying to make you money. I'm

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,240

Speaker 3: All right, we'll good. Well, maybe our salesforce can help

120
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:35,639
with that.

121
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,199
Speaker 4: You'd like to be a part of the Sports Talk

122
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,959
seven Hoey family where Ross and I can properly endorse

123
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,519
your product. Robert Reeese is always a good one to

124
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,680
go to. He likes soccer, which is a detriment to him.

125
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,079
Speaker 3: I don't know why.

126
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: He's really a small fellow. That's my Manchester City dog.

127
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,879
Both made big Manchester City fans. We have been very

128
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,600
disappointed lately. Yeah, you did a two to two tie

129
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,439
with you, my son's big three to one win over

130
00:05:56,519 --> 00:05:59,040
Newcastle to make the finals of the Caribou Cup. Though, Matt,

131
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,279
congratulations all involved, Thank you all right? And again, how

132
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:05,920
did you get man City? Just you just happen to

133
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,360
be the first one you saw him on TV? No,

134
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,600
my friend was a big Manchester United fan and we

135
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,759
used to play FIFA and you know what I found

136
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:14,920
out this weekend. Your son's the exact same way he

137
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,680
was in college playing the FIFA the video game Okay

138
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:19,639
with his good friend who was an Arsenal fan. They're

139
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,399
big rivals Tottenham, so we started using Tottenham and he

140
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,279
started liking the team. My friend was a big United

141
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,360
Manchester United fan there in their intra city rivals. It's

142
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:32,439
like you know, uh, you know Yankees and Mets and uh.

143
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,000
And I started to pick Manchester City. I like the players,

144
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,720
I started following them and then I picked him as

145
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,720
my team. I wanted to make sure I picked a

146
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:41,720
team that wasn't gonna be terrible. Some people go and

147
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,959
pick like our friend Alex Middleton from the Buzz He

148
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,959
picked west Ham United. Like they're fighting regulation a relegation

149
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,120
every year. It's not fun pitiful. I was like, if

150
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,439
I get to pick, I got Houston sports teams. If

151
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:53,160
I'm picking a team, it's gonna be somebody who has

152
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:55,399
a chance to win. It's like my situation here. I

153
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,800
have been a lifelong Astros fan. I have been a

154
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,879
lifelong Rockets fan. I have been a lifelong well not lifelong,

155
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,199
but Cougar's fans as I went to school there. I

156
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:04,879
actually liked them before they went a lot of losing

157
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:09,399
in Houston. So that's why I can't. I cannot draw

158
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:13,920
myself to NFL team. You know, when the Orders left,

159
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,519
it was like, hey, but what are we going to do?

160
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,319
And they're like, well, you know the Cowboys, and a

161
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,560
lot of people did gravitate towards the Cowboys because that

162
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,199
was the only team in the state and that they

163
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,439
were on TV. Every you didn't miss you didn't miss

164
00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:26,000
the Cowboys game here, Every single Cowboys game on while

165
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,800
the Orders were gone, were always on television.

166
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

167
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,839
Speaker 4: Now right now it's about eighty percent, so you get

168
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:32,319
most of them. Plus if you have direct TV or

169
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:34,279
you have the Sunday ticket, you get to get everything

170
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:36,480
as it is. But I just like you, maybe you

171
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:39,000
should try to being like a forty nine Ers fan,

172
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,439
like that seems kind of artificial. Sans would make sense geographically,

173
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:45,439
it's not that. Yeah, but they weren't great back then,

174
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:46,639
so I have lived.

175
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:46,879
Speaker 7: You know what.

176
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: Let's get you on the Saints band winging right now.

177
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,600
I don't think so a quarterback because then you can

178
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,199
talking to your New Orleans accent. Baby, Yeah, but yours

179
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,160
is better than mine. We work on it.

180
00:07:57,319 --> 00:07:59,879
Speaker 4: We'll go play more black jack at the Caesars or

181
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:04,519
what is it now, Yeah, it was Harris, the New

182
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:07,920
Orleans themed casino changed to the Italian theme casino.

183
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: And it's bigger and better than ever they could have refurbished.

184
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,839
You can kept it, Harris. It's huge. No, sportsbook's huge.

185
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:14,720
Pokeroom's huge too.

186
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,519
Speaker 4: I told you that you can't even get a spot

187
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,639
in the in the sports book unless you're laying down

188
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,839
like a thousand dollars. Yeah, like all these casinos and

189
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,759
Louisian like, come come, we'll watch the game with us.

190
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,560
We're gonna charge you two hunred and fifteen hours an

191
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,759
hour on boozing food. Like yeah, I'll be at home

192
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,160
for fine. Agree, give me some big City wings, break,

193
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:29,879
pick it up and go home.

194
00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:30,839
Speaker 3: There you go, all right.

195
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 4: So Rockets sucked last night, they tell you, and and

196
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,480
it was painful, awful to me as Kita was a

197
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:42,240
was the Steven Adams of the Boston Celtics yesterday with

198
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,480
an enormous amount of rebounds, both offensively and defense. I

199
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:47,639
didn't know that there was a Portuguez. I didn't know

200
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:53,440
his Portuguezeta got the Portuguese. He was locking down a

201
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,159
mentom a men Thompson, the use of five on a

202
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,639
men Thompson defense came again. Second time it's happened in

203
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,759
a week, and it was very effective. I'm just saying

204
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,240
people were telling me it wouldn't work without Wimby. It

205
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,799
worked without Wimby. I can live with Wimby. To me

206
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,960
is Kate that I cannot live with. Kate is an

207
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:14,320
NBA player, so it's not like, what is his wingspan.

208
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:16,679
He was poking everything away, he was making plays. I

209
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:18,519
gotta be honest, and then he blocked it. He fit

210
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,679
he the one worst part of it was and I

211
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,840
and the Rockets did score a basket off of this,

212
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,360
But there was a I'm trying to remember what happened.

213
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,200
It was in the fourth quarter when I was basically

214
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,360
tuning myself out. Uh, there was a turnover. Kaita runs back,

215
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:37,960
I think, attempts the block, winds up going about four

216
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,840
rows deep into the arena into the lower level, comes

217
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,440
back and winds up blocking the next shot. The Rockets tank.

218
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,679
Then it was scooped up by somebody in the Rockets

219
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,679
when I'm scoring a basket.

220
00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: It was.

221
00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:54,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a really, really difficult night. Boston played

222
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:57,799
it back to back the night before. The Rockets did

223
00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:00,639
not have to worry about facing Jalen Brown. Of course,

224
00:10:00,759 --> 00:10:04,039
Jason Tatum not there or who else was not playing

225
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:06,720
ninth that was of somewhat value. Chris Bouchet, but he's

226
00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:09,559
gonna be traded. Oh, Anthony Simons is being moved to

227
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,519
Chicago for a Nicola Vucevich.

228
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 5: So it was it was.

229
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say it was a bunch of Jimokes, but

230
00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:21,360
somebody would, well, you can catch him two to six.

231
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:25,240
But the issue was it was not the primetime team

232
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:26,879
that built the Celtics where they are, which is a

233
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,279
huge surprise. In the Eastern Conference, all of your big

234
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,080
three were bad. You had four of eleven from from

235
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:38,440
Kevin Durant and then five of twelve each from Alpera

236
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
and Shingoon. I'm sorry Jabaris Smith June was also five

237
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,879
to twelve, and it was a Mentoms was three of eight.

238
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,360
Nobody was efficient. None of your big three were efficient.

239
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,399
I had people calling like complaining about Jabari Smith Junior

240
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,240
and Reed Shepherd. It's like a men Thompson, an Alperam,

241
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,799
Shingoon and Kevin Durant need to carry this offense. I'm

242
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:57,440
not worried about Reed Shepherd going three to twelve I mean,

243
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,320
I'm a little worried about it, but yeah, he's had

244
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,320
a he's in a run and it's not been great.

245
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,519
He's not the reason why they lost this game. They looked,

246
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:09,000
i think the word used by Emi a Doka in

247
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:10,879
the post game, like they were in the mud, like

248
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,960
stuck in the mud.

249
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: They just looked.

250
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:14,879
Speaker 4: And you know, and I was gonna ask you this, Matt,

251
00:11:14,879 --> 00:11:17,000
because I brought it up on the post. Harry, you're saying, Okay, yeah,

252
00:11:17,039 --> 00:11:18,799
the first game, you're in the traveling party, so you

253
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:21,399
have a good perspective on this. It feels like even

254
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,200
the first game of a home stand, when they've been

255
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,399
running up and down around the country, like they have

256
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:27,639
been yelling back and forth.

257
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,639
Speaker 3: One game on the road, one.

258
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 4: Game round, it feels like it's almost like a road game,

259
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,240
just the the energy of the team or lack thereof. Well,

260
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:36,039
let's pull the schedule up, and I don't want to

261
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,360
do a super big dive on this, but let's go

262
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,879
through some of that. We've had a lot of you know,

263
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,159
in a lot of road games. Now we got we've

264
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:43,919
had a lot of home games as of late. The

265
00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:47,519
first game out of the long December trip, they won

266
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,200
at home versus Cleveland. They went to two Brooklyn Dallas

267
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,440
for the first year, came back to beat Phoenix in there.

268
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,919
So unfortunately, I know what you think, but the numbers

269
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480
don't bear that out. Well, how do they look in

270
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,600
the game? So are they blowing these guys out? Well,

271
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,039
just wins and losses doesn't mean they played well. Sometimes no,

272
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,879
but I I don't what is the average NBA game

273
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:11,519
about a seven or eight point differential giver?

274
00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:12,759
Speaker 3: Take sometimes ten sometimes.

275
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they came home from that long trip in January

276
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:18,600
and then they they beat Chicago.

277
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 3: But if I remember, they looked like they didn't look

278
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:21,399
good in that game either.

279
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: But either way, okay, well, whatever it is, there's no

280
00:12:27,159 --> 00:12:31,440
as they look we're catching. We're catching the injury bug

281
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:34,559
hurt because of the fact that Adams has gone for

282
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:34,879
the year.

283
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:36,639
Speaker 3: That's one less body using your rotation.

284
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 4: Clint Capello is playing those minutes, and Clint's nice player,

285
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
but he's not as good as a rebounder as Steven

286
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,960
Adams is. Clinton a little more of an offensive player.

287
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,279
But I don't significant more. You're still giving You're having

288
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,200
to use Kevin Durant way too much. Although he didn't

289
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,879
play in the fourth quarter yesterday, which was for the

290
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:52,679
wrong reasons, because you'd like to played him because you

291
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,679
were winning the game. And the Rockets had a nice

292
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:57,679
easy schedule the first two months of the year. We're

293
00:12:57,759 --> 00:13:00,440
playing back to backs on a weekly base. We have

294
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,600
a back to back tonight against the Charlotte Hornets, who

295
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,279
have won six straight, and then back to back next week.

296
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:08,279
Oh the way, we got Oklahoma City coming up on Saturday.

297
00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:11,559
So it's just it's a tough schedule SGA though.

298
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: At least. Yeah, they lost to the Spurs last night, right,

299
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:17,320
you know what. I went to bed. I didn't know that. Yeah,

300
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,360
I know, I'm with you. The last I saw, Spurs

301
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:20,600
were up eleven, so I want to.

302
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, so things we're gonna get too on

303
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,840
the show todayly won.

304
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh they.

305
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 4: I think the Oklahoma City's under played four players you'd recognize,

306
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,519
and I think Shake Gildes Alexander's out with an abdominal

307
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,960
injury until after the All Star break.

308
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,759
Speaker 3: I hate to hear that. I mean, that's what we need.

309
00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:38,039
Take advantage. Let's go, gotta do what you gotta do.

310
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,879
Speaker 4: Seven one three, two one two five seven nine. If

311
00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:42,759
you want to join the show today seven one three

312
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,919
two one two five seven nine zero. It is the

313
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,320
Matt Thomas Show with Ross on the show today. Uh,

314
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,200
we're gonna have I just don't get it at eleven thirty.

315
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,600
Our buddy Softy's gonna join us from San Francisco at

316
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,440
twelve thirty today. You know, I'm kind of it's just

317
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,600
gonna go. Let him have the floor.

318
00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,399
Speaker 3: I don't need it.

319
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 4: We don't get a deep dive. Just give us the

320
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:06,360
experiences hanging on a radio row. Yeah, media Roe, excuse me,

321
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,919
media media. So we're gonna get to him, talk to him. He's,

322
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:12,799
of course from our friends at kJ ER in Seattle.

323
00:14:12,879 --> 00:14:16,240
His Seahawks are playing for the Super Bowl Championship, the

324
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Vintilbardi Trophy. University Houston Cougar's destroyed Central Florida last night,

325
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,080
Take that, Golden Knights, and then Calvin Sampson had a

326
00:14:25,159 --> 00:14:29,639
little bit of a monologue about the state of economic

327
00:14:29,679 --> 00:14:32,399
affairs at the University of Houston, which is to no surprise,

328
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:36,120
but as it's just ain't.

329
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: You of age, it's five percent of colleges have played

330
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,639
Division one athletics. Ross, would you.

331
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:43,399
Speaker 4: Say ninety five? Coach Sampson is. I mean, he's a

332
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,480
true gym. He is an awesome does not give any

333
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:50,879
fs about speaking publicly about stuff correct. NBA trade deadline

334
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,320
is coming up today at two o'clock. Will the Rockets

335
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,960
make a move veteran buy out? Maybe after the deadline?

336
00:14:57,039 --> 00:15:00,360
Maybe Will Giannis get moved today? Will John Morankett moved today?

337
00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:02,799
I would like to adjust my gut feeling from Tuesday. Well,

338
00:15:02,799 --> 00:15:05,080
we can discuss. Okay, we'll do that. Uh fromber is

339
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:10,279
now a Detroit Tiger got big big cat, big AAV

340
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:15,159
short term deal, short years big AA V targ School

341
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,639
was like, hmm, do I want to play for the

342
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,679
Dodgers or don't want to play for the Dodgers. I

343
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,399
want to play for LA. I don't want to play

344
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,399
for the team in southern California. Hey, Yankees can get involved?

345
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,960
And who needs a new haircut? I'm thinking I've been

346
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,440
thinking about it. It's it gonna change who you are. No,

347
00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:36,960
it's not gonna change who I am, But you're thinking

348
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,919
about it. I've been going with the long pony for

349
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:42,840
like seven years now, tell us switch, are you just

350
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:43,360
gonna trimm?

351
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: You're gonna go?

352
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 4: I still want to have curls. I want to show

353
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,039
off the curls. What about getting rid of the beard altogether?

354
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,799
What do you think about the beer?

355
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 8: No?

356
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:49,799
Speaker 4: Well, if maybe if I lose a little more weight,

357
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,120
the beard does a good job covered up the double

358
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,919
chin looks like one point five with a beard?

359
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,279
Speaker 3: All right?

360
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,919

366
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:12,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was ugly last night Sports RV.

367
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: That was I mean, that was, uh, what is the

368
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:18,519
old cliche we always roll out that one's not gonna

369
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:19,600
be They're not gonna ask for that.

370
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: The Nate Smith Basketball Hall of Fame. The better.

371
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: It was not a night to remember. It was ugly

372
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,600
offense from the get and then it got uglier as

373
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:29,799
the game went along. Derek White was knocking down threes.

374
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,559
I don't even want to say that out loud. Peyton Pritchard,

375
00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:35,320
Derek White got hot. Peyton Pritchard thought he was Kaitlin

376
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,440
Clark for a minute, Peyton Pritchard was bawling.

377
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: I guess it was, and nobody could get anything going.

378
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 5: It was just.

379
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: In I will use I will go back to Emo

380
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,799
Doka's phrase, stuck in the mud offense from the Rockets

381
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,279
last night. They were getting crushed in the boards Namasketa

382
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,720
with the seven rebound offensive rebounds, I think it was.

383
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,519
Speaker 3: Or was it more than that?

384
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:07,039
Speaker 4: No, seven offensive rebounds, they got twenty offensive rebounds. They

385
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:09,079
beat you on the boards, and then the second chance

386
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,759
points twenty seven to fifteen. They got twenty seven second

387
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,240
chance points last night. Matt not ideal got up as

388
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:17,079
much as twenty nine.

389
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 5: It was just.

390
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 3: Not fun Rockets basketball.

391
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: But just like in baseball, if you get shut out

392
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,519
nine to nothing, you can come back and bounce back.

393
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:31,400
And yes, played the Charlotte Hornet still, okay, I got you.

394
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,480
We'll go Ernie Banks. Let's play two. I mean, I

395
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:36,400
gotta go that direction. Right, let's do it. I can

396
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,279
do that. The Charlotte Hornist, though they did they play,

397
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:41,039
They didn't play last night, right. I think they were

398
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:43,000
in the hotel rested. I think they've won seven in

399
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:45,880
a row. I thought I said six, but maybe I'm wrong.

400
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,160
I think it got up to seven. Now, yeah it

401
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:50,519
was six. Now it's seven.

402
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 3: Damn it.

403
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,559
Speaker 4: There's a win over Spurs went over the sixers and

404
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,359
win over the magic in that space. Wait a minute,

405
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:05,119
they did beat Washington, Memphis in New Orleans in the mix. Okay,

406
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,279
but also San Antonio, Philadelphia, Orlando.

407
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 3: Is that terrible? That's true. I'm just saying. And it's

408
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,079
not like the Rockets are being world beaters right now.

409
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:18,599
They're playing good. They want to know what they want.

410
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 4: They won five out of six before last night, and

411
00:18:20,559 --> 00:18:22,519
I know it sucks, but you know a lot of

412
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:25,599
calls on the postgame show. How that happens when they're terrible.

413
00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:29,359
It's funny when when you win, uh, there is no calls,

414
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,319
and when you lose, it so gives us the recap. Yeah,

415
00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:34,599
but that's how it goes. I mean, hey, I take

416
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,200
any post game call I can get. Just be consistent.

417
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:38,920
It's always yes. But you know we've been asking that

418
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:41,240
for a long time in sports. I need to get

419
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,039
a glass of water. I'm gonna you want to go

420
00:18:43,079 --> 00:18:44,759
get you some water. I literally go do it. I'm

421
00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:48,000
worried about you, just to say it. You should have

422
00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:48,279
done it.

423
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 3: I told you not to do it.

424
00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:52,079
Speaker 4: Uh, there's a place that brought some chicken sandwiches to

425
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,279
us and hot chicken. It's just not gonna work for me.

426
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,079
I'm gonna go get you some water, all right. I'm

427
00:18:59,079 --> 00:18:59,559
gonna talk.

428
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 3: About it to make it through this night. Actually, are

429
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:09,160
you sure? Yes? Lois, You're absolutely right. Hi Lewis, Good morning.

430
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 5: To you, MT and r V.

431
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 4: How are we doing outstanding? Thank you for asking, Hey.

432
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,759
Speaker 9: Man, my little tough on your daughter going to Rhode Island.

433
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,519
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. I appreciate that.

434
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,759
Speaker 9: It's very excited she gonna play volleyball.

435
00:19:23,839 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 4: Obviously, I would hope so I spend a lot of

436
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,599
money on playing club volleyball in the last seven years

437
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,079
of her life.

438
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 9: Anyway, you know, last night is like a bad hangover,

439
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:36,000
you know, It's just.

440
00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 8: It's something that happens.

441
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 7: And I hope it lights This.

442
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 9: Is just a h being a GM on the radio me.

443
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:48,400
I just hope this lights a fuse under them to

444
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:51,519
do something, just to shake this team up.

445
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,079
Speaker 5: A little bit.

446
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 9: And I want to ask you a question. I want

447
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,079
to bound some names off of you and see what

448
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:02,400
you think. Andre Drummond, I think is very attainable from Philly.

449
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,720
And if you had a choice either Chris Paul or

450
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,920
Lonzo ball I get and cut, would you pick up.

451
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 7: Either one of those guys?

452
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,559
Speaker 4: I really don't think those guys will come via trade.

453
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,480
If those guys get bought out, there may be a

454
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,279
situation that would come into play because you'd be able

455
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:31,400
to get him on the cheap. I just I don't

456
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,160
anticipate the Rockets doing anything trade wise. And there's a

457
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,160
lot of rumors out there, and a lot of that

458
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:39,200
is because aidents are putting that out there. Other teams

459
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,720
are trying to put that out there as well, So

460
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,839
it's hard for me to say, Wow, this guy would

461
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:47,519
make a difference. And all the only question is is

462
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,480
this guy really worth it? Depending on the money that

463
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:53,000
you're spending. Like the Cavaliers traded Lonzo to the Utah Jazz,

464
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,480
is Utah going to keep him?

465
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:55,039
Speaker 3: I don't know.

466
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:01,279
Speaker 7: Cut they cut him?

467
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 3: Oh they already did, Okay, I didn't even know that. Yeah,

468
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,480
so they cut He's not gonna cost.

469
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 9: You much, right, That's what I'm saying.

470
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,599
Speaker 3: But do you think it's I just I wouldn't shoot

471
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:15,759
very well. I'm sorry.

472
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,039
Speaker 4: It's funny to say I'm a little more interested in

473
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,319
Lonzo Ball as far as like a mystery box ad

474
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,799
than Chris Paul. Chris Paul, I know is done done.

475
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:30,319
Lonzo Ball. Thirty percent from the floor, guys. Yeah, that's atrocious.

476
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,359
Twenty seven percent from three last year he won. Last

477
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,319
year was better. But it's and it's all like he

478
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,759
hasn't been playing. That's thirty five games at twenty minutes

479
00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:44,599
per like, that's not nothing. It's he's having a halfull

480
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,160
season shooting. You're not gonna well, you're not gonna get

481
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,279
an all started to buy out market.

482
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:48,799
Speaker 7: You're not.

483
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 4: I mean, so I'll say this Lewis, and I don't

484
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,799
mean to give you a mamby pammy answer. I think

485
00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:56,519
there'll be a roster add on. Yeah, I would. I

486
00:21:56,599 --> 00:21:58,279
mentioned this on to tell the truth ourday. I think

487
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:00,559
it's going to be more of an extra big then

488
00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:01,759
it would be an extra guard.

489
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 5: Yep.

490
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 4: My gut feeling is that you're gonna see a small

491
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,359
trade for a little bit of salary room, whether it's

492
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,440
like Jeff Green for a second round and you send

493
00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:12,799
picks or something like that to help facilitate another team's trade,

494
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,640
or Jay Shan Tate or what do you exactly. You

495
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,960
get involved in three team deals to help somebody out.

496
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:19,160
That way, you can get yourself a little bit of

497
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,359
room to the salary cap and then make a buyout.

498
00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:23,640
That's what my gut feeling Tuesday was there was gonna

499
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,839
be no moves. I just I've changed my mind. I

500
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:28,359
think it's gonna be a small move and I think

501
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,400
then you go the you go hunt, buy out hunt.

502
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,720
I think Dorian Phinney Smith's has been talked about, and

503
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:34,559
thank you Lewis for the phone call. I appreciate it.

504
00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:38,000
He's been talked about his trade possibilities as well. I

505
00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:40,440
don't know if that necessarily is something that would be.

506
00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: DFS.

507
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 4: I like him a lot, good guy, but spend most

508
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,160
of the season injured and then he just hasn't shot

509
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:51,799
very well. Yes, he's got a huge contract. Yeah, I

510
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:54,240
mean he's got a he's got a long NBA track

511
00:22:54,319 --> 00:22:57,279
record of being a decent player. So it's like, do

512
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,119
I liked it when the when the sign was made,

513
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,799
But it's just what I'm saying, how much time do

514
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:02,160
you give him to get back in a rhythm?

515
00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:03,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't.

516
00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:06,279
Speaker 4: It's see he's only played seventeen games. You can say, oh,

517
00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:08,160
but he's terrible. This is what this is some cost,

518
00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:10,640
that's what That's what Rafelson has to figure out. Yeah,

519
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,880
Or can he get better? Can he get healthier in

520
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,200
and you get more in a rhythm? Because let me,

521
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,799
I'm gonna completely ross Loby here for one second to

522
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:24,759
pill a curtain. I talked to im ay publicly and

523
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,359
behind the scenes, and if I if I got a

524
00:23:28,559 --> 00:23:31,400
vibe from you from him that said, hey, he's he

525
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:33,839
wants to go find that missing piece, I'd kind of

526
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,599
I'd tell you, guys, I'd say, hey, I think I've

527
00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:39,119
never gotten that vibe from this team at any point,

528
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,799
even when.

