Astros to beat the Red Sox eight.

00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:43,920
morning than having Astro highlights and share? I dare you, Houston, Texas,

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,240

00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:52,840

00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,640
making fun of this song and making fun of you

16
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:55,399
before you out me?

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,479
Speaker 2: You can do it right now, I don't care.

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: Let me. Let me just tell you because it was

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,880
my suggestion.

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,239
Speaker 2: But okay, this is cheesy, so good.

21
00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: But if you jumped, I was like, what about your

22
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:08,719
team back to go ahead?

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 4: It fits?

24
00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: It does so I could be mad at myself for

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,120
even suggesting us so good. It's like I asked a

26
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:23,040
bear if we should go eat salmon? Should we go?

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,280
You want some honey?

28
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: Exactly, man, you wanted some share? Should we play?

30
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,239
Speaker 6: Share.

31
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: All right. Now she's super old.

32
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Now, oh, here we go. But for about forty years

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,040
she's was just the sexiest thing alive. I mean just

34
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:51,159
super super hot, sang, acted funny.

35
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: And just oh my goodness.

36
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:56,439
Speaker 1: I mean maybe I just missed her prime too hard,

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,439
because that's an uh okay, I'll take your word for it.

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: Uh okay. I'll just say this.

39
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:06,359
Speaker 1: I may be one of the only heterosexual men in

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,639
the world that loves share like a share.

41
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:10,759
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I know you saw her in Vegas.

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: I did.

43
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 2: I did go see her in Vegas. I was given

44
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,639
a ticket and.

45
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,759

46
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:19,599

wonder time.

00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: That's important. That's what's important, man, that's great.

49
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm trying to think if I want to give

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,960
you a video of her on Sunny and Share, that's

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,159
like nineteen seventy four. She can't appreciate that. Maybe like

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,120
Share eighty two eighty three, when she started becoming an actress,

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,680
I still wasn't born. But that's just Brime. I'll take

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,280
your word for it. I'm not calling you a liar.

55
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that very much. Good morning everybody,

00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,199
Han Ross.

57
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. The Astros are doing great. I'm in

58
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,879
a spectacular mood. Can I say something to any Astro fan, Yes,

59
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,080
any Astro media, any Astro observer, this is outstanding. What

60
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:00,599
happened last night amazing. But just it's like I would

61
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:02,439
tell you if the Afters had opened the season one

62
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:05,719
and four. I just we have to just it's a

63
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:10,639
sample size. No, nope, nope, nope, Si mcculors, let's go

64
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:14,000
al two. Tweet out you two home runs? Oh you did? Yeah,

65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,719
I didn't see that. Uh, Jordan Alvarez, he's mashing the ball.

66
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:22,639
We're all good, baby, I mean, it's nice. It beats

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,280
the alternative new hitting coaches had a slow start, but

68
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:27,800
the new hitting coaches got Jose L two A two

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,120
home runs. Let's go.

70
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:32,039
Speaker 2: You know what, you're going to start speaking out in existence.

71
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: I'm with all those people are gonna call the show saying, Ross,

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,039
we used to call you for months on end and

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,400
talk about how they need to be a change in

74
00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:42,439
the hitting coaches, and you were poo pooing that. Yeah,

75
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,360
they taught Jose to L two A had a hit.

76
00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:48,520
It's great. He's being more patient. He's working walks. I

77
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:55,080
love it well the way Ranger Suarez a runhead not

78
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:02,120
good yesterday. Uh helped Venezuala when the WBC. Yes, he

79
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:05,199
did he throws. Did he unload some of the bullets

80
00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:09,400
too early? I don't know, because apparently when he got

81
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:11,680
back from to Fort Myers where they have spring training,

82
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:13,800
he was lousy and then he was obviously the first

83
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,319
start of the season yesterday for him was loudy. That's

84
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:19,319
a question for him and his trainers and his uh

85
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:20,079
metrics and what.

86
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,120

00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:29,600
gonna be easy because we can't screw this one up.

112
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,759
We always like to have Joe on when things are

113
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:36,399
going well, Yes, or Emai Udoko or anybody, anybody. Yeah,

114
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,439
So this is a nice time to have Joe on.

115
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,959
Three in a row, Lancer Colors Junior doing his thing,

116
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,240
seven innings of one run ball getting swings and miss

117
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:47,040
And by the way, we.

118
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: Are done making predictions. I think No, I'm not done.

119
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:56,079
Speaker 1: I'm done because we had extraordinarily limited expectations of the

120
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,240
astro starter yesterday, and he, by the way, has the

121
00:05:58,319 --> 00:05:59,279
now the teammates.

122
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: There's always a wide range of outcomes in.

123
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,959
Speaker 1: Anything in life, Matt, and sometimes we're right, sometimes they're wrong.

124
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
We go every time every year, we go and look

125
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,720
at our Super Bowl predictions from week one.

126
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,439
Speaker 2: They're way off, not good, because life is hard to predict.

127
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone had seven innings of one run

128
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,920
ball with nine k's and only one walk on their

129
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:22,199
bingo board for Lansmacullors junior. He did it. Let's look

130
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,360
at that box score for him. Okay, did anybody have

131
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,040
seven innings?

132
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: Raise your hand? No, going on? I had the over

133
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,720
three and a half, four hits. You probably could have

134
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:32,560
put that on the board.

135
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, one run possible, but probably not likely. One walk possible,

136
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:47,800
not likely. Nine freaking strikeouts. I wrote down a prediction

137
00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:49,959
for his thing yesterday when we were doing over unders. Yeah,

138
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,839
I said four and a third, two earned runs, five strikeouts,

139
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,920
three walks.

140
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: Not particularly close.

141
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:59,079
Speaker 1: But that's okay, dang, but that was about what And

142
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,720
this is the thing too, when you pay it towards

143
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,839
every other starting pitcher nobody else got it out in

144
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,759
the sixth inning. I'm sorry, no, uh Pat, nobody got

145
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,480
towards the six inning. My borrows did five and two thirds. Sorry, yeah,

146
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,439
And everybody else was bad to worse. So Hunter Brown

147
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:20,160
didn't give up a run but labor. He threw one

148
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,759
hundred and two pitches. He was efficient, he was getting out,

149
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,519
he was getting swings and misses, he was getting double plays,

150
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,720
he was getting out of jams. It was awesome. I

151
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:33,560
didn't believe what I was seeing. It was amazing. It

152
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,040
was and I don't mean to be uh too grandiose

153
00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:43,040
on this. It was like twenty eighteen. It was eventually performance.

154
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,519
It was awesome. That's what you signed him for five

155
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,240
years and whatever the dollar mount. And this was a

156
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:50,279
guy man. We were in front of him in spring training.

157
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,279
He sounded like he was had one foot out the doorway.

158
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,399
It's like, I is I pitch good? It'd be great

159
00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:57,879
if not. I've left it all on the family. I

160
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,480
love my family. Maybe I'll just start servicing Mark coffee.

161
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,680
Maybe I'll take care of some more pets. I mean,

162
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,439
he's on all those things. He was introspective and emotional,

163
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:07,720
and it just felt like you know he was making

164
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:10,319
his last stand, so for him to go out there,

165
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:13,079
and we talked about this throughout spring training. He is

166
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,639
mister Bury me in the h twenty seventeen Astros holdover

167
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:20,519
with al two ve both of those guys performing last night.

168
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:23,120
That was awesome. Yes, it's it's a March game against

169
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,000
the Red Sox, but it was as special as a

170
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,920
March game against the Red Sox can get. And if

171
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,199
we talked about this far, they're one of one sixty two.

172
00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:36,679
You can't take this one away, you can't. I was astonished, awesome. Oh,

173
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,039
by the way, you're OPS leader now, jose L Twove

174
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,480
with an ops of almost fourteen hundred.

175
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: Let's freaking go. I love L two leading off.

176
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: I got zero problem with Jordon Alvarez betting second and

177
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:51,600
three through seven. Figure out the way you want to

178
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:56,440
do it. Let's go. I'm on board. Gordon Alvarez, dhing

179
00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:59,120
whatever Bryce Matthews and left with and went not a

180
00:08:59,159 --> 00:09:04,080
cheap shot four hundred and thirty four feet one eleven

181
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,240
off the bat. I know you love exitblo, Mattie. I'm

182
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:10,039
a big exit blow guy. Uh did you know I'm

183
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:11,799
gonna make sure this is accurate. It was accurate as

184
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:13,519
the last year. Josel two has not hit a ball

185
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,480
one eleven in his life. So Bryce Matthews showing some power,

186
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:20,200
Bryce Matthews, that was a as the kids will say,

187
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,000
a tank job.

188
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,399
Speaker 2: Yes, well literally to the gas pump.

189
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think gas pump is cheaper than getting

190
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,039
the gas in the in the neighborhood. I don't think

191
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,519
it's connected to anything. I've always been I've always brat

192
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:32,799
about how Kingwood Gas is cheaping everybody else. Man, we

193
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:36,000

194
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:37,600

Speaker 2: And so you felt up your tank once a month.

196
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's five minutes for me to get here. Don't

197
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,320
just don't do that. Don't give me your evil eye.

198
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:50,919
I chose where I wanted to live, so I live

199
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,759
close because I got problems waking up sometimes. It's fair.

200
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,240
So well here from Lance mccallor is coming back all right?

201
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,960
Hodel two have hit a ball one twelve in twenty eighteen.

202
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,559
He's never hit a ball one eleven any other time, though,

203
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,879
Stop not giving stop giving out of Ronie's information.

00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,600
topics we have put together on our list seven one

three two one two five seven ninety seven one three

220
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,559

221
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,120
Lance mculor is coming up at the bottom of the

222
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:10,399
hour after his uh, I mean startling, I mean I

223
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,679
what do you want to use? The term? There is

224
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,519
if you were to say one starting pitcher to the

225
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,639
first turn of the rotation was going to give you

226
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,879
one run over seven innings, there was no one, and

227
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,039
I mean no one would have guessed Lance mculor's. He

228
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:30,120
would have been the last guess. Yeah, and it's awesome,

229
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,240
it's great. It's I'm like I've been saying, I'm rooting

230
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,480
for him, like it's a consistency.

231
00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:38,759
Speaker 2: It's yeah, but it was.

232
00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:39,279
Speaker 1: It was.

233
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: Highly enjoyable. Good for him.

234
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,399
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what, uh, being an that Look,

235
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,320
here's the reality of it. Being an athlete's tough. It

236
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:51,519
just is to be really Now granted, if you're really

237
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:53,600
good at your job, you make a lot of money,

238
00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:54,799
and then once you make a lot of money, you

239
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,200
got to back that money up. And so not that

240
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,600
not everybody knows what everybody makes in life. But when

241
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:03,559
you're a public figure and you are attached to your

242
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,480
dollar amount because your team has a budget or you know,

243
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:09,399
has to work with the perimeters of a salary cap,

244
00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:13,080
every dollar matters. And the reality is the money that

245
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,200
it's been spent on Lance mccolors over his major league

246
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,120
career has not been good because it didn't want to

247
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:20,360
be good, just because he wasn't good because no, ninety

248
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,799
percent because of injuries. Yea, his body has been failing.

249
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,559
I mean, he wants to be out there and he's

250
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,120
just got all this hate and I think we talked

251
00:12:27,159 --> 00:12:29,960
about it the last couple of weeks, and even last

252
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:31,759
night I was tweeting about how great he was going to.

253
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,559
Oh well, I'm waiting for him to get hurt. Okay,

254
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,120
shut up, you shut your momb ass up. Okay, the

255
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,759
sligh enjoy the moment while it's happening. Maybe he'll get hurt,

256
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:43,320
Maybe he won't. Who knows. I got news for you.

257
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:48,960
Historyes athletes get hurt, yes, multiple times. Actually, so it's

258
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,519
it's I don't even know what else to say. It

259
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:55,519
was that we were turning back time. Yes, two hitting bombs.

260
00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:59,279
Mccullars is out there dealing krls. Korey is making blue

261
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:02,440
Star play, is running into right field tossing and throwing

262
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,919
guys out. Lancemccullers Junior is going, that's my boy. Oh like, oh,

263
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,759
this is so great, this is amazing. Nostalgia was hitting

264
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:13,320
last night watching the Astros. That's right, and that's why

265
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,440
it's awesome to turn back time. And we need to

266
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,879
play more share songs.

267
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: Than a show.

268
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's just that's it. I guess you know what, if

269
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,120
they win tomorrow, we can play believe? Why share? Why

270
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:30,480
then we actually we hit a quota. There's no quota

271
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:33,840
per month, once per month, Jonathan, turn back time? Do

272
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:34,399

273
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 6: I mean?

274
00:13:36,039 --> 00:13:37,039
Speaker 1: Who doesn't like share? Though?

275
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: Thank you me? There are two adult men who are

276
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,519
heterosexuals that like share in this office.

277
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: All right, you're not to qualify it. Yeah, sometimes you

278
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,200
got to qualify things in life. I feel like share.

279
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,120
You like share, Matt. It doesn't matter. Yeah, but as

280
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,000
soon as I say you like started a snicker. I

281
00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:57,399
didn't snicker. I've known you like share for twenty years. Yeah.

282
00:13:57,399 --> 00:14:01,600

308
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,159
in Los Angeles at ten twenty three Steven, good early

309
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:57,759
morning to you.

310
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 9: Hey guys, I hope you're doing well today. Obviously, he

311
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:05,799
was watching the Actress game last night, and to say

312
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,559
that I was stunned by what I was seeing out

313
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,559
of Lance the Colors as on an understatement it was.

314
00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:16,639
It was really just a marvel to watch how well

315
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,000
he was pitching last night. And I think one of

316
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,639
the things that was most surprising and the most telling

317
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,320
was that his walks were almost non existent. I think

318
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,159
he had one last night, And even when he's been

319
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,879
an effective pitcher in the last few years, that he's

320
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:38,919
actually pitched He's always been prone to walk guys, you know,

321
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,440
a handful of guys. So to see him, you know,

322
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,240
I think what worked the best last night, or that

323
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:49,440
was helping him the most, as far as my opinion

324
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:52,440
goes with, is that he was able to command his basketball,

325
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,080
you know. And and obviously it's it's not his most

326
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,480
effective pitch, but I think when he was struggling so

327
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,120
much last year, he was just throwing his fastball and

328
00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:03,360
he had no idea where he was going, and then

329
00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:06,399
everybody was just you know, sitting on his off speed stuff,

330
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,399
and and it was just it. It just made for

331
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,480
long at bats and long pitch counts and things like that.

332
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:15,840
And he just had everything working for him last night,

333
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,480
and it was really just a joy to see to

334
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:20,720
see that. And the last thing I'll say is if

335
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:22,960
we could all just say a little prayer and to

336
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,360
the baseball gods, let's let's please get one hundred and

337
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,519
fifty games out of Jordan Alvarets this season, because my god,

338
00:16:29,679 --> 00:16:32,279
I mean, it's a small sample size, but I think

339
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,480
in five games, you just you can see how much

340
00:16:35,519 --> 00:16:39,440
she impacts this line up. I mean, even his outs

341
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,279
are have been loud, you know, so far, so a

342
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:46,559
lot of good stuff. No complaints on my end. Thanks guys,

343
00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:47,720
I'll hang up and listen.

344
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: Thank you.

345
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: He is patying to play one sixty two, Yes he is.

346
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:54,759
Speaker 1: And uh there were some people worried about his spring

347
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,720
training numbers. Oh you know on never mind, I thought

348
00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:00,720
that was that was a Cole in there. Not Cole

349
00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:06,000
was schmish morty, oh smish. He also wanted Jason Alexander

350
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,480
in the starting rotation. Your favorite Space Cowboys go, they

351
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:11,839
pick mondays off right. Well, by the way, do you

352
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,039
hear about Zak Cole got y? Yeah, hurt foot, gonna

353
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:16,599
be out a while. Yeah, you got hit with a pitch.

354
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,559
He broke a toe and just put some tape on it.

355
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:20,319
Wrap that bad.

356
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: Boy, imagine. But also why push it?

357
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,839
Speaker 1: It's like week one of the Space Cowboys season and

358
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,839
they're loaded with their stocked But if you get that

359
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,000
over under a one hundred and three?

360
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, how'd you a little concerned about that?

361
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: That fine?

362
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: Next man up, baby, I got belief in my Space Cowboys.

363
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,960
Yeah you should talk. It's the first pitch of the

364
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,920
Space Cowboys game.

365
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: I should. Everybody's be like the hell this guy? Ladies

366
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,759
and gentlemen, now on the mound from the Sports Talk

367
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:51,480
seven ninety one, half of the Mount Thomas Old Ross,

368
00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:55,359
It's Ross. Would you raise your hand and say, hey,

369
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,240
how are y'all doing? Yeah? I would do the double

370
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:02,720
peace signs running like Richard Nixon. Like Ringo, startist too,

371
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,880
What are you trying to? Ringo does it every time,

372
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,079
and at least ten times per concert aboutopus.

373
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: Ringo one of the greatest drummers of all time.

374
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: Just keep the meat, Ringo, Let John, John and Paul

375
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:29,920
do their thing in George too. You got one job, brother. Okay,

376
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:32,640
he's fine, because some drummer nerds gonna call.

377
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:36,079
Speaker 10: Up what is disrespecting Ringo? If you listen to his

378
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,880
fills on something, you're really gonna hear something special. And

379
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,599
he's playing with the band. He's not taking over, and

380
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,160
that's what's really great about Ringo.

381
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine. I kind of said it better myself.

382
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,559
Speaker 1: Again. The line last night for Lance mc college Semoning's

383
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,319
four hits, one one run, it was earned, one walk,

384
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:07,160
nine k's it's the victory through ninety six pitches.

385
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: That's what we were.

386
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: Expecting, not every single time, but much more over the

387
00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:16,279
last couple of years than we have received. Astro's got

388
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:18,519
an outstanding performance of him. Ryan Weiss gave you two

389
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:20,599
innings last night with three ks, and I spounced back

390
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,039
for him after a rough debut. Astros hit not one,

391
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,960
not two, not three, but four home runs crush Ranger

392
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,920
Suarez and the Red Sox and the Astros have now

393
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,160
one three consecutive games. We bring you back here at

394
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480
ten thirty two here on Sports Talk seven ninety.

395
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

396
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Weiss looked really great, and of course we know

397
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:39,400
mccullors did as well. Let's hear a little bit from

398
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,640
him in the post game first of all, just on

399
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,799
his outing and how he was feeling out there, as

400
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:48,000
the results were pretty darn good. Feel good.

401
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 11: You know, I know the Red Sox are an incredible team,

402
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:54,839
so I've known for you know, two weeks or so

403
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,319
that I was going to face them in the first game.

404
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,000
So just what the you know, coaching staff has apprecied

405
00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:01,400
to me since spring.

406
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,519
Speaker 1: Just got to be in the zone. You know, just gotten.

407
00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 12: Reports are all good and everything.

408
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 11: Like that is good, but we gotta we got to attack,

409
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,319
and we got to be in the zone, and we

410
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,400
got to force it. So I did that early and

411
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,200
then my defense, you know, some unmlievable plays behind me.

412
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,039
Speaker 12: Offense was incredible. So it was a it was a

413
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:17,400
good day.

414
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:20,319
Speaker 1: It's a good point or was a team effort. Defense

415
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,480
was good. Yeah, getting out to a nice early lead

416
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:26,839
builds confidence too. You feel like you can not necessarily

417
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:29,359
get away with a mistake, but maybe take some chances

418
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,319
that you would hope that you build to, especially if

419
00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:33,240
you got a little bit of a cushion mm hmm,

420
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,079
you know, for for a Monday night game after the

421
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:40,720
you know, the pomp and circumstances opening weekend, you kind

422
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,039
of It's funny. I've brought this up up many times

423
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:45,480
that I apologize I've heard it before. I don't think

424
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:49,160
there's a bigger drop in elevation of a first game

425
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,160
of a season in baseball to a second game, more

426
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,839
than any other sport, And so I think it kind

427
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,720
of comes with the opening series. You go through the

428
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,720
you're on your first road trip, you got a new

429
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:02,920
team coming in even second series on a Monday, that's

430
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,480
kind of a drop off to low pressure situation. It's

431
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,920
the Red Sox, but I mean it's not like you

432
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,759
know their World Series contenders, No, right, not at all.

433
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:13,920
I mean, it's it's Bregman's not wearing their gear anymore, Sosig,

434
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,279
the sizzle of him being back in town. So yeah, I.

435
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: You know, it's early, but it was awesome.

436
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put any more into it than except

437
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,880
to say it was enjoyable. And I like the bats

438
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,039
of the third straight game. I mean high high production

439
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,359
for three straight games, so win. Putting things in perspective,

440
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,480
when the Astros score with three runs over a six

441
00:21:36,519 --> 00:21:38,880
game stretch, I don't want to hear about the betting

442
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,839
coaches not doing their job, because right now, the betting

443
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,279
coaches are outstanding. I almost said, I almost said, no,

444
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,079
people are going to be smarter than that, but no,

445
00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:52,519
and and look, I wish Astros shorter was smarter. It's

446
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:55,799
just not it's the worst. Everybody Twitter, but it's the worst. Yeah,

447
00:21:55,839 --> 00:22:00,839
somebody has me the worst. Low Rockets still fire, Udoka

448
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,240
Chagoon one Rockets too. I'll give you credit. Texans Twitter,

449
00:22:06,599 --> 00:22:13,160
you're okay. Individual college twitter is really bad. I would

450
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,920
say so, but I don't know. It's Uh, it's a

451
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,440
real tight race, oh one two between Astros Rockets. It's

452
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:28,519
such a significant it's a real Oli Frasier. That's so funny,

453
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,680
all right, seven one three two one two five seven

454
00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:33,759
ninety seven one three two one two five s anything

455
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:35,079
else from Lances, we want to wait for a little bit.

456
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go. Let's here's what he had to say about.

457
00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:38,839
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, obviously it's been a long road for

458
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,319
him with the injuries and the spring and all that

459
00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:43,880
type of stuff. He says he's not trying to focus

460
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,079
too much on his past.

461
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:48,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've just been trying to, uh not put too

462
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,079
too much stock into the past or the future, honestly,

463
00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:54,440
just try to be president and just try to go

464
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,039
out there and compete really honestly.

465
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think last year.

466
00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 12: Was obviously tough, and uh, I.

467
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,839
Speaker 11: Think I just carried the weight like every start, you know,

468
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,799
and so this year I've just been just really focused on.

469
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,039
Speaker 12: It's just trying to.

470
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 11: Not worry about the past or the future and just

471
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,839
enjoy the moment and go out there and compete as

472
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:16,319
hard as I can.

473
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:30,039
Speaker 1: He's so measured, introspective, measured, and you know, honestly, that's

474
00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:32,000
the way he's supposed to be, because if you were

475
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:33,559
if he was to come out and say, man, I

476
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,839
am back I am nationwide. I look out, here comes

477
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,400
a brain new Lance Colors at twenty twenty six. And

478
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,119
then all of a sudden something heart or gets beat

479
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,880
up or blasted, and then people jump on him again.

480
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,480
He and me. Let me tell you, Lance knows, lanceman

481
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:50,480
I having a Twitter or a Facebook or a TikTok,

482
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:54,079
but he knows. He's not naive. He's not gonna come

483
00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:58,160
out there and cut a promo and the Red Sox

484
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:03,319
got another thing coming. Majella. You something you thought I

485
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,559

486
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,880
I'm gonna shut you down. A's and Mariners get out

488
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:17,640
I said, bury me in the h but we're gonna

489
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,759
bury them on the mound when I come out. He's

490
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:24,680
not gonna do that. No, be great, Lance, You just

491
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,599

492

I get that twentieth one will be great. And you know,

493
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,920
I'm just put a lot of hard work in and

494
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:35,359
it's almost not someone it's not belichecking, but it's so

495
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,599
it's I mean, I think he just has well, he's

496
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,039
had a lot of time to gain perspective, and I

497
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:45,279
think it's the right perspective. Live in the present moment.

498
00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:48,119
The pass will haunt him the future. Don't you want

499
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,079
it to come on and go? See I told you

500
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:50,759
i'd be back.

501
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: You counted me out, bitches.

502
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll do that. No, but that I

503
00:24:59,079 --> 00:25:02,160
like it. I'm cool with it. I love it, especially

504
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,279
as someone who's trying to, uh, you know, be more

505
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:07,680
in the present moment myself, Matt, were you in.

506
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,319
Speaker 2: The past before?

507
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,079
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just have an anxious, anxious mind

508
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,240
overthinking things. Just be in the present moment. Everybody needs

509
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,359
to relax. It's all good. I appreciate that. I need

510
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,720
you to push some of that to me. I got

511
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,559
three games this week and four more three and a

512
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:31,200
half shows with you a herculean effort. Last night, didn't

513
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,160
dream much. I'm trying to think if I had anything

514
00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:37,119
was memorable. I think the answer to that is no. Okay,

515
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,960
by the way, if I ever bring up dreams on

516
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,799
the show, you got to almost have like dream Weaver

517
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,480
standing by okay, by Gary right by the way, or

518
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,799
mister Sandman or mister Sandman Works or inter Sandman. No,

519
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,960
that's that would probably send me into the bad dreams. Okay,

520
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,359
well it's been a dream for Alanscepa Collor's junior. That

521
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:02,720
was nobody. Nobody saw that coming, not even him. He says.

