Talk seven ninety Where your.

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:27,239
Speaker 1: Team, My team. America's college basketball team knocked off the

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,960
Texas Tech Red Raiders last sign in Loubock, even.

8
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 3: Though they're not America's college basketball team.

9
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: That would be Duke. No no, no, no, no no,

10
00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:42,039
America's gonna fall in love. Fran Fichella loves the Cougar.

11
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I think fran Fachella wants

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,079
to make sweet love to the Houston Cougars.

13
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: That's how much he loves the Houston.

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 3: Probably always great informed cliche analysis from fran Fachilla.

15
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:53,119
Speaker 1: Oh man, if.

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: We ever got him on the show, I'll make sure

17
00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:56,000
you'll take a break or something work, I believe it

18
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:56,240
or not.

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: Yike sports RV. He's not listening now, is he. Well?

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,479
Speaker 2: I mean we've tried to get him on before. I'm sorry,

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,840
we tried to be honest on this show.

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: Matt. You really think he's a cliche machine? Huh? You

23
00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:08,920
think he's not.

24
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: I've never really paid a whole lot of attention. I

25
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:14,159
just know he's just a huge Calvin Sampson fan.

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,239
Speaker 3: For that, he's not good in my book, Well, who

27
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:19,000
couldn't love Calvin Sampson. Despite his career being marred by

28
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,599
several cheating scandals, he's just done a really great job

29
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,480
and really built up this Cougar's probe that was.

30
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: A one time thing.

31
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:27,519
Speaker 2: And by the way, what he got a five year

32
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,280
ban for basically not basically it's one hundred percent legal mass.

33
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: Well that's okay. It still was a completely illegal then.

34
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:36,120
So Matt, just because you break a marijuana law when

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,480
it was actually on the books doesn't.

36
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: Mean that you know what you didn't break. You locked,

37
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,079
you're about to get blocked like that guy blocked.

38
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: Me this morning.

39
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: I mean, completely disgraceful NCAA sanctions.

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:47,239
Speaker 1: But other than that, I.

41
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: Mean, it's just been great, fantastic stuff from Kelvin Sampson.

42
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,239
One of the great all time college coaches.

43
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:58,079
Speaker 2: First ballot probat my brother pro, first ballot Basketball Hall

44
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,879
of Fame m hmm, one of the goats. Absolutely, By

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,359
the way, shout out to Texas Tech. That place was

46
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,599
rocking last night. Fifteen thousand people at the Wow, schmited

47
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:15,680
supermarkets arena not to be confused with the airline.

48
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: I'm very confused. Yeah, is the supermarkets.

49
00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: Like the airline? Yeah, then not owned by the air

50
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,360
There's delays in every single line.

51
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 3: Oh, they lose your grocery bags.

52
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: I mean, this is great material, but I want to

53
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,759
know the foundation of why this is coming in so quick.

54
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:41,879
Speaker 1: I'm feeling great, Matt. I can tell my gosh, you

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,360
have come in. I mean all kinds of blazing.

56
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: So I did tweet yesterday sorry for your loss at

57
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,879
Pat Mahomes, who was at the game yesterday.

58
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: That's a shame. I actually dropped a like on.

59
00:02:55,879 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: Somebody put that AI picture of Pat Mahomes crying with

60
00:02:58,439 --> 00:02:59,120
Kelvin Samson.

61
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: That was the way I saw that too. That was

62
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:01,159
very fun.

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,039
Speaker 3: You know, I'm look an eight year old when it

64
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:04,120
comes to these AI pictures.

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,319
Speaker 1: They always make me laugh.

66
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:07,599
Speaker 2: Well, the problem is, as much as I want to laugh,

67
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,879
there are sometimes that makes me very scared because I

68
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,319
get fooled about what is being said or what is

69
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,960
being shown. So as long as we I would give

70
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,120
this advice to you and anybody out there, let's just

71
00:03:19,159 --> 00:03:21,800
be super careful what we consume. And what we believe

72
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:23,360
to be AI and what is you know, because it

73
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,520
very well could be AI and it's completely false. But

74
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,199
there is a photo of Pat Mahomes in a in

75
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,039
a Chiefs uniform shaking Kelvin.

76
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: Samson's hands, and that is pretty funny. So and Ross,

77
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,840
you and I have talked about this before.

78
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,759
Speaker 2: You and I in particular, we smack talk each other's university, right,

79
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,240
I mean, it.

80
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,639
Speaker 1: Is unbelievable we've been doing We've.

81
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,919
Speaker 2: Been talking smack about University Houston, University of Texas for

82
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,560
fifteen years.

83
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is unbelievable that you continue to talk smack

84
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,199
about you of h when they've really just done nothing.

85
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,039
Speaker 1: Well, all I can tell you is we're gonna win

86
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,879
another big twelve regular season championship. It's gonna be a

87
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:57,240
worst case of two seed in the NCAA Tournament's get

88
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,240
that one. See, maybe let's go. I'm ready.

89
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:01,479
Speaker 2: And next week when I go to New Orleans, I'll

90
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:03,240
be taking some VENMO money from you and we'll be

91
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,719
putting down a certain wageer towards our beloved to Houston Cougar.

92
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm feeling much better that now.

93
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: I felt better when it was twelve to one, and

94
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,960
now that they keep winning, it might keep going whittling down.

95
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,680
But it was nine to one last week checked.

96
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: Now, Remember my gut feeling was the Cougar is only

97
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,839
gonna lose one conference game.

98
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: Yes they have. Yes, you tried to say zero, and

99
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,800
I backed you off of that.

100
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: I know I almost went back to two, but I'm like,

101
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,319
you know, I gotta stand on my staying firm on this.

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,959
So they're sixteen and one in the conference. They have

103
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:33,879
three conference games left.

104
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,639
Speaker 1: But what are do you know what they are? You know,

105
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,279
I'd have to look it up. Okay, I got it.

106
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:39,680
I got it.

107
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,879
Speaker 3: Home for Cincinnati, dub home for Kansas, dub at Baylor. Duh,

108
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:44,800
you're all good.

109
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:47,199
Speaker 1: Those last two could be kind of tricky. You have though.

110
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Kansas is in the same team.

111
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: They were the last couple of Baylor's five hundred and

112
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,839
the big twelve. Okay, that may be one of my

113
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:56,160
five best gut feelings.

114
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, because normally they're really bad.

115
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for Ross. That's strike three so

116
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:02,680
far on the insulting people today.

117
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: I told you I think I think I'm like twenty

118
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,199
percent meaner to you when you're on the road. Maybe

119
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,040
it's subconscious.

120
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:08,399
Speaker 1: Some of it.

121
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: I think it's fully conscious, ondred percent of it it's subconscious.

122
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

123
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: By the way, we are with you today until eleven fifty,

124
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,800
We've got astrospring training, baseball, and ross.

125
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna play today. The weather is much better and

126
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,839
were than it was yesterday.

127
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:25,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, do we have anybody and we can get a

128
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:26,879
West Palm weather report.

129
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: Well, the forecast yesterday was deluge.

130
00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: And it was like the game was called like it's

131
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,879
seven thirty in the morning, like we're not playing this game.

132
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,279
I think the entire state of Florida was under a

133
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,040
severe thunderstorm. I think games all across the state were

134
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,279
basically canceled.

135
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: Okay, so I want to go.

136
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: Back to my central port of this so uh. And

137
00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:52,519
maybe I'm just built differently, but I think smack talk

138
00:05:52,680 --> 00:06:00,000
among your buddies in college is absolutely of one available

139
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:00,560
to us.

140
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,639
Speaker 1: We should do it.

141
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: As long as we're not taking really really bad cheap shots,

142
00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:12,439
you know, insulting your heritage or insulting your family or insulting.

143
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's a line, and.

144
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: I did, by no means that I crossed the line

145
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:21,879
yesterday when I said sorry, if your lost Pat Mahomes,

146
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,720
that's just regular old smack talk. He's not gonna respond

147
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:28,480
to it. He doesn't care. He gets nine million tweets.

148
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,519
He's also worth five hundred million.

149
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,199
Speaker 1: Dollars at least.

150
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: If a's anybody who's not gonna worry about a little

151
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,759
old radio host in Houston announcer, it's gonna be me.

152
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Pat Mahomes. But I had one guy

153
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:46,639
not only unfollowed me ROSSI, but he blocked me. Love

154
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,160
it blocked me. That's good. You don't want him in

155
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:52,959
your life. I don't want And he's a Texas Tech guy,

156
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,920
and he's a six nineteen sixties music connoisseur, which probably

157
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,839
puts him out a demo which you know by but

158
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,920
it's not the here nor there.

159
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:04,519
Speaker 2: But then this morning, when I woke up, and I

160
00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:07,000
know I was sporadic sleeping habits, but I put a

161
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800
tweet out this morning, I said, look, my son went

162
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:10,680
to Texas Tech.

163
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,879
Speaker 1: I love Lubbock. And you know, if you've listened to

164
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:15,560
the show for any length of time how much I

165
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:16,240
love Lubbock.

166
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: You didn't have to send this, Matt just because people

167
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:20,680
are being soft.

168
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,319
Speaker 2: But I was gonna do it regardless of that guy

169
00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:24,480
or not. I was like, because you know, I mean,

170
00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:26,439
this is the thing, is that you wish that everybody

171
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,240
that followed you on Twitter listened to your show every day.

172
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:32,959
Speaker 1: No, but they don't. So I'm just saying I am

173
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:36,439
very pro Texas Tech. I absolutely love it.

174
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: And if I would have known more about Lubbock when

175
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,639
I was in younger, I might have gone there. They

176
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160
don't have much of a communications school, so it was

177
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:44,759
not really on the top of my list. But I

178
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,079
loved going there. I love when Uveh plays there. I

179
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,720
wish it could have gone last night.

180
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: But at a Rockets game here today, plus the show,

181
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,759
I think Lubbock's fantastic. It's a great college town now.

182
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,519
Speaker 2: Basically people that have told me for generations, including my son,

183
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,560
my wife too, she went to Texa Tech.

184
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: For a while.