529
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,599
Speaker 3: Fred got hurt, even as readis struggle as of late.

530
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,519
Speaker 4: And even want Steven Adams going on, I I just

531
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,160
don't have it.

532
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 7: Now.

533
00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:50,319
Speaker 4: There could be some blockbuster maybe maybe they're being coy,

534
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,480
maybe they're just trying to paint a blank face on things.

535
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,319
But he has been very consistent in saying this, and

536
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,640
he sent us a lot publicly. There are more teams

537
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,799
coming after our players, then we're going after theirs. And

538
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,680
I think the two players that are being talked about

539
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,440
is Jabari Smith and Tarise Natari makes a little more

540
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,160
sense because he is a restricted free agent.

541
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: If the Rockets love a player, if you love someone,

542
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,279
you're not giving them up.

543
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

544
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,039
Speaker 4: But and frankly, Tari is their best three point shooter.

545
00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:23,200
I mean this late in the season, he's their best

546
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,720
three point shooter. He's shooting about forty nine percent from three. Yeah,

547
00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:27,920
he's going like for historic numbers.

548
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

549
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,319
Speaker 4: Now he's not shooting volume wise a lot because he's

550
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:31,400
missing all that games. And I don't know if he's

551
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,759
going to play to night or nine. He doesn't play

552
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:35,599
back to backs during Phinney. Smith did not play last night,

553
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,920
and I'm expecting he would play provide it seems like

554
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:38,960
they wanted to stagger them.

555
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 3: One available tonight and one the next night.

556
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:43,440

573
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,440
Oh yeah, I can't do everything all at once. I'm

574
00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:27,160
trying to sleep better, trying to lose weight, trying to

575
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,920
eat better, and how those things coming along?

576
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 3: Most of them pretty good. But now I've been sick,

577
00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:31,640

600
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,440
all right? Seven one three two one two five seven ninety.

601
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,079
We do want to play some of the uh and

602
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:31,000
we don't have a chance. I guess maybe we couldn't

603
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,759
edit it down. But Calvin yesterday, after the Cougar's annihilated

604
00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:38,359
UCF's like, man, we're broke. He said that, well, I

605
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,640
want you to keep asking for donations afterwards, Well, not

606
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,000
necessarily donations, said cut to check EMT. Well, you know

607
00:26:46,079 --> 00:26:48,039
the thing it is, and I we'll save this for

608
00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:50,839
a little bit later. But it's not about you and me, right,

609
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,960
one hundred dollars check? He needs multi millions of dollars. Yeah,

610
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,119
so he's he was talking about this basically asking anybody

611
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,720
that runs a a big company. Oh okay, I mean

612
00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:05,839
if every cougar dropped fifty dollars towards him. It wouldn't

613
00:27:05,839 --> 00:27:10,640
take it wouldn't do much. You need Cody Campbell. Every

614
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,680
school needs those super, super big alums. And Tilman's already

615
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,680
put enough of money. And Tim's like, man, I'm busy.

616
00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:20,680
He's at a palace in Italy. Yeah, I'm trying to

617
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,880
build my other empires. I mean I've given you enough. Yeah,

618
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,720
I mean it's basically been. And I'm sure there's been

619
00:27:26,759 --> 00:27:28,640
others that are Cougar fans. And if you all, if

620
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,319
you all know other people that have given super money,

621
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,359
give me some run. I'll let them have their shine.

622
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,480
But Mattress, Mackus and I held them to death. Tilman's

623
00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:39,000
done it, and I don't really know many people other

624
00:27:39,079 --> 00:27:42,720
than that. I'm sure there's others, but Tilman's, i mean,

625
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,720
Coven minuted a point to say, Man, I like having

626
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,640
at Kingston here, I like having Chris Sinek here. I

627
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,839
can't afford this. We're going to start losing players so

628
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,440
we don't have money. And if it's not it's not

629
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,359
only just the University of Houston saying this. I'm sure

630
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,720
there's a lot of campuses across this country that are

631
00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:01,640
saying these things. Let's talk to Roger one thirty nine, Roger,

632
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,480
good morning.

633
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 8: Good morning, Matt and Ross. Yeah, you don't sleep one

634
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:10,160
five figure death punch. It's a good good jab going

635
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,279
through Darten to Houston traffic. And I am now uh

636
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,880
so uh Raphel Stones. I'm gonna take your action on

637
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,000
the phone. I'm gonna give him for his whole tenure here.

638
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,119
I'm gonna give him like that's maybe a C plus

639
00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:26,119
just because of Durant Dale. Now, I just think this

640
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,759
guy could be doing more. I think he's gotten way

641
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,880
too comfortable with his job, you know. I just think

642
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,960
that Darre Moore, for all his flaws, you know, and

643
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,359
the guy was always fleecing people other gyms and deals,

644
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,279
and you know, he usually he knew how to move

645
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:44,599
and shake, you know, through all these trade deadlines. And

646
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,519
I just think we're Phil Stone's absolutely opposite of that.

647
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,039
And I just think it's time to move on. If

648
00:28:50,039 --> 00:28:52,559
he doesn't, you know, at least try to get something

649
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,200
done here at the end of the daylight, we don't

650
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:55,079
we know what we are.

651
00:28:56,079 --> 00:28:56,519
Speaker 7: We're going.

652
00:28:56,559 --> 00:28:58,519
Speaker 8: We're an okay team. We're a good team with just

653
00:28:58,599 --> 00:29:01,319
not a great team. And I just think, you know,

654
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,720
with a little help, but Yeah, you don't want to

655
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:05,960
get fleeced. You don't want to show your cards. But

656
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:08,640
you know what, they're not handing out GM jobs. Everybody

657
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,079
goes easy. So I'll just take your asser the floor.

658
00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:14,079
What kind of grade you give him this guy if

659
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,160
the trade doesn't get done.

660
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,079
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm asking for a gentleman as to be

661
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:22,039
a fire if a trade has not made you did

662
00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:23,880
you did trade for one of the greatest players in

663
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,079
the history of the NBA. You did sign Dylan Brooks

664
00:29:27,119 --> 00:29:29,759
and Fred Van Vliet to contracts and who helped you

665
00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:32,559
get from five hundred to a playoff team in fifty

666
00:29:32,599 --> 00:29:33,720
two wins a year ago?

667
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:34,519
Speaker 9: Uh?

668
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:35,079
Speaker 3: You didn't.

669
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,519
Speaker 4: You didn't miss on him and Thompson Rea alprinchting Gun

670
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,960
was picked in the teams and has been an All Star. Yeah,

671
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,640
and he's twenty one to nine and six a game,

672
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,559
and I know he's got his flaws to everybody does.

673
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,359
Uh reed, Yeah, sixteenth. He got picked in the at

674
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,119
sixteen and it's been an All Star. Reids reads up

675
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,920
and down. Jury still out on that. There have been

676
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:57,319
players behind him that have had more success. There's no

677
00:29:57,319 --> 00:30:00,359
really no other way to say that. Uh Jabari's good

678
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,359
not an all star all starting good, but it's definite

679
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:10,240
starting guy. No, there, when you fire people is when

680
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,440
you make bad trades and you trade Luca to the

681
00:30:13,519 --> 00:30:17,839
Dallas to the Los Angeles Lakers and you uh, I

682
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,839
mean who else, folks? They're they're fourth in the West. Yeah,

683
00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:23,039
I mean, come on, like two games behind the Spurs

684
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:27,720
for second. Come on, now, you're gonna you're gonna let

685
00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:30,279
a non draft day trade Dad line, go pass and

686
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:32,559
go oh, he's gotta let you let go?

687
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: I mean, and Fred van Vliet.

688
00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:36,839
Speaker 4: Ripped his his knee in half and Steven Adams ripped

689
00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:38,599
his knee in half or ankle in half.

690
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, the injuries happened. The team was well built.

691
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 4: You've just had some major injuries and then yeah, Donny

692
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,559
and Finney Smith hasn't exactly worked out.

693
00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:51,039
Speaker 3: But who's getting fired? Everybody?

694
00:30:51,119 --> 00:30:54,759
Speaker 4: Everybody liked that signing when happened. Everyone the entire world did.

695
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,720
Sneaky could pick up I'll tell you what. You didn't

696
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,599
think much about Josha Kogie, and he's turning to be

697
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,599
pretty very good acquisition for this team.

698
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:02,279
Speaker 3: It's a good point.

699
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:07,839
Speaker 4: So look, all I'll say is is that I when

700
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,400
this team plays well, and it has played well way

701
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,759
more than has played badly. It's fun, exciting, it's got

702
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,759
clutch scoring, it's had some really big wins. It's you know, again,

703
00:31:20,799 --> 00:31:23,480
the schedule's tough right now, and they're just kind of

704
00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:25,160
holding on for dear life for the All Star break,

705
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,680
it feels like to me, and that's up to eMate

706
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:29,519
to keep those guys motivated to do that. But the

707
00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:32,160
schedule just is cruel. The schedule is what it is.

708
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,680
Three days in, three games and four nights. Then you

709
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:36,319
come home for a day and you get back to

710
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,880
backs before they all start break, and then you can

711
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,519
kind of decompress a little bit. Oh, Tari Easton's been

712
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:48,359
a good pick too, picked seventeenth. Yeah, Tarry, Yeah. The

713
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,599
only thing you can say is okay, now, Reed Shepherd

714
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,440
was obviously the Rockets choice and we're very happy about that.

715
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,640
Stefan Castle's played better and he was the Rookie of

716
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,400
the Year behind that, but they can't control their drafts selection.

717
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,279
They would have loved to have Victor Webbin yam, but

718
00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:03,200
it didn't turn out that way.

719
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:04,319
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

720
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: You mean the ping pong balls or whatever they used

721
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:09,839
to determine these things. They didn't go to the Rockets way.

722
00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:14,319
Ping pong balls really screwed them. Both Palla Bancaro and

723
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,920
Cheed Holgren have been All Stars ahead of Javarismith Junor

724
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,039
You mentioned Winby. Yeah, but those are guys before the

725
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:25,079
Rockets couldn't get to That's what I'm saying. Everybody cheered

726
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:27,880
about Chet Holmgren not being a Rocket. Oh my god,

727
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,480
that was the biggest ovation downtown Houston, Texas.

728
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,039
Speaker 3: Take him, Oklahoma City, take Chet Holmgren.

729
00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:36,599
Speaker 4: He gets hurt all the time. He still gets hurt

730
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,359
all the time, but he's still very good. And he's

731
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:46,160
an All Star this year and block hit threes. Yeah,

732
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,720
say eighteen points a game. This is not a bad

733
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:49,519
basketball team.

734
00:32:49,559 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: You guys know that.

735
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, you give me a C I

736
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:56,279
get I give it. I think see okay, I'm sorry. C.

737
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,200
Plus I had worship giving him a bee. Yeah, I'm

738
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:00,880
going B plus.

739
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,519
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. It's all about what you do.

740
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:05,799
Speaker 4: You come playoff time, and you know what, I got

741
00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:07,039
one of the best scores in the history of the

742
00:33:07,079 --> 00:33:07,880
NBA on my side.

743
00:33:08,359 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 3: I'm okay, all right?

744
00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:12,599
Speaker 4: Ten forty four Sports Talk seven ninety. This is the

745
00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:14,839
Matt Thomas Show with Ross seven one three, two one

746
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,279
two five, seven ninety. I'm gonna try to find that

747
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,279
audio of Kelvin talking about the money because I want

748
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:22,759
to get your thoughts on what he said. He is

749
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:26,880
spitting facts, but there's a little bit of a how

750
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,359
do I put this, uh, a little risk reward was

751
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,359
saying these things. And I'll explain that coming back on

752
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,880
it at ten and seven ninety.

753
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: I believe the theme this show today is play songs

754
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,400
matters and idea what they are. But that's fine. It's

755
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,279
a good theme. You've got a lot of options about you.

756
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:45,839
Speaker 1: I stay clear.

757
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,680

Speaker 4: How do you learn how to curl? By the way,

770
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,320
I mean you get a brush out and you get

771
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,079
to get a big stone that works into the rink

772
00:34:40,559 --> 00:34:42,559
and just push it really fast. Yeah, you and you

773

793
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,320
in a one year deal. No, hell no, stop, didn't

794
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,000
think it was gonna happen.

795
00:35:36,039 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 3: Why do we do why do we do this? Radio

796
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:41,119
Cole Thompson was doing that yesterday. I'm talking to you.

797
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,679
Speaker 4: I mean, seriously, it's not gonna happen. No, Oh, we

798
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,719
get the when the women's hockey's on right now? Oh really,

799
00:35:51,639 --> 00:35:53,639
why did you say that like that? No, I'm just

800
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:56,079
saying because I don't like any of it. But I'll

801
00:35:56,079 --> 00:35:59,400
be and I'll watch a little bit. They're playing Czech Republic. Okay, yeah, see,

802
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,559
I get him. The Olympics, mate, come on, that's fine,

803
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,840
all right, So you don't I'll put first take on.

804
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,119
Speaker 3: No, don't do that.

805
00:36:06,199 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 4: But hockey's much better. Okay, you'll take win Olympics over that.

806
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,280
So Frober gets the three year deal. He's obviously one

807
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,880
of the best pitchers the Astros have had in the

808
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,320
last twenty years. There's no disputing that. When Frober is excellent,

809
00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:31,159
he is groundball inducing, innings eater, strikeout throwing twelve six curveball.

810
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 3: It's fun.

811
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 4: But when it implodes, you can bring Carlo's crey to

812
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,719
the mound. You can bring any of his childhood best

813
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,760
friend of the mound. The guy cracks like a bad

814
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,000
egg and he has not been able to shake that

815
00:36:46,119 --> 00:36:48,599
his entire career. Well, last year was worse than he

816
00:36:48,679 --> 00:36:53,079
had been in three or four years. The meltdowns were

817
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,119
far too frequent. And then the worst of course, what

818
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,880
is the word you always use, that fatal com plee

819
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,599
uh oh, the coup de gras whatever French we want

820
00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:08,639
to break out peer sixer. Yeah, the bag at whatever

821
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:11,280
we want to call it, was when he got crossed

822
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,360
up with Sasar Salazar and and threw at his stomach.

823
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,280
That was the death now for him getting any sort

824
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,400
of big, long term deal in the off season.

825
00:37:20,639 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: And that's what I really thought. Uh the dollar value

826
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,719
would have been bad, but he was it three one fifteen.

827
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,239
Is that what I saw? Yes, that's that's excellent. Thirty

828
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:29,760
eight million.

829
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 4: There's opt out after the second year, yes, which is

830
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,679
the same thing for for Kyle Tucker.

831
00:37:35,159 --> 00:37:38,559
Speaker 3: Everybody's kind of like, we're gonna see.

832
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 4: What happens after this labor stoppage. We have to pray

833
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,920
not that just to make it today. Well that too,

834
00:37:46,559 --> 00:37:48,480
but we don't want to go through a whole year

835
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,320
of work stoppage. Do we because there are some owners

836
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,000
privately say Ross, if it takes us a year away

837
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,199
from the business to reconvene the refigure, configure the.

838
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,599
Speaker 3: Business model, we'll do it.

839
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 4: I'd be curious what those in the know, the Chandler Romes,

840
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,880
Brian McTaggart's, et cetera, have to say about a potential

841
00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:13,320
labor stoppage, because just from us sitting here in our seats,

842
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,079
it feels like, not only are it's going to be

843
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:19,360
the owners versus the players, it's going to be owners

844
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,000
versus the owners. So it could be it feels like

845
00:38:22,039 --> 00:38:27,000
an extended layoff with games missed, a season missed. I

846
00:38:27,079 --> 00:38:32,320
don't know that would be hugely detrimental. I mean, it

847
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,880
took a while for people to come back in the nineties. Now,

848
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,840
when everybody's got Netflix and Apple TV and every other

849
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,599
thing going on, it would seem like it would be

850
00:38:41,679 --> 00:38:43,639
even worse to try to get people to come back.

851
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,679
People in the nineties were angered because it was in

852
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,360
the middle of the season and it was fun and interesting.

853
00:38:49,679 --> 00:38:54,199
If you go away for a while, you're right, I

854
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,920
got a new show on Apple TV. I want to

855
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,320
watch you forget We forget about stuff that I didn't.

856
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,920
I forgot the Pro Bowl games wrong.

857
00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 3: You didn't watch it. I forget.

858
00:39:03,519 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 4: I forget what in I forget what game NBA is on? Well,

859
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:08,519
it's on Prime Video tonight or is it on NBC

860
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:09,599
or is it on whatever?

861
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 3: I forget. It's hard.

862
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,039
Speaker 4: You said no to the Pro Bowl. I didn't intentionally

863
00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:17,159
say no. I forgot about the Pro Bowl. But it's

864
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:18,320
still a known I'm proud of you.

865
00:39:18,559 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 3: Thank you. Apparently it was a real barn burer. It

866
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,119
was like sixty six to fifty eight or whatever. Thank

867
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:25,679
you to C. J.

868
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 4: Stroud for forgoing. Why did they say barn burner? Isn't

869
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,639
that really bad? Your barn is burning down? Is that exciting?

870
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:32,199
Speaker 3: And through?

871
00:39:33,079 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 4: That sounds like an urban dictionary right? Or I mean

872
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,199
it feels like you know, back in the eighteen sixties

873
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,360
said that the Bonds, but we're gonna like to you

874
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,519
have a party and you'd burn the barn down. No

875
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:44,440
barn burner, I it would missed to be a connotation

876
00:39:44,519 --> 00:39:49,320
for being a really hot game. Maybe okay, but who

877
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,239
saw barn burner in twenty twenty six? It originated from

878
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:57,840
the eighteen thought is the barn burners? Farmer burned his

879
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:04,079
barn to smoke out rats. The things you learn on

880
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:06,440
the Matt Thomas Show at all or educational Matt were

881
00:40:06,519 --> 00:40:11,159

eight real there was a lack of a barn burner.

885
00:40:20,039 --> 00:40:24,000
It was an icy chilia burn barn Tota Saturday. It's

886
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:26,440

a joint Chiropractor. They are the official chiropractors at the

933
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,400
University of Houston Cougars Athletic program and our Cougars. I

934
00:42:55,519 --> 00:43:00,840
mean the bludgeoned the UCF Nights last night Knights any good?

935
00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:04,800
They beat Texas Tech in Orlando, but they came to Houston.

936
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,840
Texans got their ass whips seventy nine to fifty five

937
00:43:07,039 --> 00:43:11,599
nice ooh, good for them. Kingston Flemings eighteen points six assists.

938
00:43:11,599 --> 00:43:14,000
If you're a Kingston Flemmings fan, you USh him well

939
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:15,760
in the NBA because he's probably going to be I

940
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,280
would say, I don't want to guarantee it because obviously

941
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,239
injuries good to play a role in this but if

942
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,800
he stays healthy and he stays as productive as he

943
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,400
has been this year, he will be a top five

944
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:25,639
pick of the NBA draft.

945
00:43:25,679 --> 00:43:26,119
Speaker 3: Coming up.

946
00:43:27,199 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 4: Christinic fourteen points, ten rebounds, Cougar's seventy nine fifty five

947
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:36,480
over UCF. Cougar's will play at BYU on Saturday night,

948
00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:40,400
a late game. All right, now, after the game, and

949
00:43:40,519 --> 00:43:43,239
look is waxing poetic? Is that is that we want

950
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,239
to go with Kelvin Sampson being an all time good

951
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,239
at doing that, Yes, not pulling punches. He's very philosophic,

952
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:55,079
very real. Now, sometimes there is a underlying message that

953
00:43:55,159 --> 00:43:56,719
he's trying to get out there, and I think clearly

954
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,519
he did that yesterday. I don't know what the context was,

955
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:01,039
but it was an interesting comment that I did see

956
00:44:01,079 --> 00:44:03,760
on the social media streets. And this is the comments

957
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,559
directly about, you know how the world of nil and

958
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,119
revenue is impacting teams like the Houston Cougars, who are

959
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,440
number eight in the country. Ken Paul my Thin sawhim

960
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,599
at six right in my brother, Yes, yeah, I'm a

961
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:18,880
Kim Palm guy. I asked my Bible bracketology, according to

962
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,519
Joe Lonardie, puts them on the two line in the

963
00:44:20,559 --> 00:44:22,920
South region, which ultimately means they could be coming to Houston,

964
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,599
which would be really good to play the Tota Center.

965
00:44:24,679 --> 00:44:25,599
Speaker 3: But here is.

966
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 4: Kelvin talking about how to maintain what has turned out

967
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,320
to be basically a decade of excellence at the University

968
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,039
of Houston of kim.

969
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,639
Speaker 1: Back and the NIO.

970
00:44:38,679 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 11: Just like everybody else, we know what our kiss market

971
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:47,320
value is. We learned trust you're not starving here. We're

972
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:52,400
getting We're getting exactly what the market is for them.

973
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,000
But you know, uh, we have a very poor athletic department.

974
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 10: We're poor. You know, we're poort when I got here,

975
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,679
and we're still poor. We probably have the lowest budget of.

976
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 11: Anybody in power for you know, and you know, the

977
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,400
way our recruiting is going, we have to stop at

978
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,559
some point because we don't have enough money to keep

979
00:45:13,599 --> 00:45:17,840
bringing in any good players. And that's not easy for

980
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:23,360
us to do. You know, people ask about recruiting. You know,

981
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,280
teams that have the best recruiting classes usually have the

982
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,239
most money. That's the way it is today. You know,

983
00:45:31,119 --> 00:45:36,159
like we we know, uh, you know, we signed I

984
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:40,400
Kenna and Rathon early. You know, a lot of these

985
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,239
kids we have will come back, but who knows what

986
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:44,559
else will sign.

987
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 10: There's how much money we have.

988
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 11: It's not about who do we want to signs who

989
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:53,800
can we afford to sign? And even even though we've

990
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,639
been doing this U n il thing that it still.

991
00:45:56,559 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 10: Feels funny for me to even say that.

992
00:45:59,039 --> 00:46:01,199
Speaker 11: So it's like coach shocking that's coming out of my

993
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,320
mouth because for so many years it's illegal to do that.

994
00:46:06,199 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 10: But it is legal now that's what they call it

995
00:46:08,599 --> 00:46:10,000
nil Now it's legal.

996
00:46:11,159 --> 00:46:15,599
Speaker 4: No, it's legal, I would hope at some point and

997
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:17,360
not obviously the chances of all of you doing this

998
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,119
will be will be zero percent. But you you get

999
00:46:20,159 --> 00:46:24,880
a chance just to just sit and talk to Kelvin.

1000
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,639
He's so philosophical about a variety of things, and he's

1001
00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:32,760
got such great quips. Excellent basketball coach is as Og

1002
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,159
as og gets right, I'm doing it for a very

1003
00:46:35,199 --> 00:46:40,119
long period. Yes, So the reality is on the on

1004
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,639
the negative side which he's speaking, the truth is, if

1005
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,119
you want to compete, this is in football and in

1006
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,800
basketball primarily mean yeah, at the end of the day,

1007
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:53,079
you have to have nil money. And he's not the

1008
00:46:53,119 --> 00:46:55,159
only ones saying that. There are other coaches around this

1009
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,920
country that are saying the exact same thing. There's a

1010
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,239
few coaches don't say this because you know, give it

1011
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,000
another word about that LSU Alabama, ALABEMA sort of does.

1012
00:47:04,039 --> 00:47:06,679
But I mean this, but most schools A and M's

1013
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,800
got a treasure chest Texas, TeX's got Cody Campbell, A

1014
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,920
and M's got the variety of different folks there are

1015
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:13,760
they're about.

1016
00:47:13,639 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 3: What you say.

1017
00:47:14,639 --> 00:47:17,639
Speaker 4: I don't know fifteen schools in this country. Maybe maybe

1018
00:47:17,679 --> 00:47:20,280
that's a Tinge High that really don't worry about it.

