2:27Hey, Matt. Hi, Ross. How's it going? Hey, it's, hey, um, kudos to you. Uh, I put on the I heart radio at a handful of times yesterday, you're on every single time. It's Ross Talk 790. It was, it was indeed Ross Talk 790. Thank you, Matt. I appreciate that. I calculated in the 24 hour period, if you, if you give me the grace of 1150 rather than starting at midnight with the overtime post game, I was on air for seven hours yesterday. We're okay. And, and you're, please tell me you're not working rockets tonight. I am not. You know what? Shout out Cole Thompson. He comes out to these things. He doesn't need to be at. He's helping out. He's social media tweeting. He literally just, uh, I forgot to bring in the comics because I'm just blurry eyed and tired. I forgot to bring in. It's called our access machine so that we can do remote equipment and he grabbed it for Dan. He went to, he literally just went to my car to grab it. Cole's the man. I appreciate him. And, uh, yeah, I'm feeling better. Feeling good.

3:28Yeah. Yeah. Gonna make it. Uh, so great job by you yesterday. Uh, and frankly, it's not been an easy time to be a Houston sports fan. God, the two on a day to do a double dip post game. That was, that was a doozy. Let me put it that way. Yeah. Okay. So let's go through my last 72 hours of the rockets lose to the bulls. It was fun. Then, uh, we fly to Minnesota where the rockets get down double digits in the game against Minnesota and put together this amazing, I mean, amazing, what was a 26 to 2 come back some, some sort when you take the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. Well. And then the overtime. Yeah. 13 to 2 run at the end of the fourth and then 13 oh at the beginning of overtime. We don't have to talk about what happened after that. So that's 26 for the good guys, two for the bad guys, right? Is my math is correct.

4:29Yes. Then the wolves score the last 15. Yes. 15. With 13 oh, pendulum swung the entire other way, 15 oh. It's never happy to be a history. Then you go look at social media where every basketball account that you either follow or you go to your for you tab has the highlights of this and the credit implications of a team that had a 13 point overtime lead and lost it. And not as read had been ejected and Rudy go bear had been had been, uh, have found out. Yes. I wonder if, you know, Nazari for those of you who don't know is a six man from Minnesota. Scott Foster was on the call yesterday, by the way, the two minute report did not do them any good. They had six missed calls in the two minute report and overtime six. All right. So Nazari gets ejected.

5:29Now usually if you get ejected from an NBA game, you have to get two technical files. But sometimes you say something so spicy that they can toss your ass after one. Basically the pool report where the reporter goes to talk to the official audiences, what did you toss Nazari after one? He attacked the my integrity of the game, meaning basically he put Nazari and said, what are they buying you off basically? So just put that in perspective. If you tell an official that you think you're on the take, then you're going to get your ass thrown out of the game. And it's kind of sensitive because one of Scott Foster's good buddies, 20 years ago, was Tim Donahine, who we know was on the take for throwing games and made hundreds of phone calls to Scott Foster. Most of them under two minutes. Correct. For example, you know what'd be an under two minute call met? If I called you and said, uh, Rockets plus the three and a half. Thanks. Yes.

6:30Or did you butt down me, which I do. I think I butt down you about once every two weeks. Yeah. And for that, I'm sorry. It worries me every time. I'm like, Oh, what did I do? No, no, no, it's good. That's good. So I need to apologize for butt downing you so much in 1130 today. Okay. Good. So let's fast forward. Let's then jump on a plane and go from Minneapolis to who I am right now in Memphis, Tennessee, where I get to listen to a little bit of the Astros game and I'm waiting for a hit. I'm waiting for multiple hits. I don't know Ross. I'm waiting for runs, a run, something. I got a hundred browns pitch count really elevated after the first game of the season, which is. Yeah. It was lighting up like a pinball machine. Yeah. I mean, that was just the number was too high for me, but that's not the here nor there. Yeah. At one point, it was pacing with the 5050 jackpot at Dijk and Park. How was the crowd by the way? Full. Great. Yeah. I mean, there was some pockets of emptiness.

7:30It was a build as a sell out and I mean, there was a few stray empty seats here or there, but it wasn't like, you know, a rocket sell out or anything. So the Astros are held to three hits. Nobody scored and you know what? There's one on one 62. So I put the 10th inning on 41 329, by the way, good. Yeah. Nice crowd. So I listened to 10th inning show a little before we dinner and you had some interesting calls already talking to chemistry issues. The team's got no chemistry. Now when you say, okay, they need Alex Breggman, but they need Kyle Tucker for chemistry. Yeah. I think at this point, the people are just trying to troll. So I'm my troll meter is a little higher on some of these. No, I think that guy was, I will say not all there. Yeah. Yeah. And you had the one guy that called, was it, yeah, there was just a lot of one game in the season. Talk with oh, no, it was Joe spot and meets the rally. The guys in the dugout, yeah, yeah, or call timeouts to go rally to you know, talking

8:34between. And what? All right. So I got past that. Look, it's one of 162. I'm a baseball fan, but I'm a sportscaster. I've been to these wars 30 years covering this team. So I'm good. Then I go have a nice Italian dinner. You're like, Matt, you're eating Italian Memphis. You know, I'm trying to explore different things on the road. Okay. Yeah. It's being possible right now too. So that's a good call. No, we went to a, we went to a very, it was called Catherine and Mary's. It was a very, very she she Italian place. We keep using this word she she and I understand. I think we argued about, okay, Jonathan, do you know what she she means? Not at all. Okay. I did. I made a board. No, we Google that now was, it was, it's, it's a phrase. I just had never heard of it. Yeah. A bougie. Yeah. Gurly, not girly, but just kind of, not a man. I mean, you're not getting in there and getting it, you know, you're, you're forking knife and cutting everything up a big chicken par. I mean, you're, we were having small plates as the kids would say. Uh, she she is a common word in Hawaii for, to go pee.

9:39All right. Okay. Maybe I should change the terminology. A, uh, hoidi toidi. How about, it's casual Hawaiian Creole term for North, what? Okay, what can we move on from this? Oh, I'm sorry. There we go. Okay, we're good. Sorry. Once you go, go look up a urban dictionary is a version of hoidi toidi. If you can even spell it. I don't think it's a word before. So we're getting close to tip time. And I'm like, I cannot watch a basketball game. I mean, I can't watch it on my phone, but I refer not to, like, to get to a big screen. Instead, so we left this hoidi toidi restaurant in Memphis and went to a bar down the street called, uh, uh, rod, not, I was going to say, rod dog, but that's not, that's actually not it at all. You went to a rod dog, huh? Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What do you do there? No, no, no, no. I'm even a polygenic that I even said it. I got a thing of it. Uh, I don't know, I lost track of it. But point of it, it was just, it was a bar dog tamer. It was called bar dog bar dog bar dog.

10:40And so we went downstairs, there's two floors, we went downstairs and I had a big screen TV to myself. Beautiful. about seven or eight people and they want to talk to me. And I don't really want to talk. Oh, man, when you're having a game before. Oh, you're really invested in, and then everybody just wants to chat and have drinks and you go, I know. Yes, yes. That's what I felt like a douche because I just didn't want to talk. No, it's not your fault. But I will say it's maybe a little your fault in that if you know if it's a big game that you want to be invested in, like when it's longhorn games and people are like, hey, let's go out, let's go do this. I'm like, I want to be at home screaming at the TV, throwing my couch pillows on the ground when I get angry and making a fool of myself and rather than not doing it in a public and socializing. So of the group, they're trying to talk to me and I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm watching three pointers being missed on a regular here. I needed to focus on this, it was not off. I think a hundred browns pitch count was higher than the points scored in that game.

11:41Okay, enough of this from you. So then at halftime, they're like, Matt, they're gonna rally. The Cougar defense has been good. I'm like, brah, we can't shoot. So one of the guys says, I'm gonna prove it to you how much faith I have. The guy made a $250 halftime bet on the game. It's gonna show it to me. Well, they had all the momentum going into half. Yeah, they did the shot to end the half to get it within two, right? Yeah. Into the second half, happened with actually shot better. They did, but so did Illinois, frankly. Yeah. So did team USSR. So a 24-22 halftime game, which obviously set college basketball back 50 years, because you're supposed to score one point. You'd like to get it per possession, but you can't always get that. You're not supposed to score one point per minute. It happens in college basketball. It does. And it's unfortunately happened to the Cougars. Yes.

12:42So now I've got is Kelvin going to retire. Is Chris Sennak going to come back, which I don't think he's going to. Kingston Fleming will be stupid to come back. He can be a top seven pick in the NBA. Definitely lottery pick. So that's my last handful of days. Your callers, the Astros, the Rockets, and my Cougars. Looking for excitement. Jumbokasino is here.

I wanted to play, it's the end of the world by all of you. I wanted to play that Johnny Cash sort. I wanted to hear Eric Carmen all by myself. Let me tell you something. Jonathan, I want you to play all by myself by Eric Carmen coming back. If this song doesn't put you in a professional depression, no song will. Okay, with some low lights. Yes. If we do have it. Ooh, we got angel. We got to make Toronto home run probably. Oh, yeah. We got to get into this. Can we please open the roof bit because if the roof would have been open, the ass was going to score the run, right, Rossi? No, Aaron Moose says the wind would have blown it in. Oh my God. All right, it isn't anything goes Friday here as we just explained to you here on the show. 713-212-579.

