1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:14,039
Speaker 1: Is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten.

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,039
Speaker 2: A clock straight up here on Sports Talk seven ninety

3
00:00:14,199 --> 00:00:19,480
l And welcome in to the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

4
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,239
Without Matt Thomas. He is traveling with your Houston Rockets,

5
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,280
who got a win last night, their first of the

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,000
season against the Brooklyn Nets. He will be out today

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,799
and Thursday as it is the start of NBA season, folks,

8
00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:37,000
which means Matt will be out on the road, also

9
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,359
missing some days here and there. But the Rockets getting

10
00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:43,240
the win last night, so that is good news. In

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,759
his stead, we will have Adam Clanton hanging out in

12
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:48,600
the one o'clock hour, and I convinced him to hang

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,840
out for a little bit longer.

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 3: Four hours of the morning is not enough. Chris Gordy

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,759
is hanging out for a little bit. I appreciate you,

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,840
mister Gordy. Sure thing, let's do it. Yeah, yeah, you see,

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,359
he sounds super enthusied, folks. So you want to get

18
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:03,719
in you can't. Seven one three two one two five

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,519
seven ninety is the phone number? Seven one three two

20
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,040
one two five seven ninety.

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,439
Speaker 1: All right?

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,159
Speaker 3: Can we change this? We have an awful situation unfolding.

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,640
I've been actually something. You know, you click on like

24
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:16,560
one thing and then it ends up in your four

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,239
utab for like the next six months. I clicked on

26
00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:23,599
one the video about the hurricane Melissa, which unfortunately is

27
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,000
battering Jamaica with like one hundred and eighty five miles

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,519
an hour of wind, the third most intense hurricane in

29
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,519
the Atlantic.

30
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:35,599
Speaker 2: Drop ever dropped under nine hundred millibars.

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, whatever that means. I know it's bad, but

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,599
I don't know what the thresholds are. I have no

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,920
context for how bad it is. But apparently like the

34
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:43,920
third worst in history.

35
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 4: It basically becomes one of the five most strongest landfalling

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,719
hurricanes in Atlantic.

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,719
Speaker 3: Okay, well, uh, prayers out to our good friends in

38
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:56,159
Jamaica because it does not look like a good situation.

39
00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:59,480
And this, this is just depressing me. I mean that

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,239
the I had that hurricane. This looks so how can

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,480
it look so menacing when it's just a cloud formation?

42
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,239
I don't know, this does not look good. Okay, I

43
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:09,039
got to change this off the TV. So I don't

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,719
want to be thinking about depressing things that are happening.

45
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:13,960
But unfortunately, I mean, that is the way of the world.

46
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:15,919
Whether you want to bury your head in the sand

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,159
or not. Let's put on sports and watch the Dodgers World.

48
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,919
We're on a first take. Well, actually, I do want

49
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,879
to talk about that. Of course, I know you didn't

50
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,360
catch much of it. How much did you catch Gordy

51
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,280
before you knotted off?

52
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: I fell asleep in extra inning, so it was like

53
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,199
the tenth or eleventh, and I woke up around twelve forty.

54
00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: And could not believe that that game was still going on.

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: Still going on. It went on to like two a am.

56
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,639
I was okay. Normally I'm like a night out anyways,

57
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,280
I'll be honest with you, folks. I usually fall asleep

58
00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:48,639
between like midnight and one depending, but sometimes I'll stay

59
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,719
up a little bit later if I can't sleep. But

60
00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,439
I just I was too invested. I watched that entire

61
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,439
I watched the entire game. It was got over like

62
00:02:56,479 --> 00:03:01,199
two am. I get to the point nobody scoring just end.

63
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,319
I don't even like Oh, don't get me wrong, I

64
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:07,120
hate the Dodgers and I want him to lose. But

65
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,159
every time the Blue Jays got three outs, I was like,

66
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:12,120
all right, whatever, just in this this something. And then

67
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,599
finally Fredie Freeman walked it off in the eighteenth inning,

68
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:20,360
eighteen innings, eighteen innings. I mean, and you enjoyed that.

69
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,199
I'm not gonna say I enjoyed it. I just like

70
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,599
I said, I was like pot committed. I'm like, I

71
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560
can't miss some crazy walkoff moment and I can't go

72
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:28,879
to bed.

73
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: I don't know why.

74
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: And then there was a couple of almost walk off

75
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:33,960
home runs.

76
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,199
Speaker 2: It did make me laugh. To Dodgers fans were like.

77
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,599
Speaker 1: Oh, will Smith dig the last center?

78
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, every the morning track, Tom Barshaw camping under it.

79
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:46,000
He's pitched a tint, he's got a fire building, he's

80
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,719
hanging out. It's a can of corn. Shut obamass up,

81
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:49,439
Dodgers fans.

82
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 4: But Otani homered in the seventh and we had to

83
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,680
then go eleven innings before it.

84
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: With double homer, double homer, and got intentionally walked four times.

85
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:03,879
Speaker 2: Well, he walked five times in the game.

86
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: And then he walked again when they finally pitched to him.

87
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:10,240
It was really an unintentional, intentional walk. They pitched around him.

88
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,680
He he he did not see a strike in that

89
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,439
at bat. I don't believe. I think it was four

90
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:19,759
straight balls. So yeah, it it was insane, and folks,

91
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,560
we're gonna have to have a serious conversation at some

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,040
point this day, Like, I understand we hate the Dodgers,

93
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,680
but Shoho Tani is an absolute force of nature. I mean,

94
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,560
I mean people are arguing, I mean, and I'm listening

95
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:35,079
to the argument already arguing like the greatest athlete in

96
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:39,439
the history of American sports except for this dude, Victor

97
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,600
winbin Yama, who's with the San Antonio Spurs.

98
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,319
Speaker 2: And we hate the San Antonio Spur.

99
00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: So I actually, at some point on the show, I

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,399
do want to have a discussion with folks, like how

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,959
much can we like appreciate this greatness that we're seeing,

102
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,399
but but how much do we have to hate them

103
00:04:57,519 --> 00:04:59,560
and not accept how good they are because they play

104
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,079
with the Doge and the Spurs two different sports, two

105
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,319
different forces of nature, and two different basically. I mean,

106
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,480
at least Victor women Yama has got a ways to go.

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,560
But as far as talent, one of the all time

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,879
greats and Shoe Tani already one of the all time.

109
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,759
Speaker 4: Shoyotani wasted one, two, three, four, five, six years with

110
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,639
the Los Angeles Angels. Yeah, no playoffs in two seasons

111
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:26,759
and with the Dodgers two postseason runs. He has twenty

112
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,879
six career walks already. Oh my god, a few more

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,800
that'll vult him into the top twenty five all time.

114
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,000
Because I had to look it up. Chipper Jones and

115
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Many Ramirez tied for the most postseason walks ever with

116
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,399
seventy two. Well show he's at twenty six in two

117
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:43,560
postseasons so far.

118
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,199
Speaker 3: Huh, how many is Josel two a half? He's gotta

119
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:49,480
be a way up there. Let's see walking times. Alex

120
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:51,279
Bregman is gonna say, you know what that was the

121
00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:53,279
next number name. I was gonna say, Bregman's got to

122
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:53,680
be close.

123
00:05:54,439 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 4: Josel T Joseel Twov's fourteenth with forty three. Okay, Bregman's

124
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:02,959
got fifty six. Top ten, Yeah, that makes sense.

125
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: Okay.

126
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 4: The other ones after Chipper Jones and man Rameiroz just

127
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:08,399
named a Yankee, Bernie Williams, sorry, pasodic Derek Jeter.

128
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek Jitta the greatest, the greatest of all time

129
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,600
or most overrated of all time. So you had that

130
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:20,399
an eighteen inning World Series game last night, and you

131
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,839
have I mean, the Monday night football was going on.

132
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: Yep, where Travis Kelcey tied one Longhorn Priest Holmes for

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,240
most touchdowns. She's by a chief most touchdowns and chief history.

134
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah okay, I mean Priest Holmes really only had a

135
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:40,879
few good years, but he was awesome. Oh dude, he

136
00:06:40,959 --> 00:06:42,560
was like the He didn't he have like a twenty

137
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,199
plus touchdown year or something like that.

138
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: Well, that's why he's the He was the all time leader.

139
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,639
That's why he's up there. Uh yeah, so okay, you

140
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,240
got that going on. It was a crazy sports night.

141
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,600
You had Monday Night football, you had World Series, you

142
00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:57,600
had the Rockets playing It's got off the snide, and

143
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,680
you had a game against Uh it was the Caveliers

144
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,560
and Pistons were on Peacock like it was for the

145
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,879
the end of October. Yeah, it was a nice little

146
00:07:06,879 --> 00:07:08,120
sports heaven night last night.

147
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 4: Years lots of people are saying, like, this is the

148
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,040
best time of year if you're just a sports fan,

149
00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:15,040

151
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: I've been telling Matt for years that he needs to

00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,519

00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:52,600
you can just get a chrome cast, which you can

169
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,519
get usually for just if it's.

170
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:55,079
Speaker 2: Not that much.

171
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: And also, yeah, I have three TVs in my living

172
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,879
room and then I bring them one from my bedroom.

173
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,680
Things are really getting Harry and I gotta put four TVs.

174
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,279
Speaker 4: On, but I had to do five because the freaking

175
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:06,480
Aggie's going to overtime in Mississippi state.

176
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,879
Speaker 3: Oh, I know when you're trying to you're trying to

177
00:08:08,959 --> 00:08:11,000
jockey the TVs and one goes into overtime.

178
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I like that.

179
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,439
Speaker 4: It's a great shot of what's this girl's name Jessica

180
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,160
Mendoza on ESPN. Great shot of the air vents inside

181
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,920
her La Hotel. Yeah, it doesn't look like they're shocking

182
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,600
her up in a nice place. I think she's in

183
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,399
a she it looks like she's in.

184
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: The red roof inn.

185
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Holiday.

186
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, she's not. That's not a holiday.

187
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:29,920
That's too dingy.

188
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: But I'm just like, they can't send him with like

189
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,759
a little roll up backdrop to put behind him.

190
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: They can't.

191
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: They can't dust off that great see the whole background

192
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,879
of the hotel. Yeah, she needs to tell the housekeeper

193
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:42,320
to dust off that air vent. This does not look safe.

194
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:46,200
Jessica Mindoza is gonna get Meso Thelioma in in Los Angeles.

195
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 4: You know we gotta start doing we got we got

196
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,600
cameras in here. Yes, I think we need to start

197
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:52,840
streaming the show. When Matt's on the road and see

198
00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:53,799
his hotels.

199
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: That okay with him, You're like streaming us. He's got

200
00:08:57,639 --> 00:08:58,279
to bring a camera.

201
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: No, because he does, he's gonna have put on clothes.

202
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,200
He's not gonna be happy about that unless you unless

203
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,639
you want to see back hair. I didn't need the

204
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:09,399
picture that at all, well, guess what it just happened,

205
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:10,399
and I'm sorry.

206
00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 2: Well, they stayed some nice hotels.

207
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually, no, they're in some they're in fire. It's

208
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:18,399
literally in the collective bargaining agreement with the NBA, they

209
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,039
cannot be anything worse than five star I think like

210
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,279
something like that. So the Rockets, some cities only have

211
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,360
one or two Rockets, will not be in the Toronto

212
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,480
Extended Stay. No, they will not. It's not in the

213
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,440
nineteen seventies. They fought for that. Back in the day.

214
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,440
It was like Wilt Chamberlain and the boys were like, no,

215
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,519
we're not staying in these these chump hotels anymore. So

216
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:39,240
now they're in nicer hotels in the NBA that's collectively boredn't.

217
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: Until recently w NBA still flying commercial? Are they not still?

218
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,399
Speaker 3: Or did Kaitlin Clark kind of help everybody out? Are

219
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,279
they going to name that league after Caitlin Clark, by

220
00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:51,200
the way, they need to, I mean they that's called

221
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:53,799
the Caitlyn Clark Basketball Association.

222
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: It's called Caitlyn Clark and everyone else who hates her,

223
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,240
nobody else likes.

224
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are a lot of girls who are jealous,

225
00:09:59,879 --> 00:10:01,200
but there are a lot of girls who respect what

226
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,720
she's done for them as well in the league, I think.

227
00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:04,159
Speaker 1: All right.

228
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: Anyways, so yes, the Rockets get the victory last night

229
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:10,960
to the Brooklyn over the Brooklyn Nets, one thirty seven

230
00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:12,960
to one oh nine. A couple of things that I

231
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,639
like from the by doing this right, Tarry Easton, pay

232
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,399
the man, pay the bad ros with every aster, every.

233
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: Time they have a big game.

234
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: No, we're not doing pay that. No, people were already doing.

235
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,519
Tarry Easton.

236
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,759
Speaker 3: Gotta go Tarry Easton, Easton, ride the bench. I mean,

237
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,960
you know you know this, Gordy too, because you've been

238
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,159
in this business a long time. We were we have

239
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,759
been in the microwave generation. And you're seeing this right

240
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:38,000
now with coaches right like like Fire Brian Kelly, Fire

241
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,080
James Franklin. They were just literally in the semi finals

242
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,679
of the playoff. It's the it's the now now now, gimme, gimme,

243
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:47,600
gimmey instant gratification generation.

244
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: But it's like even worse.

245
00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:52,759
Speaker 3: Two games into the Rocket season, people like you can't

246
00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:55,879
extend Tarry Easton. This is this is horrible. You you

247
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:58,559
you gotta get this guy off man, Tarry Easton bet

248
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,960
on himself turning down this dockets money. That was a

249
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:01,759
huge mistake.

250
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: Like, dude, it's two games into the season.

251
00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,039
Speaker 3: How do we not how do we not recognize that

252
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:12,799
as people who have been sport. Even if you're the

253
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,080
youngest sports fan on the planet and you're eighteen years old,

254
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,480
you still have some perspective. You've probably been watching sports

255
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,679
for five six years. You've got to understand one game

256
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,720
does not a season make even a handful of games.

257
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: And then if we get into.

258
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: Baseball oftentimes, like we're talking about, how fifty games isn't

259
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,799
sometimes a significant sample, yet it still happens. It's a

260
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,120
trap that we fall into, how everybody's the worst and

261
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,879
everybody's the best week to week. It's ridiculous. But yes,

262
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,039
Tari Easton with a very good game. He was five

263
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,399
to seven from three. He had twenty two points to

264
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,279
lead the Rockets in scoring off the bench. I was

265
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,759
encouraged about that, and then I was also really encouraged

266
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,360
by the performance from one other Houston Rocket. We'll talk

267
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:57,679
about that on the other side. We have a lot

268
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,120
of stuff to get to. I do want to talk

269
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,399
to you guys about show. Tani and Victor Wiman Yama.

270
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:04,120
How much do you hate them because they're with rivals

271
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,600
of your respective teams in here in Houston? How much

272
00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:09,600
do you appreciate what they bring to the table, Rockets,

273
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:11,879
any observations you want to make there? Of course, the

274
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:14,759
Texans get the victory over the San Francisco forty nine ers.

275
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,799
Anything y'all want to get to. We also have gut

00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:20,440

to the Matt Thomas Show with Ross without Matt Thomas.

284
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,399
He is out traveling with the Houston Rockets. They're in Toronto. Hey,

285
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,519
I heard he got held up in customs like Dave Roberts,

286
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:50,480
so hopefully everything's okay over there. I don't know what

287
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,080
he was trying to smuggle in or Okay, maybe I

288
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,919
made that up. Uh did you see that? Dave Roberts

289
00:12:56,159 --> 00:12:57,879
talking about how we got held up, and he's like,

290
00:12:57,919 --> 00:12:59,679
I don't know if there was any intent there.

291
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,879
Speaker 4: Well, somebody said it's uh the government shutdown, and I

292
00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:06,320
guess it's all taken a little extra time.

293
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,399
Speaker 1: So what can you police?

294
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: Have a little patience and Kave Robinson like I got

295
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,679
time for this?

296
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 3: Well that was always wondering though. But they were in Canada.

297
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:16,919
They're not shut down in Canada. He means when they landed,

298
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,720
they they were running in to some issues with customs.

299
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:21,279
I guess you gotta go through. Yeah, because because those

300
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,759
people so they're still shut down, they're working without pay.

301
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 5: Correct, Is that what's happening right now? I have a

302
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,759
homew as a TSA agent.

303
00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:34,919
Speaker 2: He's oh, he is a ts pissed oh man, that's see,

304
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,799
speaking of things we.

305
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: Don't really need to, all right, no more about the

306
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:42,000
Jamaican hurricane and no more about the government shutdown. Folks

307
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,039
bury our heads in the sand. That's what we do here.

308
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,440
We talk sports on Sports Talk. Seven ninety seven one

309
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,799
three two two five seven ninety is the phone number

310
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:52,000
if you want to get in seven one three two

311
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:55,519
one two five seven ninety. Yes mentioned Tarry Easton leading

312
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,639
the way for the Houston Rockets with twenty two points

313
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:04,360
also off the bench, a very impressive performance from Reed

314
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,519
Shepherd at twenty four minutes, fifteen points, six of eleven

315
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,519
from the field. He's been knocking down three so far

316
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,080
early in the season, Gordy, But how about eight assists

317
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,320
in only two turnovers. That was nice to see as well.

318
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,080
He's been playing with confidence. You can tell that that

319
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,720
has been certainly something that is being coached into him

320
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,279
and talked about from last year where he definitely just

321
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,440
looked a little pensive, look like he was maybe scared

322
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,919
to make a mistake, not necessarily having full confidence in

323
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,200
his abilities. He's getting to the basket, he's putting up shots.

324
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,919
They haven't been going down consistently yet, but that was

325
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,200
an encouraging performance from.

326
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: Him last night.

327
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Led the team and assists.

328
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's looking like getting a little bit

329
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,320
confident and shooting three. So that's that's the big one,

330
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,720
hit three of them. So yeah, I like his game.

331
00:14:53,799 --> 00:14:56,399
So yeah, a steal like you slapping balls.

332
00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he ripped the ball away from Cam Thomas first. Well,

333
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:02,279
he was like a snatch and grab. It was like

334
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,960
he was ripping some old ladies purse and then he

335
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,720
ran the other way and dunked it in. I'm like,

336
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,000
who is this guy? What is Reed Sheppard doing over here?

337
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:10,759
Speaker 1: This is nice.

338
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,879
Speaker 2: He's an underrated defender.

339
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 4: I mean I watched him at Kentucky and he defended

340
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,120
pretty well. It is funny though, I mean we seeing

341
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,440
him in person the other night at Toya Center was

342
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,799
at the game, like, he just looked. He looks like

343
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,440
a kid that want a contest to go play an.

344
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: NBA game, Like anyways, short shorts and.

345
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,519
Speaker 4: He's got the little boy haircut. Like, he just looks like.

346
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:32,399
Speaker 3: I think he grew the mustache for a little while

347
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,039
to try to look older, but I think it wasn't

348
00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:35,200
working and he shaved it off.

349
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, we have to ask him about that.

350
00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: You get like a fade or just something to look

351
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:41,919
a little bit cooler. He just looks, you know, right,

352
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:44,320
it looks like a college kid that want to contest.

353
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just he looks like he's uh, he's like

354
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:49,399
a pledge. But don't let him like he get bald.

355
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,879
So people like, oh, like, I'm like, this is what

356
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:55,600
he does. Don't act like surprise. Yeah, So the three

357
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:56,720
point shooting so far.

358
00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: Of course, we're dealing with very small sample sizes right

359
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,200
now with this season. We're three games in thirty five

360
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,840
percent from excuse me, forty four percent from three so

361
00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:08,080
far early on in the season, but only twenty seven

362
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,159
percent from the field. But how about a men Thompson

363
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,000
and Reed Shepherd combining for sixteen assists and only two turnovers.

364
00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:17,600
So that was good to see as well for a men.

365
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,039
And you did what you need to do against the

366
00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:23,159
Brooklyn Nets. You got to blow out. You were able

367
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,240
to not have to play your starters very much and

368
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,759
men Thompson only played twenty five minutes, Barsmith Junior only

369
00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:30,440
played twenty four and Durant only played twenty five minutes.

370
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,480
And you got some work for some guys who needed it,

371
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,279
like Tarry Easton, like Reed Shepherd, You got Jayshaun Tate

372
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,600
into the game, like Aaron Holliday got some minutes. Overall,

373
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,919
very good performance and exactly what you wanted to see

374
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:45,799
from the Rockets against a lessonstellar competition. I mean, look,

375
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:47,960
let's be honest, it was like a preseason game last night,

376
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,799
and everybody got their work in.

377
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: So it's still at the end of the day.

378
00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:56,279
Speaker 3: I was pretty happy to what we saw from reed Sheppard,

379
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,879
especially with the assistant turnover ratio. Combining that with the

380
00:16:58,919 --> 00:17:02,919
men Thompson and Encourage early on one and two. Both

381
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,920
games could have gone either way to start the season,

382
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,799
and then you got the easy victory against the Nets.

383
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,759
Speaker 4: Durant twenty five. I mean, I know most people played.

384
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:13,400
I mean, Chin Gun played thirty a Kokie played thirty one.

385
00:17:13,759 --> 00:17:18,039
Durant at twenty five. Is that just situation of where

386
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:20,440
the score was or are they gonna maybe kind of

387
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:22,920
like you see those minutes in some of these kind

388
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,039
of games be twenty two to twenty three.

389
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 3: H Yeah, Men, Tomson only played twenty five. I think

390
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,960
if they'd needed him, they would have played more. They're

391
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,720
gonna be very I think they're gonna be very conscious

392
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:31,839
of it. I'm gonna tell you, I don't think it's

393
00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:35,200
an accident. Yeah, but it's just kind of a I

394
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,960
don't know. I thought initially.

395
00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 4: When they signed him, I thought it was gonna be

396
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,799
a little bit of okay, some rests, some I mean

397
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:42,920
probably back to backs.

398
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. So far, he's playing all three games.

399
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: We asked him when we had him at Rockets Media

400
00:17:49,079 --> 00:17:50,880
Day and he said, my plan is to play all

401
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,480
eighty two and play all forty eight minutes. Obviously that's

402
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,519
not gonna happen, but we'll see. That's how he's preparing

403
00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:58,799
for the season. But I'm gonna guess he's not gonna

404
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:00,519
play back to backs, but I'm not sure. I think

405
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:04,039
it'll be a situation dependent maybe as well. Yeah, depending

406
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:05,920
on where they are in the standings and how things

407
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,599
go later on in the season. So yeah, it's gonna

408
00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:11,200
be an interesting situation to be sure, to kind of

409
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,880
see how it plays out. But they haven't had a

410
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,519
back to back yet, and well, god, they don't have one,

411
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:17,799
I don't think for a couple of weeks. I was

412
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:21,039
looking at the schedule last night. They they've been actually

413
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:23,519
having a pretty easy go of You've had too you

414
00:18:23,559 --> 00:18:25,359
play played on Tuesday, a couple of days off, and

415
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,519
they had Saturday Sunday off.

416
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,599
Speaker 2: It's it's the weekend before Christmas.

417
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 4: They are, ok They're Thursday in New Orleans off, Friday,

418
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:36,880
Saturday in Denver, Sunday in Sacramento.

419
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's a three out of four and then.

420
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 4: They stay out West. They play Tuesday Thursday in La.

421
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: And they might have some NBA Cup games mixed in

422
00:18:46,039 --> 00:18:48,920
somewhere in that stretch. I'm not exactly sure. That's between

423
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,279
December sixth and eighteenth. Yeah, yeah, okay, so we'll see

424
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:54,759
what happens. But yeah, the NBA has been conscious of

425
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:57,160
not having as many back to backs, so that's good,

426
00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:01,480
especially when you have an older star like Kevin Durant.

427
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,720
Seven one three five seven ninety is the phone number

428
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,799
seven one three two seven ninety on The Man Thomas

429
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:09,599
Show with Ross CuPy all on hold early on. I

430
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,559
appreciate you. Also, let's go aad and get after it.

431
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,799
Ruben holding longest is next up?

432
00:19:13,839 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: What's up?

433
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: Ruben? Hey Man?

434
00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 6: Just wanted to discuss the whole Atani thing and you know,

435
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,680
the greatness as opposed to you know, the the gotta

436
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,279
hate the Dodgers.

437
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 3: He is wearing the Dodger blue Man. It doesn't feel right, Ruben.

438
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,079
Speaker 6: It doesn't. It doesn't. And uh, when you're looking at

439
00:19:29,079 --> 00:19:30,319
a player like that, I'm not sure.

440
00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 7: If y'all watch.

441
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,839
Speaker 6: Guardians of the Galaxy, I've seen you before, but you

442
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,559
see that par where they're saying, what do you do

443
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,079
with this? With the little group? Little baby group? Say

444
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,960
it's too adorable to kill, you know, take it to

445
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,599
the tailor. Yeah, that's that's Otani for me. He's he's

446
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,519
a great player. He has, he's all the skills, Like

447
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:48,200
you don't really see this type of player anytime, a

448
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:51,359
generational player. But he's on the Dodgers, and you're just

449
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:55,000
kind of irking yourself every time he does something. You're saying, Fanotani.

450
00:19:55,599 --> 00:19:57,519
But then you got to admire the guy.

451
00:19:58,519 --> 00:19:58,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

452
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,759
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean it's he's a freaking unicorn man and

453
00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:05,720
he's I mean, how are you in the World Series?

454
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,200
Is it eight postseason home runs he has this year?

455
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,559
I think something like that.

456
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 6: Yeah's ridiculous.

457
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: He goes.

458
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 3: One hundred and thirteen miles an hour off the bat,

459
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,240
a double, then he hits a home run, double, home run,

460
00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:20,359
and he gets intentionally walked four times and then walks

461
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:20,720
a fifth.

462
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: I mean, this, this is ridiculous. This is unbelievable.

463
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,799
Speaker 6: What we were telling we were telling the as well

464
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:28,680
as like you start walking the guy, he's like he's

465
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,960
gonna he's gonna smash it, and then you start walking.

466
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:34,240
It's like, okay, four times in a row. It's like

467
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:36,640
this is now we're in the twelve thirteenth, and he's like,

468
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,279
this is embarrassing.

469
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,799
Speaker 7: Just picture the guy over with.

470
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,559
Speaker 3: You know what's crazy too, though, is that they're intentionally

471
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:44,759
walking him four times. And there are two guys who

472
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,599
likely when it's all said and done, will be Hall

473
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,119
of Famers right behind him, Freddy and Mookie Bets and

474
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,039
Freddy Fraeman. There's freaking Hall of Famers right behind him,

475
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:53,519
and they did it four times.

476
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 6: It's more of the lesser of evils perhaps up Oh, Dani,

477
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,920
all the story you hear from the great stories about

478
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
him giving all these gloves away to people in your

479
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,799
head and all the all the little charity things he

480
00:21:06,839 --> 00:21:09,200
does or big charity things he does, just like, oh,

481
00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:11,039
I hate this guy that can't.

482
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he was. He was giving his interpreter

483
00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:15,519
like ten million bucks. That's pretty charitable.

484
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:19,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, that the gambling thing. That's I love how we

485
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:19,960
can bypass.

486
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 2: I want to be Otani's friend.

487
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, just saying you do that and you're golden.

488
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 3: Get a couple of parlays in. All right, thank you,

489
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,319
Rubin appreciates you. Uh yeah, I mean from all accounts

490
00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:33,160
every story you read like he's he's super nice.

491
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: He's very welcoming. There's like, what was it?

492
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,559
Speaker 3: Like Lars Newpar who was playing with Team Japan, talked

493
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:39,359
about how nice he was, how he comes up and

494
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,000
talks to everybody and he's basically like a kid. And

495
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:44,160
then he goes out there.

496
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: On the mount. How does how do those two things jibe?

497
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,279
Speaker 3: Like you think of people like Justin Verlander, who or

498
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,839
Max Schurz or whatever, like these uber competitive pictures who

499
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,119
go out there and need to be nasty on the mound,

500
00:21:57,519 --> 00:21:59,519
and then he's like the sweetest guy ever. And then

501
00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:02,119
he goes in throw six, shutout, hits three bombs.

502
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's ridiculous.

503
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 4: I just think he's gonna he's gonna climb up that

504
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,960
list on just everything, all posts. It's nuts considering you

505
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,880
missed the playoffs for like the first six years of

506
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,680
your career and now you get old taste two year run.

507
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,079
This might be the best two year run of postseason

508
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,519
history in anybody's career. It's just it's insane. It's crazy

509

in a postseason game.

525
00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:09,039
Speaker 3: I mean he was the first one to do eighth

526
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,119
right and maybe even the first one dos seven stupid enough.

527
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:15,279

00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,079
gonna strike him out. That's not what I'm saying.

534
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 4: For eight Mookie bets last night, I'll pitch him to you, sir,

535
00:23:34,759 --> 00:23:35,680
he step into the box.

536
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:37,599
Speaker 1: Don't you think you're feel a little embarrassed?

make them pay at all.

542
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,319
Speaker 2: It's kind of not fair. The top three of maybe

543
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,279
he needs Mookie needs his Apple Watch show.

544
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,799
Speaker 4: Hey Mookie, Freddy J T.

545
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Watkins in the video room.

546
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: MOOKI, Oh did you hear me talk? I talked about

547
00:24:06,039 --> 00:24:06,519
that this morning.

548
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:09,519
Speaker 4: Jay ste the former producer on The Jim Rome Show,

549
00:24:10,279 --> 00:24:13,599
put out a whole tweet on Sunday how George Springer

550
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,039
needed to issue an apology to Dodger.

551
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,519
Speaker 1: Fans they are still so obsessed.

552
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he said, you need to.

553
00:24:20,079 --> 00:24:23,559
Speaker 4: You need to issue a former apology to Dodger fans

554
00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:26,480
coming to Dodger Stadium for cheating in the seventeen World Series.

555
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,200
Oh my god, and we may consider a little remorse

556
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:31,359
for you. But get ready if not, get ready for

557
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,920
some chin music and all this. I'm like, you're gonna

558
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,240
hit him. You're gonna hit him?

559
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: Okay?

560
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: Am I stupid? The whole Carlos Korea. If you don't

561
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:41,640
know the facts, shut the bleep up thing? Was that

562
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,480
they did not do it during the postseason, So.

563
00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 4: That's that was the narrative, and that's what I thought.

564
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,960
Upon digging. There was an LA Times article written a

565
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,759
few years ago that says Manford did say they did cheap.

566
00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: They putting that now.

567
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,839
Speaker 4: They said that the the banging on the trash can

568
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,960
apparently was you couldn't do that because it was so loud.

569
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,960
But there was a whole theorized piece written about that

570
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,839
they think they were whistling, that there were whistles. There

571
00:25:05,839 --> 00:25:09,680
were distinct whistles throughout the posts, and I'm like, good God, like.

572
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: They said that they I mean, okay, obviously we're taking

573
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,480
Carlos Kurry at his word, but he came out pretty

574
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,880
strongly there like yeah, he's like, yeah, we cheated, but

575
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,400
we did not do it during the postseason.

576
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,039
Speaker 2: It was too loud exactly, and go back and watch

577
00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:22,799
those guys.

578
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: Because that's back when Astro's crowds weren't spoiled, but they were.

579
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,519
Speaker 4: But this whole, this whole theorized piece was like, yeah,

580
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,440
I think they resorted to whistling because there's this distinct

581
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,880
whistle when it all speed pictures something. But then you

582
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,319
don't hear and then somebody else retorted like, yeah, it

583
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,279
turns out when the Dodgers were hitting, I heard that

584
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,400
same distinct whistle.

585
00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:39,279
Speaker 1: So what is it?

586
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: Were they cheating for the Dodgers too?

587
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 3: Like, come on, man, yeah, I don't think they were

588
00:25:43,519 --> 00:25:46,599
doing like we keep on getting this, Oh they cheated

589
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,039
us in twenty seventeen.

590
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: The Astros didn't know.

591
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:51,279
Speaker 3: You could argue they maybe they wouldn't have gotten to

592
00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:53,960
the postseason, or they wouldn't have gotten that far whatever,

593
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:55,599
But and they also.

594
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: Won the Game seven? Where was Game seven?

595
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,839
Speaker 2: Playing Christopher Gordy? Yeah, a Dodgers Dodger freaking well, they

596
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,799
think they still had it.

597
00:26:02,839 --> 00:26:04,319
Speaker 1: I mean, there's did you see like that?

598
00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 3: There's like audio of apparently the Dodgers broadcast when the

599
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,480
what was that game? Where the was it Game one

600
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:13,000
or Game two? Where the Blue Jays were teeing off.

601
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: They're like, I don't know it almost is it's a

602
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,079
fifth they know it's coming and.

603
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,599
Speaker 2: Are or harsh ezer did that? Well, that's what somebody said.

604
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,400
Astros were literally in their building.

605
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,839
Speaker 4: Can we just admit they were tipping The Dodgers were

606
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,480
tipping pitches. There was there was no cheating around it.

607
00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:29,799
You were just there.