1019
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,400
There's our alums that will just say I have disposable income,

1020
00:47:24,519 --> 00:47:26,119
I will give it to you, and I'm give it

1021
00:47:26,159 --> 00:47:28,199
to you in large amounts. And when he says we're broke,

1022
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,519
what he's essentially saying is, look there they're paying. The

1023
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,000
players are being paid right now. There's but you can't

1024
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,320
write a check to University Houston Basketball or University US

1025
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,760
Athletics give him two hudred and fifty dollars and say

1026
00:47:41,199 --> 00:47:43,440
this is this is gonna help. I mean a little

1027
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,400
bit helps along the way. But what he's talking about

1028
00:47:46,519 --> 00:47:49,800
is he needs all in gas money, he needs energy.

1029
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,840
He needs big time businesses to cut seven figure deals

1030
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,599
because that's what it takes to keep these kids. And

1031
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,280
that's not just the University of Houston, that's at eighty

1032
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,960
nine percent of the schools in the country. North Texas

1033
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:06,400
probably feeling that way, saying, Calvin, you got some kids,

1034
00:48:06,519 --> 00:48:09,519
leave us alone. I'm guessing that people at Ball State

1035
00:48:09,519 --> 00:48:12,760
are like, man, that's a tough problem to have. And

1036
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,119
then some of the people will say, and I saw

1037
00:48:14,159 --> 00:48:16,639
this on Twitter, Calvin, you make six million dollars a year.

1038
00:48:18,079 --> 00:48:19,840
You know, if you made five million dollars a year

1039
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,719
or you made four point two million dollars a year,

1040
00:48:22,519 --> 00:48:24,320
giving that money back to the school to help them

1041
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,760
pay could help your program. So there's a lot of

1042
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,920
different ways to go to it. It's a very delicate

1043
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:34,159
conversation to get into I don't have enough money, because

1044
00:48:34,199 --> 00:48:35,840
people in front of you are going to have more money,

1045
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,079
people behind you're gonna be resembled that you're complaining about

1046
00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:39,639
money that you that you have that they don't have,

1047
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:40,320
and you're like, well.

1048
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 3: You'd be happy what you got.

1049
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, this, I mean, this is good from Calvin him

1050
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,400
for him to bang this drum, especially as you mentioned

1051
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,320
a folkloric figure in the University of Houston Athletic Department

1052
00:48:52,679 --> 00:48:54,400
to where maybe this could be a wake up call

1053
00:48:54,519 --> 00:48:57,320
for whether it be big donors or even medium sized donors,

1054
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,159
are all getting together. Because there are a lot of

1055
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,039
University of Houston Cougar's fans who are like, yeah, we're

1056
00:49:03,119 --> 00:49:04,639
the big time and all this stuff, and they get

1057
00:49:04,639 --> 00:49:06,280
all mad at me on their message boards and stuff

1058
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:06,480
like that.

1059
00:49:06,639 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 3: But you get your funds.

1060
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 4: Together, and I love that Kelvin Sampson's calling them out

1061
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:16,400
and saying, hey, something needs to be done here. The

1062
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:23,360
argument I have on this is you can't take for me.

1063
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,239
I mean I could give some money. I can't give

1064
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,400
a lot, but I could give some. Well, if everybody

1065
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:34,880
gave a little bit, it would raise a lot, but

1066
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,599
you would need a big collective to do it.

1067
00:49:37,199 --> 00:49:41,639
Speaker 3: You need a big collective. What you have to do

1068
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:44,880
is you have to go find the millionaires.

1069
00:49:46,519 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 4: And if the millionaires don't have a tie to the

1070
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:54,000
University of Houston, and everybody's poking at these millionaires for money,

1071
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,159
why am I choosing a program in a school that

1072
00:49:58,159 --> 00:50:01,320
I have no affinity for or no relationship with over

1073
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,159
say my alma mater that I went to, or my

1074
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,880
kids went to, or my company was founded by, you know,

1075
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,320
a bunch of scientists that worked for particular school that was.

1076
00:50:11,559 --> 00:50:13,440
That was not a cat call, but it was definitely

1077
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,320
a direct message to if you got money and you

1078
00:50:17,639 --> 00:50:20,920
like seeing us compete. As much as I appreciate the

1079
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,079
fifty to fifty dollars checks and the seventy five hour checks,

1080
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,960
I need you big heavy lifters that want to be

1081
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,480
at the tournament and will hang out with me in

1082
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:30,000
the final four to cut me a six figure check

1083
00:50:30,159 --> 00:50:30,800
bare minimum.

1084
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:31,199
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1085
00:50:31,199 --> 00:50:33,079
Speaker 4: I mean, and I can't do that. I can't can't.

1086
00:50:33,199 --> 00:50:35,400
I really can't even cut a five figure check. I've

1087
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,000
got I've got a family. I just it's hard. I mean,

1088
00:50:38,159 --> 00:50:40,599
my outsider perspective is I mean, obviously you're closer and

1089
00:50:40,639 --> 00:50:42,800
you know Calvin better. It just seems like he's calling

1090
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:48,119
everyone out, from the millionaires to everyone. Yeah, and because

1091
00:50:48,159 --> 00:50:50,679
he's already asked, because Central Campus already pays for a lot.

1092
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,920
I mean, they've they've they've they've rolled over deals to

1093
00:50:55,199 --> 00:50:58,079
take money from the kids school, you know, the student fees,

1094
00:50:58,159 --> 00:51:02,000
and put it towards athletics. The TV money at the

1095
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,960
Big twelve level is really really good, is better. Certainly

1096
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:07,159
was as a members of the American or the or

1097
00:51:07,199 --> 00:51:11,360
Conference USA. But it's still not the level of the SEC,

1098
00:51:11,519 --> 00:51:13,719
and it's not the level of the Big Ten, and

1099
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,800
that's who Kevin wants to compete with. Those are the

1100
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:20,159
two other power conferences in foot in sports that the

1101
00:51:20,199 --> 00:51:27,960
Big twelve wants to be. So I don't know how

1102
00:51:28,159 --> 00:51:31,239
it's resolved. In fact, I don't even think it was

1103
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,800
necessarily a message to get it out there. I think

1104
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,119
he's just saying, we're gonna do our best. But if

1105
00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:39,599
I don't have more money to give these kids, I

1106
00:51:39,679 --> 00:51:42,880
can't get these kids. Because I'm telling you, gang, you

1107
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,679
go to University of Houston, you're gonna get a great

1108
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,960
coach who's gonna treat your sons like father figures, and

1109
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,760
you're gonna get a great education, and you're gonna be

1110
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:52,320
in the city of Houston, Texas, and you get to

1111
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,719
stay home. But the kids in twenty twenty six do.

1112
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 3: Not care about that. Under any circumstance.

1113
00:52:00,199 --> 00:52:04,599
Speaker 4: Ninety nine percent of college players that play college one

1114
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,599
Division one basketball do not make it to the NBA.

1115
00:52:08,599 --> 00:52:10,320
If this is the money they're going to make in

1116
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,880
their life, they're going to go for the biggest deal

1117
00:52:13,559 --> 00:52:16,599
and if Baylor is offering one point six per year

1118
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,679
as compared to the University Houston is offering one point one,

1119
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:21,199
the kid at one is.

1120
00:52:21,199 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 3: Gonna take the one six deal. He just as he should.

1121
00:52:25,599 --> 00:52:25,639
Speaker 1: Not.

1122
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 3: Everybody's gonna do it.

1123
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 4: But if you get the numbers close, situation and coaching correct.

1124
00:52:31,119 --> 00:52:34,800
But that's not close. It's like free agency in regular stalls.

1125
00:52:35,159 --> 00:52:38,519
There's no there's no hometown just very rare anyway.

1126
00:52:38,599 --> 00:52:38,679
Speaker 5: Ye.

1127
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 4: So but here's the thing, and if I am, I mean,

1128
00:52:44,519 --> 00:52:49,280
how many true University Houston fans are are there that

1129
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,880
don't have a dog in the fight. I don't think

1130
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,239
there's a lot. You We always tease you about the

1131
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,840
T shirt fans at Texas and the T shirt fans

1132
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,840
at A and M, because it doesn't take you long

1133
00:53:00,639 --> 00:53:03,119
to connect yourself to somebody that went to those schools.

1134
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:07,159
Because there's such big institutions and there's statewide properties, and

1135
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:10,079
even the University Houston's a state school, it's fragmented a

1136
00:53:10,159 --> 00:53:13,360
round among Texas Tech and TCU and Baylor and SMU.

1137
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,360
I mean, there's there's so many schools in the state.

1138
00:53:16,639 --> 00:53:19,000
If I'm a business owner and I have my kids

1139
00:53:19,079 --> 00:53:21,119
didn't go there, I didn't go there. Why am I

1140
00:53:21,199 --> 00:53:24,039
putting money towards something I don't care about? So I

1141
00:53:24,119 --> 00:53:27,119
don't necessarily blame the all the fortune five hundreds in

1142
00:53:27,159 --> 00:53:29,519
this city for not doing it, because there's no civic

1143
00:53:29,559 --> 00:53:32,800
responsibility to go give money to athletes. That's gonna if

1144
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,880
you're gonna be civic minded and you own a large company,

1145
00:53:36,119 --> 00:53:39,280
you want to help create another museum, or you want

1146
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,559
to build a piece of architecture, or you want to

1147
00:53:41,599 --> 00:53:43,159
build some you know what I'm saying, You're not doing

1148
00:53:43,199 --> 00:53:43,760
it because you want to.

1149
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 3: You're not paying for nineteen year old kids to enjoy themselves.

1150
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:48,239
Does that make sense to you?

1151
00:53:48,639 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 4: So I think it was basically a plea if you

1152
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,159
want to call it a plea for anybody that has

1153
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,159
money at the University Houston, which I don't know. I

1154
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,719
don't get involved in that game. I guarantee you I

1155
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,719
could go find on who has the mine. Yeah, but

1156
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,360
don't you feel like they know, like if you're they

1157
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,679
know absolutely no. And these people I'm sure have been

1158
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,400
contacted over and over again and over and over again.

1159
00:54:10,519 --> 00:54:15,960
So I don't know, man, I just I just hate

1160
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,039
hearing that we got a big victory against UCF and

1161
00:54:18,639 --> 00:54:21,119
Calvin's on the days. He's like, man, we broke you

1162
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:22,719
like these kids, And guess what do you want to

1163
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,480
keep bringing these kids in there? Because they ain't they're

1164
00:54:24,599 --> 00:54:26,679
they're coming here for cash. They're not coming here because

1165
00:54:26,679 --> 00:54:32,119
the cuisine is still and the city culture's fun. Kakeson

01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,199
bunch of pictures of him cutting C. J. Stroude's hair.

1404

make it a new story.

1412
01:06:20,719 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is I just don't get it.

1413
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 4: Why the hell do we care about what our quarterback

1414
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,239
who had six crappy quarters do with his hair during

1415
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,000
the off season is that supposed to Is that supposed

1416
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,239

01:06:35,119 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

1419
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:42,519
Speaker 4: Bad story by gravy training barber looking for some free publicity.

1420
01:06:43,159 --> 01:06:44,760
That's a good way to get some publicity. Hey, it's

1421
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,679
hard out there for the barber's, Maddie. I go to barber's.

1422
01:06:47,679 --> 01:06:49,639
I go to three different barbers in Kingwood. I take

1423
01:06:49,679 --> 01:06:51,880
care of the different one, absolutely, I do. After Are

1424
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,559
you going about every ten days? Maybe sometimes shorter? You

1425
01:06:55,679 --> 01:06:58,920
rotate depends on because some people are off on certain days.

1426
01:06:58,920 --> 01:06:59,840
You're cheating on your barber.

1427
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:01,679
Speaker 3: No, they know, they know I'm gonna.

1428
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 4: They don I'm in an open relationship. Okay, I just

1429
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,159
don't get it. Why don't we care about his hair?

1430
01:07:08,119 --> 01:07:11,159
Is that slow of a news day? I guess I don't.

1431
01:07:11,199 --> 01:07:13,280
I don't know either. While it became I look, I

1432
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:17,920
guess news they got a field to day somehow. But

01:07:18,079 --> 01:07:20,119
I think I'm mostly with you. I don't get why

1434
01:07:20,199 --> 01:07:22,880

01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,199
him cut his hair.

1436
01:07:24,239 --> 01:07:25,400

01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,720
people in Cleveland, Okay, good? You know Garyus Darius Caland

1470
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,520
wasn't super happy. He wants to do his own thing.

1471
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,760
He made public comments like he wants to be the

1472
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,319
big dog and all that stuff. He wants to get

1473
01:09:11,319 --> 01:09:13,279
out of the shadow of Donovan Mitchell this other business.

1474
01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:15,119
Speaker 3: But the big problem with that is that he's always hurt.

1475
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,520
Speaker 4: And you cannot be the big dog if you got

1476
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,640
a part of your paw is always in trouble, or

1477
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:21,840
you get thorns in your paw.

1478
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:29,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess, yeah sure, if you're if

1479
01:09:29,199 --> 01:09:30,239
you're always going to the vet.

1480
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,159
Speaker 4: All right, let's move on. That's hard from this analogy.

1481
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:39,199
So that's you get it. But James Harden, James Harden

1482
01:09:39,279 --> 01:09:43,000
is is the solution. I mean, he's good. He's scoring

1483
01:09:43,079 --> 01:09:46,479
twenty five a game, eight assist a game, but he's

1484
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,560
not going to get that volume of shooting on Cleveland,

1485
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:53,119
good distributor. But then, you know, that's the beauty of

1486
01:09:53,199 --> 01:09:57,880
basketball is it's two way game, and sometimes it's the

1487
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,960
curse of basketball. And while I we'll say James Harden

1488
01:10:01,039 --> 01:10:03,479
was an underrated defender in his prime, he is well

1489
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,439
past his prime, well past his prime, and he's got

1490
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,520
a familiar storyline. Goes to a team, put some decent

1491
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:11,399
regular sis numbers and this year for the Clippers is

1492
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,640
really good. But then he winds up faltering the playoffs

1493
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:19,119
with epically bad performances. I mean, two for eleven, three

1494
01:10:19,199 --> 01:10:22,399
for thirteen, five turnover historically bad.

1495
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, really really bad. All right, what you got next?

1496
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:28,800
All right?

1497
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 4: Now, all right, Nicholas, don't call him Nick, sir, mix

1498
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,079
and Nicholas, Nicholas, what don't you get, my friend?

1499
01:10:36,079 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 12: I don't get why you don't like the Olympics. Matt Oh,

1500
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:45,960
you cut him, old bear, let's go. That's right, Nicholas,

1501
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,159
where you hand up for yourself?

1502
01:10:47,239 --> 01:10:48,119
Speaker 3: Nicholas? Where are you from?

1503
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,359
Speaker 4: I'm from Katie you women, you're a Katie through and

1504
01:10:53,159 --> 01:10:53,880
Katie brethren.

1505
01:10:54,119 --> 01:10:55,039
Speaker 3: Where do you go to high school?

1506
01:10:55,079 --> 01:10:56,159
Speaker 1: I went to Katie High School.

1507
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 3: Oh geez, we paid athletes for like thirty years. You

1508
01:11:00,039 --> 01:11:00,560
know what you did?

1509
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 4: Don't tell me you didn't you hear me, Katie, I

1510
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:06,439
know what you did. Oh wow, Sorry, this sounds like

1511
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,319
made Creek jealousy, is what that sounds like. You know

1512
01:11:08,399 --> 01:11:10,399
that Katie is never the main Creek's never beating Katie

1513
01:11:10,399 --> 01:11:12,960
and football. Ever, how long have they been playing? Oh well,

1514
01:11:13,119 --> 01:11:14,039
I'm eighty eight.

1515
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,079
Speaker 1: It's gonna be at least thirty years.

1516
01:11:16,159 --> 01:11:16,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1517
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,039
Speaker 4: Well I was a class of ninety and we didn't

1518
01:11:18,039 --> 01:11:20,439
beat him. So you were the first class, third class,

1519
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,840
you know, the third class. Okay, so I would say

1520
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,399
probably eighty. They were playing varsit in eighty nine. Yeah, okay,

1521
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,520
so there you go. And that means they're due, Matt, No,

1522
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,800
they're not, dude. That's never gonna happen because Katie, Because

1523
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:33,920
Katie High School pays a player. There's always next year.

1524
01:11:34,319 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 3: They created an i l.

1525
01:11:36,399 --> 01:11:39,159
Speaker 4: They called it corn bread in uh Chicken Fried's Steak

1526
01:11:39,159 --> 01:11:40,920
at the Look Got the Country Cafe.

1527
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 1: And Katie swear we beat every district opponent by like

1528
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:44,640
fifty every week.

1529
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 3: Okay, that's enough from you, all right?

1530
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,600

01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:54,199
this for an hour. You know our training manual. That's

1597
01:14:54,199 --> 01:14:59,359
the number one rule. Trying to get back quickly as possible.

1598
01:15:00,239 --> 01:15:02,000

1606
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,720
I like watching hockey, my anti hockey. It seems like

1607
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:23,680
you hate hockey. You just said you hate the Winter Olympics.

1608
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:24,520
It's the worst thing ever.

1609
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 3: And figure skating wasted their money.

1610
01:15:28,359 --> 01:15:32,239

1611
01:15:32,239 --> 01:15:32,439
they do.

1612
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:36,560
Speaker 3: It's like similar to that skeleton skeleton. It's fine.

01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,600
Speaker 4: You only want, you know, only watching downhill skiing for

1614
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:42,199
the accidents. Just beat the Italian bob side team very

1615
01:15:42,239 --> 01:15:42,840

Speaker 3: What made you say that? I just that's what's what

1617
01:15:45,279 --> 01:15:46,039
the streets are saying.

1618
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:48,399
Speaker 4: There are no streets in Houston talking about Italian bobsie

1619
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:50,279

01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,079
Speaker 3: How am I gonna promote this? I don't know.

1640
01:16:37,319 --> 01:16:38,319

1641
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,560
Speaker 13: Hey, i'mt First of all, congratulations, yeshuay a big day

1642
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:44,840

Speaker 3: That's awesome, so you congrats on that.

1644
01:16:50,399 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 7: Second of all, what I or first of all?

1645
01:16:52,039 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 13: What I don't get I've got to him. I don't

1646
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,520
get how you have time to run a successful business

1647
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,720
like remote for you dot beiz im as sports enterprise.

1648
01:17:00,119 --> 01:17:04,960
It's a major market midday radio program. Look for property

1649
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,960
and when you moved to Minnesota and do the Rockets

1650
01:17:09,039 --> 01:17:11,439
play by playoff at the same time. I just don't

1651
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:12,199
get how you do it.

1652
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:15,560
Speaker 7: And then finally what I don't get.

1653
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 13: It's really what I'm really starting not to get as

1654
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,079
while these guys want to keep coming back for a

1655
01:17:21,279 --> 01:17:25,760
sixth or seventh year of college eligibility, ten years ago

1656
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,399
this would have been unheard of or very very rare.

1657
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,239
Now you got guys like Trinidad Chambliss coming back or

1658
01:17:33,199 --> 01:17:36,399
you know, trying to sue to get a sixth year

1659
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:39,560
or a seventh year. Like, dude, you had a great run.

1660
01:17:40,239 --> 01:17:44,159
Just go out and enjoy life and see what snacks

1661
01:17:44,199 --> 01:17:46,800
instead of trying to hang on to all these glory

1662
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:50,720
days like him and Diego Pavia and the petitioning for

1663
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,840
seventh and eighth and ninth years of eligibility, Like I

1664
01:17:55,079 --> 01:17:57,640
just don't get it. Like at some point, move on,

1665
01:17:58,359 --> 01:18:01,479
nobody wants to see it, twenty seven year old quarterback,

1666
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:03,840
you know, playing against eighteen year olds anymore.

1667
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 5: After a while, it gets ridiculous.

1668
01:18:07,199 --> 01:18:08,600
Speaker 3: Thank you, Brian, I totally get it.

1669
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 4: Brian sadly to say, because most of the kids are

1670
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:13,800
talking about are not going to the NBA, and if

1671
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,960
they're getting and any nil money or any money from

1672
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,960
the school, that's more money than they would get by

1673
01:18:20,039 --> 01:18:22,159
not competing. Yeah, so even if they're not making six

1674
01:18:22,279 --> 01:18:25,199
hundred thousand dollars a year playing football or basketball or baseball,

1675
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:27,880
they maybe getting fifty thousand dollars and that's money that

1676
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:29,399
they can put in their piggy bank for when they're

1677
01:18:29,399 --> 01:18:29,960
done with school.

1678
01:18:30,279 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 3: Any money you can get, might as well get it

1679
01:18:32,039 --> 01:18:33,880
while you can. Yeah, I totally get it.

1680
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 4: Remember Carson Beck kept coming back and back and back

1681
01:18:38,039 --> 01:18:40,359
again because he's not an NFL prospect, but he's a

1682
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,560
good college quarter and got great money to leave Georgia

1683
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,560
to go to UH to Miami. I mean, I totally

1684
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,439
get it, totally get it straight cash homie. Yeah, it

1685
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,840
feels like a lot of a lot of the times

1686
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,560
I just don't get it can be answered with I

1687
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,319
think that's the most popular answer money.

1688
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 3: I don't get it.

1689
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,199
Speaker 4: Why are they doing this money? Why are they knowing

1690
01:19:00,279 --> 01:19:04,840
that money? What's this happening for money? We can always

1691
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:06,279
kind of come back to that, and I just don't

1692
01:19:06,279 --> 01:19:08,800
get it. Yeah, money makes a walk go around. Let's

1693
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,520
talk to Jimmy and tomball on. Jimmy always brings us

1694
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:14,760
more life lessons. So Jimmy, what don't you get this week?

1695
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 3: My man, Matt.

1696
01:19:17,119 --> 01:19:19,119
Speaker 5: You know, not to be rude or anything, but I'm

1697
01:19:19,279 --> 01:19:20,159
asking Ross a question.

1698
01:19:20,399 --> 01:19:23,039
Speaker 3: I I just don't I just don't get why.

1699
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,880
Speaker 7: This is called the Matt Thomas Show when Ross Ross

1700
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:27,000
is the one who carries the show.

1701
01:19:27,159 --> 01:19:28,680
Speaker 14: Matt gone ninety percent of the time.

1702
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 8: I just wondered if Ross.

1703
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 5: Get explained that one to me and I'll hang up

1704
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:32,960
and listen.

1705
01:19:33,079 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 4: Well, it is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Yeah,

1706
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:37,640
even though a lot of our liners don't say that,

1707
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,920
and that's not my fault. Starting to bother me a

1708
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:41,039
little bit, but that's okay.

1709
01:19:41,119 --> 01:19:44,560
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, you know whatever, just a little on

1710
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:45,199
me in the corner.

1711
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 4: It's fine. But it is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

1712
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,920
Which I had to ask for that to be added,

1713
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,720
but we got it out. So it's good you asked.

1714
01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:58,399
And what did I say?

1715
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 3: You said, absolutely absolutely, I did, thank you, Matt. Yeah.

1716
01:20:02,159 --> 01:20:04,039
There are a lot of shows in this country that

1717
01:20:04,199 --> 01:20:04,640
don't do that.

1718
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:05,079
Speaker 7: I know.

1719
01:20:10,119 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 4: And look, here's the reality of it. We both get

1720
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,319
four weeks vacation. I actually get five, but you get four.

1721
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 3: Oh that's nice. And I miss time. Yeah, No, I

1722
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:22,720
will not say that Matt misses too much.

1723
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:24,600
Speaker 4: Time because and first of I don't take the whole

1724
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,000
five weeks, yes, because I feel like and I do

1725
01:20:27,119 --> 01:20:30,000
work holidays and I work weekend so it all evens out.

1726
01:20:30,039 --> 01:20:30,359
Speaker 5: But I do.

1727
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 4: My schedule is disjointed because of the rocket schedule, so

1728
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:37,079
sometimes tough travel. And then yesterday, I love y'all, but

1729
01:20:37,159 --> 01:20:39,720
I'm not missing my daughter's national signing day.