185
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: Either you love Lubbock and you want you want to

186
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560
spend as much time there, or you want to get

187
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,680
home as fast as possible because you're largely homesick and

188
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,079
you don't like West Texas. It's there's no middle ground.

189
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,680
It's either you love Lubbock or you hate it.

190
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,839
Speaker 1: So I love it. But this JIBEBRONI I was like,

191
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:17,800
are you kidding me?

192
00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:19,759
Speaker 2: Not only did he unfollow me, which again on people

193
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,000
unfollow things for bad tweets or they don't like him

194
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,399
and you argue, but to block me, I would say,

195
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:27,560
one small thing, ross and please excuse my French on

196
00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:31,519
this bitch, please, and I'm done.

197
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,919
Speaker 3: Thank you, Matt. He's very obviously very upset about the

198
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:36,840
loss last night.

199
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:39,799
Speaker 2: Great crowd. Do you know what the most impressive thing

200
00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:40,879
about the entire night was?

201
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: What was the most impressive thing about the entire night?

202
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:43,879
Speaker 4: That?

203
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: Dude? Did you see the putt? I did not. You

204
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,519
didn't watch the game? Did you? Next?

205
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: I had it on in the background. I I was,

206
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,320
you know, looking up every now and then checking the score.

207
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: There is a guy college kid that put a bug

208
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,600
golf ball on the base line on one another floor

209
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,879
on the floor and rolled a putt ninety four feet

210
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,000
to the other side of the baseline and it went

211
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:14,279
through the hole to win the prize. Oh wow, nice impressed.

212
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: So so, first of all, we do that all the

213
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,639
time at Tota Center. Yeah, for the Rockets games, and

214
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,320
people generally speaking aren't very close.

215
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:21,879
Speaker 1: The last guy was close.

216
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean it's it's been it's been rough

217
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,600
watching honestly.

218
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:26,879
Speaker 1: So.

219
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,759
Speaker 2: And the thing is I can't figure it out. Maybe

220
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:30,919
somebody can help me out with this.

221
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what the guy won, but it better

222
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,879
be a damn good prize. That's a hard ass thing

223
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:36,840
to accomplish.

224
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,519
Speaker 3: Four foot on hardwood on hardwood, pretty.

225
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: Tough, Tota Center. At least they put it on like

226
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,639
a green Felter or something.

227
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they put the felt out that was and then

228
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,480
as soon as he won, and I mean, give the

229
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,879
guy the kid props he were a no vettern and

230
00:09:54,279 --> 00:10:00,519
bumped hips with Pat Mahomes. Oh really, Yeah, that's cool.

231
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,919
Good for him. The thrill of a lifetime that may

232
00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:07,960
be in itself was the award that he should.

233
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:09,799
Speaker 3: You know, they get a one dollars gift card to

234
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:10,679
that supermarket.

235
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:13,759
Speaker 1: By the way, best.

236
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: Name of the night last night for Texas Tech. They're

237
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,559
starting center ROSSI. His name is Federico Federico.

238
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 3: I like that. That sounds like an opera singer. Hey,

239
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,080
did you know Federico Federico. So he's going to be

240
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:29,840
at the hobby center.

241
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,279
Speaker 1: Would you like to do a Federico and Federico impersonation?

242
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:35,919
We come back.

243
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: No, I think we're good. I don't think I'm up

244
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,440
to part my opera singing.

245
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:40,759
Speaker 5: Man.

246
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: I could do it if you want me to. Now

247
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:44,240
let's have Connor do it. Connor, you wanna do a

248
00:10:44,279 --> 00:10:48,440
little opera Federico Federico. Uh sure, I'll give him my best.

249
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,759
Go all right, ladyship.

250
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:52,799
Speaker 2: When we come back, Connor d McGovern is going to

251
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:58,039
sing in prisoning Federico Federco coongarer is from Finland?

252
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: Is he really? Now?

253
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: I will say this, what was missus Federico thinking which

254
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,320
she named her son Federico. There's probably a family name

255
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:06,919
of some sort.

256
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't know now.

257
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: My uncle that he rest was named by my my

258
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:18,960
dad was Jerry. It's twin and his brother Thomas. My

259
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,960
last name is Thomas, So it does happen occasionally that

260
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,159
my uncle Tom was Tom Thomas, Tom Thomas.

261
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty funny. I don't think he was a

262
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:30,759
big fan of it.

263
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: Honestly, do you think Lori markin and is scared about

264
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,919
being the seven time finished player of the Year. Now

265
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,080
with Federico Federrico into the fold.

266
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:40,519
Speaker 2: Federico Federico was two for two of the slam dunk

267
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,279
last night, played twenty nine minutes.

268
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: Just climbing the ranks of all time great finish players.

269
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: Can you all right?

270
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: I'll start, I'll go with Federico, Federico, I'll go LORI

271
00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:52,200
market in and I give up.

272
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: Oh look, you should have made me he's slogan.

273
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,879
Speaker 2: No, I think I think he's got a uh nationalization there. Yeah,

274
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:05,519
all right, if you'd like to join us today, let

275
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,559
me ask you all a question. When you smack talk

276
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,639
with your buddies, can you basically that'll get away with

277
00:12:12,759 --> 00:12:15,159
college stuff more than you can anything else, Like you're

278
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,559
not gonna make fun of your wife or your girlfriend,

279
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:22,480
or your job, or your hair, or your stomach or

280
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,840
your facial hair or your clothes.

281
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,759
Speaker 1: You have boundaries on that.

282
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,039
Speaker 2: For me and my bros, college smack talk is just

283
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:39,000
a rite of passage, and I just there's like I hear.

284
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Ross and I gotta get your break here. I hear

285
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,919
cougar high all the time, all the freaking time. It

286
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,960
does not bother me.

287
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: I hope you noticed that. I don't use that one, Matt.

288
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,159
It's low hanging fruit.

289
00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: It's the low hanging fruit. I mean, if you're gonna

290
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:53,799
insult me and tell me you got if you're you

291
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,720

00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,879

00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:32,000
The Cougars are the Big twelve champions sixty nine sixty one.

334
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: The Final and America rejoices record ratings for that game yesterday.

335
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:46,519
I believe seventeen million people watched that game yesterday between

336
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:53,240
Texas Tech and Houston. Is that accurate? No, I'm trying

337
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:54,159
to catch you off guard.

338
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:59,279
Speaker 3: I was like, there's no way, yeah, but I mean no,

339
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:00,600
there's nothing else going going on.

340
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: Monday night. Raw was one. Like I said, well then

341
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,120
you know why. You know, the rest of networks did

342
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,559
said we can't put a game on the night. We

343
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,519
can't think it true.

344
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,039
Speaker 3: It was like the Super Bowl exactly, and nobody could

345
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:17,279
put anything on but reruns.

346
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, by the way.

347
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: Today's tweet of the Day UH is brought to you

348
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,039
by out south Side rich sixty four Rossie. He says,

349
00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:27,840
when that kid hit at Tech, hit the putt and

350
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,399
won the prize, I was shocked he didn't get a

351
00:16:29,399 --> 00:16:31,360
flag for hitting Patrick Mahomes.

352
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:39,159
Speaker 3: Hmmm, unnecessary roughness. It's funny, it's a chuckler.

353
00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: It's a chuckler. It's it's a tweet today. So I

354
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:42,679
got the block of the day and the tweeted to

355
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:44,759
day right there. We're proud of you. I didn't do

356
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:47,559
anything seven one three two one two five seven.

357
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:49,919
Speaker 2: All right, So Ross, you and I go at each

358
00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:53,240
other with Texas and Houston generally, speaking with your friends

359
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,600
and your life, how far can you take college s mac.

360
00:16:57,879 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't do it that much.

361
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:01,519
Speaker 3: You're You're the one more obsessed about it with any

362
00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:06,640
than anybody I probably know, which again is crazy considering you.

363
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,480
You represent a program that hasn't won a national championship

364
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:14,240
in any major sport ever and golf. Yeah, like I said,

365
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:14,880
major sport.

366
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: Mmm. Well, I'm gonna tell you this right now, and

367
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,119
I mean this in all sincerity. Mm hm. And you

368
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,359
can't You're not supposed to think this way, but this

369
00:17:28,519 --> 00:17:29,440
is just the reality of it.

370
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 2: If they don't win the national championship, or least I

371
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,319
should said to may check that if they don't get

372
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,920
to the final four, I will be devastated. They're getting

373
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,160
to the final four, I think, and that means aeron

374
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:44,519
anybody that hates me or anybody wants to tease me.

375
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: If you're gonna send me sorry for your loss, I

376
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:51,920
fully expect that you will have earned it. I will

377
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,559
have absolutely earned it.

378
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,039
Speaker 2: But if they do go to the final four, I

379
00:17:58,079 --> 00:17:59,640
will be even more insufferable.

380
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: That I know I'm.

381
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, what if they win it all?

382
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: Though, then you're probably going to have to I don't

383
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,160
know what I'm going to do because I don't know

384
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,319
what that's you understand, Ross, And I don't mean to.

385
00:18:13,519 --> 00:18:15,039
I don't want to go show age here, but I'm

386
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:17,119
going to tell you. I'm fifty two years old, Okay.

I have been a Cougar fan for forty two years

389
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,960
of my life. I went to college at the University Houston.

390
00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:35,039
I met my wife at the University Houston.

391
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 2: I have called their basketball and their football games on

392
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,440
two separate occasions.

393
00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:43,279
Speaker 1: I do some television for them. Right now. I am

394
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:46,759

00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,240
to the sweet sixteen level.

397
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: I can't handle that. I don't want that. It's not fair.

398
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:09,599
Speaker 2: Okay, So there is no could uh, hard fought season, damn,

Speaker 1: What else? Good job? Huh? It's hard. It's about winning now.

401
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,319
Speaker 2: If you're a little if you're Texas, that just gets

402
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:23,200
in the tournament as the last four team going in

403
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:24,839

404
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: Hey, fine, if you're I just don't expect more.

they're going to the final four.

411
00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:52,519
Speaker 1: No, So if you win a tournament game or two, Man,

412
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:55,200
this was a fun season. I I don't have time

413
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,680
for that. An'ybody got time for not winning the day.

414
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,799

expect them to.