608
00:26:29,839 --> 00:26:35,079
Speaker 3: There was like Dodgers said, so, uh uh, George Springer

609
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,559
is wearing some kind of watch.

610
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,279
Speaker 2: It's not an Apple Watch. But he got hit.

611
00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:40,799
Speaker 3: When he got hit on the wrist, there's like a

612
00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:43,319
Dodgers fan zooming in on the video, like, hey, look

613
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,240
at this, George Springer's wearing.

614
00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: An Apple Watch.

615
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 3: Guys, unbelievable. Yeah, he's wearing like a fitbitters. And they

616
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,799
called it an ooze or something like that.

617
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: I think, oh, yeah, this guy's this guy tweeted at

618
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:53,440
at Jay.

619
00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 4: Stew you left out or I don't remember, you left

620
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,000
out the part that he is still currently cheating.

621
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,799
Speaker 2: Who's that George Springer? How is it currently cheating?

622
00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:03,279
Speaker 1: Look at the.

623
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: Pictures of the Apple Watch on his wrists? Oh yeah, okay,

624
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:07,759
you found it. Yeah, that's what people are saying, like

625
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:11,240
he's there's visual evidence, sir. Yeah, they're these Dodgers fans

626
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,839
in their tenfoil hats. I mean, get over yourself.

627
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 4: So this is what Jason Stewart tweeted some advice to

628
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:19,119
George Springer as he arrives in LA.

629
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,079
Speaker 2: That's what it is. It's a whoop. Here's what he

630
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:21,480
wrote out.

631
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,079
Speaker 4: He wrote an apology for him to the Dodgers organization

632
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,359
and Dodger fans. I want a first and foremost apologize

633
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,240
to you for my decision to cheat during the twenty

634
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:32,519
seventeen World Series. When Major League Baseball determined in twenty

635
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:34,720
nineteen that my astros used the legal means to cheat

636
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:38,079
during that championship season. I've verbally took accountability, saying I

637
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:41,119
regretted everything I did, but I never took the noble

638
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,839
step and apologized to you directly.

639
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 2: Who wrote this, Bill Plaski.

640
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 4: The twenty seventeen World Series MVP trophy is a symbol

641
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,079
of shame for.

642
00:27:49,079 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: Me, oh my gosh, as it is a reminder.

643
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,759
Speaker 4: I was the best cheater on a team that was

644
00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:57,079
caught cheating. I will never be able to make up

645
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,039
for that. I hope that one day you will be

646
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:03,440
able to forget me. I'm truly sorry, sincerely, George Springer.

647
00:28:03,519 --> 00:28:06,720
That's what Jason Stewart wanted George Springer to tell Dodger fans,

648
00:28:06,759 --> 00:28:10,319
and this guy David responds. I would still despise him,

649
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,759
but that would certainly raise an eyebrow and he would

650
00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:13,440
earn back a.

651
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,279
Speaker 2: Shred of respect.

652
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 3: My god, you earned back a shred of respect. Nobody cares.

653
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,000
Nobody cares what you have to say.

654
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:22,039
Speaker 4: But the only way past fans is the vacate twenty seventeen.

655
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 2: How many years were we gonna do this? It's twenty

656
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,319
twenty five, folks, y'all.

657
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:29,519
Speaker 1: Won last year.

658
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 3: Next comment, Now, twenty twenty was certainly a Mickey Mouse title.

659
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: Next comment, did you write one of these for Rookie?

660
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:35,839
Speaker 8: Or yeah?

661
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: I like here? Hello, Hello, You all cheer when.

662
00:28:39,359 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts goes up there and Van drelichen Is in

663
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:45,920
his book talked about the Dodgers being involved in skin

664
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,680
cheating as well in using illegal means to steal signs.

665
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 4: I am head of Rob Manford pr the Astros were

666
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,119
the only one to do anything or the stapegoat. Don't

667
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,240
believe anything else on any other organization doing anything.

668
00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:03,839
Speaker 3: In seventeen and eighteen. According to Evan Drelich's book Winning

669
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,039
Fixes Everything, teams talking about the Dodgers cheating. We know

670
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:11,119
that the Red Sox did for a fact, The Yankees

671
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,240
did for a fact. Not I only gonna talk about

672
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,119
this is making me upset.

673
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 4: When I was in Dodger it was in Faenway Park earlier.

674
00:29:18,039 --> 00:29:21,759
This year and this Red Sox fan getting into your cheaters. Yes,

675
00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:24,400
some second manager started that, what are you talking about?

676
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: Oh well yeah, I mean.

677
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: The cognitive dissonance is astounding. You have very very easy

678
00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:37,720
examples to point out Red Sox Apple Watch, Red Sox

679
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:42,160
twenty eighteen, the mastermind of the seventeen scandal and the

680
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,400
manager of the eighteen Red Sox Alex Cora fired and

681
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:48,559
Beck in the fold, and somehow still the Astros are

682
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:49,599
the poster boy of this.

683
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 3: How are the Red Sox not the poster boy with

684
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,759
everything that I just laid out because they hit they

685
00:29:54,839 --> 00:29:57,240
bagged on some trash cans instead of using Apple Watch.

686
00:29:57,319 --> 00:29:59,359
Speaker 4: Well the city a Red Sox fan is yelling, Jesu

687
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,599
Sanchez just got to the team, and he's like, Chetera,

688
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:03,279
what about about.

689
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:06,799
Speaker 2: Twenty seventeen Houston Astro Taskar Hernandez. Right now, he played

690
00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:09,519
one game. I think he got hurt on the team.

691
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:11,359
Speaker 1: He was on the team. He's got a ring. You

692
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,200
didn't ask him.

693
00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:15,039
Speaker 2: To take it back because because everybody's like when you

694
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:17,759
when you tell people that they didn't do it, they're like, well, yeah,

695
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:19,680
he should have stopped everyone. He should have stepped up,

696
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,759
he should have said something in the clubhouse.

697
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: And she should.

698
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,319
Speaker 2: He should have told everyone. No, shame on you. We'll

699
00:30:24,319 --> 00:30:29,720
taskar Hernandez didn't do that. We're gonna shame him too. Gordy,

700
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:31,440
I hate you. You gotta be fired up about all this.

00:31:13,599 --> 00:31:18,119
I feel sorry for now. When he was popped earlier

00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:33,559
Speaker 1: I know it.

00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,359
Speaker 7: They were high school sweethearts.

00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: Oh okay in Ohio.

00:31:37,599 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 7: And yeah, yeah up in Cleveland.

723
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:48,519
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, man, Uh go ahead, and uh.

724
00:31:47,599 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 7: Every the kid used to play in the in my

725
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,480
Call to sact every night. Never see him anymore. She

726
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,640

727
00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:00,559
Speaker 1: She owes me money.

728
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,079
Speaker 7: I can't get a hold of her. So there's I

729
00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:05,720
don't know if she was involved in it or what,

730
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:11,519
but there's it's it's really disturbing. I'm looking for for

731
00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:17,759
sale sign going all right, man, hey, as far as

732
00:32:17,759 --> 00:32:24,839
the Dodgers, go ahead, Yeah, look at Cody Bellinger's batting average.

733
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah that's true. You know, thank you bat cheat?

734
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 7: Were they not cheating?

735
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: Well, if you look at one guy's batting average, probably

736
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,000
that isn't going to tell you the whole story, because

737
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:38,839
I mean we can flip that on its head. Of course,

738
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,440
we know that jose Al two vays or whose batting

739
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,920
average went way up in twenty seventeen and went back now,

740
00:32:44,079 --> 00:32:45,920
was like Marlon Gonzales or somebody like that.

741
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,279
Speaker 9: I don't know.

742
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: Uh, But Cody Bellinger, I mean he still had a

743
00:32:50,079 --> 00:32:54,640
lengthy career since. Uh he had a nice bounce back

744
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,160
here with the Yankees actually, and he was good with

745
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,319
the Cubs last year, so I mean the year before anyways,

746
00:32:59,359 --> 00:33:01,319
All right on that, No, we're gonna take quick break here.

747
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,480
Chris Gordy is sitting in for Matt Thomas. I am, uh, well,

00:33:09,599 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I brought that out. He's from Youngstown, Ohio.

751
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,559
That guy said Cleveland. Also apparently he that's his baby mama,

752
00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:18,079
that apparently he had when he was like seventeen eighteen,

753
00:33:18,759 --> 00:33:24,119
and he said the kid. The kid was playing basketball

754
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,079

Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know what the most one of the

780
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:51,719
easy popular costumes I've seen the show. What's that people buying?

781
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,960
It's like a I forget, it's like a hard hat

782
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:58,440
or reflector vest or whatever. It's basically the jewel thiefs

783
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,280
from them.

784
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:01,159
Speaker 2: That's not bad.

785
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 3: And we get a hammer, although I don't know if

786
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,800
they're gonna let you into the club with the hammer.

787
00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:08,800
That could be dangerous. And be careful out there, folks, Halloween,

788
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,840
and be careful out there, uber drivers. It's gonna get

789
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,800
pretty pricey and you're gonna have some crazy folks. Like

790
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:15,840
if you're like an uber driver on Halloween, do you

791
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,360
even do? I mean, that's time to make big fares.

792
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,559
But also people are like getting in there with like

793
00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:23,440
face paint and god knows what else that's true. Yeah,

794
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:25,800
and then you got fake blood. You got fake blood

795
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,119
all over your back seat. That's not good for anybody.

796
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,719
All right, Seven one three two point two five seven

797
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,519
ninety is the phone number you know. Since Gord to

798
00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:33,960
your hanging out, I do want to talk a little

799
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,079
college football. So we were talking about this, uh, like

800
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,360
the the microwave generation, the instant gratification generation, how it's

801
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:42,920
getting even worse and worse and worse.

802
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: And now I mean, are we just careening downhill?

803
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 3: And this is how it's gonna be the new normal

804
00:35:48,039 --> 00:35:51,039
in college football because you have all of these programs.

805
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,199
And I always bring this up with Matt because he's

806
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:55,000
always like, well, if Texas doesn't win a championship in

807
00:35:55,039 --> 00:35:57,519
three years, it's a massive failure. Well yeah, you you

808
00:35:57,639 --> 00:36:01,159
can point to like ten other programs that are saying that. Alabama, Florida,

809
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:06,159
Florida State, LSU. There are like ten to fifteen programs

810
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,039
who say, if we're not winning championships, we're failing. Well,

811
00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:12,519
only one team can win the championship every year. I mean,

812
00:36:12,639 --> 00:36:15,239
that's just how it goes. So you're gonna have all

813
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,400
these programs who are disappointed and you have a team

814
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:22,239
like Penn State that made the semi final and then

815
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,920
now literally six games later, they're they're firing their coach.

816
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 4: But let's back it up a little because James Frankel

817
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:33,079
was given how many years there at at Penn State.

818
00:36:33,639 --> 00:36:36,239
But do you think a lot of really good seasons, Yes,

819
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,599
a lot of ten to eleven win seasons, but go

820
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,400
look up his record against like top ten teams.

821
00:36:41,519 --> 00:36:45,079
Speaker 3: It was something like four and twenty something like. He

822
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,239
could never win the big game. It wasn't great for sure.

823
00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:52,079
And he had he had flet's see one, two, three,

824
00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:55,760
five top ten finishes, okay at Penn State.

825
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 2: But eventually you got to get over the hump.

826
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,519
Speaker 4: And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

827
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,880
twelve seasons, they were never getting over the horse.

828
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,559
Speaker 3: So if you to put somebody else, I mean, it's

829
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:11,559
Penn State. Though, Okay, Penn State isn't in Texas or

830
00:37:11,639 --> 00:37:14,360
Louisiana adjacent to Texas as well, which Louisiana itself, of

831
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,960
course is a fertile recruiting ground. But I mean California,

832
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,920
Florida doing that in at Penn State, I think he

833
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,199
was doing a pretty good job overall. It couldn't have

834
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:25,679
been better, especially in bigger games. Absolutely, But how many

835
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,280
times when he did lose those big games against Ohio

836
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,480
State and Michigan.

837
00:37:29,199 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 1: Did he have did did?

838
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:32,519
Speaker 2: Did people think that he had the best football team?

839
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: Did they?

840
00:37:33,079 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 3: People think that he was making huge mistakes and he

841
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,679
was just a horrible coach, or they got beat by

842
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,679
better football teams. Well, I mean more talented football teams.

843
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,639
I should say as well. How many times in those

844
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:46,760
matchups against Ohio State and Michigan in Oregon, did James

845
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,440
Franklin have the most talented team?

846
00:37:48,639 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 7: Wow?

847
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 4: I mean it's very few. You have talent though, you

848
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,880
had a Saquon Barkley, should have Dual Carter.

849
00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:57,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd some dudes.

850
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 4: And it ain't like you were little old you know,

851
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:03,199
SMU trying to get by like you've had elite talent.

852
00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:05,599
I think that's a pretty fair standard though for a

853
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,159
Penn State because here's everybody's got different standards.

854
00:38:09,519 --> 00:38:10,079
Speaker 1: Alabama.

855
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: The expectation is very real.

856
00:38:11,559 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 4: You're supposed to make the playoff every year and you're

857
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,599
supposed to win a championship once every couple of years.

858
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,920
That's the that's the standards say have been created there.

859
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,840
I think in the second tier, you've got schools in

860
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,079
Ohio State. I probably may even push up there once

861
00:38:24,119 --> 00:38:26,360
every two to three years. The expectations of Ohio State,

862
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,599
we should be playing for it.

863
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: Okay.

864
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,639
Speaker 3: Who else is up there then Georgia probably Georgia's probably

865
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:33,000
three teams said you need to be winning every three years.

866
00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: So I mean that's the only teams that can win

867
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,800
champions I think the next.

868
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:38,519
Speaker 4: Tier is teams that once every four to five years,

869
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,239
we think we should be maybe have a championship caliber team. Okay,

870
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,119
And that's where I put LSU, That's where I put Texas.

871
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:49,239
That's where I put The boosters at Texas will disagree

872
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,119
with you. They think they're in Tier one. I know

873
00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:53,320
they haven't proven that in the last twenty years.

874
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 2: But I mean two semi final runs.

875
00:38:56,679 --> 00:38:59,079
Speaker 3: You're talking about expectations, But what are these boosters who

876
00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:01,440
are pouring millions into the program they think they should

877
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,639
be in that Alabama tier, and I'm talking about guys

878
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:04,199
at Florida.

879
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 2: Buscher's at Florida, but people, I mean, yeah, but no,

880
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:09,000
Florida's in that.

881
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 4: I'd put Florida in that tier with the LSUS of

882
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,599
like once every four to five years. They're not going

883
00:39:14,679 --> 00:39:17,840
to run you off after one bad year or two

884
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,599
bad years. Like because again, people understand, like if you

885
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,400
just had a team that won on a championship run

886
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,880
and then you lose your gut it, you lose all

887
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,480
those people and you go seven and five next year,

888
00:39:26,559 --> 00:39:28,880
most people, I totally get it, we got gutted, but

889
00:39:29,039 --> 00:39:32,400
let's rebuild. We're rebuilding for that next year. But for

890
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,559
people like Brian Kelly, you had four years to prove it.

891
00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:38,760
By year four, this was his most talented team. This

892
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,239
was supposed to be the team that could make a

893
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,800
championship run. Now again with the twelve team playoff, nobody

894
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,239
was saying win a championship. They were saying, make a

895
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,239
deep playoff run.

896
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 3: That's what the expectation and what it what it was

897
00:39:49,559 --> 00:39:52,039
bretton Brian Kelly's best season, I mean, well, the first

898
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:53,800
couple of years when he was pretty good, they didn't

899
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,519
have they didn't have a twelve team players.

900
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:58,519
Speaker 4: The first year they beat Alabama, they won the SEC West. Yeah,

901
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,079
and and then the next year he has Jane Daniels

902
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:04,960
wins the Heisman. But you have historically the worst defense

903
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:05,679
you've ever had in the.

904
00:40:05,679 --> 00:40:09,639
Speaker 2: History of lashue h apparently, Matt Thomas is what do

905
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:09,960
you want?

906
00:40:10,039 --> 00:40:10,159
Speaker 9: Man?

907
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 2: Are you are you? Are you awake?

908
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 9: I watched every bit of that game last night, if

909
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,719
you believe me or not, not that it's accurate.

910
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm just driving to the airport and during this

911
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,320
show a great conversation.

912
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 9: What do you repartee?

913
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:27,679
Speaker 1: Where are you?

914
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 2: Oh, you're in Houston, Texas. I don't know where you were.

915
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:32,199
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm going to I don't know what.

916
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,039
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought the plane left after the game or something.

917
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 9: No, I mean that would be terrible. Extra time in

918
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,440
canad would be nice. You know, Tim Morton's in a

919
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,199
good exchange rate. But that's not the reason why.

920
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,679
Speaker 2: How's your passport looking.

921
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,039
Speaker 9: Updated? By the way, Okay, that's twenty five Thanks for action.

922
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: Okay, great, all right, what do you want?

923
00:40:53,679 --> 00:40:56,679
Speaker 10: Well, I'm gonna say my point about not winning a

924
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,360
championship is seeing the failure.

925
00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 9: Look at all these coaches that are listening jobs. It's

926
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:01,679
proven my point.

927
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: All this money, it's proving your nil.

928
00:41:05,159 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 10: All this absolutely prove my point. Nobody has nobody has

929
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,159
time to ill programs. You spend all this money, you win.

930
00:41:11,519 --> 00:41:15,519
I think if uh Texas Tech doesn't win a national championship,

931
00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:16,719
they're gonna fire everybody there.

932
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,639
Speaker 9: Oh hell yeah, he's going to, don't you think?

933
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 3: But don't you think that's a ridiculous standard to hold

934
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,039
every single you're holding fifteen to twenty and if you

935
00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:26,639
throw Texas Tech in there and some other nil programs,

936
00:41:26,679 --> 00:41:29,039
you're getting up to like twenty programs. We need to

937
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:31,880
be winning the championship. And like Gordy said, there's three

938
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,719
teams he named that should be winning the championship, Well,

939
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,920
then that's all the championships.

940
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,679
Speaker 2: Like, it's just unrealistic to me that everybody thinks they

941
00:41:37,679 --> 00:41:38,679
should be winning all the time.

942
00:41:39,119 --> 00:41:41,519
Speaker 4: There's a group of twenty teams though that I say,

943
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,880
they should have been have a chance to compete. And

944
00:41:47,199 --> 00:41:49,400
and four to five years is a good enough sample size.

945
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,400
Nobody's firing coaches after one year. It's James traklo Is there,

946
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,039
twelve years, they're they're getting a rope but you gotta

947
00:41:57,079 --> 00:41:59,639
at least show your you have a chance to get there,

948
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,000
and Brian Kelly was showing he.

949
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:03,079
Speaker 2: Was never going to get there.

950
00:42:04,039 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 3: You think if Brian Kelly stayed there ten more years,

951
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:07,599
they would have never won a championship.

952
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 4: Well, you don't get ten years. I was talking, you

953
00:42:11,559 --> 00:42:13,920
get five, and this was supposed to be his year.

954
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,719
It takes the next step. So I think it's fair.

955
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,039
I think it's fair to give these coaches. Look at

956
00:42:19,039 --> 00:42:21,320
Billion Napier, he massively underachieved at Florida.

957
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,119
Speaker 1: He got four.

958
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,559
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's that's enough timetable to tell. Is this

959
00:42:25,639 --> 00:42:28,679
guy's going to be a championship coach. I think the

960
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,800
expectations programmed to program. If you add it all up,

961
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,719
it's just ridiculous. The expectations go ahead.

962
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,079
Speaker 9: I agree. I agree with you guys. I agree with

963
00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:38,400
you all.

964
00:42:38,559 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 10: It's totally unrealistic. But I promise you Joey McGuire does

965
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,360
not get the Red Raiders to the tournament in the

966
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:46,880
next three years, he's out of work.

967
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 9: But staring in the story, Clay Campbell, I ain't paid

968
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,320
all that cash for nothing.

969
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:51,679
Speaker 2: But that's another thing.

970
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 3: That's another interesting discussion is for me is like, who

971
00:42:54,679 --> 00:42:57,679
was Joey McGuire a hot candidate anywhere? No, all of

972
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,119
a sudden, Joey McGuire is this smart top ten coach

973
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:03,239
because he got players.

974
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 4: So I think that's fair though they they went out

975
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,079
and bought a top ten roster. If you can't win

976
00:43:09,199 --> 00:43:10,440
with that, then nets on coaching.

977
00:43:11,599 --> 00:43:15,559
Speaker 3: No, I understand that, But nobody thought that Joey maguire

978
00:43:15,679 --> 00:43:17,880
was some kind of genius coach before this year, and

979
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,880
all of a sudden they're in the top ten. It's

980
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,360
because it comes down.

981
00:43:21,199 --> 00:43:22,159
Speaker 1: To the players.

982
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 2: He was thought of it as a pretty good coach.

983
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 3: I think there's a certain baseline you hit where it

984
00:43:26,039 --> 00:43:28,159
kind of it comes down to the player. Especially in

985
00:43:28,199 --> 00:43:30,679
the nil age, it comes down more to the players

986
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:35,280
that you're able to acquire than the coaching nanny would be.

987
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 2: Probably, how did you say?

988
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 4: They look like absolute dog crap under Deshaun what's his face?

989
00:43:40,679 --> 00:43:42,639
And the minute they fire him? They beat Penn State?

990
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:47,199
Speaker 3: What happened last week? They lost like fifty six to three.

991
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,840
But what I'm saying is was that the talent or

992
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:51,880
was that coaching? Because clearly you say I had the

993
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,800
talent to beat Penn State? To beat whoever they beat

994
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:55,519
the next week, like.

995
00:43:55,679 --> 00:43:57,559
Speaker 2: Uh, let me go, I'm trying to find that. Didn't

996
00:43:57,559 --> 00:44:00,239
they just get stomped? Yeah, they lost fifty six to six.

997
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,559
The three games part of that, they won three games and.

998
00:44:04,559 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: They just lost fifty six to six because that's team.

999
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well no, you said the coaching matters, So

1000
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,639
all of a sudden, the genius coach lost fifty six

1001
00:44:11,679 --> 00:44:12,039
to six.

1002
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:14,679
Speaker 4: You're saying it's only on the players. I'm saying I

1003
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,719
would say that. I didn't say it's only on the players.

1004
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:17,599
Speaker 1: If Kurt.

1005
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 2: Anything else fore, winning twelve, we got to hit the

1006
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:21,400
top of the hour.

1007
00:44:21,519 --> 00:44:21,679
Speaker 11: Matt.

1008
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,360

Speaker 2: Okay, thank you very much. Matt Thomas from Toronto.

1011
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,559
Speaker 3: He's gonna only hear O Canada fifty times because he

1012
00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:34,400
thinks it's better than the star Spangled banner. What was

1013
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,280
the what was the final tally on that on that

1014
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,239
instaple one day? I think yeah, eight to one. Maybe

1015
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,960
we took like ten people before he got one. All right, Cordy,

1016
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:44,840

1021
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,679

00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 3: So I'm flying solo for the next couple of hours.

1029
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,400
We got gut feelings coming up at eleven thirty. We

00:45:06,519 --> 00:45:09,000
have Adam Clanton joining at one o'clock and it is

1031
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:11,719

1032
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,719

00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:37,079
Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Without Matt Thomas, he is

1040
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,719
traveling with your Houston Rockets, who have got to win

1041
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,960
last night, their first of the season against the Brooklyn Nets.

1042
00:45:43,559 --> 00:45:47,199
He will be out today and Thursday, as it is

1043
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,519
the start of NBA season, folks, which means Matt will

1044
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:52,840
be out on the road also missing some days here

1045
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:53,400
and there.

1046
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 2: But the Rockets getting the win last night, so that

1047
00:45:56,559 --> 00:45:57,400
is good news.

1048
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 3: In his stead, we will have Adam Clanton hanging out

1049
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,159
in the one o'clock hour, and I convinced him to

1050
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,119
hang out for a little bit longer. Four hours in

1051
00:46:06,159 --> 00:46:09,039
the morning is not enough. Chris Gordy is hanging out

1052
00:46:09,079 --> 00:46:11,800
for a little bit. I appreciate you, mister Gordy. Sure thing,

1053
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,119
Let's do it. Yeah, yeah, you see, he sounds super enthuised, folks.

1054
00:46:15,199 --> 00:46:16,679
So you want to get in you can't.

1055
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,679
Speaker 2: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety is

1056
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,079
the phone number. Seven one three two one two five

1057
00:46:22,199 --> 00:46:24,400
seven ninety. All right, can we change this? We have

1058
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,440
an awful situation unfolding. I've been actually something.

1059
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 3: You know, you click on like one thing and then

1060
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,159
it ends up in your four utab for like the

1061
00:46:32,199 --> 00:46:35,800
next six months. I clicked on one video about the

1062
00:46:36,199 --> 00:46:40,920
hurricane Melissa, which unfortunately is battering Jamaica with like one

1063
00:46:41,039 --> 00:46:44,679
hundred and eighty five miles an hour of wind, the

1064
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,920
third most intense hurricane in the Atlantic drop ever dropped

1065
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,239
under nine hundred millibars, right, yeah, whatever that means. I

1066
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,960
know it's bad, but I don't know what the thresholds are.

1067
00:46:55,039 --> 00:46:56,920
I have no context for how bad it is, but

1068
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,719
apparently like the third worst in history.

1069
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,119
Speaker 4: It basically becomes one of the five most strongest landfalling

1070
00:47:02,199 --> 00:47:03,559
hurricanes in Atlantic.

1071
00:47:03,639 --> 00:47:08,119
Speaker 3: Okay, well, prayers out to our good friends in Jamaica

1072
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,920
because it does not look like a good situation.

1073
00:47:11,159 --> 00:47:13,119
Speaker 2: And this, this is just depressing me.

1074
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,199
Speaker 3: I mean that the eye of that hurricane, this looks

1075
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,360
so how can it look so menacing when it's just

1076
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,239
a cloud formation?

1077
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, this does not look good. Okay, I

1078
00:47:22,119 --> 00:47:22,400
got to.

1079
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,079
Speaker 3: Change this off the TV. So I don't want to

1080
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,320
be thinking about depressing things that are happening. But unfortunately,

1081
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,360
I mean, that is the way of the world, whether

1082
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,320
you want to bury your head in the sand or not.

1083
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,960
Let's put on sports and watch the Dodgers wind World.

1084
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,719
Seri's on the first take. Well, actually, I do want

1085
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,679
to talk about that. Of course, I know you didn't

1086
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,119
catch much of it. How much did you catch Gordy

1087
00:47:41,159 --> 00:47:42,000
before you knotted off?

1088
00:47:42,159 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 4: I fell asleep in extra inning, so it was like

1089
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,960
the tenth or eleventh, and I woke up around twelve forty.

1090
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,559
Speaker 2: And could not believe that the game was still going.

1091
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,519
Speaker 3: On, still going on. It went on to like two

1092
00:47:53,639 --> 00:47:56,679
a am. I was, okay, normally I'm like a night

1093
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,320
out anyways. I'll be honest with you, folks. I usually

1094
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,039
fall asleep between like midnight and one depending, but sometimes

1095
00:48:03,079 --> 00:48:05,079
I'll stay up a little bit later if I can't sleep.

1096
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 2: But I just I was too invested. I watched that

1097
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,960
entire I watched the entire game.

1098
00:48:10,039 --> 00:48:10,199
Speaker 8: It was.

1099
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 2: It got over like two am. I get to the

1100
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,960
point nobody's scoring, just end.

1101
00:48:16,199 --> 00:48:17,199
Speaker 1: I don't even like.

1102
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 2: Oh, don't get me wrong. I hate the Dodgers and

1103
00:48:20,599 --> 00:48:21,559
I want him to lose.

1104
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 3: But every time the Blue Jays got three outs, I

1105
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,719
was like, all right, whatever, just in this something. And

1106
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,400
then finally Fredriie Freeman walked it off in the eighteenth inning,

1107
00:48:30,119 --> 00:48:35,119
eighteen innings, eighteen innings. I mean, and you enjoyed that.

1108
00:48:36,159 --> 00:48:37,960
I'm not gonna say I enjoyed it. I just like

1109
00:48:38,039 --> 00:48:40,320
I said, I was like pot committed. I'm like, I

1110
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,320
can't miss some crazy walkoff moment and I can't go

1111
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,599
to bed. I don't know, why, And then there was

1112
00:48:45,639 --> 00:48:48,719
a couple of almost walk off home runs.

1113
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: It did make me laugh.

1114
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 2: The Dodgers fans were like.

1115
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: Oh, will Smith dig the last center?

1116
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:58,079
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, every the morning track, Tom barshow camping under it.

1117
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,800
He's pitched a tint, he's got a fire building, he's

1118
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,480
hanging out. It's a can of corn. Shut obamass up,

1119
00:49:03,559 --> 00:49:04,199
Dodgers fans.

1120
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:06,760
Speaker 4: But Otani homered in the seventh and we had to

1121
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,039
then go eleven innings before.

1122
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 3: It is with double homer, double homer, and got intentionally

1123
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:18,440
walked four times. Well, he walked five times in the game,

1124
00:49:18,519 --> 00:49:20,760
and then he walked again when they finally pitched to him.

1125
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,440
It was really an unintentional, intentional walk. They they pitched

1126
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,239
around him. He he, He did not see a strike

1127
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,880
in that at bat. I don't believe. I think it

1128
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:34,079
was four straight balls. So yeah, it it was insane.

1129
00:49:34,199 --> 00:49:36,039
And folks, we're gonna have to have a serious conversation

1130
00:49:36,159 --> 00:49:39,159
at some point this day. Like, I understand we hate

1131
00:49:39,199 --> 00:49:42,719
the Dodgers, but Shojo Tani is an absolute force of

1132
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,239
Nature's I mean, I mean, people are arguing, I mean,

1133
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,920
and I'm listening to the argument already arguing, like the

1134
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,639
greatest athlete in the history of American sports except for

1135
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,079
this dude, Victor Winbin Yama who's with the San Antonio Spurs.

1136
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,599
Speaker 1: And we hate the San Antonios Spur four so I

1137
00:50:01,679 --> 00:50:03,119
actually records thunder.

1138
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 3: At some point in the show, I do want to

1139
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,840
have a discussion with folks, like how much can we

1140
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,920
like appreciate this greatness that we're seeing, But but how

1141
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,079
much do we have to hate them and not accept

1142
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:15,000
how good they are because they play with the Dodgers

1143
00:50:15,079 --> 00:50:18,199
and the Spurs two different sports, two different forces of nature,

1144
00:50:18,199 --> 00:50:21,760
and two different basically. I mean, at least Victor women

1145
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,000
Yama has got a ways to go. But as far

1146
00:50:24,079 --> 00:50:26,559
as talent, one of the all time greats in Showyotani

1147
00:50:26,599 --> 00:50:27,559
already one of the all.

1148
00:50:27,519 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 4: Time Shoyotani wasted one, two, three, four, five, six years

1149
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,400
with the Los Angeles Angels. Yeah, no playoffs in two seasons,

1150
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,519
and with the Dodgers two postseason runs. He has twenty

1151
00:50:41,599 --> 00:50:44,679
six career walks already. Oh my god, a few more

1152
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,559
that'll vult him into the top twenty five all time.

1153
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:50,760
Because I had to look it up. Chipper Jones and

1154
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,800
Many Ramirez tied for the most postseason walks ever with

1155
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:57,199
seventy two. Well show, he's at twenty six in two

1156
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:58,320
postseasons so far.

1157
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 2: Huh how many his host two they have? He's gotta

1158
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,679
be away up there. Let's see times. Alexman.

1159
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,079
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, you know what that was the

1160
00:51:06,119 --> 00:51:08,079
next number name. I was gonna say, Bregman's got to

1161
00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:08,480
be close.

1162
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 4: Josel half Jozel Twov's fourteenth with forty three. Okay, Bregman's

1163
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,719
got fifty six, top ten, Yeah, that makes sense.

1164
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:18,079
Speaker 2: Okay.

1165
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 4: The other ones after Chipper Jones and Mane Rameiroz just

1166
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,119
named a Yankee Bernie Williams, sorry, Pasodic Derek.

1167
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 3: Jeter, Yeah, Denk Jitta the greatest, the greatest of all

1168
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,239
time or most overrated of all time. So you had

1169
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,239
that an eighteen inning World Series game last night, and

1170
00:51:35,039 --> 00:51:38,400
you have I mean the Monday night football was going on.

1171
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:45,639
Speaker 4: YEP, where Travis Kelcey tied one Longhorn Priest Holmes for

1172
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,039
most touchdowns. She's by a chief most touchdowns and chief history.

1173
00:51:49,119 --> 00:51:52,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I mean Priest Holmes really only had a

1174
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,639
few good years, but he was awesome. Oh dude, he

1175
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,320
was like the he didn't he have like a twenty

1176
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,639
plus touchdown year or something like that. Well, that's why

1177
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,000
he's the He was the Aull time leader. That's why

1178
00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:04,800
he's up there. Uh yeah, so okay, you got that

1179
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,519
going on. It was a crazy sports night. You had

1180
00:52:07,559 --> 00:52:10,639
Monday Night football, you had World Series, you had the

00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,159
Rockets playing It's got off the Snide, and you had

1182
00:52:13,159 --> 00:52:13,679
a game.