1730
01:20:40,279 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 10: I'm just not.

1731
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 5: No.

1732
01:20:41,079 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 3: Wait, I wouldn't either.

1733
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,319
Speaker 4: And Ross is always saying this, and I'm not trying

1734
01:20:45,319 --> 01:20:47,079
to build a curtain back too much, but he's always saying,

1735
01:20:47,119 --> 01:20:49,199
you need a real vacation. I have not had a

1736
01:20:49,319 --> 01:20:53,079

1807
01:23:48,079 --> 01:23:51,520
the Seahawks. Are you really? Yes? I am.

1808
01:23:53,079 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 4: Seahawks in the ender I'm rooting for Why are you

1809
01:23:56,079 --> 01:23:59,119
shaking your head in me? What's your problem?

1810
01:23:59,199 --> 01:23:59,760
Speaker 3: Can't you just sit?

1811
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,159
Speaker 4: I can enjoy the game for what it is. Oh shush,

1812
01:24:02,399 --> 01:24:04,279
You're the one like I don't have a rooting interest,

1813
01:24:04,319 --> 01:24:05,760
and gay is a very easy way to get a

1814
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:06,439
rooting interest.

1815
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:08,119
Speaker 3: But what if I don't want to bet the game?

1816
01:24:08,239 --> 01:24:09,960
Then don't how you betting?

1817
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:10,239
Speaker 5: You got it?

1818
01:24:10,319 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 3: Brookie? That's none of your business? All right?

1819
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 4: Feels like I am not betting. By the way, I

1820
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,640
am not betting on the game. That would be illegal

1821
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:20,720
in the state of Thank you. You are having a

1822
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,159
I got a friend in Vegas putting down some money

01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:44,039
a proxy guy for sure. He's always wanting to bet

1829
01:24:44,119 --> 01:24:48,399
preseason football, he said. Maybe the best known CFL prones

1830
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:49,600
odds maker.

1831
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:49,840
Speaker 8: I know.

1832
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 4: I think he's got Norway in the curling Championships. You

1833
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:54,680
can't bet, I'm going to say you. Of course you

1834
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,920
can bet on the Olympics. I'm sure you can, but

1835
01:24:58,039 --> 01:25:00,039
you can't find Can you find the lines readily? I

1836
01:25:00,079 --> 01:25:02,159
mean you have to do some deep diving when you

1837
01:25:03,119 --> 01:25:04,439
you get to go in the dark web for that.

1838
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:08,039
I think, Matt, is it five to one still? USA women?

1839
01:25:08,119 --> 01:25:09,560
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think the game might be over.

1840
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:12,079
We have to switch. What else is on?

1841
01:25:12,399 --> 01:25:15,399
Speaker 4: They're downhill skiing. I'll take anything at this point over

1842
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,880
a cross country guy or a downhill guy. Which one

1843
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,000
has more abilities for greater accidents.

1844
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,039
Speaker 3: Probably downhill, downhill, downhill, they go out speeds of like

1845
01:25:25,079 --> 01:25:27,920
one hundred miles an hour. Oh yeah, plus I like him.

1846
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:28,279
Isn't that?

1847
01:25:28,359 --> 01:25:30,159
Speaker 4: Isn't that what Lindsay Vaughan's doing on a torn a

1848
01:25:30,279 --> 01:25:33,000
cl Yep, she's down on one leg and she's still

1849
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,279
gonna be like, what's she gonna after this?

1850
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: She's that psycho though she said the doctors told her

1851
01:25:40,039 --> 01:25:40,800
it was okay, she.

1852
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:45,159
Speaker 4: Gotta rip her knee at half on NBC. I'm worried

1853
01:25:45,159 --> 01:25:47,600
about her. Maybe they'll put that on like on uh

1854
01:25:48,319 --> 01:25:50,359
CNBC or something. Yeah, I mean that's why they had

1855
01:25:50,399 --> 01:25:52,640
that guy free climbing Taipe one on one. Why are

1856
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:55,119
people tuning in now to watch him do it? They're

1857
01:25:55,159 --> 01:25:57,520
to see if he falls, if he ever does something

1858
01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,720
ever again, that dude, I'm not watching it.

1859
01:26:00,199 --> 01:26:01,119
Speaker 3: I didn't watch the first.

1860
01:26:01,279 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 4: That was he's he's done, like the thing that's called

1861
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:07,640
Elcopyitan in Yosemite. Like that's stuff that he actually does

1862
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:09,520
is way harder than climbing up a building like that.

1863
01:26:10,239 --> 01:26:12,720
Speaker 3: Actually, unless there was like a massive gust of window

1864
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:13,279
an earthquake.

1865
01:26:14,399 --> 01:26:16,520
Speaker 4: Ladies, gentlemen, twelve o five. Here on the program, we

1866
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:18,800
give you the top news headlines the day. We got

1867
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,800
a lot of NBA moves to discovers, oh gosh, to

1868
01:26:22,239 --> 01:26:25,359
the Rockets from last night, and a former astro is

1869
01:26:25,399 --> 01:26:26,239
now playing somewhere else.

1870
01:26:26,359 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 3: Whole part of the News at noon. All right, Yeah,

1871
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,039
we can get the bed down a little bit. Thank you, Nicholas.

1872
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:39,520
We've got a lot of stuff to get to here

1873
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:40,840
on the News at noon.

1874
01:26:41,079 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 4: Rockets get crushed by the Boston Celtics, one fourteen to

1875
01:26:44,039 --> 01:26:47,159
ninety three. The big difference was that third period, Matthew

1876
01:26:47,239 --> 01:26:51,199
Derek White making four threes in the third, thirty six

1877
01:26:51,279 --> 01:26:54,239
points for the Celtics, only twenty one for the Rockets.

1878
01:26:55,000 --> 01:27:00,319
Offense sputtered all evening long. Your big three combined to

1879
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:05,760
go twelve for thirty one. Not gonna get it done.

1880
01:27:07,239 --> 01:27:11,000
Ninety three points, not gonna get it done. Not one

1881
01:27:11,079 --> 01:27:13,239
for the history books of the Rockets. One fourteen ninety three.

1882
01:27:13,279 --> 01:27:15,279
They lose to the Boston Celtics. Back in action today

1883
01:27:15,279 --> 01:27:15,960
against the Hornets.

1884
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:17,039
Speaker 3: I'm staring at the box score.

1885
01:27:17,119 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 4: The Celtics out rebounded the Rockets fifty seven to thirty eight.

1886
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:24,479
There's there cannot be a bigger discrepancy in a game

1887
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,399
this season we had last night. Well, you are going

1888
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:28,640
to also be in a discrepancy when you're missing all

1889
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:30,760
of your shots so you don't make shots, there is

1890
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:34,479
going to certainly be a rebounding discrepancy. The Celtics were

1891
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:38,159
led by twenty eight from Derek White, nineteen from Luca Garza,

1892
01:27:38,319 --> 01:27:41,600
twenty seven off the bench. Garza Peyton Pritchard the Caitlin

1893
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:44,000
Clark of the NBA twenty seven off the bench.

1894
01:27:44,039 --> 01:27:46,079
Speaker 3: He also had seven rebounds and Nimia's.

1895
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 4: Kita ten points, nineteen rebounds and five block shots. And

1896
01:27:52,199 --> 01:27:55,960
they used him as the five on one men Thompson

1897
01:27:56,039 --> 01:27:58,640
defense and it was pretty effective for the Boston Celtics.

1898
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,439
Something to keep an eye on as we go along

1899
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:04,479
on the season. Okay, Also the big news of the day,

1900
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:08,039
at least, I guess it's Connie Houston related from bar

1901
01:28:08,159 --> 01:28:13,359
Valdez Agrasa. He's getting paid now, it's a short term deal.

1902
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,000
Three years met I lost the bet, even though we

1903
01:28:16,039 --> 01:28:17,479
made that bet before he melted it down and then

1904
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,239
hit his catcher in the stomach. But I did lose

1905
01:28:20,279 --> 01:28:21,920
the bet even though we didn't put anything on it.

1906
01:28:22,039 --> 01:28:24,960
Tigers get a three year, one hundred and fifteen million

1907
01:28:25,239 --> 01:28:28,399
dollars deal for from Barvaldez.

1908
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,239
Speaker 3: He gets reunited with aj Hinch and it feels so good.

1909
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:36,279
Speaker 4: Trek scouble from er Valdez pitching staff overall looking pretty

1910
01:28:36,279 --> 01:28:38,479
good over there in Detroit. Talk Schooble, by the way,

1911
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:42,239
going to Instagram and putting up a photo of from

1912
01:28:42,279 --> 01:28:46,560
bar Valdez's new contract. Why do you do that, Matt,

1913
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:49,640
Because he's saying they played all the contract language. You're

1914
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,239
putting out the money for him and you can't pay me.

1915
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:57,560
Talk Schooble. Maybe one leading to the other La Dodger

1916
01:28:58,039 --> 01:29:00,840
before you know it, what a doubt. Anybody that's good

1917
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:06,319
goes the Dodgers. Lagrassa is a tiger. But okay, going

1918
01:29:06,359 --> 01:29:08,800
back to the NBA news, of course, it is deadline day.

1919
01:29:09,399 --> 01:29:12,000
All quiet on the Rockets front. The biggest news of

1920
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,520
the day is a trade that is not going to happen.

1921
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,760
The Milwaukee Bucks saying they're going to keep Ianist combo

1922
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:24,840
through the trade deadline and we'll make other moves. This

1923
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:29,319
news coming from ESPN's Sham Sharania. And after several days,

1924
01:29:29,319 --> 01:29:33,000
a fielding offers from the Golden State Warriors, the Miami Heat,

1925
01:29:33,279 --> 01:29:36,439
and the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were among the teams interesting

1926
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:41,720
in acquiring Yannis Essakopa has been ready for a new

1927
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,720
home for months, either at Thursday's deadline.

1928
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:49,600
Speaker 3: Or in the off season. I'm stunned by this.

1929
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:52,720
Speaker 4: I guess I felt like there was five or six

1930
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:54,920
teams they were ready to just to throw the kitchen

1931
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:56,479
sicke at there. Maybe they feel like they'll have a

1932
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,479
better market come the off season following the lottery, where

1933
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:03,560
they can have more more of a concrete idea of

1934
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:05,720
what their draft picks will be if they're wanting future

1935
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,159
draft picks, which of course they're gonna want, so, I

1936
01:30:09,199 --> 01:30:12,079
don't know, all right, Elsewhere a big deal in the NBA.

1937
01:30:12,239 --> 01:30:13,680
Speaker 3: We mentioned this earlier on the show.

1938
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:18,760
Speaker 4: The Warriors are trading Jonathan kaminga buddy healed, both of

1939
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:24,119
those players the Hawks for Christaps Porzingis. So Porzingis is

1940
01:30:24,199 --> 01:30:28,560
going to be a Golden State Warrior. Jonathan kminga out

1941
01:30:29,159 --> 01:30:34,159
buddy healed out as well for the Golden State Warriors.

1942
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 3: Hawks are just I.

1943
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:38,600
Speaker 4: Mean they I think they can get rid of Healed

1944
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,560
and cominga pretty easily in this offseason. Yeah, they're gonna

1945
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:47,119
go full rebuild mode. Traded away Trey Young. They're doing

1946
01:30:47,159 --> 01:30:50,159
their stock polling draft picks. Yes, they are praying for

1947
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:53,319
a top five selection in this draft coming up, all right,

1948
01:30:53,399 --> 01:30:55,479
and elsewhere in the NBA, I mean, there have been

1949
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:59,640
trades flying all over the place. Unfortunately, Rockets target Jose

1950
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,399
al Verrado of the New Orleans Pelicans has been traded

1951
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:07,600
to the New York Knicks in exchange for Dalen Terry,

1952
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:13,479
two second round picks and cash. So a couple of

1953
01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:17,720
second round picks and Dalen Terry, who's, you know, not

1954
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:21,199
some great New York Nick. He's not going to get

1955
01:31:21,199 --> 01:31:25,199
a statue at MiG and two first round picks. I

1956
01:31:25,279 --> 01:31:27,600
guess Rockets just didn't have much will go room. But

1957
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:29,319
Jose Alvarado would have like to see him in the

1958
01:31:29,319 --> 01:31:31,279
Houston Rockets uniform. But he's going to be a New

1959
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:35,279
York Nick and that will do it for the sports

1960
01:31:35,319 --> 01:31:38,560
headlines the day. Okay, thank you very much for that.

1961
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,920
Ross One more, yeah, please. The Vikings have made a higher,

1962

01:31:48,520 --> 01:31:50,800

football operations. He's going to be a football administration consultant

1967
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:00,680
for the Minnesota Vikings.

1968
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:05,600
Speaker 3: Congratulations to Matt Thomas. How many people have sent you

1969
01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:11,119

1984
01:32:51,319 --> 01:32:54,359
to do with it. He's he has reinvented sports entertainment,

1985
01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:56,079
some of it to the detriment. It's not my cup

01:34:01,239 --> 01:34:03,439
the most happened in spot in Indianapolis. I don't believe

people get into a room, shut the door and they go,

2020
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,039
we need to come up with some term for the year,

2021
01:34:36,119 --> 01:34:37,600

2022
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:40,560
Speaker 4: We'll get used to it.

2023
01:34:42,039 --> 01:34:43,920
Speaker 3: Those to me don't do much for me either way.

2024
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:49,319
Speaker 4: Oh, curling is on, yes, now you know this is

2025
01:34:49,399 --> 01:34:51,680
like their home sport, right, Canada's got to be the goats.

01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:53,159
Now you know a friend of mine is doing the

2027
01:34:53,159 --> 01:34:55,600

01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:07,399
curling again. To describe it, it's what is that?

2031
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:08,279
Speaker 5: What is that?

Speaker 4: Stone and they can bump people out of It's like back.

2035
01:35:14,079 --> 01:35:17,760
It's like shuffleboard a little bit. Yeah, it's shuffleboard on ice.

2036
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:25,239
Curling stone is made of rare, exceptionally dense, water resistant

2037
01:35:25,279 --> 01:35:29,399
granite curling, believe it or not. Today come, oh no, no, no,

2038
01:35:29,560 --> 01:35:32,520
we we know Nicholas. Nicholas is getting a day off.

2039
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:34,520
Speaker 3: He doesn't have a run. We don't want that happening.

2040
01:35:35,399 --> 01:35:36,319
I figured you appreciate that.

2041
01:35:36,399 --> 01:35:38,560
Speaker 4: Oh it's Italy versus Canada right now. Oh, this is

2042
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:42,239
like the heavyweight matchup. This is like haggler hearns stop it.

2043
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 3: Oh so you're right? Is you're right? It's more Ali Frasier,

2044
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:49,880
I will go heavyweights. Well, she's cute, so it's mixed.

2045
01:35:50,159 --> 01:35:51,000
It's a guy and a girl.

2046
01:35:51,439 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 4: I don't know how this works. Oh man, this is

2047
01:35:56,119 --> 01:36:00,920
this is drama right here. We should't have dead air,

2048
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:02,840
but it's it. You know what's more fascining than I

2049
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,840
frankly thought it was going to be all right? So

2050
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,560
think about his shuffleboard on ice. Yeah, and you get

2051
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:11,079
to you get to literally walk curling, Thomas, So you

2052
01:36:11,079 --> 01:36:13,600
can call me anything, James inclined.

2053
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:16,199
Speaker 3: James with curler in high school. That's enough for you, James,

2054
01:36:16,239 --> 01:36:16,920
What don't you get?

2055
01:36:18,399 --> 01:36:21,319
Speaker 14: Yeah, last week I went to Lake Charles to go gambling.

2056
01:36:21,600 --> 01:36:23,399
Speaker 15: Yes, and me and my son in law decided to

2057
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:25,800
go over to Shata Okay, and on the way back

2058
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:28,840
from to Shata, there's this black it's like a dodge

2059
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:31,800
charge or whatever with blue lights on. So I said,

2060
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:32,600
well then i'll pull over.

2061
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:35,119
Speaker 14: So I'll pull over. And it was a police officer.

2062
01:36:35,159 --> 01:36:36,760
I thought, think I should have red and blue lights.

2063
01:36:36,800 --> 01:36:38,439
He only had blue lights. But that's not the point.

2064
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,159
The point is he said, I was going sixty two

2065
01:36:41,359 --> 01:36:43,880
and a fifty, say writes now a ticket.

2066
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:45,000
Speaker 7: I'm thinking, do you.

2067
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:46,680
Speaker 14: Want people to come back to Shotter or not? And

2068
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:48,279
it sounds like I was going eighty miles an hour.

2069
01:36:48,319 --> 01:36:49,000
I just don't get it.

2070
01:36:50,199 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 3: Well, you're going twelve miles over. That's I totally get it.

2071
01:36:58,039 --> 01:36:58,840
You were twelve over.

2072
01:36:59,319 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 4: Usually you get the your your buffer zone is about five, right,

2073
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:03,520
Sometimes people are twenty one over.

2074
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:06,520
Speaker 3: Would that be oh, I know who the twenty one

2075
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:07,760
over was? Huh?

2076
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:14,199
Speaker 4: And they still complained. Yeah, somebody else's fault. If I

2077
01:37:14,239 --> 01:37:16,199
didn't have to go there, it would have been an issue.

2078
01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:22,479
Speaker 3: I'm the worst. I'm not far behind.

2079
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 9: Ah.

2080
01:37:24,600 --> 01:37:28,840
Speaker 4: This this curly is thrilling. It's good stuff. Okay, we

2081
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:30,279
have to turn it off. We have to focus on

2082
01:37:30,279 --> 01:37:32,720
the focused and focus people want to hear foot. Yeah, okay,

2083
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:33,439
let's suck football?

2084
01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:34,039
Speaker 3: Okay, CJ.

2085
01:37:34,159 --> 01:37:37,479
Speaker 4: Stroud? Should they extend him? Are they going to activate

2086
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:40,640
the fifth year extension or fifth year option? Does his

2087
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:43,680
haircut mean a sign of a times and a more

2088
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:44,600
mature quarterback.

2089
01:37:45,239 --> 01:37:48,720
Speaker 3: Yes, it's going in.

2090
01:37:49,279 --> 01:37:49,560
Speaker 5: You know what.

2091
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:51,640
Speaker 3: It's a new hair, it's a new do, it's a

2092
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:54,840

never been lower as an NFL head quarterback. I forgot

2098
01:38:06,359 --> 01:38:08,159
to mention this. I did a couple of pole questions.

2099
01:38:08,319 --> 01:38:10,000
Oh you did on Twitter a couple of days ago

2100
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:12,640

2103
01:38:15,640 --> 01:38:17,640
Speaker 3: So I don't. I can see him as I don't care.

2104
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:18,079
All right.

2105
01:38:18,840 --> 01:38:21,760
Speaker 4: Uh, here's the pull court. It was, should you give

2106
01:38:22,359 --> 01:38:25,239
c J. Stroud a clean slate for twenty twenty six?

2107
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:28,680
Most everybody said yes, right they did. In fact, let

01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:32,880
me pull the numbers up six and thirty nine votes.

2109
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:37,359
Just shows you how football is piepulter six thirty nine.

2110
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:40,920
Sixty five percent said sure, why not? Thirty five percent

2111
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:44,840
said Nope, I'm done. The same question was posed at

2112
01:38:45,119 --> 01:38:47,760
just about the exact same time. Only two hundred and

2113
01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:50,199
seventy eight votes came in on this one didn't end

2114
01:38:50,279 --> 01:38:52,199
up in the for you tab as much. Are you

2115
01:38:52,279 --> 01:38:54,199
willing to give Christian Walker a clean slate?

2116
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:55,119
Speaker 5: Sure?

2117
01:38:55,199 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 7: Why not?

2118
01:38:56,039 --> 01:39:00,720
Speaker 4: Seventy percent, Nope, I'm done thirty percent. The reality is

2119
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:03,119
you have to give both those guys clean slates. Yeah,

2120
01:39:03,279 --> 01:39:05,279
I mean, it's going to happen whether you vote for

2121
01:39:05,359 --> 01:39:12,119
it or not. So he can cut his hair, he

2122
01:39:12,199 --> 01:39:15,000
can dye his hair, he can do all the charitable

2123
01:39:15,039 --> 01:39:17,840
things he wants to. There's nothing from a pr image

2124
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:20,000
standpoint he's going to necessarily do. This is going to

2125
01:39:20,119 --> 01:39:21,079
make anybody feel better.

2126
01:39:21,159 --> 01:39:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he can go play. He can just go play

2127
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:25,399
and wins game. You'll play. You don't care what you do,

2128
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:26,560
as long as you perform well.

2129
01:39:29,119 --> 01:39:31,520
Speaker 4: The question you are The thing you must you must

2130
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:34,439
pray for if you are a Texans fan is that

2131
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:36,520
your defense plays every bit as good as it did

2132
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:41,600
a year ago. Chances of that are very slim. Like

2133
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,199
I guess the question would be, and it would take

2134
01:39:43,199 --> 01:39:44,880
a little bit of research, it is, how was the

2135
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:49,000
two thousand and one Baltimore Ravens defense? How are the

2136
01:39:49,159 --> 01:39:52,199
How are the eighty six Bears defense now? A little

2137
01:39:52,239 --> 01:39:54,359
bit different because we're talking about salary caps and what

2138
01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:56,439
thing they didn't have? Any six Bears defense is almosts

2139
01:39:56,439 --> 01:39:58,119
good as eighty five, if not better, depending on what

2140
01:39:58,199 --> 01:40:00,840
metrics you look at. Yeah, but what about two thousand

2141
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:03,279
and one Baltimore Ravens. It's also we're in a different

2142
01:40:03,399 --> 01:40:07,119
era of the salary cap and all this stuff. As

2143
01:40:07,199 --> 01:40:12,560
we keep pointing out the Texans defense was healthy. I'm

2144
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,520
not worried about the finances. I'm more worried about the health.

2145
01:40:18,159 --> 01:40:20,800
What a missed opportunity we can be talking about the

2146
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:22,800
Texans getting their ass kicked in the Super Bowl? Now

2147
01:40:24,039 --> 01:40:26,079
what I think the line would be probably about the

2148
01:40:26,079 --> 01:40:29,479
say maybe five and a half, Yeah, because Sexans were

2149
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:32,840
two and a half dogs with the detections, win two

2150
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:37,239
more playoff games with an average to below average offense.

2151
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,920
If c J doesn't throw the interceptions, could he have

2152
01:40:40,039 --> 01:40:42,159
at least put up more points than the Patriots had

2153
01:40:42,159 --> 01:40:45,079
to to beat them in Foxville. They could have, they

2154
01:40:45,119 --> 01:40:48,279
could have. All right, let's take a quick time out.

2155
01:40:48,279 --> 01:40:53,560
We're gonna go check in in uh San Francisco. All right,

2156
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:56,439
Jonathan give Jonathan's not here.

2157
01:40:56,680 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 3: My name's Ross. Yeah, Ross.

2158
01:40:58,039 --> 01:40:59,600
Speaker 4: We need to give him a definitive. We gotta have

2159
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:01,319
a SENTI go song. Right, We're gonna play something in

2160
01:41:01,319 --> 01:41:03,399
San Francisco's when you want with the Flowers in.

2161
01:41:03,399 --> 01:41:07,199
Speaker 3: Your Hair one. I like that, But that's old. It's old.

2162
01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:09,720
I mean, there's no there's no new happened in San

2163
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:10,680
Francisco songs.

2164
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:12,760
Speaker 4: Well, there's Tony Bennet left My Heart in sanch so

2165
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:14,840
we can play that's yeah old, Yeah, it's old.

2166
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:17,680
Speaker 3: It's also slower. Yes, what's the most upbeat song?

2167
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:18,119
Speaker 5: You can go with?

2168
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:21,079
Speaker 4: Rice Aerroni? The San Francisco Treat. That's not a song,

2169
01:41:21,119 --> 01:41:24,680
that's a commercial, but it's a jingle, which is a song.

2170
01:41:28,079 --> 01:41:32,439
The full house theme done, full house theme. You hear

2171
01:41:32,479 --> 01:41:33,880
me now, Nicholas, I think we might have it in

2172
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:36,680
the system. Full house theme. Next for Softy from kg R.