There were some strippers near our, where we were sitting at the bar last night. Yeah. Do you holla? I said hello. Oh, that's what I meant. Do you hello? I said hello. Is it me you're looking for? Oh, you didn't even mention, by the way, the fight in Texas Longhorns. That's a beat or two. Point set. It's fine. Tramon Mark was playing on one ankle and literally Jordan Pope played 33 minutes with a broken foot. I mean, that's insane. It is proud of the boys. You know, proud of the young men, sorry. Arizona destroyed. I mean, destroyed Arkansas. And then you and I went to Braska before the Cougars with the Braska

17:47playing with four players on a play. That was crazy. All right. Anything goes, 713-212-579. 713-212-579. I'm sorry, 1130. News at noon. And I'm sure a ridiculously peachy, happy, go lucky. E-Madoka is going to join us at 1 o'clock today. Woo! Let's go. Non-floor story is 130. Hell yeah, not 150. It's a mad Thomas O'Ross. This is sports talk 790. Janet's going to set a screen. Highland straightaway. Hands at two of the mid-court line near for Randall. Down to three. Down to two, slight pushoff, free throw jumper up and in. 15 straight for Minnesota. Time out of Houston. Those days are gone.

18:48Blue ball gets the sign. Oh, one pitch is driven to left. And that's going to get into the seats for a home run. Mike Trauta ties the score on a homer. And it's one nothing, Angel. Final seconds are going to tick off the block here in Houston. The fighting align I have got it. They have knocked off the cluggers on their old home turf here in Houston. Illinois marching on to the elite. And it won't. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. Uh. I couldn't find a clip of Craigway sobbing and doing a women's softball prep.

19:49So my god. All the kid out of Jenkins Jr. Hyde has led the pretty way to the victory. That's a huddle hippos three a state champion team. What do you think Eric Carmer was thinking back in the day? Can I write a song that's just going to put people in a horrific mood for the rest of their lives? Uh, while ripping off Sergei rock money enough. That's why you're the official music historian of the Matt Thomas show Ross. I try, I try. We were done a fantasy five of most depressing songs of all time. I believe we did and I I'll tell you I law and I'm you know what I'm pissed off still. Now that you brought you thank you for bringing this up and making me retroactively pissed off. I had the better list, but I accidentally said that Johnny Cash hurt song. It's from nine inch nails. And I accidentally said Nirvana. Okay. They were both 90s bands. It's start with the word in. So I just misspoke. I mean, letter in. Uh, so I misspoke and two people voted against me

20:50because I accidentally said the wrong man. Ross, it was nine inch nails. I'm voting for Matt. Shut your bum ass up. I didn't realize we had such a nine inch nails. Uh, enthusiast. Oh man, there's you better watch out. Better not say anything bad about Trent Rezner. You're gonna come after you. Yeah, uh, yeah, I feel like we've done that before. I feel like if there's if there's if I ever actually did. We did. You had I believe all by myself. I had her. I can't remember what else. Oh, I think I had ain't no sunshine by Bill withers. Oh, Bill withers. Great song. I had a garden. You know, I'm pissed. Thanks. Long horns are out. Cougars are disappointing again. Astros are all for seven with runners in scoring position. And the rocket just had literally literally the worst overtime. Come back. They gave up in NBA history. Do you realize?

21:50And so then the play by play area only to 97. But still 13. Oh, there had not been a 10 point lead given up it over time. People Rossi, I mentioned this on the broadcast. People were leaving the the target center. Leaving. Yeah, mass Exodus. I mean, it was a 99.7% win probability. So sad. That feels a lot better than what we opened the show with. That feels way more right. That was actually appropriate. Now, I know John the tried to do because about like shout out to him for finding an Adam Clayton a singer in the open of the show. Let me guess. When you guys did the show yesterday from. I can park everything else. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. No, where it wasn't like that. It was all pretty. We're all pretty. It's opening day. You can be chipper and yeah, hopeful on opening day.

22:52And then that also being happy for the ass shows. Let's not talk about the rockets. Yes. We talked about the rockets. I love that that happened right after opening day. Because maybe we talked for under five minutes for four hours. That's actually quite an accomplishment. Yeah. And you know what? The on floor on court stuff hasn't been great. But I do want to thank everybody that came out. We saw a bunch of people. We met a bunch of fans. People were taking pictures. We're out there kissing babies and stuff. It was a great fun opening day until the game started. Do we know if Ted Cruz appeared to any one of the two games yesterday? I think I read he was in a tour. He went from Minneapolis to Houston. Yes. Is he here tonight by any chance? If not, I'm going to have to have him escorted out of the building. You better watch out, Matt. People are going to come back to you on Twitter. Like the last time you said that you made a Ted Cruz joke. Again, I don't care about the politics. I just, if you get bad juju, you get bad juju. Look, what can we, who can we bring here to Memphis for good luck?

23:53Who can the Astros put in the building tonight for good luck? Did the Mitra ball land you? You Darvish? Certainly. It was cool. Yeah. Yeah, it's got to be you, Darvish. That's Kakuji. He's going to give a home run. Remember, he used to do that when he wasn't an Astro. He gives up home runs and minute made or sorry, dyken. Boy, I was minute made when he was doing it. That's right. All right. Anything goes Friday. Would you like to add to our depression? Come on in. Why don't you bring, you know what? It's funny because we in radio say, hey, come lift the show up. Bring it up. Let's go. Yeah. What do you got positive? No, no, no. We're going to reverse it. We're going to bring this down to an epically low level. Okay. Hey, friends. Yeah. Do you guys want to deep dive in the order's Buffalo Bills game? Oh, God. Don't do this. Hey, could we talk about the 83 championship game between North Carolina and Austin? Don't do this. Hey. How about we go find the highlight of Damien Lillard hitting the shot against the rockets? Let's talk about Houston traffic on I-10.

24:53Also, about the wait times at Intercontinental Airport. Apparently, did I hear correctly the shutdowns over? Yeah. He's going to start paying them. So that's good. TSA agents, if you're looking for work, you've got it now. Please go. Money on. Thank you. Hey, let's talk about my 401K. Hey, let's talk about some gas prices. Yeah. How's that doing? I don't know. Would you fill up lately? You don't ever fill up to you. How about once a month? You suck. 713-212-5790. I hate you. Wow. Really? Well, how much do you fill up? Once a week, maybe sometimes once every six days. Okay. That's not that much more. I mean, I live in the city and I purposely moved as close as possible to this office. Hmm. Blessed. 713-212-5790. 713-212-5790. To anything goes Friday. Matt in Memphis, Ross in Houston. You. Thank you very much for listening to Sports Talk 790. 1034. Matt in Ross tonight.

We've got E-May Doca Rockets coach to join us today at 1 p.m. 713-212-5790, we'll start with Trevor on the mat, Thomas Schoel, Ross Trevor, thanks

28:57for holding a good morning. Hey, good morning to you. I just wanted to point out a couple things. One, I think bringing in you, Darvish, for the second game of the year of the guest might be a bad idea, 2012, almost a perfect game until the last out with that ball that went through his legs from Marwing Gonzalez might pick a different guy. But one thing I wanted to point out was, there's been a lot of talk about Esauk and where does he fit on this team? I feel like even though yesterday didn't go as planned, how amazing is it though that we get to plug in somebody that's kind of find it bats, whether it's Peña, he's struggling with a little bit of an injury. Areas had an injury passed, out to base, aging, hopefully Yordon can play some left. There's been so many calls recently about, where are we going to find time for this guy? Does this not kind of feel like something that's going to sort itself out? I don't know. I just wanted to point out the Darvish deal, but yesterday was a bummer, but I'm excited to see if the line could bring. I just wanted to say, hey, enjoy your Friday over there. Thanks very much to the phone call.

30:00If you had a loaded outfield that had corner positions that had success, you probably would be feeling extraordinarily good about the situation. But what you have in a surplus in one category, you have a lack of depth and experience and success at the other. And so now, if somebody wants to take the reins and left field, Ross, if Joel Perfito wants to be that guy, to hit yesterday, he did have to hit yesterday, and if Cam Smith wants to be that guy, and Jake Mirens continues to be with Jake Mirens, typically has been over his major league career, then you ain't sweatin' it. But you are sweatin' it at this point, until some, unless those guys that just brought up, all of a sudden become full-fledged major league guys that you would pencil in your start line up every single day and not feel bad about it, not just like feel bad, but feel confident they're going to produce for you more times than not. Yeah, it's, maybe it'll figure itself out. We'll see, but Jeremy Paine, probably with, we had a, we had a, a bevy of great guests

31:05yesterday. Brian McTaggart said, probably it'll be the first week of the season. He's kind of yo-yoing in the line up, and then he'll be established. So we'll see what goes on. Injuries can happen. As the caller mentioned, I think they do, they don't want Jose Altuve to play as much as he did last year. He played, what was it, 155 games or something crazy like that? Because of all the injuries. So they want to get him off of his feet and we're just going to see how it plays out. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't want the first 10 games to be indicative of what's going to happen for the next 152, but that's how baseball fans are. That's how some people are in line. I mean, oh, short sample sizes don't really matter, according to a touch and go crazy sports fans. You know what's crazy though? It's most, for example, most people who are die-hard. Sports fans, you don't become a die-hard overnight. Generally, a lot of us have been watching sports since we were kids. We know that they're up and down into 82 game season and 162 game season and yet we still