00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,480
usher one year.

432
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:48,160

438
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,119

439
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:07,599
was great.

440
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 3: I got three final fours back to back to back

441
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,319
with maybe the greatest college ship of all time, and

442
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,279
I got buppus for a national championship.

443
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: I need more.

444
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 3: Not only that, but Texas beat the greatest team of

445
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,640
all time. If people forget. ESPN was literally running a

446
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,279
series of that USA C team going up against like

447
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,400
the Four Horsemen and great teams, not the Detroit Lions,

448
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:34,400
but like the oh one Miami. It was like, here's

449
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,880
how we break down the hypo they had, like Kirk

450
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,880
Kurbstreet on there breaking down hypothetical matchups against like nineteen

451
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,720
forty one Army. They're the greatest team of all time

452
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:47,480
and they were gonna beat every team throughout history, and

453
00:21:47,599 --> 00:21:50,519
Vince Young and Texas beat them. Oh it's beautiful.

454
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,039

a team, what a city, what a coach? So proud

463
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:29,400
of him man. And to get to your question of

464
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,640
the day, I think you can. I think you can

465
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,839
take it pretty far. I mean it's really no hard feelings.

466
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,640
I mean it's not something to be sensitive about. It's

467
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,279
all in good fun. Like I could say, you know, uh,

468
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,039
ut is a culture full of brats that throw trash

469
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,039
on the field when they don't way you know something

470
00:22:50,079 --> 00:22:51,000
that you know it.

471
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: Only happened that one time.

472
00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: I mean, Texas, Texas, Let's make it honest, Texas tack

473
00:22:58,039 --> 00:22:59,240
is known for being in b f E.

474
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: Texas number two. It smells their half the year, which

475
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:03,759
I don't mind. It is what it is.

476
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 2: Three they throw tortillas, which is one of the dumbest

477
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,519
bits I've ever heard of my entire life.

478
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's Raider Rash. I mean, anybody knows the

479
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:12,720
Raider rashes?

480
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, right, I mean yeah. And you know, I

481
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,960
was listening to the show since started, and I noticed

482
00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:23,759
Ross was in a little bit of a mood, and

483
00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:27,000
so I was like, wondering why. Then I scoured the

484
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:32,119
top twenty five of the college basketball rankings on man

485
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,799
and then I was like, no, that can't be right.

486
00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:38,960
So I double with Triple Chick. No, and then I

487
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,839
went and looked at the records. What's sixteen and eleven?

488
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: A man, that's the way, No, Drew, you're checking the

489
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:46,160
wrong rankings.

490
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: Texas is number one Texas, hey, Drew, Actually number one.

491
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:55,119
Texas is number one in basketball. Texas is number one

492
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,000
in college basketball.

493
00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: Fact, yeah, there's no argument to that.

494
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: Of course, it's the all or basketball and it's the

that the winner of that ninety four foot putt gon ross.

534
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,799
I'm gonna have to give you a guess here what

535
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,079
he won. Let's just say it's less than about three

536
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,680
hundred bucks uh A two hundred old gift card to

537
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:10,039

Free tumbleweed removal.

539
00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:16,079

won a pair of AirPods.

541
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,799
Speaker 1: Are you serious that is that's weak.

542
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:27,000

Texas Tech college basketball sponsors also limited.

544
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,960

don't want to hear any of my optimism from spring.

580
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:17,559
It's gonna make me even more sad.

581
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,079
Speaker 1: I do think we should record, so I told you.

Speaker 1: Good morning Matt Ross. Hope you guys are doing well.

588
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:37,799
Thank you.

589
00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 9: UH got to comment, you know you talk about these schools,

590
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000
you know you of h and Texas has pretty classy

591
00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:49,319
fans compared to the Arizona fans.

592
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw.

593
00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:52,119
Speaker 9: What they did the other day at the BYU game

594
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,240
that that's uncalled for. I know by you had some

595
00:28:57,359 --> 00:28:59,960
bad fans up in Utah with the Utah Jazz Special,

596
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,519
but I don't know if you heard what they did.

597
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:04,720
But there's no room for that in the sport. That

598
00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:07,079
it was kids around and stuff, how you felt.

599
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: No religion, The religion is off limits. It's one hundred

600
00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:18,240
percent off limits. And unfortunately it is low hanging fruit

601
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,200
for people that play BYU to do that, and it's

602
00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:26,319
uncalled for. Now, that's not my religion. I don't quite

603
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,640
understand their religion, but that's not that's not my place

604
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:29,640
to judge that.

605
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: So you can't do that.

606
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: You can't talk about ethnicity, You can't talk about somebody's kids,

607
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,799
somebody's wife. The smack talk we're talking about is I

608
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:43,000
mean again, if you're gonna smack talk me, you're gonna

609
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
make fun of the Cougar high bit. You're gonna make

610
00:29:45,039 --> 00:29:47,319
fun of the fact that our fans don't fill the building,

611
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,079
that we've had a bunch of different coaches. Our facilities

612
00:29:50,119 --> 00:29:52,799
weren't great until about five or six years ago. There's

613
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,480
plenty of good old fashioned smack talk you can get in,

614
00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:58,519
Like when I like Texas State, I mean basically ross

615
00:29:58,519 --> 00:30:01,319
and we've talked about before. It's basically enrollment in Texas eate, right,

616
00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:03,559
I mean, let's give it, let's call it, let's call it.

617
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 3: As we see, except for since Rady is close to

618
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,079
ninety nine percent.

619
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is. So you're not

620
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,559
gonna you know, we're not judging too much. But it

621
00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:13,119
is happening.

622
00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:16,319
Speaker 2: To your point, Yeah, to your point, Kyle, it is

623
00:30:16,319 --> 00:30:19,720
happening way too much. And all we're getting from these

624
00:30:19,759 --> 00:30:23,799
institutions is I'm sorry. And uh if I was that

625
00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:25,400
that faith, I would be offended by that.

626
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: And uh, I think it's uncalled for. But it's happening

627
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:33,640
a lot. And the only thing that, first.

628
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,319
Speaker 2: Of all, there's no justification for it. But BYU fans

629
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:39,759
have been rather boisterous over the years, and certainly when

630
00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:41,799
they grow up, they become Jazz fans, and they're crumb

631
00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:44,160
and the Jazz fans are typically some of the worst

632
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,400
in the NBA with their blank talking back to NBA

633
00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:51,960
players that do insult their ethnicity, that do insult their relationships,

634
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,599
that do insult things. So I'm not saying that an

635
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:57,519
eye for an eye because it's not the case. Because

636
00:30:57,839 --> 00:30:59,519
what they did the other day, and it's happened to

637
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:01,759
a lot of b games, it's pathetic.

638
00:31:01,799 --> 00:31:05,839
Speaker 1: Frankly, Yes, I just wanted to see how you felt

639
00:31:05,839 --> 00:31:06,160
about it.

640
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,759
Speaker 9: Man, Oh my god, I know, so I appreciate it.

641
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's it's just get out. The religion is

642
00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:13,119
completely off limits. Thanks cough of the phone call. I

643
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:15,480
can't imagine anybody going, oh man, I mean, seriously, Ross,

644
00:31:15,519 --> 00:31:19,720
would you imagine attacking and ethnicity or religion?

645
00:31:19,799 --> 00:31:19,839
Speaker 7: Go?

646
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: That was a really good line. I'm really proud of

647
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,319
myself on that one.

648
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,599
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, maybe off air in private with people, you know,

649
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,640
you know what I'm saying, like, of that's that religion

650
00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:32,039
or of that Yeah, eas you had a Mormon buddy,

651
00:31:32,119 --> 00:31:33,000
might make a Mormon joke.

652
00:31:33,599 --> 00:31:35,119
Speaker 1: It depends, but it depends on who.

653
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: That you're friends, right, If your friends is what I'm

654
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,680
saying you don't go up to the Mormon church and

655
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:39,720
start shouting stuff.

656
00:31:39,839 --> 00:31:40,039
Speaker 5: Yeah.

657
00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:41,839
Speaker 2: I have a Mormon friend who we tease each other

658
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,599
about the food that Mormons like to eat.

659
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,559
Speaker 3: And it's a joke, but it's but it's very very

662
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean Ross for years in this show would

663
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,160
play gunfire when bring up the University of Houston.

664
00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 3: I'm sad I don't have that instant replay machine anymore.

00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:01,880
Those good times.

666
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,079
Speaker 2: Thankfully, Connor has some tact and will never do such

667
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:07,519
a thing like that here on the radio show, and

668
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:10,440

00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,159
Speaker 3: You, Oh, Fred van Vlitt listed is questionable for today's game.

732
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: That's good, better than doubtfo or out put it that way.

733
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: Yes, he has missed let's see how many eight straight games?

734
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,320
M Let me ask you this real quickly before before

735
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,440
we get back to the NFL talk. Do you think

736
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,400
Fred has done enough by being out to basically tell

737
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,039
the Rockets man you really need me.

738
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: You might want to opt in on that Rockets, you.

739
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: Know what I mean?

740
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if they will go with a

741
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:04,280
opt out and have him a renegotiation, maybe a longer contract.

742
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: I guess dollars.

743
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,559
Speaker 3: But he's only I keep thinking he's older than he is.

744
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:09,360
He's only thirty.

745
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I don't know

746
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,400
how he would take to being a reserve or.

747
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, thirty one Today his birthday, Happy birthday. So

748
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,000
he's thirty one.

749
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:24,039
Speaker 1: Let's get him a gift. How about the get I

750
00:36:24,039 --> 00:36:26,159
think he's doing. Okay, he's making forty million dollars a year.

751
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,679
And by the way, he's a good dude. Okay, I

752
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:32,079
want to make sure I'm very clear on this, but

753
00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:33,679
this shows you how crazy the NBA is.

754
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:38,119
Speaker 2: Fred's a nice player, right, Yes, one time All Star,

755
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,159
one time All Star, part of a world champion Toronto

756
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,679
team a handful of years back. Yes, and has been

757
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,559
a huge part of the reason why they asked the

758
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:48,360
Rockets are now relevant. It's compared to a couple of

759
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,440
years ago when they were not and you had to

760
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:51,960
take a flying guys, and you had to you know,

761
00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:54,719
and in this case, when the Rockets were with three

762
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,960
straight sixty loss seasons, you got to overpay.