2173
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:38,359
He's joining us in the Bay Area. Next on seven

2174
01:41:38,359 --> 01:41:38,640
to eighty.

2175
01:41:39,199 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 3: The top ten theme of all time. No, No, No Way, Oh,

2176
01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:49,960
this is a classic. It is not a top ten.

2177
01:41:50,039 --> 01:41:51,640
It's a it's a catchy tune, but it's not a

2178
01:41:51,720 --> 01:41:56,920
top ten. No way, sitcoms only. I'm putting it up there.

2179
01:41:57,159 --> 01:41:58,279
Speaker 7: No chance.

2180
01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Now you're narrowing it down to sitcoms. It's just

2181
01:42:04,039 --> 01:42:08,000
saying you got no chance, no chance, no chance. All right,

2182
01:42:08,079 --> 01:42:09,920
Let's see Rolling Stone put together a list. Let's see

2183
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:13,039
what they have. Number one's Jefferson's We're on the same

2184
01:42:13,079 --> 01:42:17,800
page there, Yes, good times on there list. Uh, gotta

and Gilligan's Island.

2188
01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:29,439
Speaker 3: That can be a tie.

2189
01:42:30,279 --> 01:42:33,079
Speaker 4: Hey, get you know what, Get up the fence, Rolling Stone,

2190
01:42:33,239 --> 01:42:36,960
Stone sucks, Okay, sanfordis on three. I said Octopus's card

2191
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:38,399
and was one of the Beatles' best songs.

2192
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:39,079
Speaker 3: That sucks.

2193
01:42:39,319 --> 01:42:44,760
Speaker 4: The Pistol's golden All right, enough, what was the remix?

2194
01:42:49,319 --> 01:42:50,319
This is the album version?

2195
01:42:50,640 --> 01:42:54,199
Speaker 3: All right, that's enough. Let's let's we're a sports show,

2196
01:42:54,319 --> 01:42:57,239
come on now. We wouldn't want to deject any humor.

2197
01:42:57,039 --> 01:42:57,640
Speaker 10: On this program.

2198
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 3: Lord knows well, I know who's gonna inject some humor.

2199
01:43:02,079 --> 01:43:03,960
All right, let me tell you something. Softy is our guy.

2200
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:07,119
Speaker 4: He was with us a couple of weeks ago, and

2201
01:43:07,319 --> 01:43:10,640
he's like he was passionate, he brought the fire and

2202
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:14,000
people loved him. They don't like him during baseball season

2203
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:16,680
because he likes to make fun of our beloved astros.

2204
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:19,600
We're not gonna tell Softie with the theme of the

2205
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:22,880
twenty twenty six Astros are we we can tell? We'll

2206
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:24,960
tell him, Tortio, tell how bad it is, because he's

2207
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:26,359
gonna make fun of us as he should.

2208
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, as he probably should. Joining us now. K j

2209
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:32,359
R Seattle, the Sports Leader.

2210
01:43:32,880 --> 01:43:36,279
Speaker 4: Spending thousands and thousands of dollars to send all the

2211
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:38,640
radio hosts from KJR to the Bay Area.

2212
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:39,640
Speaker 3: SOFTI, how the hell are you?

2213
01:43:41,279 --> 01:43:43,720
Speaker 7: What are we talking about here? Seventy TV shows?

2214
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:46,640
Speaker 4: But no, we're talking about why you're drinking Taco Bell

2215
01:43:47,159 --> 01:43:48,960
Cantina drinks in San Francisco.

2216
01:43:49,159 --> 01:43:50,239
Speaker 3: Please explain yourself.

2217
01:43:51,359 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 7: I'm not in San Francisco. First of all, I'm in Pacifica, California.

2218
01:43:56,039 --> 01:43:58,199
Staying in San Francisco would have been way too much

2219
01:43:58,279 --> 01:44:00,680
for the iHeart family to afford. They stuck us in

2220
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:04,279
an Airbnb in Daily City, which is about ten miles

2221
01:44:04,359 --> 01:44:07,600
south of San Francisco. We are now in pacifica City,

2222
01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:10,359
which is a beautiful beach area down here by the way,

2223
01:44:10,479 --> 01:44:14,359
right in the Pacific Ocean, and I have absolutely found nirvana.

2224
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:16,760
I have found the only Taco Bell in the country

2225
01:44:17,079 --> 01:44:19,600
with a full bar, and I am sitting here enjoying

2226
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:21,800
a breakfast burrito with a bloody Mary and a cup

2227
01:44:21,840 --> 01:44:24,399
of coffee on the beach at Taco Bell. No matter

2228
01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:27,439
what you accomplished the rest of the day, correct, the

2229
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:29,880
rest of the week, you will never top what I'm

2230
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:34,319
doing right now, By the way, by default a loser.

2231
01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:36,520
Speaker 4: By the way, why didn't you tell me there was

2232
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:38,960
a Matt Thomas that played for that was an administrator

2233
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:40,000
for the Seattle Seahawks.

2234
01:44:40,039 --> 01:44:42,119
Speaker 3: I'm getting some serious runday because of this.

2235
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:45,199
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know. I think you know, being

2236
01:44:45,239 --> 01:44:47,560
in your business is certain things that you should just know.

2237
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:50,479
You were a professional.

2238
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, all right, I'll what's wrong with you?

2239
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:55,039
Name two members of the Texas Front Office.

2240
01:44:55,119 --> 01:44:59,239
Speaker 7: Go Sam Silverman and Shlomo gold Stein.

2241
01:44:59,319 --> 01:45:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see you're a sucher fraud all right?

2242
01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:05,039
Speaker 4: Hey, so are all of you KJRR hosts in the

2243
01:45:05,119 --> 01:45:06,319
same same Airbnb.

2244
01:45:06,399 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 3: Are you all separated by like different rooms and stuff?

2245
01:45:09,399 --> 01:45:11,640
Speaker 7: No? There, So we got we got seven of us here.

2246
01:45:13,119 --> 01:45:15,800
Six of us are in a house, and one of

2247
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:19,159
us is at the Media Hotel up in San Francisco

2248
01:45:19,239 --> 01:45:21,920
on Radio Row. You probably can guess which one of

2249
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:25,279
the seven is at the Media Hotel, and it's the

2250
01:45:25,439 --> 01:45:28,279
one member of our staff without a penis all right,

2251
01:45:28,359 --> 01:45:31,680
because they're not going to stick Jessamine McIntire in a

2252
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:35,039
hotel with a bunch of dudes for six freaking days.

2253
01:45:35,119 --> 01:45:37,880
So all of us are down there at the Airbnb,

2254
01:45:38,319 --> 01:45:42,199
and producer Extraordinary Jessamin McIntyre is up north at the

2255
01:45:42,279 --> 01:45:42,920
Media Hotel.

2256
01:45:43,159 --> 01:45:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, Yeah, So I'm very I think that's.

2257
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:49,880
Speaker 7: Kind of like an iheartman date that you can't have

2258
01:45:50,079 --> 01:45:52,560
six dudes and one girl in a room together.

2259
01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:55,880
Speaker 3: It's actually we all have our own room.

2260
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 7: And our own bed, by the way, which is shocking.

2261
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 3: Matt Thomas is actually the reason for that company mandate.

2262
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:04,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't. I don't doubt it man at all.

2263
01:46:06,279 --> 01:46:10,079
Which Matt Toms or the one for the Seahawks?

2264
01:46:10,319 --> 01:46:14,119
Speaker 4: Yeah all right, Hey, you guys are going to win

2265
01:46:14,199 --> 01:46:15,920
this game by ten points on Sunday.

2266
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:16,800
Speaker 3: You know this correct?

2267
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 7: No, shut up, God, shut your mouth man. Nobody wants

2268
01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:23,720
to hear that. Nobody asks you, nobody cares.

2269
01:46:25,600 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 4: Nothing but Patriots and Seahawks here in Houston, Texas.

2270
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:30,159
Speaker 3: That's all we want to talk about is why don't

2271
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:31,720
the game bring it down?

2272
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:34,399
Speaker 7: The linebackers, why don't you Why don't you just sit

2273
01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:37,159
there and cry over bramber Veld's guarded the Tigers and

2274
01:46:37,279 --> 01:46:39,000
be done with it for crying out loud. Let me

2275
01:46:39,279 --> 01:46:41,800
I mean, the theme for the theme for twenty six

2276
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,159
is going to be sucked for Scooball. That's what it's

2277
01:46:44,199 --> 01:46:46,960
going to be. Just lose as many games as you can,

2278
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,079
as many contracts as you can make room for Scooball,

2279
01:46:51,319 --> 01:46:53,199
and then maybe one day in your lifetime, you guys

2280
01:46:53,279 --> 01:46:54,600
are back in the playoffs. We'll see.

2281
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:57,680
Speaker 3: See that's a softy wed love.

2282
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:00,880
Speaker 4: During the springtime, he's said, I have to join the

2283
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,720
experience of being in the Super Bowl, staying in a

2284
01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:07,520
fancy Airbnb, having tackled.

2285
01:47:07,119 --> 01:47:11,600
Speaker 7: Bell not fancy at all. It's it is not fancy whatsoever.

2286
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:13,840
There's a reason why I am enjoying Taco Bell. By

2287
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:16,399
the way, right now instead of some fancy, fancy breakfast

2288
01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:17,359
restaurants where the.

2289
01:47:17,399 --> 01:47:18,680
Speaker 3: Five lair burrito diets.

2290
01:47:20,279 --> 01:47:23,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah's actually the Gordita.

2291
01:47:24,079 --> 01:47:27,159
Speaker 3: Yeah it's true. All right, Uh, what worries you about

2292
01:47:27,199 --> 01:47:29,680
your squad against the Patriots? Just tell me the truth.

2293
01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:33,439
Speaker 7: Well, right now, it's Nicki Monmourrey's ankle. Are you kidding me?

2294
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:36,359
You see that yesterday? Yeah, Nicky Manoorre, who might be

2295
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:38,960
one of the best, Well, he is one of our

2296
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:40,720
best defensive players, that's for sure.

2297
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:41,560
Speaker 6: Uh.

2298
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:45,239
Speaker 7: He's been playing mostly SAM linebacker. Everybody calls him a safety,

2299
01:47:45,359 --> 01:47:48,239
but he's not a safety. That's just lazy. He's taking

2300
01:47:48,359 --> 01:47:51,000
like five snaps at safety. Almost every snap he's made

2301
01:47:51,039 --> 01:47:53,680
this year has been at the strong side linebacker spot.

2302
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,840
So he's a Sam linebacker. Where's number three? Uh? Looks

2303
01:47:57,119 --> 01:47:59,359
looks nothing like Russell Wilson, But wear's number three like

2304
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:02,199
Russell Wilson did. And he limped off the field yesterday

2305
01:48:02,279 --> 01:48:06,039
with the right ankle injury. So there's a video circulating

2306
01:48:06,079 --> 01:48:08,680
around the web right now of him limping into the

2307
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:11,640
team hotel. I've watched that about five hundred times since

2308
01:48:11,720 --> 01:48:14,279
last night. This is exactly the problem that we had

2309
01:48:14,319 --> 01:48:18,319
with Cam Chancellor eleven years ago against the same you know,

2310
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:22,399
god darned Patriot team. Sorry, when Cam rolled his ankle

2311
01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:24,760
in practice that week, and he just was not the

2312
01:48:24,880 --> 01:48:28,119
same in that game against the Patriots in forty nine.

2313
01:48:28,239 --> 01:48:30,800
So we'll see. But right now, that's what concerns me

2314
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:32,600
is the help in the game and war for sure.

2315
01:48:33,159 --> 01:48:38,640
Speaker 4: Does Gonzales absolutely blanket Jackson Smith and Jingma for the

2316
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:39,800
whole three and a half hours?

2317
01:48:41,239 --> 01:48:43,039
Speaker 7: I don't think so. But even if he does so,

2318
01:48:43,199 --> 01:48:46,880
what who cares? I mean, Matt, Jason Smith and Jimma

2319
01:48:47,079 --> 01:48:50,159
is unguardable even in games where he was under one

2320
01:48:50,239 --> 01:48:53,119
hundred yards, which happened eight times this year. You know

2321
01:48:53,159 --> 01:48:55,279
what the Seahawks record is in those eight games when

2322
01:48:55,359 --> 01:48:57,800
Jackson Smith and Jigma went under one hundred yards, seven

2323
01:49:00,199 --> 01:49:02,600
they did not lose a game with Jackie Smiths and

2324
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:05,600
Jigba going under one hundred yards. So it was pretty good, guests,

2325
01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:07,960
you know, not not not correct, but still pretty good.

2326
01:49:09,039 --> 01:49:11,439
I just think that, you know, there's nobody that can

2327
01:49:11,479 --> 01:49:14,880
stop this guy, uh, down in and down out. And

2328
01:49:15,239 --> 01:49:18,000
I look, Gonzalez is a good player, despite the fact

2329
01:49:18,039 --> 01:49:20,800
that he's a freaking duck. But If that's the best

2330
01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:24,199
that New England has against this Seahawk offense, then they're

2331
01:49:24,239 --> 01:49:26,000
going to be in trouble because they're gonna need to

2332
01:49:26,119 --> 01:49:28,680
cause some havoc with those two big guys in the middle.

2333
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:31,439
They're two big defensive tackles. Is a much bigger concern

2334
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:35,520
for me than Christian Gonzalez shadowing Jackson Smith and jigbu.

2335
01:49:36,640 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 4: Roston legit questions for him. Uh, did you want to

2336
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:41,920
get mad at Matt for talking about somebody on.

2337
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:44,079
Speaker 7: The air who actually had some good questions? Come on,

2338
01:49:44,199 --> 01:49:44,439
let's go.

2339
01:49:44,800 --> 01:49:46,680
Speaker 4: No, I wanted to talk about playoff Sam Donald, like

2340
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:52,359
Matt was saying, last time I told you playoffs donated win?

2341
01:49:53,960 --> 01:49:57,399
Speaker 7: How bad? How about slinging Sammy in the last two

2342
01:49:57,479 --> 01:50:01,119
games against San Francisco in LA. Remember we talked about

2343
01:50:01,199 --> 01:50:03,760
that right when I was on with you guys. This lazy,

2344
01:50:04,159 --> 01:50:07,640
stupid narrative about Sam Donald and he can't deliver in

2345
01:50:07,720 --> 01:50:11,800
the playoffs based on one game, Like, we're gonna go bananas,

2346
01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:14,319
We're gonna lose our mind. We're gonna create this narrative

2347
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:19,000
over one game. Really, I mean, look, you want to

2348
01:50:19,039 --> 01:50:22,119
have a narrative about Lamar Jackson? Great, you want to

2349
01:50:22,119 --> 01:50:25,800
have a narrative about Josh Allen or Sean McDermott, for example.

2350
01:50:26,039 --> 01:50:29,319
That's fine. There's a buttload of data with those guys, right,

2351
01:50:29,399 --> 01:50:32,119
But there was one stay with me now, guys, one

2352
01:50:32,279 --> 01:50:35,640
game on Sam Darnald was the game that led to

2353
01:50:35,720 --> 01:50:39,880
everybody losing their mind. And Donald has been unbelievable come

2354
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:42,840
playoff times. That ram game. I don't think we've talked

2355
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:46,159
into the NFC Championship. Guys, third and seven, we're going

2356
01:50:46,159 --> 01:50:48,800
to a half minutes to go from inside their own thirty.

2357
01:50:49,039 --> 01:50:50,920
I look at my wife and I said, Babe, you're

2358
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:53,439
about to see the biggest play of Sam Darnold's career.

2359
01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:56,199
And he converts on third and seven on a team

2360
01:50:56,279 --> 01:50:59,399
route to Cooper Cup. And they continue and they march,

2361
01:50:59,479 --> 01:51:01,359
and they have been They win the game. So I

2362
01:51:01,399 --> 01:51:04,000
don't have any concerns about Sam Darnald. You know, if

2363
01:51:04,039 --> 01:51:06,279
he ends up throwing a pick, okay, you know what,

2364
01:51:06,479 --> 01:51:08,960
give the Patriots credit, he ends up fumbling the ball,

2365
01:51:09,239 --> 01:51:12,439
okay whatever, Give the Patriots credit. But the Seahawks are

2366
01:51:12,520 --> 01:51:15,680
not losing this game because Sam Darnald cannot handle the

2367
01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:18,199
pressure of playoff football. That's ridiculous.

2368
01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:20,279
Speaker 3: All right now. You were looking for tickets? How you

2369
01:51:20,359 --> 01:51:20,720
doing on that?

2370
01:51:22,119 --> 01:51:24,640
Speaker 7: Got them? Good to go? Good to go, got tickets.

2371
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:28,880
Ticket prices are actually dropping dramatically. You can get in

2372
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:31,319
the door for forty five hundred dollars right now. Is

2373
01:51:31,319 --> 01:51:34,880
close for seven thousand bucks when this thing launched after

2374
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:38,000
the NFC Championship game. But I think they'll drop even more.

2375
01:51:38,079 --> 01:51:39,920
I just think the market was way too high. It

2376
01:51:40,039 --> 01:51:42,760
was way too crazy, and way too many people decided

2377
01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:45,560
to pass on airline tickets and hotels. So a lot

2378
01:51:45,600 --> 01:51:47,239
of people are going to have to scramble and that's

2379
01:51:47,279 --> 01:51:49,279
hard to get a lot of people at the last second,

2380
01:51:49,359 --> 01:51:52,039
obviously to decide to make a trip to San Francisco,

2381
01:51:52,199 --> 01:51:55,159
especially from Boston. So I would not be surprised if

2382
01:51:55,159 --> 01:51:57,960
they're under four thousand bucks by game day. But yeah,

2383
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,560
I was able to get in at face. How about that?

2384
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:01,760
Lucky me? At face?

2385
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:05,600
Speaker 3: Vat face? Who do you show?

2386
01:52:06,239 --> 01:52:09,600
Speaker 7: What are your connections Matt Matt Thomas for the Seahawks.

2387
01:52:10,600 --> 01:52:13,159
Speaker 3: I have no doubt about that all right, last, I

2388
01:52:13,279 --> 01:52:14,239
actually hate you know what.

2389
01:52:14,479 --> 01:52:17,039
Speaker 8: I actually texted you and I said, you know anybody

2390
01:52:17,079 --> 01:52:19,199
from the texting, Yeah you can hook me up?

2391
01:52:19,319 --> 01:52:20,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got nothing.

2392
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:21,319
Speaker 8: I got nothing.

2393
01:52:21,479 --> 01:52:24,159
Speaker 3: I said on it, and then I said on it,

2394
01:52:24,199 --> 01:52:25,640
and I forgot all right.

2395
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:27,720
Speaker 8: Listen, you never texted me back.

2396
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:28,239
Speaker 5: This guy.

2397
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 7: This is what Matt's all about.

2398
01:52:29,920 --> 01:52:32,680
Speaker 5: Everybody he makes promises, yes he can't.

2399
01:52:32,560 --> 01:52:34,760
Speaker 3: Keep uh huh. True, true and true.

2400
01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 4: I got you a sports bar for the final for

2401
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:38,279
the national championship game. And what did that good to

2402
01:52:38,359 --> 01:52:38,760
do you?

2403
01:52:38,920 --> 01:52:39,760
Speaker 3: Nothing? You lost?

2404
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:40,600
Speaker 5: You did? No?

2405
01:52:40,720 --> 01:52:43,000
Speaker 7: No, no, By the way, that that was Tom's right.

2406
01:52:43,159 --> 01:52:44,640
Speaker 3: Yes, don't worry, we were Tom.

2407
01:52:44,960 --> 01:52:47,520
Speaker 7: That place was freaking back. I told you had that

2408
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:51,600
place shammed no Husky fans, dude, Matt, I'm not kidding here.

2409
01:52:51,800 --> 01:52:54,439
There were two thousand Husky fans at that bar. Those

2410
01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:57,319
people were losing their mind. They weren't even prepared. They

2411
01:52:57,439 --> 01:52:59,560
ran out of wings by nine o'clock at night. There

2412
01:52:59,640 --> 01:53:02,119
was no here. By eight thirty, we're sitting around drinking

2413
01:53:02,159 --> 01:53:04,600
water and eating bread just to pass the time at

2414
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:07,039
that place. That was awesome, man, what a night that was.

2415
01:53:07,119 --> 01:53:08,800
But the game's tuck, But that night was great.

2416
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:09,640
Speaker 3: That's fine, all right.

2417
01:53:10,319 --> 01:53:12,840

01:53:43,079 --> 01:53:46,560
to keep it together. Man, No, Jack, I might start

2431
01:53:46,840 --> 01:53:48,600
I might start drooling when he comes over.

2432
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 4: I had Barry Sanders on when I was in Phoenix

2433
01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:53,119
years ago, and that was that was a kid in

2434
01:53:53,159 --> 01:53:55,520
the candy store for me. All right, worst guests, tell

2435
01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:57,439
me some of the crap that your producer's given you,

2436
01:53:57,479 --> 01:53:59,720
because I know that our producers here gave us crap

2437
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:00,399
for me years.

2438
01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:04,560
Speaker 7: You know, we haven't had crap yet so far this week,

2439
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:06,880
mostly because I just don't put them on the air.

2440
01:54:07,279 --> 01:54:09,279
I've gotten to a point with this whole thing, Matt,

2441
01:54:09,359 --> 01:54:11,279
And you've been doing this a long time like I have.

2442
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:15,119
My first Super Bowl was Packers Patriots in ninety six,

2443
01:54:15,319 --> 01:54:18,000
ninety seven from New Orleans and back in the day,

2444
01:54:18,079 --> 01:54:20,399
we would just put any Tom, Dick and Harry on

2445
01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:22,680
the air. Anybody who wanted to go on the air

2446
01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:24,920
is getting on the air, And now we're being selected

2447
01:54:25,399 --> 01:54:27,199
right now. We're not doing that. If I can get

2448
01:54:27,279 --> 01:54:31,439
two or three decent guests today from Radio Row, I'm happy.

2449
01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:34,720
Dick and I drove down to San Jose yesterday thing

2450
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:38,520
out about twenty interviews with Seahawk players from their media availability,

2451
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:41,359
and I think fans back in Seattle would rather hear that.

2452
01:54:41,479 --> 01:54:44,039
I think they'd rather hear from Seahawk fans than, you know,

2453
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:47,600
some guy pushing a freaking ventilator for God's sakes or

2454
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:51,279
a vacation rental property somewhere in Mexico. So we're not

2455
01:54:51,399 --> 01:54:52,319
doing that crap anymore.

2456
01:54:52,319 --> 01:54:54,000
Speaker 4: Well, I want you to get Carl Mecklenberg on the

2457
01:54:54,039 --> 01:54:55,439
show that it'll be a huge gift for your program

2458
01:54:55,520 --> 01:54:56,479
between now and the other week.

2459
01:54:57,399 --> 01:54:59,479
Speaker 7: Carl, the former Denver Bronco.

01:54:59,720 --> 01:55:04,359

2461

Speaker 7: There, Remember the Three Amigos back in the day.

2462
01:55:07,600 --> 01:55:09,760
Speaker 4: No, I don't care about the Broncos. They beat the

2463
01:55:09,800 --> 01:55:11,840
older several times. I don't care about them. By the way,

2464
01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:14,039
you won't be getting Mark because you only return your

2465
01:55:14,079 --> 01:55:14,560

2466
01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:17,920

Speaker 4: Enough Texans on me terrible then cutting oilers. I do

2491
01:56:32,079 --> 01:56:33,960
want them to get an NBA team against great NBA

2492
01:56:34,439 --> 01:56:37,359

2493

2513
01:57:31,640 --> 01:57:34,439
Let's find out. Terry calling us from somewhere in Ohio.

2514
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:36,239
First of all, Terry, thank you for waiting. Where are

2515
01:57:36,239 --> 01:57:36,840
you calling us from?

2516
01:57:36,880 --> 01:57:37,239
Speaker 3: Ohio?