32:06overreact and I'm guilty of it as well to an extent, but there are some people out there who just like their hair is on fire for like three straight losses. Yeah, let's put it this way. We are a radio show and I'll just use us as compared to the others on our station. That we do invite people to calling because it's part of the fun of the show as we are a community. So if you are someone that is with the ebbs and flows of something, you're probably not going to call and react and say, hey guys, it's early, I'm not worried about it. Talk to y'all in 50 games. Yeah. I think I got a couple of those, something, a couple, but not very often, but typically but if you are enraged or you are emotional one side of the other, you're going to call and react to it. So what we're getting is Twitter, which is completely reactionary 24-7, adding calls to it when we do get them. So we're getting a vibe from people that are going to not have the patience one way the other. When Bryce Matthews hit, did he have a, did he have a two home run game early in his career

33:07or something like where he was so awesome that everyone's like, you got to make sure this, you know, move out to Bay and make Bryce Matthews a full time second base. Yeah, I want to say for somebody's Arizona's popping in my mind or something, I don't remember exactly. He had, he had one game where he just was unbelievable. So it's a byproduct of what we do for living and how this show is created. Yeah, two home run games against Arizona. Yeah. And then the next game he had a home run, he had three home runs and two games with seven runs batted in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So if you went off of that, you're like, Jose El Tuve, we love you, you're the greatest actor of all time. Goodbye. And then Bryce Matthews regressed to what he was, which was in fact so bad that he didn't finish up the season with the Astros. So I will just say this show, social media, lends itself to quicker reactions than I would think most of the fans are, but I'll tell you what, I go to the barbershop, barbershop same way, Ross, I don't know if you, when you, you don't go very often, but I get my

34:10shame and their reaction or the barbershop is the OG of overreactions. Don't you think? I would say so. I don't, there's only one, it's, when I go get my beard trimmed, it's just one guy. It's just me and him. You talked to him? Yeah, a little bit. So I like to close my eyes. Yeah, I like to relax, I mean, but it's me and him in there, if I'm like, he's talking to me and I'm not saying anything, that's weird. Oh, that is, yeah. The only one way. No, it's fine. He's not super chatty, which I like, I like chatting this out of a 10. He's probably like a three and I like that. Not a one is zero, but three is good. I have two barbers that I go to on a regular basis, I rotate. One I hardly speak to and I like it and sometimes the other person who's like to talk a lot and I like to talk and I don't mind talking to him. So it's, I get a balance if, if you, if you will. But yeah, I don't know. I, I, I just think that our, our industry, don't we do for daily is going to lend itself

35:14to that segment of the population that just can't tell you fast enough how bad or how good things are right away. I think most people are not that way, because man, you would want to be, if you are, if you're wiggling out after one loss, health, the Astros lose all four games against angels. It's telling the other world, let me great, we'll have ails on next Monday for sure. How are we feeling about them hitting coaches? Oh, Lord, don't get, don't get them involved. Let those, let those men have lived their lives. They're even selling those leases here on their apartments. Yes, they did. John on seven out of the good morning. Hey, good morning, man. How are you? Good. Oh, anyway, well, it's, we're hanging in there. I'll tell you what after that game was that it's just, you know, the thing about it is, this team all year, and I've followed them a lot. I've watched a lot more Coach Vespoly, since we're back in our glory days with the

36:14coaches, but it was, this team was as good as last year's team, obviously, you know, they don't have post-play, I mean, they just, it's, they get two freshmen playing, you know, anytime they went up against the lead competition, they lost quite frankly, you know, they lost Arizona, they lost to Kansas, they lost, I would say, and this, this one Illinois team is a great team. They, and it was a bad matchup, you know, they're big, you know, older guys, they're, you know, they had 23, 24 year olds, and you know, we got young guys who I don't really think are ready for the NBA, and I, Cinnick is definitely not, in my opinion, and he should come back for another year. But, you know, it's, I think, the only disappointed thing is you, I kept thinking about last year, you know, and it's like, oh, my God, we missed it, we missed our window. And that's kind of really all I got to say, it's just, I was, you know, I'm really happy for the school and the program, how it's come, and how, you know, and what Samson's done, but it's just, you know, think about it, how many sweet 16s in a row is it five?

37:17It's just incredible. So what, you know, so it's kind of, you know, it's bittersweet, right, so, but, you know, we'll see how it goes next year. How long do you think Samson's going to coach still, by the way? I don't think he's going to retire, but again, that's one person's opinion. And why, actually, if I'm sure his wife will be involved as well, he could change that on a dime. I mean, he could say, look, I'm losing my two all, all star freshmen. This portal is a mess. The NIL is a big thing. I'm 70 years old. I can make some decent money being consultant for U of H. I can give Kellyn his son the opportunity. I mean, he called the program broke. Well, he walked that back. Yeah, but for that to come out of his mouth, I mean, maybe he's not happy with the situation financially. I think he would like to be a little more cash flush, as would, I mean, you know, you heard, remember, we talked about this earlier in the week, Mick Cronin, you say, like, coach, what was asked, how do you improve things?

38:20He goes about five million dollars. I don't, maybe, maybe it's in every coach's DNA when they get money and they just want more of it immediately. Just like the rest of us do. Yeah, it's everybody. You got to raise it work. 10%. Oh, that's looking for 15. Yeah. We've got a pony up them checks, Maddie. I know you're you're freeing up some club volleyball checks. So you're good. I got one month of free volleyball. The thing we play. We're going to Reno. You know, my husband has a lot of Reno. Well, she's already got the, didn't she sign the letter of intent? Yes. But that's just for club. One more month of club. Yeah. Great one, ankle spring. Hey, wink, wink. I'm not wishing injury. I'm saying that's what she has. I'm not saying I'm wishing she's hurt. Oh, okay. All right. Relax. I don't want you to wish it. Don't put that in. Hey, take the check back. Take the check back. Take the check back. Great one, ankle spring. We're saying it's circus, circus too. I mean, circus, circus.

39:20Oh, God. You know, the, the volleyball. Is that like the partnered hotel? Well, they, yeah. They set up hotels based on the teams and they said, you're staying. So, my wife said, y'all are a bunch of clowns. That's rude. I said, I said, Cam and Carla. I said, we cannot stay at circus. Circus, circus. I have a certain level of expert of acceptance of hotels. But dad, all of our team will be there. I'm like, I don't want to stay there. It gives like, the daughter wants to stay there. We'll stay there. They have sweet to the circus. Circus. I feel like I'm in sweet. That's great. Yeah. I'm so sorry. Yeah. The bearded lady does your turn down service. The guy on stilts is the concierge. I'm not taking any photos of that, by the way. You will, you will not see me. Yeah. Don't take photos of your, of your maid in the hotel. 713-212-5797-13212-5790. It's an anything goes Friday here on the program.

40:20I'm sorry. It's coming up in 30 minutes. More of you next. Cougar Depression. Rocket Depression. Astero Depression. We're here for you. Sports Talks, 790. There's anything goes Friday. Really quick, if I go back on the phone's Ross, I need a ruling from you. All right. More not ruling, but like advice. We're going to get to New Orleans about my guess is... 130 in the morning, maybe. All right. That's just in time to hit Bourbon Street. Should I go to Caesar's at 130 for the late night? No. Okay. On a Friday? Limits can be high. They got that continuous shuffle too. The beginning of a Saturday morning is going to be high. I guess so. There's only a handful of places very small, considering it is. Yeah. The book is huge, by the way. Great place to watch and college hoops are tomorrow for a Saturday for sure. Make sure they don't require a table service. It was stay away. How is the Iowa game with Illinois going to be in the Toyota

41:21Center on Saturday? I believe, yeah. Apparently the price is die bombed, which I guess... Well, the question popped in my head, so I'm going to ask it. Do you feel a little worse? Because if you got past Illinois, then Iowa was very beatable. Even though I mean Iowa's earned it, but Illinois's six-and-a-half point favorites over Iowa. I mean, I think if you get to the sweet... If you get to the league day, you've done something right. Yeah. You're winning games. I would... No, I would not... I don't feel especially worse. I feel bad that we've lost. Okay. I feel bad that we allowed so many offensive rebounds. I feel that we couldn't hit the broad side of a barn for about 34 minutes. I'm sorry. That game took years off of college basketball's life. Forget about my life. College basketball's life. That was a trotious hitting. Or lack theory of hitting of shots. Brick. Brick. Brick. I'm sorry, Matt. I mean, it's fine. I mean, it's what it is. Last year, honestly, to me,

42:23last year hurts 500 times more than yesterday. Yeah, you get your points back now. Yeah, I did put the points back in. I was looking at hotels and Indianapolis yesterday just to kind of get myself the juices flowing a little bit and should never have done that. Yeah. Anything goes Friday. Jake on 7-9 in 1054, Jake. Good morning to you. Hey, Matt. Just letting you know that circus circus is a depressing hotel. But it has a great steakhouse called the steakhouse. So if you stay there, that's a recommendation to have a great dinner while you're at circus circus. Enjoy your drink. That's in Vegas, though. This is, I'm talking about Reno. You talk about Reno and Vegas. Oh, good grief. OK. I came in halfway. Sorry. I just understood what you were looking for there. I think they have a sizzler. I believe they have a mold of morale there that will be able to get a chocolate fountain all

43:24I can eat, Jake. Thanks for the phone call. Rossi, I actually heard that more of our listeners that circus circus in Vegas, which you and I will be going to this summer. We should go there and eat dinner, because apparently the steakhouse is fantastic. Is that different than Morton's these steak? I'm sorry. Borton's these steakhouse? Or is it... Or malt mill? I don't know. Ah, yeah. Now, the only way I'm not going to Reno is if the rockets go to the second round of the playoffs, then I'll be skipping that trip. Don't shut up. Don't even speak to this. Don't even. I don't even want to air from you. I can hear you cackling. You're fine. Stop. You're fine. Playoffs start today. It's rockets, Lakers, and Los Angeles. Ah. The rocket's going to beat the Lakers in the same game series. So then why are we... Why are we fretting then? Um...