763
00:36:56,559 --> 00:36:58,679
Speaker 1: Sometimes get back on the map. And so he's done

764
00:36:58,760 --> 00:36:59,599
quite well for himself.

765
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 3: They needed to get to the cap floor. They also

766
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,679
needed to spend the money to attract a veteran like

767
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,719
Fred van Vliet. So it wasn't overpay, but it's I mean,

768
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,800
it's worked wonders here in my opinion.

769
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, no one ever goes if you're an

770
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,599
anti Fred guys because you just don't like Fred's game.

771
00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: But you're not going. You're not saying you're anti Fred

772
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,920
because he makes forty million dollars. Yeah, I'm cutting I

773
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,000
ain't cutting the check. I don't care. I'm happy Fred's

774
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,320
here again.

775
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: I like him a lot. I think if you all

776
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,039
get to know him a little bit, you'd like him

777
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:30,199
a lot. And I think he likes it here so

778
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,440
much that I think he would actually take less money

779
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:33,079
to stay here.

780
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: Hmm. No, he and I've never had this conversation because

781
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:36,599
that's not my business.

782
00:37:37,079 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 3: Come on, Matt, you're supposed to be a Rockets insider.

783
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: Oh so you want me to go to a guy

784
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,119
and say, hey, would you take Lex money please? Mm hmm, Okay,

785
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:44,760
I'll do that.

786
00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:46,559
Speaker 2: You know, if they win tonight and I talked to

787
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:48,119
him in the post game, Sho'll be the first question?

788
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:49,760
Hey Fred, how good was it good? I know you

789
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,360
want to talk about getting back on the floor. But

790
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,480
let's be honest, what's your contract situation?

791
00:37:53,559 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, now that sounds great.

792
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: Those are probably questions you'll get nowhere else in here

793
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:58,800
on Rockets Radio.

794
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: But uh again, I like him. I hope he's around.

795
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,559
I think he's a really good influence. I think he's

796
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,800
really good influence on the younger basketball players in his team.

797
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: And then the look the Rockets haven't been as good.

798
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,119
Speaker 2: They haven't they've been missing a clutch factor since he's

799
00:38:12,119 --> 00:38:13,199
been out these eight games.

800
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 3: I think the word that continues to be used by

801
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,760
e Mudoka is organized. He gets them organized. That's absolutely

802
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,440
he works. Yep, it's right, all.

803
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,159
Speaker 1: Right, NFL combined is tonight.

804
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,119
Speaker 2: By the way, Dimiko Ryans is going to speak later today,

805
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:29,840
and you and I have not talked about this, honestly,

806
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,119
and and it'll be up to Nick Asero to speak tomorrow.

807
00:38:34,039 --> 00:38:35,079
In all seriously, is there.

808
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,119
Speaker 1: Anything you want to hear from Jamaico or are we

809
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,840
just looking for the typical Dimiko cliche stuff that he's

810
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,760
given us the last couple of years. Is there anything

811
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,079
that to me? I'll give you one thing, and he's

812
00:38:47,079 --> 00:38:50,920
not going to give away company secrets here. But how how.

813
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: Much do they want to bring Stefan Diggs back wrong

814
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,239
side of thirty ROSSI coming off in ACL would he

815
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,880
take a discount? And more import I guess the bigger

816
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,320
question would be is how much interest around the NFL

817
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,679
right now is there in Stefan Dicks?

818
00:39:08,039 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

819
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 3: I mean have they talked about how they loved him

820
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,920
here he was voted to captain. Stefan Diggs talked about

821
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,519
loving it here yep. And if it's I think, if

822
00:39:16,519 --> 00:39:19,840
it's the right deal. Another he was here basically on

823
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:20,639
a prove it deal.

824
00:39:21,159 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 5: Right.

825
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,559
Speaker 1: Nick Caterario loves him improve it deals, loves those deals.

826
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,039
Speaker 2: So honestly, Ross, this would be a gut feeling I

827
00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:28,760
would get wrong.

828
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: But now you should put your name on it.

829
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: No way? Know how By the way, Oh did I

830
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,000
really Okay?

831
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'll stick with that, But I will say this,

832
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,599
I will take the l on that one, and I'm

833
00:39:38,639 --> 00:39:41,280
okay with that. That's okay because the reality is this,

834
00:39:42,519 --> 00:39:44,800
I don't unless they go after a wide receiver in

835
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,079
the first round of the draft. They are Remember how

836
00:39:48,119 --> 00:39:49,760
two years ago we were worried about how bad their

837
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:50,800
wide receiver room was.

838
00:39:52,519 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: It will be worse if they don't.

839
00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: Discuss bringing in a legitimate number two receiver to compliment

840
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:00,519
Niko College.

841
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 3: Even then, he's kind of just a possession guy. He's

842
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,159
not a game breaker. You're missing that element big time

843
00:40:05,199 --> 00:40:07,480
with Tank Dell, so they're gonna have to dress otherwise.

844
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:10,079
Speaker 1: Yep. And I would likely via the draft.

845
00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: Because I don't think I don't think they would go

846
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,760
first round with the receiver and then bring him back to.

847
00:40:20,039 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: Again. I don't know what you know.

848
00:40:21,079 --> 00:40:23,079
Speaker 2: Look, no one's giving us the intel inside there, but

849
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:26,199
I I can't imagine spending an out of money on

850
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,760
a number two if or maybe Stefon Diggs is a

851
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,960
number three, unless Stefan thinks, unless Dick thinks he's a

852
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,079
number two. I mean, who's to say, I don't know.

853
00:40:35,679 --> 00:40:38,719
That's why to me, and I want you for the

854
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,880
last time to walk me through this.

855
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: Okay, okay.

856
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,639
Speaker 2: Why weren't you not bothered by the fact that Texans

857
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:46,880
just cut the contract up and said we're just going

858
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,559
to cut it down to a year because at least

859
00:40:48,679 --> 00:40:51,480
if he's hurt and he comes back and he likes

860
00:40:51,519 --> 00:40:54,159
it here, you you would have had two more years

861
00:40:54,159 --> 00:40:54,519
of this.

862
00:40:54,639 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: Why I wasn't bothered?

863
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, when did I say I was on board with it,

864
00:40:58,639 --> 00:41:03,800
and I thought it was a great idea. The feeling it, No,

865
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,880
it was curious to me. I didn't understand it. I

866
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,840
still don't understand it. I said it at the time, Matt.

867
00:41:09,039 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: I don't think I think you were doing a different show.

868
00:41:10,679 --> 00:41:13,719
Oh my god, I said, I didn't understand it.

869
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 3: But I guess, you know, I always try to see

870
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,639
the lens of why, because I don't think Nick Cassari

871
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,360
was stupid. So the only reason it made sense to me,

872
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,679
I guess, is because he thought he was going to

873
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,599
get his best effort if he was on a proven deal.

874
00:41:26,079 --> 00:41:28,360
I don't know what the cap implications were. I didn't

875
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:29,000
understand it.

876
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: So at its core, though, why would you give up

877
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,119
a second round pick? An extra one?

878
00:41:33,159 --> 00:41:35,119
Speaker 2: But why would you give up a second round pick

879
00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:37,239
for a guy that was only guaranteed to play for

880
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,079
you one year? That's the thing that struck me at

881
00:41:39,079 --> 00:41:41,000
the moment, those last two years of boy.

882
00:41:41,159 --> 00:41:43,159
Speaker 3: I think it was a he would there was a

883
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:44,400
pushing of the chips of all.

884
00:41:44,679 --> 00:41:45,639
Speaker 1: I think it was.

885
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 3: We we we don't know that it's gonna The goal

886
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,679
was super Bowl last year. That's what it was they

887
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,599
got the division round again, and if Digs and Dell

888
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:57,920
were healthy, I mean they would have at least been

889
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:58,480
better off.

890
00:41:59,079 --> 00:42:00,559
Speaker 1: But I think.

891
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 3: It was Nick Cassario first of all, Again he loves

892
00:42:04,039 --> 00:42:06,559
proved deals for whatever reason. He thinks he gets best

893
00:42:06,559 --> 00:42:08,719
effort from guys in general. He has We've seen that

894
00:42:09,039 --> 00:42:12,840
with some other people. But it was that, and then

895
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,840
it was it was pushing all in for this year

896
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,840
as far as the cap implications or this year being

897
00:42:18,039 --> 00:42:18,960
twenty twenty four.

898
00:42:19,199 --> 00:42:23,679
Speaker 2: Because right now, as it stands, give me the characteristics

899
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,360
of Stefan Diggs and needs to come back. Unless you

900
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:31,920
give it, you get a sweetheart friendly deal back, because

901
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,679
most NFL general managers would how old as Dick's thirty one,

902
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,000
I think he's thirty thirty one somewhere in that neighborhood

903
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,360
coming off in acl which is not a devastating injury anymore. Yeah,

904
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,559
he'll be thirty two starting next season. He's thirty one

905
00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:44,000
right now.

906
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:46,199
Speaker 1: November.

907
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 3: Take the loss if it's a minimal deal.

908
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: Well, I have some good news for you.

909
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 3: The no way know how that you said was actually

910
00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:57,360
just for a franchise tag, which that's not happening.

911
00:42:58,119 --> 00:42:59,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Okay, so I have a little bit of

912
00:42:59,639 --> 00:43:00,199
a wiggle room.

913
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're good for people who don't know that Matt

914
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,400
puts his name on it, and then the no way

915
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,159
know how is like the Mega guarantee.

916
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:09,519

973
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,159
couple of days. And I mentioned I meant to ask

974
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,559
us to you, and I think I asked him, didn't

975
00:45:47,559 --> 00:45:49,280
get an answer. Is there anything from Dimico you want

976
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,199
to hear today? For me, it was about the future

977
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,920
of the wide receiving position wide receiver position with Steffon.

978
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: Did anything else you want to hear from him specifically?