2517
01:57:39,439 --> 01:57:45,760
Speaker 6: Hashtabul What where is it again? Ashtabille? It's about sixty

2518
01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:47,359
miles west of Cleveland.

2519
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:48,159
Speaker 3: Oh nice?

2520
01:57:48,439 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 5: Uh?

2521
01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:51,239
Speaker 3: What's going on today in pastu Beulah? Anything interesting?

2522
01:57:54,039 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 7: No? I got.

2523
01:57:55,039 --> 01:57:57,399
Speaker 6: I got a couple of things about cold Thompson.

2524
01:57:57,680 --> 01:58:01,239
Speaker 8: Oh sure, Hey, he's such a homer.

2525
01:58:01,359 --> 01:58:03,880
Speaker 6: That's why the Texas did to win in the playoffs.

2526
01:58:05,119 --> 01:58:10,239
I want to make two predictions. The Patriots beat the

2527
01:58:10,359 --> 01:58:14,680
Seahawks and the Cavaliers in the Nbig Finals.

2528
01:58:15,039 --> 01:58:16,840
Speaker 3: Wow, because of the James Harden trade.

2529
01:58:18,520 --> 01:58:19,399
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

2530
01:58:20,079 --> 01:58:21,920
Speaker 4: What did you say about Cole Thompson. He's the reason

2531
01:58:21,960 --> 01:58:23,840
why the Texans did not win the playoff game.

2532
01:58:25,199 --> 01:58:28,279
Speaker 6: They kept saying every morning, Oh, they can't lose.

2533
01:58:28,319 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 7: They got c. J.

2534
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:34,439
Speaker 6: Stroud, they got Woody Mars, got Derek Stingley Jr.

2535
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:39,199
Speaker 4: So it's you know what, Terry, you bring up a

2536
01:58:39,279 --> 01:58:41,720
fair point. It probably is on Cole a little bit,

2537
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:42,279
don't you think?

2538
01:58:42,439 --> 01:58:45,359
Speaker 3: I not a lot? They got over confident.

2539
01:58:45,520 --> 01:58:49,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, because frankly Terry Cole's kind of overconfident on

2540
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:52,760
a lot of his Houston Texans sports takes. I don't

2541
01:58:52,800 --> 01:58:54,439
disagree with you on this, by the way, thank you

2542
01:58:54,520 --> 01:58:55,640
for the phone call. Appreciate it.

2543
01:58:56,960 --> 01:59:03,439
Speaker 6: Hey, yes, I can't believe you don't like the Winter

2544
01:59:03,600 --> 01:59:04,479
Olympics map.

2545
01:59:04,760 --> 01:59:08,920
Speaker 3: It's not it's not great. I like the Summer Olympics.

2546
01:59:08,960 --> 01:59:09,119
Speaker 2: Is that?

2547
01:59:09,199 --> 01:59:09,439
Speaker 3: Okay?

2548
01:59:12,920 --> 01:59:14,840
Speaker 6: I like the Winter Olympics.

2549
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:18,840
Speaker 3: Okay, you don't teach his own Terry. What show you watching?

2550
01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:24,640
Speaker 6: I'm not watching anything.

2551
01:59:24,960 --> 01:59:25,359
Speaker 5: What was that?

2552
01:59:25,439 --> 01:59:28,479
Speaker 3: We heard a TV in the background. Radio. It's the radio.

2553
01:59:28,479 --> 01:59:30,920
Hopefully it's on iHeartRadio app Thank you very much, Terry.

2554
01:59:32,159 --> 01:59:34,720
All right, thank you, see, thank you, Terry. I thought

2555
01:59:34,760 --> 01:59:36,880
he was watching Bonanza or something. Yeah, why was col

2556
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:38,760
so arrogant about the Texans running the table?

2557
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:39,399
Speaker 10: I don't know.

2558
01:59:41,079 --> 01:59:43,479
Speaker 4: I'm not up then, so I don't catch the I

2559
01:59:43,520 --> 01:59:46,680
don't normally catch the show. It's called third and long

that show too.

2567
02:00:01,520 --> 02:00:03,119
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know.

2568
02:00:03,239 --> 02:00:06,159
Speaker 4: I mean I would go personally, let's see Matthews and Thompson. Yeah,

CD alright or DNC all right. Um yeah, I mean

2571
02:00:15,479 --> 02:00:18,199
it sound like I despise it win Olympics. But I

2572
02:00:18,319 --> 02:00:22,319
can promise you because my life is ridiculously Hattrick. Right now,

2573
02:00:22,399 --> 02:00:24,479
I'm not going to be sitting down and going I

2574
02:00:24,560 --> 02:00:25,880
need to sit down and watch two or three hours.

2575
02:00:26,359 --> 02:00:28,600
Speaker 3: Snowboard tricks are going pretty good.

2576
02:00:31,760 --> 02:00:34,359
Speaker 4: I wonder if there is active in the Olympic village

2577
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:35,720
as the summer Olympians are.

2578
02:00:36,479 --> 02:00:39,159
Speaker 3: It's colder, Yeah, I probably more active. Gotta get that

2579
02:00:39,239 --> 02:00:44,000
body heat. Do a Google search on that. Oh my gosh.

2580
02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:47,920
Speaker 4: Let's talk to our friend David in Vegas. David, by

2581
02:00:47,920 --> 02:00:50,279
the way, is our proxy for when we win major

2582
02:00:50,319 --> 02:00:51,720
amounts of money in Las Vegas.

2583
02:00:51,800 --> 02:00:52,439
Speaker 3: David, how are you?

2584
02:00:53,800 --> 02:00:56,600
Speaker 5: I'm fine. Yes, I heard my name taken in Vain

2585
02:00:56,720 --> 02:00:58,920
in this context earlier, so I thought i'd check in.

2586
02:00:59,680 --> 02:01:01,800
I have no idea what the laws are about running

2587
02:01:01,840 --> 02:01:04,319
bets for you guys from across state lines. Do I

2588
02:01:04,359 --> 02:01:07,960
get anybody in trouble, you know, I'd be I'm always

2589
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:10,840
here for you. Anything I can do, you just let

2590
02:01:10,960 --> 02:01:13,680
me know. But just you got me thinking a little

2591
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:15,880
bit on the whole subject of betting these winter sports,

2592
02:01:15,920 --> 02:01:19,079
and you probably wonder what I'm up to. Yeah, I mean,

2593
02:01:19,239 --> 02:01:21,079
of course, of all Super Bowl, I kind of agree

2594
02:01:21,079 --> 02:01:23,760
with you guys. I think I've got it at twenty

2595
02:01:23,840 --> 02:01:26,520
four sixteen Seahawks, so kind of a cover and an

2596
02:01:26,760 --> 02:01:28,880
under which is I think where you guys are kind

2597
02:01:28,880 --> 02:01:32,640
of leaning stuff. We'll see if that works out. The

2598
02:01:33,119 --> 02:01:37,039
obviously involved in that I am. I will probably watch

2599
02:01:37,119 --> 02:01:40,039
some Olympics. I certainly will bet and watch some ice

2600
02:01:40,079 --> 02:01:45,359
hoky menzaki anyway, some curling, which has its appeal for

2601
02:01:45,439 --> 02:01:47,119
a number of things. It is a fun betting sport.

2602
02:01:47,199 --> 02:01:50,319
But also did you check out the Sweetish women's team

2603
02:01:50,399 --> 02:01:54,399
last year. I what a smoke show just to watch

2604
02:01:54,439 --> 02:01:55,920
it curly, but.

2605
02:01:57,399 --> 02:01:58,319
Speaker 3: Is always very strong.

2606
02:01:59,640 --> 02:02:05,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I may try a little bit. It's like

2607
02:02:05,439 --> 02:02:08,199
Downhills game and stuff like that. The thing is there's

2608
02:02:08,279 --> 02:02:10,840
a game changer out there a little bit in sports.

2609
02:02:10,920 --> 02:02:14,800
Yelling O very well in Ai, uh you know, every morning,

2610
02:02:14,840 --> 02:02:16,399
and I've been doing this for a couple of weeks.

2611
02:02:16,479 --> 02:02:20,279
Now I get up and I asked my AI program

2612
02:02:20,359 --> 02:02:25,159
two questions. I say, what survey all the hockey handicappers

2613
02:02:25,199 --> 02:02:27,600
and tell me what the bet bet is in the

2614
02:02:28,199 --> 02:02:30,479
shell today? And it gives me an idea and I

2615
02:02:30,600 --> 02:02:32,760
just bet that one game, whether I know or not.

2616
02:02:33,680 --> 02:02:35,680
Do the same thing with college basketball. So it picked

2617
02:02:35,680 --> 02:02:39,279
me a college basketball bet. Any surveys all these handicappers

2618
02:02:39,319 --> 02:02:42,399
that comes up with an answer or multiple answers. Since

2619
02:02:42,439 --> 02:02:44,520
I've been doing that, I mean it's it's been like

2620
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:46,880
nine and five or something, which isn't bad.

2621
02:02:47,039 --> 02:02:47,199
Speaker 7: You know.

2622
02:02:48,439 --> 02:02:51,279
Speaker 5: It's a whole new way to handicap and I think

2623
02:02:51,960 --> 02:02:53,760
may come into play in the Olympics. I mean, we

2624
02:02:53,800 --> 02:02:56,760
don't know anything about mets downhill slollom skiers, but you

2625
02:02:56,800 --> 02:02:58,920
could ask your AI program. I'm gonna make find you

2626
02:02:59,119 --> 02:02:59,520
better too.

2627
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:03,119
Speaker 3: There you go, Thank you very much, David chat GPT

2628
02:03:03,279 --> 02:03:04,000
Maddy Uh.

2629
02:03:04,159 --> 02:03:04,359
Speaker 5: You know.

2630
02:03:06,720 --> 02:03:09,720
Speaker 4: We're running into some trouble. I got people, I got

2631
02:03:09,760 --> 02:03:12,399
friends of mind fighting with chat GPT. I got kids

2632
02:03:12,479 --> 02:03:15,600
in today's high schools and college using chat GPT for

2633
02:03:15,680 --> 02:03:18,359
their for their papers and trying to answer questions. I

2634
02:03:18,439 --> 02:03:22,720
got radio hosts using chat gpt me. It's it's a crutch.

2635
02:03:22,880 --> 02:03:28,439
Speaker 3: It's terrible and it's oftentimes wrong. Managers are using it

2636
02:03:28,560 --> 02:03:33,920
for their evaluations of their employees. Explain, I'm like, uh,

2637
02:03:34,079 --> 02:03:37,119
for year in reviews and stuff like that. You can

2638
02:03:37,199 --> 02:03:41,039
just tell when stuff's written by AI. It just sounds

2639
02:03:41,119 --> 02:03:44,680
a little, for lack of a better term, robotic. Yeah,

2640
02:03:45,039 --> 02:03:48,199
there's no heart, there's no motion to you personal heartless. Yeah, yeah,

2641
02:03:48,640 --> 02:03:49,840
I get you. I got you on that.

2642
02:03:50,159 --> 02:03:52,119
Speaker 4: Thank you for the phone call again to David and

2643
02:03:52,159 --> 02:03:55,279
good luck. I mean that it's an it's an aggregator.

2644
02:03:55,319 --> 02:03:57,560
Clearly does he said give me the best college pick up?

2645
02:03:57,560 --> 02:03:59,840
And you say, hey, if all these of all the handicappers,

2646
02:03:59,880 --> 02:04:03,760
and that's actually not the worst idea ever. If most

2647
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:06,520
handicappers and a lot of talents aren't giving out their

2648
02:04:06,560 --> 02:04:08,560
picks for free, Guys who are moving lines aren't giving

2649
02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:10,119
out their picks for free. If you here see some

2650
02:04:10,359 --> 02:04:12,840
guy and he's got his best bets and he tells

2651
02:04:12,880 --> 02:04:14,920
you that, you know, pay me twenty bucks and I'll

2652
02:04:14,920 --> 02:04:17,039
give you my picks, that guy's not a long term

2653
02:04:17,079 --> 02:04:19,960
winner in all likely. No, No, they want you to

2654
02:04:20,039 --> 02:04:22,960
spend thousands of dollars commit to them monthly because they

2655
02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:26,960
got inside information on a recorded line, inside information on

2656
02:04:27,079 --> 02:04:29,560
a recorded line. We are one hour away from the

2657
02:04:29,640 --> 02:04:32,399
conclusion of the trade deadline. There are five teams that

2658
02:04:32,479 --> 02:04:34,720
have yet to make a move by this trade deadline.

2659
02:04:34,840 --> 02:04:38,520
Twenty five of the thirty NBA teams, that's true, Yeah,

2660
02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:41,159
have made some sort of moves at the deadline. The

2661
02:04:41,279 --> 02:04:44,920
Rockets are not one of them. Will they go do something?

2662
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:49,319
We will discuss. We will discuss the Rocket Celtics loss.

2663
02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:55,319
We will also discuss from ber Valdez not wearing astro

2664
02:04:55,439 --> 02:04:56,000
gear anymore.

2665
02:04:56,319 --> 02:04:57,039
Speaker 3: How sad are we?

2666
02:04:57,279 --> 02:04:59,640
Speaker 4: One to ten, We'll discuss that next final hour Matt

2667
02:04:59,680 --> 02:05:01,880
Thomas Show Ross here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

2668
02:05:04,319 --> 02:05:11,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

2669
02:05:16,359 --> 02:05:16,920
Speaker 5: One four.

2670
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:20,119
Speaker 4: I'm Sports Talk seven ninety final hour of the Matt

2671
02:05:20,279 --> 02:05:21,319
Thomas Show with Ross.

2672
02:05:21,319 --> 02:05:22,640
Speaker 3: It's nice to have you, folks with us.

2673
02:05:22,760 --> 02:05:26,199
Speaker 4: Rockets fall last night to the Boston Celtics by a

2674
02:05:26,239 --> 02:05:29,399
final score of one, fourteen to ninety three. They were

2675
02:05:29,439 --> 02:05:33,600
out rebounded by nineteen. Rockets were down one after one

2676
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:36,600
eighteen seventeen. You're like, okay, nineteen eighty seven, It's like,

2677
02:05:36,680 --> 02:05:40,680
this is fine. Celtics outscore the Rockets thirty one twenty five,

2678
02:05:40,720 --> 02:05:42,159
and I thought, okay, he may dok is gonna go

2679
02:05:42,199 --> 02:05:43,640
in there and give him a good bow pep fashioned

2680
02:05:43,680 --> 02:05:45,640
pep talk. And then the Seas came out and outscore

2681
02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:48,199
the Rockets in the third quarter thirty six to twenty one.

2682
02:05:49,319 --> 02:05:52,279
League got as high as twenty nine. He may got tossed.

2683
02:05:53,000 --> 02:05:55,800
Alprin Shingoon got tossed. Yes, And my guess is Apron's

2684
02:05:55,840 --> 02:06:00,239
going to get suspended, not spend it, could probably get fined. Uh,

2685
02:06:01,640 --> 02:06:03,560
there is a little bit of a slippery slope when

2686
02:06:03,600 --> 02:06:07,119
it comes to female officials. I don't I think they

2687
02:06:07,239 --> 02:06:10,439
treat try to treat them the same. So what Alpern

2688
02:06:10,640 --> 02:06:13,880
Shingoon said, what he said about Jennermer know that he

2689
02:06:13,920 --> 02:06:17,880
would have said to a male official, probably yes, but

2690
02:06:18,039 --> 02:06:21,239
it feels a little more blunt when it's another phrasing

2691
02:06:21,279 --> 02:06:23,880
of a term for oh, he was not appreciative of

2692
02:06:23,960 --> 02:06:26,520
her efforts. Okay, I don't know what you're talking about. Well,

2693
02:06:26,640 --> 02:06:30,399
he just he said a couple of words probably would

2694
02:06:30,439 --> 02:06:34,720
have gotten him slopped, okay by as a girl. But okay,

2695
02:06:36,560 --> 02:06:38,119
I don't want to get too much into it. But okay,

2696
02:06:38,119 --> 02:06:39,840
if you could read lips, you can know exactly what

2697
02:06:39,920 --> 02:06:43,880
he said. So I guess you'll be deducted for saying

2698
02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:46,439
what he said. He got tossed. E mail got tossed.

2699
02:06:46,439 --> 02:06:48,560
And the Rockets have the Hornets coming into town to night,

2700
02:06:48,600 --> 02:06:51,159
who have won seven consecutives. They are twelve and six

2701
02:06:51,199 --> 02:06:53,239
of the Hornets since the turn of the calendar year.

2702
02:06:53,199 --> 02:06:55,840
Speaker 3: So they've been very good. Seven in a row they've won.

2703
02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:58,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, five teams have not made a tray for the deadline,

2704
02:06:58,159 --> 02:06:59,800
which is down down to fifty four minutes. One of

2705
02:06:59,800 --> 02:07:04,720
those five teams would be your beloved Houston Rockets. Um,

2706
02:07:07,279 --> 02:07:08,119
I would be stunted.

2707
02:07:08,159 --> 02:07:10,479
Speaker 3: Here's the thing that bothers me and man, Oh, Eric

2708
02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:14,960
Gordon just got traded. What Eric Gordon? Yes, somewhere Olympiacos.

2709
02:07:15,359 --> 02:07:17,479
Speaker 4: No, the seventy six ers are trading Eric Gordon in

2710
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:24,840
a two thirty two drafts? Could be something else the

2711
02:07:25,039 --> 02:07:30,199
nature would I gotta tease him about this text him, Oh, yeah,

2712
02:07:31,479 --> 02:07:34,319
Eric Gordon is even playing, No, he hardly plays. I

2713
02:07:34,880 --> 02:07:37,920
wonder if he'll even play for the UH for the

2714
02:07:38,600 --> 02:07:44,439
Memphis Grizzlies. So he's going there to Memphis for says

2715
02:07:44,439 --> 02:07:46,960
the seventy six and flexibilities to complete a conversion of

2716
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:48,840
a two way dominic Barlow contract.

2717
02:07:49,000 --> 02:08:02,199
Speaker 3: Grizzlies legend. I don't know that's crazy Clippers or it's Pelicans, Rockets.

2718
02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:04,720
Speaker 4: I mean, there's lots of maneuvering going around, but the

2719
02:08:04,800 --> 02:08:08,239
biggest I mean, James was the big deal going from

2720
02:08:08,399 --> 02:08:10,520
LA to Cleveland. So far, that's the headliner of the

2721
02:08:10,560 --> 02:08:14,840
trade deadline is staying in Milwaukee. Apparently John Morant. They're

2722
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:16,600
still trying to make a move, maybe to get him

2723
02:08:16,600 --> 02:08:18,279
out of Memphis, but they got fifty three minutes to

2724
02:08:18,319 --> 02:08:23,760
do that, and uh, the Rockets at this point have

2725
02:08:23,920 --> 02:08:24,520
not done anything.

2726
02:08:24,680 --> 02:08:26,760
Speaker 3: Do you think team It just seems like maybe teams

2727
02:08:26,800 --> 02:08:28,239
do like to try to wait for the off season,

2728
02:08:29,079 --> 02:08:31,560
especially like when the lottery shakes out, rather than saying, oh,

2729
02:08:31,560 --> 02:08:33,560
I'm getting a lottery pick. Oh I'm getting the number

2730
02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:35,239
one pick or the number two pick. Well, I think

2731
02:08:35,239 --> 02:08:36,760
it's a lot of it is because you're not under

2732
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:39,680
a time crunch like you are today. Maybe that's the reasonabhy.

2733
02:08:39,760 --> 02:08:41,680
Speaker 4: You get more time and you get more of a

2734
02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:46,079
handle on who's who's picking where, and you're dealing with

2735
02:08:46,199 --> 02:08:48,479
more complete information to where you don't have to.

2736
02:08:48,520 --> 02:08:49,439
Speaker 3: Rush it at the deadline.

2737
02:08:51,760 --> 02:08:53,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta get off this for you tab on

2738
02:08:53,439 --> 02:08:54,880
this because there's a lot of things that I mean,

2739
02:08:55,199 --> 02:08:58,520
somebody with you know, these crazy rumors, crazy rumors. Some

2740
02:08:58,600 --> 02:09:01,439
of us sixteen hundred squa of Twitter followers says that

2741
02:09:01,479 --> 02:09:02,840
the Rockets kick the tires.

2742
02:09:02,640 --> 02:09:05,760
Speaker 3: On John Morant. That could be just putting it out there.

2743
02:09:05,920 --> 02:09:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, there needs gonna be that guy a massive, massive

2744
02:09:08,680 --> 02:09:11,279
Twitter penalty for putting on any rodents information. Well, it

2745
02:09:11,399 --> 02:09:12,720
used to be you had a check mark and you

2746
02:09:12,760 --> 02:09:15,560
could trust the information. Then Elon took over and like

2747
02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:17,399
seven bucks you can get a check mark. And then

2748
02:09:17,399 --> 02:09:20,479
now we're gonna have crypto five five billion crypto bots

2749
02:09:20,520 --> 02:09:24,000
with check marks responding with one word to every single tweet. Yeah,

2750
02:09:24,079 --> 02:09:28,359
that real great for the Twitter ecosystem. Been fantastic, And

2751
02:09:28,479 --> 02:09:30,079
we're gonna reward and we're gonna pay him out a

2752
02:09:30,119 --> 02:09:32,279
dollar thirty four for all their impressions and the millions

2753
02:09:32,319 --> 02:09:35,239
of impressions are getting so we're just have people running

2754
02:09:35,279 --> 02:09:35,960
bot farms.

2755
02:09:36,920 --> 02:09:37,279
Speaker 3: Terrible.

2756
02:09:37,640 --> 02:09:39,479
Speaker 4: You know, I really wish something else would take over,

2757
02:09:39,560 --> 02:09:43,239
but that's what it does. Bluesky didn't Works is doing

2758
02:09:43,319 --> 02:09:46,159
a little bit better, but still got a lot of

2759
02:09:46,239 --> 02:09:49,079
salacious material. It's tied to Instagram. So yeah, I got

2760
02:09:49,119 --> 02:09:52,199
one hundred likes on my my Jay little picture on threads. Yeah,

2761
02:09:52,199 --> 02:09:53,800
I don't even post on threads, but I think when

2762
02:09:53,800 --> 02:09:56,640
I from it goes from my so, which is fine,

2763
02:09:56,760 --> 02:09:59,399
that's good. It's all meta, it's all uh Zuckerberg.

2764
02:10:01,399 --> 02:10:02,279
Speaker 3: It's kindly confusing.

2765
02:10:02,399 --> 02:10:05,760
Speaker 4: So all right, rockets fifty one minutes until the trade deadline,

2766
02:10:06,359 --> 02:10:09,560
and I would expect them to. I think the roster

2767
02:10:09,680 --> 02:10:12,159
today is different than it is a week from today,

2768
02:10:12,520 --> 02:10:14,000
but it's not because of what it does happen in

2769
02:10:14,039 --> 02:10:16,880
the next fifty one minutes, just a feeling on that.

2770
02:10:16,960 --> 02:10:18,600
Speaker 3: We'll see who gets bought out and what's going to

2771
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:19,039
go from there.

2772
02:10:19,119 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 4: All Right, other things going on in the world of sports.

2773
02:10:21,640 --> 02:10:23,840
Farber Valden has signs his new contract to go play

2774
02:10:23,880 --> 02:10:27,239
for the Detroit Tigers. Tark School did put a photo

2775
02:10:27,359 --> 02:10:30,680
of the numbers that Frober was getting on his Instagram page.

2776
02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:35,720
Tark School. I think the arbitration hearing is today, if

2777
02:10:35,720 --> 02:10:38,720
I'm not mistaken that right. Yeah, they've had one of

2778
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:41,800
the biggest discrepancies in Manchor League baseball history. I can't

2779
02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:43,680
even remember how much it was it was like thirteen millions.

2780
02:10:43,720 --> 02:10:45,640
How I was going to say thirteen million dollars. We're

2781
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:49,720
both saying that it's probably right. Yeah, uh, it's not

2782
02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:53,119
gonna endwell, Paul Skeenes is not gonna be a pirate

2783
02:10:53,159 --> 02:10:55,640
long term. No, Tark School is not gonna be able

2784
02:10:55,640 --> 02:10:56,760
to try Tiger long term.