44:25Hmm. I know. Fifteen. I don't want to be a championship or bust fan. And I don't, but... But, I mean, I don't think they're getting past the second round. Okay, so if we've had all this badness in the last 72 hours, we need to do something good, good. What are we going to get? What's the good news? Well, yeah. Uh, Joey Lopper Fido had a couple of good hits. All right. AJ Blueball was hitting 98.8 on the gun. He's looking like a boss out there. He now gave up, so the solo shot to Mike Trapp. Other than that, he was dealing. He looked very good. Jordan Alvarez should have had a home run. And you can't get much worse than 0 for 7 with runners in scoring positions, so they'll be better today. I personally guarantee... I personally guarantee the Astro score run today. Yeah, Christian Walker hard hit double.

45:26Yeah. Yeah. We got some positivity. It's one game. By the way, the game is on Rapple Revee, so if you don't have that, News Radio 740, KTRH, and then, of course, we'll have the Rockets here on Sports Talk 790. So, very simple. Rockets 790, Astro 740. It's that time of year where both are going, so just always look for 740 or 790, whichever one you're looking for. We will not have any Texas games or Houston games sadly. Yeah, we're all done with that. Iowa and Illinois, with about 5,000 people in the Toyota Center. I don't know. Maybe if you bought the whole session, you're going to go because you like college back. Oh, God. Big 10 basketball. Yeah, how many Hawkeye fans are there? I don't know. It seemed like there's a decent amount of Align High fans. A lot of Nebraska fans. Now, you were walking on the other end of downtown,

46:28so it would not be fair to say. But did you see anybody wearing Team Gear in and around a dyken park yesterday? No. Out of the schools? No, I didn't. I mean, I was... Yeah, we were in Street Fest, so that was basically all... You had to have a ticket to get in Street Fest. Okay. And then, when I walked out after post-game, it was like 730, so the games were going, or the first game was going. So, you got in your car, and you listened to Texas Purdue. Yes, I did, actually. Bench took the lead. Yes. I got all excited. You popped the top of the cold beverage of your choice. And you watched Purdue score basketball with 0.7 on the clock. Correct. Hmm. After the Astros lost, and you did post-game to like 1 o'clock in the morning with the Rockizzles in the Wolves. Mm-hmm. I wasn't that mad, though. As an 11 seed making the sweet 16, I really wasn't that mad, because I wanted to... I was rooting for them to win. Right. But, I didn't think they were going to win. It's better for my brackets, if Purdue will wins anyways. So, there were silver linings.

47:29All right. Let's give it the second hour of the show. I'm sorry it's coming up in a half an hour. All right. This is the Mac Thomas show, with Ross. Woo-hoo! It's so much fun. Yeah. Madden Ross, that anything goes Friday, 11.02 is our time. If you want to join the conversation, you may do so. It's 713-212. 5-797-1-3-212. 5-790. Just checked the 4U tab during the Braing Rossi. Which usually is dangerous. Like, the special ones would say, hey, I'm 53 years old. Am I hot? Well, of course you are. Darling, you are. I mean, it is what it is. But, when we move on. Those aren't in my 4U tab. What's in your 4U tab? Madden, why is my show... Am I hot for 53? I'm like, what? It's tailored for... Don't answer. Don't answer. You gotta stop liking this stuff, Madden. It's tailored for you. I get it. You know they can tell how long you hover over something.

48:30Who's they? The algorithm. They know if you look at a tweet for five seconds or three minutes and 15 seconds, they know. That's not right. So that's publicly... I'm saying they know. I'm saying they know. All right. A new Fox News poll. Find 72% of sports fans think major sporting events should be required to stay on free broadcast television not behind streaming paywalls. All right, sorry. I'm still recovering. Say that again. Hey, it's Cole Swindle. And when I spend 200 days a year rolling down the highway, the bus can start to feel smaller than a guitar case.

A new Fox News poll finds 72% of sports fans think that major sporting events should be required to stay on free broadcast television, not behind streaming paywalls. Okay. So the 28% are like, yeah, put it on Netflix 6 or something. That's weird. I'm surprised the number is as low as that is. Well, the number is probably they don't want a governmental intervention. I mean, so then moving on. I would like them on broadcast television, but I'm not going to say there's needs to be a law for it. Okay. Also, nearly 6 and 10 fans say they've skipped watching a game at least a few times in the past year because it was too expensive. Well, nearly half of the fans say they've skipped games because it was too difficult to find or access them. That feels about right. I wouldn't say 100%.

52:33I wouldn't even say 75, but I could see half the people that are perhaps limited by the amount of television they can watch and or pay for. You know, if you like the opener of the season between the Yankees and the Giants was on Netflix two days ago. If that games any SPN, where you can afford basic cable or basic satellite, you're watching it. If you can't afford to pay for Netflix, you're not watching it. So that's the risk these sports, these sports leagues are paying are taking and by and large they don't care. Because Netflix paid to have the very first game of the season. Do you know who doesn't care about your television viewing habits? The owners. They just don't care. They want the check. And the reality is this. These regional sports networks like the space cities and the other fan tools, they're all going away. They need to recoup that money somehow some way so they're doing it by having Rappl Riri and Rhett Ricks and Ramazon Rhyme.

53:34They're so ridiculous. Yeah, we've talked about this and it is interesting and it's becoming more and more on streaming services. How much are you going for the here and now and hurting yourself in the long term? In the short term, you're getting the cash. How much are you forfeiting long term growth of your product by making it more accessible? And maybe in five years, Ross, we will be accustomed to it, which my guess is we probably will. But I am an NBA aficionado. I love to watch basketball, even when my rockets aren't playing. Now I'm not a huge fan of Eastern conference teams, but I'm very curious about how the West is, especially with seating. I have to go look at the NBA calendar to see what games are on what channel. We've talked about this before too. And I think a lot of people aren't doing that like I'm doing it because they're not nearly as aficionados as I am, where if you are at a hotel

54:34and you're flipping around aren't trying to find something to watch, and the ESPN happens to be on there as an NBA game, okay, we'll just watch it. If there's a baseball game on TBS, okay, you watch it. But if there's a game on Apple TV tonight, it's the Astros. I mean, is anybody in Cleveland going to really try to figure out three different ways to connect to their television or to their phone to watch the Astros and the Angels play on Rapple Rewee? Yeah, I'm looking at the NBA calendar right now. There's no prime video or NBC or ESPN tonight? Because of the college basketball. On Friday? Yeah, that's just this weekend. Okay. This weekend only. All right. Because of the NCAA. I will say this. Not everybody's confused. I'm confused. But half of America's confused, Ross. We'll say more. Yeah, probably 80 percent. We're worst case. Half of America that's a sports fan is confused by all these changes. Yeah.

55:34And that's not good for the sport. What did you say again, short term game for long term? What? Uh, she's lack of growth. Or I can't remember the exact word I used. My brain. I'm tired. You worked a lot. Thank you. It was Ross Talk 7 out of yesterday. It was seven hours on air. It's fine. It's good. I'm happy. Best job in the world. It's seriously. It is. It is a great job.

Sal, good morning to you. Hey, good morning, Matt and Ross. Hey, uh, I just had a quick question for Ross mainly. Hey, uh, Ross, I wanted to get your opinion on your top five soccer workup kits that just came out recently. And then also have a question for you, Matt. Are you excited for the workup that's coming up in Houston? Yeah. That's the phone call. Ross, let's go to your question first.

56:34Okay. Great. I love it. Did you see the United States ones with the flowing stripes and the red flag? I mean, the flowing red stripes as of the American flag? I think they're amazing. I'll go look at it right now. Yeah, I put go, uh, USA World Cup kits. Okay. Let me go to Google first. I don't know. I mean, I don't know if I have a top five. The Mexico ones were cool.

Argentina with the Blue Stripes is always a classic and I'm honest, I don't know if I have a top five World Cup clips, but I'm going USA number one. Yeah, these Mexican ones are sharp for sure. All right, no, they want to sell me these kids, apparently. Well, duh. Where have you met a league that doesn't want to sell jerseys or any kind of competition? Yeah, they're, I mean, it's interesting. Yeah, I'm good. I like them. I think they're amazing. All right, so the question was, how interested am I in 1 to 10?

59:39Now, is he asking me for Team USA or is he asking me for the entire World Cup? Look at us both. USA Five? Everything else? Collectively three? Hmm. That's, okay. I mean, maybe a six on the, if it's USA, I mean, my guess is maybe you and I will be out about this summer, you know, bumping around and people wanting to go to, you know, hangouts and watch parties. And I kind of think if we do that kind of thing, I mean, for that, as far as going to the event, I have no interest in going at all. Should be fun. If you could get tickets to like a final or a semi final, you would be blown away. I don't think I could possibly argue with you about that, because it would be a bucket listing. It's the world's most incredible, it's the world's most, what is it? The world's most popular. Popular sporting event worldwide.