522
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,400
The numbers in spring were pretty good. I mean he

523
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:08,240
was getting better as the month was progressing. And again,

524
00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:10,359
I don't use spring numbers as any indicator one way

525
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,039
the other except you're fighting for a playoff. For us,

526
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:13,960
he was getting a lot of whisk, but a lot

527
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,759
of it was out of the zone. But I mean

528
00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:17,839
that just means that he had the Red Sox fooled.

529
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,599
So I'm just gonna go on that and and we're

530
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,519
gonna hope that he's not gonna do that every time out.

531
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,480
But it's a nice building block and you couldn't be

532
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:30,480
more encouraged. And we got an ABS victory last night,

533
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,960
which we haven't had one of those. Yes, thank you,

534
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,400
thank you. L two with you see how small that

535
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,160
strike zone was that they put on the on the TV.

536
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,519
By the way, the Astros will enter play. I'm standing's

537
00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:50,559
watch okay, are you serious? Stop? Half game behind the brinker?

538
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:57,119
I said stop, and you didn't stop. Right now the

539
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,880
Rockets standings watch is fine. Rockets are the Astros are

540
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,519
half game out of first, and they would be the

541
00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:04,359
second wild card at the season end of the day.

542
00:27:05,319 --> 00:27:09,400
Season does and end today, Matt, It's March thirty first.

543
00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:11,960
By the way, got a ruling from our friend Alex

544
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,440
to just send us a tweet. I can use share

545
00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:17,440
next month. I see. I that popped in my head,

546
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,960
but I wasn't gonna say it out loud because that

547
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,960
would have been a good line for you. Well, good

548
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,440
thing is next month is the first you're telling me

549
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,400
I can use one share song per month on the show. Uh,

550
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,519
that's the rule. That's no, it's a thirty day there's

551
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:32,880
a thirty day moratorium. That's fine if you want to,

552
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,200
you know what, use all the share you want. Let's

553
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,240
go No, nilsadaka Share, Barry.

554
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 5: Manilow, Kendrick Lamar, we can play. We'll play Kendrick if

555
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,319
we want. Let's not put Barry Manilow in that list

556
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,480
of people. Okay, Hey, Barry's fighting cancer. Hope he gets

557
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,720
throw it over to see.

558
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh Man to cancel some shows, but I think

559
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,039
you're starting to re adjust the schedule to add some

560
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:52,599
shows back.

561
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 2: So do you know what kind of I'm just curious.

562
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,920
I don't actually don't know. I don't know.

563
00:27:57,079 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: Well, I hope he's all right, all right, seven on

564
00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:02,240
three two one two five seven seven one three two

565
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,480
two five seven, And we are gonna get a little

566
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:06,440
NBA chatter coming, and we get the Rockets and Nicks

567
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,359
coming up tomorrow tonight Stage one. Lung. I don't know

568
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,839
if Berry was a smoker or not. I don't I

569
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,119
don't know if he was. But you don't have to

570
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,839
be a no. There's a lot of people getting lung

571
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,960
cancers don't have never smoke. Yeah, And I went to

572
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,519
a download and really quick. Fine, stay in the present moment,

573
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,240
enjoy the now, see, because who knows what's gonna Happenrow,

574
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,440
start taking your own advice. I'm trying. It's hard. Life

575
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,759
is hard, Matt. No, but at least we have the

576
00:28:33,839 --> 00:28:37,000
tended to uh fantasy world that we which we live

577
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,640
in here every day on this on this show. All right,

578
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,240
let's see what else going on baseball wise, Uh, the

579
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:45,519
Mariners finally got something on cal Raley that was good

580
00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:49,200
for him. I guess is that what we want? No,

581
00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:51,759
By the way, everybody's complaining about the new TV package

582
00:28:51,759 --> 00:28:54,000
that MLB is going through just like the NBA was complaining.

583
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:56,079
Either there are some games on Peacock, there are some

584
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,720
games on Apple TV. And I thought about the yesterday

585
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,160
and it's not easy. It does take work and it

586
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,839
also takes more money. But we figure out a way

587
00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:10,079
to watch our college football teams. That way, hell, you

588
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:16,119
of h this year was on FS one, TNT, ESPN,

589
00:29:17,079 --> 00:29:21,400
ESPN two, ESPNU. Now granted those are all cable quote

590
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,279
unquote cable stations doesn't require you to have an extra fee.

591
00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:26,480
And when they were one gay I think they were

592
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,440
on CBS Sports.

593
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 2: Network one time.

594
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,359
Speaker 1: My answer to it to all of you that criticized this,

595
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,759
and a lot of people tend to do this on

596
00:29:33,799 --> 00:29:36,119
social media more so than just running into you, is

597
00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:40,640
I get it. It's it to watch sports. Just to

598
00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:43,880
watch it is significantly more expensive than it was ten

599
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,960
years ago. You could not. When I was a kid,

600
00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:50,960
you had even if you didn't have HSC the cable channel,

601
00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:54,559
you had eighty games on Channel twenty and that was free.

602
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: Didn't cast you a darn thing.

603
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:01,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder what they're doing is they're saying, we're

604
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,480
die you and I are diehards. We're gonna watch Astros

605
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:06,200
wherever they're on. They're trying to get people who are

606
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,759
not who are browsing Apple TV, who are browsing Netflix,

607
00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:11,079
who are browsing Hulu, who or whatever, and like, oh, okay, well,

608
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:12,799
I guess I would disagree with you. I think they're

609
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:14,880
doing it just for the check. Because the regional TV

610
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,480
networks are going away. You're getting no money. So if

611
00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:21,000
someone's gonna offer you a check, does or like Apple,

612
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:24,000
But I mean more so, they really don't care if

613
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,240
they're they don't They honestly don't care if an at

614
00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:29,880
if a Seattle a resident is gonna watch the Astros

615
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,440
an and it's the plan. Of course. Plan one is

616
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,880
the check. I know that I'm not saying they're not saying.

617
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,279
I'm not saying they're saying, we're gonna do this for free.

618
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,119
But that's got to be the only reason they can

619
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,279
try to do that. They're trying to spread things around

620
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:45,519
and try to gain I don't know, more casual fans

621
00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:47,039
or something. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

622
00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:53,160
See as a diehard Astro fan, you would have had

623
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,680
a chance to catch me watching Giants and Yankees on

624
00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:00,480
opening day if it was on the ESPN. But because

625
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:04,000
it wasn't and I was on the road, and I

626
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,000
could have gotten Netflix in my hotel roomance not very

627
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,279
difficult to do that. But you're also assuming that I

628
00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:12,119
have Netflix, and you're also assuming that I have on

629
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,160
my phone. I just it's you're just adding a few hoops.

630
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,440
And generally speaking, the football, the baseball, and the basketball

631
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,720
folks are like, we don't care. If you want it

632
00:31:21,759 --> 00:31:23,599
bad enough, you want to see your team bad enough,

633
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:26,880
you'll figure out a way. Yeah. I just wonder because

634
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,200
Peacock is still losing money. I know you just had

635
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,000
this big merger. The long term financial ecosystem is interesting,

636
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,599
intriguing to me. Well, I think it's a direct correlation

637
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,640
to the regional TV networks that are going away. You

638
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,359
have half the teams in Major League Baseball. Their TV

639
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,319
networks are gone. They're either producing their own stuff or

640
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,079
Major League Baseball is producing it for them.

641
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: They're getting no revenue. Local television dollars are going away.

642
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: Why is that? Because they just the business model was bad.

643
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,920
They were trying to directly, they were trying to go

644
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,000
to these cable companies and these satellite providers saying, hey,

645
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:01,480
you need to pay us for the have this channel,

646
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,720
and they're like, no, we don't want to pay it. Yeah,

647
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:08,200
we're good. Yeah, so again we're lucky here. Space City

648
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:11,000
is on just about everything I think. I don't think

649
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,440
it's on YouTube. I think it's on everything else. It's

650
00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:15,759
not on Dish, I don't think. Yeah, but Dish doesn't

651
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:18,039
care about sports. So if you if you're a Dish subscriber,

652
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,559
you're you don't like sports?

653
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: Am I right?

654
00:32:22,319 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: Well shut out my dad, dad, dad Villa realite like sports.

655
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,240
Let's go get off the Dish. I know we've been

656
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:30,119
trying to tell them that for fifteen years. Yes see,

657
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,440
how's it worked? He doesn't listen to us. So is

658
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,559
is he called complaining but not having the Astros games? No,

659
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:36,920
well that's a nice guk. He just catches them more

660
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,400
than our own. Now you can catch a lot of

661
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,039
games on streaming services in national TV. Yeah all right,

662
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,160

00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:52,799
half game in front of the Rockets for the five

680
00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:54,960
seed in the West. They were in Dallas against the

681
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,799
Mavericks last night, and uh, they did not have Anthony Edwards,

682
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:01,079
who was coming back from his injury. Read the starting lineup.

683
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,359
I thought he was supposed to start. Well, he was

684
00:34:04,359 --> 00:34:08,360
supposed to start, he didn't. What happened, Well, we'll let

685
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,159
Anthony Edwards address that. When the postgame mediate scrum after

686
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:13,800
they dominant went over the Mavericks last.

687
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,039
Speaker 4: Night, Well happened to you for the person I was

688
00:34:17,039 --> 00:34:21,039
taking a oh yeah, but yeah, like I said, Mike,

689
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:24,719
hold it now from here and also to China.

690
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: Conley, believe him or not believe him? Really one hundred percent?

691
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,880
What makes you think he wasn't? I don't know. It

692
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,320
just seems like something he would say if it was

693
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,880
anybody else. Anthony Edwards likes the trol. He likes to

694
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,800
mess with the media. He likes to say crazy stuff.

695
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:57,119
I think he could have been just late to the

696
00:34:57,159 --> 00:34:59,760
arena and he's just saying that. I don't know. I'm

697
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,360
just no, We're just two people. That wasn't like he

698
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,760
was late of the building. You don't, you don't, you

699
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,320
don't enter thee Ever in the history of the NBA,

700
00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:11,440
In the history of the NBA, have you heard of

701
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,199
anybody that has missed the start of a game because

702
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,960
nature called that's why listen to what it gives me, Paul,

703
00:35:19,079 --> 00:35:22,480
listen to me, O g Rocket fans. There was somebody

704
00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:27,039
with the Rockets, I want to say, fifteen sixteen years ago, Okay,

705
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:31,000
that missed the start of the second half. I've heard

706
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,599
of that. That sounds familiar. I don't remember who it was.

707
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,519
I don't either, but somebody missed the start? Was it?

708
00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:38,599
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it was it Dwight. I

709
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:39,599
won't think it was Dwight Howard?

710
00:35:39,639 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: Was it? I think so? I know what you're talking.

711
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:47,239
That sounds vaguely familiar to me too, if somebody could

712
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,519
alert us. But but let me let me give you

713
00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:57,559
some more context. Okay, former rocket Ryan Anderson. You know

714
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:00,039
when you if you go to games, you see the

715
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:02,960
pregame hype when they're in the hallway before they run out.

716
00:36:03,039 --> 00:36:06,760
Uh huh. When Ryan was a rocket, they could not

717
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,000
do it until he got his out of the way.

718
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,760
What do you mean he would time it to make

719
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:20,400
sure he had his restroom experience just prior to walking

720
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,119
out on the floor.

721
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,599
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean maybe he's right. How many minutes did

722
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:26,480
he miss? We'll go look at the box squard.

723
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: What is he eating? Is everything all right? I mean

724
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,679
it could have happened. If you know what, maybe I'll

725
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:34,280
back off. He could have had a bug, he could

726
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,280
had a stomach bo he played well, you think you're

727
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,079
do you think you're done, you think you're over it,

728
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,800
and you're like, all right, I just went twice that

729
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,840
should be good and then booming. So if he had

730
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,840
like a stomach virus, I mean it's possible. I don't

731
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,400
think he had a stomach virus. I think he just

732
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:51,800
take a look. Let's take a look at a stat

733
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,760
line here. How many minutes did he play off the

734
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,840
bench last night? He played twenty three minutes? Okay, Now,

735
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,840
remember he's coming back from injuries. Missed a lot of time.

736
00:37:03,199 --> 00:37:08,280
Seventeen points, seven to thirteen, shooting two of three and

737
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,480
uh two rebounds, four assists, three turnovers, and two fouls

738
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:21,039
twenty three minutes. I under the game of believing or

739
00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:25,000
not believe him, I will say maybe, who knows. I'm

740
00:37:25,079 --> 00:37:27,119
just discpting just because he's such a character. Don't you

741
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:31,320
have to time things out yourself. He's such a character. Yeah,

742
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,920
I do. I can't. I have the time mine? All right,

743
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,039
play it again. I think he sounds sincere on this.

744
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:43,800
What happened to you for the person?

745
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:44,559
Speaker 13: Okay?

746
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: I was taking it?

747
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but yeah, like I said, Mike held it

748
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,719
down from you, Jonathan.

749
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:59,039
Speaker 1: Believe him or not? Okay, I'm I'm leaning towards with Ross.

750
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:01,519
Speaker 5: I think I think something else happened and he's just

751
00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:03,039
like and he's a troll.

752
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:05,199
Speaker 1: I can't really trust that. Yeah, he's kind of a

753
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:08,880
trolling guy, but he's always so honest and open so

754
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,840
that it could be true too. So it's to choose

755
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:18,360
your own adventure before a track meet Jonathan, Yeah, did

756
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,119
you time it out? Honestly?

757
00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:24,199
Speaker 5: You you're gonna want to but you got to keep

758
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,320
that in because you need the energy.

759
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,119
Speaker 1: So oh really, but I thought you want to be lighter.

760
00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:29,320
What do you want to run light?

761
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 5: Because the thing is, you think so, but then all

762
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,400
that energy and all the things you have in there.

763
00:38:33,599 --> 00:38:35,760
Oh oh god, so you're gonna be feeling weak when

764
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:36,599
you wow.

765
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: So and then if.

766
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,320
Speaker 5: You do go, because you're gonna want to go, you

767
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,679
got portapies and you don't want to risk it's calling,

768
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:44,159
you know.

769
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: Is that true for a one as well? No, you

770
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,039
want to let that out because I mean, you'll give

771
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:52,800
you some urgency. No, that's one of the hardest things

772
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,480
to do is run like that. Oh you don't want

773
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,840
to leave you hold on, forget about the track. You

774
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,599
don't want to run period when you have to go

775
00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:02,599
to the bathroom, unless you're running to the bath or he.

776
00:39:02,679 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 5: Just said, well, you want to, you want to hold

777
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,679
it in. I was just saying, like you want to

778
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:09,280
keep that in there?

779
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:09,679
Speaker 1: You want to?

780
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,159
Speaker 2: I don't do you want the sense of urgency?

781
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 5: No no, no no no no no you but like if

782
00:39:14,039 --> 00:39:15,440
you if you don't have to, you're not gonna go

783
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:16,239
and like go do it?

784
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,039
Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying, Like you want are you

785
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:20,840
sure all you track athletes believe this exact same thing?

786
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,519
Speaker 2: I know this has been discussed.

787
00:39:22,519 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: This is this is this is a topic. Yeah, I

788
00:39:24,519 --> 00:39:25,840
mean one of the top.

789
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 5: Look when you go to nationals and you see these

790
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,480
top athletes and there's some guys these skills, you think

791
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:31,920
that was like you.

792
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,079
Speaker 1: Say, bolts trick. See wait, it's the last possible moment.

793
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: Think that's how mister free is one of those runs

794
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:38,840
in Atlanta.

795
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:40,679
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, It's not if it's coming out.

796
00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:42,440
It's coming out, But you know you got to hold

797
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,159
it though, Like you know what I mean, Like what

798
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,159
if you're like walking.

799
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,519
Speaker 1: Up to the blocks, There's no chance. I'm sorry, John,

800
00:39:48,679 --> 00:39:50,760
I'm calling BS on you. There's no way you If

801
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,639
you have to go, you are going to take it

802
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:53,960
with you.

803
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:54,159
Speaker 6: Man.

804
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,079
Speaker 5: I want you to look up pictures of how many

805
00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:59,039
people go on themselves, even like eight hundred mile runners.

806
00:39:59,119 --> 00:40:03,519
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that does that happens all the time? Oh?

807
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 2: Gross tracks a brutal sports hm hmm.

808
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: On that note, we'll get the second hour start of

809
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,840
the show coming up in a half an hour. We

810
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,639
got gut feelings to get to seven one three two,

811
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,239
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one

812
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:25,400
two five seven nine zero. I stand with Anthony Edwards, Frank,

813
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,960
I empathize with him one more time, one more time.

814
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:31,199
Speaker 2: I emphasize, I empathize with him.

815
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,039
Speaker 4: What happened to you?

816
00:40:32,159 --> 00:40:34,679
Speaker 1: For the person I was taking a.

817
00:40:39,199 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 13: Yo.

818
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,199
Speaker 1: There is a slight element of trolling on that, because

819
00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:43,760
he could have just said I just was I wasn't

820
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,920
feeling well. He knew he was gonna get he dead.

821
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,000
I'm watching the video. It's like a dead pan like

822
00:40:50,079 --> 00:40:51,679
he looks like he could be He doesn't smile. He

823
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,039
looks like he could be he he could be trolley.

824
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:58,119
I don't know how we're gonna find out. I like Anthony.

825
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,960
He's a great player, and he he's a character off

826
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,639
the court. Oh he throws a little smile and after

827
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,960
you know he was with a. It was an NFL

828
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,440
athlete at the Wolves game with the othernet that I

829
00:41:08,519 --> 00:41:10,880
was at, and uh, I got into a picture with

830
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,679
those three and him Edwards and me. I saw that

831
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,280
you're not You're in the picture, but you photobomb it. No,

832
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,079
they were waiting for me. No, they weren't. You look

833
00:41:21,199 --> 00:41:25,039
very upset. Yeah, because the Rockets had lost a point

834
00:41:25,119 --> 00:41:28,119
in overtime. Oh, it was after the game. After the game. Oh,

835
00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:30,639
I didn't know that. I was like, man, it looks

836
00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:33,159
like Matt like had to send back his soup at

837
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:35,199
the at the deli or something. You can fike a

838
00:41:35,199 --> 00:41:38,360
smileless face. You didn't know. I guess he didn't know

839
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,800
his beer photograph. I had no clue what you said,

840
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,360
go go find it, go retweet it? Did you?

841
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 2: No?

842
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: Why not? Because I was in there. I'm not in

843
00:41:47,039 --> 00:41:56,360

You ever notice sad, rossy.

848
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: Grumpy can't call fast enough. It's okay, it's human nature.

849
00:42:15,519 --> 00:42:17,280
It is human nature. How many times you go to

850
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,079
a restaurant. Oh man, I had a great steak in

851
00:42:20,199 --> 00:42:23,679
that sou Flay was amazing to many people. You tell

852
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,719
handful that steak was well done and the Sue Flay

853
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,679
didn't rise. You complain in the whole world, but you

854
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,800
can't run to your Facebook fast enough for it. Yeah,

855
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,079
I'm always complaining about Sue Fleay on my Facebook. It's

856
00:42:33,159 --> 00:42:36,360
on me too. Same. SI's seven one three two one

857
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,239
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two

858
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,119
five seven ninety So if you're happy about the Astros,

859
00:42:42,159 --> 00:42:44,800
and I believe you should be, I'm feeling happy after

860
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,639
two light clusters games against the Halos, two nice comebacks

861
00:42:48,639 --> 00:42:50,280
and then just a good old fashioned throttling of the

862
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,800
Boston Red Sox last night. And Ranger Suarez, by the way,

863
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,559
a client of Scott Boris in town yesterday to another

864
00:42:59,599 --> 00:43:01,920
client in Jose L two Bany and Jose rocked him

865
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,679
two home runs for al two bank, approaching twenty four

866
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:12,519
hundred career hits. Yes, how were feeling about him? And

867
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,119
I mean, what's our overall feeling about Lance mccolors junior.

868
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:21,239
Start here in no particular order. First of all, awesome,

869
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,760
Second of all, good for the team because the starting

870
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,239
pitching had been shaking. The bullpen needed a little downtime,

871
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,119
and they got it yesterday with only using Ryan Weiss

872
00:43:29,159 --> 00:43:32,800
and that was it. But third, and this is logically

873
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,920
thinking about Lance, Let's see how he follows it up

874
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,280
five or six days from now. Yeah, that's the unfortunate part.

875
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,360
I don't want to be in a position where I

876
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,280
am saying to myself, when is the other shoe going

877
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:46,039
to drop? Because the result that we got was spectacular.

878
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,679
The stuff was good, right, the fact that the everything

879
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,880
went perfect, only one walk, a ton of whiffs, the

880
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,000
stuff was moving around. He got some great defense behind

881
00:43:56,079 --> 00:43:58,360
him as well. But you add all that up, it

882
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,840
was just spectacular. It was just to watch. And for

883
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,920
somebody who has poured his heart and soul into this

884
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,960
city and has always wanted to be out there and

885
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,360
got a lot of undue hate on social media and

886
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,320
from the fan base, I feel like there's a lot

887
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,760
of people who support him, but some people just waiting

888
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,920
to attack him for whatever reason. For somebody who loves

889
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,960
this organization, it was awesome to see. Well, I want

890
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,639
to contextualize a little bit here on the hate. It's

891
00:44:25,639 --> 00:44:29,880
not about Lance the individual because you can hate an

892
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:36,760
individual for being crazy, comments, insulting, throwing people under the bus,

893
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,400
adversarial with the media. Maybe he has issues with teammates.

894
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:42,639
He was just.

895
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 2: Criticized because of the numbers, the appearances or lack thereof.

896
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,159
And that's hard for an athlete to understand that because

897
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,239
lancem color is in his mind thinking I am a

898
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,000
good dude, I'm involved in the charities, I'm a huge

899
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,800
Houston guy through and through. But yet nobody cared about

900
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,599
that when he was pitching once every two years. Yeah,

901
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:09,400
but still, like, it's not like he doesn't want to

902
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,519
be out there. That's what I didn't get from all

903
00:45:11,519 --> 00:45:14,280
the hate that he was getting. It's like he he

904
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,079
wants to be out there.

905
00:45:15,119 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: He's a competitor. He wasn't hate from a lot of people.

906
00:45:18,159 --> 00:45:19,880
It was a running joke. I think it was. I

907
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,599
think it was a lot of hate for me, get

908
00:45:22,639 --> 00:45:25,079
this guy off my team and stuff like that. Absolutely

909
00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:28,960
he got that, but it was a running joke. Yeah, Well,

910
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,000
I'm wishing it. It happens all the time with athletes.

911
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,159
It's not just him, it's everybody. His absolute dream start

912
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,880
and I hope it continues and for him, you know,

913
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,119
The reality is this, he this is a contract year

914
00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:44,320
for him. Whether he wants to continue pitching or not,

915
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,800
that's certainly up to him. But if he wants to help,

916
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,840
because this team could certainly use it. Look, Emi, we

917
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,960
don't know. I mean, look all the stuff says an

918
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,880
email is gonna be a dynamic starter for this team,

919
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,000
but he's also seeing major league pitching for the first time.

920
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,559
Hitting you hitting, Uh, Hunter, I'm not worried about We're

921
00:46:04,599 --> 00:46:08,239
not sure on Christian Hovere. Frankly, we're just not so

922
00:46:08,679 --> 00:46:10,760
Even though we have so many different options, the Astros

923
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,159
have so many options, it isn't a guarantee that everybody

924
00:46:14,159 --> 00:46:16,320
that pitched the first five games of the year is

925
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,199
going to give you a quality start every single time.

926
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,400
And there's no guarantee to spends Herrogetty when he becomes

927
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,159
a six member of this rotation, is gonna come through

928
00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:26,599
the take take this opportunity, Lance kind of step up

929
00:46:26,599 --> 00:46:29,079
and help out this team when there are still some

930
00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:31,440
question marks even though the team's depth chart but pitching

931
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,719
is pretty good at this I'm still optimistic. It's still

932
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,280
one turn to the rotation. Hunter Brown's still going to

933
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,559
be an ace. EMI's gonna tinker with his repertoire. He

934
00:46:39,599 --> 00:46:43,079
talked about that Burrows has a little more pressure and

935
00:46:43,119 --> 00:46:46,559
not playing for the Pirates. Yes, that's fine. I'm not

936
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:49,679
that worried about that. And yeah, em will be an

937
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,280
interesting case because he's coming straight over from Japan and

938
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:54,719
that's going to be an adjustment period.

939
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:55,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

940
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you annihilate the starters for not doing

941
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,079
their job. And I don't think you put side my

942
00:47:00,119 --> 00:47:04,280
colors on a pedestal because of the let's go. I'm ready.

943
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,360
I'm ready for it. I don't think Major League Baseball's

944
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,239
Comeback Players of the Year are most improved.

945
00:47:09,079 --> 00:47:11,639
Speaker 2: I think it's more of an NBA thing. Recently did

946
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:12,480
they start doing that?

947
00:47:12,519 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: They really added it, But I mean, look, that's the

948
00:47:15,039 --> 00:47:17,119
award he could go for. That means the Astros and

949
00:47:17,159 --> 00:47:18,920
for Lance personally, he benefits from that.