2785
02:10:57,159 --> 02:10:57,199
Speaker 5: No.

2786
02:10:58,560 --> 02:11:01,199
Speaker 3: This is what all the owners who are the have

2787
02:11:01,439 --> 02:11:04,000
nuts are lamenting.

2788
02:11:04,399 --> 02:11:06,239
Speaker 4: They do have to trade away their players or get

2789
02:11:06,359 --> 02:11:09,319
rid of them because a cap, even if you even

2790
02:11:09,319 --> 02:11:12,159
if you're a small market team, a cap means the

2791
02:11:12,239 --> 02:11:14,319
Dodgers can't keep stockpiling people.

2792
02:11:14,399 --> 02:11:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not only halves halves nuts in baseball.

2793
02:11:17,399 --> 02:11:19,960
Speaker 4: It's the super halves or really the Dodgers are kind

2794
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:21,640
of in a in a club by themselves.

2795
02:11:22,520 --> 02:11:24,239
Speaker 3: It's the super half Dodgers.

2796
02:11:24,479 --> 02:11:28,359
Speaker 4: It's a have like Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, a couple teams.

2797
02:11:28,760 --> 02:11:30,720
Then it's the middle pack, and then it's the bottom field.

2798
02:11:30,800 --> 02:11:30,880
Speaker 5: Right.

2799
02:11:31,800 --> 02:11:34,479
Speaker 4: Well, I guarantee you this whole deferred payment bit, which

2800
02:11:34,560 --> 02:11:36,399
is the Dodgers are using now, oh yeah, is a

2801
02:11:36,479 --> 02:11:37,079
thing in the past.

2802
02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:38,800
Speaker 3: I'm with you. That's gotta go.

2803
02:11:39,640 --> 02:11:43,239
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous because also it does at the very least,

2804
02:11:43,319 --> 02:11:45,880
it should still count. The aa V should count towards

2805
02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:49,640
the tax threshold because they're circumventing the tax.

2806
02:11:49,560 --> 02:11:52,520
Speaker 3: Because here's the thing, Yeah, you cannot.

2807
02:11:52,600 --> 02:11:56,000
Speaker 4: There are no there are ways around things, but there

2808
02:11:56,079 --> 02:11:59,560
are no crazy loopholes in the NFL salary cap. There

2809
02:11:59,560 --> 02:12:02,720
are no loopholes in the basketball salary cap. There are

2810
02:12:02,760 --> 02:12:06,720
aprons or penalties and whatnot. But what the Dodgers are

2811
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:10,800
doing is, uh, well, they're mortgaging that they're going to

2812
02:12:10,840 --> 02:12:15,840
be as as vibrant as an economic entity thirty years

2813
02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:17,760
from now than they are right now. And if you're

2814
02:12:17,800 --> 02:12:19,720
the Dodgers, you probably can do that. Hopefully they are.

2815
02:12:19,720 --> 02:12:21,720
Hopefully the ENO have the default on show his payments.

2816
02:12:22,560 --> 02:12:23,479
Speaker 3: Here's the thing that.

2817
02:12:25,800 --> 02:12:28,600
Speaker 4: I don't even know if the players understand, because I

2818
02:12:28,640 --> 02:12:32,039
don't think the players care, and they need to. Twenty

2819
02:12:32,520 --> 02:12:36,920
twenty five thirty years of these regional TV networks paying

2820
02:12:37,159 --> 02:12:42,880
rights fees, these rights fees are now going away completely.

2821
02:12:43,800 --> 02:12:48,760
These network these regional TV channels are folding up. And

2822
02:12:49,239 --> 02:12:51,399
whether you and I don't, the players don't care who

2823
02:12:51,479 --> 02:12:53,680
broadcasts the games, how they have fans get them, They

2824
02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:54,119
just don't.

2825
02:12:54,159 --> 02:12:56,479
Speaker 3: They just want to go. But they're gonna carry about.

2826
02:12:56,479 --> 02:12:58,800
Speaker 4: They're gonna care about the fact that that twenty one

2827
02:12:58,880 --> 02:13:01,880
million dollars from Box Sports Cardinals is no longer there

2828
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:03,840
and the Cardinals are now being run by Manja League

2829
02:13:03,840 --> 02:13:06,720
Baseball Broadcasting, where the Cardinals will be on their own

2830
02:13:07,439 --> 02:13:09,279
to get the advertising. But they're not get the rights

2831
02:13:09,319 --> 02:13:11,159
fees like they used to. They're just not Yea, I

2832
02:13:11,239 --> 02:13:15,199
have a dumb question, why why are we watching regional

2833
02:13:15,279 --> 02:13:18,319
sports networks? Not as much as we see a terrible

2834
02:13:18,319 --> 02:13:23,399
account what's there over? The networks are paying too much

2835
02:13:23,439 --> 02:13:25,960
for the rights fees. They can't sell advertising anymore. It

2836
02:13:26,079 --> 02:13:28,960
feels like ratings. I thought ratings are going up for baseball,

2837
02:13:29,039 --> 02:13:31,560
basketball and stuff like that. Is that just national rating

2838
02:13:31,640 --> 02:13:34,159
and they get they can't get the advertising and they

2839
02:13:34,199 --> 02:13:36,640
cannot get the subscriber fees like they used to be

2840
02:13:36,680 --> 02:13:39,920
able to get from the cable companies. Yeah, it's a

2841
02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:42,600
combination of things that makes sense. But again, what the

2842
02:13:42,680 --> 02:13:45,039
problem was ross to begin with. They were already they

2843
02:13:45,079 --> 02:13:50,119
were paying too much. Yeah, and there's about five teams

2844
02:13:50,199 --> 02:13:52,960
in baseball that can justify having their own TV channel.

2845
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:56,800
Speaker 3: The Cubs do well in Chicago, the Dodgers, the Mets, our.

2846
02:13:56,720 --> 02:14:02,399
Speaker 4: Guys at s H and ah SC, Well, it was

2847
02:14:02,479 --> 02:14:05,239
easy for them. The folks that owned Space City Home

2848
02:14:05,319 --> 02:14:08,680
Network said, go lucky, we gave you a space on

2849
02:14:09,000 --> 02:14:12,760
your direct TV. That's a lock done deal. We're not

2850
02:14:12,840 --> 02:14:15,600
going to pay you anymore, but you can have everything.

2851
02:14:16,199 --> 02:14:20,000
The network is yours. So that's why the Rockets and

2852
02:14:20,039 --> 02:14:23,079
the Astros own the network because they were given to them.

2853
02:14:23,119 --> 02:14:25,039
But they were like the people that used to own

2854
02:14:25,119 --> 02:14:26,560
it said, we just not even were on paying.

2855
02:14:26,800 --> 02:14:28,199
Speaker 3: Was AT and T Sports to that, right?

2856
02:14:28,920 --> 02:14:31,520
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, it's AT and T Direct TV owned it

2857
02:14:31,560 --> 02:14:33,600
for others. I mean they'd been moving around left and

2858
02:14:33,680 --> 02:14:35,760
right for four or five years, but yeah, the channel

2859
02:14:35,800 --> 02:14:39,000
space was everything. At least have to worry about finding

2860
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:40,600
a spot on direct TV to go get it six

2861
02:14:40,680 --> 02:14:43,319
seventy four, let's go, it's there. It's there, so uh

2862
02:14:43,479 --> 02:14:46,520
you know that to me. You know, the NFL doesn't

2863
02:14:46,520 --> 02:14:49,159
worry about local TV rights. They have one big national

2864
02:14:49,239 --> 02:14:55,560
television package. Base basketball has a local TV package, but

2865
02:14:55,680 --> 02:14:59,000
it doesn't carry the resident the run that the national

2866
02:14:59,000 --> 02:15:00,239
folks do. I mean, you had a ten being a

2867
02:15:00,279 --> 02:15:02,560
dollar deal coming from the NBA for all their TV

2868
02:15:02,680 --> 02:15:06,119
channels are Yeah that I'm saying Baseball had that the

2869
02:15:06,479 --> 02:15:08,319
macro keeps going up and up and up, and they

2870
02:15:08,399 --> 02:15:10,279
keep getting money and money money just to the micro

2871
02:15:10,560 --> 02:15:13,439
individual teams is not. Yeah, so like finally interesting, Yeah,

2872
02:15:13,479 --> 02:15:14,640
there's gonna be like I want to say it this

2873
02:15:14,760 --> 02:15:16,680
year and they maybe be fifteen teams at Major League

2874
02:15:16,720 --> 02:15:17,800
Baseball operates.

2875
02:15:17,439 --> 02:15:20,000
Speaker 3: Their TV dollars hikes. Now again, they can make money too.

2876
02:15:20,119 --> 02:15:23,720
Speaker 4: I mean they can go sella the Twins can sell

2877
02:15:23,800 --> 02:15:26,680
to local Minneapolis Saint Paul people and whatnot. So it's

2878
02:15:26,680 --> 02:15:30,359
not like it's a Tom Juice Lucy. Yeah, Matt's bar,

2879
02:15:30,600 --> 02:15:34,279
you know, Matt's good. Matt's really good, delicious. Jussie Luthy yea,

2880
02:15:34,760 --> 02:15:37,399
all right, one to fourteen on Sports Talk seven ninety

2881
02:15:37,399 --> 02:15:39,880
seven one three two one two five seven nine. If

2882
02:15:39,880 --> 02:15:41,880
you want to chime in anything we've been discussing so far,

2883
02:15:42,600 --> 02:15:45,720
the Rockets certainly on issue after a very disappointed performance

2884
02:15:45,800 --> 02:15:47,000
last night against the Celtics.

2885
02:15:47,399 --> 02:15:50,119
Speaker 3: Uh, Baseball, we're gonna be in spring training in less

2886
02:15:50,159 --> 02:15:53,960
than two weeks. Oh really, it's be fun m.

2887
02:15:55,680 --> 02:15:57,960
Speaker 4: With so many question marks, probably with the trucks have

2888
02:15:58,079 --> 02:15:59,760
left for West Palm Beach today. As a matter of fact,

2889
02:15:59,800 --> 02:16:03,640
with all the equipment trucks. Yeah, okay, that's gotta be

2890
02:16:03,680 --> 02:16:08,520
a terrible drive. Why just go straight down nine ten? Yeah,

2891
02:16:08,560 --> 02:16:11,119
but then you gonna go south for like another twelve hours. Yeah,

2892
02:16:12,439 --> 02:16:14,479
it's fine. That was always the great part about driving.

2893
02:16:14,760 --> 02:16:16,000
When you go, you thought about when you were a

2894
02:16:16,079 --> 02:16:17,960
kid going to driving to Sea World. Oh, we'll be

2895
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:19,640
there anytime now. And you get to Florida, like, man,

2896
02:16:19,680 --> 02:16:21,000
it took us hardly no time, and then you're stuck

2897
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:22,520
in Florida from nine percent of the trip.

2898
02:16:23,560 --> 02:16:26,279
Speaker 3: Be all right, just don't pick up any lot lizards.

2899
02:16:27,640 --> 02:16:28,880
Speaker 4: By the way, did you tell some people about your

2900
02:16:28,880 --> 02:16:31,319
lot lizards? I did, And what was the response back

2901
02:16:31,359 --> 02:16:33,959
to I got a lot of throwing up emojis, yeah,

2902
02:16:34,360 --> 02:16:36,520
and I got a lot of omgs. And then I

2903
02:16:36,600 --> 02:16:37,959
got one guy who was like, oh yeah, I heard

2904
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:40,200
that from another truck of friend. And by way, it

2905
02:16:40,239 --> 02:16:42,360
was probably best on our best interest not to mention

2906
02:16:42,520 --> 02:16:44,879
that end of the story on the program itself.

2907
02:16:45,120 --> 02:16:46,200
Speaker 3: I'm glad we didn't.

on the show tomorrow.

2914
02:16:59,440 --> 02:17:01,040
Speaker 4: We'll have a chance to ask him how deep in

2915
02:17:01,079 --> 02:17:03,879
the weeds the Rockets got on draft stuff or not draft,

2916
02:17:03,879 --> 02:17:07,079
but on a trade conversation. So about thirty seven minutes

2917
02:17:07,079 --> 02:17:12,360
before the deadline comes and goes, Tom Brady is getting

2918
02:17:12,399 --> 02:17:13,559
worn out by some old teammates.

2919
02:17:13,639 --> 02:17:16,200
Speaker 3: You catch some of this I did. We do have

2920
02:17:16,559 --> 02:17:19,959
a ruling in the Trek Schoobel case. If you'd like that,

2921
02:17:20,200 --> 02:17:23,079
please do so. Breaking news? Sure, why not? I guess

2922
02:17:23,079 --> 02:17:25,879
it's like one, Yeah, I think what you call that one?

2923
02:17:25,879 --> 02:17:26,719
It's fine? Yeah? Sure?

2924
02:17:26,719 --> 02:17:26,959
Speaker 7: Why not?

2925
02:17:30,479 --> 02:17:31,360
Speaker 3: Breaking news?

2926
02:17:31,959 --> 02:17:35,079
Speaker 4: Two time reigning American League p Size Young winner Tarek

2927
02:17:35,120 --> 02:17:39,959
Schooble has won his arbitration case. He will make thirty

2928
02:17:40,079 --> 02:17:46,079
two million dollars this year. This from Jeff Passing. Sources

2929
02:17:46,159 --> 02:17:48,879
tell ESPN schoobls bet to go for the largest salary

2930
02:17:48,959 --> 02:17:52,280
ever in the arbitration system paid off. He'll make thirteen

2931
02:17:52,559 --> 02:17:55,280
million dollars more than the Tigers argued.

2932
02:17:59,120 --> 02:17:59,159
Speaker 3: It.

2933
02:17:59,840 --> 02:18:01,719
Speaker 4: I don't know the situation nearly as intimately as we

2934
02:18:01,760 --> 02:18:05,840
know about the Kyle Tucker situation. You take Tarrek Scooble

2935
02:18:07,159 --> 02:18:10,000
the best picture in the game to arbitration and you

2936
02:18:10,319 --> 02:18:12,639
go in front of a group of people that are

2937
02:18:12,760 --> 02:18:15,000
arbiters and you talk about how you don't like him

2938
02:18:15,040 --> 02:18:18,360
and not worth the money. Yeah, I would not be

2939
02:18:18,440 --> 02:18:20,920
worrying about a retirement of the jersey ceremony for the

2940
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:23,879
Detroit Tigers and targa back to back cy Young winner.

2941
02:18:24,000 --> 02:18:26,239
What is your argument against the back to back cy

2942
02:18:26,319 --> 02:18:28,559
Young Winner. Well, it's not a question than wanting to pay.

2943
02:18:28,600 --> 02:18:30,559
It just was what do you think the fair market

2944
02:18:30,639 --> 02:18:32,680
values and the fair market values Tark Schooble sets the

2945
02:18:32,719 --> 02:18:35,079
market for pair amount. Yes, and now we do have

2946
02:18:35,200 --> 02:18:38,079
some audio from Trek Scooble after the events.

2947
02:18:38,079 --> 02:18:40,319
Speaker 3: Obama's up man. That was what he had to say

2948
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:40,920
to the Tigers.

2949
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:46,040
Speaker 4: Kiss the ring is what he also said, Sorry, you

2950
02:18:46,079 --> 02:18:49,120
were going to Tom Brady Okay, So he was on

2951
02:18:49,280 --> 02:18:51,200
his podcast called It's Really Interesting.

2952
02:18:51,280 --> 02:18:54,959
Speaker 3: It's called Let's Go Where are we going? You're going

2953
02:18:55,000 --> 02:18:55,840
somewhere with Tom Brady.

2954
02:18:55,920 --> 02:19:00,520
Speaker 4: He was asked about who he likes in the game okay,

2955
02:19:01,040 --> 02:19:02,879
and tom Brady's response to that was.

2956
02:19:02,959 --> 02:19:05,639
Speaker 3: Quote, he doesn't have a dog in the fight. Hmm.

2957
02:19:07,719 --> 02:19:07,920
Speaker 10: Well.

2958
02:19:08,159 --> 02:19:14,040
Speaker 4: Vince Wilfork, former Texan great and Rob Grangkowski both calling

2959
02:19:14,200 --> 02:19:20,360
out Tom Brady for his comments. Okay, so Brady again

2960
02:19:20,479 --> 02:19:21,840
said I don't have a dog in the in the

2961
02:19:21,920 --> 02:19:26,000
fight in this one. Made the best team win. Will

2962
02:19:26,120 --> 02:19:30,719
Fork said he basically said that Brady's stance was for

2963
02:19:30,799 --> 02:19:34,079
political reasons and mentions Brady's role as a minority.

2964
02:19:33,719 --> 02:19:35,280
Speaker 3: Owner with the Las Vegas Raiders.

2965
02:19:35,639 --> 02:19:35,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2966
02:19:36,079 --> 02:19:41,520
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're part owner of the Raiders going

2967
02:19:41,600 --> 02:19:45,479
on with Vince that's bullcrap. Tom All, that's political. This

2968
02:19:45,559 --> 02:19:48,719
ain't political. It ain't political what it is. Raiders ain't

2969
02:19:48,799 --> 02:19:51,920
in it. Say what it is what you see. Okay,

2970
02:19:52,079 --> 02:19:53,680
so what if you de scaid I'd like the Seahawks

2971
02:19:53,719 --> 02:20:00,000
to win foot was he talking about who he is

2972
02:20:00,159 --> 02:20:02,920
rooting for? Who he thinks is gonna win? Uh, you know,

2973
02:20:03,000 --> 02:20:05,520
it's a great question. It's definitely a difference. Let me

2974
02:20:05,559 --> 02:20:11,440
see what the exact question was. Is he rooting for

2975
02:20:11,520 --> 02:20:14,280
the Patriots? I mean, Mike Rabels is this guy I

2976
02:20:14,319 --> 02:20:18,520
would assume reading the context of who's rooting for?

2977
02:20:18,799 --> 02:20:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? Is he gonna? Is he gonna go?

2978
02:20:21,479 --> 02:20:24,639
Speaker 4: You know what if you're talking about cold hearted, calculated killers,

2979
02:20:24,680 --> 02:20:27,200
I mean, Tom Brady is on the short list. So

2980
02:20:27,360 --> 02:20:30,840
Will Fork then was asked by a radio host, a

2981
02:20:31,040 --> 02:20:34,840
w e e I in Boston. He says Brady should

2982
02:20:34,840 --> 02:20:37,000
be rooting for New England if he wants to be

2983
02:20:37,120 --> 02:20:43,719
quote a patriot for life. Vince, let me be perfectly clear.

2984
02:20:44,639 --> 02:20:47,680
Tom Brady, whether you want him or not, is a

2985
02:20:47,920 --> 02:20:52,360
patriot for life. You don't have any rings, Vince Wolfork.

2986
02:20:54,360 --> 02:20:57,799
Speaker 3: He does? If not for Tom Brady, Oh, vill Vince Wolfork,

2987
02:20:57,840 --> 02:20:59,799
does it? Vince?

2988
02:21:00,079 --> 02:21:02,719
Speaker 4: You were a run stopper, Yes, you were big and

2989
02:21:02,840 --> 02:21:05,280
nasty in the middle. Yes, But if it ain't for

2990
02:21:05,360 --> 02:21:09,840
Tom Brady, you're just a great nose tackle. You're You

2991
02:21:09,920 --> 02:21:12,280
might have had one ring, but it wouldn't have been multiple.

2992
02:21:13,200 --> 02:21:14,959
So this is a little heavy hand that I think

2993
02:21:15,000 --> 02:21:17,680
from Vince Wilfork. Vince Wilfork does not get to decide

2994
02:21:17,680 --> 02:21:20,120
who a patriot for life is. The Patriots get to

2995
02:21:20,159 --> 02:21:23,399
do it, and the fans do again, I guess, I

2996
02:21:23,479 --> 02:21:26,639
think just Tom Brady. I mean, because he won a

2997
02:21:26,680 --> 02:21:30,440
Super Bowl the Buccaneers and he's part over to the Raiders. Yeah,

2998
02:21:30,520 --> 02:21:33,120
Patriots will always have his heart, but he doesn't have

2999
02:21:33,200 --> 02:21:34,600
to root for them blindly.

3000
02:21:34,239 --> 02:21:34,520
Speaker 10: I guess.

3001
02:21:34,840 --> 02:21:36,200
Speaker 4: And by the way, he's supposed to be an objective

3002
02:21:36,239 --> 02:21:37,680
observer as a Fox broadcaster.

3003
02:21:37,959 --> 02:21:42,879
Speaker 3: Well, yes, that's right, But Vince, you don't get decide

3004
02:21:42,959 --> 02:21:45,159
how I mean his opinion. What do you want? Do

3005
02:21:45,200 --> 02:21:46,280
you want Tom to change his mind?

3006
02:21:46,319 --> 02:21:46,440
Speaker 5: Going?

3007
02:21:46,440 --> 02:21:48,479
Speaker 4: Okay, on second thought, I'm rooting for the Patriots. I mean,

3008
02:21:49,719 --> 02:21:54,040
question asked, questioned, answered, But really you have to understand

3009
02:21:54,120 --> 02:21:58,200
something here that Tom Brady, ladies and gentlemen, is loving

3010
02:21:58,280 --> 02:22:00,440
his life as a minority owner the Las Vegas Traders.

3011
02:22:00,639 --> 02:22:05,280
He was obviously huge into Clint Kubiak's hiring yees, saying

3012
02:22:05,360 --> 02:22:07,120
I don't have a dog in the fight, though, I

3013
02:22:07,200 --> 02:22:11,399
guess is it interesting? Very Brady, that's very milk toast Brady.

3014
02:22:11,840 --> 02:22:15,879
Although he's a much better analyst this year than he

3015
02:22:16,040 --> 02:22:18,280
was last year, as we would expect him to be.

3016
02:22:19,159 --> 02:22:21,120
But he's still gonna be He's still going to walk

3017
02:22:21,280 --> 02:22:27,239
a very nice tightrope to make sure he doesn't anger anybody. Meanwhile,

3018
02:22:29,840 --> 02:22:33,319
Rob Grangkowski, what did he have to say? He says

3019
02:22:33,360 --> 02:22:35,600
he's not spoken with Brady about this year's Super Bowl

3020
02:22:35,639 --> 02:22:38,920
between the Patriots and Seattle, but pondered whether Brady stands

3021
02:22:39,000 --> 02:22:42,879
is fueled by ulterior motives. Oh, It's Brady's podcast with

3022
02:22:43,200 --> 02:22:49,920
m with Jim Gray. You know, quoting Gronkowski. He probably

3023
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:53,600
wants to be the quarterback. He's that competitive. He probably

3024
02:22:53,639 --> 02:22:55,360
wants to be the guy in the Super Bowl right now.

3025
02:22:57,000 --> 02:22:59,440
Then you have a Sante Samuel jumped in in the

3026
02:22:59,479 --> 02:23:04,239
mix of Oh. The former cornerback says he was quote

3027
02:23:04,360 --> 02:23:07,079
highly disappointed and Brady for quote not rooting for your

3028
02:23:07,079 --> 02:23:11,959
ex teammate Mike Rabel. He also accuses Brady of being

3029
02:23:12,079 --> 02:23:17,000
jealous of current Painters quarterback Drake May. This is getting interesting,

3030
02:23:21,520 --> 02:23:25,559
a Sante Samuel. Yeah, I'm pulling it up too, Brady.

3031
02:23:25,639 --> 02:23:27,680
You can't be the only one winning super Bowls. Let

3032
02:23:27,719 --> 02:23:29,760
me find out you hating on Drake May and Rabel.

3033
02:23:30,040 --> 02:23:31,440
I don't have a dog in this fight. Not what

3034
02:23:31,559 --> 02:23:34,079
I wanted to hear. Brady knows how I get down.

3035
02:23:34,360 --> 02:23:38,840
This ain't nothing new to him. Sante Sammy's gonna throw

3036
02:23:38,879 --> 02:23:39,719
hands with Tom Brady.

3037
02:23:41,040 --> 02:23:42,879
Speaker 3: No, he's not. I like to see it.