1:00:42I mean, as much as I don't like soccer as a sport, I'd be stupid to not acknowledge how popular it is, especially when it comes to the event of every four years. And the passion, especially outside of America because the prices of tickets are the most expensive here than anywhere else, and they're more affordable literally everywhere else. You get more regular passionate fans, and you get better environments. I mean, people talked about that at the WBC. How it was better than the WBC, better than any World Series environment in Diakin Park. Yeah, because at the World Series, you are paying six times what you would pay for a normal event. Yeah, you got wine and cheese crowd. So I mean, super balls don't have great environments. I mean, it just is what happens. Yeah, the Super Bowl games are nothing but corporate tickets to give away to national and regional advertisers of the NFS. Yeah, so I'm a Manchester City fan, and I saw it was like a year or two ago. They were literally the fan groups were protesting the price hikes. I was like, oh man, how much are these tickets? They were like 75 bucks. They were literally protesting outside the stadium,

1:01:45the price hikes. Do we know which teams are coming to United to Houston? Or do we not know that? Yes, we do. It is. Portugal's one of them. I'll go look it up. If you'd like me to. Are you going to go? Well, you haven't talked about this. Are you going to try to go to a game? No, it's too expensive. It's Portugal versus Curacao. Okay. I mean, sorry, Germany versus Curacao. Yeah. And Portugal versus there is a, well, the teams, there's like playing games basically. So Portugal versus a plan. Ooh, the Dutch. Versus some playing people. Portugal versus Uzbekistan. Cabo Verdi versus Saudi Arabia. And then they'll have a round of 32 game and a round of 16 game. So quarter final. Those might be pretty good. You'd be like a spring break in Houston all over again, summertime, Jonathan. So yeah, if you want to go find you,

I mean, you get... There are two guys at ESPN that work more than anybody else.

1:05:49It's Dana Lovsky and Kendrick Perkins. Oh, really? I'll take your word for it. I don't know. You know, you're a better man for not watching it. You just don't... I don't. But I'm in a hotel. I understand. I'm in Memphis. I know. I gotta catch up on things. I know. You're waiting for Judge Mathis to come on, something on. So today, shut up. So today, for Shake was, let's... They were talking about the Arizona game against Arkansas. Now, do you think Stephen A Smith has any idea about either one of the teams with any of the players? No. Of course not. So what did he do instead of talking about how awesome Arizona is? Which, by the way, Arizona is a legitimate title-containing team. That's the team I have winning the whole thing. Yeah, sorry, Willie. So, you're throwing me off here a lot. So, it was... Stephen A, your thoughts about this game? I'm telling you, John Calipari has all these players... What are you talking about John Calipari?

1:06:49Have you been to a Final Force in 2005? He was like, what can I do to scream in Yale for three minutes and not talk about just how good Arizona is? And let's just go for something that we do know. Somebody he has a history with, or at least, you know, has been around college basketball a long time. That's, of course, John Calipari. John Calipari, they're not maddies at Arkansas. They like him. They just do. And even really realistic Arkansas fans knew they had no chance of winning. Arizona was better on paper. They were better when they tipped off. And they certainly were better when the buzzer went off last night. No shame for Arkansas was in Arizona. You just weren't as good. So, instead of talking about how great Arizona was, it was an indictment against John Calipari. Yeah, that's... I will say, hmm... Now again, college basketball is impossible to discuss because there's so many teams. And unless you follow it from the jump, you can't...

1:07:49Like watching Charles Barkley yesterday. He can't jump in and talk about college basketball. You don't pay attention to NBA. You think he's gonna pay attention to college groups? Yeah, he was crushing Sean Miller for taking modest vocatitis off the floor. That's the plotting big man for the long horns because they won on a put back. He's like, you need a big man in there boxing out. Like there's 11 seconds left and Purdue's big man had just fouled out. You need somebody who can guard the perimeter and switchable defenders. So, yeah, they lost on a put back. But, I mean, Charles Barkley was way off base. But, he's out there because he's a mascot. And he's entertaining. And I love Charles. I do love Charles. I won't regret saying that. But he just isn't no college basketball. But, you know what, if CBS and Turner are gonna pay him obscene amounts of money to do these things in ESPN, he's gonna take the check. It's just where we're going. Just yell and dumb things down.

1:08:50It's everything. That's on TV. That's on Netflix. People are talking about how Netflix these days, they have to explain the plot in the middle of the movies when they're writing the scripts. For people who are like scroll watching, they're scrolling while watching their movie. Yeah. I tell my kids, I had managed my kids at home. I said, if we're gonna rent this movie off of our, you know, or get something on Netflix, we're going to watch it. We're not, we're gonna put our phones down and watch the damn movie. I do not envy being a parent in these days and age. I mean, how do you even do that? You should make them put their phones in a basket. No, you just yell at them. Put it down. She's taken them. Do you want you to lock them up in a pouch like they do at, at they get concerts? Like, you can't bring a cell phone into a, Dave Chappelle concert for some reason. No, you cannot. Well, because they don't want you filming their comedy because they'll take one little, you'll take one little joke out of context and then goes viral and then everybody crushes them and you try to get canceled. If I'm Chappelle up there and I'm trying to do an act and I have like 6,000 people on their phones.

1:09:51Yes. That's rude. That's another thing. You want people present. Yeah. You're supposed to be at a concert enjoying what's happening on the stage. I don't disagree.

And it's right at the end of this tournament. So either way it goes, I'm kind of psyched up either way it goes. And yeah, it was pretty bad. Less than a two hours, like you just mentioned. And the rocket. I'm already lower their expectations dramatically after the, which really did to me with a two back to back loss of the lakeers and Poland. It's hard to do that. Yet they managed to do it. So kind of figure what kind of team that we have. Unfortunately, I mean, if they surprise us and they surprise us, but I'm not going to lower them. I'm not going to, you know, change my expectations. And it's because there's too many because we could just, you just can't at this point of the game. And with the ass rows. I still think they're pretty good.

1:11:54I still think they're going to find a way to go some runs. But yeah, I don't know why Jeremy Payne is still not playing. He hit a home run and then he felt fine.

Matthew I'm sorry For last night making a comment About the class of the 62 holding their class of reunion alumni's night at the game last night for the kookers It was uncalled forward Frankly, you were irresponsible. I was in my field. It was a long day for a Houston sports fan But I shouldn't have acted like that and I truly apologize. Sorry. I was sorry Yeah, I saw your true I know you were upset as a people do when they run to their Twitter. They run to their Twitter calendar emotional I just simply put up a bunch of emojis unhappy vomit sad and I said ultimately Ross when they went up 10 with about 30 seconds left

1:27:16I said Ross good night I'm sorry, Matt I'm more sorry about last year Not only did I go Not only did we lead for like 38 minutes of the game We lost in a double dribble or you know what a minute would have been a double dribble The ball just sat there on the floor Walter Clayton Jr. was on the floor some say the ball is still rolling on the floor at the element No, but no, but there's definitely no one that's saying no one is saying that whatsoever. I'm not a single person Ha ha ha Not no You know what I'm sorry Logan. What are you sorry for? I'm sorry, but the fact we've got one of the best coaches probably ever in the game and in basketball And I believe last night I want y'all's opinion real quick. I'll let you go um I don't even want I don't recall his name because I don't really want to the power forward the guy who uh

1:28:21I don't I don't know how to say it. He peed all over the floor He could not be got eight or nine rebounds. Who's the guy that's the center? What's his name? I'm thinking of the center the power forward You talking about Sinek or Tuggler Sinek Sinek Sinek listen There used to be a guy and I'll be real quick Joe Klein joke. There was a guy named Joe Klein for those for the Phoenix times He used to come off of the bench and the right and the rockets They were doing pretty good and Joe Klein would come off the bench And the rockets would disintegrate he took over the game a guy number six man I believe truly in my heart This is the best coach they've rocked the scooters have ever had or ever will have But last night I believe he made a total mistake and I'm not telling The Max to go take a shower And it was not his night and bringing what was it McFarland or his replacement McFarland made a couple of threes He did some good What do you think of that? I mean, I believe he should have just taken Sinek out of the game

1:29:24If you think that could have been possible and he would have brought some life into that team and and Just just made a big difference Sorry if either if you to go take Don't Sinek to go take a show What's the same with Indiana Used to do it the big co with Indiana the guy with the coach with the Chicago balls He used to even the best player that used to help out Um Michael Jordan when he wasn't having a good time to go sit down but take a shot and then make a difference But but I truly believe that last night He should have told Sinek to go take the shower and bring the numbers What's his name McFarland or whatever because he did so he did some good stuff What do you think of that? Well, there's no McFarland in the roster um, so I You know I'm thinking of McCarty you're talking of yes, right

1:30:24He came in and he put three he sued from the couple of from the perimeter. Maybe he was he was working It was work. I mean does that make any sense or not that Because oh christian names And you gotta you gotta get your names, right? You've been guessing on these people's names all day in this call. What's going on with you? You're right Well, I really don't want to think of him because it was such a disaster It's not it's not coming to mind because I really don't want to think about you guys I'm sorry You know it's the most important thing our blood you go Barely he wants christian act to get a shower in Ross and if you caught that or not you gotta go hit the showers Yeah How do you feel about these hotels now not giving you bar soap and giving you the gels that are like multiple these big bottles You okay with it. I'm fine with it The only problem is I am Like the one we had in West Palm. I have sensitive skin. So I uh that one