979
00:45:57,559 --> 00:45:59,159
Speaker 3: Not really, And I don't think we're going to get

980
00:45:59,159 --> 00:46:02,079
a whole lot from him. That's his right, that's fine. Yeah,

981
00:46:03,079 --> 00:46:05,360
he's a lot of great players. We're looking to improve

982
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,519
all facets of the team, stuff like that.

983
00:46:09,119 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got some great advice from somebody that said,

984
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,440
don't speak about much when you when you ask questions.

985
00:46:14,559 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: The problems from being a player all those years too. Yeah,

986
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,719
he spent a lot of time in front of microphones.

987
00:46:19,039 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. I wonder how red ass he gets, because I

988
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:23,679
can tell you this Ross.

989
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,639
Speaker 2: I don't think it takes any imagination to figure out

990
00:46:26,679 --> 00:46:28,960
how pissed off Ema Doka gets when the Rockets don't

991
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:29,360
play well.

992
00:46:29,679 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 3: He does it on the floor. She choose him out

993
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:32,280
on the floor.

994
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he and then he has some well

995
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:40,320
placed not barbs, but brutal honesty in the postgame VI

996
00:46:40,679 --> 00:46:41,039
even the.

997
00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:43,599
Speaker 1: Eye did you see the recent eye rolls?

998
00:46:43,639 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 3: There was a reporter saying, yes, you have such a

999
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,480
young and talented team, and and then he kind of

1000
00:46:48,559 --> 00:46:49,280
rolled his eyes.

1001
00:46:52,599 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: I'm telling you he's Dantonicu is my favorite Rockets coach

1002
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,360
of all times. We got along so well, and he

1003
00:46:58,519 --> 00:47:01,519
was joked with me and we back and forth. I

1004
00:47:01,639 --> 00:47:04,360
have a different respect level for Imay because of the

1005
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,599
fact that he can command a locker room and granted

1006
00:47:08,599 --> 00:47:12,320
it's nuts fifty three, man, it's twelve to fifteen depending

1007
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,280
on the night. But he can get away with stuff

1008
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,239
that most NBA coaches ross can't get away with.

1009
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I would say as far as media wise,

1010
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:25,320
D'Antoni would let loose every now and then. He really would,

1011
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,880
because he especially towards the end.

1012
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:27,559
Speaker 1: He was like, I don't care.

1013
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 3: I'm a maid man in the NBA. It's whatever. But

1014
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:32,800
I mean, Dooka does that every day.

1015
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:33,679
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1016
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:36,519
Speaker 2: And the reality is also is that you know, Mike

1017
00:47:36,599 --> 00:47:38,920
D'Antoni never hid the fact that he had to make

1018
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,039
sure James Harten was happy.

1019
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: That's true. He's like, man, he would tell me this

1020
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:47,000
on multiple ocasions. He said, Man, if James isn't happy,

1021
00:47:47,039 --> 00:47:48,760
I'm out. Yeah, that's true.

1022
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 2: And that's kind of sobering, isn't it that you have

1023
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,840
to rely on you have to keep one guy happy

1024
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:55,960
in order to keep your job for a guy that

1025
00:47:56,079 --> 00:47:59,800
was as accomplished as as Mike D'Antoni was. Because Mike knew.

1026
00:48:00,519 --> 00:48:03,800
You get sideways with Camarao Anthony, you're gone. You get

1027
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,480
sideways with Kobe Bryant, you're gone.

1028
00:48:09,079 --> 00:48:09,559
Speaker 1: That's true.

1029
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,119
Speaker 3: Unless they just have your upmost for striking like you

1030
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,760
had to respect Phil Jackson no matter what he said.

1031
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but you know, look, I love D'Antoni. Great,

1032
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,719
one of the best offensive mines in the history of

1033
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,280
the NBA period into story and won a lot of

1034
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,119
basketball games, but was unable to get over the hump.

1035
00:48:26,199 --> 00:48:28,880
And you know, look e May and his first year

1036
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,800
in Boston. I mean, Granty had a great team around him.

1037
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,400
But to get the NBA Finals in your first year

1038
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,480
to head coach not bad. And again he's got this

1039
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,280
Rockets basketball team right now at the fifth spot in

1040
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,920
the Western Conference and hopefully you can get that back

1041
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,480
up of the number two spot. I think did see

1042
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:47,559
Memphis didn't play last night, but Denver did win Minnesota.

1043
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:48,800
How about this, I don't know if you caught this

1044
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,360
or not. Ross Minnesota beat Oklahoma City in overtime in Okay.

1045
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,719
See last night the thunder were up twenty five points

1046
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,960
in the fourth quarter. Wow, or at least the second

1047
00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:02,360
late second half they I think they were outscored forty

1048
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:03,960
one to nineteen in the fourth quarter.

1049
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:10,159
Speaker 3: Hmmm, crazy, Yeah, it's the second half the recap, I see. Yeah,

1050
00:49:10,559 --> 00:49:15,000
But yeah, either way, that's that's incredible because especially because

1051
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:15,559
of who it was.

1052
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Thunder.

1053
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,119
Speaker 3: So the Timberwolves of the rally team. What were they

1054
00:49:19,199 --> 00:49:21,320
down fifteen or seventeen to the Rockets? And then in

1055
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,159
the fourth quarter.

1056
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 7: I know.

1057
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:31,079
Speaker 1: It's fine, they're really good. But are they unbeatable? Are they?

1058
00:49:31,079 --> 00:49:32,800
I should say, are they beatable? Uh?

1059
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Thunder? Not by the Rockets but by somebody?

1060
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: Maybe?

1061
00:49:41,599 --> 00:49:41,639
Speaker 8: What?

1062
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,159
Speaker 1: Nothing? What nothing to you?

1063
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:46,039
Speaker 7: No?

1064
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean I wish you would lie. You lie about

1065
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:48,840
other things to me.

1066
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 3: That's true. You're doing great, Matt, say.

1067
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,599
Speaker 1: There's lie one and we're only seven minutes into the

1068
00:49:55,639 --> 00:49:56,559
second hour of the show.

1069
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,280
Speaker 2: Uh gut feelings coming up in a back to Team

1070
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,239
Nits here on Sports Talk Center, and if you're new

1071
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:03,760
to the program, a where the hell have you been?

1072
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,159
Be Dan glad to have you and see gouple things

1073
00:50:06,199 --> 00:50:08,400
where you call and make sports predictions. It's very simple.

1074
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,960
Seven one three, two, one two five seven on Dwain's

1075
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,079
with us on the Matt Thomas Show.

1076
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 1: Dwayne, good morning to.

1077
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:18,280
Speaker 7: You, Good morning gentlemen. I've got a couple of comments

1078
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:23,039
and a couple of questions for you guys. That Shouday

1079
00:50:23,159 --> 00:50:27,000
Andrews is not going to go to the combine, but

1080
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,639
the most important things are in that combine are the

1081
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,880
medical and the tests that they have to go through

1082
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,199
to get, you know, whatever it is they have to get.

1083
00:50:37,679 --> 00:50:41,400
But because he doesn't go to the performance and stuff

1084
00:50:41,559 --> 00:50:46,039
like that, he can be picked up after the combine

1085
00:50:46,159 --> 00:50:46,599
is over.

1086
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 8: But will that hurt his uh his uh when when

1087
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,320
they have to choose the draft and stuff. And the

1088
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,239
other comment I wanted to make was, at this time,

1089
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,159
the Lakers are playing some really good basketball. They actually

1090
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:07,119
got a defense now. And not only am I going

1091
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,559
by what the Denver Nuggets when they played them and

1092
00:51:11,639 --> 00:51:14,880
stuff like that, but do you think that they can

1093
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,519
continue to play this same defense man and man and

1094
00:51:19,639 --> 00:51:24,159
then the other one? But do you think they have

1095
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:29,599
a possibility to do good this year in the NBA playoffs?

1096
00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:32,000
And I just want to ask you guys that and

1097
00:51:32,119 --> 00:51:33,800
God bless y'all and take care.

1098
00:51:34,199 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: Thank you. Two Randall questions are ROUSSI? How about that?

1099
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, your thoughts on now sdor centers will be at

1100
00:51:41,519 --> 00:51:43,079
the combine. He's not going to throw.

1101
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:49,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you hide medicals your toast doesn't mean you're

1102
00:51:49,039 --> 00:51:50,960
not going to be get drafted. But it doesn't mean

1103
00:51:51,199 --> 00:51:53,320
but you are going to be you're gonna have question

1104
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:54,280
marks all over the place.

1105
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know exactly. Yeah, is he getting measured

1106
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:00,960
and weighed? I don't think so. No, I think he's

1107
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:01,559
not doing anything.

1108
00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 3: I think he's just only meeting with teams, right, yep.

1109
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:06,840
And then he's supposed to throw it at the Colorado

1110
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:07,960
pro dain believed.

1111
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean yeah, no team is going to

1112
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,880
take a first round player without looking at medicals.

1113
00:52:15,599 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: Now. I don't know how far that how how far

1114
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,880
that goes ross? Again, that's not my world I live in.

1115
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,199
Speaker 2: I mean, do you take a six round flyer and

1116
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,760
a guy that's had injuries with his knee and you

1117
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:24,920
know one hundred percent sure he's there?

1118
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:25,639
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1119
00:52:25,639 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah that I can't give you an

1120
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:27,920
answer on that.

1121
00:52:30,119 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 2: And as far as the Lakers are concerned, I have

1122
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,320
not seen them play yet in person or not in person,

1123
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,440
but on TV. Since the Luca trade, I've.

1124
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: Been winning a lot.

1125
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 2: They're winning a lot. But lucas a minus defender, so

1126
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,079
I can't imagine him playing better.

1127
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: Defense with Luca on there out there than with him.

1128
00:52:47,159 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 3: Maybe he's actually engaged now not he's a Laker, did.

1129
00:52:51,679 --> 00:52:53,119
Speaker 1: You but say, the thing is you said that though

1130
00:52:53,159 --> 00:52:55,400
I never thought he was disengaged as a mavericke. Oh yeah,

1131
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:57,880
what do you mean? I thought he just bitching moment

1132
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:58,599
officials a lot.