3038
02:23:44,559 --> 02:23:48,639
Speaker 4: Do I believe that Tom Brady in his mind could

3039
02:23:48,639 --> 02:23:51,319
put a uniform on and go back out and play today. Yes,

3040
02:23:53,040 --> 02:23:56,520
he did it forty five right, he did it when

3041
02:23:56,520 --> 02:23:56,879
no one.

3042
02:23:56,799 --> 02:23:59,079
Speaker 3: Said he could do it. If Philly Rivers can do it,

3043
02:23:59,680 --> 02:24:00,799
Tom Ready can maybe do it.

3044
02:24:01,399 --> 02:24:05,360
Speaker 4: But do I think that Tom is jealous of Drake

3045
02:24:05,440 --> 02:24:09,600
May about ruining the potential legacy of the Patriots quarterbacks atuation?

3046
02:24:13,000 --> 02:24:15,000
That's a little bit of a stretch to me. I

3047
02:24:15,040 --> 02:24:21,440
don't know, unless unless Tom is just that worried. I

3048
02:24:21,559 --> 02:24:23,719
will be brutally honest with you, and I love Monel

3049
02:24:23,799 --> 02:24:27,120
to death. Minel had a Hall of Fame broadcasting career.

3050
02:24:28,360 --> 02:24:32,040
He was always looking over his shoulder for the partners

3051
02:24:32,079 --> 02:24:34,440
of the people around him because he was always afraid

3052
02:24:34,440 --> 02:24:35,360
they were gonna get more.

3053
02:24:35,239 --> 02:24:38,680
Speaker 3: Shine than he was. Uh huh? Is Tom that way?

3054
02:24:38,840 --> 02:24:41,000
I mean you and I yeah, I would.

3055
02:24:41,040 --> 02:24:44,280
Speaker 4: I would say that's it's typical of a narcissistic personality,

3056
02:24:45,079 --> 02:24:47,559
is to want all to shine and then when somebody

3057
02:24:47,600 --> 02:24:50,079
else there or But it seems a little extreme to

3058
02:24:50,159 --> 02:24:52,280
take it that far, like if he's mad that Peyton

3059
02:24:52,319 --> 02:24:54,200
Manny's getting shine or something, or if he's mad that

3060
02:24:54,280 --> 02:24:57,399
one of his contemporaries is getting shy sense not Drake May.

3061
02:24:57,520 --> 02:24:59,760
If he's mad about Drake May getting shine, I mean,

3062
02:24:59,799 --> 02:25:04,920
that's that's an intense that's an intense level of narcissism

3063
02:25:05,079 --> 02:25:09,600
from Tom. Because Tom has done Tom has never Als says,

3064
02:25:09,719 --> 02:25:13,639
right now, he'll never be the throne. I don't unless

3065
02:25:13,760 --> 02:25:16,319
Mahomes wins four or five more Super Bowls. Mahomes is

3066
02:25:16,360 --> 02:25:22,120
at three and he's only twenty nine or how old

3067
02:25:22,159 --> 02:25:25,040
is Mahomes and thirty? But I feel like the Chiefs

3068
02:25:25,079 --> 02:25:27,639
are more dending south than they are upwards. Yeah, but

3069
02:25:27,680 --> 02:25:31,200
we felt like that too after Spygate. They didn't they

3070
02:25:31,280 --> 02:25:33,200
won those three and they didn't win for a long time.

3071
02:25:33,280 --> 02:25:37,799
The Patriots. Yeah, he's thirty. Pat Mahomes has three Super

3072
02:25:37,840 --> 02:25:43,799
Bowls and he's thirty. Tom won seven, Yes, with two

3073
02:25:43,840 --> 02:25:50,239
different teams, one in his early forties. Oh no, there's

3074
02:25:50,280 --> 02:25:52,799
no one touching Tom Brady. They're just not in terms

3075
02:25:52,799 --> 02:25:57,639
of super Bowl six or are I think ultimately longevity success. Yeah,

3076
02:25:58,079 --> 02:26:00,319
he's a freak of nature. He left on top kind

3077
02:26:00,360 --> 02:26:02,920
of you can call it avocado ice cream and TV

3078
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:03,520
twelve method.

3079
02:26:03,559 --> 02:26:06,200
Speaker 3: I mean genetics too, I mean whatever it is. Yeah,

3080
02:26:07,399 --> 02:26:11,600
I don't know it. Does it really?

3081
02:26:11,760 --> 02:26:12,920
Speaker 4: If he says they have a dog in a fight,

3082
02:26:13,120 --> 02:26:16,559
I think he really he's being politically right. He's a politician.

3083
02:26:17,200 --> 02:26:21,360
Tom's a politician. I would say so, Tom again saying completely,

3084
02:26:21,479 --> 02:26:22,920
I don't have a dog in a fight? What what

3085
02:26:23,479 --> 02:26:26,000
was an eyebrow raising comment, like, you don't have any

3086
02:26:26,079 --> 02:26:28,440
dog in the fight. The team who won six Super

3087
02:26:28,479 --> 02:26:32,479
Bowls with is not your dog? You were like, you know,

3088
02:26:32,639 --> 02:26:35,200
you know, my heart is with the Patriots obviously, but

3089
02:26:35,559 --> 02:26:37,479
as far as the game and the way I analyze that,

3090
02:26:37,760 --> 02:26:39,319
I'm not going to be rooting for anyone as an

3091
02:26:39,360 --> 02:26:41,120
owner of the Raiders, like I guess he could have

3092
02:26:41,159 --> 02:26:44,520
phrased it differently to me, this was him trying to

3093
02:26:44,559 --> 02:26:46,680
protect his brain as a minority owner of the Raiders

3094
02:26:46,680 --> 02:26:50,600
more than anything else. That's size it one Sports Talk

3095
02:26:50,639 --> 02:26:52,719
seven ninety. It is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross

3096
02:26:53,079 --> 02:26:55,680
seven one three two one two five seven ninetie seven

3097
02:26:55,719 --> 02:26:57,680
one three two one two five seven.

3098
02:26:57,520 --> 02:27:00,600
Speaker 3: Ninety programs unforth.

3099
02:27:01,760 --> 02:27:08,840
Speaker 4: When yesterday is Charlotte Horns are in town? LaMelo ball

3100
02:27:09,280 --> 02:27:12,719
nineteen points a game, seven and a half assist. How's

3101
02:27:12,760 --> 02:27:16,440
he shooting balls at? Uh, well, thirty six from three

3102
02:27:16,440 --> 02:27:17,520
to forty one from the floor.

3103
02:27:17,639 --> 02:27:21,799
Speaker 3: That's just mid. That's fine, better than his brother. Hey,

3104
02:27:22,200 --> 02:27:23,319
but hey, I'll tell you what.

3105
02:27:23,959 --> 02:27:27,479
Speaker 4: Lonzo gets released by the Jazz, You go get him.

3106
02:27:28,120 --> 02:27:30,760
Doesn't shoot very well at all. He did last year

3107
02:27:30,920 --> 02:27:33,879
or better last year. Yeah, and he was good before

3108
02:27:33,959 --> 02:27:36,319
he had. I mean, how many major injuries as he had.

3109
02:27:38,600 --> 02:27:42,920
It's not like Lonzo Ball hadn't been playing thirty five

3110
02:27:43,000 --> 02:27:45,040
games for the Cavs twenty one minutes a game.

3111
02:27:46,000 --> 02:27:47,520
Speaker 3: I've always wore points, six points.

3112
02:27:48,159 --> 02:27:49,440
Speaker 4: I've been proud of the fact that I kind of

3113
02:27:49,479 --> 02:27:51,959
know who's with whom I am so lost over the

3114
02:27:52,120 --> 02:27:55,799
last handful of days. Uh Evins the Zubats, for those

3115
02:27:55,840 --> 02:27:57,600
of you that are NBA fans, got moved from the

3116
02:27:57,680 --> 02:27:59,639
Clippers to the Indiana Pacers just to go.

3117
02:28:00,760 --> 02:28:04,239
Speaker 3: Rockets struggle against him. So I'm glad he's moving to

3118
02:28:04,280 --> 02:28:04,600
the East.

3119
02:28:04,680 --> 02:28:06,559
Speaker 4: So the Rockets will have two games with the Clippers

3120
02:28:06,680 --> 02:28:10,520
next week and they'll have no James Harden and yeah,

3121
02:28:10,639 --> 02:28:11,600
no events a zu Bons.

3122
02:28:11,719 --> 02:28:12,239
Speaker 3: It's a shame.

3123
02:28:13,520 --> 02:28:15,760
Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard's going to average about thirty five game in

3124
02:28:15,799 --> 02:28:21,360
those two games, provided he plays in both them, or

3125
02:28:21,440 --> 02:28:24,639
maybe he's got to go hang out with his arborous friends. Yeah,

3126
02:28:24,799 --> 02:28:27,639
how we have not heard word one about that. I

3127
02:28:27,680 --> 02:28:30,239
don't know the extra side money. Have you met the

3128
02:28:30,360 --> 02:28:31,479
United States legal system?

3129
02:28:32,159 --> 02:28:32,360
Speaker 10: Yeah?

3130
02:28:32,680 --> 02:28:36,280
Speaker 3: Taking their time, that's for sure. Not known for their

3131
02:28:36,360 --> 02:28:38,520
swift action. Man, No they're not. No, they're not.

3132
02:28:39,280 --> 02:28:41,440
Speaker 4: Uh, and I'm frankly surprised it doesn't have more for

3133
02:28:41,479 --> 02:28:43,920
those who don't know. Again, there is a dummy company

3134
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:47,479
that is being funded by Steve Balmer. Was that is

3135
02:28:47,479 --> 02:28:51,600
accusing money being ship given to Kawhi Leonard on the

3136
02:28:51,639 --> 02:28:55,520
side to circumvent the salary cap. Yeah, for sponsorships, well

3137
02:28:55,559 --> 02:28:59,000
overpaying him for sponsorships to get it. Yes, to circumvent

3138
02:28:59,120 --> 02:29:02,719
the salary cap. Yeah, rocket's tough gold things. I got

3139
02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:05,159
to the Charlotte tonight and we leave tomorrow for Oklahoma

3140
02:29:05,200 --> 02:29:07,079
City for a day game against the Thunder. No, Shae

3141
02:29:07,120 --> 02:29:09,360
Yale was Alexander, and then two games with the Clippers

3142
02:29:09,399 --> 02:29:14,159
Tuesday Wednesday next week before the All Star break, so

3143
02:29:14,239 --> 02:29:14,799
almost you.

3144
02:29:14,840 --> 02:29:17,079
Speaker 3: Know, must win games, baby.

3145
02:29:17,120 --> 02:29:18,479
Speaker 4: Remember I said they were gonning too to one during

3146
02:29:18,520 --> 02:29:20,239
these three games, so they got there, they got their

3147
02:29:20,239 --> 02:29:21,040
work cutoff for him.

3148
02:29:21,079 --> 02:29:22,600
Speaker 3: Now, what did I say?

3149
02:29:23,200 --> 02:29:24,920
Speaker 4: I think you said three and oh, I believe I

3150
02:29:24,959 --> 02:29:26,719
said one and two. But also I didn't know that

3151
02:29:26,920 --> 02:29:29,959
SGA was going to be out, so I'm hopeful. I

3152
02:29:30,040 --> 02:29:31,680
didn't know that half the Celtics gonna be out, and

3153
02:29:31,680 --> 02:29:37,040
I thought it was a guaranteed wine. It wasn't all

3154
02:29:37,079 --> 02:29:39,680
the Jamokes on the uh on the Celtics were able

3155
02:29:39,680 --> 02:29:40,559
to allot of them get to win.

3156
02:29:41,959 --> 02:29:43,879
Speaker 3: That's fine. I just like the fact they had Providence

3157
02:29:43,959 --> 02:29:45,760
listeners listening to us. Well, he was listening to you

3158
02:29:45,799 --> 02:29:49,840
guys on uh two and a half games?

3159
02:29:49,879 --> 02:29:54,520
Speaker 4: Mind the Spurs one game ahead of the six seeded

3160
02:29:54,639 --> 02:29:59,399
Lakers and the seventh seeded Suns. So your like it

3161
02:29:59,479 --> 02:30:01,479
was like one game from being seventh and you're two

3162
02:30:01,479 --> 02:30:02,719
and a half games from being second.

3163
02:30:03,559 --> 02:30:04,360
Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking at some of.

3164
02:30:04,360 --> 02:30:09,120
Speaker 4: The ESPN sports headlines. Kelvin Sampson's comments are the fourth headline?

3165
02:30:09,239 --> 02:30:15,280
Speaker 3: Oh really? Yeah? Uh no, they're probably tailoring that to you, baby.

3166
02:30:15,959 --> 02:30:19,959
Speaker 4: No, because Expatriots star bull crap is first bucks to

3167
02:30:20,040 --> 02:30:22,559
keep you honest to Ford Anders or Rams opponent for

3168
02:30:22,680 --> 02:30:23,639
first Australian game.

3169
02:30:23,719 --> 02:30:28,600
Speaker 3: That sounds that's not going towards me. It's the seventh

3170
02:30:28,639 --> 02:30:30,079
headline for me. Okay.

3171
02:30:31,520 --> 02:30:33,360
Speaker 4: I know that they tailor stuff on ESPN. You know

3172
02:30:33,360 --> 02:30:35,239
how I know because they all the front pages. They

3173
02:30:35,280 --> 02:30:39,559
always get me. They're like, what's Texas Longhorn basketball disappointment

3174
02:30:39,639 --> 02:30:42,360
up to got? I never said I never see that

3175
02:30:42,440 --> 02:30:45,120
new you ever see the headline ever? Sean Miller's latest

3176
02:30:45,159 --> 02:30:47,559
comments calling out his team for fouling too much. But

3177
02:30:47,639 --> 02:30:51,079
those who don't know, Kevin Sampson basically said that the

3178
02:30:51,200 --> 02:30:53,479
University of Houston has the lowest budget of any power

3179
02:30:53,559 --> 02:30:54,159
for school.

3180
02:30:54,840 --> 02:30:59,040
Speaker 3: And he said, we're a poor athletic program. We have

3181
02:30:59,120 --> 02:31:01,639
a very poor athletic artment. We're poor. We were poor

3182
02:31:01,719 --> 02:31:05,399
when I got here, and we're still poor. He doesn't

3183
02:31:05,440 --> 02:31:09,760
mean poorly run either. According to a USA Today database,

3184
02:31:09,799 --> 02:31:10,760
this is where the story comes in.

3185
02:31:10,840 --> 02:31:14,920
Speaker 4: Makes Houston was ranked fifty sixth in Division one athletics

3186
02:31:14,959 --> 02:31:19,760
with a revenue of seventy eight million dollars. Revenue of

3187
02:31:19,840 --> 02:31:24,040
seventy eight million, that's television, that's stadium seats, that's advertising,

3188
02:31:24,120 --> 02:31:27,319
that's everything that could possibly go towards the bottom line

3189
02:31:27,319 --> 02:31:28,479
of athletic department.

3190
02:31:29,680 --> 02:31:34,040
Speaker 3: Texas is athletic budget. Triple that, triple of that.

3191
02:31:38,520 --> 02:31:41,920
Speaker 4: So meanwhile, ESPN called Eddi Nuniez and said, hey, you

3192
02:31:41,920 --> 02:31:43,600
want to comment on what your coach had to say?

3193
02:31:43,760 --> 02:31:45,799
Speaker 3: Uh huh and uh.

3194
02:31:46,559 --> 02:31:49,719
Speaker 4: Athletic director Eddie Nunyaz has been on the show several times,

3195
02:31:49,799 --> 02:31:53,719
issued a call to action looking ahead of the twenty

3196
02:31:53,799 --> 02:31:55,920
twenty five, twenty sixth year. We are embracing the new

3197
02:31:56,000 --> 02:31:58,879
era of college athletics with a positive mindset of bold ambition,

3198
02:31:59,440 --> 02:32:03,079
strategic investment, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Wow, like that,

3199
02:32:03,280 --> 02:32:06,760
there's wrong words. We are not just keeping pace with change.

3200
02:32:06,799 --> 02:32:11,319
We are setting the standard. Whether it's pushing boundaries and performance,

3201
02:32:11,440 --> 02:32:15,319
academics success or community engagement. Our standard is simple excellence

3202
02:32:15,360 --> 02:32:18,120
and everything we do. While revenue sharing with student athletes

3203
02:32:18,200 --> 02:32:20,520
is now officially upon us, it is critical that we

3204
02:32:20,600 --> 02:32:28,040
also maintain anil opportunities for our student athletes. Now, the

3205
02:32:28,120 --> 02:32:30,719
Cougars for the twenty twenty six class have already signed

3206
02:32:30,719 --> 02:32:31,639
a pair of top.

3207
02:32:31,520 --> 02:32:33,479
Speaker 3: Twenty five recruits. Oh nice.

3208
02:32:34,440 --> 02:32:36,959
Speaker 4: Sam's would say during this postgame get together last night

3209
02:32:37,040 --> 02:32:39,239
that his current roster is quote getting exactly what the

3210
02:32:39,319 --> 02:32:41,799
market is for them and not starving. But he warned

3211
02:32:41,840 --> 02:32:44,879
that future roster building could become more challenging unless his

3212
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:49,520
athletic department boost revenue. You know who's also saying that

3213
02:32:50,200 --> 02:32:53,280
probably Indiana University football. You know you should be saying

3214
02:32:53,319 --> 02:32:56,440
that just about everybody. Yeah, you have to if you

3215
02:32:56,600 --> 02:32:59,959
want to get up there with the heavyweights, the big boys,

3216
02:33:00,079 --> 02:33:04,200
the UTAs, the Ohio States, the Michigans, the lsues.

3217
02:33:05,600 --> 02:33:06,200
Speaker 3: It just can't be.

3218
02:33:06,680 --> 02:33:08,200
Speaker 4: It can't be a quick fix. It has to be

3219
02:33:08,239 --> 02:33:10,879
a steady stream. And that's why it's going to frankly

3220
02:33:11,040 --> 02:33:17,559
take major corporations and I'm going to sue Ross again

3221
02:33:17,639 --> 02:33:21,000
with some sort of tie of the University of Houston to.

3222
02:33:21,079 --> 02:33:26,559
Speaker 3: Cut the check. How's remote for you, dubiz? Doing remote for.

3223
02:33:26,559 --> 02:33:30,120
Speaker 4: Your dobiz is publicly being on the sock exchange. Okay,

3224
02:33:30,280 --> 02:33:32,440
really it's trading at I think two cents a dollar

3225
02:33:33,159 --> 02:33:39,399
on the dollar. It's bullish as it normally things are, okay, okay, sure, yeah,

3226
02:33:40,200 --> 02:33:42,079
So even if even if I was to cut a

3227
02:33:42,159 --> 02:33:44,200
check for five thousand dollars, guess what you've h would

3228
02:33:44,239 --> 02:33:46,760
tell me, Matt, thank you. We need to be seventy

3229
02:33:46,840 --> 02:33:48,920
five hundred next year, in ten thousand a year after that.

3230
02:33:50,440 --> 02:33:55,479
But really, at the end of the day, it's probably

3231
02:33:55,600 --> 02:33:59,639
Tillman calling his buddies, honestly, right, the other mega millionaires

3232
02:33:59,639 --> 02:34:03,399
in this town on I guess who are those people?

3233
02:34:03,399 --> 02:34:05,079
I mean, I guess we just don't know some oilers.

3234
02:34:05,760 --> 02:34:08,040
I hadn't heard of Cody Campbell until he started. We

3235
02:34:08,120 --> 02:34:09,959
didn't know five years ago. We had no idea who

3236
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:13,559
Cody Campbell was. No text Tech fans did because he

3237
02:34:13,680 --> 02:34:16,040
was a player there and he knew that he was contributing.

3238
02:34:16,079 --> 02:34:22,000
But Cody Campbell's direct cash infusion changed a dormant Texas

3239
02:34:22,040 --> 02:34:23,840
Tech football to a team that went to the College

3240
02:34:23,840 --> 02:34:26,280
Football Playoff, and I guess will be a serious contender

3241
02:34:26,319 --> 02:34:28,920
for a national championship next year. But again, it comes

3242
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:32,520
down to a group of people or in text case,

3243
02:34:32,600 --> 02:34:35,360
one or two that just says whatever it takes now,

3244
02:34:36,239 --> 02:34:38,879
that doesn't guarantee success. How many years is what's his

3245
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:41,959
name up in an Oregon been writing Phil Knight, been

3246
02:34:41,959 --> 02:34:46,280
writing for decades at Oregon decades, only to watch his

3247
02:34:46,360 --> 02:34:48,799
team fumble like fifty times in the beginning of that game,

3248
02:34:48,879 --> 02:34:54,680
and then they'll get their ass kicked. But what Calvin

3249
02:34:54,799 --> 02:34:57,159
is basically saying is I can continue to bring these

3250
02:34:57,200 --> 02:35:00,760
guys in, but as a sweet a as our facilities

3251
02:35:00,799 --> 02:35:02,319
are and as nice as the people are, and if

3252
02:35:02,479 --> 02:35:05,280
the girls are cute here and the food's delicious, they're

3253
02:35:05,280 --> 02:35:08,159
coming for the money. Gotta get some cash going, cash flow.

3254
02:35:11,520 --> 02:35:16,479
It's a big alumni base, huge enrollments going up and up. Yeah,

3255
02:35:17,440 --> 02:35:22,159
but you need I mean you need millionaires billionaires. Well,

3256
02:35:22,239 --> 02:35:23,520
I mean, I don't know how many billionaires do you have?

3257
02:35:23,680 --> 02:35:26,479
HS got gotta get some more. I mean, you know

3258
02:35:26,520 --> 02:35:27,879
what I need to do. I probably need to figure

3259
02:35:27,879 --> 02:35:29,600
out who the group who was a tech the ten

3260
02:35:29,760 --> 02:35:31,040
richest alums are right now.

3261
02:35:31,159 --> 02:35:32,520
Speaker 3: Okay, don't you start calling them.

3262
02:35:33,319 --> 02:35:35,719
Speaker 4: I'm busy. I got a job of the vikings today.

3263
02:35:35,799 --> 02:35:38,040
Sometimes I don't tell you're okay. Yeah, you do a

3264
02:35:38,079 --> 02:35:39,520
lot of scout breaking down a lot of tape. I

3265
02:35:39,520 --> 02:35:41,360
gotta get a nap in before that. I flight to

3266
02:35:41,399 --> 02:35:44,120
Minneapolis one forty six back to wrap things up in

3267
02:35:44,399 --> 02:35:49,200

02:35:57,319 --> 02:35:58,639
take us, We'll go to a brand new producer.

3273
02:35:58,760 --> 02:36:02,319
Speaker 3: So that's not fair. But next time you produce a show,

3274
02:36:02,360 --> 02:36:03,719
we are gonna make you do it. Throw them in

3275
02:36:03,719 --> 02:36:05,760
the fire. Oh it's gonna go awful too.

3276
02:36:06,159 --> 02:36:08,639
Speaker 4: Hey, come on, oh come on, everybody gets just terrible

3279
02:36:14,079 --> 02:36:16,280

3280
02:36:16,440 --> 02:36:19,600
those sounders from the beginning beginning of the first Believe

3281
02:36:19,600 --> 02:36:19,840
it or not?

3282
02:36:22,760 --> 02:36:24,159
Speaker 3: I think I had changed midway through.

3283
02:36:25,239 --> 02:36:28,520
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I don't guess. I don't want to go

3284
02:36:28,559 --> 02:36:31,000
to inside radio. But do you know who's saying I

3285
02:36:31,079 --> 02:36:35,200

of the big booming movie theater speakers. There's the led

02:39:10,280 --> 02:39:12,600
Zeppelin documentary that came out last year that was worth

3356
02:39:59,479 --> 02:40:00,719

had a play extra eight minutes, I prob would have

3361
02:40:10,239 --> 02:40:12,600
covered that. Somebody told me he was fifteen something like that.

3362
02:40:12,840 --> 02:40:15,000
Was that the Rockets eight and a half last night? Well,