950
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,079
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they've done it. They started it in two towns.

951
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

952
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have an award. Okay, Well, there's a leader

953
00:47:26,119 --> 00:47:26,840
in the clubhouse for that.

954
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,039
Speaker 1: He's got the song and he's got the Comeback Player

955
00:47:29,039 --> 00:47:30,639
of the Year award already locked and loaded.

956
00:47:31,159 --> 00:47:33,639
Speaker 2: At least you're one start Roger on seven on a

957
00:47:33,679 --> 00:47:34,280
Good Morning.

958
00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 14: Roger, Good morning, Matt uh So on the Astros. Yeah,

959
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,280
I thought it was gonna time warp yesterday. It felt

960
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,920
so good as I was constructing, constructing mind Chili Body,

961
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,000
I met hused hot Dog on the top of the

962
00:47:51,079 --> 00:47:55,960
artis and Bunn just so nice have all that and

963
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,800
one and one motion one.

964
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 15: In one moment. It was nice, you know, uh putting

965
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,480
the the cherry on the Sunday with the home runs,

966
00:48:05,559 --> 00:48:08,960
and then you know, jord On extending the arms and

967
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,679
then got Lance just doing the Lance thing with the

968
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,719
fire and the brimstone that he's known for back in

969
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,719
the day. It was just so nice to see. And

970
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,800
I just hope that that continues. I see that the

971
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,280
more patient at the plate. Yeah, a couple of guys

972
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:25,840
are still frilling away, but I'm hopefully it's contagious, just

973
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,960
like it was contagious negatively last year where they were

974
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,239
just swinging at everything and not having an idea of

975
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,920
what the strikes all was looking like. So yes, hopefully

976
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,440
this continues. And there was and the first two then

977
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,280
there was still patients too. It was coming It looked

978
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,920
like it was coming out. I wasn't gonna you know,

979
00:48:42,199 --> 00:48:44,159
didn't think they're gonna come back from a six oars deficit,

980
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,760
but they did, and you know, they went in con

981
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,079
rissy fashion. So let's just keep it up.

982
00:48:48,679 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: Now.

983
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 15: My my question you on the rockets and more specifically

984
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:54,280
opening the shanguin.

985
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:56,039
Speaker 13: Uh.

986
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,079
Speaker 15: He had this in the first game of the season.

987
00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:00,960
He was stroking. He looked like it was going to

988
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,360
be a part of his game. It looked like he

989
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,920
unlocked something that would get to space the floor and

990
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,880
we're just going to be just a better team. And

991
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,639
then it went away. And now usually when he does

992
00:49:11,639 --> 00:49:14,800
that top of the key, he'll fake it and and

993
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,719
he'll fake it and like nobody buys, nobody, nobody buys

994
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,480
for that stuff. But he does that, And I'm thinking

995
00:49:20,559 --> 00:49:22,760
maybe he just got tired of doing that or you

996
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,239
see that, you see him in practice, you see him

997
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,719
on a daily basis. What what do you think it

998
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,679
made him say, you know what, I can do this

999
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,039
because we need that.

1000
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,119
Speaker 1: Like, well, I think and thank you Roger for the

1001
00:49:35,119 --> 00:49:37,480
phone call. It's the next level to his development. If

1002
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,159
he's going to take his game to the next level,

1003
00:49:39,199 --> 00:49:40,639
is being able to pick him pop threes.

1004
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,119
Speaker 8: Uh.

1005
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did it a lot overseas. He did it

1006
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,079
for a lot of the first month of the year,

1007
00:49:47,199 --> 00:49:49,440
and then it wasn't falling for about a month, and

1008
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,719
the Rockets basically said stop doing it now. I don't

1009
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,119
know if one game changes things around. It was crazy.

1010
00:49:56,199 --> 00:49:58,760
It was crazy that he made five of them. They

1011
00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:01,639
were they weren't even there. We're just like swishing in too.

1012
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,320
Oh yeah, and then he puts he has a little

1013
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,360
that little what's that bird that has the one leg

1014
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,320
in the air all the time? The flamingo, the flamingo

1015
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,840
shot that was falling for the most part yesterday or uh,

1016
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,719
he was just on and it was great to see.

1017
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,440
I I don't want to overreact to one game. I

1018
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,239
still don't think he's going to develop into a three

1019
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,440
point shooter. I don't think I would like for him

1020
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,039
to be in the thirty three thirty four percent range

1021
00:50:26,119 --> 00:50:27,920
right now. He's at twenty eight at least enough to

1022
00:50:28,039 --> 00:50:30,920
keep honest to at least actually, yeah, defend it a

1023
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:31,320
little bit.

1024
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, after that.

1025
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: Game, he's up. Is this correct?

1026
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,199
Speaker 2: He's up to three or thirty point five percent as well. Okay,

1027
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:38,639
let's see, let's take a look.

1028
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: After I mean the one game five or seven because

1029
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,400
he doesn't take a lot for thirty point three or five,

1030
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,400
so essentially thirty one percent. Yeah, but his career two

1031
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,000
to eighty. Yeah, this is his fifth year. Normally, guys

1032
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,719
aren't just gonna it's I think it's a one game.

1033
00:50:55,159 --> 00:50:57,559
I honestly don't you know. We had Emai Doka on

1034
00:50:57,599 --> 00:50:59,920
talking about Russell Westbrook making threes. He's like, we like

1035
00:51:00,079 --> 00:51:01,840
when those guys make threes because then they get confident

1036
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:03,320
about it. Well, it worked out in that game.

1037
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: So let's see.

1038
00:51:04,159 --> 00:51:07,199
Speaker 1: Let's just like with Lancer to Cross sports here, let's

1039
00:51:07,199 --> 00:51:08,920
see a sustained success of this.

1040
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,079
Speaker 2: I wouldn't I wouldn't bank on it. I wouldn't either.

1041
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,039
Speaker 1: All Right, the comments are back in town. We'll talk

1042
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:14,519

to purchase the Connecticut Sun and we'll be bringing Houston

00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:36,119
Comets WNBA basketball back to our community not this year,

1051
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,559
First things first, let's get the team here to tell Okay,

1052
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:50,320

1055
00:51:57,639 --> 00:51:59,159
Speaker 16: Good morning. I was like, are you putting me on

1056
00:51:59,199 --> 00:52:00,960
the spot asking me a job for a job.

1057
00:52:01,199 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: No, No, that's one hundred percent. I'll take the blame.

1058
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:05,880
I'll take the blame.

1059
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 2: Blame me.

1060
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: You guys been working on this, obviously behind the scenes

1061
00:52:10,039 --> 00:52:12,880
for quite some time. When the final announcement came through

1062
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,599
and everything was agreed upon. What it was it like

1063
00:52:15,639 --> 00:52:17,719
for the family, for yourself now with a new project

1064
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,239
here bringing the comments back after.

1065
00:52:19,119 --> 00:52:22,559
Speaker 16: A long absence, Yeah, it is, it is.

1066
00:52:22,639 --> 00:52:25,599
Speaker 17: It is so excited Tilman. Tilman is very excited. Obviously

1067
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,679
is is far away, but has been so engaged and

1068
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:32,719
passionate about about this process. And Patrick and Page and

1069
00:52:33,039 --> 00:52:36,519
the entire family and our our organization and the fans

1070
00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:39,320
and the community are just over the moon.

1071
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 16: So we're very we're very excited to get this across

1072
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:42,800
the finish line.

1073
00:52:43,079 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 17: Get kind of the official approval and and go from there.

1074
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,960
But yesterday's announcement was a big first step for us.

1075
00:52:50,199 --> 00:52:53,079
Speaker 1: It is amazing to me new television deals and look,

1076
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,280
you know this from the NBA world television deals make

1077
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,920
the world go around, having stars, having the ability to

1078
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,880
use social media. That BNBA it's a different animal than

1079
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,400
it was, say twenty years ago. In this team in

1080
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:04,320
the city we're had.

1081
00:53:04,159 --> 00:53:06,679
Speaker 18: One, Yeah, for sure.

1082
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,760
Speaker 17: I mean the growth has been exponential and it's been

1083
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,719
steadily growing for years and then over the last couple

1084
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,559
of years it was a tipping point where it just

1085
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,440
you know, kind of exploded exponentially. But like anything, I mean,

1086
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:23,199
the WNBA has always had very strong passionate fans. It's

1087
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,360
a phenomenal brand of basketball. But if it's not accessible

1088
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,800
to the general public, it's really hard to grow new fans.

1089
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,840
So just the media and the television exposure that you've

1090
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,239
seen grow over the last five to seven years has

1091
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:39,559
been gigantic, and you've seen it and the growth and

1092
00:53:39,559 --> 00:53:41,119
the popularity.

1093
00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:41,159
Speaker 16: Of the sport.

1094
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: Gret and Sheer, president of the Rockets, and now comments

1095
00:53:45,039 --> 00:53:47,119
joining us here on the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

1096
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,639
You know, Cynthia and Tina and Cheryl. I mean, how

1097
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,159
much will you try to integrate the pass to the

1098
00:53:55,199 --> 00:53:57,039
future of the Houston comments.

1099
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,519
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean that's super import right, So the legacy

1100
00:54:01,599 --> 00:54:04,079
is important. I think that I am so I talked

1101
00:54:04,119 --> 00:54:05,760
to you know, I was able to call it Tina

1102
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,320
and Cynthia and Cheryl and obviously they've been supportive through

1103
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,440
this whole process and Van Chancellor and I was able

1104
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,199
to talk to them Friday afternoon after you know that

1105
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,159
the news started to leak, and I'm just personally, I'm

1106
00:54:17,199 --> 00:54:18,360
so excited for them.

1107
00:54:18,599 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 16: I mean, they were they built.

1108
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 17: You know, they were the foundation that helped build what

1109
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,480
is the WNBA you know today thirty years later, and

1110
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,000
when it's not live in your market, you know, it's

1111
00:54:29,079 --> 00:54:31,360
it's they're not always front and center. So the fact

1112
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,039
that the legacy and how talented and just legendary those

1113
00:54:35,039 --> 00:54:39,159
players and coaches were, that that's brought back to the forefront.

1114
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 16: Of this game. I'm so excited for them.

1115
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,760
Speaker 17: So right now we definitely are going to be celebrating

1116
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,239
them and the history that they built and the return

1117
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,840
of that legacy in the.

1118
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,079
Speaker 16: Dynasty and as you know, as we get to you.

1119
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 17: Know, completion and the season starts, will certainly be celebrating

1120
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,159
the game where it is today and educating fans new

1121
00:54:58,199 --> 00:55:00,440
fans on just the growth of the deba the NBA

1122
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,639
and what they had to look forward to in twenty

1123
00:55:02,679 --> 00:55:05,199
twenty seven when this team comes to Houston.

1124
00:55:05,639 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: You brought up the history, so it kind of made

1125
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,239
me wonder, is this going to be like a Cleveland

1126
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,480
Brown's situation. What's going to happen with like team records

1127
00:55:12,519 --> 00:55:14,840
and all that stuff with as it relates to the

1128
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:15,679
Sun and the Comets.

1129
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:18,639
Speaker 17: You were asking questions that I cannot answer.

1130
00:55:18,679 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry.

1131
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, well you can blame me again.

1132
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all part I'm over too.

1133
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 17: All part of stuff that yeah, all part of stuff

1134
00:55:26,039 --> 00:55:27,960
that we will that we that we're working with the

1135
00:55:28,079 --> 00:55:31,320
WNBA on as we as we finalize and complete this process.

1136
00:55:31,519 --> 00:55:34,679
Speaker 1: Gretchen share with us here on Sports Talk seven ninety

1137
00:55:35,079 --> 00:55:37,960
and just overall your thoughts, Grettion, of what you've seen

1138
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,079
as a woman, of course in a male dominated space

1139
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:45,360
and in men men's sports, the growth of women's sports

1140
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,280
and what we're seeing with the NBA and I mean

1141
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,119
a volleyball and really all over the country in women's

1142
00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:51,840
sports in general.

1143
00:55:53,519 --> 00:55:54,199
Speaker 16: Yeah, game is.

1144
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 17: Game, right, So I think with the increased exposure, you know,

1145
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,960
the world is recognizing how talented these women are and

1146
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,000
what they bring to the court or to the field

1147
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:09,599
every single day. They're getting the respect and the pay

1148
00:56:09,679 --> 00:56:12,440
that they have earned and built, and you know, a

1149
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,280
lot of that is due to not only the media.

1150
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,519
You know, obviously the media exposure, but the media exposure

1151
00:56:17,559 --> 00:56:19,119
wouldn't be there if the fans weren't there.

1152
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 16: And so I'm just proud of the world.

1153
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:26,760
Speaker 17: I am proud of sports fans for supporting women's sports

1154
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,599
and helping grow the game. And we knew, you know,

1155
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,679
as we started looking through this process about and about

1156
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,559
bringing the WNBA back and bringing the comments back, you

1157
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:40,800
could just feel the excitement from you know, fans of

1158
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,360
the team from the past and fans from the WNBA today,

1159
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,679
the business community eager to support women's sports fans like

1160
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,440
you could feel it bubbling up under the surface. And

1161
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,440
yesterday when we were able to make the official announcement

1162
00:56:54,519 --> 00:56:57,480
and launch our deposit campaign, we had some pretty high

1163
00:56:57,559 --> 00:57:03,639
expectations and exceeded Yesterday exceeded all of our expectations. And

1164
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,039
you know, us, we're pretty aggressive and pretty competitive.

1165
00:57:06,119 --> 00:57:08,559
Speaker 16: So we feel we feel really.

1166
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,079
Speaker 17: Good about where this team is going to be when

1167
00:57:10,079 --> 00:57:11,960
it launches in twenty twenty seven, and we're going to

1168
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,079
need everybody listening to make sure they put their deposit

1169
00:57:15,159 --> 00:57:18,119
down and come out to support this team as we

1170
00:57:18,159 --> 00:57:19,280
relaunched this franchise.

1171
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,199
Speaker 2: And I'm assuming call in the office. Is there a

1172
00:57:21,239 --> 00:57:23,840
website or what's going on socially in terms of farming.

1173
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,519
Speaker 17: Yeah, Houston Comments dot Com is live, So Houston Comments

1174
00:57:28,519 --> 00:57:31,679
dot Com is kind of the central hub of where

1175
00:57:31,719 --> 00:57:34,639
we can have everything that we're able to have as

1176
00:57:34,639 --> 00:57:38,360
we as we complete this, complete this process. But the

1177
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,840
deposit is there. There's some retail that's there celebrating the

1178
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:47,360
WNBA's return to Houston. That's where you can find kind

1179
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,960
of upcoming stuff on where to follow us on social media.

1180
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,159
There's a Facebook page, there's an Instagram page, there's an

1181
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,679
x page already ready to go. From the comments obviously,

1182
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,880
having the partner brand right in the Houston Rockets, you know,

1183
00:58:00,039 --> 00:58:03,280
we're able to amplify that message while we build the

1184
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,079
Comets independent fan base.

1185
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,119
Speaker 1: And the schedule is going to expand, right, There'll be

1186
00:58:08,119 --> 00:58:10,039
more games in the future years correct.

1187
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 16: There will be more games. You know, the terms the.

1188
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,559
Speaker 17: Agreed upon has been done by the CBA. The league

1189
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,079
is papering that right now, and they'll be expanding by

1190
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:24,079
a handful of games.

1191
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 16: Over the next several years.

1192
00:58:25,719 --> 00:58:29,519
Speaker 17: Exactly how that plays out each year, I think they're

1193
00:58:29,559 --> 00:58:31,800
finalizing in those terms, but they'll play.

1194
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:34,239
Speaker 16: It looks like they'll get up to fifty.

1195
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 17: In in the next few years, which will be twenty

1196
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,920
five home games, give or take.

1197
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: Gretchen. There's a lot of new expansion teams. Last year

1198
00:58:41,039 --> 00:58:43,360
Golden State Toronto's going to have a new team Portland.

1199
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,280
Have you been able to bug them about what to

1200
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,440
do what not to do in terms of trying to

1201
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,920
build a new franchise in a new city, especially in

1202
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,719
some of those cases that are bringing back basketball.

1203
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 19: Yeah, we have.

1204
00:58:54,559 --> 00:58:55,519
Speaker 16: And then Cleveland.

1205
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 17: Cleveland is twenty eight, and then Detroit and Philly will

1206
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,400
be added as well. Yeah, I mean, that's that's the

1207
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,920
great That's the great thing about having the infrastructure of

1208
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,199
the NBA and your colleagues is that we can learn

1209
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:12,119
people's best, best practices, we can learn from people's mistake.

1210
00:59:12,159 --> 00:59:13,800
I mean, we're in a bit of a different situation.

1211
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:14,679
Speaker 16: We have a year to.

1212
00:59:14,679 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 17: Do this, whereas many of them have several years to

1213
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,719
do it. So we are doing it. Put on the gas,

1214
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:25,199
no break to get ready for next year. So we

1215
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,639
certainly will take some lessons learned and some best practices,

1216
00:59:29,159 --> 00:59:30,440
but we're going to have to do a lot of

1217
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:32,719
this on our own as well, given given the timeline.

1218
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 1: All and again reminding folks, it's the comments Houston comments

1219
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:37,679
dot Com. You can also call the office and all

1220
00:59:37,719 --> 00:59:42,559
the Instagram and Twitter for information about those tickets. Correct, yes, sir,

1221
00:59:43,159 --> 00:59:45,039
All right, well leave it at that. Congratulations on you

1222
00:59:45,039 --> 00:59:47,519
guys work on this for a very long period of time. Uh,

1223
00:59:47,559 --> 00:59:50,239
and look forward to seeing By the way, do you

1224
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:52,599
maybe on avan answers? Do you own the logo and

1225
00:59:52,639 --> 00:59:54,440
all that good stuff or what's going on with like

1226
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:56,079
the old school stuff. Do you want to create a

1227
00:59:56,079 --> 00:59:57,679
new logo? What's what's the works on that?

1228
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 16: Yeah, we're working. Yeah, we're working through all of that

1229
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:01,840
process right now.

1230
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 17: I think it's really important to honor the legacy of

1231
01:00:06,199 --> 01:00:10,920
the brand and the name that elicits so many amazing

1232
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,840
memories for fans, while also making sure that we're stepping

1233
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,440
into the future and we're creating, you know, a look

1234
01:00:17,559 --> 01:00:21,480
and feel that matches the next decades as well.

1235
01:00:21,679 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 2: Awesome, Gretchen, thanks for time, and we'll see you tonight

1236
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:24,440
at the building.

1237
01:00:25,719 --> 01:00:26,079
Speaker 17: Thank you.

1238
01:00:26,199 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 2: We'll see later.

1239
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,519
Speaker 1: Gretchen Cheer, president of the business operations with the Rockets

1240
01:00:29,519 --> 01:00:33,039
and the Comets. As Houston will get WNBA basketball back

1241
01:00:33,079 --> 01:00:36,639
in our city in twenty twenty seven. My daughter's very

1242
01:00:36,639 --> 01:00:38,440
excited and a matter fact, we're talking about that last night.

1243
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,519
So because she doesn't, she has no idea what the

1244
01:00:41,559 --> 01:00:42,599
old school comments are.

1245
01:00:42,719 --> 01:00:44,679
Speaker 2: No, they I mean they took over the city for

1246
01:00:44,679 --> 01:00:45,800
a while. They were great.

1247
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there were some lean Rocket times and

1248
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,519
the comments thankfully took care of the basketball first a

1249
01:00:51,519 --> 01:00:53,679
little bit. And they still have those banners and the

1250
01:00:53,719 --> 01:00:55,440
retired numbers up at the Toyota. So yeah, and I

1251
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:57,320
have a couple of championship bringers for the first time

1252
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:00,320
I watch this, I did you Okay, Yeah, we're gonna

1253
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:01,760
put me on the spot there whether in the games.

1254
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,440
I didn't put anybody on the spot. I made a joke.

1255
01:01:05,239 --> 01:01:07,679
Speaker 2: It's fine, I'll hear about it. I'm sure. Okay, what

1256
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,079
is my fault. I'll take all the blame.

1257
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: I've been taking the blame for years I'll still do it.

1258
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:13,400
It's fine.

1259
01:01:13,679 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 2: I love in twenty seven on Sports Talks.

1260
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:17,639
Speaker 1: I got to get the history back, right. I mean,

1261
01:01:17,679 --> 01:01:21,239
it's got to be a Cleveland Brown situation. I guess, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1262
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,639
all right, eleven twenty seven Sports Talk seven and it's

1263
01:01:23,639 --> 01:01:26,239
se for gut feelings, Ross. I don't even know how

1264
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,159
what we did or how we did. I think I

1265
01:01:29,239 --> 01:01:31,159
we did bring up a question about the Rockets Midwest

1266
01:01:31,199 --> 01:01:32,519
road trip, but I don't think we're gonna get win

1267
01:01:32,599 --> 01:01:34,440
on that one. But if you have any gut feelings,

1268
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,840
if you have an opportunity to have a couple of

1269
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,639
sports opinions that you would like to tell us about

1270
01:01:38,679 --> 01:01:40,559

01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,360
I'm glad you asked, Matt because I got a school

1287
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,800
down and I'm having some computer issues. But it's gonna

thank you? All right, last whoa, we gotta host some whoppers.

1290
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,599
We've had a lot of predictions. Rockets finished road trip

1291
01:02:43,639 --> 01:02:44,360
with three wins.

1292
01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 2: Did not happen.

1293
01:02:47,079 --> 01:02:49,719
Speaker 1: It's fine. Astros win three out of four of us

1294
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,760

1295
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,760
season over seven twenty five ops.

Speaker 2: I will look, it's early.

1297
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: You don't have to look. All right, he's not there.

1298
01:03:02,119 --> 01:03:04,639
I mean you can it's only five games. He's got

1299
01:03:04,639 --> 01:03:06,280
some hard hit contact. Thank you. You'll be all right,

1300
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:10,360
all right? Feeling good about five star catches in the field. Yeah,

1301
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:14,920

1302
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,440
five games than Astro. Well, he broke his toe, so

1303
01:03:17,639 --> 01:03:23,639
you're off to a good start there. I almost don't

1304
01:03:23,639 --> 01:03:27,000
want to read this one. Oh is it?

1305
01:03:27,119 --> 01:03:27,519
Speaker 2: How bad?

1306
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 14: Is it?

1307
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Do it? You've set it up. You have

1308
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:38,519
h Cougars to the final four. I think I also

1309
01:03:38,559 --> 01:03:41,719
had Produce beating Texas, but that doesn't mean much. They

1310
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:46,800
were favored. Uh and Tatsuya e My finishes second in wins.

1311
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:48,440
Oh Sastro season.

1312
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,119
Speaker 2: Okay, just one start, just one, just one start.

1313
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: It's all good, all right? Oh no, did I write

1314
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,960
this down? I said rockets out in the first round.

1315
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:02,679
That's rude. M Oh, this is off to a bad

1316
01:04:02,719 --> 01:04:04,440
start in a good way. I'm happy to be wrong.

1317
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,039
Spencer Arraghetty more starts for the Astros this season than

1318
01:04:08,079 --> 01:04:10,840
Lance mccullor's junior. Well, so far it's one nothing Lance,

1319
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:16,559
and probably gonna be two nothing. First Astro to hit

1320
01:04:16,559 --> 01:04:22,119
a home run, jord On Alvarez. That was correct, Yes,

1321
01:04:22,199 --> 01:04:24,760
you hit that one, nicely done. Should have had action

1322
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:26,559
other one. No, I'm sorry, this is sorry. End of

1323
01:04:26,559 --> 01:04:29,559
the season. I'm sorry. And then I have walker second.

1324
01:04:29,599 --> 01:04:35,400
I misread. Okay, I said Space Cowboys PCL champions. That's

1325
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,920
still very much in play, even though they've got Zach

1326
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,239
Cole out for a while. I said, Cougar's in the

1327
01:04:40,239 --> 01:04:46,800
final four. Sorry, I tried it happens and I said, uh,

1328
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:54,280
Brown first and Victories Burrows second. Correct now Lance mccullor'

1329
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,400
juniors first. He's the cion Canada among the five. Yes,

1330
01:04:57,639 --> 01:05:02,079
all right, Jonathan Allen kept it short and SWI six

1331
01:05:02,159 --> 01:05:05,840
seed for the Rockets, which right in hou is where

1332
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,639
they are. Hey, they're only a half out of five, man,

1333
01:05:07,639 --> 01:05:10,440
it's fine. Actually that's not true. Uh No, it's a

1334
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,199
half out of half out of two out of four. Yes, okay,

1335
01:05:13,519 --> 01:05:18,000
very very tenable for sure. Yes, and there you go.

1336
01:05:18,639 --> 01:05:20,719
Oh Brad Miami said tattoo Emi was gonna be the

1337
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:25,880
best picture on the staff, okay, and could easily happen. Still, okay,

1338
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,840
there you go. There's some gut feelings.

1339
01:05:28,599 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 2: All right.

1340
01:05:29,039 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven

1341
01:05:32,519 --> 01:05:38,119
one three two one two five seven nine zero gut feelings, baby, Jonathan,

1342
01:05:38,159 --> 01:05:39,000
you're going first this week.