1:31:25I always pack my own bar of dove soap just as a backup anyways, but that's nice Yeah, it's just life was sensitive skin's not great, but that stuff was making me itch after one day So that's my only problem, but that's just me You know what if I need to buy you some uh special rg soap for future I can I have not have hype on allergenic soap. I know I usually pack it in my toilet. You're back Nice geo. What's the matter with you All right guys want to start out by saying great show is always uh, so I want to know isn't really a great show today Absolutely baby Are you sure it's a it can be it can be all right Is that you gotta think of it all right, but I want to respond To Jonathan talking about drug drivers seeing that I am a fellow truck driver here Oh, yeah, get it Can Jonathan. What was the issue you were having with that truck driver? He was in the fast lane Yeah, why are you all in the fast lane? What's going on with that? Okay, so uh, let me tell you something man

1:32:26As a truck driver we get in the fast lane sometimes to get where we need to get quick Because you know the stuff that you buy on a day-to-day basis was delivered by a truck driver When you go to the grocery store those groceries were delivered by truck driver When you go to the mall those clothes that jewelry that cologne it was delivered by a truck driver When you go to the hospital that medicine was delivered by a truck driver When you go to the coffee shop in the morning all those suppliers were delivered by truck drivers Jonathan So he was probably in that fast lane because he needed to deliver what you want the most in life on a day-to-day basis So so all the fellow truck drivers like there I am so sorry for people like Jonathan and Jonathan I love you like a long one Don't get into it, right But I don't buy my ass up, Jonathan Get him, Gio Get him, get him, get him Truckers make the world go around Let me tell you something folks Gio just saved the show That's what that's a Gio, dude It was a mid show until Gio just called put Jonathan in this place.

Come on man We'd like to know the second most disturbing thing going out right now right now What's the most disturbing thing? Houston sports. That last meek saying cuss in disco. Oh, okay. What's the second most disturbing thing? So I have a window here in my hotel. I like the windows open when I'm doing the show I don't like to be in a dark room. Okay There is a neighboring hotel with a guy in the whirlpool Swimming and talking on the phone in the and I'm I have nothing else to put staring at because the window I'm view I'm looking at is him in the in the in the tub. He is swimming and talking on the phone Yes He's like like like vigorously like what's his level of effort? Or is he like sitting in there? He's in a hot tub. Oh, okay Now I could turn my chair the other direction, but I like sunlight. I like it keeps me bright for the show I don't want to have to worry about

1:35:34Being in a dark place shut the door turn the lights off. Uh huh. So all I'm doing is instead of getting a beautiful Bucks and Memphis woman.

Oh, well, there wasn't very many Iowa fans there so it definitely has to be the Nebraska fans And I gotta say the Nebraska women are Go ahead Uh the Nebraska women are are quite the opposite of Iowa women There are a bunch of tall women in Nebraska. Huh Hmm Now the Nebraska's got an excellent volleyball team. I wonder if that was volleyball girls going down to watch the games Isn't it not the capital of volleyball in general in America? One of them they had like 70,000 people at their football stadium And that was I'm sorry for the week K-so and James K-so wants to talk about a sports he's got sports fatigue Ross. We don't know you

1:37:45Sports fatigue on this show. It's been a rough 24 to 36 hours You know, we're gonna do to wake everybody up What are we gonna do Matt the strip get the strippers mean to wake me up. I'm I'm I'm thinking my grandma some coffee, but I'm just gonna try to make it to a two a nap This is the Mac Thomas show with Ross Oh 12 oh seven in each town The Ross from Memphis. This is Bort's Talk, 790.

1:38:55The biggest tells you this guy's sports army. No. I need to be careful with those. It's 200 milligrams of caffeine. That's like, that's good. A couple of coffees generally 8 to 100. Some of y'all are drinking more. It's funny, you know what? I'll go ahead and tell this story. I'm my lovely mother. She drinks Celsius and she didn't know how much cat she's like, man, every time I drink those, they really get me going in the morning. I'm like, mom, it has 200 milligrams of caffeine. You've got to watch out. She was drinking multiple. Be careful, folks. That's all I'm saying. Watch your caffeine. I was thinking about that. Those coaks that used to be about 20 years ago. Oh, Jolt Cola? Do you ever have a Jolt? Those are terrible tasting. Yeah, Jolt Cola had 200 milligrams of caffeine in a Jolt Cola. I just googled it. That's awful. That is awful. All right.

1:39:55Time now at 12-11. Here's what I'm going to put you to a test. You ready for this? No. We already know the Cougars lost. Why don't we get into that? We know the Astros lost yesterday. I would like for you for the next 30 seconds to easily describe the three new tanking procedures the NBA's thinking. Oh, hell no. I was reading those from shams. Look, it's not going to work. The news is new. You already talked about all that in the news and news? No. I want shams to apologize for sending that out to us. Well, you know, it's not him. He's on marching orders. So I can try to shorten them. The NBA is trying to stop tanking. Okay. We don't have to worry about that because we're not going to tank any more of this down. We're done tanking. For this year and next. And maybe we'll know.

1:40:55All right. We're going to play Eric Harmon again coming out of the break. We can. It felt right. What's believe it or not today, by the way? Memphis. Memphis, you could also do all things about... We can do George the Iceman Gervan. Did you see why he's in the news? Yeah, by the way. Caleb Williams made the Iceman. Sorry. George Gervan's the Iceman. Period. End of story. It's a great nickname too. I mean, I agree, but I think I don't know. People who are maybe 25 and younger. Have you heard of George the Iceman Gervan, Jonathan? Oh, he's in the middle of bite. I'm sorry. Just give me a thumbs up or down. He's going no. See? I'm going to pack up a tuita picture of me and the Iceman from earlier this year. Okay. I'm going to solve it on your Instagram. Oh, I should, shouldn't I? Yeah, we're trying to be...

1:41:56I already put it up there once. Again. Oh. We need to horror ourselves out, Matt. By the way, do you want the rockets to win tonight? Do you want the Astros to win tonight? The only way it happens is if you follow me on Instagram at SportsMT. You said if I did that. You said that if I did that, my 401k was going to go up in a tank. It's tanking. So you lie. Well, then why are you getting false promise? You can't control everything. Then why are you selling this? It's going to happen if I follow you on Instagram. That's my strength.

1:47:00We've already been in the first two hours in 22. Why not another hour in 40? Uh, that's great. Believe it. Iowa. And Illinois. I mean, Purdue is better than Texas. I mean, yo, yo, you gave him a good game. I'll give him credit for that. I mean, you just did. Whatever. I've seen Longhorn, you know. Longhorn legend, Tramon Mark played very well on a broken ankle from much of the game and Jordan Pope played 33 minutes on a broken foot. I mean, shout out to those guys. So basically sports medicine be damned at University of Texas. Well, they wanted to play as Sean Miller said after the game, they were giving the option to come out. They wanted to play to represent the University of Texas Longhorn's. Good season. Keith on 70. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, Matt. I got a couple of questions when you were in Ross. I got four predictions. All right. Let me write these several hair brain predictions down one second.

1:48:03Go ahead. Okay. All right. So I think last night they showed that either Calvin Samson don't know how to recruit shooters or he's intimidating them players. So bad. They look nervous. They miss easy shots all over and over again. So that's one question for you. Do you think that's what's going on? That he's intimidating these players and they're so nervous and they can't shoot. Secondly, I want to talk about 30 games. They were telling me they were intimidated just one in this. I don't know if you know this or not. But Yankees Keith is a sweet 16 against a really good basketball team. I mean, come on now. Man, they missed a bunch of shots. Why an open shot that I probably could make. You're saying because he barked at them. They missed the shots because of a scale that Calvin Samson may have given them before the game.

1:49:04Well, that's just my opinion. That's just my opinion. I'm going to go to another question. Do you think where I can say it's currently constructed, they cannot come back the same way next year. Do you think they're going to go after you honest and do a wholesale change or not? Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing. Victory Lane? Yeah. It's even better with Chamba by my side. Race to Chamba Casino.com. Let's Chamba. No purchase necessary. VTW Group. Void we're prohibited by law. CTNCs. 21 plus. Sponsored by Chamba Casino. I believe they are going to kick the tires on the number one potential trade target. I don't have it on authority. I'm just telling you in my gut that Kevin Durant would like to probably have another legitimate generational type player next to him as with most teams. I think honestly, I think the rockets will be talked about. Ross, I think the next will be talked about as a team that may go. He may go. I think Miami would be in the mix and I also think Golden State would be in the mix.

1:50:05Those are the four teams in my mind that I think will with the most traction for Yannis. Because they have tradable assets. They're big spending teams. They like to go for the jugular and I don't think Yannis won't stay in Milwaukee. Okay. Let me go in my four predictions. You ready, Ross? Yes. Okay. Astros will win between 75 and 80 games. They're not going to make anybody's play. Oh, my God. Secondly, they're not going to have anybody on their teams that hits 35 home run. Nobody. Okay. Second foot. Thirdly, the Yannis will win between 98 and 102 games. Barring. Barring a major injury. Oh, dear. Fourthly. Fourthly. The Baltimore Ravens will win at least 13 games this year. Wow. I'm going to hang out with those two. It's a fourthly award. It's thirdly award. Secondly, it's thirdly. Sure.

1:51:05Why not? It kind of sounds like it would be a word. Yep. His last prediction was that Malik Wallace was going to be top 20 in QBR. By the way, Matt. Great. I know you have a little bit of an open Roman when you went. But thirdly, the third word in the play. Third point. A reason. Just want to do this. Not that. So thirdly is a word. Yes. Yeah. Fourthly is two. Okay. So fifthly, sixthly, seventhly, eighthly, ninthly. I don't know. I don't know. Okay. That's good. Fifthly sounds kind of silly. Thank you for the update on that. Again, you've just not opened one. We're now two or one. Thank you very much. Oh, once they got you out of there. That's actually not completely wrong. No, I mean, I did cheat. I'm going to get you.