1133
00:52:59,199 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 3: You didn't see him popcorn and the stands whenever they're

1134
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,920
on defense. You mean he went in the stands, sat

1135
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:06,519
down to somebody and said, Hi, how are you let

1136
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:08,079
me have a couple of popcorn bites?

1137
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:08,559
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1138
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 2: No, I just think I think from a from an

1139
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,840
athleticism standpoint, he can't defend anybody.

1140
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,559
Speaker 1: That's that's him. That's that's a different thing. That's big.

1141
00:53:19,599 --> 00:53:20,159
But yeah, he's in.

1142
00:53:20,679 --> 00:53:23,159
Speaker 3: It's crazy because he's he's quick. I don't even know

1143
00:53:23,199 --> 00:53:27,679
how to explain it. But he's not super fast kind

1144
00:53:27,679 --> 00:53:29,760
of like honestly, I mean the comparisons early in his

1145
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,400
career to James Harden or James Harden didn't have like

1146
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,840
super great lateral quickness, but he had great stop and

1147
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,719
start so he could get he could get some he

1148
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,280
could get open on anybody.

1149
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're bringing Luca to your basketball team, you're

1150
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,000
looking for him to wake up with thirty points, fourteen

1151
00:53:48,079 --> 00:53:48,960
rebounds in four or five.

1152
00:53:49,039 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 3: So so he's already like a seventh on the All

1153
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,639
time triple double list. He's twenty five.

1154
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:53,039
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1155
00:53:54,039 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 2: To me, I'm not even thinking about what he brings

1156
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,199
defensively and on. All Lebron has to do is say

1157
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,239
give a professional effort. But Lebron at this point in

1158
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:03,920
his career can't give you the defensive work that he

1159
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:09,719
did back early in his career. No again, Dwayne, I

1160
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,280
hope you all understand. I need to I need to

1161
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:12,840

00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:17,440
What's going on?

1182
00:55:19,199 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 2: And it's funny. It was on a night where they

00:57:22,639 --> 00:57:23,800

1226
00:57:25,079 --> 00:57:28,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It is he needed dire updates. Dire it'

1227
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:29,960
said dire on your screen.

1228
00:57:30,159 --> 00:57:33,639
Speaker 3: I believe that downloaded a virus or something.

1229
00:57:34,119 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: It was.

1230
00:57:34,639 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 3: I needed to restart now, so I did it during

1231
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:37,760
the break, and then I forgot to bring up the light.

1232
00:57:38,159 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: I did see though, you're looking at all? Right, I

1233
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,119
got it knowing wesites we were in West Palm Beach.

1234
00:57:42,199 --> 00:57:44,719
Shut up, all right, here we go. You got Jelly

1235
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,880
Roll doing the halftime. Yep.

1236
00:57:49,159 --> 00:57:52,159
Speaker 3: You have Lorne Michael's retiring after the twenty twenty sixth

1237
00:57:52,159 --> 00:57:53,079
season of SNL.

1238
00:57:53,679 --> 00:57:55,679
Speaker 1: Yep, it's all really timely.

1239
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 10: Oh.

1240
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,119
Speaker 3: You got the Cougars covering the eleven and a half

1241
00:57:58,199 --> 00:57:59,880
or Arizona State, which they did do that.

1242
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,679
Speaker 1: You have a no, no excuse me. They did do that, Yes,

1243
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:03,480
yeah they did. They did.

1244
00:58:03,559 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 3: They didn't cover I can't say yeah, but they did

1245
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,199
cover Arizona State. And then you have Bregman not opting

1246
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,440
out after this next season.

1247
00:58:14,239 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: Feel good about all those still on the board.

1248
00:58:16,039 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 3: Okay, Uh, the only one I wrote down for me

1249
00:58:18,599 --> 00:58:22,920
was the Red Sox everyday third basement will be Alex Bregman.

1250
00:58:25,559 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 2: You know what I didn't do yesterday and I that's

1251
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,800
a that's a big fail on me, is I didn't

1252
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,519
see where it positioned he played O day. Do we

1253
00:58:33,559 --> 00:58:34,840
even let me look at se if I can look

1254
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,599
at the Sunday box let me look at the box

1255
00:58:37,639 --> 00:58:38,119
score here.

1256
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:39,639
Speaker 3: I think we would have heard about it if he

1257
00:58:39,719 --> 00:58:41,880
wasn't playing third. So I'm gonna say third, all right,

1258
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,960
I'm looking at the box score and for the Boston

1259
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,639
Red Sox when he went three for three, he played

1260
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:51,159
third base. Uh, Connor McGovern. The only thing I wrote

1261
00:58:51,199 --> 00:58:53,239
down for him was the Rockets win their next two,

1262
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,119
which they did not.

1263
00:58:57,159 --> 00:59:02,039
Speaker 1: They lost to the Jazz. Don't bring that up serious, Utah.

1264
00:59:02,159 --> 00:59:04,559
Speaker 3: Yeahs unbelievable, except I believe it.

1265
00:59:05,719 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: And those are all got feelings. All right? Who wants

1266
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:12,480
to go first this week? I think you do? All right? Uh,

1267
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:19,440
I'm going to tell you that the Rockets win the

1268
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,199
next two games. We a little a little bit of

1269
00:59:22,239 --> 00:59:24,079
a some positive, some positive mojo.

1270
00:59:24,159 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 2: We need to win some games and further supplant our

1271
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:28,079
spot and hopefully getting back to the top four in

1272
00:59:28,079 --> 00:59:30,159
the Western Conference. No better way to do that than

1273
00:59:30,239 --> 00:59:33,559
taking on a mid Milwaukee team and a teammate's mailed

1274
00:59:33,599 --> 00:59:35,199
it in the San Antonio Spurs Rockets.

1275
00:59:35,239 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: Which one does Fred Van Vlieb play it.

1276
00:59:38,679 --> 00:59:42,159
Speaker 2: If I was a betting man, would skip tomorrow. That

1277
00:59:42,239 --> 00:59:43,960
makes sense if he if he's healthy enough to do that.

1278
00:59:44,199 --> 00:59:45,679
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna follow you on that

1279
00:59:46,079 --> 00:59:49,079
tail it as they say, Okay, Rockets win next two.

1280
00:59:49,119 --> 00:59:54,599
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. Okay, I'm going to tell

1281
00:59:54,639 --> 00:59:55,079
you that.

1282
00:59:57,159 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: The rock the uh Nick area is going to make

1283
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:06,599
another significant draft trade before the draft next month.

1284
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Okay. He has a very itchy trigger finger, and I

1285
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,320
think he likes to make those deals and move up

1286
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,079
and down. I would not be surprised if he tries

1287
01:00:17,159 --> 01:00:20,159
to move up from where the Texans are right now

1288
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,440
late twenties. Get you know, I don't know how far

1289
01:00:22,559 --> 01:00:25,880
he moves up. Yeah, I think he moves up. I

1290
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:26,440
could see that.

1291
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 2: I think there is too much work to be done

1292
01:00:29,159 --> 01:00:33,039
at two particular positions wide receiver and offensive line and

1293
01:00:33,239 --> 01:00:34,320
probably ROSSI.

1294
01:00:34,079 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 3: Then wouldn't you stay pat keep your picks, use as

1295
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:37,920
many possible.

1296
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 2: Be sneaky and trying to get some work in the

1297
01:00:40,199 --> 01:00:41,519
I think they're gonna to work on their on their

1298
01:00:41,599 --> 01:00:42,480
linebacking core too.

1299
01:00:44,239 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 3: Uh Okay, I will say this defensive interior taken. Now,

1300
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:53,519
the draft isn't for months, right, defensive taking the interior

1301
01:00:53,599 --> 01:00:57,119
taken at some point, maybe even two. Apparently it's supposed

1302
01:00:57,119 --> 01:01:00,079
to be a really deep defensive interior draft.

1303
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 2: Out with the NFL experts are saying, Okay, present in

1304
01:01:03,559 --> 01:01:05,400
your draft study is in my draft study.

1305
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Its my tape.

1306
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 3: I've been breaking down tape like nobody's business. I'm glad

1307
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,000
you you said Texans Texans trade up in first round?

1308
01:01:11,079 --> 01:01:13,039
Is that what you're saying, I'm going y trade up

1309
01:01:13,039 --> 01:01:13,599
in the first round?

1310
01:01:13,679 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Interesting? Okay, Okay, we appreciate you.

1311
01:01:18,159 --> 01:01:20,559
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, unfortunately, I have to agree with you.

1312
01:01:20,639 --> 01:01:22,719
I think it's gonna be wide receiver in first round.

1313
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:25,519
Speaker 1: Yeah? Did that?

1314
01:01:25,639 --> 01:01:27,119
Speaker 2: Did I back off of that and I and re

1315
01:01:27,239 --> 01:01:29,599
engage in the wide receiver first? I don't know, because

1316
01:01:29,599 --> 01:01:31,679
I'm I can't why I was thinking about this. It's

1317
01:01:31,719 --> 01:01:35,079
because Casario has spent a lot of draft capital on

1318
01:01:35,119 --> 01:01:39,159
the offensive line. I mean, there's it's littered with upward

1319
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,239
first day and second day draft picks. Yes, he just

1320
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,440
hasn't been alible for guys to find and hit on

1321
01:01:44,559 --> 01:01:46,199
one that are being successful long term.

1322
01:01:46,639 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1323
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,639
Speaker 3: And I think also it's not like there's a bunch

1324
01:01:49,639 --> 01:01:50,920
of guys in the free agent market.

1325
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:56,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, Uh, Connor, what do you got this week?

1326
01:01:58,840 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 8: Uh?

1327
01:01:59,519 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 11: You guys were trash talk in MISSOI a little bit.

1328
01:02:03,559 --> 01:02:05,079
He came to the studio and was trying to talk

1329
01:02:05,119 --> 01:02:06,880
to me, so I didn't have a chance to respond.

1330
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,559
I'll say, ma, zoom makes the Sweet sixteen, let's go.

1331
01:02:10,119 --> 01:02:12,039
I want to say Final four, but I'll say sweet sixteen.

1332
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,039
Speaker 1: You know what the key to that success is is

1333
01:02:14,079 --> 01:02:18,760
wearing those old school Missouri jerseys, those block ms on them. Yeah.