1343
01:05:39,039 --> 01:05:41,039
Speaker 2: We always wait for you to go three. You're going

1344
01:05:41,079 --> 01:05:41,760
first this week.

1345
01:05:42,039 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: Give me the three win homestand for the Rockets, they're

1346
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:53,280
gonna sweep the home stand that's Nicks. Bucks Jazz's easy easy. Well,

1347
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:54,920
Bucks Jazz will be a piece of cake the next

1348
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:59,400
and I will be difficult. That's still there's no pieces

1349
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:03,480
of cake. Have you seen this Rockets team? Hey, let's go.

1350
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:07,840
I will join you in that Rockets when the next

1351
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:14,840
three and Rockets two and one and get out of

1352
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:21,639
the six spot this week. Okay, m I just I

1353
01:06:21,679 --> 01:06:23,480
just don't know what to expect this. I know, Hey,

1354
01:06:23,559 --> 01:06:26,119
the the the talking to that the Rockets had a

1355
01:06:26,119 --> 01:06:27,119
couple of days ago.

1356
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 2: Obviously worked, momentum is building.

1357
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know when you hear a team only meeting,

1358
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,599
our players only meeting, that's when you know that the

1359
01:06:34,639 --> 01:06:37,760
arrow is trending upwards. It works so far, team meeting

1360
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,199
in Memphis, Memphis win, New Orleans win, boom, So get

1361
01:06:41,199 --> 01:06:44,559
out of a six in a good way? Has it improved? Yes? Yeah,

1362
01:06:44,679 --> 01:06:46,599
because Phoenix keeps one and two. By the way, I

1363
01:06:46,679 --> 01:06:50,320
know where how they're they're the cushion seven is good.

1364
01:06:50,559 --> 01:06:55,800
I'm going to give you a Texans draft prediction. Really

1365
01:06:57,239 --> 01:07:00,159
they are out of the first round. Yeah you think

1366
01:07:00,159 --> 01:07:02,280
you said that a few Okay, so make sure they

1367
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,400
are tradeable. They are trying. I put my name on it.

1368
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,280
They're going to trade again. Okay, pushing again. They are

1369
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:12,239
trading out of the first round. Sure, guys here at

1370
01:07:12,239 --> 01:07:15,360
twenty eight. Now if they go to thirty three, thirty four,

1371
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:19,079
thirty five, thirty six and then get some extra compensation.

1372
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,760
Nick Casserro likes doing that. He just loves to make

1373
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,360
trades on trade day, on draft day, he did. That's

1374
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:30,159
just just in his DNA. He likes to trade. He

1375
01:07:30,239 --> 01:07:33,519
likes to make moves. That makes sense. Yep, all right,

1376
01:07:33,599 --> 01:07:35,880
Hunter Brown. It would be easy to say quality start

1377
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:40,039
and going quality start plus. Explain that with it. Two

1378
01:07:40,119 --> 01:07:43,320
or fewer innings six or more. I'm sorry, two or

1379
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,360
fewer runs to a fewer innings would be bad. Six

1380
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:51,119
or more innings Quality start plus. It's a metric I

1381
01:07:51,239 --> 01:07:53,280
just made up. Wait a minute, you there's no such

1382
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:57,960
thing as quality start plus, no better than a quality start.

1383
01:07:58,199 --> 01:08:01,719
That's the dumbest thing I've heard since soft sweep. A

1384
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,320
soft sweep. Words, Yeah, a gentleman sweep. Gentleman sweep is

1385
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,159
in play. Lose the first one, then win the next few.

1386
01:08:09,639 --> 01:08:12,400
I've heard a gentleman sweep, folks. He just came up

1387
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:16,279
with a metric, quality start plus yes, Now, you're not

1388
01:08:16,279 --> 01:08:19,199
going to create like quality start plus plus, are you? Well,

1389
01:08:19,239 --> 01:08:21,920
we'll see. I mean lancem color Junior last night, what

1390
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:23,640
did he have a quality start plus or a quality

1391
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:24,479
Shart plus plus?

1392
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 2: All right, here is one for next year.

1393
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,239
Speaker 1: They're gonna take Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith off of

1394
01:08:35,239 --> 01:08:36,880
the NCAAA basketball coverage.

1395
01:08:41,159 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 2: That's probably not mc kenny.

1396
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:46,079
Speaker 1: Maybe Charles is gonna be there unless he doesn't want

1397
01:08:46,239 --> 01:08:51,760
the check. I think they're gonna have to overhaul that

1398
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:57,000
entire studio show because Nate Burlson was awful that the

1399
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,239
talking basketball was an embarrassment. I don't know how much

1400
01:09:00,239 --> 01:09:02,479
they care, as long as you know, the answer to

1401
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,399
that is they don't care. Yeah, because if you're doing

1402
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,439
a studio show and you are putting on the brightest

1403
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:13,680
basketball minds NBA Chuck can talk about. For the most part,

1404
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,319
he can't talk college basketball at all. Not that anybody

1405
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:20,039
particularly cares, but certainly CBS doesn't care because they're putting

1406
01:09:20,039 --> 01:09:23,000
them on there. But I just thought it really got

1407
01:09:23,039 --> 01:09:25,960
annihilated this past year. And Charles is gonna have some

1408
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,119
sort of I mean, he's gotta have some ego to go, man,

1409
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:29,359
I know, people.

1410
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,560
Speaker 2: No, I don't know squad about college basketball?

1411
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do they call it when it's like a

1412
01:09:33,159 --> 01:09:38,439
test audience and they get a a test audience whatever.

1413
01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:43,239
Whatever Charles has he does well? Oh like a TVQ rating?

1414
01:09:43,319 --> 01:09:44,199
Like how a Q score?

1415
01:09:44,319 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 2: Q score?

1416
01:09:45,039 --> 01:09:47,359
Speaker 1: People love Charles Barklay. He's got a very high Q score.

1417
01:09:47,399 --> 01:09:50,239
And I got news for your friends. Stephen A.

1418
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 2: Smith has a high Q score too.

1419
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: There wouldn't be a reason why they've been paying him

1420
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,560
twenty million dollars a year and having on all these

1421
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,199
shows if people didn't like generally speaking like them now again,

1422
01:09:58,239 --> 01:09:59,680
social media is the first one to go run to

1423
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:04,359
you much. She hates him, but people still watch him.

1424
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 2: I don't get it, but they do.

1425
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 1: I will say, m Michigan wins at all. I got

1426
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:21,279
Arizona winning at all. Okay, Jonathan, you want to get

1427
01:10:21,279 --> 01:10:24,560
in a national champion? Uk Baby? I see, I knew

1428
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,960
he's he loves the he loves the underdog. But Yukon's

1429
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:33,079
good like Dan Early. By the way, who does nobody

1430
01:10:34,119 --> 01:10:37,600
you said? Zona? Here's one for September of this year,

1431
01:10:38,119 --> 01:10:41,520
Week one, starting quarterback Cleveland Brown's Deshaun Watson.

1432
01:10:42,079 --> 01:10:46,600
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, you see what I'm trying to do folks.

1433
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: I'm putting gut feelings out there to get you guys invigorated. Yeah,

1434
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:56,560
I'm I mean, I'm inspired. You should be, so I'll

1435
01:10:56,600 --> 01:11:01,000
give you another one. Yes. Uh now ex Astro's home run,

1436
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,319
Christian Walker, well, he's getting close. I know all those

1437
01:11:06,359 --> 01:11:12,800
doubles he's been hitting. I know he's ready. Baby. Brian

1438
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,479
bray U's era at the end of the month, Oh,

1439
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:16,680
I got one more hold on?

1440
01:11:17,159 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 2: Oh, go ahead, north north of four. Yeah, it's good.

1441
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:21,960
By the end of the month, of course, and the

1442
01:11:22,039 --> 01:11:24,359
end of April April still north of four?

1443
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Probably, it's gonna take a while to whetle that down.

1444
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,840
Was it like twenty seven? I mean you can change

1445
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,399
in a heartbeat. All right, what's you are? The one?

1446
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 8: Uh?

1447
01:11:36,239 --> 01:11:38,520
Speaker 1: Jord On Alvarez over one hundred and thirty games this year.

1448
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,479
I'm feeling good after this first week. We only got

1449
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,760
one hundred and twenty six left to go. Let's go, baby,

1450
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,319
let's go. How do you feel about his left field

1451
01:11:49,359 --> 01:11:52,439
work in DH? Believe it, it's a good ballance, it's

1452
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,319
a good balance. Was it three of DH and two

1453
01:11:54,319 --> 01:11:57,039
and left? Yeah, that's great. Playing every day like it,

1454
01:11:57,359 --> 01:12:00,600
love it, and they go on the road. It's probably

1455
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,199
more dhing correct. Yeah, you gotta take advantage of the

1456
01:12:03,279 --> 01:12:04,359
at the home ballpark for sure.

1457
01:12:05,159 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 2: All right.

1458
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,279
Speaker 1: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety. If

1459
01:12:08,279 --> 01:12:10,640
you have any got feelings, don't be afraid, well we

1460
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,760
won't bite. Seven one three two one two five seven

1461
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,279
nine zero. Any sports predictions you want to get to,

1462
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,560
we will take them. Next as the Matt Thomas old

1463
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:23,000
Ross continues, Joe Aspata with this at twelve thirty today, Ross,

1464
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,119
what is today's edition of Believe It or Not? At

1465
01:12:25,119 --> 01:12:29,680
one fifty Lance mccolor junior. You could we could got

1466
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:33,119

about failed h WBC pitchers that play for the Red Sox.

Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you for taking my call. Fellers, Thank you,

1479
01:13:20,239 --> 01:13:24,479
Governor Thomas. Listen, I'll get to it. That guy that's

1480
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,720
working over there, Jonathan, he's got tremendous promise. I'm predicting

1481
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,479
that he's gonna take one of them high profile spots

1482
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,000
from one of those two cats in the morning, if

1483
01:13:34,039 --> 01:13:37,079
not both of them, they need to replace them. Let

1484
01:13:37,159 --> 01:13:40,880
Johnathan get them play in the morning and I'll get

1485
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:42,680
to it. I got the Knicks in a in a

1486
01:13:43,119 --> 01:13:47,279
in a in a dog fight, beating your rockets. I'm sorry,

1487
01:13:47,399 --> 01:13:49,720
I'm not It's not the popular vote on that, but

1488
01:13:50,159 --> 01:13:52,359
I just feel the Knicks, you know, gonna pull a

1489
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,560
rabbit out of a hat. And also I'm also predicting

1490
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,680
that the Astros are gonna take at least two out

1491
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,680
of three, if not sweet them that was over there

1492
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,439
in Boston. And then to make this other thing that

1493
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,359
I'm pretty strong on it, I think ours is really

1494
01:14:07,399 --> 01:14:09,680
going to have a breakout yere this year. He's gonna

1495
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:13,199
give Judge all the all the you know money, uh

1496
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,359
you know that's in the running and everything for it.

1497
01:14:15,399 --> 01:14:17,960
And also I still got Connecticut, even though a lot

1498
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,520
of people don't believe it. I think Connecticut is going

1499
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,039
to play Arizona and it's gonna be a dogfight, but

1500
01:14:23,159 --> 01:14:25,600
I think Connecticut can pull it off. Thank you for

1501
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:26,520
taking my call.

1502
01:14:26,399 --> 01:14:45,520

1510
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,159
appreciate him way more than Clinton. He took a gay

1511
01:15:08,239 --> 01:15:10,479
way more. He took a game from me last Friday.

1512
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,880
He's been willing to step up. Team player. Yes, I

1513

Speaker 6: Form you?

1518
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:30,199
Speaker 1: Uh no, But Rockets are one and a half. I

1519
01:15:30,199 --> 01:15:31,640
was surprised to see there one and a half point

1520
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:37,479
dogs to the Knicks. Hmm, Nicks are good. How are

1521
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,000
you going to stop Clint cappella. You know, I'm just

1522
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:44,760
doing my staff ordering. Fourteen rebounds, Yeah, against unstoppable clin Capella.

1523
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:47,079
Is that what you're going with? How could they be

1524
01:15:47,199 --> 01:15:49,279
underdogs when the Rockets have click Capella?

1525
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 2: Hey, fourteen rebounds, Clint, let's go.

1526
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: I like Clint. He's got a lot of pep in

1527
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,439
his step. Big fan by the way, Aaron, nothing, you

1528
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,039
all care about this, but it's for one second. So

1529
01:16:00,079 --> 01:16:03,359
on an NBA statue, you get plus a plus minus.

1530
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,960
It's one very small metric. It's probably more time deceiving

1531
01:16:07,039 --> 01:16:09,039
more than that. But when you're on the floor and

1532
01:16:09,079 --> 01:16:11,680
your team scores points, you get plus. If you give

1533
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,000
up points, you are you did get deducted ducky. Yeah,

1534
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,800
it's better in like hockey with goals and stuff like that.

1535
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,359
So let's go through some of the numbers. Jabari was

1536
01:16:20,399 --> 01:16:23,319
a plus sixteen, Kevin Durant was a plus one. Apper

1537
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:27,399
was a plus twenty six. Aman Thompson a plus thirty two,

1538
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,079
and that's in thirty five minutes to play, so it

1539
01:16:29,159 --> 01:16:31,199
was on the court a lot. Reed chepperd was a

1540
01:16:31,199 --> 01:16:35,239
minus ten. Aaron Holliday played twenty five minutes against the

1541
01:16:35,279 --> 01:16:40,399
Pels on Sunday, he was a plus forty one. Aaron

1542
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,079
freaking Holiday, let's go Jay. Sean Tait was a plus

1543
01:16:44,159 --> 01:16:48,439
twenty seven and thirteen minutes. That's pretty damn good. Beat

1544
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:51,720
that Pelican ass. So so as you did take that Pelicans

1545
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:56,359
pells Taris and by the way, back to back fifteen

1546
01:16:56,399 --> 01:17:01,399
point games. I'm buying some and Tari how'd that stockh Okay,

1547
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:03,760
it was very low. I bet it was. Get down

1548
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:07,199
the good value. Now, it's just not the same Roger

1549
01:17:07,239 --> 01:17:09,319
they called earlier, is it is a different Roger, hopeful thing.

1550
01:17:09,319 --> 01:17:11,359
We can't take two calls in the same show. Yeah,

1551
01:17:12,199 --> 01:17:15,479
he pre prize hordes them there you there, you go, Roger.

1552
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:17,159
We let you prize horder on the end. We can't

1553
01:17:17,199 --> 01:17:20,199

1554
01:17:20,399 --> 01:17:22,520
We appreciate you. That's right, we just got We've got

1556
01:17:25,039 --> 01:17:27,680
the support. Thank you Roger very much. Seven one three

1557
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:30,640
two one two five seven And that will include gut

1558
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:38,039
fillings for today. But yeah, okay, one may ask as

1559
01:17:38,079 --> 01:17:39,640
I mean, I'm already I'm already out of my gut.

1560
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:43,680
Matter of fact, let me go to uh, Anthony Edwards. Anthony, Uh,

1561
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:45,960
do you have tame of gut feelings? Or did you

1562
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:47,640
miss the segment earlier? Why did you miss it? By

1563
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:54,039
the way, just curious asking for a friend. Hello, and

1564
01:17:54,039 --> 01:17:55,760
we're gonna get to Anthony. Just give him a second,

1565
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,680
all right, we need one of those. Maybe Anthony's a

1566
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,560
little late. In the old days, we'd.

1567
01:18:01,359 --> 01:18:03,560
Speaker 2: Have a little button the old button bar that had

1568
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:05,000
all those liners for us.

1569
01:18:05,399 --> 01:18:08,319
Speaker 1: Well, it sounded like a leaf blower, okay, And I

1570
01:18:08,359 --> 01:18:13,319
think we put it out to retirement. I was taking it,

1571
01:18:15,399 --> 01:18:20,720
but I think Matt just wants that drop. Think I

1572
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:27,640
just snorted that on the air, taking a bleep. You

1573
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,680
really love that. Could you imagine telling your boss that, hey,

1574
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:33,520
what happened? What happened? You missed the first five minutes

1575
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:40,880
that meeting. I was taking it. Do no other professionals

1576
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:46,399
that to happen? A man probably does. Nature calls you could,

1577
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,239
but he could have said I was in the bathroom

1578
01:18:50,359 --> 01:18:52,479
and we would have been able to interpret it properly.

1579
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 2: He just let it out right there. He just there's

1580
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:59,319
no room for interpretation on that.

1581
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:04,319
Speaker 1: Saint Edward, for you, he's a personality, He's a says

1582
01:19:04,359 --> 01:19:06,159
he doesn't want to be face of the league, which

1583
01:19:06,199 --> 01:19:08,880
whatever that means, such a stupid phrase. No, I think

1584
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:10,920
I understand what it means. I understand what it means.

1585
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,079
But I think people it's like, first take every every week,

1586
01:19:14,239 --> 01:19:16,640
who's the face of the league. Who's the face of

1587
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:18,640
this league? Who's the face of that league? It does

1588
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,720
it matter? Let's just enjoy these players and we don't

1589
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,199
have to. When you say that means who you put

1590
01:19:24,239 --> 01:19:26,039
on the cover of a video game, that's all. It means.

1591
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,119
Lebron James. Well, Lebron James is the face of the

1592
01:19:31,159 --> 01:19:33,760
league for fifteen years at least. So I mean, like,

1593
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,000
who's the face of the league. Now you'll get my

1594
01:19:36,039 --> 01:19:41,199
answer next victim Wimbinam. Don't say that.

1595
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:42,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to say it.

1596
01:19:45,319 --> 01:19:47,640
Speaker 1: Don't say that, all right, So I say I'm gonna

1597
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,199
take out the phrase, must the face of the league?

1598
01:19:50,199 --> 01:19:51,279
Speaker 2: Who's the must seed player in.

1599
01:19:51,199 --> 01:19:55,640
Speaker 1: The league right now? Yeah? People, I mean, look, Anthony

1600
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:57,479
Edwards is awesome, but people don't pay to go see

1601
01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:00,039
Anthony Edwards. They won nine in a row. Say I

1602
01:20:00,039 --> 01:20:01,199
don't even go they don't even go to see If

1603
01:20:01,319 --> 01:20:03,720
they don't even go see nicolae Okicic the Spurs could

1604
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,720
win like sixty five games.

1605
01:20:06,039 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I'm very well aware of that. Here

1606
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:16,399
that I'm playing, people want to go see whimby play.

1607
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: Now. We hope that he is much like other seven

1608
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,840
foot guys north that have injury issues. Not that you're

1609
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,640
praying for injury issues, but it's there is a tremendous

1610
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,119
history of that in the NBA. Okay, they can only

1611
01:20:28,159 --> 01:20:33,680
win sixty four games, but they're gonna win sixty. Rockets

1612
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,239
have done that how much in their history once or twice?

1613
01:20:37,359 --> 01:20:40,079
I don't want to talk about. It makes me sad.

1614
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,239
In the history San Antonio Spurs are gonna be not

1615
01:20:43,279 --> 01:20:44,920
only they're gonna win six, they're gonna be the number

1616
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:46,920
two seed. And I said, I think they're gonna beat

1617
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:51,039
the thunder twenty eighteen they won sixty five. I know

1618
01:20:51,079 --> 01:20:53,279
that for sure. They had a sing And was it

1619
01:20:53,359 --> 01:20:58,359
ninety four a sixty one team? No, ninety four, fifteen

1620
01:20:58,319 --> 01:21:00,239
to twenty four. I want to say, do hoem me too. Wow,

1621
01:21:00,239 --> 01:21:02,039
don't know, fifty eight and twenty four, You've nailed it.

1622
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1623
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:02,640
Speaker 22: So.

1624
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:07,239
Speaker 1: In the history of the Rockets French it was it

1625
01:21:07,319 --> 01:21:10,760
was one of James's teams. Right, Yeah, they won sixty

1626
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:13,199
five and eighteen. Like I said, they've done it once

1627
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,000
in fifty nine seasons, and the Spurs are about to

1628
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:30,600
win sixteen regular season games. Are overrated? Okay, I'm ready

1629
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:36,000
for a break. I'm ready to hear some share. Oh great,

1630
01:21:36,199 --> 01:21:37,880
you know what. This is my fault, so I can't

1631
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:41,000
even complain. It's not your fault. It's your ex it's

1632
01:21:41,039 --> 01:21:46,159
your excellent thought. Last second, Hey, what can we add

1633
01:21:46,199 --> 01:21:48,520
to make production value the show? Yeah?

1634
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 2: And it's paid off because the people love it so far.

1635
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: On the show today, I don't think a single person

1636
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:54,920
has mentioned they love it. Well.

1637
01:21:55,079 --> 01:21:57,279
Speaker 2: I had two people tweet me about it, so that

1638
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,119
believe me does for me?

1639
01:22:00,039 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven

Speaker 3: Ninety's The Matt Thomas Show with Ross the Houston Astros

1646
01:22:30,119 --> 01:22:34,880
explode for eight runs more than enough support. That's with

1647
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,399
Butlers Junior, who was billion as the Astros to beat

1648
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:41,560
the Red Sox seat to one win their third Street Beat.

1649
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:49,399
Speaker 2: When the Astros put up a new banner for the

1650
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:53,239
American League West Championship, an American League pennant, and then

1651
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:55,079
ultimately another World Series flag.

1652
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,159
Speaker 1: Wow, this song needs to be put out there. This

1653
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,960
is the theme song for two tho twenty six. If

1654
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:08,039
you can turn back time, Christian Basquez is back, turning

1655
01:23:08,079 --> 01:23:18,600
back times. True mccolors. Mccolors a tuve correa. Yes, Alan

1656
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,520
Ashby he's not there. Oh, he's not there.

1657
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 2: Kevin Bass is not out there, says our Sadanio.

1658
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:28,199
Speaker 1: There's a bigio in the system. Oh, you brought a

1659
01:23:28,199 --> 01:23:34,239
bigio back, turning back time. That was beautiful last night.

1660
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:40,880
This is awesome. Forty thousand people at Jonathan Chairman back there.

1661
01:23:41,319 --> 01:23:42,159
Speaker 2: He'd loved his song.

1662
01:23:42,239 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 1: Did you think I was lying? Did I say it?

1663
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:44,159
I'd like Share?

1664
01:23:45,199 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 22: Doesn't like sharing?

1665
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 1: May this is fine? Believe is offensive? That song bleeds

1666
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:54,479
my ears. That's what you play. If you're trying to

1667
01:23:55,279 --> 01:23:57,840
interrogate terrorists and try to get them to break, you

1668
01:23:57,960 --> 01:23:59,920
put Share Believe on a loop. They will break within

1669
01:24:00,159 --> 01:24:00,840
six minutes.

1670
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 2: No, that's not the song.

1671
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,079
Speaker 1: You've got to ignowledge great in this when you hear it. Okay,

1672
01:24:05,199 --> 01:24:09,880
this is fine. I mean some of the stuff with

1673
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,039
Bono before he ran into that tree is pretty good.

1674
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:16,680
Stop what that is? That is as rude as it's Bono,

1675
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:21,600
not Bono number two. Bringing up the tree is wrong.

1676
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:23,800
No wonder people hate you?

1677
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:24,199
Speaker 11: Do you know?

1678
01:24:24,279 --> 01:24:27,119
Speaker 1: I'm scared to ski because of Sonny Bono? I would hope.

1679
01:24:27,159 --> 01:24:28,079
Speaker 19: So what happened?

1680
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:32,239
Speaker 2: He was skiing and uh colode with a tree and died.

1681
01:24:33,359 --> 01:24:36,520
Ooh yeah, I got one for you.

1682
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: One better.

1683
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 2: I don't want to go on on a horse because

1684
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:40,359
of Christopher Ree breaking his neck and dye.

1685
01:24:42,199 --> 01:24:43,319
Speaker 1: You've ridden a horse though before?

1686
01:24:43,359 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 14: Right?

1687
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:48,039
Speaker 1: Ever in your life? Maybe as a kid, maybe as

1688
01:24:48,079 --> 01:24:49,640
a young but I was so portly. I don't think

1689
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:51,560
he would have put a fact guy on a horse,

1690
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:56,760
I fact killing a horse, I don't think so. Sorry,

1691
01:24:57,279 --> 01:24:59,720
I'm trying not to put that last. Try to be.

1692
01:25:03,159 --> 01:25:06,159
Speaker 2: Jonathan. Go look at Share nineteen seventy eight and tell

1693
01:25:06,199 --> 01:25:07,159
me you don't have feelings.

1694
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: All right? No, I saw her. I think it was

1695
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,720
last year, the Victoria's Secret thing. She performed with her

1696
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:16,920
a little like you know, she's old, but Hey, I know,

1697
01:25:18,079 --> 01:25:20,199
if you're gonna be with somebody's seventy plus, it's gonna

1698
01:25:20,199 --> 01:25:20,720
be sure.

1699
01:25:22,319 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 2: Old a share.

1700
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: She's seventy nine, Okaya, believe.

1701
01:25:26,159 --> 01:25:26,399
Speaker 13: It or not.

1702
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 2: Share, Believe it or not.

1703
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's a lot of work done, but she looks good.

1704
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,479
Type of work done. She is eighty five percent plastic.