1:52:05You know what? You know how they took away Reggie Bush's Heisman? We're going to take away your degree. You can't do that. There's no chance. By the way, Yankees Keith had KD going on IR in the Rock. It's missing the playoffs. Okay. So his predictions don't carry a lot of weight. You did have Jesse Mentor as the Ravens head coach. We'll give him some credit on that. Okay. But there you go. I started writing these down because he wants to call in with all this braggadociousness. That's a word. You got to write though. You got to write him and Brad's down because they like to call. They're two of the few callers that actually call back and give them some credit for things they hit on. So. All right. You made okay one half hour non-flora stories at one third. I got a doozy for a non-flora story today. Brooklyn, New York is the site. I figured you had when you liked because you texted Jonathan and I to claim it. You're like, am I stories from Brooklyn? Don't take my story. It's just good. I'm excited.

1:53:05Yeah, I'm excited. It's not it's not grotesque. It's just it's just very funny. It involves a criminal activity though. Oh, okay. And how someone spends the money that that's not only theirs. That's all I can say. 1229. Madden Ross with you. I'm here. Memphis for Rockets and Grizzlies tonight. Step in one, three, two, one, two, five, seven. Now he with. Purdue will inbound. Pressure the ball. Goes inbound. Here's great. Smith. Seven seconds left. Smith to the right side. Trying to drive past Weaver puts it up. It is no good tip up his hand. With 0.7 to go. Onward to no time. Owl's left. 0.7 left. Inbounded. Pope launches from 70. No good. And the season ends in heartbreak. And the Purdue Boiler Makers do survive.

1:54:05The Texas Long Orange in advance for the Elite 8. 79. 77. All right, who did this? Gordy? I cannot tell you who did this. Gordy. You don't know. Yes, I do. I'm right, aren't I? I don't know if you're right. He's the only one who would go and access the Learfield. You may not be wrong. John, it doesn't know who the Learfield folder is. I don't know where the Learfield folder is. Stop staring at this man with your binoculars and he's already gone. He's already gone. What is wrong with you? Yeah, congratulations to the Texas Long Orange or Sweet 16 run. It was a great run. They went as far as some programs who thought they were going to make a national championship game or a final four. Man, that's a shame. Those saddened grades from certain message boards must be really upset.

1:55:08I'm sure those guys are sad too, as all of us are. Sean Miller, good coach. Get him some players. Decent recruiting class coming in next year. Hey, it's Bubba Wallace from 2311 Racing.

1:56:09Have you seen that? I did not. I saw some videos of Bob Barker. Oh, Bob Barker. Yikes. There is a two-part documentary out that is not going to necessarily help the legacy of one old Bob Barker. What is that? Actually, I'm interested now. I don't think anybody knows. Bob Barker was married woman for a very long period of time and she unfortunately passed due to cancer. And then he became a hound with the Barker beauties when he was done, when the grieving time had passed. Well, not all the Barker beauties. Just one of them. The hottest one. And apparently he's also been in an alleged racist now. A ledger racist and a fat shaming per as well.

1:57:09So there's that. Well, they want to change the legacy. They have my time. But what happened to Sean Miller? Sorry. You know, Sean's fine. Oh, he was on the tonight show. He was a basketball kid. He was a 12-year-old kid genius. He dribbled a basketball back and forth and ran his arms and legs. It was like a Harlem Globetrotter for white kids. I'm just leaving that. I mean, he didn't do anything because Sean ever played the NBA, right? I don't see him on the... I'm googling... Oh, like with Johnny Carson? Yes! Like, I'm talking like 35 years ago. Maybe even longer than that. 40 years ago. Oh, he's juggling three basketballs? Yeah. Oh, okay. And then he's doing like the pistol-peat fast dribble. Okay, this is not that impressive.

1:58:09I'm sorry. I watched it. I'm like, what is... This is no big deal. But anyway, he had two segments on with Carson. Two segments. Two. You know what, yeah. Jerry Sanfield never got two segments. Sean Miller bit. Sean Miller bit. He was cigarette and hanging out with Sammy Davis Jr. What did he do after that? Coming up next. Dean Martin, Frank Santer, and little 11-year-old Sean Miller. Special guest cameo, Rodney Dangerfield, and Sean Miller. Angie Dickinson coming up and Sean Miller. What the hell is this? He's just putting a ball. I can't believe you've not seen this before. It's awful. But I just retweeted it at sports RV if you want to see it. He's just putting the ball through his legs. Like, we've been doing that like a sixth-grade basketball camp. I'm personally offended by this. I mean, I guess drug juggling three basketballs is cool. But come on. That's so weird.

1:59:09Yes. All right. Let's talk to Adam. Adam on 790. Adam, thank you for waiting a good afternoon. Hey, good afternoon. I'm not from Houston, and I'm just here temporarily. But I'm just going to say, are the kinkering the most snake bitten team in college sports? Because they were, I just don't get it every year. Everybody gets their hopes up. Like, this is the year we finally do it. And then every year. Like Lucy pulled the football away from Charlie Brown. And I went to the game last night. I was, that's another point I'll get to a little later. I was able to get to the game. And they were hit. You know, I'm not a crookers fan, but I just kind of felt sorry for you guys, because there were crookers fans in alumni crying last night. You know, it's grown adults crying.

2:00:09So I just don't know. I don't know if you guys are ever going to win it. I mean, I thought, if this year you can do it, or at least get back to the finals, when is it ever going to happen? That's one thought. And then as far as the game goes, I don't, I don't know like the poor shooting. I think there were a lot of factors. First of all, this game was way too late. I didn't get home till 1230 in the morning. And then I, they were trying to, I think they were trying to keep the game in the prime time for the West Coast. It was why they scheduled it, but it was ridiculous. And then... Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing. Victory Lane? Yeah. It's even better with Chamba by my side. Race to ChambaCasino.com. Let's Chamba. No purchase necessary. VTW Group. Void We're Prohibited by Ma. CTNC's. 21 Plus.

2:01:09Sponsored by Chamba Casino. I just noticed during the game, you guys were saying earlier that Houston's shooting was so poor, but it looked like they were just trying to force up a lot of three point shots. And Illinois did the same thing, but they were making their three point shots. And you guys also mentioned Arizona. And one of the reasons why I think Arizona is so successful this year is because they have taken the least three pointers out of like all the teams. They're like way down there. And what Tommy and Void, coach of Arizona focuses on, is he focuses on the mid-range game and like trying to go on the inside. The way basketball used to be played before the three point line. You know, when the three point line first came out, the three pointer was like really rare. It was only if you were like, down a lot, or you were completely wide open,

2:02:09and it was like really rare that you took a three point shot. You know, it's just, in the NCAA and the NBA, it's just doable inside and then just kick it out for a necessary three point shot. I know what you guys think. Do you say, do you mean unnecessary? Yeah, but you got, in the NCAA and the NBA, they just keep, I don't understand why they just do this durable penetration and kick out for the three. It is more than two. It's very simple. Yeah, but the percentages are a lot lower. Yes, but... Why don't you just focus on the mid-range game? Generally people don't shoot 50% from mid-range. If you shoot 50%, it is basically the same as a 33% three point shot. Most teams do not shoot 50% from mid-range. You have the outliers like Kevin Durant. He shoots around 51-52% from mid-range.

2:03:10So you need to be, I mean, the league average in the NBA is like 36% from three. Okay. So it's more points per shot. Right, but I'm just saying Arizona has been successful by not shooting the three-pointer and focusing on traditional like the mid-range game and like trying to get it on it. So you think that, you think that Tommy Lloyd, if he was bringing in a bunch of sharp shooters, guys or a perimeter guys, you'd say, I know you shot 46% from three in high school, but we're going to keep you inside 15 feet. I mean, don't you kind of tailor your team to base off your strengths? Yeah, but that's what I'm saying is that's what it looks like. He brought in some of the players for strengths on the inside, like that one center they have. You're like 72 or something like that. He takes a lot of inside shots. Well, I would assume if you're seven feet two, you'd be taking a lot of inside shots.

2:04:11Wouldn't that make a little bit of sense? Right, but it just seems like it's working. And it just seemed like it just seemed like they were just trying to force three-pointers. What do you, what do you live, mask? Katie. Okay, I thought you, I thought you were out of town. Okay, I was getting a little confused. I'm just here temporarily. I am from out of town. So when do you, when do you leave in town then? Probably in about a month, six weeks. Are you ever going to come back? I may try to come back for the World Cup. Hopefully. I mean, are you giving away tickets? So if I tell you to shut your bum ass up, it won't hurt our audience, correct? No, of course not. Okay, then shut your bum ass up. Wow. Thank you, man. Kind of felt good. It's a mixture of venom in there.

2:05:11We snakebit. We're not snakebit. We lost. Snakebit is... I think it works. Honestly. I don't think it works. Snakebit is losing a game of 0.7 on the clock. No, snakebit just means every time... Just something goes wrong every time. And he, like he mentioned, Lucy in the football. I don't see it at all that way. Snakebit just means no one. No, no, no, no, no. Do not justify Adam's call. Thank you. Thank you for calling. And Adam, you were just there. I don't want you to shut your bum ass up. It seemed like you did. You said that you've full-throated that thing. Yeah, I heard that over here too. No, you didn't. I bought this expensive microphone. So it's amplified. Yeah, okay. Well, yeah. It overmodulated as the kids say. No, I mean... If you have four guys that can shoot 40% from beyond from three,

2:06:11they're gonna shoot threes. There will not... There's not a college coach in America that says, Ah, that threes is too risky of a shot. Not in the 2026, certainly. Yeah, you... You played in your strengths. And if you got two low-pulse presence, guys that are shooting north of 50% from 10 feet in, you're gonna let those guys go. Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing.