1183
00:52:13,559 --> 00:52:16,199
Speaker 2: Against uh it was the Caveliers and Pistons were on

1184
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:20,719
Peacock like it was for the the end of October. Yeah,

1185
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,920
it was a nice little sports heaven night last night.

1186
00:52:23,039 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 4: Year. Lots of people are saying, like, this is the

1187
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,840
best time of year if you're just a sports fan,

1188
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,840
because you got hockey, you got college football, you got

00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,599
NFL me, you got stuff going on every day.

1190
00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:33,280
Speaker 3: I've been telling Matt for years that he needs to

1191
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,280
get an extra TV. I think he watches in his

1192
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,719
office or something like that, because he's always like, which,

1193
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,880
hey would you have what were you doing? Were you

1194

my main computer, so I had five going.

1202
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can find cheap throway TVs or your old

1203
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,440
t like, you don't have to have a bunch of

00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,119
four k O put an on it.

1205
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1206
00:53:03,519 --> 00:53:05,639
Speaker 3: Oh, you can put an antenna on it, and or

1207
00:53:05,679 --> 00:53:07,360
you can just get a chrome cast, which you can

1208
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,599
get usually for just if it's not that much. And also, yeah,

1209
00:53:11,679 --> 00:53:13,400
I have three TVs in my living room and then

1210
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,280
I bring the one from my bedroom if things are

1211
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,480
really getting hairy, and I gotta put four TVs.

1212
00:53:17,159 --> 00:53:19,079
Speaker 4: On, but I had to do five because the freaking

1213
00:53:19,119 --> 00:53:21,239
Aggie's going to overtime in Mississippi state.

1214
00:53:22,159 --> 00:53:23,679
Speaker 3: Oh, I know when you're trying to you're trying to

1215
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,760
jockey the TVs and one goes into overtime.

1216
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

1217
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: I like that.

1218
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,199
Speaker 4: It's a great shot of what's this girl's name, Jessica

1219
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,920
Mendoza on ESPN. Great shot of the air vents inside

1220
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,840
her La Hotel. Yeah, doesn't look like they're shocking her

1221
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:37,719
up in a nice place.

1222
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,039
Speaker 3: I think she's in a she it looks like she's

1223
00:53:40,039 --> 00:53:42,400
in the red roof in Holiday m Yeah, I don't know.

1224
00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 7: She's not.

1225
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 2: That's not a holiday. That's too dingy. But I'm just like,

1226
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,199
they can't send them with like a little roll up

1227
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:48,519
backdrop to put behind them.

1228
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 7: They can't.

1229
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 3: They can't dust off that great see the whole background

1230
00:53:52,519 --> 00:53:54,679
of the hotel. Yeah, she needs to tell the housekeeper

1231
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,079
to dust off that air VT. This does not look safe.

1232
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,920
Jessica Mendoz is gonna get mess with Thelioma in Los Angeles.

1233
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,199
Speaker 4: We start doing we got we got cameras in here. Yes,

1234
00:54:04,519 --> 00:54:06,280
I think we need to start streaming the show in

1235
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,440
Matt's on the road and see his hotels. That okay

1236
00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:12,639
with him, You're like streaming man, he's got to bring

1237
00:54:12,679 --> 00:54:14,840
a camera, No, because he well he's gonna have to

1238
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,400
put on clothes. He's not gonna be happy about that

1239
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,800
unless you want to, unless you want to see back here.

1240
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,920
I didn't need the picture that at all. Well guess

1241
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,519
what it just happened and I'm sorry, Well, they stayed

1242
00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:28,599
some nice hotels. Yeah, actually no, they're in some they're

1243
00:54:28,679 --> 00:54:29,199
in fire.

1244
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 3: It's literally in the collective bargaining agreement with the NBA,

1245
00:54:33,039 --> 00:54:35,320
they cannot be anything worse than five star.

1246
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 2: I think like something like that.

1247
00:54:36,639 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 4: So the Rockets in some cities only have one or

1248
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,079
two Rockets. Will not be in the Toronto Extended Stay.

1249
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,760
Speaker 1: No, they will not.

1250
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,639
Speaker 3: It's not in the nineteen seventies. They fought for that.

1251
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:46,519
Back in the day. It was like Wilt Chamberlain and

1252
00:54:46,599 --> 00:54:48,239
the boys were like, no, we're not staying in these

1253
00:54:48,519 --> 00:54:51,880
these chump hotels anymore. So now they're in nicer hotels

1254
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,360
in the NBA that's collectively bored.

1255
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 2: Wasn't until recently w NBA still flying commercial? Are they

1256
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,920
not still? Or did Caitlin Clark kind of help everybody out?

1257
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:00,840
I don't think he helped me out.

1258
00:55:01,079 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 3: Are they going to name that league after Caitlin Clark,

1259
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,679
by the way, they need to, I mean they that's

1260
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,599
call it the Caitlyn Clark Basketball Association.

1261
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,320
Speaker 4: It's called Caitlyn Clark and everyone else who hates her,

1262
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:13,039
nobody else likes.

1263
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:14,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are a lot of girls who are jealous,

1264
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:15,960
but there are a lot of girls who respect what

1265
00:55:16,039 --> 00:55:18,440
she's done for them as well in the league, I think.

1266
00:55:18,639 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: All right.

1267
00:55:19,039 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 3: Anyways, so yes, the Rockets get the victory last night

1268
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,760
to the Brooklyn over the Brooklyn Nets, one thirty seven

1269
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:26,519
to one oh nine.

1270
00:55:26,559 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 2: A couple of things that I like.

1271
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: From the game.

1272
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,280
Speaker 2: By doing this, right, Tar Easton.

1273
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 4: Pay the man, pay the bad ros with every astro

1274
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,039
every time they have a big game.

1275
00:55:36,119 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 2: No, we're not doing pay that.

1276
00:55:37,559 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 3: No, people were already doing Tarry Easton. Gotta go Tary Easton,

1277
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,679
east to ride the bench. I mean you know this,

1278
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,840
Gordy too, because you've been in this business a long time.

1279
00:55:45,199 --> 00:55:48,519
We were we have been in the microwave generation. And

1280
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,039
you're seeing this right now with coaches right like like

1281
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,840
Fire Brian Kelly, Fire James Franklin. They were just literally

1282
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,679
in the semi finals of the playoff. It's the it's

1283
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:02,360
the now, now, now, gimmey, gimmey, gimmey, instant gratification generation.

1284
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,119
Speaker 2: But it's like even worse.

1285
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:07,599
Speaker 3: Two games into the Rocket season, people like you can't

1286
00:56:07,599 --> 00:56:11,320
extend Tarry Easton. This is horrible. You gotta get this

1287
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,519
guy off man. Tarry Easton bet on himself turning down

1288
00:56:14,559 --> 00:56:16,519
this Rocket's money. That was a huge mistake.

1289
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, it's two games into the season.

1290
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:23,760
Speaker 2: How do we not how do we not recognize that

1291
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,199
as people who have been sport Even if you're the

1292
00:56:27,639 --> 00:56:30,840
youngest sports fan on the planet and you're eighteen years old.

1293
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 3: You still have some perspective. You've probably been watching sports

1294
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,440
for five six years. You've got to understand one game

1295
00:56:37,519 --> 00:56:39,480
does not a season, make even a handful of games.

1296
00:56:39,519 --> 00:56:42,239
And then if we get into baseball oftentimes, like we're

1297
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,960
talking about, how fifty games isn't sometimes a significant sample.

1298
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:47,280
Speaker 1: Yet it still happens.

1299
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 3: It's a trap that we fall into, how everybody's the

1300
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:54,239
worst and everybody's the best week to week. It's ridiculous.

1301
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,440
But yes, Tarry Easton with a very good game. He

1302
00:56:56,559 --> 00:56:58,400
was five to seven from three. He had twenty two

1303
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:02,400
points to lead the Rockets in scoring off the bench.

1304
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,400
I was encouraged about that, and then I was also

1305
00:57:05,559 --> 00:57:09,800
really encouraged by the performance from one other Houston Rocket.

1306
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,239
We'll talk about that on the other side, we have

1307
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:13,679
a lot of stuff to get to. I do want

1308
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,320

Speaker 2: They're in Toronto.

1326
00:58:04,119 --> 00:58:06,679
Speaker 3: Hey, I heard he got held up in customs like

1327
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:10,280
Dave Roberts, so hopefully everything's okay over there. I don't

1328
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,639
know what he was trying to smuggle in or okay,

1329
00:58:12,719 --> 00:58:14,960
maybe I made that up. Uh did you see that

1330
00:58:15,199 --> 00:58:17,480
Dave Roberts talking about how we got held up and

1331
00:58:17,519 --> 00:58:19,519
he's like, I don't know if there was any intent there.

1332
00:58:20,199 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 4: Well, somebody said it's uh the government shutdown, Like, I

1333
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,480
guess it's all taken a little extra time. So what

1334
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,559
can you police have a little patience and Dave Robins

1335
00:58:29,639 --> 00:58:30,559
like I got time for this?

1336
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,239
Speaker 3: Well that was always wondering though. But they were in Canada.

1337
00:58:34,719 --> 00:58:36,519
They're not shutting down in Canada. He means when they

1338
00:58:36,599 --> 00:58:38,760
landed they were running to some issues with customs. I

1339
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:43,400
guess yeah, because because those people so they're still shut down.

1340
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,239
They're working without pay. Correct, Is that what's happening right now?

1341
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 2: I have a home as ASA agent's Oh he is

1342
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:55,559
a ts pissed oh man. That's see, speaking of things

1343
00:58:55,599 --> 00:58:57,800
we don't really need, all right, No more about the

1344
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,760
Jamaican hurricane and no more about the government shutdown. Folks,

1345
00:59:02,079 --> 00:59:03,119
burier heads in the sand.

1346
00:59:03,199 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: That's what we do here.

1347
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 2: We talked sports on Sports Talk seven.

1348
00:59:06,679 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 3: Ninety seven to one three two one two five seven

1349
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,559
ninety is the phone number if you want to get in.

1350
00:59:11,079 --> 00:59:14,079
Seven to one three two one two five seven ninety Yes.

1351
00:59:14,239 --> 00:59:17,679
Mentioned Tarry Easton leading the way for the Houston Rockets

1352
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:21,280
with twenty two points also off the bench. A very

1353
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:27,679
impressive performance from Reed Shepherd twenty four minutes, fifteen points,

1354
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,800
six of eleven from the field. He's been knocking down

1355
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,760
three so far early in the season. Gordy, But how

1356
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,559
about eight assists in only two turnovers. That was nice

1357
00:59:36,599 --> 00:59:39,159
to see as well. He's been playing with confidence. You

1358
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,719
can tell that that has been certainly something that is

1359
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,480
being coached into him and talked about. Uh from last

1360
00:59:44,559 --> 00:59:48,239
year where he definitely just looked a little pensive, looked

1361
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,760
like he was maybe scared to make a mistake, not

1362
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,519
necessarily having full confidence in his abilities. He's getting to

1363
00:59:54,599 --> 00:59:56,840
the basket, he's putting up shots. They haven't been going

1364
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,239
down consistently yet, but that was an encouraging performance him

1365
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:00,679
last night.

1366
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Led the team and assists.

1367
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's looking like getting a little bit

1368
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:09,159
confident and shooting three. So that's that's the big one,

1369
01:00:09,679 --> 01:00:13,679
hit three of them. So yeah, I like his game.

1370
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,360
So he had a steal like he was slapping balls.

1371
01:00:16,599 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he ripped the ball away from Cam Thomas. First

1372
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,920
of all, he was like a snatch and grab. It

1373
01:00:22,039 --> 01:00:24,519
was like he was ripping some old ladies purse. And

1374
01:00:24,639 --> 01:00:25,840
then he ran the other way and.

1375
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: Dunked it in.

1376
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, who is this guy? What is Reed Sheppard

1377
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:29,920
doing over here?

1378
01:00:30,039 --> 01:00:30,639
Speaker 7: This is nice.

1379
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,599
Speaker 4: He's an underrated defender. I mean I watched him at

1380
01:00:32,639 --> 01:00:36,000
Kentucky and he defended pretty well. It is funny though.

1381
01:00:36,159 --> 01:00:38,199
I mean we seeing him in person the other night

1382
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,519
at to It to Cent was at the game, like

1383
01:00:40,679 --> 01:00:42,440
he just looked. He looks like a kid that want

1384
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,760
a contest to go play an NBA game, Like anyways,

1385
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,719
short shorts, he's got the little boy haircut, like, he

1386
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:49,440
just looks like.

1387
01:00:50,079 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 3: I think he grew the mustache for a little while

1388
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,000
to try to look older, but I think it wasn't

1389
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,119
working and he shaved it off.

1390
01:00:55,159 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, we have to ask him about that.

1391
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,440
You get like a fade or just something to look

1392
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,480
a little bit cooler. He just, you know, right, looks

1393
01:01:02,519 --> 01:01:04,880
like a college kid that want to contest. Yeah, he

1394
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,360
just he looks like he's, uh, he's like a pledge.

1395
01:01:07,679 --> 01:01:09,760
But don't let it like he get bald. So yes,

1396
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,800
people are like, oh, like, I'm like, this is what

1397
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,639
he does. Don't act like surprise.

1398
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1399
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,239
Speaker 3: So the three point shooting so far, of course, we're

1400
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,719
dealing with very small sample sizes right now with this season.

1401
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,480
We're three games in thirty five percent from excuse me,

1402
01:01:23,599 --> 01:01:26,719
forty four percent from three so far early on in

1403
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,039
the season, but only twenty seven percent from the field.

1404
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,599
But how about a men Thompson and Reed Shepherd combining

1405
01:01:32,679 --> 01:01:35,639
for sixteen assists and only two turnovers, So that was

1406
01:01:35,679 --> 01:01:37,880
good to see as well for a men and you

1407
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,000
and you did what you need to do against the

1408
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,079
Brooklyn Nets. You got to blow out. You were able

1409
01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:45,159
to not have to play your starters very much. And

1410
01:01:45,199 --> 01:01:47,719
men Thompson only played twenty five minutes, Bartsmath Junior only

1411
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,360
played twenty four. Dev Duran only played twenty five minutes.

1412
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,360
And you got some work for some guys who needed it,

1413
01:01:53,559 --> 01:01:56,480
like Tarry Easton, like Reed Shepherd, you got, you got

1414
01:01:56,599 --> 01:01:59,239
Jay Shaun Tate into the game, like Aaron Holliday got

1415
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,320
some minutes. Overall, very good performance and exactly what you

1416
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,400
wanted to see from the Rockets against a lessons stellar competition.

1417
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:06,679
I mean, look, let's be honest, it was like a

1418
01:02:06,719 --> 01:02:09,760
preseason game last night, and everybody got their work in,

1419
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,639
so it's still at the end of the day, I

1420
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,239
was pretty happy to what we saw from Reed Sheppard,

1421
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,840
especially with the assistant turnover ratio. Combining that with the

1422
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,199
men Thompson, I'm feeling encouraged. Early on one and two,

1423
01:02:22,639 --> 01:02:24,840
both games could have gone either way to start the season,

1424
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,480
and then you got the easy victory against the.

1425
01:02:26,519 --> 01:02:29,679
Speaker 4: Nets Durant twenty five. I mean, I know most people played.

1426
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,320
I mean Chin Gun played thirty a Kokie played thirty one,

1427
01:02:33,719 --> 01:02:34,840
Durant at twenty five.

1428
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 2: Is that just situation of.

1429
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 4: Where the score was or are they gonna maybe kinda

1430
01:02:41,039 --> 01:02:42,840
like you see those minutes in some of these kind

1431
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,000
of games be twenty two to twenty three.

1432
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:47,119
Speaker 3: H m men, Thompson only played twenty five. I think

1433
01:02:47,119 --> 01:02:48,920
if they'd needed him, they would have played more. They're

1434
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,679
gonna be very I think they're gonna be very conscious

1435
01:02:50,679 --> 01:02:51,800
of it. I'm gonna tell you, I don't think it's

1436
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,159
an accident. Yeah, but it's just kind of a I

1437
01:02:55,159 --> 01:02:55,400
don't know.

1438
01:02:55,599 --> 01:02:57,599
Speaker 4: I thought initially when they signed him, I thought it

1439
01:02:57,679 --> 01:03:01,000
was gonna be a little bit of okay, some rests,

1440
01:03:01,079 --> 01:03:02,840
some I mean, probably back to backs.

1441
01:03:03,199 --> 01:03:05,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. So far, he's playing all three games.

1442
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:09,159
Speaker 3: We asked him when we had him at Rockets media Day,

1443
01:03:09,199 --> 01:03:11,119
and he said, my plan is to play all eighty

1444
01:03:11,159 --> 01:03:13,480
two and play all forty eight minutes. Obviously that's not

1445
01:03:13,559 --> 01:03:15,559
gonna happen, but we'll see. That's how he's preparing for

1446
01:03:15,639 --> 01:03:18,719
the season. But I'm gonna guess he's not going to

1447
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:20,480
play back to backs, but I'm not sure. I think

1448
01:03:20,519 --> 01:03:24,039
it'll be situation dependent maybe as well. Yeah, depending on

1449
01:03:24,119 --> 01:03:25,920
where they are in the standings and how things go

1450
01:03:26,119 --> 01:03:28,519
later on in the season. So yeah, it's going to

1451
01:03:28,559 --> 01:03:31,159
be an interesting situation to be sure, to kind of

1452
01:03:31,199 --> 01:03:32,800
see how it plays out. But they haven't had a

1453
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,480
back to back yet, and we'll god, they don't have one,

1454
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:37,760
I don't think for a couple of weeks. I was

1455
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,960
looking at the schedule last night. They they've been actually

1456
01:03:41,039 --> 01:03:43,440
having a pretty easy go of You've had two you

1457
01:03:43,519 --> 01:03:45,320
play played on Tuesday, a couple of days off, and

1458
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,440
they had Saturday Sunday off.

1459
01:03:47,639 --> 01:03:49,559
Speaker 2: It's it's the weekend before Christmas.

1460
01:03:49,639 --> 01:03:53,639
Speaker 4: They are okay, They're Thursday in New Orleans, off, Friday,

1461
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,800
Saturday in Denver, Sunday in Sacramento.

1462
01:03:57,119 --> 01:03:59,239
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's a three out of four, and then

1463
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:03,559
they stay out West. They play Tuesday Thursday in LA.

1464
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 3: And they might have some NBA Cup games mixed in

1465
01:04:06,039 --> 01:04:08,840
somewhere in that stretch. I'm not exactly sure. That's between

1466
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,760
December sixth eighteenth. Yeah, yeah, okay, so we'll see what happens.

1467
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,119
But yeah, the NBA has been conscious of not having

1468
01:04:15,159 --> 01:04:17,880
as many back to backs. So that's good, especially when

1469
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:21,920
you have an older star like Kevin Durant. Seven to

1470
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,119
one three two one two five seven ninety is the

1471

ninety on The Matt Thomas Show with Ross CuPy on

1473
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:30,920
hold early on. I appreciate you. Also, let's go ahead

1474
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,760
and get after it, Ruben holding longest is next up?

1475
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:34,119
Speaker 2: What's up?

1476
01:04:34,199 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: Ruben?

1477
01:04:35,559 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 6: Hey Man just wanted to discuss the whole Tony thing

1478
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,440
and you know, the greatness as opposed to you know,

1479
01:04:40,519 --> 01:04:42,480
the the gotta hate the Dodgers.

1480
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,039
Speaker 2: Is wearing the Dodger blue Man. It doesn't feel right, Ruben.

1481
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 7: It doesn't. It doesn't.

1482
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,639
Speaker 6: And uh, when you're looking at a play like that,

1483
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:51,719
I'm not sure if y'all watched Guardians of the Galaxy.

1484
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,519
I've seen you before, but you see that far where

1485
01:04:53,519 --> 01:04:55,119
they're saying, what do you do with this? With the

1486
01:04:55,199 --> 01:04:57,880
little group, little baby group, It's like it's too adorable

1487
01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,599
to kill, you know, take it to the tailor. Yeah,

1488
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:03,320
that's that's Otani for me. He's he's a great player.

1489
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,280
He has he's all the skills, like you don't really

1490
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,639
see this type of player anytime, a generational player. But

1491
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,400
he's on the Dodgers, and you're just kind of irking

1492
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,599
yourself every time he does something. You're saying Ethanotani. But

1493
01:05:16,199 --> 01:05:17,440
then you gotta admire the guy.

1494
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:22,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I mean it's he's a freaking unicorn man

1495
01:05:22,559 --> 01:05:24,920
and he's I mean, how how are you in the

1496
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,760
World Series? Is it eight postseason home runs he has

1497
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,480
this year? I think something like that.

1498
01:05:29,599 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's ridiculous.

1499
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 12: He goes.

1500
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,519
Speaker 3: Run one hundred and thirteen miles an hour off the

1501
01:05:34,599 --> 01:05:36,719
bat at double, then he hits a home run, double

1502
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,800
home run, and he gets intentionally walked four times and

1503
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:40,719
then walks a fifth.

1504
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,239
Speaker 2: I mean, this, this, this is ridiculous.

1505
01:05:43,719 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 6: This is unbelievable what we were telling We were telling

1506
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,119
the as well as like you start walking the guy,

1507
01:05:48,199 --> 01:05:51,280
he's like he's gonna he's gonna smash it, and then

1508
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:53,639
you start walking it's like, okay, four times in a

1509
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,039
row like this is now we're in the twelve thirteenth

1510
01:05:56,079 --> 01:05:57,239
ten and he's like this is embarrassing.

1511
01:05:57,239 --> 01:05:58,119
Speaker 12: You just picture the guy.

1512
01:05:58,199 --> 01:05:59,079
Speaker 1: Wing over with you know.

1513
01:05:59,159 --> 01:06:02,079
Speaker 3: It's crazy too, though, is that they're intentionally walking him

1514
01:06:02,159 --> 01:06:05,280
four times and there are two guys who likely when

1515
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,039
it's all said and done, will be Hall of Famers

1516
01:06:07,119 --> 01:06:09,719
right behind him, Freddy and Mookie Bets and Freddy Freeman.

1517
01:06:10,039 --> 01:06:12,199
There's freaking Hall of famers right behind him, and they

1518
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:13,440
did it four times.

1519
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:19,159
Speaker 6: It's more of the lesser of evils, perhaps up Otani.

1520
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:21,880
All the stories you hear from the great stories about

1521
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,159
him giving all these gloves away to people in your hand,

1522
01:06:24,239 --> 01:06:26,960
and all the all the little charity things he does

1523
01:06:27,079 --> 01:06:29,280
or big charity things he does, just like, oh, I

1524
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,840
hate this guy that can't Yeah.

1525
01:06:31,679 --> 01:06:32,119
Speaker 2: I mean he was.

1526
01:06:32,199 --> 01:06:34,719
Speaker 3: He was giving his interpreter like ten million bucks. That's

1527
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:35,440
pretty charitable.

1528
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, the gambling thing, that's I love. How we can bypass.

1529
01:06:40,559 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 2: I want to be Otani's friend.

1530
01:06:43,119 --> 01:06:45,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, just saying you do that and you're golden.

1531
01:06:45,719 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 2: Get a couple of parlays in. All right, thank you,

1532
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:48,320
Reuben appreciates you.

1533
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean from all accounts, every story you

1534
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,079
read like he's he's super nice.

1535
01:06:53,159 --> 01:06:54,039
Speaker 2: He's very welcoming.

1536
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 3: There's like, what was it like large newpar who was

1537
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,519
playing with Team Japan talked about how nice he was,

1538
01:06:58,599 --> 01:07:01,119
how he comes up and talks to everybody, and he's

1539
01:07:01,159 --> 01:07:03,880
basically like a kid. And then he goes out there

1540
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,840
on the mount. How does how do those two things jibe?

1541
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,199
Like you think of people like Justin Verlander, who or

1542
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:14,760
Max Schurz or whatever, like these uber competitive pitchers who

1543
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,000
go out there and need to be nasty on the mound,

1544
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,480
and then he's like the sweetest guy ever. And then

1545
01:07:19,519 --> 01:07:21,679
he goes and throws six shutout hits, three bombs.

1546
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:23,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's ridiculous.

1547
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 4: I just think he's gonna he's gonna climb up that

1548
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,880
list on just everything all post It's nuts considering you

1549
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,800
missed the playoffs for like the first six years of

1550
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,519
your career and now you get old taste two year run.

1551
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,000
This might be the best two year run of postseason

1552
01:07:39,079 --> 01:07:40,880
history in anybody's career.

1553
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,239
Speaker 2: It's just it's insane. It's crazy at a lot. All right, Matt,

postseason game.

1571

Speaker 1: Nah.

1579
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 2: Depending on the situation, you got to pitch. Yeah, absolutely, I.

1580
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Take you.

1581
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,479

1597
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:25,520
Speaker 4: Oh did you hear me talk? I talk about that

1598
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,359
this morning. Jay Stu, the former producer on The Jim

1599
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,560
Rome Show. Okay, put out a whole tweet on Sunday

1600
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:35,439
how George Springer needed to issue an apology to Dodger.

1601
01:09:35,199 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 1: Fans they are still so obsessed.

1602
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he said, you need the You need to

1603
01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:43,640
issue a former apology to Dodger fans coming to Dodger

1604
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,720
Stadium for cheating in the seventeen World Series. Oh my god,

1605
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,359
we may consider a little remorse for you. But get

1606
01:09:49,399 --> 01:09:52,399
ready if not, get ready for some chin music and

1607
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,279
all this. I'm like, you're gonna hit him. You're gonna

1608
01:09:54,359 --> 01:09:54,680
hit him?

1609
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay, am I stupid?

1610
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 3: The whole Carlos Korea if you don't know, the fact

1611
01:10:00,039 --> 01:10:01,560
shut the bleep up thing was that they did not

1612
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:02,680
do it during the postseason.

1613
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 4: So that's that was the narrative, and that's what I

1614
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:08,359
thought upon digging. There was an LA Times article written

1615
01:10:08,359 --> 01:10:11,560
a few years ago that says Manford did say they

1616
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:12,239
did cheat.

1617
01:10:12,319 --> 01:10:13,600
Speaker 2: They putting that God.

1618
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,279
Speaker 4: Now, they said that the banging on the trash can

1619
01:10:16,359 --> 01:10:19,479
apparently was you couldn't do that because it was so loud.

1620
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,399
But there was a whole theorized piece written about that

1621
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:25,279
they think they were whistling, that there were whistles. There

1622
01:10:25,319 --> 01:10:29,000
were distinct whistles throughout the posts, and I'm like, good God, like.

1623
01:10:29,159 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: They said that.

1624
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:33,560
Speaker 3: They I mean, okay, obviously we're taking Carlo's curry at

1625
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,720
his word, but he came out pretty strongly like yeah,

1626
01:10:36,239 --> 01:10:37,880
He's like, yeah, we cheated, but we did not do

1627
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:38,840
it during the postseason.

1628
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,520
Speaker 2: It was too loud exactly, and go back and watch

1629
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:44,279
those guys, because that's back when Astro's crowds weren't spoiled.

1630
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:44,359
Speaker 1: But they were.

1631
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 4: But this whole, this whole theorized piece was like, yeah,

1632
01:10:47,199 --> 01:10:49,880
I think they resorted to whistling, because there's this distinct

1633
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,319
whistle when an off speed pictures something, but then you

1634
01:10:52,399 --> 01:10:54,800
don't hear. And then somebody else retorted like, yeah, it

1635
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:56,760
turns out when the Dodgers were hitting, I heard that

1636
01:10:56,840 --> 01:10:58,680
same distinct whistle, So what is it?

1637
01:10:58,840 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 2: Were they cheating for the Dodger?

1638
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 3: Like, come on, man, yeah, I don't think they were

1639
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:06,000
doing like we keep on getting this. Oh they cheated

1640
01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:09,319
us in twenty seventeen. The Astros didn't know. You could

1641
01:11:09,359 --> 01:11:11,359
argue they maybe they wouldn't have gotten to the postseason,

1642
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,319
or they wouldn't have gotten that far whatever.

1643
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,560
Speaker 2: But and they also won the game seven. Where was

1644
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:17,359
Game seven played?

1645
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 4: Christopher Gordy, Yeah at Dodgerston Dodger freaking well they think

1646
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:22,239
they still had it?

1647
01:11:22,359 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: I mean, did you see like that?

1648
01:11:24,039 --> 01:11:27,079
Speaker 3: There's like audio of apparently the Dodgers broadcast when the

1649
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,920
what was that game? Where the was it game one

1650
01:11:30,079 --> 01:11:32,159
or Game two? Where the Blue Jays were teeing off

1651
01:11:33,119 --> 01:11:35,640
They're like, I don't know it almost is it's I

1652
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:37,479
if they know it's coming and.

1653
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,079
Speaker 1: Are or harsh? Ez did that? Well that's somebody said.

1654
01:11:41,159 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 2: Astros were literally in their building. Can we just admit

1655
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,319
they were tipping The Dodgers were tipping pitches. There was

1656
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,159
there was no cheating around it. You were just there.

1657
01:11:49,319 --> 01:11:54,520
Speaker 3: There was like Dodgers said, so, uh uh, George Springer

1658
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,640
is wearing some kind of watch. It's not an apple watch,

1659
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:59,800
but he got hit. When he got hit on the wrist,

1660
01:12:00,119 --> 01:12:02,239
was like a Dodgers fan zooming in on the video, like, hey,

1661
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,159
look at this George Springer's wearing an Apple Watch.

1662
01:12:05,239 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 2: Guys, is unbelievable.

1663
01:12:07,039 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's wearing like a fitbitters that they called it

1664
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:10,239
an ooze or something like that.

1665
01:12:10,359 --> 01:12:12,359
Speaker 4: I think, oh, yeah, this guy's this guy tweeted at

1666
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,800
a Jay stuw you left out these or I don't

1667
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,399
remember what you left out the part that he is

1668
01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:17,439
still currently cheating.

1669
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:22,239
Speaker 2: Who's that, George Springer? How is it currently cheating?

1670
01:12:22,319 --> 01:12:24,600
Speaker 3: Look at the pictures of the Apple Watch on his wrists?

1671
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,760
Oh yeah, okay, you found it. Yeah, that's what people

1672
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,520
are saying, like he's there's visual evidence, sir. Yeah, they're

1673
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:33,039
these Dodgers fans in their tenfoil hats. I mean, get

1674
01:12:33,319 --> 01:12:36,319
over yourself. So this is what Jason Stewart tweeted some

1675
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:38,600
advice to George Springer as he arrives in LA.

1676
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:39,319
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

1677
01:12:39,359 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 2: It's a whoop. Here's what he wrote out.

1678
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,520
Speaker 4: He wrote an apology for him to the Dodgers organization

1679
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:46,840
and Dodger fans. I want a first and foremost apologize

1680
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:48,720
to you for my decision to cheat during the twenty

1681
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,960
seventeen World Series. When Major League Baseball determined in twenty

1682
01:12:52,039 --> 01:12:54,199
nineteen that my astros used the legal means to cheat

1683
01:12:54,279 --> 01:12:57,479
during that championship season. I've verbally took accountability, saying I

1684
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:00,600
regretted everything I did, but I never took the noble

1685
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,239
step and apologize to you directly, who.

1686
01:13:03,119 --> 01:13:04,199
Speaker 2: Wrote this, Bill Plaski.

1687
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 4: The twenty seventeen World Series MVP trophy is a symbol

1688
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:09,800
of shame for me, oh my god, as it is

1689
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,920
a reminder I was the best cheater on a team

1690
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,079
that was caught cheating. I will never be able to

1691
01:13:16,159 --> 01:13:18,199
make up for that. I hope that one day you

1692
01:13:18,239 --> 01:13:22,159
will be able to forgive me. I am truly sorry, sincerely,

1693
01:13:22,199 --> 01:13:25,199
George Springer. That's what Jason Stewart wanted George Springer to

1694
01:13:25,319 --> 01:13:28,720
tell Dodger fans, and this guy David responds, I would

1695
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,640
still despise him, but that would certainly raise an eyebrow,

1696
01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:33,760
and he would earn back a shred of respect.

1697
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 3: My god, you earned back a shred of respect. Nobody cares.

1698
01:13:37,159 --> 01:13:39,359
Nobody cares what you have to say, but the only way.

1699
01:13:39,279 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 2: Past is the vacate twenty seventeen. How many years were

1700
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:44,239
we gonna do this?

1701
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:50,359
Speaker 3: It's twenty twenty five, folks, y'all won last year. Next comment, Now,

1702
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:52,359
twenty twenty was certainly a Mickey Mouse title.

1703
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 2: Next comment, did you write one of these for Rookie?

1704
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:55,319
Speaker 5: Or yeah?