1705
01:25:34,079 --> 01:25:38,680
It doesn't matter. She's funny. I guess she can sing,

1706
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,319
she can act. I guess it's just and I don't

1707
01:25:41,319 --> 01:25:44,399
get it, but I'm wishing her the best. All right,

1708
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:46,640
let's get to what year she has left. All right,

1709
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,359
Charlie wants to talk about the Astis, but first let

1710
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:52,720
Astros both. Let's first get to the news at noon. Yes,

1711
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:57,920
mathview the news at noon. Has a number of different

1712
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,720
things to talk about, but we'll lead with the Astros

1713
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:04,960
turning back time at dyk In Park last night. I mean,

1714
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:08,399
how does this sound for around two thousand and I

1715
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:15,039
don't know, nineteen ish. Lance mccullor's junior dazzled, jose L

1716
01:26:15,119 --> 01:26:19,520
Tuve hit two home runs, Jordon Alvarez had a home run.

1717
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:24,039
The Astros offense exploded for eight runs, and they beat

1718
01:26:24,159 --> 01:26:26,840
the Boston Red Sox eight to one to improve to

1719
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:34,119
three and two on the season. Lance mccullor's junior has

1720
01:26:34,199 --> 01:26:38,279
been a long road for him. Injuries after injuries, and

1721
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:40,560
of course the past and all those things.

1722
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:44,319
Speaker 2: He says he's not trying to think about what happened

1723
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:45,319
in the past.

1724
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,159
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've just been trying to not put too much

1725
01:26:49,159 --> 01:26:52,239
stock into the past or the future, honestly, just try

1726
01:26:52,239 --> 01:26:54,880
to be president and just tried to go out there

1727
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:58,439
and compete really honestly. Yeah, I think last year was

1728
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,840
obviously tough, and I think I just carried the weight

1729
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:05,039
like every start, you know, And so this year I've

1730
01:27:05,119 --> 01:27:10,319
just been just really focused on just trying to not

1731
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:13,720
worry about the past of the future and just enjoy

1732
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,119
the moment and go out there and compete as hard

1733
01:27:16,119 --> 01:27:16,520
as I can.

1734
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:21,079
Speaker 1: Staying in the present moment. Lance mccullor's junior seven innings,

1735
01:27:21,159 --> 01:27:28,119
pitched one earned run, four hits, one walk, nine strikeouts.

1736
01:27:29,279 --> 01:27:30,840
The dude was dealing. That's got to be one of

1737
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:33,880
the literally most efficient starts ever in his career. He

1738
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:38,119
would take that in the prime. Yeah, mcculors. Yeah, got

1739
01:27:38,159 --> 01:27:39,520
a lot of whiffs, got a lot of swing and

1740
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:41,960
miss and didn't walk a lot of guys and Astros

1741
01:27:43,119 --> 01:27:46,199
three and two. Matt new hitting coaches, how were feeling.

1742
01:27:46,359 --> 01:27:48,680
That's six hundred ball. Astros plays six hundred ball the

1743
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:50,600
rest of the year. They will win and dominate the

1744
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:54,319
americanly West. There, I said it, Okay, Well, I don't

1745
01:27:54,359 --> 01:27:57,720
know if that's going to happen, but let's move on.

1746
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:01,000
Let's go to the New York Knicks in town against

1747
01:28:01,079 --> 01:28:05,239
your Houston Rockets as they settle in for a three

1748
01:28:05,399 --> 01:28:07,720
game home stand, which means Matt Thomas settles in for

1749
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:08,720
a three gun home stand.

1750
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:09,319
Speaker 2: So that's good.

1751
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: So you have the Knicks to night, then tomorrow on

1752
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,319

1753
01:28:15,359 --> 01:28:18,720
they will be taking on the Milwaukee Bucks. Friday, they

1754
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:22,119
take on the Utah Yeazz on the road for a

1755
01:28:22,159 --> 01:28:24,239
couple in Golden State and Phoenix, and then they finish

1756
01:28:24,319 --> 01:28:31,079

01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,239

1770
01:29:05,039 --> 01:29:10,079
brought this up yet. Tiger Woods, of course, as you know,

1771
01:29:10,359 --> 01:29:15,279
over the weekend, had a crash, a GUI crash, as

1772
01:29:15,319 --> 01:29:18,119
he was arrested on Friday suspicion of misdemeanor GUI with

1773
01:29:18,199 --> 01:29:21,199
property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test.

1774
01:29:22,359 --> 01:29:25,760
He says he was looking down at his cell phone

1775
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:29,760
and changing the radio station in his SUV, which caused

1776
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:31,680
him not to see a truck slowing down before his

1777
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:38,000
rollover crash last week on Jupiter Island, Florida. I do

1778
01:29:38,239 --> 01:29:43,479
not believe him, Martin County Sheriff's Deputy Tatiana Elevenar wrote

1779
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,399
in an arrest Affidavid the Woods was quote sweating profusely

1780
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:50,359
and his movement was quote lethargic and slow while she

1781
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:55,520
interviewed the fifty year old Tiger Woods.

1782
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, he might have been changing a radio station look

1783
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,079
at his phone, but he was also probably high as

1784
01:29:59,079 --> 01:29:59,399
a kite.

1785
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 1: Seven back surgeries, twenty operations on his right leg, which

1786
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:06,560
he is severely injured in a car wreck of course

1787
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:10,279
outside Los Angeles in February of twenty twenty one.

1788
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:16,039
Speaker 2: He never should drive again.

1789
01:30:16,199 --> 01:30:18,600
Speaker 1: If I and I don't think Tiger takes advice from anybody,

1790
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:20,560
because I think Tiger thinks he's better than everybody else.

1791
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:25,199
But police, Tiger, never drive again. You are worth a

1792
01:30:25,319 --> 01:30:27,920
billion dollars. If you have to have some d ature house,

1793
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:30,119
sleep in a spare bedroom. Just if you want to

1794
01:30:30,119 --> 01:30:33,560
go get a little rock orel at one three in

1795
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:37,119
the morning, have him drive you. It'll be okay. Stop driving,

1796
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,119
you're not good at it. Well, he says he doesn't

1797
01:30:40,159 --> 01:30:43,880
want a driver because he doesn't want people in his

1798
01:30:44,039 --> 01:30:44,960
personal business.

1799
01:30:45,279 --> 01:30:47,279
Speaker 2: Too bad, you're about to go to jail.

1800
01:30:49,399 --> 01:30:51,720
Speaker 1: Did you see that the Yankees beat the Mariner or sorry,

1801
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:53,600
loss to the Mariners two to one on Monday night?

1802
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 2: Hate to hear that. How did Aaron Judge do well?

1803
01:30:55,840 --> 01:30:58,039
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, hey, how Aaron Boone did Aaron

1804
01:30:58,079 --> 01:31:01,319
Judge ops under eight hundred right now? I mean, he's

1805
01:31:01,399 --> 01:31:02,840
one of the best hitters on the planet. I think

1806
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:05,920
he'll be fine. Luis Castillo tossing six scoreless innings. But

1807
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:10,239
what Aaron Boone was upset about? A perfect five for five?

1808
01:31:10,319 --> 01:31:15,880
The Yankees hitters had to go on abs challenges, Boone.

1809
01:31:16,079 --> 01:31:17,720
Really good job by the guys when you had that

1810
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:19,359
kind of success rate. It's not going to be like

1811
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:22,399
that every night. But I thought everyone was obviously warranted

1812
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:23,840
in a couple of key spots to give us a

1813
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:25,880
chance to build an inning. We weren't able to build

1814
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:27,680
much offensively last night.

1815
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:38,880
Speaker 2: It's working good. I'm glad it is Gateway drug in moderation.

1816
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:43,640
Speaker 1: Kate Weight drunk. All right, let's go to the phones.

1817
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:46,319
Next twelve thirteen, Joe a spot at bottom of the hour.

1818
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:52,199
Right here on Sports Talk seven ninety A couple of

1819
01:31:52,319 --> 01:31:54,760
coruiter updates for you, presented to you by our friends

1820
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,399
of the Drank Chiropractice. They are the official chiropractor of

1821
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:02,039
University Houston Athletics. Chris Sanak still weighing his decision on

1822
01:32:02,079 --> 01:32:05,279
whether or not he wants to return to the Cougars.

1823
01:32:05,359 --> 01:32:07,640
Next year or declare for the NBA Draft that according

1824
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:11,399
to his father, he should make its decision within the

1825
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:14,600
next two weeks or so. It feels like from what

1826
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:17,560
I understand, he's probably back half of the first round

1827
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:19,199
if he so chooses. But that you know, he could

1828
01:32:19,239 --> 01:32:24,439
also go declare, go to the combine and pull back and.

1829
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 2: Say, hey, I'll go back to play U of H

1830
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,079
for one more Yeah, I just can't hire an Asian, right, Yeah,

1831
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:30,119

Speaker 1: He delay. I will say more than anything else, Kelvin

1833
01:32:36,199 --> 01:32:38,239
Samson will not be going into Basketball Hall of Fame

1834

this year.

1835
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:40,319
Speaker 2: He did not receive enough votes.

1836
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:42,359
Speaker 1: It sucks.

1837
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 2: He deserves it. Eight hundred wins, forty a coaching career,

1838
01:32:47,039 --> 01:32:52,319
multiple final fours, took what Washington State, Oklahoma, Indiana, and

1839
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:56,640
Houston all the tournaments. I mean, pretty good career and

1840
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:58,359
he'll get in. It's just gonna have to wait a while.

1841
01:32:58,920 --> 01:32:59,520
Speaker 1: Very good career.

1855
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,760
maybe take over the morning show at some point. I

1856
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:41,640
do like Dan Matthews in the morning.

1857
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 13: But I think if.

1858
01:33:44,159 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 18: We were playing a drinking game and every time he

1859
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:50,439
said also too, we'd probably have a bit much to drink.

1860
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:51,640
Speaker 7: Uh.

1861
01:33:52,359 --> 01:33:55,520

Speaker 2: I know we're all said, thank you, Charlie for the

1883
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:58,159
phone call. I actually was allowed to sleep in the

1884
01:34:58,199 --> 01:34:59,479
house last night. I was very pleased.

1885
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:03,760
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, she used to Duke choking at this point, right, ooh,

1886
01:35:05,239 --> 01:35:06,640
back to back years. Why didn't you send her a

1887
01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:10,000
voice text I'm good, No, I got and I'm been

1888
01:35:10,039 --> 01:35:13,079
cussed out by your wife enough over the years. By

1889
01:35:13,159 --> 01:35:15,319
the way, most four hit games without ever hitting a

1890
01:35:15,359 --> 01:35:18,319
five hit game getting a five hit game in Major

1891
01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:19,760
League history? Is it Jose?

1892
01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:21,119
Speaker 2: Don't say who it is.

1893
01:35:21,119 --> 01:35:24,159
Speaker 1: I want to try to guess it's Jose second with

1894
01:35:24,279 --> 01:35:25,760
forty one A right, Can I have a hint on

1895
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:28,119
who was first? You're the one that wanted to guests.

1896
01:35:28,239 --> 01:35:31,439
You're already asking for a hint. It's a hall of famer,

1897
01:35:31,880 --> 01:35:34,000
and it's a hall of famer that hadn't played I

1898
01:35:34,039 --> 01:35:35,319
don't know over fifty years.

1899
01:35:36,159 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we're talking about a guy that played

1900
01:35:38,159 --> 01:35:39,560
the end of his career in the seventies.

1901
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 1: When you're when you're listing one of the greatest players

1902
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:46,199
of all time, he will come up probably within the

1903
01:35:46,319 --> 01:35:47,640
first tennish.

1904
01:35:48,399 --> 01:35:51,199
Speaker 2: Okay, So a guy that retired in the seventies, no

1905
01:35:51,359 --> 01:35:51,960
way before that.

1906
01:35:52,239 --> 01:35:55,359
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, he hasn't played in the last I mean,

1907
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:58,159
you know you're making me do math Mantle eight years,

1908
01:35:58,359 --> 01:36:01,600
Mickey Mantle. Luke Garrett, oh man, he.

1909
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:03,560
Speaker 2: Hadn't played at least fifty year? How about it didn't

1910
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:05,000
play at least ninety years or whatever.

1911
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:10,760
Speaker 1: I wasn't exactly sure how long he held on he

1912
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:13,079
played the thirty nine Do you think Luke Garry played

1913
01:36:13,119 --> 01:36:15,159
on nineteen seventy one? Nineteen thirty nine? No, I didn't

1914
01:36:15,159 --> 01:36:18,119
think he he was on the last Senators team. Well,

1915
01:36:18,159 --> 01:36:19,880
I was gonna say seventy years. So I just walked

1916
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:20,199
it back.

1917
01:36:20,279 --> 01:36:20,640
Speaker 8: I got you.

1918
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:23,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to Robert on seven ninety Robert, good afternoon.

1919
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:29,079
Speaker 13: Hey guys, last night's game was Man, that was one

1920
01:36:29,079 --> 01:36:31,000
of the best games I've seen in a while at home.

1921
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,279
You know, last year we could win home, and I

1922
01:36:34,399 --> 01:36:37,439
really am glad to see them hit. The reason I

1923
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:38,199
called was the.

1924
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 20: Questions.

1925
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:44,119
Speaker 13: I mean, when you could question a call the is

1926
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,319
is it the pictures, I mean the batters. Is it

1927
01:36:47,399 --> 01:36:49,680
separate from a question on a call like that tag

1928
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:52,159
out or is it all to say no, no, no.

1929
01:36:52,319 --> 01:36:56,520
Speaker 1: This is ABS involves the three people, the pitcher, the catcher,

1930
01:36:56,720 --> 01:36:58,800
and the hitter, and it's directly about balls and strikes

1931
01:36:58,880 --> 01:36:59,359
nothing else.

1932
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:01,079
Speaker 2: Those are separate from the game challenges.

1933
01:37:02,319 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 13: Oh okay, okay. And then I was also thinking, since

1934
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:09,920
they're doing that the ABS, it might take a lot

1935
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:12,640
of stress off of pictures. You know how they get

1936
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:16,840
frustrated when they're not getting calls to thinking that, Well,

1937
01:37:17,079 --> 01:37:19,119
you know you have the right to question a call

1938
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:21,359
and you know so you might as well get over

1939
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,319
either the catch is going to question it or or not,

1940
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:29,199
So no use getting all frustrated over the umpire, you know.

1941
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:32,840
So I'm thinking it might take away a lot of stress.

1942
01:37:33,199 --> 01:37:34,319
I don't know, how do you feel about that?

1943
01:37:35,479 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 1: Well, if you run, if you run out of challenge,

1944
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:39,600
is the stress level pipes up again? Because if you

1945
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:40,880
want to be able to challenge a call and you

1946
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:44,439
run out, you're done. But yeah, I would say there's

1947
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:46,079
no need to really get aggravated.

1948
01:37:46,199 --> 01:37:46,319
Speaker 20: Now.

1949
01:37:46,359 --> 01:37:48,119
Speaker 1: The only time you'd biny to get aggravated is if

1950
01:37:49,399 --> 01:37:52,159
your manager says, hey, we have one challenge left. We're

1951
01:37:52,199 --> 01:37:55,079
not using until later in the game. But if you

1952
01:37:55,159 --> 01:37:57,359
start out on a good starting, you're challenging, and you

1953
01:37:57,479 --> 01:37:58,880
continue to get it right, you still have the two

1954
01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:01,680
challenges left. Yeah, it probably makes it a stress free experience.

1955
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:03,760
Oh wow, Baseball Savant has a page. I'm going to

1956
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:06,760
be checking this all the time and it is all

1957
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:10,520
the all the season data so far. Fifty five percent overturns.

1958
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,159
As I said before, that's a good number. I think

1959
01:38:16,199 --> 01:38:17,760
if you gets if you get north of sixty, then

1960
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:19,800
it's going to really brew some If on fire, you

1961
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:24,600
go no, because again, and I watched a handful of games,

1962
01:38:24,760 --> 01:38:26,359
we have a lot wored a lot longer and ago.

1963
01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:31,720
But ROSSI the average missed pitch, we're talking about wars

1964
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:34,279
one inch two inches. We're not talking about a foot

1965
01:38:34,319 --> 01:38:36,399
out of fraction of inch, fraction of in inch. Yeah,

1966
01:38:37,199 --> 01:38:41,399
we're talking about Mike microscope. And again, ninety five milli

1967
01:38:41,520 --> 01:38:46,079
hour fastball come in your way. Yeah, let the machine

1968
01:38:46,119 --> 01:38:46,359
get it.

1969
01:38:47,119 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 2: Maybe, so fifty eight percent overturned I'm sorry.

1970
01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:55,720
Speaker 1: Fifty percent from batters, fifty eight percent from it's just

1971
01:38:55,840 --> 01:38:59,159
his fielders. Well, I want to catchers numbers, Oh, here

1972
01:38:59,199 --> 01:39:04,119
we go, fifty nine percent catchers pictures are two for six,

1973
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:07,920
So the pictures aren't doing don't do it. I wouldn't

1974
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:09,960
let a picture do it. I think Joe Spotted told

1975
01:39:10,039 --> 01:39:13,399
us that two months ago. Yeah, emotional makes sense. Speaking

1976
01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:15,239
to Joe. He'll join us next year on Sports Talk

1977
01:39:15,279 --> 01:39:17,359

with us, we are gonna look forward to talking for

1981
01:39:33,359 --> 01:39:37,079
the next twenty six weeks. I like it to be

1982
01:39:37,159 --> 01:39:39,199
thirty two weeks or so with a manager of the

1983
01:39:39,279 --> 01:39:42,119
Houston Astros, Joe Spot at twelve thirty tuesdays here on

1984
01:39:42,239 --> 01:39:45,399
seven nice skip. It's Madden Ross, happy season opener, happy

1985
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:46,279
three game winning streak.

1986
01:39:46,279 --> 01:39:46,880
Speaker 2: How are your friend?

1987
01:39:48,239 --> 01:39:49,960
Speaker 20: I'm doing well man, How are you guys doing?

1988
01:39:50,159 --> 01:39:53,600
Speaker 1: No no complaints? Hey, a little old school. Last night

1989
01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:56,840
you got uh al tuove with a couple of home runs.

1990
01:39:57,159 --> 01:39:59,479
Lance gave you a seven. I mean.

1991
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:04,039
Speaker 2: It's like it's like twenty nineteen all over again.

1992
01:40:05,159 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 20: Yeah, Korea, I'm making those plays that sure, let's not

1993
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:10,399
take away from that bomb that you're done. Hid glad

1994
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:12,479
that this one did not hate the roof almost you know,

1995
01:40:12,720 --> 01:40:14,520
he almost looked like it was going to hate the roof.

1996
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:19,560
And getting also contribution from some of the young players man,

1997
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:24,000
you know, Bryce Matthews, just just everyone putting, putting a

1998
01:40:24,039 --> 01:40:26,000
little bit in there, just to contribute and help us

1999
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,159
win some games with really happy the way we are

2000
01:40:29,279 --> 01:40:32,520
we're playing right now, Lance the Colors. My goodness, how

2001
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:35,560
phenomenal he was last night, really pick us up. We

2002
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:38,439
really needed an outing from him like that, and he delivered.

2003
01:40:38,720 --> 01:40:40,600
Speaker 1: You know, we were down in West Palm with you

2004
01:40:40,680 --> 01:40:44,000
in February. He was very reflective about his season ahead,

2005
01:40:44,279 --> 01:40:46,560
his fit as past, and his future.

2006
01:40:47,119 --> 01:40:48,760
Speaker 2: What has it been like watching.

2007
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 1: Him in that month of spring training gaining the confidence

2008
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:54,199
for you to put him in that opening starting rotation.

2009
01:40:56,399 --> 01:40:59,359
Speaker 20: Uh, you know what I think, Lenz all the stands

2010
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:03,439
the pitcher he is today right for him to have success,

2011
01:41:04,199 --> 01:41:09,920
he needs to be the guy that controls the game

2012
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:11,880
from the very first pitch. And how you do that

2013
01:41:12,039 --> 01:41:16,600
is attacking the strike zone. It's when Lance's attackes out

2014
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:20,640
the zone like he did yesterday. He's able to command

2015
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:22,840
the a bat, He's able to control the game. I

2016
01:41:23,159 --> 01:41:27,960
uh fast both for strikes, really good, change up the

2017
01:41:28,079 --> 01:41:31,960
sweeper effective because everything was looking the same right, everything

2018
01:41:32,039 --> 01:41:35,359
was coming out from the same lane, executing pitches, heading

2019
01:41:35,439 --> 01:41:37,880
the count ef fishing from the very get go. I

2020
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:40,760
think he knows that that's the picture he needs to

2021
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:44,119
be to be successful, and he's not running away from it.

2022
01:41:45,239 --> 01:41:45,279
Speaker 6: No.

2023
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:48,279
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I really Roofer Lance is obviously

2024
01:41:48,319 --> 01:41:50,279
because he's been here for so long and part of

2025
01:41:50,319 --> 01:41:53,800
these championship runs. But just to me also seems like

2026
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,560
such a great dude and teammate. So if you could

2027
01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:01,079
just expand on that and just give us your thoughts

2028
01:42:01,119 --> 01:42:02,800
on what type of person he is.

2029
01:42:04,199 --> 01:42:06,319
Speaker 20: Yes, and you know, we all we're all rooting for

2030
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:09,880
him because what he what he's done for this organizations,

2031
01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,600
what he's done in our community, and what he means

2032
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:16,600
to to the club. Now, you know, great teammate, great

2033
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:21,319
father man of faith. This guy's packed some big games

2034
01:42:21,359 --> 01:42:24,239
for us. I've been here for nine seasons right now.

2035
01:42:24,319 --> 01:42:27,159
This guy has been in the biggest games uh this

2036
01:42:27,399 --> 01:42:30,359
organization has had since I been here. And also I've

2037
01:42:30,359 --> 01:42:31,760
seen it from the other side when I was with

2038
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:36,239
the Yankees, how he dominated in the LCS. So he's

2039
01:42:36,279 --> 01:42:40,239
still in there. That guy's still there and just getting

2040
01:42:40,319 --> 01:42:44,079
that out of them. Uh, because he's fully healthy and

2041
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:48,199
he's frame of mind is such. It's a really good

2042
01:42:48,239 --> 01:42:50,880
place that I think he's going to help was winning

2043
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:53,680
now is you know, building from this hour thing right,

2044
01:42:54,079 --> 01:42:57,000
not try to do anything different, right and get ready

2045
01:42:57,079 --> 01:43:00,720
for his next start and build from this and because

2046
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:01,600
the stuff is there.

2047
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: Astro's manager Joe spotted us here on Sports Talk seven nine.

2048
01:43:06,039 --> 01:43:08,520
Let's go to the other holdover from the twenty seventeen

2049
01:43:09,239 --> 01:43:11,800
championship team, Jose Al two. A couple of home runs.

2050
01:43:12,239 --> 01:43:14,960
I mean, obviously we've talked about a lot about him

2051
01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:17,319
over the years, but just at the play to approach,

2052
01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:20,199
seems like some more patients from him. How much of

2053
01:43:20,319 --> 01:43:22,520
is it is it the same old Josel tuove and

2054
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:24,680
how much of is it kind of a new slant

2055
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:25,119
on things?

2056
01:43:26,399 --> 01:43:28,079
Speaker 20: You know, I think it's the new slam zone things.

2057
01:43:28,119 --> 01:43:30,720
I think, you know, patient, you know, we've been seeing

2058
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:34,600
a lot of pitches here the last three games. I mean,

2059
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:37,399
that's been something that we highlighted in the off season.

2060
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:40,920
We're preaching to our hitters, let us control the bat

2061
01:43:41,359 --> 01:43:44,800
like forcing the pitchers to make pitches. We know our strength.

2062
01:43:45,319 --> 01:43:49,600
Stay within yourself. We have a really good lineup. If

2063
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:51,600
you don't do the damage, the guy behind you will

2064
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:53,840
do the damage he didn't if they choose not to

2065
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:58,359
pitch you someone we are capable of having enough definitely

2066
01:43:58,399 --> 01:44:00,279
not lineup that the next guy is going do it.

2067
01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:04,640
And that has been the theme here for the first

2068
01:44:04,680 --> 01:44:08,399
few games. Contribution from the guys in the bottom. So

2069
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:11,319
when al Tuobek comes up to the plate and Jordan

2070
01:44:11,399 --> 01:44:13,760
comes to the plate, there's traffic on the basis, there's

2071
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:17,520
people on the basis, and we've been carrying out our

2072
01:44:17,560 --> 01:44:20,479
game plan very very well the last couple of games.

2073
01:44:21,119 --> 01:44:24,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. You know about Jeremy's finger,

2074
01:44:24,079 --> 01:44:25,840
and you've used him a couple of times day off

2075
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:28,279
here and there. What have you been told. Do you

2076
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:30,640
visit with him on the daily. How much does he

2077
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:32,199
want to test it? How much do you want to

2078
01:44:32,239 --> 01:44:33,479
see it tested at least early on?

2079
01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:37,319
Speaker 20: You know, we all want to see Jeremy in there

2080
01:44:37,439 --> 01:44:39,720
every single day. He wants to be out there every

2081
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:42,560
single day. But we're doing what's best for Jeremy and

2082
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:46,319
our club right now. We want to build his body.