1334
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,199
Speaker 3: Those That's when Derek Cheeves, former Missouri great, was warning

1335
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,559
him before the before he became a Houston Rocket. We

1336
01:02:24,639 --> 01:02:26,679
did it before Michigan too, So really it's ours.

1337
01:02:27,079 --> 01:02:30,119
Speaker 2: But you know Ross that Missouri did not win an

1338
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,920
SEC game last year. They went over in the conference.

1339
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: I did not know.

1340
01:02:33,599 --> 01:02:36,039
Speaker 11: Now they're fourteenth in the country and he beat Alabama.

1341
01:02:36,239 --> 01:02:38,199
They put one hundred and ten points up in Alabama.

1342
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,519
Speaker 1: Oh. He raised his voice like Gordy raised his voice.

1343
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,280
One hundred and ten points. Matt, let's go. Let's go

1344
01:02:46,119 --> 01:02:50,239
U of H Missouri in a round two matchup. What

1345
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,199
do you think? Ooh, that'd be cool. You want you

1346
01:02:53,239 --> 01:02:54,960
want to get lost that early? Okay, that's fine.

1347
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 3: Well they're not gonna be a nine. They're not going

1348
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,079
to be an eight nine. It would have to be

1349
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,679
this further down. I wouldn't my chances.

1350
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,480
Speaker 1: But what is what is Missouri? Where? What is our

1351
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:08,039
friend Joe the Naughty have him? Oh? I'm not sure.

1352
01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:11,159
Speaker 11: I'd have to look that up, all right, And then

1353
01:03:11,199 --> 01:03:14,079
I'll say the Rockets beat Bucks, Spurs and Kings, but

1354
01:03:14,159 --> 01:03:18,920
then lose to the thunder Oh god. And then Texans

1355
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,280
resigned Stefan Diggs.

1356
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,679
Speaker 1: I'm still saying Stefon Diggs is not resigned. They have

1357
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,880
Missouri as a five. Okay, so that would not be

1358
01:03:29,039 --> 01:03:32,280
until what sweet round of thirty two? No, be around

1359
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:32,880
of sixteen?

1360
01:03:33,079 --> 01:03:34,159

1371
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,159
Speaker 3: What's going on to see some basketball? If it's the

01:04:05,199 --> 01:04:05,960
Longhorns playing?

1373

got another one.

1400
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 3: Matt Lancelkeller Junior contributes to the twenty twenty five Houston Astros.

1401
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,599
Does that mean throws or you mean like he contributes

1402
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,800
plus player, he contributes on the field.

1403
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:36,639
Speaker 1: Okay, do you want me to reply to that or

1404
01:05:36,679 --> 01:05:40,280
just let do whatever you want? I don't care. Let's

1405
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:44,320
go I choose to be optimistic. Let's go on. I

1406
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:45,960
don't know how he's gonna do, but we're not gonna

1407
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:46,719
see him until May.

1408
01:05:48,079 --> 01:05:52,159
Speaker 3: That's probably accurate. So what he's throwing bullies, he's feeling good.

1409
01:05:53,239 --> 01:05:55,159
He's supposed to have live VP later this week.

1410
01:05:55,719 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: What if he said he was feeling bad? Would you

1411
01:05:57,519 --> 01:05:59,559
have flipped out? Yes? Yeah, I would have flipped out.

1412
01:05:59,719 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1413
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:00,079
Speaker 3: Wo.

1414
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: He continues to throw. Every fifth day. He continues to throw.

1415
01:06:07,039 --> 01:06:10,920
That's good. So because the AD shut down yet you know,

1416
01:06:11,039 --> 01:06:13,880
I'm I'm gonna give you a more specific date. He

01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:18,119
Speaker 1: Okay, I got you. You want to make a prediction

1473
01:09:18,159 --> 01:09:20,840
about his ops in the first month, I don't.

1474
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 3: Say slow start. He always starts slow. Why would it

1475
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:23,479
be any different.

1476
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: There's there's too much history to say that he's April

1477
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:28,439
numbers aren't great.

1478
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 3: Maybe he's finally learned though, because he always comes in

1479
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:32,720
in like incredible shape and it's almost like he's got

1480
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:34,760
to lose the weight to gain some flexibility in his

1481
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:35,600
swing or something.

1482
01:09:36,079 --> 01:09:39,039
Speaker 1: Maybe he's coming into camp a little dowe. You never know. Yeah,

1483
01:09:39,039 --> 01:09:41,520
I mean he's going down that he's on the dungets diet.

1484
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:46,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's eating really well. Let's go to uh, Seth

1485
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,960
over by minute May Park at eleven thirty five. Seth,

1486
01:09:49,239 --> 01:09:49,960
what is in your gut?

1487
01:09:50,039 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 1: My friend bud up. Guys, I'm gonna throw two of

1488
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:53,920
them out.

1489
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,159
Speaker 10: They all first one is gonna be I don't know

1490
01:09:57,560 --> 01:09:59,680
if the Nola and Arnatto thing's gonna happen, but I

1491
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,680
think one more acquisition gets made with the Astros before

1492
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:07,039
opening day. Who knows, but I'm optimistically that one more

1493
01:10:07,119 --> 01:10:10,520
move gets made and then the second. With what we're

1494
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:14,239
seeing so far with the ABS system, mark this out

1495
01:10:14,279 --> 01:10:16,920
on the Automated Ball Strike system will be in the

1496
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:17,920
Major's next season.

1497
01:10:20,279 --> 01:10:23,279
Speaker 1: Uh okay, you know what, We'll write those down, Seth.

1498
01:10:23,319 --> 01:10:24,960
Thank you very much. Remember if you get these right,

1499
01:10:25,039 --> 01:10:27,520
call back and brag. Now. I did see something weird

1500
01:10:28,159 --> 01:10:29,479
ross on the ABS the other day.

1501
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 2: Okay, there was a game that ended with a strike

1502
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:42,640
call HM that was challenged. Yes, the ABS system overturned

1503
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:46,239
the call. It put the runner at first on a walk.

1504
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,840
Then the picture got pulled so and then they had

1505
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,079
to go through, So it was like an eight minute

1506
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:58,079
sequence between the ABS calling it a ball, the picture

1507
01:10:58,159 --> 01:11:01,239
then getting removed, the other picture going back in to

1508
01:11:01,359 --> 01:11:03,479
get the final out of the game. Now, that's just semantics.

1509
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,279
That's what's gonna happen with games. But it was an

1510
01:11:06,359 --> 01:11:08,920
awkward finish to the game. Uh in that spring training

1511
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:09,840
game they were testing it on.

1512
01:11:10,359 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 3: That sounds great. The game should have ended.

1513
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: On a bad call. No, no, I'm not saying it. No,

1514
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,600
I think it's no. This is the right thing.

1515
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,199
Speaker 3: It's just you're gonna have some clunky endings, and that

1516
01:11:20,359 --> 01:11:22,880
was certainly one of them yesterday. Yeah, I don't know

1517
01:11:23,039 --> 01:11:25,680
that that makes me happy that a game that would

1518
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,199
have ended on a bad call doesn't end. That's beautiful, man.

1519
01:11:29,239 --> 01:11:32,039
What if we could get every single call right? You're

1520
01:11:32,039 --> 01:11:35,439
gonna die on that vine, a man, what wouldn't that

1521
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:36,159
be crazy?

1522
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,439
Speaker 1: I know, I know, you're you. You wanted twenty four

1523
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:39,840
to seven.

1524
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,319
Speaker 2: I know, I know, And I'm tired of fighting you

1525
01:11:43,399 --> 01:11:45,680
over it because I in theory you're you're you're right.

1526
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:49,079
Not in theory you are right. But they want the

1527
01:11:49,119 --> 01:11:50,399
human elements still in the sport.

1528
01:11:51,199 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 3: The euphemism for for errors, mistakes, human element.

1529
01:11:55,439 --> 01:12:00,399
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just I don't mean to be the man news,

1530
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,359
but that's just what we're hearing. That's what the streets

1531
01:12:02,359 --> 01:12:02,880
are telling us.

1532
01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:05,039
Speaker 1: But how about this ross, Why don't you keep that

1533
01:12:05,119 --> 01:12:07,119
optimistic that if it works so well in the next

1534
01:12:07,159 --> 01:12:08,359
two to three years, maybe the little.

1535
01:12:08,199 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 3: Every pitch I think it's eventually happened. I'll say within

1536
01:12:11,159 --> 01:12:12,880
the next ten years. Who knows, but you get it.

1537
01:12:13,159 --> 01:12:16,199
You got to deal with the umpires union and the players.

1538
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,840
And look we were talking about with with not with Lancea,

1539
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:23,520
with Spencer Arraghetty pictures. You might need a slight expansion

1540
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,840
of because the zone as it is in the rule

1541
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:28,800
book is kind of tight to where it's called.

1542
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,279
Speaker 1: It's very tight to where it's called.

1543
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:35,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, so a slight expansion, slight percentage, some kind of compromise,

1544
01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:40,079
and then fullybous one day at least if I think

1545
01:12:40,119 --> 01:12:41,960
it happens before I hit my deathbed. And that's what's

1546
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:42,560
the most important.

1547
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: Matt.

1548
01:12:43,239 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 3: So you're saying by twenty thirty five, yes, okay, I

1549
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,600
mean that we can all hope for things, right, m See,

1550
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,760
twenty thirty five will put me in I mean.

1551
01:12:52,239 --> 01:12:53,680
Speaker 1: I think I'll still be in the business unless they

1552
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,000
get kicked out for some reason. That's not what I

1553
01:12:56,159 --> 01:13:03,640
was hearing this show. I don't know who whatever you're

1554
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:06,199
in your in your wheedies today, but it's it's uh,

1555
01:13:06,279 --> 01:13:10,640
I'm just making jokes, Matt. You know how very personal

1556
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:13,680
Philip and pair land on seven on a Philip puts

1557
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:14,079
in your gut.

1558
01:13:16,359 --> 01:13:22,199
Speaker 11: Oh hey, Matt, Well, I was, I was, well, I

1559
01:13:22,359 --> 01:13:24,720
wonder is the ABS zone?