1705
01:13:55,359 --> 01:13:56,319
Speaker 1: I like here? Hello?

1706
01:13:57,199 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 7: Hello?

1707
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,680
Speaker 2: You all cheer when Mookie Betts goes up and Van

1708
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,560
drelichen Is in his book talked about the Dodgers being

1709
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:08,640
involved in skin cheating as well in using illegal means

1710
01:14:09,159 --> 01:14:10,159
to steal signs.

1711
01:14:10,359 --> 01:14:12,239
Speaker 1: I am head of rob Manford pr At.

1712
01:14:12,239 --> 01:14:13,399
Speaker 2: The Astros were the only.

1713
01:14:13,279 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: One to do anything. Oh my scapegoat.

1714
01:14:16,399 --> 01:14:19,640
Speaker 4: Don't believe anything else on any other organization doing anything.

1715
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:23,279
Speaker 3: In seventeen and eighteen. According to Evan Drelich's book Winning

1716
01:14:23,359 --> 01:14:27,239
Fixes Everything, teams talking about the Dodgers cheating.

1717
01:14:27,279 --> 01:14:29,640
Speaker 2: We know that the Red Sox did. For a fact.

1718
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:33,479
The Yankees did for a fact. Not only don't talk

1719
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:34,600
about this, this is making me upset.

1720
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:36,880
Speaker 4: I when I was in Dodger it was in Famaway

1721
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,560
Park earlier this year, and this Red Sox fan getting

1722
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,960
into your cheaters. Yes, some second manager started that, what

1723
01:14:43,039 --> 01:14:43,840
are you talking about?

1724
01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:44,359
Speaker 8: Oh?

1725
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean the cognitive dissonance is astounding.

1726
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 3: You have very very easy examples to point out Red

1727
01:14:55,079 --> 01:14:59,640
Sox Apple Watch, Red Sox twenty eighteen, the mastermind of

1728
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,880
the seventeen scandal and the manager of the eighteen Red

1729
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:06,279
Sox Alex Cora, fired and back in the fold, and

1730
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:09,000
somehow still the Astros are the poster boy of this.

1731
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,640
How are the Red Sox not the poster boy with

1732
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,600
everything that I just laid out because they they begged

1733
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,720
on some trash cans instead of using Apple Watch.

1734
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 4: Well, the city a Red Sox fan is yelling, Jesus

1735
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:21,079
Sanchez just got to the team, and he's like, chetera.

1736
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 3: What about about twenty seventeen Houston Astro Taskar Hernandez right now.

1737
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:28,560
Speaker 2: He played one game. I think he got hurt on

1738
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:28,960
the team.

1739
01:15:29,079 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: He was on the team. He's got a ring. You

1740
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:34,159
didn't ask him to take it back because because everybody's like.

1741
01:15:34,239 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 3: When you when you tell people that al two, they

1742
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,640
didn't do it, They're like, well, yeah, he should have

1743
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:38,319
stopped everyone.

1744
01:15:38,359 --> 01:15:39,159
Speaker 1: He should have stepped up.

1745
01:15:39,159 --> 01:15:41,039
Speaker 2: He should have said something in the clubhouse and she

1746
01:15:41,119 --> 01:15:42,600
should he should have told everyone.

1747
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,199
Speaker 1: No, shame on you. We'll Taskar Hernandez didn't do that.

1748
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:46,560
We're gonna shame him too.

1749
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 2: Gordy, I hate you.

1750
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: You gotta be fired up about all this.

1751
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,279

01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,039
So there's I don't know she was involved in it

1780
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:30,279

1782
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:42,279
as far as the Dodgers, go ahead, Yeah, look at

1783
01:17:42,319 --> 01:17:44,079
Cody Bellinger's batting average.

1784
01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.

1785
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 7: You know, cheating? Were they not cheating?

1786
01:17:52,039 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 3: Well, if you look at one guy's batting average, probably

1787
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:56,479
that isn't going to tell you the whole story, because

1788
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,279
I mean we can flip that on its head. Of course,

1789
01:17:58,359 --> 01:18:00,600
we know that jose Al two vays or uh, who's

1790
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:02,960
batting average went way up in twenty seventeen and went

1791
01:18:03,039 --> 01:18:05,279
back down, was like Marlon Gonzales or somebody like that.

1792
01:18:06,319 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 9: I don't know.

1793
01:18:07,239 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 3: Uh, But Cody Bellinger, I mean he still had a

1794
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:14,119
lengthy career since. Uh he had a nice bounce back

1795
01:18:14,119 --> 01:18:15,640
here with the Yankees actually, and he was good with

1796
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,800
the Cubs last year, so I mean the year before anyways.

1797
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,760
All right, on that note, we're gonna take quick break here.

1798
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,880
Chris Gordy is sitting in for Matt Thomas. I am, uh, well,

1799
01:18:26,039 --> 01:18:28,560
I'm here is from Ohio. By the way, he is

1800
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,079
from OHI well, yeah, I brought that up. He's from Youngstown, Ohio.

1801
01:18:31,159 --> 01:18:35,000
That guy said Cleveland. Also apparently he that's his baby mama,

1802
01:18:35,039 --> 01:18:37,520
that apparently he had when he was like seventeen eighteen,

1803
01:18:38,199 --> 01:18:43,600
and he said the kid. The kid was playing basketball

1804
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:45,520
in the cul de sac and it was sad. Thank

1805
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,760

1806
01:18:48,239 --> 01:18:50,479

1823
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,359
really wrestling over what he should be for Halloween.

1824
01:19:37,279 --> 01:19:40,600
Speaker 5: So go ahead, you and the lady going out. No,

1825
01:19:41,079 --> 01:19:43,000
you know what you're gonna be if we went out,

1826
01:19:43,159 --> 01:19:45,680
Actually I don't know. I know she wants to be

1827
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:49,600
Wednesday from the like this, okay, and then you could

1828
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:52,520
be what's the dad's name? Yeah, it don't be the dad.

1829
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,640
I guess it's weird go mess Gomez.

1830
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what.

1831
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:59,640
Speaker 4: The most one of the easy popular costumes I've seen

1832
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:03,880
this year people buying it's like a uh, forget, it's

1833
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,840
like a hard hat or reflector vest or whatever.

1834
01:20:06,119 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 2: It's basically the jewel thiefs from them.

1835
01:20:10,079 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 1: That's not bad.

1836
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,039
Speaker 3: And we get a hammer, although I don't if they're

1837
01:20:13,039 --> 01:20:14,600
gonna let you into the club with the hammer. That

1838
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:18,319
could be dangerous. And be careful out there, folks Halloween,

1839
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,359
and be careful out there, uber drivers. It's gonna get

1840
01:20:21,399 --> 01:20:23,319
pretty pricey and you're gonna have some crazy folks. Like

1841
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,359
if you're like an uber driver on Halloween, do you

1842
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:27,880
even do? I mean, that's time to make big fares

1843
01:20:28,359 --> 01:20:30,079
but also people are like getting in there with like

1844
01:20:30,199 --> 01:20:33,359
face paint and god knows what else. Yeah, and then

1845
01:20:33,359 --> 01:20:35,600
you got fake blood. You got fake blood all over

1846
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:38,319
your back seat. That's not good for anybody. All right,

1847
01:20:38,399 --> 01:20:40,720
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety is

1848
01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:42,560
the phone number you know. Since go to your hanging out,

1849
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,319
I do want to talk a little college football. So

1850
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:48,600
we were talking about this, uh, like the the microwave generation,

1851
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,760
the instant gratification generation, how it's getting even worse and

1852
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:52,439
worse and worse.

1853
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 2: And now I mean, are we just carrening downhill?

1854
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:57,520
Speaker 3: And this is how it's gonna be the new normal

1855
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,560
in college football because you have all of these programs.

1856
01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:02,720
And I always bring this up with Matt because he's

1857
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:04,520
always like, well, if Texas doesn't win a championship in

1858
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,279
three years, it's a massive failure. Well, yeah, you can

1859
01:21:07,359 --> 01:21:10,680
point to like ten other programs that are saying that, Alabama, Florida,

1860
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:15,680
Florida State, LSU. There are like ten to fifteen programs

1861
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,600
who say, if we're not winning championships, we're failing. Well,

1862
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,880
only one team can win the championship every year. I

1863
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:24,600
mean that's just how it goes. So you're gonna have

1864
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:27,600
all these programs who are disappointed, and you have a

1865
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:31,520
team like Penn State that made the semi final and

1866
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:35,439
then now literally six games later, they're they're firing their coach.

1867
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 4: But let's back it up a little because James Frankel

1868
01:21:39,119 --> 01:21:42,600
was given how many years there at at Penn State.

1869
01:21:43,159 --> 01:21:45,479
Speaker 2: But do you think a lot of really good seasons?

1870
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 4: Yes, a lot of ten to eleven win seasons, but

1871
01:21:48,079 --> 01:21:50,920
go look up his record against like top ten teams.

1872
01:21:51,079 --> 01:21:54,600
It was something like four and twenty something like. He

1873
01:21:55,319 --> 01:21:56,680
could never win the big game.

1874
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,279
Speaker 3: It wasn't great for sure, but he had he had

1875
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,760
Flet's see one, two, three, five top ten finishes.

1876
01:22:04,319 --> 01:22:07,239
Speaker 1: Okay at Penn State, but eventually you got to get

1877
01:22:07,279 --> 01:22:07,800
over the hump.

1878
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:13,039
Speaker 4: And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

1879
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,399
twelve seasons, they are never getting over the hump.

1880
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,079
Speaker 3: So if you to put somebody else, I mean it's

1881
01:22:17,119 --> 01:22:21,079
Penn State. Though Okay, Penn State isn't in Texas or

1882
01:22:21,159 --> 01:22:23,920
Louisiana adjacent to Texas as well, which Louisiana itself, of

1883
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,479
course is a fertile recruiting ground, but I mean California,

1884
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:29,439
Florida doing that in at Penn State. I think he

1885
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,600
was doing a pretty good job overall. It could it

1886
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,720
have been bet job, especially in bigger games. Absolutely, But

1887
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:37,199
how many times when he did lose those big games

1888
01:22:37,239 --> 01:22:40,239
against Ohio State and Michigan did he have did did

1889
01:22:40,279 --> 01:22:42,359
people think that he had the best football team? Did

1890
01:22:42,399 --> 01:22:44,760
the people think that he was making huge mistakes and

1891
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:47,079
he was just a horrible coach? Or they got beat

1892
01:22:47,119 --> 01:22:51,239
by better football teams? Well, I mean more talented football teams.

1893
01:22:51,239 --> 01:22:53,199
I should say as well. How many times in those

1894
01:22:53,239 --> 01:22:56,279
matchups against Ohio State and Michigan in Oregon, did James

1895
01:22:56,319 --> 01:22:57,960
Franklin have the most talented team?

1896
01:22:58,199 --> 01:22:58,359
Speaker 1: Wow?

1897
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:01,319
Speaker 4: I mean it's very few top ten talent though. You

1898
01:23:01,399 --> 01:23:07,279
had a Saquon Barkley dual Carter, some dudes, and it

1899
01:23:07,319 --> 01:23:10,520
ain't like you were little old you know, SMU trying

1900
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,439
to get by, like you've had elite talent. I think

1901
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:15,720
that's a pretty fair standard though for a Penn State

1902
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:17,720
because here's everybody's got different standards.

1903
01:23:19,039 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 2: Alabama, the expectation is very real.

1904
01:23:21,079 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 4: You're supposed to make the playoff every year, and you're

1905
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,119
supposed to win a championship once every couple of years.

1906
01:23:25,399 --> 01:23:27,439
That's the that's the standard say have been created there.

1907
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,359
I think in the second tier, you've got schools in

1908
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,600
Ohio State. I probably may even push up there once

1909
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:35,880
every two to three years. The expectations of Ohio State,

1910
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:37,119
we should be playing for it.

1911
01:23:37,239 --> 01:23:38,239
Speaker 2: Okay, who else is up there?

1912
01:23:38,279 --> 01:23:41,279
Speaker 3: Then Georgia probably Georgie's probably three teams said you need

1913
01:23:41,359 --> 01:23:42,520
to be winning every three years.

1914
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's the only teams that can win.

1915
01:23:44,039 --> 01:23:46,560
Speaker 4: Champions I think the next tier is teams that once

1916
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,159
every four to five years, we think we should be

1917
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:53,399
maybe have a championship caliber team. And that's where I

1918
01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:56,279
put l s U. That's where I put Texas. That's

1919
01:23:56,319 --> 01:23:58,920
where I put The boosters at Texas will disagree with you.

1920
01:23:59,119 --> 01:24:01,479
They think they're in tier. I know they haven't proven

1921
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:02,840
that in the last twenty years.

1922
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 2: But I mean two semi final runs, that's the thing.

1923
01:24:06,199 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 3: You're talking about expectations. But what are these boosters who

1924
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,960
are pouring millions into the program. They think they should

1925
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,159
be in that Alabama tier. And I'm talking about guys

1926
01:24:13,199 --> 01:24:16,800
at Florida, booschers at Florida, but people, I mean, yeah,

1927
01:24:17,039 --> 01:24:17,319
but no.

1928
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:20,319
Speaker 4: Florida's in that tea. I'd put Florida in that tier

1929
01:24:20,399 --> 01:24:23,279
with the LSUS of like once every four to five years.

1930
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:26,640
They're not going to run you off after one bad

1931
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:29,520
year or two bad years. Like because again people understand,

1932
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:31,039
like if you just had a team that won on

1933
01:24:31,079 --> 01:24:33,920
a championship run and then you lose your gut it,

1934
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:35,319
you lose all those people and you go seven to

1935
01:24:35,399 --> 01:24:37,479
five next year, most people are I totally get it,

1936
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,279
we got gutted, but let's rebuild. We're rebuilding for that

1937
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:43,960
next year. But for people like Brian Kelly, you had

1938
01:24:44,039 --> 01:24:46,600
four years to prove it. By year four, this was

1939
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:49,119
his most talented team. This was supposed to be the

1940
01:24:49,159 --> 01:24:51,159
team that could make a championship run. Now again with

1941
01:24:51,279 --> 01:24:54,119
the twelve team playoff, nobody was saying win a championship.

1942
01:24:54,119 --> 01:24:56,760
They were saying, make a deep playoff run.

1943
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 3: That's what the expectation and what it what it was

1944
01:24:59,079 --> 01:25:01,800
bretton Brian Kelly's season, I mean, well, the first couple

1945
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:03,439
of years when he was pretty good, they didn't have

1946
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:05,000
they didn't have a twelve team plays.

1947
01:25:05,199 --> 01:25:08,039
Speaker 4: First year they beat Alabama, they won the SEC West. Yeah,

1948
01:25:09,359 --> 01:25:11,840
and then the next year he has Jane Daniels wins

1949
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:14,640
the Heisman. But you have historically the worst defense you've

1950
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:15,680
ever had in the history.

1951
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: Of La shoe.

1952
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 2: Uh apparently, Matt Thomas is what what do you want?

1953
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 6: Man?

1954
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: Are you?

1955
01:25:20,279 --> 01:25:20,520
Speaker 7: Are you?

1956
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:21,479
Speaker 2: Are you awake?

1957
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 9: I watched every bit of that game last night. Do

1958
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:30,239
you believe me or not? Not that it's accurate?

1959
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,399
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm just driving to the airport and during this

1960
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,840
show a great conversation.

1961
01:25:35,039 --> 01:25:36,359
Speaker 9: What do you what are your quartek?

1962
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:37,199
Speaker 1: Where are you?

1963
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 2: Oh, you're in Houston, Texas. I don't know where you were.

1964
01:25:40,159 --> 01:25:42,119
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm going to I don't know what I thought.

1965
01:25:42,399 --> 01:25:44,119
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, I thought the plane left after the game

1966
01:25:44,239 --> 01:25:44,560
or something.

1967
01:25:46,319 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 10: No, I mean, I wouldn't be terrible. Extra time in

1968
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:50,960
canad would be nice. You know, Kim Morton's in a

1969
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:52,720
good exchange rate. But that's not the reason why.

1970
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:54,279
Speaker 2: How's your passport looking.

1971
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:56,760
Speaker 9: Updated?

1972
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:57,159
Speaker 1: By the way?

1973
01:25:57,319 --> 01:26:01,520
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, great? All right, what do you want?

1974
01:26:03,199 --> 01:26:06,199
Speaker 10: Well, I'm gonna say my point about not winning a

1975
01:26:06,279 --> 01:26:07,880
championship is being a failure.

1976
01:26:08,039 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 9: Look at all these coaches that are listening to their jobs.

1977
01:26:10,199 --> 01:26:11,199
It's proven my point.

1978
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,359
Speaker 1: You all this money, it's proving nil.

1979
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 9: All this absolutely prove my point.

1980
01:26:17,279 --> 01:26:19,760
Speaker 10: Nobody has nobody has time to ill programs you spend

1981
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:23,560
all this money you win. Ya think if uh Texas

1982
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,239
Tech doesn't win a national championship, they're gonna fire everybody there.

1983
01:26:26,319 --> 01:26:28,760
Speaker 9: Oh hell yeah he's going to Yeah, but.

1984
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 3: Don't you think, But don't you think that's a ridiculous

1985
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,079
standard to hold every single you're holding fifteen to twenty

1986
01:26:33,279 --> 01:26:34,880
and if you throw Texas Tech in there and some

1987
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,119
other nil programs, you're getting up to like twenty programs.

1988
01:26:38,239 --> 01:26:41,000
We need to be winning the championship. And like Gordy said,

1989
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:43,279
there's three teams he named that should be winning the championship, Well,

1990
01:26:43,279 --> 01:26:46,039
then that's all the championships. Like, it's just unrealistic to

1991
01:26:46,159 --> 01:26:48,199
me that everybody thinks they should be winning all the time.

1992
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,039
Speaker 4: There's a group of twenty teams though that I say,

1993
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,479
they should have been have a chance to compete.

1994
01:26:55,359 --> 01:26:58,359
Speaker 2: And and four to five years is a good enough

1995
01:26:58,399 --> 01:26:58,960
sample size.

1996
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:02,319
Speaker 4: Nobody's firing coaches at after one year it's Jeff s

1997
01:27:02,319 --> 01:27:05,520
traklo is there, twelve years there, they're getting a rope.

1998
01:27:06,039 --> 01:27:08,600
But you gotta at least show you have a chance

1999
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,680
to get there. And Brian Kelly was showing he was

2000
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:12,600
never going to get there.

2001
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:15,520
Speaker 3: You think if Brian Kelly stayed there ten more years,

2002
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:17,159
they would have never won a championship.

2003
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 4: Well, you don't get ten years, you get five, and

2004
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:23,880
this was supposed to be his year. It takes the

2005
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:26,800
next step. So I think it's fair. I think it's

2006
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,239
fair to give these coaches. Look at Billion Napier, he

2007
01:27:29,399 --> 01:27:30,840
massively underachieved at Florida.

2008
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:31,640
Speaker 2: He got four.

2009
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,079
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's that's enough timetable to tell, is this

2010
01:27:35,159 --> 01:27:36,520
guy's going to be a championship coach.

2011
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 3: I think the expectations programmed to program. If you add

2012
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:44,279
it all up, it's just ridiculous. The expectations go ahead.

2013
01:27:45,399 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: I agree.

2014
01:27:46,199 --> 01:27:47,960
Speaker 9: I agree with you guys. I agree with you all.

2015
01:27:48,119 --> 01:27:49,319
It's totally unrealistic.

2016
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:53,279
Speaker 10: But I promise you Joey McGuire does not get Red

2017
01:27:53,359 --> 01:27:55,640
Raiders to a tournament in the next three years.

2018
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,359
Speaker 9: He's out of work. But staring in the story Clay Campbell,

2019
01:27:58,399 --> 01:27:59,840
I ain't paid all that cash for nothing.

2020
01:28:00,279 --> 01:28:01,199
Speaker 2: But that's another thing.

2021
01:28:01,279 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 3: That's another interesting discussion is for me, is like, who

2022
01:28:04,239 --> 01:28:07,199
was Joey McGuire a hot candidate anywhere? No, all of

2023
01:28:07,279 --> 01:28:11,640
a sudden, Joey McGuire is this smart top ten coach

2024
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,560
because he got players so.

2025
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:15,359
Speaker 2: I think that's fair.

2026
01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,720
Speaker 4: Though they went out and bought a top ten roster.

2027
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,000
If you can't win with that, then nets on coaching.

2028
01:28:21,119 --> 01:28:25,079
Speaker 3: No, I understand that, But nobody thought that Joey McGuire

2029
01:28:25,199 --> 01:28:27,399
was some kind of genius coach before this year and

2030
01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:28,760
all of a sudden they're in the top ten.

2031
01:28:29,239 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 2: It's because it comes down.

2032
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:31,680
Speaker 1: To the players.

2033
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:33,359
Speaker 2: He was thought of it as a pretty good coach.

2034
01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 3: I think there's a certain baseline you hit where it

2035
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,680
kind of it comes down to the player. Especially in

2036
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:40,239
the NIL age, it comes down more to the players

2037
01:28:40,239 --> 01:28:44,800
that you're able to acquire than the coaching nanny would be.

2038
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:46,279
Speaker 2: Probably, how did you say?

2039
01:28:46,319 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 4: It look like absolute dog crap under Deshaun what's his face?

2040
01:28:50,199 --> 01:28:52,199
And the minute they fire him? They beat Penn's State?

2041
01:28:52,359 --> 01:28:56,720
Speaker 2: What happened last week? They lost like fifty six to three.

2042
01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:59,359
But what I'm saying is was that the talent or

2043
01:28:59,520 --> 01:28:59,960
was that coach?

2044
01:29:00,159 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 4: Cause clearly can you say I had the talent to

2045
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:04,840
beat Penn State, to beat whoever they beat the next week?

2046
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 2: Like, uh, let me go, I'm trying to find the

2047
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,079
didn't they just get stomped?

2048
01:29:08,159 --> 01:29:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2049
01:29:08,359 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 2: They lost fifty six to six. The three games. Part

2050
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,720
of that. They won three games and they just lost

2051
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,800
fifty six to six because that's a team. Oh yeah,

2052
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:19,439
well no, you said the coaching matters. So all of

2053
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:21,560
a sudden, the genius coach lost fifty six to six.

2054
01:29:22,159 --> 01:29:24,199
Speaker 4: You're saying it's only on the players. I'm saying I

2055
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:26,239
say that. I didn't say it's only on the players.

2056
01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:30,199
If Kurt Georgia anything else. For winning twelve, we got

2057
01:29:30,239 --> 01:29:30,520
to hit the.

2058
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:31,199
Speaker 1: Top of the r Matt.

2062
01:29:41,359 --> 01:29:44,039
it's better than the Star Spangled banner. What was the

2063
01:29:44,239 --> 01:29:47,359
what was the final tally on that on that instaple

2064
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:50,000
one day? I think yeah, eight to one. Maybe we

2065
01:29:50,159 --> 01:29:52,479
took like ten people before he got one. All right, Corny,

2066

2112
01:31:47,359 --> 01:31:50,479
I know this, you know NFL, and well serious probably

2113
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:52,520
didn't get a lot of catch the Rockets game. They

2114
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,359
end up they do take the Brooklyn next down one

2115
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:58,319
thirty seven to one oh nine, improving no records of

2116
01:31:58,399 --> 01:32:00,920
one and two. Not what we we were gonna start off,

2117
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:03,640
but you know it was alright, Shin Gun going for

2118
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:07,039
seven and eleven from the field, two from two for three,

2119
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:11,399
twenty one points, six rebounds, six assist. Torry Easton finally

2120
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:13,920
showing up and giving us what he was supposed to

2121
01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:15,560
be doing any last two games. He didn't really show

2122
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:17,279
it out those first two games, give us eight and

2123
01:32:17,359 --> 01:32:21,439
twelve five seven from three and five rebounds.

2124
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:23,560
Speaker 2: Man, did you see what shoes he was wearing?

2125
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:24,560
Speaker 7: Well?

2126
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:26,600
Speaker 5: Shoot, not, I is I actually I didn't say anything.

2127
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:30,359
He was wearing the Angel Reese me Bound signature shoes.

2128
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,479
You know, Okay, it's a hot, Tay boy. Really, I

2129
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:34,439
think they're really nice.

2130
01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 1: Torry Easton agrees with you. I think that I think

2131
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:38,720
the nice the nice.

2132
01:32:39,159 --> 01:32:39,279
Speaker 11: Uh.

2133
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,239
Speaker 2: And I was wearing the Reebok Uh.

2134
01:32:42,359 --> 01:32:45,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're called the me Bounds Reebok Angel

2135
01:32:45,279 --> 01:32:45,960
Reese ones.

2136
01:32:46,239 --> 01:32:48,119
Speaker 2: He was wearing those last night. He was bawling out.

2137
01:32:48,239 --> 01:32:50,279
He's gotta keep wearing them. It went for d let

2138
01:32:50,319 --> 01:32:52,039
the team with twenty two points wearing the Mebound.

2139
01:32:52,079 --> 01:32:54,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, because after the OKC game he looked like he

2140
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:56,239
was he didn't get that rookie attention.

2141
01:32:56,359 --> 01:32:58,239
Speaker 3: And are you much of a sneakrad Jonathan? Are you

2142
01:32:58,359 --> 01:33:00,359
just like wearing whatever now? I wear whatever I used

2143
01:33:00,359 --> 01:33:02,039
to be. I mean it's expensive.

2144
01:33:02,199 --> 01:33:03,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happen.

2145
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 1: And when you're in track, you spend so much money

2146
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:06,399
on like running shoots.

2147
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that game. Man's like, man, I would be a sneakerhead,

2148
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:11,560
but I just don't have the funds.

2149
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:14,239
Speaker 1: I don't got fifty for you.

2150
01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:16,079
Speaker 5: And I'm not gonna wear him every day. I'm gonna

2151
01:33:16,079 --> 01:33:17,359
wear him what once a month.

2152
01:33:18,079 --> 01:33:20,800
Speaker 3: I don't you know exactly. You had to wait for

2153
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:22,640
the market to go up on him. It's a whole thing,

2154
01:33:23,039 --> 01:33:25,319
all right. Anyways, Uh yeah, So a nice win by

2155
01:33:25,359 --> 01:33:28,319
the Rockets. You mentioned the twenty two points by Tarry Easton.

2156
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:31,880
It was a breakout game. I mean literally two games in.

2157
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,159
I was seeing people who.

2158
01:33:34,199 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 2: Follow the Rockets like, man, I can't believe Tarry Easton,

2159
01:33:37,079 --> 01:33:38,680
you bet on himself. I mean, he's got to be

2160
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,920
regretting all the millions he's costing himself not taking that

2161
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:43,039
extension from the Rockets.

2162
01:33:43,399 --> 01:33:47,119
Speaker 5: Two games in, guys, you know number three, but you're

2163
01:33:47,159 --> 01:33:49,119
talking about because that first game he looked like he

2164
01:33:49,239 --> 01:33:50,039
was just out the dumps.

2165
01:33:50,079 --> 01:33:50,840
Speaker 7: It wasn't. It wasn't.

2166
01:33:52,359 --> 01:33:53,199
Speaker 1: Man, he's all good.

2167
01:33:53,319 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 3: Tory Easton is a dog man. He's gonna be okay.

2168
01:33:56,239 --> 01:33:57,840
If there's one thing we know, it's gonna be his

2169
01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:01,000
competitive fire. Yes, he only scored three and four points

2170
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,399
in the first two games, but exploded for twenty two

2171
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:04,720
points against the Brooklyn.

2172
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 5: Nets, so hopefully we see that again. Of course, I

2173
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:09,000
just want to give you know, Reeve Shepherd actually showed

2174
01:34:09,079 --> 01:34:10,479
up that he can do a little Something's got that

2175
01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:13,880
pressure on them. Six for eleven, three for seven, the

2176
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:15,439
three point at least taking those shots.

2177
01:34:15,479 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 1: I know he was a little nervous and.

2178
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:19,800
Speaker 5: Okay, see, but he got the job done, got a

2179
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:23,279
little fifteen points if y'all have missed that game. And

2180
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:29,319
I wanted to bring up I know, Monday, Sorry, yeah, Monday.

2181
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:32,439
Matt yesterday was talking about the NBA and a membo

2182
01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:34,800
about the gambling, and I wanted to make sure I

2183
01:34:35,079 --> 01:34:36,840
got that with this little member that.

2184
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 2: Gave this is the are you gonna read the whole memo?

2185
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:41,319
I was gonna parapise.

2186
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 1: I just kidding.

2187
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 2: Everybody needs to be yeah, yeah, but the risks of gambling.

2188
01:34:46,199 --> 01:34:49,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the reoccurrence of the integrity issues across sports

2189
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:52,960
and the emergency emergence of novel betting formats and markets,

2190
01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:56,920
this is an opportune time to carefully reassess how sports

2191
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:58,199
betting should be regulated.

2192
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 1: And this has coming out for an NBA saying they

2193
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:01,119
might have to come.

2194
01:35:01,079 --> 01:35:02,960
Speaker 3: With Adam Silver and the NBA are like, hey, guys,

2195
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,119
it's not us. It's not us taking all this money

2196
01:35:05,199 --> 01:35:07,079
and all of our players who are getting involved in

2197
01:35:07,079 --> 01:35:11,680
these betting skilt. It's the sports books and the legislators.

2198
01:35:12,119 --> 01:35:14,560
They need to figure out how to regulate this. It's

2199
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:18,640
not us the NBA. Very funny, we're all looking or

2200
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:20,119
you see that meme where the guy's wearing the hot

2201
01:35:20,159 --> 01:35:22,760
dog suit, We're all looking for the guy who did

2202
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:25,319
this because the hot dog mobile like crashes into the house.

2203
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:28,039
Oh I know it's yeah, yeah, that's from uh what

2204
01:35:28,159 --> 01:35:30,680
is that called something, Tim Robinson? I think you should

2205
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:31,680
leave with Tim Robinson.

2206
01:35:32,239 --> 01:35:34,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know you're talking about. Yeah, we're all

2207
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:37,640
looking for the guy who did this. Yeah, it was you.

2208
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:38,199
Speaker 2: NBA.

2209
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:40,399
Speaker 3: You've taken all that money and you're they're not gonna

2210
01:35:40,399 --> 01:35:42,239
stop taking the money. I mean people are like, yeah,

2211
01:35:42,279 --> 01:35:44,399
maybe you know they're gonna dial back all this revenue.

2212
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:45,319
Speaker 1: Yeah right.

2213
01:35:45,880 --> 01:35:48,680
Speaker 2: You get in these owner meetings, they're seeing record revenues.

2214
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:50,640
And one of the reasons they've done that is because

2215
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:52,520
they've been taking all this cash from the sport. This

2216
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:56,000
the sports books now that's gonna go away and not

2217
01:35:56,159 --> 01:35:56,560
go away.

2218
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 3: I think at some point that'll go down somewhat because

2219
01:36:00,119 --> 01:36:02,000
I don't think that the legal sports betting.

2220
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:03,279
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be initial pop.

2221
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:05,760
Speaker 3: You're gonna have people that kind of lose enough money

2222
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:07,319
to say, hey, you know what, I can't do this anymore,

2223
01:36:07,319 --> 01:36:08,119
and they get out of the game.

2224
01:36:08,359 --> 01:36:09,399
Speaker 2: I saw this with poker.

2225
01:36:10,279 --> 01:36:12,319
Speaker 3: When this is another back in my day for you,

2226
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:15,119
Jonathan Allen two thousand and three, How old were you?

2227
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:19,680
Negative one one? There was this huge poker boom. It

2228
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:21,880
was party poker, it was full tilled poker, it was

2229
01:36:21,960 --> 01:36:24,840
poker stars. They were making all these millions. Everybody was

2230
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:27,199
playing online poker because a Chris money this guy named

2231
01:36:27,279 --> 01:36:30,520
Chris money Maker who was a stone cold amateur, won

2232
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:33,159
the World Series of Poker. Everybody's like, I can do that.

2233
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:35,560
So there was a big poker boom and even I

2234
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:37,319
was going I was I was I.

2235
01:36:37,399 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 1: Was bagging my remp with my poker money that I

2236
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:40,199
was making.

2237
01:36:40,239 --> 01:36:41,680
Speaker 2: And I was like, I gonna do this forever. This

2238
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:42,279
is amazing.

2239
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:44,520
Speaker 3: And then it died down eventually because people who are

2240
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:46,720
losing and bad at it, they eventually get out of

2241
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:50,600
the game. So people who are gambling either A gambling

2242
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:52,279
addicts who need to get out of the game and

2243
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:54,840
go cold turkey, or B people who were like, you

2244
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:56,760
know what, this isn't worth it. I'm losing too much money.

2245
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:59,760
My wife is getting is getting upset. She's looking at

2246
01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:01,840
our bank statements and she's saying, I gotta quit this.

2247
01:37:02,159 --> 01:37:05,800
Like the the numbers will go down eventually, I think,

2248
01:37:06,159 --> 01:37:09,279
but it to to what extent we we will continue

2249
01:37:09,319 --> 01:37:09,560
to see.