2083
01:44:46,359 --> 01:44:48,399
You know, this is not about the finger right now,

2084
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:52,720
it's about his full body. You know, his legs, he's

2085
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:55,199
you know, he's all for body. We want to make

2086
01:44:55,279 --> 01:44:58,640
sure that heating really had a long like it's springs

2087
01:44:58,680 --> 01:45:01,560
training to really build off. There was a little poss

2088
01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:03,000
even though he was on the basis, he was in

2089
01:45:03,039 --> 01:45:04,960
the weight where he was taking ground balls, but he

2090
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:08,880
didn't really have a big build up towards the NF camp.

2091
01:45:09,199 --> 01:45:10,880
So we want to make sure that we do that.

2092
01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:13,880
We were hampered by injuries last year guys, and I

2093
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:16,680
want to be really smart about you know, the volume

2094
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:19,960
of games that this guys are getting. And also we've

2095
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:22,159
been playing some long games see in the last few days,

2096
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:24,159
So we want to be smart to make sure that

2097
01:45:24,239 --> 01:45:26,479
these guys stay healthy throughout the season.

2098
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:29,199
Speaker 1: You mentioned a long games. I don't mind long games

2099
01:45:29,199 --> 01:45:31,840
when you've had back to back games where you've overcome deficits.

2100
01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:32,680
Speaker 2: The reality is this.

2101
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:36,199
Speaker 1: That's something Joe, you hopefully can use in your back pocket,

2102
01:45:36,319 --> 01:45:38,479
is that if a team, your squad falls behind four

2103
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:40,439
nothing or gives up a four nothing lead like a

2104
01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:43,039
day the other day that you have the comeback ability.

2105
01:45:43,319 --> 01:45:45,880
That is something that is not you're not stopping the

2106
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:47,800
game and yelling the guys in the middle of the dugout.

2107
01:45:48,039 --> 01:45:48,960
Where does that come from?

2108
01:45:49,119 --> 01:45:54,600
Speaker 20: Absolutely not, absolutely not, absolutely not. And you know, I

2109
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,239
think what's what's very really important to recognize is that,

2110
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:00,479
you know, we we have we had gotten some of

2111
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:02,399
their starters that we face. They're being out of the

2112
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:05,399
game before the fifth end. Now when you do that,

2113
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,560
that triples down and pushing a really good spot for

2114
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:12,039
game two, Game three, other series. Right, it's showing the

2115
01:46:12,079 --> 01:46:15,000
Angels who lost the first two. So Rihanna went out

2116
01:46:15,039 --> 01:46:17,920
seven innings first game, and then we started, you know,

2117
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:22,479
having some longer up bats. We're starting, you know, passing

2118
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:25,119
the baton further down the further down the lineup, and

2119
01:46:25,159 --> 01:46:27,359
now all of a sudden Game three, Game four, the

2120
01:46:27,479 --> 01:46:29,920
same relievers that pitched Game one, their stub was not

2121
01:46:30,039 --> 01:46:32,399
playing the same because they've been using twice maybe three

2122
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:35,439
times doing a series. And I think that's something that

2123
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:39,199
we are we are talking to the guys in points

2124
01:46:39,199 --> 01:46:43,800
of it. It's when our lineup, it's does that it

2125
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:47,119
helps everyone in the lineup and also allow us to

2126
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:49,159
to win games and win series.

2127
01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:55,079
Speaker 1: You've had now five games of live action games that

2128
01:46:55,239 --> 01:46:57,319
count with the ABS system. How are you liking it?

2129
01:46:59,199 --> 01:47:00,600
Speaker 13: We don't we like it.

2130
01:47:01,039 --> 01:47:05,319
Speaker 20: We I think, you know, every seemed the umpires really

2131
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,119
locking it in and really trying to get every call

2132
01:47:08,239 --> 01:47:12,840
right right. That's the point that we are. We're making

2133
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:17,640
awareness of, Hey, this system is here to help everyone

2134
01:47:17,800 --> 01:47:20,920
get every call right. Conversation with the umpires in between

2135
01:47:20,920 --> 01:47:23,720
innings and the eaters. You know, it's been it's been

2136
01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:26,600
really good. The system has been good. We haven't been

2137
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:31,039
very successful early on, but we always you know, looking

2138
01:47:31,239 --> 01:47:33,880
over our decision making when it comes to what to

2139
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:36,560
use the ADS, just to make sure that we're using

2140
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:38,479
at the right time. Not only just you know, we

2141
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:40,840
don't want to be you know, we haven't not been suscessible,

2142
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:42,399
but we want to make sure that we are successful

2143
01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:45,720
using it at the right time. So when we have moments,

2144
01:47:46,119 --> 01:47:48,239
especially relating the game, we still have some of them

2145
01:47:48,319 --> 01:47:50,600
least so we can execute last.

2146
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 1: One from us skip a brave you second performance. The

2147
01:47:54,039 --> 01:47:56,199
velocity was down and and I'm trying to make too

2148
01:47:56,319 --> 01:47:57,920
much of that because it could be a gun. It

2149
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:01,399
could be the tired arm you were quoted as saying,

2150
01:48:01,439 --> 01:48:03,279
and like you'd interpret it for us a little bit

2151
01:48:03,399 --> 01:48:05,439
that it's more of a mechanical than it was about

2152
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:07,560
just the arm. So where where are you with him?

2153
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:10,159
And what was that mechanical adjustment you think he's going

2154
01:48:10,239 --> 01:48:11,840
to make? And I mean, you don't tell us, but

2155
01:48:11,880 --> 01:48:12,640
what is it right now?

2156
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 20: Well, so I'll have to share that with you. You know,

2157
01:48:16,159 --> 01:48:18,920
in a post game after he's got outing. I had

2158
01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:21,520
a conversation with very my office it and I wanted

2159
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:23,720
him to be handed with me. You know, it's a

2160
01:48:24,239 --> 01:48:27,039
are you healthy, it's a it's a skip. I'm healthy,

2161
01:48:27,079 --> 01:48:29,600
I'm one hundred percent. But right now I'm battling some

2162
01:48:29,760 --> 01:48:35,439
mechanical issues. And you know, Briana Brew is a huge

2163
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:40,520
human being, and you know next overbody lower half, there's

2164
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:42,640
got to be coordination and there's got to be You've

2165
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,600
got to be uh, the secret needs to be right

2166
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:47,720
right before he's delivered to be working out in front.

2167
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:50,560
Right now, he's opening lower half too quick, arm size

2168
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:54,600
dropping and he's yanking everything. You don't really see Briana bread.

2169
01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:57,680
When Briana Brew is making gloss side, that's that's a

2170
01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:01,560
sign of he's spinning too quick, he's opening too quick

2171
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:05,000
now when he's missing armside right when he's heart ninety

2172
01:49:05,039 --> 01:49:07,479
eight to the top of his zone. Now he's finishing

2173
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,520
out in front. So he was walking me through that.

2174
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:14,039
He knows what he needs to be working on and as.

2175
01:49:14,039 --> 01:49:17,680
Speaker 22: Coaches, and we're going to help him through that right

2176
01:49:18,319 --> 01:49:23,000
through videos, you know, through blackground and but but it's

2177
01:49:23,039 --> 01:49:24,840
I'm not concerned at all.

2178
01:49:25,880 --> 01:49:28,960
Speaker 20: It's it's just it's what happens early in this season,

2179
01:49:29,239 --> 01:49:31,000
like just so I could hit her. My timing is

2180
01:49:31,039 --> 01:49:33,439
not down, it's not quite there yet, and you need

2181
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:36,800
to continue to give him opportunity because we know how

2182
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:38,720
good he is. We can't win without Brandon Brother. That's

2183
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:39,680
just the bottom line, no.

2184
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:40,399
Speaker 2: Question about that.

2185
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:42,640
Speaker 1: Joe, Thank you the visit, looking forward to a lot

2186
01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:44,760
of these every Tuesday, and good luck tonight and trying

2187
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,840
to get this series win against the Red Sax. All right, fellows,

2188
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,079
thank you, thank you for show a spot of Manager

2189
01:49:50,159 --> 01:49:52,640
of the Astros with us here on its Sports Talks

2190
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:53,880
him and you and I could talk to him.

2191
01:49:54,039 --> 01:49:56,600
Speaker 2: We mentioned this during Astrofest. We could spend hours.

2192
01:49:56,720 --> 01:49:59,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, we got to be fair he

2193
01:49:59,079 --> 01:50:01,960
should bring some questions us. Hmm, No, I don't think

2194
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:04,479
he wants to like No, just in life in general,

2195
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:08,680
life in general. Now, let's tell baseball. Okay, we beginning

2196
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:10,359
for ten minutes a week when we're very bluck. Yes,

2197
01:50:10,439 --> 01:50:12,520
we have to get to spend our time one. I

2198
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:16,319
always you know, I was thinking about the the first

2199
01:50:16,399 --> 01:50:18,079
two games. I was like, oh gosh, they need to

2200
01:50:18,159 --> 01:50:20,239
turn this around, just because I like the interviewing well,

2201
01:50:20,279 --> 01:50:21,479
we like him in a good mood, we like the

2202
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:25,279
Astros winning well, hanging fruit. That's it's early season. Life happens,

2203
01:50:25,399 --> 01:50:29,439
that's true. But it's much better to be talking to

2204
01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:31,880
them three and two than more than can you crush

2205
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:34,399
the Red Sox? You back to back, come from behind victories?

2206
01:50:34,439 --> 01:50:37,199
M colors, mcclors, we'll get to by. We got to look,

2207
01:50:37,199 --> 01:50:39,000
we got twenty five more weeks of these bad boys.

2208
01:50:39,039 --> 01:50:40,880
So well, we will make sure to get everybody in

2209
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,079
on this. Yes, it's kind of nice. We're not spending

2210
01:50:43,119 --> 01:50:44,640
a whole lot of time talking about injuries. And I

2211
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:47,399
do believe him on the bray. You, I think mechanics

2212
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:51,319
can come into play and the reality is this, if

2213
01:50:51,399 --> 01:50:53,439
you're and this is the gods on the truth. If

2214
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:56,239
you're a member of the Astros medical staff, with everybody

2215
01:50:56,319 --> 01:50:59,640
having the microscope on you, if there is something wrong

2216
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:01,720
with I to bring you, they better figure that out

2217
01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:03,359
really fast. And I think they would have done that,

2218
01:51:04,279 --> 01:51:06,199
I hope, So I would tend to believe that when

2219
01:51:06,239 --> 01:51:08,560
he's telling us it's more mechanical than is anything else

2220
01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:10,319
about arm slide pitching and whatnot.

2221
01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 2: I want to believe. I have to believe me.

2222
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:16,399
Speaker 1: He and the athlete has to tell that to Joe

2223
01:51:17,560 --> 01:51:20,720
because they've already got one picture down. They don't they

2224
01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:23,760
can't afford to have the double high end relievers out.

2225
01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:26,840
Oh Joe has me feeling confident. Yeah, so it's just mechanics.

2226
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:28,800
He's gonna be all good, all right. Twelve forty three

2227
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:32,000
on Sports Talk seven and All Things Share on today's edition.

2228
01:51:32,039 --> 01:51:33,640
Speaker 2: To Believe or not, it's going to be awesome. Can

2229
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:34,760
we play share music behind it?

2230
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 14: No?

2231
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 1: All right? I mean if you want no, no, never,

2232
01:51:39,079 --> 01:51:39,520
You're fine.

2233
01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:41,279
Speaker 2: You're you're a bigger part of the shows. Anything.

2234
01:51:41,359 --> 01:51:41,840
Speaker 1: Jesse James.

2235
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:47,840
Speaker 2: We wouldn't play Jesse James or Jesse James Bankers. Yeah,

2236
01:51:48,680 --> 01:51:54,119
not familiar, all right. Just was a disco Phenom two

2237
01:51:54,159 --> 01:51:54,720
for a while too.

2238
01:51:55,479 --> 01:51:58,600
Speaker 1: Okay, take me Home was a disco head of hers

2239
01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:00,520
back and then take me home tonight that he that's

2240
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:02,079
not her, that's not her, that's somebody else.

2241
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:05,560
Speaker 2: Nope, that's a rock band. Oh all right, twelve forty four.

2242
01:52:05,560 --> 01:52:07,039
Speaker 1: If you want to comment to anything that Joe had

2243
01:52:07,079 --> 01:52:09,319
to say, let us know seven one three two one

2244
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:12,319
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two

2245
01:52:12,680 --> 01:52:17,279
five seven ninety Now normally Thursdays at eleven thirty we do.

2246
01:52:17,399 --> 01:52:19,199
Speaker 2: I just don't get it, but I just have to

2247
01:52:19,279 --> 01:52:19,800
get this out.

2248
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:25,239
Speaker 1: Today, Rossy, there was a you know, the NFL owners

2249
01:52:25,319 --> 01:52:30,079
meetings are in I think Phoenix, Yeah, they're in Phoenix.

2250
01:52:32,439 --> 01:52:35,359
They took a lot of time yesterday at the NFL

2251
01:52:35,399 --> 01:52:37,159
Owners meetings talking about.

2252
01:52:38,359 --> 01:52:39,239
Speaker 2: Flag football.

2253
01:52:41,319 --> 01:52:44,399
Speaker 1: How the NFL is going to back a league of

2254
01:52:45,439 --> 01:52:47,920
flag football for both men and for women.

2255
01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:54,359
Speaker 2: I just don't get it. What's the endgame on that?

2256
01:52:57,000 --> 01:53:00,159
Speaker 1: No, well, they're going to try to make money, get

2257
01:53:00,199 --> 01:53:02,159
people interested in it. You don't get it, really, I

2258
01:53:02,279 --> 01:53:02,960
really don't get it.

2259
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 23: No.

2260
01:53:03,960 --> 01:53:06,840
Speaker 1: Look, flag football it was great in college when you

2261
01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:09,640
were playing dorm versus dorm and the losing dorm had

2262
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:12,520
to go buy a beer after. I love that flag

2263
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:15,279
football was cool when you were not athletic enough to

2264
01:53:15,319 --> 01:53:18,359
play football because your mom wouldn't let you. Some of

2265
01:53:18,399 --> 01:53:22,840
these guys are pretty crazy, crazy athletes. If you watch

2266
01:53:22,920 --> 01:53:25,840
have you seen that like a like professional tag, like

2267
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:28,479
to start and stop and the the agility. It's actually

2268
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:31,439
not bad. I do believe there are athletes that are

2269
01:53:31,479 --> 01:53:34,520
doing it. Yes, I'm not saying that it's at it's

2270
01:53:34,560 --> 01:53:36,840
not fat guys with cigarettes in her mouth playing. Yeah,

2271
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:45,119
but I I'm never gonna consider it to be legit. Well,

2272
01:53:45,159 --> 01:53:47,720
you need star power. I don't know how much star

2273
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:50,479
power are you gonna get. You need the Probably, yeah,

2274
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:54,239
I think it's it probably would could possibly blossom as

2275
01:53:54,279 --> 01:53:55,680
some kind of niche sport. I don't think they're trying

2276
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:57,439
to overtake, you know, the NFL or anything like that.

2277
01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:00,920
Sean Payton said today he would be quote surprise that

2278
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,720
there are any NFL players on the United States team

2279
01:54:03,760 --> 01:54:06,359
in the near future playing flag football. Earlier this month,

2280
01:54:06,399 --> 01:54:09,399
he coached the Founder's FFC team, made up of current

2281
01:54:09,479 --> 01:54:13,560
and former players, captain by Tom Brady. Ironically enough, HM

2282
01:54:14,479 --> 01:54:17,560
Founders FFC lost both games in the tournament, including a

2283
01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:20,199
forty three to sixteen defeat to the current.

2284
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:21,199
Speaker 2: Existing USA team.

2285
01:54:21,880 --> 01:54:26,119
Speaker 1: Flag football will be an Olympic sport in twenty twenty eight.

2286
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 2: I just don't get it.

2287
01:54:28,720 --> 01:54:33,760
Speaker 1: These dudes are crazy. I'm just saying, like, if you

2288
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:35,520
watch some of the highlights. Now, I haven't sat down

2289
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:37,039
and watched a whole game or anything like that. Here,

2290
01:54:37,079 --> 01:54:39,199
I'm about to retweet this one from go find it

2291
01:54:39,319 --> 01:54:43,279
at sports RV on my Twitter. This dude, Velton Brown Junior,

2292
01:54:44,159 --> 01:54:47,600
Like he's making moves like I said, the start and stop,

2293
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:54,159
the agility, the bend. It's crazy. Not saying I'm gonna

2294
01:54:54,159 --> 01:54:56,079
sit down watch and it's gonna overtake the NFL. It's

2295
01:54:56,079 --> 01:55:01,079
not gonna overtake Super Sunday. Here's what we're seeing. We're

2296
01:55:01,159 --> 01:55:06,159
seeing anything that we ever did as a kid. Somebody

2297
01:55:06,239 --> 01:55:08,640
is saying, I want to make it a professional league.

2298
01:55:09,760 --> 01:55:12,800
Like there's pro pickleball. Yeah, I was just about to

2299
01:55:12,840 --> 01:55:15,479
bring that up. Yeah there's pro Yeah, exactly, it's pro pickleball.

2300
01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:19,680
Gonna be pro ping pong, yeah, pro table tennis, pro volleyball.

2301
01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:21,560
They're going when they're starting up women's.

2302
01:55:21,359 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 2: Leagues, yeah they are. But volleyball.

2303
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:32,239
Speaker 1: And basketball, I mean those are tried and true team sports.

2304
01:55:32,359 --> 01:55:34,960
Big three is charted. How about what would Big three be?

2305
01:55:35,039 --> 01:55:40,319
The more a parallel? That's a great comp I went

2306
01:55:40,359 --> 01:55:42,439
to go see Big Three personly in Dallas and Ryan

2307
01:55:42,520 --> 01:55:43,840
Hollins was playing Would you like it?

2308
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:44,439
Speaker 2: I hated it?

2309
01:55:44,720 --> 01:55:49,880
Speaker 1: Oh, it's funny because I was. I was getting my

2310
01:55:50,199 --> 01:55:52,319
beard trim today, my shave at the at the barber.

2311
01:55:53,119 --> 01:55:55,560
I was thinking that the first segment and he and

2312
01:55:55,720 --> 01:55:57,920
my barber said, hey, do you watch college baseball? And

2313
01:55:57,960 --> 01:55:59,960
I said, I, you know, I've called some college baseball,

2314
01:56:00,039 --> 01:56:02,840
but I don't regularly watch it because the reality is this,

2315
01:56:03,239 --> 01:56:07,880
so I just can't watch everything. I am super vested

2316
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:11,039
in the Rockets, supervested the answer, supervested in the Texans

2317
01:56:11,079 --> 01:56:14,159
and the NFL and my Cougars. I got to have

2318
01:56:14,319 --> 01:56:16,920
some time away from a television in a way, and

2319
01:56:17,119 --> 01:56:18,640
just college baseball is just not going to.

2320
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:19,079
Speaker 13: Do it for me.

2321
01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:23,079
Speaker 2: But maybe less a product is obvious. I mean it's obvious.

2322
01:56:23,399 --> 01:56:28,000
Speaker 1: It's just not as good, right, wasn't? And if the

2323
01:56:28,079 --> 01:56:30,600
answer is yes, please correct me. Was America thirsting for

2324
01:56:31,600 --> 01:56:36,880
competitive flag football? I don't think so. Again. Last time

2325
01:56:36,880 --> 01:56:39,800
I played flag football, I swear to god, it was

2326
01:56:40,319 --> 01:56:43,920
probably November nineteen ninety one, I was nineteen years old.

2327
01:56:44,439 --> 01:56:48,720
I was playing in a flag football league in at

2328
01:56:48,760 --> 01:56:51,239
the University of North Texas and Denton. I sacked the

2329
01:56:51,319 --> 01:56:57,359
quarterback in my greatest flag football accomplishment.

2330
01:56:57,479 --> 01:56:59,680
Speaker 2: Really yeah. I was also the off of Mississippi where

2331
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:01,199
I was the offensive coordinator as well.

2332
01:57:01,279 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 24: You were.

2333
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:05,479
Speaker 1: Okay, there's fun drawing up place. Okay, they put people

2334
01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:07,720
in motion left and right. I mean it's fun. But

2335
01:57:08,119 --> 01:57:10,520
I never thought when I was nineteen years old, Man,

2336
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:12,680
I can't wait for a professional flag football league to

2337
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:14,159
develop thirty years later. Yeah.

2338
01:57:14,399 --> 01:57:15,960
Speaker 2: Now I see why some people are doing it.

2339
01:57:16,600 --> 01:57:19,920
Speaker 1: The chance of getting injured or is dramatically less less

2340
01:57:20,520 --> 01:57:24,159
two percent compared to fifteen football. I get it. But Man,

2341
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:30,920
coming to you live. We're in Dallas at Jones Park today.

2342
01:57:31,039 --> 01:57:42,520
It's the Houston Houston Flash against the Dallas Mighty Bumpkins. Bumpkins. Now, Jonathan,

2343
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,840
I know you will not go play in the UFL.

2344
01:57:45,319 --> 01:57:47,399
Can I get you on a professional flag football team?

2345
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:52,239
You know, because I'm trying to use your speed? No,

2346
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:54,960
I mean I could, I could do it. It's run

2347
01:57:55,039 --> 01:57:57,359
of nine I play. Give me the Randy Moss of

2348
01:57:57,399 --> 01:57:57,960
flag football.

2349
01:57:58,039 --> 01:57:58,640
Speaker 14: Just go to just go.

2350
01:57:58,920 --> 01:58:03,960
Speaker 1: How's your hands? I played defense. Typically guys that aren't

2351
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:05,279
run track have crappy hands.

2352
01:58:05,359 --> 01:58:05,720
Speaker 15: They just do.

2353
01:58:09,239 --> 01:58:15,439
Speaker 1: What was your what was your baton drop rate? To No,

2354
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:19,039
it was just one school record holder, come on with

2355
01:58:19,199 --> 01:58:22,079
some respect in that man's name. But they legitimately at

2356
01:58:22,079 --> 01:58:25,319
the owner's meetings had a press conference and Larry Fitzgerald

2357
01:58:25,399 --> 01:58:26,359
was up there talking about it.

2358
01:58:26,399 --> 01:58:29,239
Speaker 2: I mean, I was like, are you kidding me? Flag football?

2359
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:31,680
Speaker 1: That's cool. I don't know. I'll give it a shot,

2360
01:58:32,399 --> 01:58:33,520
see if I like it. Like you said, you can

2361
01:58:33,560 --> 01:58:35,840
only invest in so much. But you know as much

2362
01:58:35,920 --> 01:58:39,000
like tease about it being in the Olympics. Maddy and

2363
01:58:39,079 --> 01:58:41,000
Rossie we like watching beach volleyball and they ain't the

2364
01:58:41,039 --> 01:58:43,600
most Olympic thing out there. I love beach volleyball. I

2365
01:58:43,640 --> 01:58:44,319
love the Olympics.

2366
01:58:44,439 --> 01:58:46,760
Speaker 2: I love them. I was watching more Winter Olympics than

2367
01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:47,319
I thought I would.

2368
01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:50,840
Speaker 1: Oh not for me. I'm also I'm strictly you're a liar.

2369
01:58:51,359 --> 01:58:53,560
You're a liar. You said you were watching I watched

2370
01:58:53,560 --> 01:58:56,720
a little bit. I tell you, I don't remember. Didn't

2371
01:58:56,760 --> 01:58:58,560
Jonathan back me up? Didn't he say he was watching

2372
01:58:58,600 --> 01:59:00,239
some Winter Olympics and he was more than he thought

2373
01:59:00,239 --> 01:59:02,720
he was gonna watch. Was watching a little speed skating,

2374
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:07,960
A little bit with speed skating in curling. See, I

2375
01:59:08,039 --> 01:59:10,119
watched the gold medal hockey team. Pedro brought to put

2376
01:59:10,199 --> 01:59:12,520
up a good point. What's the spread? Put a line

2377
01:59:12,560 --> 01:59:16,760
in there, what's the money line? I got the Houston

2378
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:19,760
Flash on the money line. Lock of a week. I

2379
01:59:19,840 --> 01:59:22,640
got the San Antonio Fury minus the four and a

2380
01:59:22,680 --> 01:59:23,439
half flags.

2381
01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:27,399
Speaker 2: I'm in, by the way, the flags.

2382
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:29,119
Speaker 1: If you really want to be a gangster about it,

2383
01:59:29,159 --> 01:59:31,319
you would tuck the flag underneath your belt so it's

2384
01:59:31,319 --> 01:59:33,319
harder to pull. You can't do that.

2385
01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 2: You can get away with it as long as you're

2386
01:59:35,039 --> 01:59:36,319
not in professional flags.

2387
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:37,479
Speaker 24: Yes I do.

2388
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:40,319
Speaker 1: They're not gonna allow you to tuck in your flag. Man,

2389
01:59:42,039 --> 01:59:44,039
there's not gonna be a keg at the fifty yard line.

2390
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:52,680
We played one time in a monsoon ROSSI I mean

2391
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:59,279
a serious, serious monsoon. Okay, it was fun. Okay, Yeah,

2392
01:59:59,279 --> 02:00:00,800
I don't know what I'm say. You're drawing up plays

2393
02:00:00,800 --> 02:00:03,840
on a piece of paint with the weather in. Implications

2394
02:00:03,920 --> 02:00:07,760
are it was? We played coed by the way, naturally, Oh,

2395
02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:10,680
you accidentally kept on grabbing something else instead of the flag.