1560
01:13:25,199 --> 01:13:26,319
Speaker 6: Is that three dimensional?

1561
01:13:26,399 --> 01:13:31,199
Speaker 1: It's just two dimensional? Three dimensional? It is?

1562
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 3: So that reverse call?

1563
01:13:34,079 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: How did that work?

1564
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 5: So?

1565
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,159
Speaker 4: What did the ABS call?

1566
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,560
Speaker 1: Somebody challenged it, called it a right, but challenge?

1567
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,199
Speaker 4: Was it the umpire's call or the.

1568
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 8: The ABS call?

1569
01:13:46,359 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 1: Because you can't challenge the ABS call, you challenge the umpires, right, Okay,

1570
01:13:52,319 --> 01:13:53,920
I just wanted to be clear about you know, it's

1571
01:13:54,039 --> 01:13:56,119
new to me. I know it from tennis.

1572
01:13:56,199 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 4: Really well that yeah, you can't challenge. I mean, that's

1573
01:13:59,039 --> 01:13:59,399
the call.

1574
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing but all right, so the umpire made

1575
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:04,720
the call? All right?

1576
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 3: Who would we give up for Durant?

1577
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 1: Well again, I'm afraid to hear. Well, I don't almost

1578
01:14:17,039 --> 01:14:19,319
any of the current players, you know, thank you? Oh yeah,

1579
01:14:19,359 --> 01:14:21,199
that had to be current players. I think they want

1580
01:14:21,319 --> 01:14:21,960
draft picks to.

1581
01:14:22,399 --> 01:14:24,239
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, I lied, it's a two D system.

1582
01:14:24,319 --> 01:14:26,720
I don't know why I thought I saw three D recently.

1583
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,199
Speaker 1: But it's too an extra D is what you're saying? Then?

1584
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:33,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and an accident an extra dimension, Matt, I'm sorry,

1585
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:35,039
it's I don't know why I thought I saw it

1586
01:14:35,079 --> 01:14:35,399
in three D.

1587
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,159
Speaker 1: It's two D. What's the difference between two D and

1588
01:14:38,239 --> 01:14:38,520
three D?

1589
01:14:39,319 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 3: Uh? Like it would go through all the way through

1590
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,960
the back of the plate. Oh, okay, I think it's

1591
01:14:44,159 --> 01:14:45,640
the way I'm seeing it is in the middle of

1592
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:46,000
the plate.

1593
01:14:46,159 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Yeah, it's in the basically the

1594
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,199
middle of the plate. Roskin, you guessed the first three

1595
01:14:51,279 --> 01:14:55,279
D movie I ever saw my entire life, Jaws. That

1596
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:59,880
is accurate. That is correct? Where do I wait? Nothing

1597
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:05,359
scared a crap out of me? Literally? Really? You really?

1598
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:07,119
You defrecated on yourself?

1599
01:15:08,279 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 5: Yeah I was.

1600
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,920
Speaker 1: I think I ronated on myself for sure. Hmm.

1601
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 3: And then they called you peatpants school the whole rest.

1602
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,239
Speaker 1: Of the time what they called me?

1603
01:15:17,359 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 3: Okay, everybody remembers that one kid that peed himself, right,

1604
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:22,279
I remember his name. I'm not even gonna say it

1605
01:15:22,279 --> 01:15:24,159
out loud. I hope he's doing well.

1606
01:15:24,279 --> 01:15:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you right now, because I'm an honest person.

1607
01:15:27,079 --> 01:15:28,520
I peed myself one time.

1608
01:15:28,399 --> 01:15:30,199
Speaker 3: In my Oh that's right, you said, weren't you at

1609
01:15:30,239 --> 01:15:32,800
the doing the spelling me? Oh my god, that's gotta

1610
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:33,199
be tough.

1611
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,039
Speaker 1: It was tough. I was embarrassed. The word was bit whack.

1612
01:15:36,079 --> 01:15:37,880
I got it wrong, and then I peed myself. And

1613
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,399
that's why you hid behind the mascot mask. Matt. Wow,

1614
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:45,359
but I turn out okay, right? That explains a lot. Actually.

1615
01:15:47,199 --> 01:15:50,079
Uh And as far if the Rockets really went after Durant,

1616
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,199
my guess is they had to give up. You would

1617
01:15:52,199 --> 01:15:57,159
have to give up one of their starters. That minimum

1618
01:15:57,239 --> 01:16:02,399
plus traffics. Jamaris Smith Junior, Come on down.

1619
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 2: The reality is durance and early now slowing down. I

1620
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:08,920
mean I am I a little weary of thirty weybe

1621
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,680
with thirty seven next year, is that right?

1622
01:16:11,039 --> 01:16:14,399
Speaker 1: I think? So we'll see him.

1623
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:16,520
Speaker 2: They're coming back to Houston one more time before the

1624
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:17,960
end of the year. We go to Phoenix one time,

1625
01:16:18,079 --> 01:16:20,159
so two more games of the Suns before the end

1626
01:16:20,159 --> 01:16:20,600
of the season.

1627
01:16:21,039 --> 01:16:22,199
Speaker 1: Just keep that in the back of your hat.

1628
01:16:23,119 --> 01:16:26,359
Speaker 2: Wrapping things up let's talk to Chris and Jersey Village

1629
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:27,720
on The Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

1630
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,079
Speaker 1: Chris, what is in your gut this week?

1631
01:16:30,079 --> 01:16:30,239
Speaker 5: Hey?

1632
01:16:30,399 --> 01:16:33,359
Speaker 1: This has got feelings right? What was that guy's got

1633
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,399
feeling right there? Did he have any feeling? I think

1634
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,560
he said. I think he had utter confusion. That's a

1635
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:42,880
segment I'm tomorrow. Oh yeah, yeah. It's easy to get

1636
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:44,720
your days mixed up sometimes.

1637
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 3: I've got my guts telling me two things, guys.

1638
01:16:48,159 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 5: First thing is Jordon Albarez will hit more than thirty

1639
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:52,840
five home runs this year.

1640
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: And secondly, Jose Altuve will win the Gold Glove and

1641
01:16:58,199 --> 01:17:01,479
left field. Oh god, okay, you're on crack. I mean,

1642
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:04,720
I'll be honest with you. I hope not. I hope

1643
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,520
you should because crack. You know, crack is whack man,

1644
01:17:07,680 --> 01:17:09,640
Crack is whack. Is that what Whitney said one time?

1645
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:10,399
Or was it? Yeah?

1646
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,520
Speaker 3: Well, well I think it was Whitney. She was saying

1647
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,720
she was too classy for crack. I think over thirty

1648
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:18,199
five bombs feels good for jord On.

1649
01:17:18,319 --> 01:17:21,279
Speaker 1: You know, he's never hit forty. Can you believe that?

1650
01:17:21,399 --> 01:17:24,359
Isn't that crazy? You know the thing that troubles me

1651
01:17:24,399 --> 01:17:25,920
a little bit by you saying that is that he's

1652
01:17:26,239 --> 01:17:29,039
he plays in primarily American league ballparks, and most americanly

1653
01:17:29,159 --> 01:17:31,319
ballparks are a can of corn home run. I mean,

1654
01:17:33,319 --> 01:17:36,000
if he if he was a Detroit Tiger or Baltimore Oriole,

1655
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,880
I'd kind of get that. But now, if he was

1656
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:41,960
a right handed hitter, wouldn't you just he could fling

1657
01:17:42,039 --> 01:17:42,560
his left.

1658
01:17:42,399 --> 01:17:44,239
Speaker 2: Forearm mountain hit home runs. But he's a lefty, so

1659
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,279
it's a little bit more of a poke to right.

1660
01:17:46,319 --> 01:17:48,560
Speaker 1: But it's not like it's that what is it three

1661
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,199
twenty five to write? In uh a minute? I mean, sorry,

1662
01:17:51,279 --> 01:17:51,840
dyk in park.

1663
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have the tip jar ready for every one

1664
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:57,359
up the times that one of us says the name

1665
01:17:57,399 --> 01:17:58,560
of the ballpark wrong.

1666
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:05,159
Speaker 1: Stop myself there at least did, Yeah you did? Can

1667
01:18:05,199 --> 01:18:08,720
you not go forty? I'm sorry, it's the it looks

1668
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:10,840
like it's three twenty six to.

1669
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 3: Write was a foot when he his home runs right,

1670
01:18:13,079 --> 01:18:15,840
like hits the upper decker up their upper deck. Yeah,

1671
01:18:15,880 --> 01:18:18,359
his ops career is nine to seventy three. That's insane.

1672
01:18:20,319 --> 01:18:22,039
It's better than Bagwell, Berkman, et cetera.

1673
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:28,159
Speaker 2: You want to make Jordan Alvarez a uh top five

1674
01:18:29,159 --> 01:18:31,000
MVP Cannate, We're like, do that the wrap.

1675
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:31,239
Speaker 1: Up the show?

1676
01:18:31,359 --> 01:18:35,279
Speaker 3: He finished ninth last year, yeah, third and twenty twenty two.

1677
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:38,880
But he doesn't play the field, so that hurts him.

1678
01:18:39,119 --> 01:18:39,439
Speaker 7: It does.

1679
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,079
Speaker 3: I will not put him as an MVP. Okay, who

1680
01:18:45,079 --> 01:18:46,039
would be the favorite right now?

1681
01:18:46,119 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: Judge? Probably American League?

1682
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,279
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, and then shoheo Tani with a back to

1683
01:18:51,359 --> 01:18:54,960
back in the National League. We shuld do a gut

1684
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:56,640
feeling soon on what wan So was gonna do?

1685
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: Is a met think that'd be fun? Yeah? Oh, Bobby

1686
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:04,199
win Yeah, wit can a small market guy one MVP?

1687
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,399
Absolutely yeah, especially the Royals make the playoffs.

1688
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,119
Speaker 3: I would say, well, it looks like betting ons he's third.

1689
01:19:10,319 --> 01:19:14,279
It's Judge witt Alvarez. No, actually, depending on the book,

1690
01:19:14,319 --> 01:19:17,840
Gunner Henderson, so he's top four.

01:19:18,359 --> 01:19:21,720