2250
01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the mafia is involved, and you know, we

2251
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:15,800
don't ask me how to play poker, so let's go

2252
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:16,840
play some poker that sounds.

2253
01:37:18,359 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 1: And of course we got to talk.

2254
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:26,800
Speaker 5: About the two AM World Series eighteen innings. Oh tani, guys,

2255

Speaker 2: Guys, I don't even know. I don't even know how

2262
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:49,319
many times has a guy got nine times on base

2263
01:37:49,399 --> 01:37:49,800
in any game?

2264
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:50,000
Speaker 7: Ever?

2265
01:37:50,159 --> 01:37:53,079
Speaker 5: We are seeing the Jackie Robinson babe brute this that

2267
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:56,439
rush in it, watch it.

2268
01:37:57,039 --> 01:37:58,199
Speaker 2: I have I have a hot take.

2269
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take though it's the greatest player of

2270
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:02,800
all time.

2271
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:05,119
Speaker 5: It's the greatest. No, and I'm agree with you, it's

2272
01:38:05,119 --> 01:38:06,800
the greatest painter. I don't want to I don't want

2273
01:38:06,840 --> 01:38:08,079
to be bootlecking, but I'm.

2274
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:11,640
Speaker 2: Just saying he's throwing six inning shutout with ten strikeouts

2275
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:14,680
and then he hits three moms wed.

2276
01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:17,560
Speaker 5: You we realize how stupid that is, single handedly keeping

2277
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:21,039
the Dodgers back in the game five and five and

2278
01:38:21,119 --> 01:38:23,800
going to eighteen innings for Freeman to walk it off.

2279
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:26,760
Speaker 1: I fell asleep on the fourteenth. I tried.

2280
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:30,560
Speaker 5: That's why I'm groggy today, guys. But it was just

2281
01:38:30,880 --> 01:38:33,119
a game you had to watch, and you gotta keep

2282
01:38:33,119 --> 01:38:33,399
watching it.

2283
01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:35,359
Speaker 2: Apparently there was a guy who got nine hits in

2284
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,079
a game back in there.

2285
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,920
Speaker 1: He tied the major league back. Yeah it was it

2286
01:38:43,119 --> 01:38:44,319
was Shifty Burnett.

2287
01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:52,399
Speaker 2: No, that wasn't his name. Johnny Burnett And okay, Johnny

2288
01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:55,960
Barnett nineteen thirty two, Max carry In nineteen twenty two

2289
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,039
and Stan Hack. I mean, is that the most nineteen

2290
01:38:58,079 --> 01:38:59,079
forties names you ever heard.

2291
01:38:59,359 --> 01:39:03,000
Speaker 3: Stan Stan Hacked to the mad folks, and those are

2292
01:39:03,119 --> 01:39:04,479
these are all in eighteen inning games.

2293
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:04,920
Speaker 1: By the way.

2294
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:07,840
Speaker 3: That's funny, though, everybody. All four of the guys who

2295
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:10,439
shared the record were in nineteen eight excuse me, eighteen

2296
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:14,039
inning games. Max Carrey, whoever the hell that is, did it.

2297
01:39:14,119 --> 01:39:15,840
In an eighteen inning game. He had six hits and

2298
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:16,399

2299
01:39:17,359 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 2: Nine hits.

2300
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 3: Johnny Burnett's to go nine straight hits, no walks. He said,

2301
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:22,279
you guys are walking. Y'all are chumps.

2302
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:25,720
Speaker 2: Nine hits, nine hits in nine innings in an eighteen

2303
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,920
inning game. Eighteen Okay, okay, I say Stan Hack had

2304
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:31,119
five hits and four walks in an eighteen in game.

2305
01:39:32,319 --> 01:39:34,279
Oh Tani has the most walks on this hit on

2306
01:39:34,359 --> 01:39:38,039
this list. He had a five walks, four of them intentional.

2307
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:40,800

01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:00,880

2315
01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:06,439

2316
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:07,840
the CBS Sports until a couple minutes.

a lot of different stuff that has been going on.

2382
01:43:22,079 --> 01:43:25,279
I mean, that World Series game was incredible last night.

2383
01:43:25,399 --> 01:43:27,399
I know it still hurts that it's the Dodgers, and

2384
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:28,680
I wanted the Dodgers to win.

2385
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm with you. I was rooting for

2386
01:43:31,039 --> 01:43:31,720
the Blue Jays.

2387
01:43:33,399 --> 01:43:36,079
Speaker 2: They didn't get it done, and they got Shoho Tani

2388
01:43:36,159 --> 01:43:40,239
on the hill today going up against Shane Bieber. Let's

2389
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:42,239
go Blue Jays.

2390
01:43:42,399 --> 01:43:45,159
Speaker 3: But I mean, this is absolute freak show stuff getting

2391
01:43:45,199 --> 01:43:48,199
on base nine different times now, four of those were intentional,

2392
01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:50,119
and you know, I was kind of thinking about that

2393
01:43:50,199 --> 01:43:50,520
last night.

2394
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 2: I'm like, an, does it really count their intentional walks?

2395
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:53,680
I'm like, absolutely they count.

2396
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:55,800
Speaker 3: There's two freaking Hall of Famers in the lineup right

2397
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,199
behind him, and they're putting him on because he is

2398
01:43:58,279 --> 01:44:02,079
that dangerous Mookie Betts Freddie Freeman are the next two

2399
01:44:02,159 --> 01:44:05,119
guys in the lineup, and they're putting show Heyl Tawani

2400
01:44:05,239 --> 01:44:10,239
on base for free. He is that dangerous, crazy stuff

2401
01:44:10,279 --> 01:44:13,600
happening right now in baseball. I mean, it's it's a

2402
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:16,239
fun time right now with what he's doing.

2403
01:44:17,159 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 1: And what Wimby's doing. But we're here in Houston, so

2404
01:44:20,239 --> 01:44:22,640
we can that stuff comes with a grain of salt.

2405
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:25,000
But it is what it is.

2406
01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:27,560
Speaker 3: Seven one three two point two five seven ninety is

2407
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:31,520

Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm gonna get Yeah. Ross, I was watching that

2412
01:44:37,039 --> 01:44:40,479
Mississippi State game at Texas one. Yes, he's gonna be

2413
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:41,439
able to play this Saturday.

2414
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 3: He did not practice yesterday. I don't have word on

2415
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:48,520
him practicing today. I'm gonna guess it's gonna be Matthew Caldwell,

2416
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:52,600
the backup transfer from Troy who is a senior against

2417
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:53,760
Vanderbilt on Saturday.

2418
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:56,920
Speaker 2: If I had to guess, well, he threw that touchdown

2419
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:58,880
and overtime, So yes he did.

2420
01:44:59,119 --> 01:45:00,600
Speaker 1: That was nice cat.

2421
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:01,960
Speaker 2: That was a nice pitching catch there.

2422
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:06,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was an unbelievable catch. It was unbelievable. But yeah,

2423
01:45:06,840 --> 01:45:08,600
but I just kind of want enough. Art's gonna be

2424
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:10,079
able to show up or I don't know what happened

2425
01:45:10,119 --> 01:45:10,479
to I don't know.

2426
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 2: He got can cuss.

2427
01:45:11,720 --> 01:45:13,960
Speaker 3: So he was he was running and then he got

2428
01:45:14,119 --> 01:45:16,640
he he was getting tackled and then the initial hit.

2429
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:18,920
He was fine, but a second defender came in and

2430
01:45:19,119 --> 01:45:21,399
you know, to finish the tackle onn't dirty player or anything,

2431
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:24,640
just football. And with the with the second hit, his

2432
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:27,239
head slammed into the turf. It is very clear to

2433
01:45:27,319 --> 01:45:28,319
me that he got can cuss.

2434
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:31,399
Speaker 12: I saw him the knee. I mean I saw the hit,

2435
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:32,720
but it looked like they hit his knees.

2436
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:35,119
Speaker 3: I went, yeah, yeah, so if you look, if you

2437
01:45:35,199 --> 01:45:37,520
look again, you can see his head slam onto the turf.

2438
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:41,760
Speaker 12: Well, I was just call him basically, I was calling

2439
01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:42,439
him gut feelings.

2440
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:44,319
Speaker 2: Time you got any gut feelings?

2441
01:45:44,319 --> 01:45:44,720
Speaker 1: What you got?

2442
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:47,840
Speaker 12: Well, the gut feelings is the yo, Achel move into

2443
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:50,039
the top twenty. They'll move out of the top twenty

2444
01:45:50,079 --> 01:45:51,319
five and move into the top twenty.

2445
01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:55,079
Speaker 3: Okay next week, Yeah, well they they're home for West Virginia, right,

2446
01:45:55,119 --> 01:45:56,680
they should beat down the West Virginia.

2447
01:45:56,800 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 2: West Virginia's never yet.

2448
01:45:57,960 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 12: Yeah they should, Yeah they should. Thanks you Ross, thanks a.

2449
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,640
Speaker 3: Lot, appreciate you getting in James. Yeah, Cougar is obviously

2450
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,680
doing very well with coach Fritz. Seven and one on

2451
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:12,439
the season. Now, only loss was against Texas Tech. Somebody

2452
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,760
tweeted me with some gut feelings. It was Timothy Davis

2453
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:20,079
appreciate you. Ross Texans blow out the Broncos. I'm on

2454
01:46:20,199 --> 01:46:22,720
board with that. I don't know that that's gonna happen.

2455
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,960
I don't think that's gonna happen, but I'm on board

2456
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,279
with it. And he said uf H will only have

2457
01:46:28,399 --> 01:46:30,920
one loss at the end of the season. Now that

2458
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:35,319
will mean they are national champions. Right, they've lost one game,

2459
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,319
they win every other game, that means they're Big twelve

2460
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:42,640
champs and then their national champs. He makes me mean,

2461
01:46:42,880 --> 01:46:46,439
he probably means at the end of the regular season. Dude,

2462
01:46:46,600 --> 01:46:48,720
it's not crazy. It's not crazy to say the Cougars

2463
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:51,640
could get into the playoff if they now, if they

2464
01:46:51,720 --> 01:46:57,960
continue to win these games. SFA win was the catalyst

2465
01:46:58,359 --> 01:47:01,720
that the confidence they needed.

2466
01:47:02,279 --> 01:47:04,800
Speaker 1: I got you, Jacky'll be okay, It's okay, we got Yeah.

2467
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:05,479
Speaker 2: They took the check.

2468
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:07,520
Speaker 1: You take your ass whoop, and you take that check.

2469
01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:08,520
Speaker 2: Maybe it's all good.

2470
01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:12,079
Speaker 3: Gotta I gotta pay for the equipment for next year.

2471
01:47:12,159 --> 01:47:15,520
Gotta pay for those new new bleacher improvements. They need

2472
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:17,319
some more nuts and bolts for the bleachers out there.

2473
01:47:17,359 --> 01:47:21,199
They actually do so they're a little rickety out there

2474
01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:25,880
in nagadocious. What's that stadium called who's it named after? Uh?

2475
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:30,439
Speaker 1: A songwriter? Guy A blank? Oh, I know this too. Oh,

2476
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:33,000
that's gonna. I'm not ain't gonna look it up. I'm gonna.

2477
01:47:33,279 --> 01:47:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna look it up for you right now.

2478
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:40,960
Speaker 1: Homer, Bryce, Homer, that's my home of brass stadiums day.

2479
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:42,199
Speaker 2: You know what did Homer, Bryce do?

2480
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:46,239
Speaker 5: He dug the first well and nagadocios And if y'all

2481
01:47:46,239 --> 01:47:49,560
haven't been to say, I know, it's in a big hill.

2482
01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:51,880
It isn't like a little ditch like they just surrounded

2483
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:53,560
it and built it in the like two big hills.

2484
01:47:53,680 --> 01:47:55,920
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, the stadiums in the side of a ditch.

2485
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:59,720
Speaker 1: Like this too, So there's two big hills. I'm trying

2486
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:01,680
to just not make the jokes about you and your

2487
01:48:01,760 --> 01:48:04,199
stadium over there. That is two big battles. That's a

2488
01:48:04,279 --> 01:48:05,680
big hell. I know people can get.

2489
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:08,239
Speaker 2: People can get sensitive, and I know people don't cry

2490
01:48:08,319 --> 01:48:11,560
about it. You should mean things about my school.

2491
01:48:12,199 --> 01:48:14,000
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to be nice to u s FA.

2492
01:48:15,039 --> 01:48:19,600
But but John's not making it easy. He just said

2493
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:23,760
your stadium is in a ditch. It's what it is.

2494
01:48:25,199 --> 01:48:26,960
And they play concrete on the side.

2495
01:48:26,880 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 2: Eh, well, we want to build up a stadium, let's

2496
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:31,359
just build one on the side of a ditch.

2497
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:32,680
Speaker 1: See the foundation.

2498
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:35,880
Speaker 2: That's practical. That's called engineering, folks.

2499
01:48:36,159 --> 01:48:36,720
Speaker 1: That's what you do.

2500
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:40,039
Speaker 2: That's what the the smarts over there, all right?

2501
01:48:40,119 --> 01:48:42,560
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety is

2502
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:44,239
the phone number you want to get in Brian and

2503
01:48:44,319 --> 01:48:45,439
Pearland is next up.

2504
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:46,039
Speaker 2: What's up, Brian?

2505
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:48,960
Speaker 11: He got a heavy back here.

2506
01:48:49,079 --> 01:48:51,199
Speaker 1: Hey, glad to be back.

2507
01:48:52,319 --> 01:48:55,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, Hey, Michal last week called Matt. I gone up

2508
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:59,640
for the Texan Seahawks game. It was a good atmosphere,

2509
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:03,239
but there was nothing like that stadium. When Springer went

2510
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:07,199
deep an old astro to put Mariners fans out of

2511
01:49:07,239 --> 01:49:07,960
their own misery.

2512
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:10,640
Speaker 2: Uh what the fans, Brian?

2513
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:12,880
Speaker 3: What percentage of the fans like had their phone out

2514
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,359
and we're watching the Mariners The.

2515
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:21,399
Speaker 11: Ones around me probably seventy percent? Yeah, or the person

2516
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:24,039
next to them had it, so they were sharing with

2517
01:49:24,199 --> 01:49:29,039
their you know, the person there. But especially the groan

2518
01:49:29,119 --> 01:49:32,399
that went out when Julio struck out on strike three.

2519
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:35,720
That was the but they got loud when Raleigh put

2520
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:37,800
them up three to one, and then when Springer made

2521
01:49:37,840 --> 01:49:40,279
it four to three. We were walking around and told

2522
01:49:40,319 --> 01:49:42,720
Matt and there probably a couple of thousand Texan fans

2523
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:45,199
that made the trip, and we all kind of secretly

2524
01:49:45,239 --> 01:49:48,279
whispered it had to be Springer. It had to be

2525
01:49:48,399 --> 01:49:52,319
Springer to do that to Mariners fans. But real quick

2526
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:53,760
just went away and on someone.

2527
01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 12: I let Jonathan know about it.

2528
01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:58,359
Speaker 11: Just something NBA wise and people may not know, especially

2529
01:49:58,399 --> 01:49:59,399
when it comes to win Mey.

2530
01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:01,680
Speaker 7: And the Spurs.

2531
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:05,239
Speaker 11: There's actually a proposition going on in San Antonio right now.

2532
01:50:05,239 --> 01:50:07,199
I'm just something to keep your eye on in the

2533
01:50:07,319 --> 01:50:11,279
next few months, in maybe a year. The next Tuesday.

2534
01:50:11,319 --> 01:50:15,319
They have a funding boat going on currently for they

2535
01:50:15,359 --> 01:50:17,960
want to do a project Marvel similar to the Battery

2536
01:50:18,319 --> 01:50:22,039
in Atlanta. They want to move with Spurs back downtown

2537
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:25,640
and fund it with hotel and rental car taxes, like

2538
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:26,199
a lot.

2539
01:50:26,159 --> 01:50:27,279
Speaker 12: Of stadiums in that too.

2540
01:50:27,800 --> 01:50:30,600
Speaker 11: But there's getting a lot of pushback on that and

2541
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:33,920
actually creating that whole deal going on. And so if

2542
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:37,640
that proposition fails next week, I'm not saying for sure

2543
01:50:37,680 --> 01:50:41,399
it's done, but it could start leading to some treacherous

2544
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:45,880
times about the Spurs uply remaining in San Antonio. But

2545
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,399
I'd be curious to see if the league stepped in

2546
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:50,840
at that point and said no, no, no, we're going

2547
01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:52,840
to do everything we can to keep them here, or

2548
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:55,760
if they're gonna just let that run. Exports said, hey,

2549
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,720
if Peter All wants to go to Seattle, like, hey,

2550
01:50:59,000 --> 01:51:01,800
we got an arena, we'll go.

2551
01:51:02,119 --> 01:51:02,359
Speaker 7: Yeah.

2552
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:04,279
Speaker 11: So I think you know, they don't have to change

2553
01:51:04,279 --> 01:51:06,600
the colors if they go to Vegas, they stay right

2554
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:08,439
on part with the with the Raiders.

2555
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:13,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't think. I don't think Adam. Yeah, thank

2556
01:51:13,399 --> 01:51:14,800
you Brian for for bringing that up.

2557
01:51:15,039 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: First of all.

2558
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:21,640
Speaker 3: Wemby's first big week of basketball the Spurs. It's it's

2559
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:23,800
a fact. I mean, it's crazy to say out loud,

2560
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:27,199
but the individual performance of one player can swing an

2561
01:51:27,239 --> 01:51:31,640
election on a matter like this, like and how much

2562
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:34,880
easier is it to get stadium resolutions passed when teams

2563
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:38,159
are winning Super Bowls, are being successful and asking for

2564
01:51:38,319 --> 01:51:41,680
money and uh and more and more money publicly. There's

2565
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:43,880
a sort of course, certain ways to go about it,

2566
01:51:44,239 --> 01:51:47,039
but the bottom line is, generally your team is winning,

2567
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:50,920
it's a lot easier to get stuff passed that didn't happen.

2568
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:53,039
I think it was in Missouria measure or two for

2569
01:51:53,119 --> 01:51:55,760
the Chiefs didn't pass, but I think they eventually got

2570
01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:58,279
something done. Don't quote me on that, I think, but

2571
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,199
I don't think the NBA would be, you know, pull

2572
01:52:01,239 --> 01:52:03,720
out all the stops to keep basketball in San Antonio.

2573
01:52:04,239 --> 01:52:06,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sorry, Spurs. We know you love your Spurs,

2574
01:52:07,039 --> 01:52:09,399
but you think they wouldn't rather have that team in

2575
01:52:09,560 --> 01:52:13,119
Las Vegas or in Seattle because we know they're hungry

2576
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:15,720
if things didn't come to pass. I'm not saying they

2577
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:20,119
would force the force the Spurs out of San Antonio,

2578
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:24,640
kind of like how Baseball basically forced Baseball out of Oakland.

2579
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:27,760
They stripped down that team, they didn't improve the stadium,

2580
01:52:28,119 --> 01:52:33,319
they wanted to lose. They wanted to be quote unquote

2581
01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:37,600
forced out of Oakland and force the hands of the

2582
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:40,000
fans and have all these measures not pass and all

2583
01:52:40,279 --> 01:52:43,760
they're major League Baseball long term is way happier to

2584
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:45,439
be in Las Vegas than they are to be long

2585
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:46,199
term in Oakland.

2586
01:52:46,239 --> 01:52:48,359
Speaker 3: I mean that that's just how it's going. I don't

2587
01:52:48,359 --> 01:52:50,079
think that's gonna happen in San Antonio. We'll see what

2588
01:52:50,119 --> 01:52:52,399
happens with this measure that they're trying to get passed.

2589
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:55,680
But it helps when you got a guy like Victor

2590
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:59,279
Wimenyama who is an absolute alien and he's averaging This

2591
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:02,159
is what he's at averaging right now at this start

2592
01:53:02,199 --> 01:53:06,520
of the season, thirty one points, thirteen point eight rebounds,

2593
01:53:06,560 --> 01:53:09,279
and four point eight blocks per game, shooting thirty six

2594
01:53:09,319 --> 01:53:13,760
percent from three. Spurs have the best net rating in

2595
01:53:14,119 --> 01:53:16,960
basketball if you're not aware. With rating that's per per

2596
01:53:17,079 --> 01:53:22,199
one hundred possessions. Offense and defense basically added up best

2597
01:53:22,279 --> 01:53:25,079
in basketball right now, it's a very reliable metric to

2598
01:53:25,119 --> 01:53:26,880
tell you who the best teams in basketball are.

2599
01:53:27,039 --> 01:53:27,119
Speaker 5: Now.

2600
01:53:27,159 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 3: It's only four games the start of the season. Anything

2601
01:53:31,479 --> 01:53:35,159
could happen going forward, but right now the Spurs are

2602
01:53:35,239 --> 01:53:40,079
looking pretty good. And that's probably if the owners wanted

2603
01:53:40,159 --> 01:53:42,560
to keep the Spurs in San Antonio the way that

2604
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:45,000
they would like it to go. Seven one three two

01:55:11,760 --> 01:55:14,279
gonna join us at one o'clock. He's been on time

2631
01:55:14,319 --> 01:55:16,199
the last two times. Can he make it three in

2632
01:55:16,239 --> 01:55:18,079
a row? Will Adam Clanton be on time three times

2633
01:55:18,119 --> 01:55:20,279
in a row. What do you think, Juntathan, he's gonna

2634
01:55:20,319 --> 01:55:20,560
be early.

2635
01:55:20,600 --> 01:55:23,840
Speaker 5: I'm going under okay, early, Okay, obviously I want to

2636
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:25,880
say he's gonna be in the studio, okay, four minutes

2637
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:27,000
before wow, Okay.

2638
01:55:27,079 --> 01:55:28,800
Speaker 3: I think he was up earlier today. Well, he was

2639
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:32,119
posting the pictures up with him and with Mike Tyson.

2640
01:55:32,439 --> 01:55:33,920
I don't know if that was this morning or what.

2641
01:55:34,159 --> 01:55:36,640
So maybe he's up early outing about and he'll be

2642
01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:38,920
here coming up at one o'clock. In the meantime, it's

2643
01:55:39,199 --> 01:55:41,039
you guys and me and Jonathan.

2644
01:55:41,119 --> 01:55:42,840
Speaker 2: Y'all can get in. It's seven one three two one

2645
01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:45,840
two five seven ninety seven one three two one two

2646
01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:49,800
five seven ninety and Anthony in Deer Park has gotten in.

2647
01:55:49,880 --> 01:55:50,520
What's up, Anthony?

2648
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:53,039
Speaker 1: Hey? What's up? Ross? Hey?

2649
01:55:53,279 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 8: So I wanted to give you a gun feeling, and

2650
01:55:54,800 --> 01:55:57,479
then I have a question for you. My good feeling

2651
01:55:57,760 --> 01:56:01,239
is that when the Texans play the Bills on Thursday

2652
01:56:01,279 --> 01:56:03,399
Night Football, they will be six and four.

2653
01:56:04,199 --> 01:56:07,680
Speaker 1: I think they'll win the next three games. My oh man,

2654
01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:10,600
I hope you're right over there.

2655
01:56:10,640 --> 01:56:12,760
Speaker 8: If they get I think if they get past Denver,

2656
01:56:13,319 --> 01:56:17,319
then it's very doable because then you have Tennessee and Jacksonville,

2657
01:56:18,960 --> 01:56:22,479
and Jacksonville's at home Tennessee not really worried about them

2658
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:26,439
home War road. But my question for you is the

2659
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:30,000
uh the Texans. The line opened up plus one and

2660
01:56:30,039 --> 01:56:32,880
a half Texans. It since moved a minus one and

2661
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:33,600
a half Texans.

2662
01:56:33,720 --> 01:56:33,880
Speaker 7: Yes.

2663
01:56:34,359 --> 01:56:36,600
Speaker 8: Do you think do you think a guy like patser

2664
01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:39,640
Tan moves that three points or do you think it's

2665
01:56:39,680 --> 01:56:41,079
more so to do with money coming in?

2666
01:56:41,439 --> 01:56:41,560
Speaker 12: Uh?

2667
01:56:42,199 --> 01:56:42,560
Speaker 11: You know what?

2668
01:56:42,800 --> 01:56:45,520
Speaker 3: You You asked me that on Twitter, right, Anthony. I

2669
01:56:45,600 --> 01:56:47,920
meant to respond and I saw, but I forgot, So

2670
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:51,439
that's my bad. I normally try to respond to all

2671
01:56:51,479 --> 01:56:54,800
of you on social media, so I appreciate you. Uh, yeah,

2672
01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:56,840
I don't. I don't think a cornerback is moving the

2673
01:56:56,920 --> 01:56:57,560
line that much.

2674
01:56:58,079 --> 01:57:01,159
Speaker 2: Corner I mean, normally a quarterback can move the line

2675
01:57:01,279 --> 01:57:03,279
like that's a three point swing. That's pretty big for

2676
01:57:03,439 --> 01:57:07,680
just a corner back. But I'm gonna say my thinking

2677
01:57:07,840 --> 01:57:10,000
is that it is public money.

2678
01:57:10,279 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 1: Normally.

2679
01:57:10,760 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 3: This is in general, Anthony, and I'm just speaking in generalities.

2680
01:57:13,840 --> 01:57:15,079
I don't know if this is the case when it

2681
01:57:15,119 --> 01:57:18,119
comes to the Houston Texans and the Broncos Generally early

2682
01:57:18,239 --> 01:57:22,359
week line movement comes from the public flooding in aside,

2683
01:57:22,479 --> 01:57:24,199
So that makes me think that the public is kind

2684
01:57:24,239 --> 01:57:27,399
of flooding in on the Texans. Will that mean that

2685
01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:29,439
there will be a bounce back the other way, we

2686
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:35,039
don't know. But also Vegas didn't hold their line. For example,

2687
01:57:35,159 --> 01:57:39,319
last week it was the forty nine Ers were the favorite.

2688
01:57:39,399 --> 01:57:41,720
I'm sorry, we're the underdog, and a ton of money

2689
01:57:41,840 --> 01:57:44,239
was flooding in on the Niners. But Vegas held their line.

2690
01:57:44,239 --> 01:57:45,600
They're like, you know what, we got a good line,

2691
01:57:45,640 --> 01:57:47,680
and you saw that game on Sunday, it looked like

2692
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:49,239
they were on the right side of it. The Texans

2693
01:57:49,279 --> 01:57:51,760
dominated that game at least by yards, gain, first downs

2694
01:57:51,800 --> 01:57:55,000
and all that stuff. So they held their line. This

2695
01:57:55,560 --> 01:57:58,159
in this instance, Vegas is moving their line. They're like,

2696
01:57:58,159 --> 01:57:59,880
all right, maybe we did miss something here. We're gonna

2697
01:57:59,880 --> 01:58:02,680
go the Texan side. So it's a fluid situation. It

2698
01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:05,840
doesn't mean a whole lot of It doesn't mean anything

2699
01:58:05,920 --> 01:58:08,239
on Sunday. They don't play the games on paper, they

2700
01:58:08,279 --> 01:58:10,640
play them on grass. But it is interesting to me,

2701
01:58:11,079 --> 01:58:13,000
and if I just had to guess with the early

2702
01:58:13,199 --> 01:58:15,600
week movement, that just means there's been a flood of

2703
01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:19,960
money on the Texans, and some people saying and the

2704
01:58:20,239 --> 01:58:23,159
bookmaker saying, Okay, maybe we're taking so much action. Maybe

2705
01:58:23,159 --> 01:58:25,319
it's it's sharp and public money, and we'll move the

2706
01:58:25,399 --> 01:58:27,600
line a little bit. So yeah, three point line move

2707
01:58:27,680 --> 01:58:29,960
is significant, and maybe you know half or a point

2708
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:31,800
of that. It has to do with Patrick certain as well.

2709
01:58:33,720 --> 01:58:37,199
Speaker 8: Okay, and is there I'm sorry I haven't kept up

2710
01:58:37,279 --> 01:58:40,239
this week. Is there any word on Nico Collins playing

2711
01:58:40,279 --> 01:58:40,760
this weekend?

2712
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:44,720
Speaker 3: I have not heard that either as far as an

2713
01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:46,960
update on whether or not he should be played and

2714
01:58:47,039 --> 01:58:48,039
whether or not he should play.

2715
01:58:49,439 --> 01:58:51,239
Speaker 8: Okay, Rob, I appreciate it, all.

2716
01:58:51,119 --> 01:58:53,840
Speaker 2: Right, appreciate you, Thank you, Anthony, and thank you for

2717
01:58:53,920 --> 01:58:54,199
getting it.

2718
01:58:54,319 --> 01:58:58,880
Speaker 3: Seven to one three two one two five seven ninety

2719
01:58:59,039 --> 01:59:00,960
is the phone number seven one three two one two

2720
01:59:01,079 --> 01:59:03,079
five seven ninety. It looks like the latest is that

2721
01:59:03,159 --> 01:59:07,439
he is trending towards playing on Sunday, according to Aaron

2722
01:59:07,479 --> 01:59:10,439
Wilson KPRC two, of course, also a partner here at

2723
01:59:10,439 --> 01:59:13,640
Sports Talk seven ninety Damiko Ryan saying they're assessing his

2724
01:59:13,760 --> 01:59:18,000
progress throughout the week before deciding his status against the Broncos.

2725
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:20,399
Speaker 2: I mean, funny enough. That's one of the things we

2726
01:59:20,479 --> 01:59:22,279
were kind of saying to ourselves last week. It's like,

2727
01:59:23,119 --> 01:59:25,560
how are the how are the Texans favorite in this game?

2728
01:59:25,880 --> 01:59:29,199
With Nico Collins out, with Christian Kirk out, but he

2729
01:59:29,319 --> 01:59:30,960
had a lot of injuries. Of course, on the forty

2730
01:59:31,079 --> 01:59:33,560
nine er side, they did get banged up even during

2731
01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:35,520
the game, with a couple of guys going down, but

2732
01:59:36,119 --> 01:59:40,800
it was Xavier Hutchinson, Jalen Noel r Knowle and Jayden

2733
01:59:40,880 --> 01:59:41,880
Higgins Woody Marks.

2734
01:59:41,880 --> 01:59:44,119
Speaker 3: I mean, you're seeing Braxton Burrios out there. You're like, man,

2735
01:59:44,239 --> 01:59:45,600
Texans are down a couple of receivers.

2736
01:59:45,640 --> 01:59:46,199
Speaker 2: This is crazy.

2737
01:59:46,359 --> 01:59:47,920
Speaker 5: I have a question though, because yeah, you know, he

2738
01:59:48,039 --> 01:59:50,560
brought new Collins and it made me think of Joe Mixon.

2739
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:54,720
So since the Texans looked like they still have it

2740
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:57,119
together and they still can make get into the playoffs

2741
01:59:57,159 --> 01:59:59,600
either with the wild card, right, what do you do?

2742
01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:03,439
Speaker 1: You like, what do you do? Then when Mixing comes back?

2743
02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:05,840
Speaker 2: Like what, oh, Mixing is the number one, number one?

2744
02:00:05,920 --> 02:00:06,600
Speaker 1: So he was just come back.

2745
02:00:06,720 --> 02:00:08,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, he mu's come out. He's the big dog.

2746
02:00:08,520 --> 02:00:09,880
Speaker 3: You gotta load of meat now, And of course you

2747
02:00:09,960 --> 02:00:12,560
might Now I would say start of the season. It

2748
02:00:12,600 --> 02:00:15,000
would be like eighty percent Joe Mixon and twenty percent

2749
02:00:15,039 --> 02:00:17,800
everybody else. Maybe you make it like sixty seven for

2750
02:00:17,920 --> 02:00:20,399
two thirds Joe Mixon and one third everyone else. But

2751
02:00:20,520 --> 02:00:23,199
especially on first and second downs. He's got to be

2752
02:00:23,239 --> 02:00:25,479
your guy. He's your best guy, and he's gonna have

2753
02:00:25,560 --> 02:00:27,199
fresh legs if he's playing.

2754
02:00:27,239 --> 02:00:30,119
Speaker 2: I imagine he's gonna be ready to go. And you

2755
02:00:30,239 --> 02:00:31,159
see what you got there.

2756
02:00:31,399 --> 02:00:33,479
Speaker 3: Woody Marx has been fine, but it's not like Woody

2757
02:00:33,520 --> 02:00:36,079
Marx has been some kind of revelation. Nick Chubb has

2758
02:00:36,119 --> 02:00:38,640
been okay, but it's not like he has just been

2759
02:00:39,119 --> 02:00:41,079
you know, He's shown flashes here and there, but hasn't

2760
02:00:41,079 --> 02:00:43,800
been consistent. Joe Mixon definitely becomes your number one guy.

2761
02:00:44,119 --> 02:00:47,359
I think when he comes back, if if that's gonna happen,

2762
02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:49,760
I mean, we still have got no timetable on it.