2396
02:00:10,800 --> 02:00:14,880
Huh what was I grabbing? I want to know too, Yeah,

2397
02:00:14,960 --> 02:00:22,640
me too. Cheek I grab someone's cheek. Did I get

2398
02:00:22,680 --> 02:00:27,600
in trouble or no? Probably right Cody restraining order. Thomas

2399

Final hour Matt Thomas Show was Ross Believe it or not?

2400
02:00:32,560 --> 02:00:33,920
Share today? God love her?

2401
02:00:34,239 --> 02:00:36,319
Speaker 2: Seventy So you's seventy nine years old. She's right, you

2402
02:00:36,359 --> 02:00:37,039
know she wrote a book.

2403
02:00:37,079 --> 02:00:39,399
Speaker 1: She got seventy. How many books has she running? I

2404
02:00:39,399 --> 02:00:41,119
don't know, but the first one is about her first

2405
02:00:41,159 --> 02:00:42,520
half of her life. Now she's gonna be the back

2406
02:00:42,520 --> 02:00:45,479
half of her life. As she writes this one. Apparently

2407
02:00:45,600 --> 02:00:47,119
Sonny was an a hole to her for the most part,

2408
02:00:47,159 --> 02:00:49,039
which I'm thinking, if I'm marrying that goddess, I'll be

2409
02:00:49,159 --> 02:00:55,960
nice to her. Yeah. Oh sorry, reading some very disturbing

2410
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:57,359
facts about her that I will not say out not

2411
02:00:58,039 --> 02:01:00,600
you tell me to break. I mean, I could say

2412
02:01:00,600 --> 02:01:03,760
it if you want. It's twelve fifty eight finalizer Matt

Thomas Show with Ross. We have fifty nine minutes left

2415
02:01:16,520 --> 02:01:19,079
to go on this radio show. Make it count, Houston, Texas.

2416
02:01:19,199 --> 02:01:20,600
We are going to entertain the hell out of you.

2417
02:01:20,720 --> 02:01:24,600
We will not bore you with endless NFL mock draft conversation.

2418
02:01:25,600 --> 02:01:28,119
I made a gut feeling earlier today. Ross, I stand

2419
02:01:28,159 --> 02:01:30,640
by it, Rockets, I mean, excuse me. The Texans trade

2420
02:01:30,680 --> 02:01:33,359
out of the first round, believe me or not.

2421
02:01:36,520 --> 02:01:36,560
Speaker 4: Not?

2422
02:01:37,319 --> 02:01:38,520
Speaker 2: You think you're stay in the first round.

2423
02:01:39,239 --> 02:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe leaving trade up. We will get a draft

2424
02:01:42,680 --> 02:01:45,119
expert on next week. By the way, okay, I will

2425
02:01:45,159 --> 02:01:49,920
search good, I will chase good. It's tough to get

2426
02:01:49,920 --> 02:01:50,600
people these days.

2427
02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:51,000
Speaker 15: It is.

2428
02:01:52,239 --> 02:01:55,039
Speaker 1: It's too big time. We got way too many big

2429
02:01:55,079 --> 02:01:58,960
timesif way too many big timers out there. Pro Football

2430
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:02,520
Focus had massive layofd What happened? You know they got well,

2431
02:02:03,359 --> 02:02:04,760
Chris Collins were sold as steak.

2432
02:02:05,199 --> 02:02:05,720
Speaker 2: Oh he's out.

2433
02:02:05,840 --> 02:02:11,439
Speaker 1: Huh he got nine figures? He said? What now? Okay,

2434
02:02:12,039 --> 02:02:14,439
you're the economist of the two of us. I guess

2435
02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:17,399
I don't look at that website very often with There

2436
02:02:17,399 --> 02:02:18,960
are a lot of ads on there. Help me, help

2437
02:02:19,039 --> 02:02:21,960
me how they got nine? Every single team, all thirty two?

2438
02:02:22,039 --> 02:02:23,600
To you make fun of Pro Football Focus? All you

2439
02:02:23,640 --> 02:02:26,439
want all thirty two teams? Yes, you do all thy

2440
02:02:27,319 --> 02:02:30,359
All thirty two teams subscribe to their data, so they

2441
02:02:30,439 --> 02:02:33,720
must charge in a laciously large amount. So yeah, they

2442
02:02:33,920 --> 02:02:42,039
apparently it is Amy nine nine figure deal is what

2443
02:02:42,119 --> 02:02:44,840
it was said. What was reported for Chris collins Worth

2444
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:47,560
selling a steak in PFF. So they have a consumer

2445
02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:49,359
side and then they have a private side that goes

2446
02:02:49,359 --> 02:02:51,760
to the teams. And the consumer side apparently is going away,

2447
02:02:52,479 --> 02:02:54,159
so I won't be able to pull up their grades anymore.

2448
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:57,680
Speaker 2: But they that's used by a lot of media people.

2449
02:02:57,760 --> 02:03:01,800
Speaker 1: I use their grades, I use their fantasy I use

2450
02:03:02,880 --> 02:03:05,239
I mean just just reading their stuff. They have betting

2451
02:03:05,319 --> 02:03:09,000
content as well. I mean it's a decent website. I've

2452
02:03:09,079 --> 02:03:11,159
subscribed to it for years. So now all those guys

2453
02:03:11,239 --> 02:03:12,800
that are hounds are gonna have to go out and

2454
02:03:12,840 --> 02:03:15,319
get regular their data. Guys they're keeping. That's a lot

2455
02:03:15,359 --> 02:03:17,319
of the content. The podcast they do, they do PIP

2456
02:03:17,359 --> 02:03:20,199
submits a multimeter platform. I mean, it's it's podcasting, it's

2457
02:03:20,439 --> 02:03:23,479
it's videos, it's youtubes, it's all this stuff. Most of

2458
02:03:23,479 --> 02:03:25,800
everything's going away except for the data that they sell

2459
02:03:25,840 --> 02:03:28,119
to the teams. I guess that's how they really their

2460
02:03:28,239 --> 02:03:33,520
their bread is buttered. Okay, wow, because they they NBC

2461
02:03:33,640 --> 02:03:35,760
when they put their graphics of players, they talk about

2462
02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:38,119
what position ranking they are. Yeah, I don't know if

2463
02:03:38,159 --> 02:03:40,279
that's going away or how much. But a lot of

2464
02:03:40,279 --> 02:03:42,800
the guys that I follow and I take the I

2465
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:45,920
read their content, they're getting all getting laid off. There's

2466
02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:48,479
a there's a NFL Draft podcast they have that I

2467
02:03:48,560 --> 02:03:50,479
listened to. Let me ask you this. If you're Chris

2468
02:03:50,560 --> 02:03:55,119
collins Worth, you just claim nine figures? Do you buy

2469
02:03:55,159 --> 02:03:58,000
those guys a year? I don't know what you do.

2470
02:03:58,239 --> 02:04:01,279
He's probably pocketing it. I'm guessing how many bros got

2471
02:04:01,359 --> 02:04:04,720
to let go. Somebody said, now here's an acquisition. It's

2472
02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:09,399
funny if you know Chris Colender. That's so in the weeds,

2473
02:04:09,479 --> 02:04:13,000
but it works out beautifully. Let me ask this. If

2474
02:04:13,079 --> 02:04:15,960
I got nine figures and I knew that ten of

2475
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:17,800
the men that I worked with helped me get the

2476
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:19,439
nine figures, I would make sure you guys got paid

2477
02:04:19,439 --> 02:04:22,880
an entire year salary for as a severance pack. That'd

2478
02:04:22,920 --> 02:04:27,960
be nice. I hope they get something because yeah, they

2479
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:32,600
got bought by TeamWorks. I don't know exactly what all right, Well, uh,

2480
02:04:32,920 --> 02:04:35,279
we used it here on the show. Yes, we made

2481
02:04:35,319 --> 02:04:36,880
fun of it. I did back in the day shot,

2482
02:04:36,880 --> 02:04:38,880
but I've changed my tune on it. I didn't realize

2483
02:04:38,920 --> 02:04:41,239
what kind of poonhounds they were. Yes, now they got

2484
02:04:41,319 --> 02:04:44,039
more time to go be hounds because they're looking for work.

2485
02:04:44,760 --> 02:04:46,479
And here's the problem with those dada guys are staying

2486
02:04:46,520 --> 02:04:47,840
I said, data nerds are saying.

2487
02:04:47,920 --> 02:04:49,399
Speaker 2: So there guys were not pooon hounds. They were just

2488
02:04:49,439 --> 02:04:51,600
regular hounds, all right.

2489
02:04:51,720 --> 02:04:55,560
Speaker 1: Seven to one three two five seven seven one three

2490
02:04:56,359 --> 02:04:59,159

2491

2546
02:07:40,800 --> 02:07:44,399
for If I Could Turn Back Time, sung by Diane Warren.

2547
02:07:45,079 --> 02:07:47,279
Share was They sent her the demo like, hey, record this,

2548
02:07:47,680 --> 02:07:51,319
She hated the song. She had to get encouraged and

2549
02:07:51,439 --> 02:07:55,279
badgered by the songwriter and then finally agreed to record

2550
02:07:55,359 --> 02:07:56,760
If I Could Turn Back Time, and then it became

2551
02:07:56,760 --> 02:07:57,319
a massive hit.

2552
02:07:57,600 --> 02:07:59,279
Speaker 2: So how are we going to spend this is your question.

2553
02:08:00,720 --> 02:08:02,439
You're gonna say that Cher hated.

2554
02:08:02,239 --> 02:08:03,760
Speaker 1: Share was in a demo for her hit If I

2555
02:08:03,800 --> 02:08:05,560
Could Turn Back Time and initially hated the song and

2556
02:08:05,640 --> 02:08:07,680
refused to record it. That's it. Believe That is a

2557
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:12,079
believe it. Yes, listen to me. That is a believe it.

2558
02:08:12,159 --> 02:08:14,560
It's a fun fact too. It's a lot of fun.

2559
02:08:15,199 --> 02:08:17,520
A lot of people didn't like their songs or didn't

2560
02:08:17,520 --> 02:08:20,319
think they were great, and they become massive hits. Happened

2561
02:08:20,359 --> 02:08:21,760
all the time. You all to share. You know, I

2562
02:08:21,800 --> 02:08:23,479
have a list when if I ever get to interview

2563
02:08:23,479 --> 02:08:27,039
Paul McCartney, which the chances that are zero percent. You've

2564
02:08:27,079 --> 02:08:29,439
written questions for him. In my mind that is that

2565
02:08:29,640 --> 02:08:32,359
is adorable. And the two questions I have for him

2566
02:08:32,359 --> 02:08:34,199
are really they're one A and one B. It's one

2567
02:08:34,319 --> 02:08:36,920
what song do you sing a lot that you don't love?

2568
02:08:37,079 --> 02:08:38,840
And that's what's the one song that you love a

2569
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:40,840
lot that you wish you could sing more? But people

2570
02:08:40,960 --> 02:08:45,720
just haven't gravitated towards it. Okay, like he I've seen

2571
02:08:45,840 --> 02:08:49,600
Paul four times. Isn't the Intermittent Postman? Or what is

2572
02:08:49,640 --> 02:08:50,640
that song called that you hate?

2573
02:08:50,880 --> 02:08:52,000
Speaker 2: Temporary secretary?

2574
02:08:53,279 --> 02:08:54,000
Speaker 1: That's close.

2575
02:08:57,279 --> 02:08:59,439
Speaker 2: So I've seen him four times. He's played that song

2576
02:08:59,520 --> 02:08:59,960
three times.

2577
02:09:01,159 --> 02:09:04,840
Speaker 1: That's it's time to go to the bathroom song. It's temporary.

2578
02:09:05,399 --> 02:09:09,159
First of all, nobody calls anybody a secretary anymore. The

2579
02:09:09,279 --> 02:09:11,640
song was made in nineteen eighty. It was never a hit,

2580
02:09:12,239 --> 02:09:14,359
but for some reason he likes it. He probably loves it.

2581
02:09:14,520 --> 02:09:17,319
So he was in LA this past weekend and he

2582
02:09:17,439 --> 02:09:23,279
had two shows at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles, Okay,

2583
02:09:23,479 --> 02:09:27,039
And apparently the first night was for like just diehard fans.

2584
02:09:27,079 --> 02:09:29,520
The second night was more for celebrities and a listers.

2585
02:09:30,760 --> 02:09:34,159
One of the two nights he sang Temporary Secretary. If

2586
02:09:34,199 --> 02:09:37,039
you're Paul freakin McCartney and you have all the hits

2587
02:09:37,079 --> 02:09:39,520
and the beatles, all the hits from your solo career,

2588
02:09:39,920 --> 02:09:42,119
all the hits from your wings career, why do you

2589
02:09:42,199 --> 02:09:45,560
continue to put this god awful song out? Clearly he

2590
02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:48,600
likes it, so I know one of the answers to

2591
02:09:48,640 --> 02:09:51,359
my own question, what song do you love that we

2592
02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:53,359

02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:18,239
I don't want to listen to the whole song on

2604
02:10:18,319 --> 02:10:20,399
this show. But you gotta let it breathe sometimes, Matt,

2605
02:10:20,479 --> 02:10:23,479
I've let it breathe. It's breathed stinky ass. Once you

Is he going to do the in game broadcast?

2612
02:10:47,520 --> 02:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Ross broadcast? I have no experience doing play by play

2613
02:10:51,199 --> 02:10:56,199
or color commentary, so probably not. Well, that's true. No,

2614
02:10:56,399 --> 02:10:58,600
Matt was a prodigy. Matt was like, weren't you calling

2615
02:10:58,720 --> 02:10:59,800
Rice games when you were like twenty?

2616
02:11:00,199 --> 02:11:01,800
Speaker 2: I was calling you of H games while I was

2617
02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:05,640
going to school, So yeah, I was twenty twenty four

2618
02:11:05,720 --> 02:11:06,079
years old.

2619
02:11:06,680 --> 02:11:08,439
Speaker 1: I did some color in high school, back in the

2620
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:10,000
day high school football color.

2621
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:10,439
Speaker 2: It was fun.

2622
02:11:12,119 --> 02:11:14,079
Speaker 24: Matt won't do it because he does the rockets right

2623
02:11:14,079 --> 02:11:14,760
at the same time.

2624
02:11:15,840 --> 02:11:17,119
Speaker 1: Well, I mean put it this.

2625
02:11:17,199 --> 02:11:19,800
Speaker 2: Way, I don't that that has not been determined yet,

2626
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:20,319
and I'm not.

2627
02:11:20,640 --> 02:11:21,359
Speaker 1: Well, we'll let that.

2628
02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:22,960
Speaker 2: We'll cross that bridge runs.

2629
02:11:22,840 --> 02:11:27,000
Speaker 24: Time, Okay, any I got feelings I wanted to get

2630
02:11:27,000 --> 02:11:30,600
to That's the reason I really called sure. I think

2631
02:11:30,680 --> 02:11:34,079
that either Ross. I think Jonathan more than Ross. One

2632
02:11:34,119 --> 02:11:38,000
of those guys will take their their girlfriends on a

2633
02:11:38,079 --> 02:11:41,000
date this weekend and they're going to have a evening

2634
02:11:41,439 --> 02:11:44,920
with Ludicrous. And that's just a gut feeling though. That's

2635
02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:46,479
the talk you guys later.

2636
02:11:49,159 --> 02:11:52,039
Speaker 1: You going to the Gamblers game this weekend? Johnah, you know,

2637
02:11:52,079 --> 02:11:54,720
I didn't plan on it, but I don't plan on

2638
02:11:54,800 --> 02:11:56,960
it either, So that's a bad guy feeling from James.

2639
02:12:00,159 --> 02:12:00,640
Thank you.

2640
02:12:00,880 --> 02:12:01,880
Speaker 2: No one's going in the games.

2641
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:05,159
Speaker 1: I'm curiously I want to go now, just to like

2642
02:12:05,239 --> 02:12:07,479
take a video of many a one thousand in Dallas

2643
02:12:07,560 --> 02:12:15,239
over the weekend. Yeah, that was announced right, Yes they

2644
02:12:15,359 --> 02:12:18,359
butchered it. No, they didn't butcher The products is not good.

2645
02:12:18,359 --> 02:12:21,319
The product's not good. But you have to. I mean, look,

2646
02:12:21,600 --> 02:12:24,800
I'll say this, for the last time, the Roughnecks had

2647
02:12:24,840 --> 02:12:27,359
a niche crowd of about fifteen sixteen thousand that went

2648
02:12:27,399 --> 02:12:32,039
to games. Why the UFL or the EXFT, whatever the

2649
02:12:32,079 --> 02:12:33,960
hell it was at that time, screwed that up. You

2650
02:12:34,079 --> 02:12:37,079
pissed off sixteen thousand people. COVID was it did? Was

2651
02:12:37,119 --> 02:12:39,560
it around COVID times? And they had issues too? Was

2652
02:12:39,600 --> 02:12:41,800
it before COVID when the Roughnecks were getting in big fans?

2653
02:12:41,840 --> 02:12:42,439
Speaker 2: I think they were.

2654
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:46,439
Speaker 1: I can't that question. I don't know, by the way,

2655
02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:49,840
what part of this song that we playing. No, I'm

2656
02:12:49,840 --> 02:12:51,359
not play it right now, but what I use it?

2657
02:12:51,399 --> 02:12:53,079
But just play it right now, right now?

2658
02:12:54,159 --> 02:12:54,800
Speaker 2: So awful.

2659
02:12:54,960 --> 02:12:56,159
Speaker 1: Let's let's listen.

2660
02:12:56,279 --> 02:13:00,439
Speaker 2: Listen to how of this is it? Oh wow, I've

2661
02:13:00,479 --> 02:13:07,239
heard this three times? You are big a Paul McCartney fan.

2662
02:13:07,319 --> 02:13:12,000
Speaker 1: I am, I hear this.

2663
02:13:12,119 --> 02:13:14,239
Speaker 2: I'm like, I cannot to the concession stand fast.

2664
02:13:14,079 --> 02:13:22,600
Speaker 1: Enough fine for me? Someone strong? Sweet, that's enough. I'm done.

2665
02:13:22,880 --> 02:13:27,039
That's good. Yeah, that den And I tell you guys, yeah,

2666
02:13:27,279 --> 02:13:28,760
but Matt, you say some songs are good and we

2667
02:13:28,760 --> 02:13:30,760
don't like them, but this was. This is a good judgment.

2668
02:13:31,079 --> 02:13:32,119
Speaker 2: Thank you for once.

2669
02:13:32,640 --> 02:13:34,279
Speaker 1: So by the way, if any of you ever get

2670
02:13:34,880 --> 02:13:36,760
say mean things about me, I'm sending you the YouTube

2671
02:13:36,840 --> 02:13:38,319
version of this song so you can listen to it

2672
02:13:38,399 --> 02:13:44,359
in in symphony. Oh god, I'm benna bad.

2673
02:13:44,479 --> 02:13:44,800
Speaker 4: That's right.

2674
02:13:44,880 --> 02:13:45,039
Speaker 13: Yeah.

2675
02:13:45,039 --> 02:13:47,399
Speaker 1: The Roughnecks were five and oh and then the COVID hit.

2676
02:13:48,560 --> 02:13:51,279
But they came back the next year, right, I mean no,

2677
02:13:51,319 --> 02:13:54,039
they didn't come back till twenty twenty three, and they

2678
02:13:54,119 --> 02:13:57,039
really weren't really the right building. Someone met them. Yeah,

2679
02:13:57,359 --> 02:13:59,399
but I think that I think they just just butchered

2680
02:13:59,439 --> 02:14:02,760
the merger. COVID said, we're good, all right. Seven one

Speaker 1: Rockets Tonight, Rockets, Bucks Tomorrow night, Rockets, Jazz Friday, and

2708
02:15:21,600 --> 02:15:26,720
then two very intriguing West Coast games. Now Golden State's terrible,

2709
02:15:27,359 --> 02:15:29,399
which is hard to say because we you never want

2710
02:15:29,439 --> 02:15:30,760
to say the word terrible in front of Golden Stea

2711
02:15:30,760 --> 02:15:32,920
because the always still beat you. Oh yeah, how that happened?

2712
02:15:32,960 --> 02:15:34,960
How that work out? And then Rockets like game you

2713
02:15:35,000 --> 02:15:37,560
don't want to mean anything will be the Phoenix Suns.

2714
02:15:37,600 --> 02:15:39,279
You want to win that because you want to get

2715
02:15:39,319 --> 02:15:42,079
into the four or five spot in the West, but

2716
02:15:42,199 --> 02:15:43,840
you also do not want the Suns to try to

2717
02:15:43,880 --> 02:15:47,600
creep up and take your six spot. Forty two and

2718
02:15:47,720 --> 02:15:50,000
thirty three Phoenix Suns. What's the latest on Jalen Green?

Speaker 19: So I've been listening. I've been listening to you for

2753
02:17:37,040 --> 02:17:38,200
a very long time, my friend.

2754
02:17:38,360 --> 02:17:38,639
Speaker 1: Thank you.

2755
02:17:40,159 --> 02:17:43,760
Speaker 19: Yeah, and you're a beautiful, bald hated man.

2756
02:17:43,840 --> 02:17:46,239
Speaker 2: Die get there very much means a lot.

2757
02:17:48,840 --> 02:17:48,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

2758
02:17:49,120 --> 02:17:52,120
Speaker 19: The Houston Rockets right now, they're in the sixth seed

2759
02:17:52,200 --> 02:17:54,600
in the Western Conference. They are, and I don't feel

2760
02:17:54,639 --> 02:17:55,159
good about that?

2761
02:17:55,479 --> 02:17:57,040
Speaker 2: Why can't Why don't you feel Why do you feel

2762
02:17:57,040 --> 02:17:57,479
bad about it?

2763
02:18:00,479 --> 02:18:10,360
Speaker 19: Because if the Phoenix Suns will catch you at the

2764
02:18:10,440 --> 02:18:13,159
number six position, you be at the number sixth position,

2765
02:18:14,600 --> 02:18:19,000
and I feel really not good about it.

2766
02:18:19,440 --> 02:18:21,559
Speaker 1: I would say, I mean, I would not say there's

2767
02:18:21,600 --> 02:18:23,559
a zero percent chance at the Rockets dropping a seven,

2768
02:18:23,600 --> 02:18:24,840
but I would say it's very minimal.

2769
02:18:24,920 --> 02:18:28,079
Speaker 2: The Rocket schedule in the next two weeks is not

2770
02:18:28,360 --> 02:18:28,959
very difficult.

2771
02:18:29,159 --> 02:18:32,920
Speaker 1: And even though there is not a great hope they

2772
02:18:32,920 --> 02:18:35,120
can get to four, they can certainly get to five.

2773
02:18:35,399 --> 02:18:38,040
It would take them having a decent sized losing streak

2774
02:18:38,079 --> 02:18:40,520
to hit the six. And I'm telling you they've got

2775
02:18:40,600 --> 02:18:44,799
Memphis still, They've got Milwaukee still, they have Utah still.

2776
02:18:44,879 --> 02:18:46,959
Those are three games right there. Those three teams have

2777
02:18:47,120 --> 02:18:51,799
zero interest in winning zero point one percent, says Basketball Reference.

2778
02:18:53,959 --> 02:18:55,520
Speaker 19: Do you think the Rockets can win all three of

2779
02:18:55,520 --> 02:18:55,959
those games?

2780
02:18:56,040 --> 02:19:00,719
Speaker 1: Matt absolutely, absolutely not. They're three dog opponentssolutely. They better

2781
02:19:00,760 --> 02:19:02,360
win all three of those game. They're all trying to tank.

2782
02:19:02,680 --> 02:19:03,360
You can win them.

2783
02:19:06,079 --> 02:19:08,600
Speaker 19: Yeah, I don't like tanking loss. I know it doesn't

2784
02:19:08,639 --> 02:19:09,319
make me feel good.

2785
02:19:09,920 --> 02:19:10,479
Speaker 1: It shouldn't.

2786
02:19:11,200 --> 02:19:13,239
Speaker 19: And I'm very excited about comments.

2787
02:19:13,959 --> 02:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Good good, they're coming back. Yeah, we had their president

2788
02:19:16,120 --> 02:19:18,280
earlier today, so it'd be ready for twenty twenty seven.

2789
02:19:18,280 --> 02:19:21,840
Houston Comments dot Com, Houston Comments dot Com. Thanks David

2790
02:19:21,879 --> 02:19:25,360
for the fall call. We appreciate it. Yes. Uh, Basketball

2791
02:19:25,440 --> 02:19:29,239
Reference seating odds zero point one percent for seven. This

2792
02:19:29,399 --> 02:19:32,200
is as of today. Yes, and how do they how

2793
02:19:32,280 --> 02:19:36,600
they have them at six? You're now you're that's a

2794
02:19:36,680 --> 02:19:40,719
grin forty five point seven percent. Okay, Number five thirty

2795
02:19:40,840 --> 02:19:43,120
eight point five percent. So you're saying that's a chance.