2763
02:00:50,279 --> 02:00:53,640
We still don't know at what point he's gonna be back,

2764
02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:56,239
if at all. Apparently he was at the game against

2765
02:00:56,279 --> 02:01:01,159
the forty nine ers on Sunday, but that's that. There's

2766
02:01:01,199 --> 02:01:03,600
been the rumors of what it was at a botch surgery?

2767
02:01:03,800 --> 02:01:03,960
Speaker 2: Was it?

2768
02:01:04,079 --> 02:01:04,119
Speaker 11: This?

2769
02:01:04,560 --> 02:01:04,680
Speaker 9: Was it?

2770
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:05,039
Speaker 7: Dad?

2771
02:01:05,159 --> 02:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Who knows?

2772
02:01:06,319 --> 02:01:09,199
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. Because even now since July,

2773
02:01:09,399 --> 02:01:12,800
since its yeah, basically, I mean we're into we're getting

2774
02:01:12,840 --> 02:01:14,079
into November here we.

2775
02:01:14,199 --> 02:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Talk about fromber and but makes it at the same time,

2776
02:01:16,760 --> 02:01:17,439
and that's just nice.

2777
02:01:17,520 --> 02:01:19,399
Speaker 2: And the weirdest thing is they're just shrouding this whole

2778
02:01:19,439 --> 02:01:20,039
thing in mystery.

2779
02:01:20,079 --> 02:01:22,960
Speaker 3: I mean, is it that embarrassing of a story like,

2780
02:01:23,199 --> 02:01:25,960
I don't know, he was at a he was at

2781
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:28,520
a in Saint Lucia at Airbnb and he slipped and

2782
02:01:28,600 --> 02:01:31,560
fell and then the hot tub or something like what happened.

2783
02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:34,680
And then he lets some guy in a van do

2784
02:01:34,760 --> 02:01:36,520
the surgery on his foot and he got botched, like,

2785
02:01:36,720 --> 02:01:38,359
I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's

2786
02:01:38,399 --> 02:01:41,600
going on. It's weird. It's a weird story. You don't

2787
02:01:41,760 --> 02:01:44,199
normally have something like this where there was an off

2788
02:01:44,239 --> 02:01:45,960
seat you would just say, hey, hey, guy, he was

2789
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:49,880
doing offseason workouts with whoever and he got hurt and

2790
02:01:50,039 --> 02:01:51,079
he's probably gonna miss a year.

2791
02:01:51,079 --> 02:01:51,880
Speaker 2: He got a lead.

2792
02:01:51,960 --> 02:01:53,399
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying to think of foot injuries that

2793
02:01:53,479 --> 02:01:58,000
keep you out for the year. Ankle surgery, no, ankle, achilles, yes,

2794
02:01:58,399 --> 02:02:02,039
Lee frank injury, yes, I mean something like that. Those

2795
02:02:02,079 --> 02:02:03,600
the only two I can think of, yeah, exactly the

2796
02:02:03,680 --> 02:02:05,520
same thing, Like it had to be one of those

2797
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:09,359
and if it's Achilles, that's what I'm saying. Running running

2798
02:02:09,359 --> 02:02:13,479
backs don't come back long long And you've had Cam

2799
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:16,159
Akers show flashes after an Achilles. You've had guys like

2800
02:02:16,199 --> 02:02:20,000
Deontay Foreman and others show some flashes JK. Dobbins after

2801
02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:24,840
after Achilles injuries. But for the most part, you're you're

2802
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:29,439
you're not the same long term after an Achilles injury

2803
02:02:29,560 --> 02:02:32,920
for running backs specific Like even camp Scataboo, this injury

2804
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:34,920
right now, I bet who I bet that was he

2805
02:02:35,560 --> 02:02:38,640
discilcated ankle. But you can come back from that, you can,

2806
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:41,239
But doesn't dislocated ankle mean like every like all your

2807
02:02:41,279 --> 02:02:42,239
ligaments are ripped up.

2808
02:02:42,159 --> 02:02:42,720
Speaker 2: In the ankles.

2809
02:02:43,479 --> 02:02:46,920
Speaker 3: So honestly, all right, yeah, and he was already I mean, look,

2810
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:48,560
he was scoring a lot of touchdowns and he's fun

2811
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:51,199
to watch. He's he's I mean, he's a friggin battering

2812
02:02:51,279 --> 02:02:54,119
ram who was the guy was calling Matt Thomas juggernaut.

2813
02:02:54,159 --> 02:02:54,720
Speaker 1: That was rude.

2814
02:02:55,079 --> 02:02:58,279
Speaker 3: But Cam Scataboo is like Juggernaut, Like he's busting through

2815
02:02:58,359 --> 02:03:00,840
doors if you let him get ahead of steam He's

2816
02:03:00,920 --> 02:03:03,359
not very quick, not the fastest, but he's tough to

2817
02:03:03,399 --> 02:03:07,319
take down. So I'll be interesting to see what with

2818
02:03:07,479 --> 02:03:10,239
Camp's cateboo is and these these injuries and these running backs.

2819
02:03:10,279 --> 02:03:11,960
Speaker 2: Man, it's it's it's crazy.

2820
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 3: It's tough, all right, quick break here on the Matt

2821
02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:18,079
Thomas Show with Ross. Without Matt Thomas, he is out

2822
02:03:18,159 --> 02:03:21,079
traveling with the Rockets. Uh, I will have Adam Clinton

2823
02:03:21,159 --> 02:03:23,199
joining and hanging out at one o'clock. We want to

2824
02:03:23,239 --> 02:03:26,439
talk about first topic of business with Adam Clinton. Victor

2825
02:03:26,439 --> 02:03:29,159
womben Yama's hot start to the NBA season. Okay, maybe not,

2826
02:03:29,640 --> 02:03:31,920
but well, I mean he hates the Dodgers like I do.

2827
02:03:32,560 --> 02:03:34,680
Watching show Heo Tani and Victor womben Yama for this

2828
02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:38,720
Purson the and the Dodgers. Ugh, it's disgusting, but we

2829
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:41,720
have to watch it. But the Rockets have won a game.

2830
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:44,399
The Texans are in action this weekend against the Broncos.

2831
02:03:44,439 --> 02:03:45,920

02:04:09,079 --> 02:04:10,800
remember what show I'm on, Johnathan, don't shake your head.

2837
02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:12,359
I used to do the I used to do the

2838
02:04:12,479 --> 02:04:17,000
Nightcap Sports RV show, Rockets Rap Astros tenth inning and

2839
02:04:17,239 --> 02:04:17,680
this show.

2840
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:23,319
Speaker 2: So I was those are my busier times. Now it's

2841
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:25,960
just this end well, Rockets wraps and of course Astros

2842
02:04:26,039 --> 02:04:29,600
on Deck Slash ten innings as well. Appreciate all you

2843
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:32,439
calling last night with the Rockets win over the Brooklyn

2844
02:04:32,800 --> 02:04:38,079
Nets one thirty seven to one oh nine. Mentioned okay,

2845
02:04:38,279 --> 02:04:40,720
it was almost okay, it did feel like a preseason game.

2846
02:04:41,399 --> 02:04:43,159
They got them by a little bit, a little bit,

2847
02:04:43,239 --> 02:04:45,039
but it's the Brooklands. But hey, it was nice.

2848
02:04:45,119 --> 02:04:48,560
Speaker 3: It's a soft landing spot for them, especially after two

2849
02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:51,359
tough games to start the season. I mean, on the

2850
02:04:51,439 --> 02:04:54,560
road going to double overtime against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

2851
02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:59,560
Speaker 2: That was not fun losing that game. Then you had

2852
02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:02,239
the I mean, it was just.

2853
02:05:03,920 --> 02:05:05,680
Speaker 3: It felt like, as you say, one of those games,

2854
02:05:06,039 --> 02:05:09,199
they were missing bunnies, they were missing putbacks, they were

2855
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:12,359
missing shots they would normally make. It wasn't a whole

2856
02:05:12,399 --> 02:05:15,960
lot of bad shots. Selection then you had Cad Cunningham

2857
02:05:16,039 --> 02:05:18,319
playing very well on the other side, he had almost

2858
02:05:18,399 --> 02:05:22,359
a triple double, and I would say one of those games.

2859
02:05:22,680 --> 02:05:25,199
But when you pile that up, you pair it together

2860
02:05:25,800 --> 02:05:27,520
with that first game, and you're zero to two and

2861
02:05:27,600 --> 02:05:28,359
you haven't won a game.

2862
02:05:28,439 --> 02:05:31,479
Speaker 2: Didn't feel great. So you get the easy mark in

2863
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:34,560
the Brooklyn Nets last night, and even then, I mean

2864
02:05:34,600 --> 02:05:36,319
they were sixteen and a half point favorites. Still in

2865
02:05:36,359 --> 02:05:37,119
the back of my mind, I.

2866
02:05:37,159 --> 02:05:39,279
Speaker 1: Was like, Eh, Michael Porter Junior's pretty good.

2867
02:05:39,600 --> 02:05:42,039
Speaker 3: Terrace man Cam Thomas, like they can put some points

2868
02:05:42,079 --> 02:05:44,640
on the board the Brooklyn Nets. Their defense is terrible,

2869
02:05:45,039 --> 02:05:47,560
as evidenced by the Rockets getting one hundred and thirty

2870
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:50,319
seven points in that game. But it was nice a

2871
02:05:50,399 --> 02:05:53,720
couple on a couple of fronts. Tarry Easton bouncing back

2872
02:05:53,880 --> 02:05:56,039
eight of twelve from the field twenty two points. He

2873
02:05:56,159 --> 02:05:59,760
also had five rebounds, five assists. Wasn't the Angel Reachs

2874
02:05:59,760 --> 02:06:02,279
shoe sho I don't know she was. He was wearing

2875
02:06:02,319 --> 02:06:05,720
the pink mee bounds Reebok. I didn't even I'm gonna

2876
02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:07,640
be honest with you, did you, Jonathan, Did you know

2877
02:06:07,720 --> 02:06:08,960
Reebok is still making shoes?

2878
02:06:09,680 --> 02:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2879
02:06:09,920 --> 02:06:11,920
Speaker 5: I thought they got bought out by somebody, And I

2880
02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:13,960
didn't know, it's not really big, and they have actually

2881
02:06:14,000 --> 02:06:14,920
pretty good shoes as well.

2882
02:06:15,039 --> 02:06:17,840
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you know what, I'm shout out to Reebok.

2883
02:06:18,520 --> 02:06:23,520
They had they have the Angel Reese ones. And I remember,

2884
02:06:23,560 --> 02:06:25,399
didn't they have a big deal with Shaquille O'Neal or

2885
02:06:25,399 --> 02:06:28,159
something like that back in the day, and he he

2886
02:06:28,319 --> 02:06:30,319
had those like earthquake looking what. Yeah, I know that's

2887
02:06:30,359 --> 02:06:31,600
before your time, don't worry about it.

2888
02:06:32,039 --> 02:06:32,600
Speaker 1: Uh yeah.

2889
02:06:32,720 --> 02:06:35,880
Speaker 3: So so Reebok apparently is still making shoes and whatever

2890
02:06:35,920 --> 02:06:38,199
shoes Tarry Easton was wearing, which it was the Angel

2891
02:06:38,239 --> 02:06:40,680
Reese ones. He's got to keep those on cause he

2892
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:44,560
was awesome and and reports of his demise.

2893
02:06:44,479 --> 02:06:46,680
Speaker 1: Oh he should have taken that deal. Oh he bet

2894
02:06:46,760 --> 02:06:47,840
on himself. He's losing.

2895
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:50,079
Speaker 3: Well, he bet on himself and he was winning last night.

2896
02:06:50,079 --> 02:06:52,000
And of course again we do. It's almost like you

2897
02:06:52,119 --> 02:06:53,960
have to qualify it every time you say it.

2898
02:06:54,239 --> 02:06:56,119
Speaker 1: It was an Nets. It was the Nets.

2899
02:06:56,680 --> 02:06:58,760
Speaker 3: But five to seven from three, the three point line

2900
02:06:58,800 --> 02:07:00,520
is the same no matter who you're playing in the

2901
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:02,560
NBA just might be a little bit more open here

2902
02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:04,880
and there. But that was nice to see from Tar Easton.

2903
02:07:05,199 --> 02:07:10,199
And it's been an interesting three games for Reed Shepherd.

2904
02:07:11,079 --> 02:07:14,359
First game against the Oklahoma City Thunder three of eleven,

2905
02:07:14,760 --> 02:07:16,880
but he was aggressive. He was putting up a lot

2906
02:07:16,960 --> 02:07:19,880
of shots against a very tough defense. They weren't falling

2907
02:07:20,439 --> 02:07:23,439
three of eleven in the second game, also not what

2908
02:07:23,520 --> 02:07:25,199
you wanted to see. The three point shot has been

2909
02:07:25,239 --> 02:07:29,359
there so far on the season, he is eight of eighteen.

2910
02:07:30,119 --> 02:07:32,920
That's good for forty five and a half percent. Now,

2911
02:07:33,039 --> 02:07:34,680
of course, well I don't expect him.

2912
02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:36,279
Speaker 1: To shoot forty five and a half percent from three.

2913
02:07:36,199 --> 02:07:37,840
Speaker 2: But if he wants to, that's okay. He's gonna be

2914
02:07:37,840 --> 02:07:40,239
among the leaders in the entire NBA. I just don't

2915
02:07:40,239 --> 02:07:43,680
think that's probably gonna hold up based on the history

2916
02:07:43,720 --> 02:07:46,600
of what we have of him. But that'd be nice.

2917
02:07:47,039 --> 02:07:49,720
Speaker 3: Three point shot looks, good, looks, smooth, find some open looks.

2918
02:07:50,520 --> 02:07:52,680
You're not gonna ask Reed Shepherd to set the world

2919
02:07:52,760 --> 02:07:55,079
on fire. If he can go out there, give you

2920
02:07:55,199 --> 02:07:57,880
twenty five to thirty minutes, get to the basket a

2921
02:07:57,920 --> 02:08:00,920
couple of times, knock down a couple of three, and

2922
02:08:01,119 --> 02:08:04,239
last night he had eight assists and only two turnovers.

2923
02:08:04,920 --> 02:08:08,239
That that's what you'll take from Reed Shepherd. So a

2924
02:08:08,279 --> 02:08:10,880
step in the right direction for a young player who

2925
02:08:11,279 --> 02:08:13,079
who the Rockets put a lot of stock in and

2926
02:08:13,159 --> 02:08:15,960
they need him quite frankly with Fred van Vliet, I mean,

2927
02:08:16,199 --> 02:08:18,720
on the postgame show on Friday against Detroit, we were

2928
02:08:18,760 --> 02:08:21,159
taking some calls. I think these were the words used

2929
02:08:21,199 --> 02:08:27,600
to describe the Rockets offense. Clunky, disjointed, sloppy. Those were

2930
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:30,159
the words used by callers and myself like it just

2931
02:08:30,760 --> 02:08:34,239
it's not not a fluid operation with when you don't

2932
02:08:34,279 --> 02:08:37,720
have your your your floor general and Fred van Vliet

2933
02:08:37,720 --> 02:08:40,199
and he ain't gonna come back at least until maybe

2934
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:43,680
you're probably talking like the NBA literally NBA Finals or

2935
02:08:43,720 --> 02:08:46,399
something like that, that would be eight months from now,

2936
02:08:47,359 --> 02:08:49,840
and generally at least it's like an eight to nine

2937
02:08:49,880 --> 02:08:50,680
month recovery.

2938
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:53,960
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to figure something out. You're gonna

2939
02:08:53,960 --> 02:08:55,840
have to dance with the guys who brung you.

2940
02:08:56,239 --> 02:08:56,479
Speaker 1: I mean.

2941
02:08:56,560 --> 02:08:59,760
Speaker 3: Thompson also had eight assists and no turnovers. That was

2942
02:08:59,760 --> 02:09:04,680
great to see last night as well. Seven seven ninety

2943
02:09:04,800 --> 02:09:06,600
is the phone number Richard in League City. Want to

2944
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:07,479
talk some Rockets ball?

2945
02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:09,600
Speaker 1: What's up? Richard? Hey?

2946
02:09:09,720 --> 02:09:12,640
Speaker 13: Ross h do you know what the definition? Do you

2947
02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:14,960
know what a slump buster is yes, I do.

2948
02:09:15,039 --> 02:09:19,279
Speaker 3: Know what a slump buster is. So do you want

2949
02:09:19,319 --> 02:09:21,000
to explain it to the folks or do you want

2950
02:09:21,000 --> 02:09:21,520
to explain it?

2951
02:09:22,840 --> 02:09:25,520
Speaker 13: All right, Well it's I've been married for twenty years

2952
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:28,439
this one that.

2953
02:09:30,159 --> 02:09:30,520
Speaker 11: There you go.

2954
02:09:30,800 --> 02:09:33,720
Speaker 7: So the Brooklyn that slump buster for the Rockets. Yes.

2955
02:09:34,159 --> 02:09:38,560
Speaker 13: Something that I saw last night about the offense that

2956
02:09:38,680 --> 02:09:43,960
are really like and especially Tarry Easton, is like you

2957
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:46,359
were talking about the offense being plunky. I mean, we

2958
02:09:46,439 --> 02:09:48,079
know we've got all the players we need. We know

2959
02:09:48,199 --> 02:09:52,720
we have a championship caliber talent level on the team

2960
02:09:52,880 --> 02:09:54,560
and we saw a lot of it in the preseason,

2961
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:57,520
but it hasn't found its flow. And what I saw

2962
02:09:57,640 --> 02:10:00,920
last night, and I think Tari was the expression of

2963
02:10:01,039 --> 02:10:04,000
it was it. It felt like, I mean Tari was

2964
02:10:04,159 --> 02:10:07,279
played more with him himself than I've ever seen him play.

2965
02:10:07,880 --> 02:10:09,560
It was almost like the guy. What I love about

2966
02:10:09,560 --> 02:10:11,800
the guy is he can play at eleven, you know,

2967
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:14,880
in the spinal tep sense, and he almost always does.

2968
02:10:14,960 --> 02:10:17,439
It's like he finds his maximum and then he goes faster.

2969
02:10:18,119 --> 02:10:20,359
The last night it felt like he was he was

2970
02:10:20,439 --> 02:10:24,239
hovering in the seven to eight like there was energy,

2971
02:10:24,399 --> 02:10:28,439
but it wasn't out of control and I just felt

2972
02:10:28,439 --> 02:10:30,600
like that was one with the whole team. And I

2973
02:10:30,680 --> 02:10:34,920
got to give kudos to Meyudoka for putting Akobe in

2974
02:10:35,159 --> 02:10:40,279
the starting lineup because he really seemed to be an

2975
02:10:40,319 --> 02:10:44,600
important piece to helping the other pieces play together a

2976
02:10:44,680 --> 02:10:45,640
little more fluidly.

2977
02:10:46,800 --> 02:10:48,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good to see Gil a little more

2978
02:10:48,359 --> 02:10:50,279
ball handling. Thank you, Richard, I appreciate you getting in

2979
02:10:50,479 --> 02:10:54,159
and also h coach saying before the game he wanted

2980
02:10:54,199 --> 02:10:55,840
to take some of the defensive load as far as

2981
02:10:55,920 --> 02:11:00,439
perimeter defending off of Aman Thompson, and I mentioned the

2982
02:11:00,479 --> 02:11:03,079
guys that you have, I mean all perimeter scorers, Terrence Man,

2983
02:11:03,199 --> 02:11:05,640
Cam Thomas, and Michael Porter Junior at that Brooklyn Nets.

2984
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:08,039
It's gonna be a matchup thing. He's not gonna play

2985
02:11:08,039 --> 02:11:09,600
the same starting lineup every night. You're gonna have to

2986
02:11:09,640 --> 02:11:11,279
mix and match. You're gonna have to figure some things

2987
02:11:11,319 --> 02:11:15,239
out and just kind of as you go along, because

2988
02:11:15,319 --> 02:11:18,399
they put a lot of stock, a lot of eggs

2989
02:11:18,399 --> 02:11:20,840
were in the Fred van Vliet basket as your floor

2990
02:11:20,920 --> 02:11:23,039
general and somebody who can defend guards. And I not

2991
02:11:23,119 --> 02:11:25,159
that he's a lockdown perimeter guy or anything like that,

2992
02:11:25,399 --> 02:11:30,439
but generally pretty solid and unless he's against like the

2993
02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:34,680
best perimeter scores in the league, which Fred van Vliet

2994
02:11:34,720 --> 02:11:37,199
can struggle against due to lack of size. But he's

2995
02:11:37,199 --> 02:11:39,479
gonna get steals. He's gonna be smart positionally, he's gonna

2996
02:11:39,479 --> 02:11:41,960
play passing lanes. He's gonna help you out defensively, and

2997
02:11:42,079 --> 02:11:44,920
you're missing some of that when he's not on the floor.

2998
02:11:45,439 --> 02:11:46,800
Speaker 2: So that was good to see.

2999
02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:49,439
Speaker 3: Yes, a mix up of the starting lineup going with

3000
02:11:49,600 --> 02:11:52,600
josh Okogi there. We'll see what happens if and when

3001
02:11:52,680 --> 02:11:55,399
Dori and Finney Smith gets ready to come back in

3002
02:11:55,439 --> 02:11:57,840
the lineup for the Rockets, and it's just going to

3003
02:11:57,880 --> 02:12:00,119
be the guys kind of figuring each other out. I

3004
02:12:00,199 --> 02:12:03,479
saw a lot of Kevin Durant as initiating of offense

3005
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:06,039
with al Prin Shangoon as the screener. I think that

3006
02:12:06,720 --> 02:12:09,000
is something that they can build chemistry on and bear

3007
02:12:09,039 --> 02:12:10,640
a lot of fruit because a lot of times the

3008
02:12:10,720 --> 02:12:14,079
Rockets are being trapped because they don't have elite ball handling.

3009
02:12:14,199 --> 02:12:18,199
Ben Thompson good ball handler, not elite. Kevin Durant, Alp

3010
02:12:18,199 --> 02:12:20,800
Prinching Goon good ball handlers, but not elite. Those guys

3011
02:12:20,840 --> 02:12:22,960
can be prone to turnovers here and there, so they

3012
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:25,920
are getting trapped a lot. They are getting blitzed on

3013
02:12:26,319 --> 02:12:29,600
these pick and rolls, and it's been kind of effective

3014
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:32,000
against him. That's something they're gonna have to figure out.

3015
02:12:32,560 --> 02:12:34,520
And he made Doka was talking about that, I think

3016
02:12:34,520 --> 02:12:36,119
in the postgame the last couple of games, and maybe

3017
02:12:36,119 --> 02:12:39,279
even pregame yesterday, like, yeah, guys are gonna get up

3018
02:12:39,479 --> 02:12:42,920
on Kevin Durant and others and they're gonna dare them

3019
02:12:43,039 --> 02:12:46,079
to blow by them with the dribbling, because you have

3020
02:12:46,159 --> 02:12:48,760
these guys who sometimes you know, dribbling the ball at

3021
02:12:48,760 --> 02:12:51,439
their feet losing the handle. How often can you recall

3022
02:12:51,520 --> 02:12:54,079
seeing like alprin Shangoon going for a dribble and he

3023
02:12:54,159 --> 02:12:55,840
just dribbles it off his foot or he loses it

3024
02:12:55,960 --> 02:12:57,720
on a spin move or something like that. A lot

3025
02:12:57,760 --> 02:12:59,239
of times he can pull it off, and he's very

3026
02:12:59,279 --> 02:13:03,640
skilled for a six foot eleven guy. But turned the

3027
02:13:03,680 --> 02:13:05,880
ball over three times last night. It feels like three

3028
02:13:05,920 --> 02:13:09,479
to four turnovers. It can be about the norm for

3029
02:13:09,640 --> 02:13:12,840
he or Kevin duran or r Men Thompson as well,

3030
02:13:12,880 --> 02:13:14,920
and that's something they are gonna have to get better

3031
02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:18,800
at and improve upon. I have full confidence they can

3032
02:13:18,880 --> 02:13:21,359
do it. They've got a great coaching staff and most importantly,

3033
02:13:21,439 --> 02:13:24,760
great players. They're gonna figure this thing out. It's just

3034
02:13:24,880 --> 02:13:28,640
got to get a little bit more consistent. And it's

3035
02:13:28,720 --> 02:13:31,319
helpful to have the first couple of tough games and

3036
02:13:31,439 --> 02:13:35,079
then a knife soft landing spot at home against the

3037
02:13:35,119 --> 02:13:38,920
Brooklyn Nets, who are just playing ola defense all night.

3038
02:13:39,520 --> 02:13:41,920
So good to help yourself get in rhythm with a

3039
02:13:41,960 --> 02:13:44,960
game like you got last night. Next in action tomorrow

3040
02:13:45,079 --> 02:13:47,880
against the Toronto Raptors. That'll be a five to thirty

3041
02:13:48,079 --> 02:13:51,560
start on Sports Talk seven ninety. You'll have Adam and

3042
02:13:51,800 --> 02:13:53,960
one of the Adams for the pregame there. I'll be

3043
02:13:54,039 --> 02:13:56,039
with you for the Rockets trap call in show tomorrow,

3044
02:13:56,119 --> 02:13:59,560
five thirty tip off. Rockets taking on the Toronto Raptors.

where they went. If show's been flying by. I appreciate y'all, folks.

3047
02:14:04,960 --> 02:14:06,439

3048
02:14:06,520 --> 02:14:09,000
calling in and interacting. Can't do it without you, so

3049
02:14:09,119 --> 02:14:11,720
appreciate y'all. Adam Clant is coming up in the fourth hour.

3050

Show with Ross.

3055
02:14:29,520 --> 02:14:32,119
Speaker 1: Oh my god, folks, three times in a row.

3056
02:14:33,920 --> 02:14:35,000
Speaker 2: Who is this man?

3057
02:14:36,199 --> 02:14:39,960
Speaker 1: Adam Clanton here on time? It's a technicality, you know, Yeah,

3058
02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:42,359
that's true. I got you guys broke late. Look at

3059
02:14:42,439 --> 02:14:45,560
us starting the show at one oh three thirty. Where's

3060
02:14:45,600 --> 02:14:49,119
Gordy to reprimand you? I don't know, but it's funny.

3061
02:14:49,119 --> 02:14:50,800
The part is he's the worst offender when he's on here.

3062
02:14:50,840 --> 02:14:56,079
But anyways, sh hey, leave Malone. He's gone through it.

3063
02:14:56,159 --> 02:14:58,520
His uh his LSU Tigers had to fire another head

3064
02:14:58,560 --> 02:14:59,600
coach that didn't get it done.

3065
02:14:59,640 --> 02:15:01,239
Speaker 2: Hey, you never hear me say a bad word, at

3066
02:15:01,279 --> 02:15:03,560
least publicly about Gordy. I mean, he did the morning show.

3067
02:15:03,720 --> 02:15:05,439
He hung out with me for an hour. He's doing

3068
02:15:05,520 --> 02:15:06,319
locked on SEC.

3069
02:15:06,520 --> 02:15:09,279
Speaker 3: He's a PD about six sports stations in Texas now

3070
02:15:09,319 --> 02:15:09,920
at this point.

3071
02:15:10,159 --> 02:15:12,399
Speaker 1: He rescued me from the depths of unemployment.

3072
02:15:12,720 --> 02:15:14,319
Speaker 2: He's very busy. He's very busy.

3073
02:15:14,399 --> 02:15:16,359
Speaker 3: So appreciate Chris Cordy hanging out earlier in the show.

3074
02:15:16,359 --> 02:15:18,079
Adam Clinton, appreciate you hanging out now.

3075
02:15:18,319 --> 02:15:20,079
Speaker 1: I was telling you about this before he got in

3076
02:15:20,159 --> 02:15:22,880
the air. I'm a little tired today. Yeah, you look

3077
02:15:22,960 --> 02:15:24,439
like hell I do. I feel like it.

3078
02:15:24,680 --> 02:15:27,640
Speaker 2: That's a classic Matt Thomas line. Uh yeah, no, you

3079
02:15:27,720 --> 02:15:28,119
look fine.

3080
02:15:28,760 --> 02:15:31,840
Speaker 1: It's fine. You're doing all right. Once the bright lights

3081
02:15:31,880 --> 02:15:34,439
come on in here, it's gonna suck. No, I hate

3082
02:15:34,479 --> 02:15:37,039
those bright lights. Are they blinded me? Dude? I can't

3083
02:15:37,119 --> 02:15:38,800
do it. It gives me a headache. Tried doing it

3084
02:15:38,880 --> 02:15:41,079
for four hours? No, thank you, no, thank you. Well,

3085
02:15:41,119 --> 02:15:43,800
so the show is only three hours on TV. Yes,

3086

02:15:46,079 --> 02:15:46,279
them on.

3088
02:15:46,720 --> 02:15:48,039

Speaker 1: Yeah. But then other days I'll turn them on. He'll

3090
02:15:50,279 --> 02:15:52,039
be like, why are you doing that? I'm earning them off.

3091
02:15:52,199 --> 02:15:52,720
Turn them off.

3092

3105
02:16:27,119 --> 02:16:28,680
I was talking about this earlier in the show. I

3106
02:16:28,680 --> 02:16:30,039
don't know how much you caught of it, if any,

3107
02:16:31,760 --> 02:16:33,760
And uh, I know we have our fun with the

3108
02:16:33,840 --> 02:16:37,440
Victor Wimbinyama stuff too, But the dude is a freaking alien.

3109
02:16:37,799 --> 02:16:40,399
And this applies to show hal Tawani as well, Like

3110
02:16:40,920 --> 02:16:43,200
we are witnessing kind of stuff that we have never

3111
02:16:43,760 --> 02:16:48,280
seen before in sports, and unfortunately for us here in Houston,

3112
02:16:49,120 --> 02:16:54,399
it's wombin Yama wearing spurs silver and black and show

3113
02:16:54,920 --> 02:17:00,120
a human being got on base nine times in a

3114
02:17:00,319 --> 02:17:04,520
World Series game, tying the all time Major League record

3115
02:17:05,239 --> 02:17:06,760
double homer double?

3116
02:17:06,840 --> 02:17:07,600
Speaker 1: What was the guy's name?

3117
02:17:07,639 --> 02:17:07,840
Speaker 7: Again?

3118
02:17:08,360 --> 02:17:11,719
Speaker 1: For which guy from nineteen? I can't remember?

3119
02:17:11,840 --> 02:17:13,879
Speaker 2: It was Hank Stram or Whatno.

3120
02:17:13,920 --> 02:17:15,680
Speaker 1: How come you guys don't do the thing you used

3121
02:17:15,719 --> 02:17:17,920
to do all the time with what we what's his name?

3122
02:17:18,840 --> 02:17:20,879
The old guy who had this record that is now

3123
02:17:20,959 --> 02:17:22,879
tied with show? Hey, what was his name? Oh?

3124
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:25,079
Speaker 3: You mean go into the Civil war thing. Yes, I

3125
02:17:25,159 --> 02:17:27,639
mean we did that for years. Sometimes the bits go

3126
02:17:27,760 --> 02:17:28,879
up and down bring it back.

3127
02:17:29,000 --> 02:17:29,280
Speaker 5: I know.

3128
02:17:29,440 --> 02:17:31,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes you feel like you gotta you do a bit

3129
02:17:31,959 --> 02:17:34,879
for like ten years you've running into the ground. Well,

3130
02:17:35,319 --> 02:17:37,959
the best and no, no offense to Jonathan. The best

3131
02:17:38,079 --> 02:17:40,559
was when Trey was producing and he would they always

3132
02:17:40,639 --> 02:17:43,719
die but you know the people that were talking about

3133
02:17:43,840 --> 02:17:49,040
these imaginary civil war fixtures, But with him it was

3134
02:17:49,079 --> 02:17:51,440
like it was always untimely violent.

3135
02:17:51,559 --> 02:17:53,360
Speaker 2: No, no, would always be shot in the face.

3136
02:17:53,440 --> 02:17:55,959
Speaker 1: That was his bit. And then he got shot in

3137
02:17:56,040 --> 02:17:58,559
the face. I can't do my tray impression on the

3138
02:17:58,719 --> 02:18:01,600
fired Why. I don't know. I just feel like I will.

3139
02:18:02,360 --> 02:18:06,559
I'm not letting you get in. You're a troublemaker now, Baton,

3140
02:18:06,920 --> 02:18:09,120
It's not true. I don't want that Baton ever since

3141
02:18:09,159 --> 02:18:11,079
I self neutered on social media.

3142
02:18:10,920 --> 02:18:15,079
Speaker 2: With Stan Hack, Max Care, Stan Hack, and Johnny Bennett.

3143
02:18:15,719 --> 02:18:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, like, what is it like for I? I

3144
02:18:18,040 --> 02:18:20,399
know you, because I mean we know you, Adam Clinton.

3145
02:18:20,719 --> 02:18:23,239
You hate the Dodgers, I hate everything. You hate the Spurs, you.