2796
02:19:44,520 --> 02:19:48,840
Number four thirteen point one percent, number three two point

2797
02:19:48,879 --> 02:19:49,440
six percent.

2798
02:19:49,600 --> 02:19:50,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So.

2799
02:19:52,120 --> 02:19:53,920
Speaker 1: Who is the favorite to be the number three seat?

2800
02:19:53,920 --> 02:19:56,200
I think I know the answer. That would be the

2801
02:19:56,879 --> 02:19:59,920
Los Angeles Lakers. Do you want their? You want all their?

2802
02:20:00,360 --> 02:20:03,079
Just give me, just give me a person to be third. Okay,

2803
02:20:03,159 --> 02:20:05,639
So the best the most likely outcome.

2804
02:20:07,840 --> 02:20:08,559
Speaker 2: Rockets v.

2805
02:20:08,799 --> 02:20:13,120
Speaker 1: Lakers in Los Angeles for Games one and two. Yes,

2806
02:20:13,200 --> 02:20:15,399
according to the odds, but you're forty five percent to

2807
02:20:15,440 --> 02:20:18,079
be six. So if you add up all the other odds,

2808
02:20:18,079 --> 02:20:20,360
it more likely you'll end up somewhere else. Hopefully five.

2809
02:20:20,600 --> 02:20:23,239
Hopefully four. I think five is within a puncher's chance.

2810
02:20:23,280 --> 02:20:25,079
I mean, because if you have you just beat Minnesota.

2811
02:20:25,120 --> 02:20:26,680
You got Minnesota coming up here the final week of

2812
02:20:26,680 --> 02:20:28,799
the season, you beat them, you're in the five. As

2813
02:20:28,840 --> 02:20:31,239
long as the teams are playing the way there's winning. Yeah,

2814
02:20:31,719 --> 02:20:35,319
just win, baby. I would like a four. I'm gonna

2815
02:20:35,319 --> 02:20:38,319
give you the a load of question. Okay, Rocket's a

2816
02:20:38,360 --> 02:20:44,719
better chance to win a series against a Lakers B Nuggets?

2817
02:20:45,799 --> 02:20:47,319
I didn't count the Wolves because you're kind of fighting

2818
02:20:47,360 --> 02:20:50,479
for their same spot, So I would count the Wolves. Okay,

2819
02:20:50,799 --> 02:20:56,360
I would rather play the Lakers. Here's the reason why

2820
02:20:56,520 --> 02:21:00,920
I am more encouraged by the Lakers. Just don't play

2821
02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:05,559
defense right now. Lucas playing out of his mind like lately,

2822
02:21:05,959 --> 02:21:07,799
he gets different, and you've got no shot. I mean,

2823
02:21:07,840 --> 02:21:10,239
if he's just dropping forty point triple doubles all series,

2824
02:21:10,280 --> 02:21:18,959
what are you gonna do? Yeah, the Lakers defense has improved,

2825
02:21:22,120 --> 02:21:23,959
and they did a good job with the double teaming

2826
02:21:24,040 --> 02:21:26,000
defense against the Rockets, but it wasn't as good the

2827
02:21:26,079 --> 02:21:30,360
second game when Alprin Shingoun was there. Lebron James had

2828
02:21:30,360 --> 02:21:34,120
a twenty point triple double against the Wizards, but we

2829
02:21:34,280 --> 02:21:36,600
had a triple double the night after the Rockets beat

2830
02:21:36,639 --> 02:21:41,239
them in what were they in Miami? Yeah, in Miami. Look,

2831
02:21:41,559 --> 02:21:44,959
I'm not the biggest he might be the greatest basketball

2832
02:21:45,879 --> 02:21:50,719
second Christ, but the the amount of he's lost his

2833
02:21:51,159 --> 02:21:54,520
fastball is ridiculous. He doesn't have it ninety eight on

2834
02:21:54,600 --> 02:21:56,920
the gun using a baseball of an actor, but it's

2835
02:21:56,920 --> 02:21:57,920
still ninety two ninety three.

2836
02:21:57,959 --> 02:22:01,840
Speaker 2: He still gets He's still he still makes place at

2837
02:22:01,959 --> 02:22:03,879
forty one at forty years of age.

2838
02:22:03,879 --> 02:22:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it matters how you define greatest

2839
02:22:06,079 --> 02:22:12,719
basketball player of all time? You define, Yeah, what if

2840
02:22:12,719 --> 02:22:15,000
Michael Jordan had a higher peak but Lebron James had

2841
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:23,920
a better, longer career. The number one argument I always

2842
02:22:23,959 --> 02:22:26,559
hear is that Michael didn't need anybody, And then the

2843
02:22:26,760 --> 02:22:30,040
Lebron Hayters say, well, Michael needed Scottie Pippen, and Michael

2844
02:22:30,079 --> 02:22:33,239
needed Tony Kuko, the greatest Major Dennis Robin, and Michael

2845
02:22:33,280 --> 02:22:35,719
needed Phil Jackson. I think Phil Jackson has a huge point.

2846
02:22:37,079 --> 02:22:40,159
How many different coaches did Lebron win his four championships

2847
02:22:40,200 --> 02:22:46,360
with two with Spultra Spolstra, h one in LA, one

2848
02:22:46,399 --> 02:22:55,200
with Tyron lou one with Frank Vogel. Yes, if I'm

2849
02:22:55,280 --> 02:22:57,200
taking up a if we're lining up a draft and

2850
02:22:57,239 --> 02:22:58,760
I say, you say you're getting this player for his

2851
02:22:58,920 --> 02:23:04,399
entire career, I'll take a Bron over Michael. But that's

2852
02:23:04,440 --> 02:23:06,239
not how I mean. That's that's just one facet of

2853
02:23:06,280 --> 02:23:15,719
the argument. I'm still highest peak. It's Michael Michael. If

2854
02:23:15,760 --> 02:23:18,200
I need one game or one series, it's Michael. I

2855
02:23:18,319 --> 02:23:23,239
need one game, one shot, it's Michael. F I need

2856
02:23:23,319 --> 02:23:26,799
one seven game series. Yeah, it's Michael.

2857
02:23:29,120 --> 02:23:29,280
Speaker 20: Long.

2858
02:23:29,319 --> 02:23:31,879
Speaker 2: Jeopardy does play into it, though, that's why he's number two.

2859
02:23:32,520 --> 02:23:34,479
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's one two and it's not

2860
02:23:34,639 --> 02:23:37,479
even that is not even within question. You won't argue

2861
02:23:37,559 --> 02:23:38,079
flip flop.

2862
02:23:38,120 --> 02:23:38,520
Speaker 6: You can do it.

2863
02:23:38,680 --> 02:23:39,239
Speaker 1: I told you will.

2864
02:23:39,239 --> 02:23:41,120
Speaker 2: Put Kareem in there because we talked about how what

2865
02:23:41,280 --> 02:23:41,399
is it?

2866
02:23:42,200 --> 02:23:42,319
Speaker 6: Was it?

2867
02:23:43,280 --> 02:23:45,479
Speaker 1: Two time national high School Player of the Year, three

2868
02:23:45,559 --> 02:23:47,520
time College Player of the Year, held.

2869
02:23:47,399 --> 02:23:51,000
Speaker 2: The scoring record, and held the scoring record for a decade.

2870
02:23:51,079 --> 02:23:55,360
Speaker 1: Gosh crazy, Hey, he held the scoring record and he

2871
02:23:55,479 --> 02:23:57,319
had to play four years of college. One year he

2872
02:23:57,360 --> 02:23:59,280
couldn't even play as a freshman, and in the next

2873
02:23:59,319 --> 02:24:03,120
three years he won College Player of the Year and

2874
02:24:03,239 --> 02:24:06,879
as a freshman they beat the the senior I do

2875
02:24:07,000 --> 02:24:09,280
believe again, Mount Rushmore, there's three spots that are already

2876
02:24:09,280 --> 02:24:14,639
locked the load. It's the fourth one that rotates. Do

2877
02:24:14,680 --> 02:24:15,920
you think we should get it? Do you think we

2878
02:24:15,959 --> 02:24:18,840
should get a fifth person up on Mount Rushmore? Sush,

2879
02:24:19,200 --> 02:24:23,399
you're so ridiculous, break Are you gonna go carve up

2880
02:24:23,440 --> 02:24:27,120
the mountain? I know it's there's room, is there? I

2881
02:24:27,200 --> 02:24:31,799
mean I haven't been there, but I guess they're probably

2882
02:24:31,879 --> 02:24:34,840
not at the edge of the mountain because I think

2883
02:24:34,920 --> 02:24:37,360
it's too hard to do things in fours. Okay, well

2884
02:24:37,399 --> 02:24:42,559
it's your top say top five Rushmore.

2885
02:24:42,680 --> 02:24:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah we do, No, we don't. It's a beautiful national monument.

2886
02:24:47,360 --> 02:24:51,280
Aftros red Sox tonight again the game will be heard

2887
02:24:51,360 --> 02:24:56,399
on our sister station, news radio seven r H. Astros

2888
02:24:56,479 --> 02:24:59,840
have a day game tomorrow, so again we'll be on

2889
02:24:59,879 --> 02:25:02,040
the year ten to twelve with our show, and then

2890
02:25:02,040 --> 02:25:05,000
I'll do on Deck from twelve to twelve forty uh.

2891
02:25:05,360 --> 02:25:08,760
And then the Astros hit the road for the first

2892
02:25:08,879 --> 02:25:12,239
time this year. They're going out West. If I'm not mistaken,

2893
02:25:12,319 --> 02:25:13,760
let me make sure pulls up properly.

2894
02:25:14,479 --> 02:25:18,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. They go to Sacramento for three, Colorado for three

2895
02:25:18,520 --> 02:25:21,639
and three of the Mariners. So the A's are terrible.

2896
02:25:22,840 --> 02:25:24,959
The Rockies are terrible. Not that you would try to

2897
02:25:25,000 --> 02:25:27,600
get fat and happy early in the season, but why not.

2898
02:25:27,760 --> 02:25:29,959
You can stack some wins. You need to stack some wins.

2899
02:25:31,079 --> 02:25:33,000
It's always nice. The Astros good to put the Rockies

2900
02:25:33,040 --> 02:25:34,799
like six times tire. I mean they almost like five

2901
02:25:34,879 --> 02:25:39,040
winners and keeping on these a's they can hit. I

2902
02:25:39,079 --> 02:25:41,360
don't know how they started the season off oh and

2903
02:25:41,440 --> 02:25:43,520
four they're all, yeah, they're not off to a great start.

2904
02:25:44,319 --> 02:25:52,280
They're due whipped up by the Blue Jays and lost

2905
02:25:52,319 --> 02:25:54,639
their first game of the series against the Braves. Yep,

2906
02:25:55,520 --> 02:25:59,799
but yeah, Colorado is typically terrible. Uh in Seattle four

2907
02:26:00,079 --> 02:26:02,959
Seattle Rapper. That's a long ass trip. That's ten games,

2908
02:26:03,760 --> 02:26:07,559
a lot of pret diem. I mean, just thinking that

2909
02:26:07,600 --> 02:26:10,600
out loud. I'm always pocket watching. I'm not pocket watching.

2910
02:26:10,680 --> 02:26:18,120
Pocket appreciate. Okay, just get some wins, get some some

2911
02:26:18,360 --> 02:26:21,479
length out of your starters like you got yesterday. That's nice.

2912
02:26:22,639 --> 02:26:23,840
Speaker 2: Oh I got a scenario that happened.

2913
02:26:23,920 --> 02:26:26,000
Speaker 1: But I know quality start plus is coming for for

2914
02:26:26,120 --> 02:26:28,600
Hunter Brown, so I'm excited about it. Explain what that

2915
02:26:28,680 --> 02:26:31,440
is because you created that metric yourself. Now, remember I

2916
02:26:31,639 --> 02:26:36,079
created a metric two years ago. Yes, expected sex Average,

2917
02:26:38,239 --> 02:26:41,000
Remember talking about how what what a horrible X beeat

2918
02:26:41,040 --> 02:26:43,840
what the ridiculous XP calling it x l A oh

2919
02:26:43,920 --> 02:26:46,280
expected late average. Yeah. You know who's on board with

2920
02:26:46,319 --> 02:26:50,159
you hates XBA Adam Wexler, wex hates it. Yeah, I

2921
02:26:50,200 --> 02:26:52,559
would have thought Clant would have hated it. Well, probably Clant,

2922
02:26:52,639 --> 02:26:56,399
I know, I know Clant hates it. Wex says too good.

2923
02:26:57,000 --> 02:26:59,200
So I've got somebody that's like a math nerd on

2924
02:26:59,239 --> 02:27:02,120
my side. Well, well you gotta call him. Well, I

2925
02:27:02,239 --> 02:27:05,200
agreed immediately, didn't. Oh he's fine, he knows, he understands

2926
02:27:05,239 --> 02:27:10,040
his own life. XPA is not everything, it's just something

2927
02:27:10,799 --> 02:27:17,959
a little. It's the lettuce on the sandwich. No, I

2928
02:27:18,040 --> 02:27:24,200
think lettuce. That's that's a big add on. Ops, that's

2929
02:27:24,399 --> 02:27:30,280
your that's your burger, it's your meat. Okay, walk great cheese,

2930
02:27:31,360 --> 02:27:34,520
strikeout right, But no, where's your slug? You're right, well

2931
02:27:34,559 --> 02:27:42,799
it's it's an ops. Okay, it's true. Well, uh, I

2932
02:27:42,879 --> 02:27:45,239
don't know where to go. What were we talking about?

2933
02:27:45,280 --> 02:27:45,639
Speaker 8: Go ahead?

2934
02:27:47,319 --> 02:27:50,280
Speaker 1: Oh, I was watching the TV brought your x l A.

2935
02:27:50,360 --> 02:27:53,040
We were talking about that expecting laying average. Yeah, and

2936
02:27:54,000 --> 02:27:57,000
Clinton always says his higher than it really was. I

2937
02:27:57,040 --> 02:28:03,799
don't know if I believe him. You do believe him? Yes,

2938
02:28:04,079 --> 02:28:09,959
he's a player that he was. He's happen years, ten years. Gosh,

2939
02:28:10,159 --> 02:28:11,079
I lost the over runner.

2940
02:28:11,399 --> 02:28:11,680
Speaker 6: I remember.

2941
02:28:11,760 --> 02:28:13,280
Speaker 2: I remember when they first started dating.

2942
02:28:13,959 --> 02:28:16,120
Speaker 1: They would walk around the offices and they were just

2943
02:28:16,239 --> 02:28:17,879
like they were trying to hide it, but they really

2944
02:28:17,920 --> 02:28:21,600
couldn't hide it. They were both like sweating profuse Yeah

2945
02:28:22,479 --> 02:28:25,079
to live with each other for a while. Ah, hey,

2946
02:28:25,239 --> 02:28:28,360
ten years of marriage. It's probably more than most of

2947
02:28:28,479 --> 02:28:33,079
shares marriages. Oh, we'll find out coming up during maybe.

2948
02:28:33,840 --> 02:28:37,440
Uh oh, so this is I'm maybe the wrong person

2949
02:28:37,600 --> 02:28:39,920
they have. They spent a lot of time talking about

2950
02:28:39,959 --> 02:28:44,000
the different types of pitches that Lance was throwing when

2951
02:28:44,040 --> 02:28:49,239
he was throwing on the count. To me, it goes

2952
02:28:49,280 --> 02:28:50,239
in one or not the other.

2953
02:28:50,319 --> 02:28:56,040
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't process it. It's it's too much.

2954
02:28:56,120 --> 02:28:58,959
Speaker 1: And I think baseball broadcasts still do this day, even

2955
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:01,600
in twenty twenty six, with all the metrics that are available,

2956
02:29:02,120 --> 02:29:06,120
they still give me. I don't care about the spin rate,

2957
02:29:06,200 --> 02:29:09,079
per se. I don't care what pitch he throws to

2958
02:29:09,200 --> 02:29:11,079
what a hitter in this particular category. I just want

2959
02:29:11,120 --> 02:29:12,559
the pitch to be thrown for a strike and get

2960
02:29:12,600 --> 02:29:15,200
him out. That's when when I watched Lance mccultors yesterday,

2961
02:29:15,760 --> 02:29:17,760
I was happy that he got ahead of hitters. Is

2962
02:29:17,840 --> 02:29:21,239
he getting ahead of hitters? Is he inducing maybe ground balls?

2963
02:29:21,840 --> 02:29:22,120
Speaker 6: Is he.

2964
02:29:23,600 --> 02:29:26,360
Speaker 1: Is the curve is because the curveball getting more strikes

2965
02:29:26,360 --> 02:29:28,079
than the other ones. But it was just it just

2966
02:29:28,159 --> 02:29:30,600
sometimes it gets too much mumbo jumbo, And I think

2967
02:29:30,639 --> 02:29:33,920
that's what baseball does that sometimes does tune people out.

2968
02:29:33,920 --> 02:29:35,520
I think they do a little bit too much sometimes

2969
02:29:35,559 --> 02:29:38,000
on the broadcast. But I mean, I know him. Maybe

2970
02:29:38,040 --> 02:29:40,760
I'm pro. I mean I am in the minority for

2971
02:29:40,799 --> 02:29:42,920
the most part. I like all that stuff. I like

2972
02:29:42,959 --> 02:29:44,879
to I like learning about the sport. I like learning

2973
02:29:44,920 --> 02:29:49,200
more about the sport. I like reading about stuff and

2974
02:29:49,280 --> 02:29:53,399
location and arm angle and all that type of stuff.

2975
02:29:53,959 --> 02:29:54,959
Break I like it.

2976
02:29:55,200 --> 02:29:55,399
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2977
02:29:55,520 --> 02:29:58,040
Speaker 1: My philosophy is keep it simple, stupid. I know, let's

2978
02:29:58,040 --> 02:29:59,719
get a base hit the ball land.

2979
02:29:59,799 --> 02:30:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, strike. You're a traditionalist in many things.

2980
02:30:02,200 --> 02:30:05,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you hate the abs, you hate the numbers. Habi,

2981
02:30:05,360 --> 02:30:08,559
I love the abs. I don't want to you don't

2982
02:30:08,559 --> 02:30:10,959
want Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're more of a traditionalist. Yeah,

2983
02:30:11,159 --> 02:30:13,799
but traditionalist would want v abs under any circumstance. You

2984
02:30:13,840 --> 02:30:15,760
heard that one grumpy Umpire was talking about how he's

2985
02:30:15,760 --> 02:30:17,879
not embarrassed. Years ago, you were more on that side.

2986
02:30:18,120 --> 02:30:20,680
You've come around. Yeah, And that's the thing you have

2987
02:30:20,799 --> 02:30:23,440
to do. If you don't adapt to anything, then you're

2988
02:30:23,639 --> 02:30:26,719
going to be left behind, whether it's your business, whether

2989
02:30:26,799 --> 02:30:30,479
it's the sport that you love. Yes, like, for instance,

2990
02:30:31,479 --> 02:30:33,000
I don't have an answer to this because I never

2991
02:30:33,079 --> 02:30:35,799
brought this up. But in the NBA, to use a

2992
02:30:35,799 --> 02:30:37,879
small example, I don't mind the number three point shots

2993
02:30:37,879 --> 02:30:39,159
being taken. There are a lot of folks that just

2994
02:30:39,319 --> 02:30:43,000
that lose their mind over it. I still say three

2995
02:30:43,079 --> 02:30:44,559
is greater than two. And if I have more guys

2996
02:30:44,600 --> 02:30:46,879
on my floor that can hit threes, I'm gonna win

2997
02:30:46,920 --> 02:30:49,559
a lot more games. The real nass Let's get some more,

2998
02:30:49,600 --> 02:30:51,360
you know what I'm saying, the breed shepherd knocking them down.

2999
02:30:51,399 --> 02:30:54,840
But nineteen ninety four NBA fan, nineteen eighty three NBA fan,

3000
02:30:55,040 --> 02:30:57,200
maybe even two thousand NB fan did not love the

3001
02:30:57,280 --> 02:30:59,079
three because there were too many guys that weren't shooting

3002
02:30:59,079 --> 02:31:03,000
the threes. Well, just generation of players six nine, six, ten.

3003
02:31:03,200 --> 02:31:05,200
And we got one right now in Denver that hits

3004
02:31:05,239 --> 02:31:07,360
seven foot the seven feet tall that hits three point

3005
02:31:07,440 --> 02:31:10,840
shots in regularity, making him one of the grest players

3006
02:31:11,000 --> 02:31:14,520
in the NBA, making him a two time MVP, and

3007
02:31:14,559 --> 02:31:15,879
probably in the end they're gonna ma him one of

3008
02:31:15,920 --> 02:31:19,520
the ten greatest players ever to play the sport. So

3009
02:31:19,719 --> 02:31:22,920
I I do like some things that are that change

3010
02:31:22,959 --> 02:31:24,959
the sport. Well, especially here in Houston. We were at

3011
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:26,959
the forefront. We were in the frontier of the of

3012
02:31:27,079 --> 02:31:30,159
the three point revolution. I love technology, I love I

3013
02:31:30,280 --> 02:31:32,879
love instant replay. I can't get enough instant replay. I

3014
02:31:32,920 --> 02:31:35,280
want more instant replay. I want more instant replaying basketball

3015
02:31:35,959 --> 02:31:38,799
because unfortunately we don't. We do too many challenges in

3016
02:31:38,840 --> 02:31:41,000
the first quarter that I don't don't love. That's fine,

3017
02:31:41,040 --> 02:31:42,879
I mean, yeah, I would say, if you're doing the

3018
02:31:42,920 --> 02:31:44,639
first quarter, just make sure you're one hundred percent. You

3019
02:31:44,680 --> 02:31:47,200
got to make sure you're a hundred percent. And I

3020
02:31:47,280 --> 02:31:49,159
know that every basket means the same, but damn, I

3021
02:31:49,200 --> 02:31:51,639
don't want to. I love holding on my challenges to

3022
02:31:51,719 --> 02:31:55,799
the very last second. I know, and I do believe

3023
02:31:55,799 --> 02:31:57,600
it will eventually see that with baseball too, I think

3024
02:31:57,600 --> 02:32:01,680
we should. I think the unless it is so ridiculous,

3025
02:32:01,920 --> 02:32:05,120
hold your your ball strike challenges for later in the contest.

3026
02:32:06,040 --> 02:32:11,719
It doesn't necessarily mean more but storyline intangibles. Yeah, and

3027
02:32:11,799 --> 02:32:14,760
anighthingning at bat with two on, josel two bag gets

3028
02:32:14,760 --> 02:32:16,440
called out rung up on strikes and he thought it

3029
02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:18,879
was a ball. I got one of my back back pocket.

3030
02:32:18,879 --> 02:32:21,120
I'm happy now. The only difference in basketball and baseball

3031
02:32:21,280 --> 02:32:23,280
is in baseball if you challenge something in the first

3032
02:32:23,319 --> 02:32:25,520
inning and you win, you get to keep your challenges.

3033
02:32:25,920 --> 02:32:28,639
In the NBA, you get two and that's it, and

3034
02:32:28,719 --> 02:32:31,040
that that's that's hard for me, and I wish it

3035
02:32:31,079 --> 02:32:34,000
would change that. They need a system like what the

3036
02:32:34,159 --> 02:32:37,799
NFL did to where they're fixing stuff almost in real time.

3037
02:32:40,200 --> 02:32:42,280
You're like, all, we're hearing from my guy, remember, don't

3038
02:32:42,280 --> 02:32:43,840
they They're like, oh they what are they?

3039
02:32:43,959 --> 02:32:46,559
Speaker 2: Interview assist?

3040
02:32:46,719 --> 02:32:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

3041
02:32:47,159 --> 02:32:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, replay assists or whatever they're called, whatever they call it.

3042
02:32:50,239 --> 02:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they need. They need. They need a

3043
02:32:53,120 --> 02:32:59,280
dedicated crew. I mean, you need maximum fifteen people. How

3044
02:32:59,360 --> 02:33:02,079
many knights? Is are all? Is every all thirty teams?

3045
02:33:03,040 --> 02:33:06,000
Speaker 2: Is that in the NBA replay centator something there's two

3046
02:33:06,079 --> 02:33:08,920
bros and something there's like five or six. Let's get

3047
02:33:08,959 --> 02:33:12,319
home all in there, come on your multi billion dollar corporation.

3048
02:33:13,360 --> 02:33:15,760
Speaker 1: I guess it's depending on the number of games. If

3049
02:33:15,799 --> 02:33:17,000
you want to improve, at least do it for the

3050
02:33:17,040 --> 02:33:19,639
playoffs or something. Playoffs, I guess you need fewer guys

3051
02:33:19,639 --> 02:33:21,200
in there in that first round. You got a lot

3052
02:33:21,200 --> 02:33:23,280
of games going. All right, let's play believe or not?

3053
02:33:23,360 --> 02:33:25,879
All things about share seven one, three, two, one two

3054
02:33:26,000 --> 02:33:27,719
five seven. Oy, she's a goddess and we love her

3055
02:33:28,040 --> 02:33:32,440
seven one three two one two five. That question wasn't believage.

3056
02:33:32,600 --> 02:33:35,399
I like her seven one three two one two five

3057
02:33:35,520 --> 02:33:40,040