3146
02:18:23,280 --> 02:18:26,280
Speaker 2: Hate everything, you hate mayonnaise, you hate Tara Cream, and

3147
02:18:27,559 --> 02:18:29,799
you hate Victor Wimenyama. Do you, well, how do you feel?

3148
02:18:29,959 --> 02:18:30,479
Speaker 7: What is it like?

3149
02:18:30,520 --> 02:18:34,200
Speaker 2: Because even for me, like I'm rooting for the Blue Jays,

3150
02:18:34,760 --> 02:18:37,719
I want the go go Americas all the way, George

3151
02:18:37,760 --> 02:18:38,840
Springs North America.

3152
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:41,719
Speaker 3: Let's go Blue Jays. The Dodgers are the evil Empire.

3153
02:18:42,360 --> 02:18:45,200
But I mean, it's weird, my god. But one of

3154
02:18:45,239 --> 02:18:47,159
the reasons I love sports. One of the reasons that

3155
02:18:47,200 --> 02:18:49,479
I love sports in general, this is anything and people like,

3156
02:18:49,680 --> 02:18:52,280
I'll watch Olympics, I'll watch whatever, And people are like, well,

3157
02:18:52,280 --> 02:18:52,959
you don't watch cricket.

3158
02:18:52,959 --> 02:18:54,479
Speaker 2: Why I don't know the rules of cricket. I'll try

3159
02:18:54,559 --> 02:18:54,959
to watch it.

3160
02:18:55,399 --> 02:18:57,799
Speaker 3: I think this far as like hand eye coordination, like

3161
02:18:58,120 --> 02:19:01,879
the craziest stuff that humans are cap generally happens within

3162
02:19:02,120 --> 02:19:07,600
sports athletically. And I always appreciate greatness and stuff we've

3163
02:19:07,680 --> 02:19:11,239
never seen before. We've never seen anything like shoey Otani before. Well,

3164
02:19:11,280 --> 02:19:15,319
but he plays freaking for the freaking lle Dodgers. Well, yeah,

3165
02:19:15,360 --> 02:19:18,600
that's the worst. It doesn't mean great makes Dodgers fans happy,

3166
02:19:18,680 --> 02:19:19,600
and that makes me sad.

3167
02:19:19,760 --> 02:19:23,360
Speaker 1: It's weird because there was a chapter of his career

3168
02:19:23,479 --> 02:19:26,600
that was not in LA Yeah, when he was an

3169
02:19:26,639 --> 02:19:29,920
angel chapter it was perfect because he could put up

3170
02:19:29,920 --> 02:19:32,159
all these mad numbers and they would never do anything.

3171
02:19:32,200 --> 02:19:34,200
Speaker 2: It would be a three game series against the Angels.

3172
02:19:34,200 --> 02:19:36,200
See Astros would at least take two out of three.

3173
02:19:36,319 --> 02:19:38,559
He'd hit like three bombs and throw six shut out

3174
02:19:38,559 --> 02:19:40,399
and you're like, man, that was cool and it was

3175
02:19:40,520 --> 02:19:41,079
not a threat.

3176
02:19:41,479 --> 02:19:44,879
Speaker 1: The craziest thing ever. And anytime you're like, we always

3177
02:19:44,920 --> 02:19:46,760
talk about like who's the worst commissioner in sports? Who's

3178
02:19:46,760 --> 02:19:49,079
the worst? Is who's the worst? That? Yeah, Well, like

3179
02:19:49,239 --> 02:19:51,280
I feel like, if you're gonna go down the list

3180
02:19:51,319 --> 02:19:56,079
of worst owners in sports, you would never think, oh gosh,

3181
02:19:56,079 --> 02:19:59,680
I'm drawing a blank on the Angel's owner Hardy Moreno.

3182
02:19:59,680 --> 02:20:00,200
You would never.

3183
02:20:00,319 --> 02:20:02,879
Speaker 2: He'd never be at the top of the way. But

3184
02:20:03,120 --> 02:20:04,239
you're right, he's not great.

3185
02:20:04,399 --> 02:20:07,680
Speaker 3: But you you say, oh, Jerry Jones or you Moreno

3186
02:20:07,760 --> 02:20:09,559
spends money, but he spends money stupid.

3187
02:20:09,680 --> 02:20:13,319
Speaker 1: He had Mike Trout and Showy in their prime and one.

3188
02:20:13,399 --> 02:20:15,879
Speaker 2: Crap, they didn't even make the playoffs, I don't think.

3189
02:20:15,920 --> 02:20:17,799
Speaker 1: And then he goes and he said he spends money,

3190
02:20:18,120 --> 02:20:21,200
but he gives it to Anthony Rendon and immediately Anthony

3191
02:20:21,280 --> 02:20:25,479
Rindon dies. And he did the same thing with Josh Hamilton, Albert.

3192
02:20:25,159 --> 02:20:27,319
Speaker 2: Poohols, Mike Trout's been heard a bunch over there.

3193
02:20:27,520 --> 02:20:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's insane, So it's I don't even necessarily

3194
02:20:30,360 --> 02:20:32,200
blame him because a lot of it's dumb luck, and

3195
02:20:32,319 --> 02:20:34,200
I don't blame him for not I mean show Hay

3196
02:20:34,319 --> 02:20:35,799
was never going to stay there when he could just

3197
02:20:35,879 --> 02:20:38,399
go up the freeway a couple of hours, because that's

3198
02:20:38,399 --> 02:20:40,280
how long it would take to drive from Anaheim to

3199
02:20:40,440 --> 02:20:42,760
LA Because I've done it in the middle.

3200
02:20:42,559 --> 02:20:44,879
Speaker 2: Of a week day at two o'clock. It took me

3201
02:20:44,959 --> 02:20:47,600
two and a half hours just put on a podcast.

3202
02:20:47,719 --> 02:20:50,879
Speaker 1: Oh it was brutal, but yeah, well I also stopped

3203
02:20:50,920 --> 02:20:52,680
in Compton and Englewood on the lot along the way.

3204
02:20:53,239 --> 02:20:55,920
Speaker 2: Well because you know Crenshaw Boulevard. Yeah, okay, I had

3205
02:20:56,000 --> 02:20:58,079
to go to these places that I've heard about in

3206
02:20:58,440 --> 02:21:02,719
Hangout with Doe Boy. Yeah, you know, rick A Blim

3207
02:21:03,920 --> 02:21:06,879
got shots a Blend flying by, and I said, ice.

3208
02:21:06,719 --> 02:21:08,920
Speaker 1: Cubes of pimp on it. It was awesome. That sounds amazing,

3209
02:21:09,040 --> 02:21:11,440
sow the forum. This was way before SOFI was even

3210
02:21:11,479 --> 02:21:14,159
a thought. This is twenty seventeen. But yeah, going back

3211
02:21:14,159 --> 02:21:17,520
to the original point, I have mixed emotions because I

3212
02:21:17,719 --> 02:21:20,239
am a huge show hey fan, I really am. Yeah,

3213
02:21:20,479 --> 02:21:22,559
and I and even though he's a Dodger, I'm still

3214
02:21:22,600 --> 02:21:24,760
a huge fan. But it does suck.

3215
02:21:24,920 --> 02:21:28,680
Speaker 2: And last night I even texted Wex this, it sucks

3216
02:21:28,719 --> 02:21:30,959
to see the Blue Jays get out of the bases

3217
02:21:31,040 --> 02:21:33,040
loaded jam and I was.

3218
02:21:33,120 --> 02:21:38,639
Speaker 1: Like, what are you doing? Because he walked. He intentionally walked,

3219
02:21:38,680 --> 02:21:42,760
walked to get to Freeman, and I go, I will

3220
02:21:42,799 --> 02:21:45,479
pitch to Mookie Betts ten at ten times before I

3221
02:21:45,559 --> 02:21:46,479
pitched to Freddy Freeman.

3222
02:21:46,600 --> 02:21:49,000
Speaker 2: Well, who hit the walk off last night? Freddy Freeman.

3223
02:21:49,079 --> 02:21:50,879
Speaker 1: So I just like I think Mookie Betts.

3224
02:21:51,360 --> 02:21:53,600
Speaker 3: It was the matchup versus the pitcher. Some I imagine

3225
02:21:53,600 --> 02:21:57,639
there were there were some reasons. It was like the

3226
02:21:57,719 --> 02:21:59,920
end of that eighteenth inning game with the with the

3227
02:22:00,000 --> 02:22:02,799
the Astros and the Mariners. Everybody's just going up there, hacking, trying.

3228
02:22:03,000 --> 02:22:06,000
They turned one run scored in that game. They turned

3229
02:22:06,040 --> 02:22:08,120
it live home run derby. Everybody was just trying to

3230
02:22:08,159 --> 02:22:08,680
hit a home run.

3231
02:22:08,920 --> 02:22:12,719
Speaker 1: These two teams had combined for ten runs, the Astros.

3232
02:22:12,799 --> 02:22:17,559
That's what hurts. If you're a Mariners fan again, head

3233
02:22:17,719 --> 02:22:21,159
exactly you got you had one run scored between those

3234
02:22:21,200 --> 02:22:24,399
two teams and eighteen innings. That was so satisfying. It's

3235
02:22:24,479 --> 02:22:28,319
different with Victor winmbin Yama. It's very different. And the

3236
02:22:28,399 --> 02:22:32,319
first reason, first and foremost is that this guy at

3237
02:22:32,399 --> 02:22:37,639
the draft, it's uh, it's revealed that the Rockets will

3238
02:22:37,680 --> 02:22:40,159
pick fourth, they did not get the number one pick,

3239
02:22:40,680 --> 02:22:44,799
and this shrimp little weenie starts pumping his fist. As

3240
02:22:44,879 --> 02:22:47,600
far as I'm concerned, you're dead to me. You are

3241
02:22:47,639 --> 02:22:49,559
public at me. It's on site with you.

3242
02:22:50,360 --> 02:22:51,760
Speaker 2: Oh really, And by the way, I don't know if

3243
02:22:51,760 --> 02:22:54,680
you reach me, I would kick his ass in five seconds.

3244
02:22:54,680 --> 02:22:58,040
There's no chance. He's seven foot four and one hundred pounds.

3245
02:22:58,079 --> 02:23:00,440
I mean, I split them over my leg. Wouldn't even

3246
02:23:00,440 --> 02:23:03,600
have to pack you once he's more athletic. Okay, I've

3247
02:23:03,840 --> 02:23:06,200
move away from him minus about six hundred. He's gonna

3248
02:23:06,879 --> 02:23:07,520
got the back.

3249
02:23:07,719 --> 02:23:07,920
Speaker 1: Dude.

3250
02:23:08,000 --> 02:23:09,959
Speaker 2: He's been hanging out with like shoolin Monks.

3251
02:23:10,440 --> 02:23:11,319
Speaker 1: Well, I hung out with Dream.

3252
02:23:12,079 --> 02:23:14,559
Speaker 2: He's been doing like Brazilian jiu jitsu. Dream likes me better.

3253
02:23:14,760 --> 02:23:15,639
Just lift kettlebells.

3254
02:23:15,639 --> 02:23:16,319
Speaker 1: It's not the same.

3255
02:23:16,559 --> 02:23:19,079
Speaker 2: I haven't lifted those in ten years. Okay, that's how

3256
02:23:19,200 --> 02:23:23,760
confident I am. But I'm taking Wimby minus the minus

3257
02:23:23,799 --> 02:23:24,120
the money.

3258
02:23:24,200 --> 02:23:27,319
Speaker 1: Well, you're right, I mean it has been absolutely spectacular

3259
02:23:27,399 --> 02:23:30,040
to watch Wimby run rough shot over the Mavericks and

3260
02:23:30,120 --> 02:23:32,200
the Pelicans and the Nets and the Raptors.

3261
02:23:32,559 --> 02:23:34,840
Speaker 2: Those are four awful basketball teams.

3262
02:23:35,040 --> 02:23:35,520
Speaker 4: Here we go.

3263
02:23:35,879 --> 02:23:37,799
Speaker 3: It's true, and you know it. I heard you talking

3264
02:23:37,840 --> 02:23:40,239
about net ratings. Yes, number one in net rating.

3265
02:23:40,280 --> 02:23:41,799
Speaker 1: Which one of those teams is good? I'll wait.

3266
02:23:42,479 --> 02:23:45,840
Speaker 3: The Mavericks might end up being good. Okay, they're one

3267
02:23:45,879 --> 02:23:47,879
and three right now. It's not the same as being good.

3268
02:23:48,079 --> 02:23:49,319
Speaker 1: I'm not crowning them.

3269
02:23:49,399 --> 02:23:52,559
Speaker 2: Kyrie Hervey in the building that night. I have not

3270
02:23:52,680 --> 02:23:55,760
declared them NBA champions said he was the greatest player

3271
02:23:55,840 --> 02:23:59,079
you've ever seen. Four and they had their number. This

3272
02:23:59,159 --> 02:23:59,920
is These are the facts.

3273
02:24:00,040 --> 02:24:02,239
Speaker 3: They're undefeated, and they're number one in net rating and

3274
02:24:02,319 --> 02:24:04,719
basketball click scheduling eighth or something.

3275
02:24:05,200 --> 02:24:07,959
Speaker 1: Wow. This They've got a real barn burner against the

3276
02:24:08,159 --> 02:24:12,000
Miami Heat before they travel to Phoenix and then take

3277
02:24:12,079 --> 02:24:15,920
on the Lakers, Sands, Lebron and Luca. Oh look, November seven,

3278
02:24:15,920 --> 02:24:18,600
they're gonna get their asses kicked as the Rockets come

3279
02:24:18,639 --> 02:24:20,959
to town. All right, Well, you heard it here first,

3280
02:24:21,680 --> 02:24:24,680
and you better Hoday win that night, because I will

3281
02:24:24,760 --> 02:24:27,159
come after you. That can you come after him?

3282
02:24:27,159 --> 02:24:28,000
Speaker 2: You can come after me.

3283
02:24:28,120 --> 02:24:30,360
Speaker 1: You what, the guy's a freaking alien. You're not even

3284
02:24:30,440 --> 02:24:33,760
calling in the studio.

3285
02:24:33,959 --> 02:24:37,920
Speaker 3: If you murder you, He's an absolute freak of nature.

3286
02:24:38,079 --> 02:24:41,040
I mean, if you want to bury you, that you can.

3287
02:24:41,239 --> 02:24:42,200
He is a freak of nature.

3288
02:24:42,200 --> 02:24:44,079
Speaker 1: When they're taking on the junior high B teams of

3289
02:24:44,120 --> 02:24:46,840
the NBA, all right, come on, man, you have to

3290
02:24:46,920 --> 02:24:49,479
admit he's putting up huge numbers against a bunch of

3291
02:24:49,559 --> 02:24:50,280
seventh graders.

3292
02:24:51,040 --> 02:24:53,159
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is not a seventh grader. I'm sorry.

3293
02:24:54,840 --> 02:24:56,760
Speaker 1: I'll even give you a defensive Player of the Year

3294
02:24:57,120 --> 02:24:57,879
when he's healthy.

3295
02:24:58,600 --> 02:25:01,120
Speaker 2: He was healthy, he was on the floor, and he

3296
02:25:01,239 --> 02:25:03,760
made him look like his little cousin in the driveway.

3297
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:06,799
I'm scared more than anything. I'm scared. Would you say

3298
02:25:06,840 --> 02:25:09,120
the same thing if he did this against Rudy Gobert.

3299
02:25:09,520 --> 02:25:11,680
I can go to those multiple time defensive player of

3300
02:25:11,680 --> 02:25:13,760
the Year as well, Exactly. I consider those guys the

3301
02:25:13,799 --> 02:25:17,680
same dude. Defensively, Okay, they're long, Well, who's the best

3302
02:25:17,719 --> 02:25:20,399
defensive center in the game? Then to you, probably honest

3303
02:25:21,239 --> 02:25:23,840
y honis well, he's not a center. I mean he's

3304
02:25:23,879 --> 02:25:26,680
got he doesn't really have a so far. I mean

3305
02:25:26,840 --> 02:25:29,360
Victor Women, Yama, he's he's looking pretty dangerous.

3306
02:25:29,479 --> 02:25:32,079
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's fine. I know he's fine. All right,

3307
02:25:32,120 --> 02:25:34,840
It's fine, all right. I had my Philip Matt Thomas

3308
02:25:34,959 --> 02:25:35,280

3309
02:25:35,399 --> 02:25:38,239

Speaker 2: I appreciate him hanging out early on. He'll be on

3313
02:25:44,399 --> 02:25:45,719
the eight team coming up at two o'clock.

3314

Speaker 2: Your home for your ass SHOs. You know the teams

3319
02:25:57,360 --> 02:25:59,479
that win championships in this town here in Sports Talk

3320
02:25:59,479 --> 02:26:00,200
seven ninety.

3321
02:26:11,079 --> 02:26:13,600
Speaker 1: That's right, folks, we've been teasing it for three hours.

3322
02:26:13,920 --> 02:26:16,760
What's this copyrighted music you're playing? So we ever talked about?

3323
02:26:16,799 --> 02:26:19,360
I don't that anymore? Suck it? Yeah, well I get

3324
02:26:19,600 --> 02:26:24,280
first TV, pretty boys, I'm not pretty today, all right?

3325
02:26:24,360 --> 02:26:27,200
Speaker 2: We h this is the this is the NFL. Rewind music.

3326
02:26:27,479 --> 02:26:30,280
Okay of course I always remember. Jonathan knows this. When

3327
02:26:30,280 --> 02:26:33,200
Matt's out, I always remember to do every single segment

3328
02:26:33,280 --> 02:26:37,479
that we have planned. I never forget. I'm super organized.

3329
02:26:37,879 --> 02:26:40,319
Is Jonathan like be your baby for years? He has

3330
02:26:40,399 --> 02:26:41,600
to make sure you tell all your stuff?

3331
02:26:41,680 --> 02:26:42,079
Speaker 1: Yes, he is.

3332
02:26:42,200 --> 02:26:45,440
Speaker 2: He is very much because I'm like twice his age.

3333
02:26:45,479 --> 02:26:47,239
So I feel bad, but it doesn't.

3334
02:26:48,959 --> 02:26:50,319
Speaker 1: When you have a d D like we do.

3335
02:26:50,440 --> 02:26:52,440
Speaker 3: That's the organized one, and I'm the one that just

3336
02:26:52,479 --> 02:26:54,120
sits here and makes fun of him for four hours.

3337
02:26:54,159 --> 02:26:56,760
Speaker 1: That's that's what we do. That's it goes out. Everything's

3338
02:26:56,840 --> 02:26:58,719
messed out. And for better than a decade, it's been

3339
02:26:58,760 --> 02:27:02,920
a great formula. What's the problem, It's fix it. We're

3340
02:27:02,920 --> 02:27:06,479
still here. We're still here somehow, folks. That's why I'm

3341
02:27:06,479 --> 02:27:09,319
always resistant to change because I know the way I

3342
02:27:09,399 --> 02:27:11,840
do things is the best way. Okay, so why would

3343
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:13,360
I want to do it your way? Hmm.

3344
02:27:13,959 --> 02:27:14,399
Speaker 2: Interesting.

3345
02:27:14,520 --> 02:27:17,360
Speaker 1: So that's the attitude you should take into every scenario

3346
02:27:17,440 --> 02:27:19,719
in life. I'm not resistant, especially in marriage. It works

3347
02:27:19,840 --> 02:27:23,520
really well in marriage being resistant to change just always

3348
02:27:23,520 --> 02:27:26,879
being right too. In general? All right, good letters. When

3349
02:27:26,920 --> 02:27:27,879
you're married to who I'm married to?

3350
02:27:28,440 --> 02:27:28,840
Speaker 2: All right?

3351
02:27:29,280 --> 02:27:31,559
Speaker 1: Really not a strong personality at all. I'm gonna step

3352
02:27:31,639 --> 02:27:36,479
back out on that one. Also not very Italian. It's amazing.

3353
02:27:36,520 --> 02:27:38,799
I didn't get give the last night in my sleep

3354
02:27:38,959 --> 02:27:41,959
stab wounds on your neck. All right, we're talking about

3355
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:44,760
the NFL. Let's see, of course we know the Texans.

3356
02:27:45,280 --> 02:27:48,159
How about this, let's talk about this quickly. Your thoughts,

3357
02:27:48,680 --> 02:27:52,799
mister Clinton. The line opening up with the Broncos being

3358
02:27:52,879 --> 02:27:55,200
favored by one and a half, but now it has

3359
02:27:55,319 --> 02:27:59,079
moved to the other side. Texans now one and a

3360
02:27:59,120 --> 02:28:02,399
half point favorite. It's at home this weekend against the

3361
02:28:02,440 --> 02:28:05,600
differ Broncos. Well, and I heard you.

3362
02:28:05,600 --> 02:28:08,559
Speaker 2: Guys talking about this earlier. I was like, thank you

3363
02:28:08,639 --> 02:28:11,799
for listening. Why, thank you're welcome. Why are they favored

3364
02:28:11,920 --> 02:28:13,159
other than that they're at home?

3365
02:28:13,239 --> 02:28:15,680
Speaker 1: And it's basically it'd be a pick them if they

3366
02:28:15,719 --> 02:28:22,760
are on a neutral's field. I'm saying. It was the

3367
02:28:22,799 --> 02:28:26,000
same way. I was like, why, And they had defensive

3368
02:28:26,040 --> 02:28:29,200
injuries and then they kept suffering them every down during again,

3369
02:28:29,639 --> 02:28:31,719
more and more happened, But I don't see that happening

3370
02:28:31,799 --> 02:28:34,760
with the Broncos. And oh, by the way, this is gross.

3371
02:28:34,879 --> 02:28:37,440
Youre getting ready for this. We're talking about this yesterday,

3372
02:28:37,639 --> 02:28:39,360
because you know, wex he's a numbers guy. I don't

3373
02:28:39,360 --> 02:28:41,879
know if you've heard he likes numbers. He likes spreadsheets

3374
02:28:41,920 --> 02:28:45,239
and numbers. Very acidic. What what was the line from

3375
02:28:45,280 --> 02:28:47,399
Wolf of Wall Street? I don't know, it's very acidic.

3376
02:28:47,479 --> 02:28:50,079
These numbers. He's asking him how many times a day

3377
02:28:50,079 --> 02:28:50,760
he does a certain thing.

3378
02:28:50,840 --> 02:28:53,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So anyway, those are rookie numbers in this racket.

3379
02:28:53,520 --> 02:28:57,120
Speaker 1: Rookie numbers in this racket. So he's like talking about

3380
02:28:57,200 --> 02:29:01,040
how the Texans have gone up again, the team that

3381
02:29:01,360 --> 02:29:04,840
is number two overall in sacks, number three overall in sacks,

3382
02:29:05,239 --> 02:29:08,639
and I think number five overall in sacks. Pressure, well

3383
02:29:08,680 --> 02:29:10,799
that came into it, but just just from the standpoint

3384
02:29:10,840 --> 02:29:13,760
of sacks, they were zero and three against those teams,

3385
02:29:14,440 --> 02:29:17,200
the Rams, the Bucks, I can't remember what the other one,

3386
02:29:17,360 --> 02:29:19,399
but point of all that it was the next one

3387
02:29:19,440 --> 02:29:19,840
in line.

3388
02:29:20,399 --> 02:29:23,920
Speaker 2: The Rams is second to the Broncos, who have thirty

3389
02:29:24,239 --> 02:29:27,840
six sacks I believe. Is that is that accurate?

3390
02:29:29,600 --> 02:29:32,040
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks was the other team. Yes, so,

3391
02:29:32,319 --> 02:29:35,600
I think they played three of their first handful of

3392
02:29:35,680 --> 02:29:38,600
games were teams in the top ten of sacks this year,

3393
02:29:39,239 --> 02:29:42,559
and the Broncos leaped frog the next closest one by ten.

3394
02:29:43,000 --> 02:29:46,479
Is the point I'm getting at. When CJ.

3395
02:29:46,639 --> 02:29:50,760
Speaker 2: Stroud can have time to do his thing, he shreds absolutely.

3396
02:29:50,959 --> 02:29:54,200
When he doesn't, he don't score against the Titans for

3397
02:29:54,280 --> 02:29:56,600
three quarters. Also, I would say the protection has been

3398
02:29:56,879 --> 02:30:02,319
a lot better at home, communication issues, and they just

3399
02:30:02,360 --> 02:30:03,200
haven't had the chemistry.

3400
02:30:03,239 --> 02:30:05,239
Speaker 3: They've been shuffling guys around. I mean guys going down

3401
02:30:05,239 --> 02:30:06,799
and getting hurting, all that type of stuff. It's easier

3402
02:30:07,280 --> 02:30:09,319
to communicate at home in the first in the first place.

3403
02:30:09,399 --> 02:30:11,280
And have you been to Mile High before for a game?

3404
02:30:11,719 --> 02:30:14,440
I have, not the first ever Texans field, but not

3405
02:30:14,520 --> 02:30:16,399
Mile High? Right, you didn't it snow on you?

3406
02:30:17,040 --> 02:30:17,079
Speaker 11: No?

3407
02:30:17,360 --> 02:30:20,600
Speaker 1: Okay, the first ever Texans game at Mile High? Is

3408
02:30:20,639 --> 02:30:23,680
it a metaphor No? Now, they don't do that there.

3409
02:30:23,680 --> 02:30:29,799
They do a different substance. It's great. They probablyknew that

3410
02:30:29,840 --> 02:30:31,440
there too, so do that. But I wasn't doing a

3411
02:30:31,479 --> 02:30:35,840
lot of that going there. So anyway, like the first

3412
02:30:35,879 --> 02:30:38,719
ever Texans game at Mile High, I was there wasn't

3413
02:30:38,719 --> 02:30:41,239
a pretty afternoon. That's a tough place to play the

3414
02:30:41,399 --> 02:30:43,600
altitude obviously, but then the steps.

3415
02:30:43,639 --> 02:30:45,239
Speaker 2: Did you get winded going up the steps or anything.

3416
02:30:45,280 --> 02:30:47,399
I was on the field for that game and then

3417
02:30:47,479 --> 02:30:50,440
hung out with Bob Allen then returns for six yards.

3418
02:30:50,559 --> 02:30:53,760
Speaker 1: That was me. Okay, nice, I was carrying my parabolic

3419
02:30:53,879 --> 02:30:56,079
mic at the time. That's cool.

3420
02:30:56,360 --> 02:30:57,719
Speaker 2: It was just evenna run over by anybody.

3421
02:30:57,719 --> 02:30:59,959
Speaker 1: Did you you know what happened there? I didn't dress appropriate.

3422
02:31:00,719 --> 02:31:01,079
Speaker 7: Hmmm.

3423
02:31:01,280 --> 02:31:03,840
Speaker 1: It was a very la moment where it was well,

3424
02:31:03,879 --> 02:31:05,559
the sun was out, it was a nice temperature, and

3425
02:31:05,600 --> 02:31:08,040
then the sun went down and it immediately got freezing.

3426
02:31:08,399 --> 02:31:10,399
Speaker 2: Yes, and I was wearing a long sleeved T shirt

3427
02:31:10,440 --> 02:31:13,520
and jeans. Ooh, so the probably.

3428
02:31:13,719 --> 02:31:16,520
Speaker 1: Entire second half I wanted to kill You're running in place, Yeah,

3429
02:31:16,559 --> 02:31:17,639
I get the frostbite.

3430
02:31:17,719 --> 02:31:19,360
Speaker 2: It was very very cold, and your feet are still

3431
02:31:19,360 --> 02:31:21,040
black to this day. It's a give a stake, all right,

3432
02:31:21,079 --> 02:31:23,479
it happens. I was broken college, all right. Well elsewhere

3433
02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:28,239
in the NFL. How about last night the Kansas City

3434
02:31:28,319 --> 02:31:31,159
Chiefs taking care of business against the Washington Commanders and

3435
02:31:31,200 --> 02:31:36,079
Marcus Mariota twenty eight to seven win. But Travis Kelcey

3436
02:31:36,680 --> 02:31:41,120
tying Priest Holmes. It's the all time touchdowns leader in

3437
02:31:41,280 --> 02:31:46,600
the Kansas City Chiefs history. Now I heard that and

3438
02:31:46,719 --> 02:31:49,120
I was like, didn't Priest Holmes only have like two

3439
02:31:49,200 --> 02:31:50,639
three good seasons with the Chiefs.

3440
02:31:51,639 --> 02:31:54,440
Speaker 1: I didn't. Really. He had twenty seven rushing touchdowns in

3441
02:31:54,479 --> 02:31:57,040
two thousand and three. Priest Holmes, he was on my

3442
02:31:57,079 --> 02:31:59,479
fancy team that year. Well, I imagine you won the

3443
02:31:59,559 --> 02:32:01,000
champions I did, or you should have.

3444
02:32:01,120 --> 02:32:06,000
Speaker 3: I destroyed twenty one to touchdowns the year before that

3445
02:32:06,159 --> 02:32:10,040
was my first year only in six years, I mean

3446
02:32:10,120 --> 02:32:12,120
the last year he was barely even there. He had it,

3447
02:32:12,600 --> 02:32:15,680
did not play injured. And in parentheses it says spine.

3448
02:32:16,559 --> 02:32:18,920
That doesn't sound fun for Priest Holmes.

3449
02:32:19,200 --> 02:32:23,799
Speaker 2: But really, basically six years, three of them were half

3450
02:32:24,159 --> 02:32:27,319
of half years or less. He was the all time

3451
02:32:28,079 --> 02:32:31,280
touchdown leader in Kansas City Chiefs. I mean, we're talking

3452
02:32:31,319 --> 02:32:36,079
about a storied franchise with it on. Don't forget they've

3453
02:32:36,079 --> 02:32:40,440
had several like amazing running back Christian mccoya, Christian Nakoya,

3454
02:32:41,120 --> 02:32:44,559
the ninety year nightmare, not a Moby. Yeah, okay, that

3455
02:32:44,680 --> 02:32:47,280
was the Texan. He didn't do much of anything. Yes,

3456
02:32:47,719 --> 02:32:50,239
Larry Johnson was good there, Larry Johnson, and they had

3457
02:32:51,680 --> 02:32:54,399
oh geez, Jamal Charles Longhorn legend.

3458
02:32:54,239 --> 02:32:56,559
Speaker 1: Who's the crazy one though, was that Larry Johnson?

3459
02:32:56,879 --> 02:32:57,639
Speaker 2: He was a little crazy.

3460
02:32:57,680 --> 02:32:59,399
Speaker 1: Who's the one that's crazy now? I think it was.

3461
02:32:59,760 --> 02:33:02,479
Speaker 2: I think Larry John's like the aliens are listening around.

3462
02:33:03,000 --> 02:33:06,079
He's a flat earther. Yeah, come on, guys, fly on

3463
02:33:06,200 --> 02:33:08,799
one plane. He's basically come on. He's basically a football

3464
02:33:08,879 --> 02:33:12,399
version of Carl Everett. Yes, he said dinosaurs weren't really.

3465
02:33:12,399 --> 02:33:15,000
Disars weren't real. I mean, come on, where these giant

3466
02:33:15,040 --> 02:33:17,239
fossils were finding? You think they just kind of made

3467
02:33:17,280 --> 02:33:20,159
those up. We didn't land on the moon. No, all

3468
02:33:20,239 --> 02:33:21,319
that stuff didn't do any of that.

3469
02:33:22,120 --> 02:33:23,760
Speaker 1: JFK. I could that's different.

3470
02:33:24,239 --> 02:33:24,840
Speaker 2: Oh he's dead.

3471
02:33:25,360 --> 02:33:27,319
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that's not.

3472
02:33:27,440 --> 02:33:30,559
Speaker 2: This dispute, Jacko? Kids who did jack? You can confirm

3473
02:33:31,760 --> 02:33:33,559
too soon? Figure headed me?

3474
02:33:33,799 --> 02:33:36,920
Speaker 1: That meme is incredible? Which one you haven't seen?

3475
02:33:36,959 --> 02:33:41,319
Speaker 3: A jackular I haven't, no, kay, I am not taking

3476
02:33:41,399 --> 02:33:45,280
in the thousands of JFK memes and anytime anything happens with.

3477
02:33:45,360 --> 02:33:47,280
Speaker 1: JFK had sent to me that this one is in

3478
02:33:47,360 --> 02:33:48,000
your wheelhouse.

3479
02:33:48,079 --> 02:33:48,760
Speaker 2: You sick o.

3480
02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:50,559
Speaker 1: When I showed to you during the break, you're gonna

3481
02:33:50,559 --> 02:33:52,959
be so happy I showed it. Okay, we'll see we're

3482
02:33:53,000 --> 02:33:54,479
not doing it now. Well we're gonna take that. But

3483
02:33:54,680 --> 02:33:56,879
no one more quick NFL note. We have to get

3484
02:33:56,920 --> 02:33:59,799
here on the NFL where we want. The Saints are starting.

3485
02:34:00,000 --> 02:34:05,440
Tyler Shuck over Spencer Rattler. Your thoughts, that's like death

3486
02:34:05,520 --> 02:34:08,200
by drowning versus burning the death right.

3487
02:34:09,079 --> 02:34:11,159
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe we don't need to get deep into that.

3488
02:34:11,399 --> 02:34:11,760
Speaker 9: I guess.

3489
02:34:11,920 --> 02:34:13,959
Speaker 1: Oh well, you know what. I don't feel sorry for

3490
02:34:14,040 --> 02:34:18,159
Saints fans, including Chris Gordy one bit, you had two

3491
02:34:18,280 --> 02:34:22,879
decades of Drew Brees after the Chargers just unceremoniously dumped him,

3492
02:34:23,760 --> 02:34:24,760
I don't feel sorry for you.

3493
02:34:25,399 --> 02:34:27,799
Speaker 2: And one more quick note on Adrian Peterson, who was

3494
02:34:28,319 --> 02:34:32,639
arrested on charges of while driving while intoxicated and unlawfully

3495
02:34:32,719 --> 02:34:36,520
carrying a weapon. Stop getting arrested in Texas. Adrian he

3496
02:34:36,840 --> 02:34:41,079
was at the wheel of his SAUV in a suburban

3497
02:34:41,159 --> 02:34:43,360
Houston gas station down Sureland.

3498
02:34:43,440 --> 02:34:43,559
Speaker 1: Right.

3499
02:34:43,959 --> 02:34:46,600
Speaker 2: He was asleep at the wheel in sugar Land, Yes,

3500
02:34:46,840 --> 02:34:48,760
Fort Being County, at nine am.

3501
02:34:49,600 --> 02:34:53,520
Speaker 3: Asleep at the wheel, detected the odor of alcoholic beverage

3502
02:34:53,559 --> 02:34:57,719
emanating from his person. He had bloodshot, slash, glassy eyes,

3503
02:34:57,799 --> 02:35:00,319
and slurred speech. Where did they find him is a

3504
02:35:00,399 --> 02:35:02,840
parking lot asked where he was coming from. It was

3505
02:35:03,159 --> 02:35:04,520
in a parked at a gas station.

3506
02:35:04,760 --> 02:35:10,399
Speaker 1: Okay, in all seriousness, and as someone who has not

3507
02:35:10,520 --> 02:35:12,680
dealt with us personally, but I've had people close to

3508
02:35:12,799 --> 02:35:15,159
me that he needs help, Like somebody needs to reach

3509
02:35:15,200 --> 02:35:18,079
out because that kind of behavior right there. It's one

3510
02:35:18,120 --> 02:35:21,520
thing to to have issues like that, but when you're

3511
02:35:21,559 --> 02:35:23,280
out in the car and you can hurt other people

3512
02:35:23,360 --> 02:35:25,719
and then they're finding you in parking lots, that's not good.

3513
02:35:25,959 --> 02:35:28,200
Speaker 3: Second, d w I arrest in seven months and there

3514
02:35:28,280 --> 02:35:29,920
was he said he was coming from a poker game.

3515
02:35:29,920 --> 02:35:31,440

02:35:40,959 --> 02:35:43,600
Speaker 2: After I mean, that can't happen. Well, like, yeah, if

Speaker 2: Yeah, we got. We got the floor seats were only

02:37:46,239 --> 02:37:48,000
like two hundred bucks or something. It was pretty good. Deal,

3570
02:37:48,159 --> 02:37:48,920
was such a great trip.

3571
02:37:49,440 --> 02:37:51,719
Speaker 1: Had floor seats to Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden

3572
02:37:51,799 --> 02:37:54,200
for the very first show of his residency that went

3573
02:37:54,280 --> 02:37:55,159
for like a decade.

3574
02:37:55,680 --> 02:37:56,840
Speaker 2: Had floor seats to Barklay.

3575
02:37:56,879 --> 02:37:58,680
Speaker 1: What did you say that was? This would have been

3576
02:37:58,799 --> 02:37:59,920
January of twenty.

3577
02:37:59,760 --> 02:38:03,719
Speaker 3: Four which, yeah, Victor Ortez, Yeah yeah, Victor orts got

3578
02:38:03,840 --> 02:38:06,280
knocked out in the second round. So I think you've

3579
02:38:06,319 --> 02:38:07,600
just been there for about five minutes.

3580
02:38:07,920 --> 02:38:08,520
Speaker 2: I got there late.

3581
02:38:08,799 --> 02:38:12,600
Speaker 1: That's fine, it's fine, it's fine, but it was very busy. Uh,

3582
02:38:12,799 --> 02:38:15,920
long train ride too to get up there. Brooklyn was

3583
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:18,440
nice because we were staying in Midtown Manhattan. We were

3584
02:38:18,479 --> 02:38:21,399
in Manhattan and Barclays of courses in Brooklyn. So I

3585
02:38:22,079 --> 02:38:25,479
the long train ride, I didn't get I didn't get

3586
02:38:25,479 --> 02:38:26,920
shanked on the train though. It was safe back then.

3587
02:38:27,000 --> 02:38:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're fine, I mean yeah. So anyways, was that

3588
02:38:31,600 --> 02:38:35,399
the night that we went to white Castle after? I

3589
02:38:35,559 --> 02:38:40,319
think so? And white Castle is horrible? This is it sucked?

3590
02:38:40,399 --> 02:38:40,600
Speaker 4: It was.

3591
02:38:41,000 --> 02:38:43,760
Speaker 1: It was terrible. Ross and I disagree on so many things.

3592
02:38:43,840 --> 02:38:46,760
We love each other fiercely, but we also disagree on

3593
02:38:46,840 --> 02:38:48,760
so much stuff. You always want to be wrong, No,

3594
02:38:48,879 --> 02:38:50,479
you want to be wrong. We already covered this in

3595
02:38:50,520 --> 02:38:54,079
the first segment. I'm always right. I have never agreed

3596
02:38:54,120 --> 02:38:55,079
with Ross on something.

3597
02:38:55,200 --> 02:38:55,360
Speaker 8: More.

3598
02:38:55,600 --> 02:38:58,479
Speaker 1: We're looking like we're eating this food if you want

3599
02:38:58,479 --> 02:39:01,360
to call it that. Oh, and We're looking at each other.

3600
02:39:01,440 --> 02:39:05,639
I'll never forget, and I go, hey, man, this kind

3601
02:39:05,639 --> 02:39:09,079
of sucks, right yes, and You're like yeah, and I'm

3602
02:39:09,200 --> 02:39:11,559
already starting to feel bad, like my stomach.

3603
02:39:11,719 --> 02:39:15,479
Speaker 2: The onions were funky. Yeah, you know what it reminded

3604
02:39:15,520 --> 02:39:15,680
me of.

3605
02:39:15,959 --> 02:39:18,479
Speaker 3: It reminded me of like school lunch, you know where

3606
02:39:18,520 --> 02:39:21,120
it's like you get a hamburger and it tastes it

3607
02:39:21,239 --> 02:39:24,079
tastes like microwaves sixty five percent of what you think

3608
02:39:24,120 --> 02:39:27,000
a hamburger should taste like. Yeah, the flavors are sort

3609
02:39:27,040 --> 02:39:29,840
of there. It's like hamburger flavored food, but it's not

3610
02:39:29,959 --> 02:39:32,079
a hamburger. That's what it tasted like to me.

3611
02:39:32,239 --> 02:39:34,399
Speaker 1: I just I'll never forget that because it was the

3612
02:39:34,520 --> 02:39:38,600
first and the last time I've ever consumed white Castle.

3613
02:39:39,360 --> 02:39:41,920
Speaker 3: I don't think, I mean people swear by that stuff.

3614
02:39:42,000 --> 02:39:43,760
Oh maybe those the Northeastern is love. They made a

3615
02:39:43,799 --> 02:39:46,040
whole movie about it, Harold and Kumar. So that's why

3616
02:39:46,079 --> 02:39:49,680
I was excited. Stupid Yankees, that whole movie. I mean,

3617
02:39:49,760 --> 02:39:53,760
it is a classic Stoner film. Down here, Waterburger and

3618
02:39:53,840 --> 02:39:54,479
be a real man.

3619
02:39:54,639 --> 02:39:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Waterburger's much better. Oh man. I couldn't wait to

3620
02:39:57,399 --> 02:39:59,719
come home and eat waterburg and I did good.

3621
02:40:00,159 --> 02:40:02,680
Speaker 3: You know, I would say ninety five percent of the

3622
02:40:02,719 --> 02:40:05,120
time I go anywhere, which when I go on vacation

3623
02:40:05,639 --> 02:40:07,159
and I come back, like the first things I have

3624
02:40:07,200 --> 02:40:08,520
to do I have to get Mexican food and don't

3625
02:40:08,520 --> 02:40:09,680

3626
02:40:09,559 --> 02:40:11,440
Speaker 1: I come back. It's been too long since I've had

3627
02:40:11,520 --> 02:40:15,200
water Burger. Okay, I'm not saying I get it tonight,

3628
02:40:15,399 --> 02:40:16,200
but I'm not saying I'm not.

3629
02:40:17,680 --> 02:40:20,040
Speaker 2: Feels like you're saying you might. Well, what's today? When

3630
02:40:20,159 --> 02:40:22,319
Tuesday is Tuesday, I don't know what data is. She's

3631
02:40:22,479 --> 02:40:24,280
she's got some good Italian food on the way, So

3632
02:40:24,360 --> 02:40:25,879
I can't do that. What do you mean on the way?

3633
02:40:26,159 --> 02:40:28,120
Speaker 1: Well, she's gonna be it'll be ready by the time

3634
02:40:28,159 --> 02:40:30,920
I get there. Oh okay, because of when my shift

3635
02:40:31,040 --> 02:40:33,159
is and in the traffic, I walk in the door

3636
02:40:33,200 --> 02:40:35,959
at like a quarter to seven most nights and they've

3637
02:40:35,959 --> 02:40:38,959
already finished whatever it is, and it's like they don't

3638
02:40:38,959 --> 02:40:40,639
wait for you to eat. I don't want them to.

3639
02:40:41,239 --> 02:40:43,719
He's got to go to bed at basically like seven thirty.

3640
02:40:43,840 --> 02:40:45,920
Oh he being your son, Yeah, he's seven years old.

3641
02:40:45,959 --> 02:40:46,440
He needs all this.

3642
02:40:46,600 --> 02:40:48,200
Speaker 2: Maybe you picked up a straggler.

3643
02:40:48,760 --> 02:40:51,520
Speaker 1: No, we don't need any more people at the house

3644
02:40:51,559 --> 02:40:54,840
consuming anything. Okay, we have him, we have me. We

3645
02:40:54,959 --> 02:40:57,840
have two dogs that are treated like humans. It's so stupid.

3646
02:40:58,239 --> 02:41:01,760
All right, she thinks we're getting a third You're gonna

3647
02:41:01,760 --> 02:41:03,360
get a third dog? Said no, we're gonna wait for

3648
02:41:03,399 --> 02:41:06,680
these two to die. And yeah, how old they're getting

3649
02:41:06,760 --> 02:41:08,719
up there, they're like ten or eleven. I think she

3650
02:41:08,840 --> 02:41:10,520
gonna wait for the dogs to croak to get new ones.

3651
02:41:10,879 --> 02:41:13,639
Speaker 2: We're not getting new ones. She thinks we are. We're not,

3652
02:41:14,319 --> 02:41:18,680
all right, and then he brings another one home. That's

3653
02:41:18,680 --> 02:41:21,000
when I start buying stuff I want. That's how that works.

3654
02:41:21,280 --> 02:41:24,479
Speaker 1: Oh, you got a new dog. That's great. I got

3655
02:41:24,520 --> 02:41:25,079
a corvette.

3656
02:41:27,639 --> 02:41:28,879
Speaker 2: So when are you gonna So when do you think

3657
02:41:28,879 --> 02:41:30,559
the third dog will be there? It feels like within

3658
02:41:30,600 --> 02:41:33,239
the next six months whatever my vet shows up. What

3659
02:41:33,360 --> 02:41:35,040
does that mean to euthanize?

3660
02:41:35,920 --> 02:41:37,600
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying like, if she wants to go do

3661
02:41:37,799 --> 02:41:40,680
something stupid, I can do that. We can play that game.

3662
02:41:42,200 --> 02:41:44,719
Speaker 2: I can spend dumb money too. This sounds like a

3663
02:41:44,799 --> 02:41:48,040
very vague I can do it better than you, and more,

3664
02:41:48,680 --> 02:41:52,319
I'll spend much more. This sounds sounds very like a

3665
02:41:52,360 --> 02:41:54,799
following the situation. It sounds like a powder keg situation.

3666
02:41:54,920 --> 02:41:57,239
She goes, she says this, She goes, You know, a

3667
02:41:57,959 --> 02:42:01,079
Grand piano would look great in our house. Okay, a

3668
02:42:01,120 --> 02:42:04,239
few things, okay, No, like a baby Grand or a

3669
02:42:04,280 --> 02:42:06,040
real Grand. What do you get one of those Steinways

3670
02:42:06,079 --> 02:42:06,399
and Sons?

3671
02:42:06,440 --> 02:42:09,719
Speaker 3: Those bad boys are like fine, sixty grand for the

3672
02:42:09,879 --> 02:42:10,479
low end.

3673
02:42:10,760 --> 02:42:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get them. Like the only person who's even

3674
02:42:13,280 --> 02:42:16,000
had lessons in our house is it ut in her

3675
02:42:16,079 --> 02:42:18,959
second year. We're not getting a Grand piano. But if

3676
02:42:19,000 --> 02:42:21,040
you want to say dumb things like that, I'll go

3677
02:42:21,159 --> 02:42:23,319
buy Lars's commemorative forty grand set.

3678
02:42:23,760 --> 02:42:26,799
Speaker 2: I'll get a drum set because two of us played drums.

3679
02:42:27,280 --> 02:42:29,639
Oh your oh, your son plays drums too, right, Hey,

3680
02:42:29,799 --> 02:42:33,520
dabbles seven, I actually play all right, you can get those.

3681
02:42:33,959 --> 02:42:35,399
You can get those ones that are just pads. They

3682
02:42:35,399 --> 02:42:36,239
don't make any sound.

3683
02:42:36,159 --> 02:42:38,399
Speaker 1: Or they make very little set right, the electronic ones. Okay,

3684
02:42:38,479 --> 02:42:38,920
is that what you have?

3685
02:42:39,280 --> 02:42:39,319
Speaker 9: No?

3686
02:42:39,760 --> 02:42:42,520
Speaker 2: Okay, you got a full on, loud, banging drum set. Again,

3687
02:42:42,600 --> 02:42:44,319
get a real set like in a garage.

3688
02:42:44,639 --> 02:42:48,040
Speaker 1: No to my theater. Okay, well yeah, I'm like, we're

3689
02:42:48,040 --> 02:42:49,799
not getting a third dog that's the whole point of this.

3690
02:42:49,840 --> 02:42:50,959
So you're gonna get a grand piano?

3691
02:42:51,239 --> 02:42:51,280
Speaker 9: No?

3692
02:42:51,520 --> 02:42:53,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, those Steinways there, I looked at a baby Grund.

3693
02:42:53,879 --> 02:42:56,520
There's a Steinway and Sun's store like in River Oaks.

3694
02:42:56,719 --> 02:42:59,319
Those things are like hundreds of thousands of dots, insane.

3695
02:42:59,799 --> 02:43:01,959
In the baby grands are like six to eight. And

3696
02:43:02,079 --> 02:43:04,559
that's for the low ends. I'm like, if we're gonna

3697
02:43:04,600 --> 02:43:05,959
spend that kind of money, you just get one on

3698
02:43:06,000 --> 02:43:10,360
Craigslist or or even model the bathroom. Do some of

3699
02:43:10,399 --> 02:43:12,239
these things we actually need to do to our house.

3700
02:43:13,239 --> 02:43:14,959
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're gonna you're gonna get a full grand

3701
02:43:15,040 --> 02:43:17,360
or a baby Grand. We're getting neither. Ross.

3702
02:43:17,719 --> 02:43:19,440
Speaker 2: I feel like you're getting a piano and a third No,

3703
02:43:19,600 --> 02:43:21,760
going back to point, we'll check back in twenty twal

3704
02:43:22,040 --> 02:43:24,920
It plays, Why don't you pick it up? It's fun.

3705
02:43:25,559 --> 02:43:28,159
Speaker 1: I don't want to pick up a hobby for forty grand.

3706
02:43:29,239 --> 02:43:30,040
That's kind of a spa.

3707
02:43:31,239 --> 02:43:34,600
Speaker 2: You gotta pay it. You can get a keyboard, there's

3708
02:43:34,639 --> 02:43:35,040
one of those.

3709
02:43:35,360 --> 02:43:35,840
Speaker 1: There's one of those.

3710
02:43:36,360 --> 02:43:38,479
Speaker 3: I learned when I was eight. I learned on the keyboard.

3711
02:43:39,319 --> 02:43:41,239
Then you plug in the headphones. That's what my dad

3712
02:43:41,280 --> 02:43:42,959
was like, Yeah, you better plug that headphone in pal.

3713

You know who loves to hear about our our back

3714

3765
02:45:56,120 --> 02:45:59,680
You're fine, It's just something that won't get dusted. I

3766
02:45:59,760 --> 02:46:01,760
mean they look nice. I'm like, where that's the other thing?

3767
02:46:01,760 --> 02:46:03,760
Where are gonna put it? I don't know. We're gonna

3768
02:46:03,799 --> 02:46:05,280
move out the dining room table. I haven't been.

3769
02:46:05,399 --> 02:46:06,719
Speaker 2: I haven't been to your house in many moods.

3770
02:46:06,799 --> 02:46:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, very very bitter.

3771
02:46:12,200 --> 02:46:12,600
Speaker 7: It's far.

3772
02:46:13,479 --> 02:46:14,680
Speaker 2: You know, when I was supposed to come to my

3773
02:46:14,799 --> 02:46:17,079
unpaid vacation, I forgot about that, and thanks for doing that.

3774
02:46:17,200 --> 02:46:19,520
It was just I was I got a lot of

3775
02:46:19,520 --> 02:46:20,399
stuff done around the house.

3776
02:46:20,639 --> 02:46:23,000
Speaker 1: Bad friend. You don't back. That's not true.

3777
02:46:23,040 --> 02:46:24,680
Speaker 2: I text you hold on. Let me, don't even love

3778
02:46:24,719 --> 02:46:27,360
me anymore. I want to divorce again.

3779
02:46:28,879 --> 02:46:30,719
Speaker 1: Let's go to counseling. We can work this out. Maybe

3780
02:46:31,200 --> 02:46:33,440
I'll tell you what couple's counseling. There's another one for you.

3781
02:46:34,120 --> 02:46:36,280
Go down that rabbit hole and not with this one.

3782
02:46:37,639 --> 02:46:39,440
She knows better than ask me to go to that crap.

3783
02:46:40,520 --> 02:46:43,120
What a racket that's like. There was weddings in college.

3784
02:46:43,399 --> 02:46:45,200
Speaker 2: I think it'd be very helpful for you, all right,

3785
02:46:45,239 --> 02:46:48,360
But anyways to pay someone to take her side.

3786
02:46:48,440 --> 02:46:51,559
Speaker 1: No, I'm good. I'm good. You don't know that, Yeah

3787
02:46:51,600 --> 02:46:52,639
I do. I've done it once.

3788
02:46:53,079 --> 02:46:56,079
Speaker 2: Well, okay, here's we're took the mirror. Then maybe you're wrong.

3789
02:46:56,159 --> 02:46:57,879
We're gonna go to a couples counseling or we're not

3790
02:46:57,959 --> 02:46:59,879
gonna make it. Why don't you hand pick the gonna

3791
02:46:59,879 --> 02:47:00,120
make it?

3792
02:47:01,040 --> 02:47:06,239
Speaker 1: And we didn't. It's fine, It's fine, all right, Adam Clinton.

3793
02:47:06,280 --> 02:47:08,280
I mean that that is a what else you want

3794
02:47:08,280 --> 02:47:08,719
to talk about?

3795
02:47:08,760 --> 02:47:12,600
Speaker 2: Ross a thicket of a forest for the issues, for

3796
02:47:12,719 --> 02:47:14,360
the therapists to work for days.

3797
02:47:14,719 --> 02:47:16,200
Speaker 1: Jotan must think that I am just this.

3798
02:47:16,319 --> 02:47:18,600
Speaker 3: It's gonna be I think about three sessions a week

3799
02:47:18,639 --> 02:47:20,520
for about six months just to start.

3800
02:47:20,680 --> 02:47:22,799
Speaker 1: This is why I'm interested. I'm saying, well, this is

3801
02:47:22,840 --> 02:47:24,719
why I can tell you a lot, man, This is

3802
02:47:24,799 --> 02:47:26,600
why Matt and I get along.

3803
02:47:26,840 --> 02:47:31,840
Speaker 2: Yes, because we're both just absolute awful people to prave

3804
02:47:31,959 --> 02:47:32,479
human beings.

3805
02:47:32,600 --> 02:47:34,840
Speaker 1: But he kind of he lives vicariously through me, I

3806
02:47:34,920 --> 02:47:35,680
believe sometimes.

3807
02:47:35,879 --> 02:47:38,479
Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah, he's still vicariously through everyone because I'm

3808
02:47:38,559 --> 02:47:39,840
way less filtered than he is.

3809
02:47:40,239 --> 02:47:41,799
Speaker 1: That's true. We think the same things.

3810
02:47:42,719 --> 02:47:45,920
Speaker 2: So we were gonna talk about, Oh, rockets, got their

3811
02:47:45,920 --> 02:47:46,840
first win last.

3812
02:47:46,719 --> 02:47:49,840
Speaker 1: Night, Adam, Yeah, it was. It was a San Antonio special.

3813
02:47:50,639 --> 02:47:52,799
Brooklyn Nets came to town smashed them. Oh, we're the

3814
02:47:52,879 --> 02:47:55,399
best team in the NBA. Feels good, doesn't it. Well,

3815
02:47:55,440 --> 02:47:57,959
the Rocky sisters of the poor. The Rockets are number

3816
02:47:58,000 --> 02:48:00,280
eight I think in the NBA. Now, that's why one

3817
02:48:00,319 --> 02:48:02,239
and two in net rating. I got news for you.

3818
02:48:02,360 --> 02:48:05,879
Another Spurs wins coming up on Wednesday. They're just gonna

3819
02:48:05,879 --> 02:48:06,879
have to go to Canada night.

3820
02:48:07,000 --> 02:48:08,879
Speaker 3: I mean they are there four and oh they've been

3821
02:48:08,920 --> 02:48:10,639
a bad team for the last couple of years. We're

3822
02:48:10,639 --> 02:48:11,879
not talking about the Spurs though, what.

3823
02:48:11,840 --> 02:48:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Rocks. If you're playing the same

3824
02:48:14,680 --> 02:48:17,319
schedule the Spurs are, you'd be really good too.

3825
02:48:17,600 --> 02:48:20,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's not like the Pistons. The Pistons got trashed

3826
02:48:20,399 --> 02:48:23,040
by the Cavaliers. But the Calves were good last night.

3827
02:48:23,079 --> 02:48:24,200
The Calves were very good.

3828
02:48:24,280 --> 02:48:26,479
Speaker 1: And the Calves are actually a very good regular season

3829
02:48:26,559 --> 02:48:28,760
for now three years running. And the Rockets are gonna

3830
02:48:28,760 --> 02:48:29,520
be good. Yeah.

3831
02:48:29,680 --> 02:48:31,959
Speaker 2: But right now there's I think only two four to

3832
02:48:32,040 --> 02:48:34,399
oh teams in basketball, and it sit thunder in the Spurs.

3833
02:48:34,440 --> 02:48:36,680
Speaker 1: I think y'all really, y'all really should look at the

3834
02:48:36,680 --> 02:48:39,040
Spurs schedule. They're not gonna lose in time. All right,

3835
02:48:39,040 --> 02:48:43,360
we're not talking about the Spurs. Rockets. You did not

3836
02:48:43,479 --> 02:48:46,000
bring the Spurs up at all, you did you? We

3837
02:48:46,079 --> 02:48:49,479
talked about them before I got here. Then you've opened

3838
02:48:49,559 --> 02:48:51,239
up with them. You you started this.

3839
02:48:51,600 --> 02:48:56,120
Speaker 3: God all right? Uh, Tarry Easton, you're gonna tell you

3840
02:48:56,280 --> 02:48:56,840
saw this too.

3841
02:48:56,920 --> 02:48:57,040
Speaker 7: Right.

3842
02:48:57,079 --> 02:48:58,920
Speaker 3: There are people like, oh, tar Easton shouldn't have bet

3843
02:48:59,000 --> 02:49:01,600
on himself two games in. He's been horrible. Like give

3844
02:49:01,639 --> 02:49:04,000
it some time, folks like he he had the now

3845
02:49:04,079 --> 02:49:06,319
of course again we'll say qualify it was the Nets,

3846
02:49:06,360 --> 02:49:08,920
but a nice breakout game from Tarusaw and he looked.

3847
02:49:08,719 --> 02:49:10,600
Speaker 1: Awful against the Pistons if we're gonna keep it up,

3848
02:49:10,600 --> 02:49:13,600
but he did. And they're you know why the Pistons

3849
02:49:13,639 --> 02:49:18,200
played Rockets basketball, especially defensively. They're physical, they get after you.

3850
02:49:19,799 --> 02:49:24,600
Was it Jaron Duran was trying to before he takes. Yeah,

3851
02:49:25,399 --> 02:49:28,360
that's what they do. And the Rockets fell into that

3852
02:49:28,440 --> 02:49:30,879
trap the other night. The Brooklyn Nets do not play defense.

3853
02:49:31,040 --> 02:49:33,040
They don't do they don't play I mean it.

3854
02:49:33,120 --> 02:49:35,159
Speaker 3: Was like, I mean they do a little hero balls,

3855
02:49:35,159 --> 02:49:36,959
Little Terrence Man and Michael Porter junior.

3856
02:49:37,000 --> 02:49:40,319
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch Can Thomas scores forty on your Spurs.

3857
02:49:40,479 --> 02:49:41,959
That's what I'm gonna start calling them. By the way,

3858
02:49:42,120 --> 02:49:44,920
my god, your Spurs comes in last night. He's got

3859
02:49:44,920 --> 02:49:47,840
like two points and a half time. He was He's brutal.

3860
02:49:48,120 --> 02:49:50,600
They're so bad. They reminded me to get you some help.

3861
02:49:50,719 --> 02:49:52,920
They reminded me of the Rockets like four or five

3862
02:49:53,000 --> 02:49:56,280
years ago. They're all nineteen and they're gonna win twenty games.

3863
02:49:56,799 --> 02:49:59,920
The Spurs yet, No, the Brooklyn Nets. Okay, the Brooklyn Nets,

3864
02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:02,719
I said, bad. You have their twenty seven pick. I

3865
02:50:02,799 --> 02:50:03,959
believe that's.

3866
02:50:03,799 --> 02:50:05,399
Speaker 2: Gonna be a good pick. Do you have their under

3867
02:50:05,600 --> 02:50:07,920
you have their unprotected pick? Yeah, this next year. I

3868
02:50:08,200 --> 02:50:09,079
thought it was twenty six.

3869
02:50:09,719 --> 02:50:10,600
Speaker 1: You might you might be right.

3870
02:50:10,680 --> 02:50:12,319
Speaker 3: I was reading that on the twitter verse. It must

3871
02:50:12,360 --> 02:50:15,120
be true. Wow, I think they have their unprotected pick

3872
02:50:15,200 --> 02:50:15,719
this next year.

3873
02:50:16,600 --> 02:50:19,760
Speaker 1: And I mean you did that. You got Yeah, I know,

3874
02:50:19,840 --> 02:50:22,360
you got Kevin Durant. It would be great if they

3875
02:50:22,399 --> 02:50:25,440
got the number one pick this year. Who's it supposed

3876
02:50:25,440 --> 02:50:27,600
to be? I don't know, we know, Okay, I'm just saying,

3877
02:50:27,760 --> 02:50:30,760
like the MAVs and the Spurs and consecutive seasons getting

3878
02:50:30,760 --> 02:50:36,079
the number one pick. Oh okay, okay, NBA, all right,

3879
02:50:36,280 --> 02:50:39,360
are you you're going conspiracy guy? How's that gambling? How's

3880
02:50:39,360 --> 02:50:42,239
that gambling bust involving the mafia going Adam Silver?

3881
02:50:43,079 --> 02:50:43,440
Speaker 4: Hmmmm?

3882
02:50:44,000 --> 02:50:48,479
Speaker 1: Not great. I mean they traded Luca in probably the

3883
02:50:48,719 --> 02:50:52,559
worst trade since they traded Brunson, by the way, don't

3884
02:50:52,559 --> 02:50:54,920
forget they did that. They've just hand delivered him to

3885
02:50:54,920 --> 02:50:55,360
the Knicks.

3886
02:50:55,559 --> 02:50:56,000
Speaker 2: That's true.

3887
02:50:56,200 --> 02:50:58,200
Speaker 1: I think it was Nico Harrison that did that deal too,

3888
02:50:59,120 --> 02:51:01,879
and they they just hand Luca to the Lakers maybe

3889
02:51:02,159 --> 02:51:04,239
and then they get the number one pick magically a

3890
02:51:04,280 --> 02:51:06,200
few months later. They don't deserve that.

3891
02:51:06,680 --> 02:51:09,680
Speaker 2: Aj de Bunt, that's the guy that went to went

3892
02:51:09,719 --> 02:51:12,520
to BUYU for projected number one, projected number one.

3893
02:51:12,959 --> 02:51:16,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just all I'm saying is the Rockets did

3894
02:51:16,959 --> 02:51:19,879
things the right way. They methodically built this thing up,

3895
02:51:20,040 --> 02:51:23,319
never with the actual number one pick, projected number four pick.

3896
02:51:24,239 --> 02:51:29,840
Duke power forward Cameron Boozer, Carlos's son. Yes, yeah, I'm good.

3897
02:51:30,479 --> 02:51:33,440
I don't need a Boozer on the Rockets. Well, for one,

3898
02:51:33,479 --> 02:51:37,239
he played for the Jazz and for two, man, it's

3899
02:51:37,280 --> 02:51:39,920
all good. He did what now he duped a blind

3900
02:51:40,040 --> 02:51:45,239
man back in the day he saw his contract negotiation

3901
02:51:45,399 --> 02:51:46,959
with the I think it was the Caves at the time.

3902
02:51:47,360 --> 02:51:49,399
This was before the guy that did the comic sans

3903
02:51:49,440 --> 02:51:53,319
font statement that owned it. Yeah, doesn't he still own

3904
02:51:53,319 --> 02:51:54,760
the Cats? Yes? I think this was the guy that

3905
02:51:54,799 --> 02:51:57,399
preceded him. He was blind and Carlos Boozer lied to

3906
02:51:57,520 --> 02:52:01,920
him about whatever what something involving the contract negotiations.

3907
02:52:02,000 --> 02:52:05,040
Speaker 2: All right, so the Rockets. He's a bad person. How

3908
02:52:05,159 --> 02:52:08,639
impressed were you by Reed Shepherd's fifteen point per four.

3909
02:52:08,799 --> 02:52:10,959
Speaker 1: He's fine, He's fine.

3910
02:52:11,319 --> 02:52:13,399
Speaker 3: Number three picks in that drift six of eleven three

3911
02:52:13,440 --> 02:52:16,319
to seven from three eight assists only two turnovers for

3912
02:52:16,399 --> 02:52:16,920
reed Shepherd.

3913
02:52:16,959 --> 02:52:17,879
Speaker 2: That was nice to see as well.

3914
02:52:18,040 --> 02:52:20,200
Speaker 1: When we get top three picks, we get Reed Shepherd

3915
02:52:20,239 --> 02:52:22,760
and Jalen Green. When they get the top three pick,

3916
02:52:22,799 --> 02:52:25,000
they get the number one pick and a transitional player.

3917
02:52:25,079 --> 02:52:28,079
Transcendent player. We had to take a minute. Number four.

3918
02:52:28,600 --> 02:52:31,000
I know a men's great, he is great. Wouldn't trade

3919
02:52:31,040 --> 02:52:31,600
him for Wimby?

3920
02:52:32,239 --> 02:52:35,680
Speaker 2: Well, you are the thirty out of thirty general managers

3921
02:52:35,680 --> 02:52:36,479
would disagree with me.

3922
02:52:36,600 --> 02:52:38,879
Speaker 1: But ten years from now and when a men Thompson's

3923
02:52:38,879 --> 02:52:41,000
still playing and Victor Wimen yama is on the beach

3924
02:52:41,280 --> 02:52:43,360
because his body failed him. You'll see.

3925
02:52:43,479 --> 02:52:46,399
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of sports talk radio. Eventually we find

3926
02:52:46,440 --> 02:52:49,559
out how it goes, and he could break down very well.

3927
02:52:49,879 --> 02:52:51,840
Speaker 1: Right now? How much? Right now he's the odds on

3928
02:52:51,879 --> 02:52:54,959
favorite to win NBA MVP. How many segments do you

3929
02:52:55,000 --> 02:52:56,520