Sponsored by Chamba Casino. I mean, they don't shoot a lot of threes. That's an awesome... An amazing front line of, you know, 6-8, 6-9, and 7-2 across the front. Man can dream. But I review the believe we are snakebit. I hope. 12th. We're not losing in the football, right? That means you just keep losing badly, like a strange, well-grained, and we lost the way it's most final fours ever without a championship. And the Jordan Bull shot. They're kind of remembered.

2:07:11Yeah. If you have a couple of zilles, what's all that? A year snakebit. I'm sorry. I don't know, Matt. Sometimes... Are we snakebit? The University of Houston Cougars? Yes. Most final fours without a championship doesn't sound snakebit, do you? Sounds like sketchy officiating. Merriam Webster is definition of snakebit. 12.47. How about Doki in 13 minutes on Sports Talk 7. 12.52, Matt and Ross with you until two o'clock. What o'clock we've got? We've got Emei Doki, 130. We've got non-floor stories, Ross. We've got some tickets giveaway for a concert and Rockets on today's edition of a Hellier, not at 150. Excellent. And the category will be... University of Houston Cougars Basketball in honor of their great sweet 16 run. And how snakebit they are.

2:08:13Yes. Lucy in the football. Black cats walking under a ladder. What else we got? It's an informal animal crack. Informal adjective adjective, meaning plagued by bad luck, misfortune or sudden unexplained inability to succeed. All right, maybe we're snakebit. Sorry, Matt. We're losing two fists of our starting lineup. Actually three fists. Actually four fists. Really? I think who sounds gone? I think Senac is probably going to the draft. I think Fleming is definitely going to the draft. And who am I forgetting? Who's the shooting guard? Sharp. Chicken noles. No. What do I even get you involved in Cougar conversation? Oh, manual sharp.

2:09:13Yeah. Milo's went two for eleven yesterday. Christian act three or twelve. You can't. Yeah. It's the tournament you can't have it. You got to play great for six games. It's tough. First half. The rocket. The rocket. The Cougar shot nine of thirty three. Four of seventeen from three. We shot two free throws a whole night. Hmm. Hmm. I know. It's fine. Let's talk to easy at twelve fifty five on seven on the easy. Good afternoon to you. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Hey, man. That was pretty cool. How you set him up like a kind of like a standup comedian. Set up a heckler. And then since your radio host, you had the last words. And I thought you were going to do the poverty on the set your Blum ass up on his ass. No, I was. He was just he was just the guilty. He was the guy was right in front of me. I he didn't deserve it.

2:10:13And he knows that I'm just teasing with him. But I just. I just want to hear about what snake bit losing. I want to hear about winning in final four and rings and championships. I don't hear about all close but no cigar yet again. Well, my car originally was the kind of cleanse of pallets. As I told you guys about two weeks ago, they let it lay me off for my job. And I try to let go of the upsetness and the negativity. Ten days later, good thing getting this. I started a new job on Monday. So once I let that go, I put good vibes out there. So let's do that. Forward with the rocket. Yeah, it was it was a tough loss. You know, it's just kind of like they got laid off that day. Hey, they're moving forward. Yeah, I'll tell you it's not going to happen again. Same thing with the Astros. We got to put this vibe out into the universe and through the radio waves. And I'll hang up a listen. You guys have a good Friday. Thank you, easy congratulations on your new job. Hopefully it's for more paying better benefits and good working conditions.

2:11:14Yeah, glad to hear easy landed on his feet. Look at it. If the Astros are going to win, we got him an 87 wins, right? Give her take 87. I think did you and I did you say 87 as well in the sports talk 796? Somewhere in that range, you know. Because both Adam and Adam put the same number. I think they both put 89. That means they're going to lose 75 times at least. Gordy had 84. Who had the least? Yeah, we both had 87. Yeah, Gordy had the least with 84. Okay. Dan was next with 86 in the World Series.

We'll have it for you here on 790 beginning at 6 o'clock with the launch pad 7 o'clock tip time.

2:14:19You may doke with us here. You may first of all, thanks for joining us. These conversations sometimes aren't fun, especially after the way the performance of the last couple of games. Has it been, I mean, obviously the answer is yes to this, but to the level I want to get your thoughts on. Those two games against Miami and Atlanta were fun, interesting buzzer beaters. You beat some good teams. You get on the road. You got some teams that are probably worrying about the end of the season in Chicago and then the Minnesota game without end. I guess the level of frustration for you about this team's inability to stay consistent. Especially in this time of year when you're trying to juggle for seedings in a Western conference. Yeah, I would say, you know, it's been a problem of ours throughout the year. You know, we look and feel and play like a different team at times against the big matchups. You know, kind of get up with those and then have loans against the middle of those teams with losing records. And so obviously something we want to change and be consistent with guys who were playing. And even in those games, you know, we got really good stretches.

2:15:21It was a poor quarter or two. That kind of split us behind. Obviously the first quarter in Chicago after a good win, but even the end of the Miami game letting them come back like we did. And then the first quarter in Chicago outside of that played a great few quarters. Didn't play our best, you know, most of the night against Minnesota, probably a sea level game and put together. You know, good last three minutes and a great start to overtime, but have to be more consistent and sustain that effort that defensive mentality. And then obviously being aggressive and confident. Was there anything that Minnesota did in that last half of the overtime? I mean, look, that was minutes 53 and 54 of the game. What went from so good in that fourth quarter to, you know, allowing those free baskets that they were able to make that comeback and such as a short period of time? I mean, they started going after Kevin a little bit. They blitzed a few times. We got to Alpine in the pocket. And Jabari had a white open three missed a man in the pocket one time and had some white open shooters and Alpie in the duckerspot and kind of shot over a few people.

2:16:22So a few missed cues outside out of the blitz and then some some turnovers a second violation. Obviously, and some turnovers that got them out of transition. But that was the point once we got the lead. You know, where deep as wasn't set because they were getting out running and scored pretty much, you know, seven to ten seconds on the shot. A few times in a row. Eme, you're so late in the season here. It's not about teaching. It's not about an extra practice. It's not about intense film setting. It's a little bit of, I guess, the psychologist part of your job as a coach to say, look guys, we've let a lot of these kind of games slip through our fingers. And if we want to be where we want to be and make a playoff run, we got to get this corrected down with about ten games of the year. Is that the way you're kind of approaching things? Absolutely, because even in those games that we haven't played a full four quarters, we've had really great stretches, really dominant stretches. And obviously, like I said, to go down 21 on Chicago and come back as fast as we did in the way we did. Obviously, we played really good basketball on guard at a high level. So how can we sustain that? That's the main thing coming out to start games with the same intensity that we bring when we get down.

2:17:27And so that's the real thing. I think we all know we can get back and want to be playing our best going into playoffs and have a chance to still do that. Or I could take coach. I made Doko with his here on sports talk 790. Yeah, obviously when you go through bad stretches out here, one of the things that pundits like to go to is vibes or body language or things like that. And there's been some national people picking up on that. Just your perspective. How do you feel morale, chemistry vibes, whatever you want to call it with the team? I was saying everybody's frustrated when you lose and nobody's going to be happy about it. And so body language isn't going to be totally upbeat when you're down 20 or giving up a big league. But you have to have some resiliency and some determination to get back in these games the way we have or to be even keeping it close when we're not playing our best. And so we look at that thing, those things overall. And how can we manage to play a better quarter here so we're not down the deficit? So I don't put a ton in that.

2:18:27I think our guys are all on the same page room for each other, cheering for each other. And when you want to go on well, we are upbeat and all that. And you just got to maintain that even in the down times. And so I don't look too much into that. I think all our guys know what's at stake now and how we have to play at a more consistent level. And so we don't look at that. I don't really hear it, but we go about our business and try to put a full game together tonight against Memphis. Yes, you mentioned just going about your business. What do you do as a coach? You try to keep it just business as usual. Do you try to do anything differently when these types of stretches pop up? No, you definitely talk about it. You don't sleep it under the rug and act like it's okay. Like we're playing our best basketball our most consistent. We make that a point and see how we can get to it and show the great stretches that we've had to come back from down 11 in the last three plus minutes and then take a 13 point lead. We did some really good things. We were physical into the ball. They were the aggressive most of the night and we flipped it there. And if we can come out with that to start and show them all the good things, the positive things. Obviously, we look at what went wrong as well.

2:19:28But you understand what can get you there and how consistent you have to be. And so we look at both, you know, put on the table and see the ways for us to improve and how we can do it in these last nine games. How have you liked a men since the change when you put reading the start line up the last handful of games? Yeah, men's been great regardless. I think, you know, even going back to his last 20 or so games, even before a read was in line up, he's been playing that extremely high level. On the ball off the ball, it just gives him more variety when read is in to not have to handle as much. You know, you can get back into some of his dunker spots and then screening a rolling and do the offensive rebounding. And so just gives him more varieties of ways to score a ways he can attack and not just having the ball and setting up. So he's still doing that. Some obviously want him to continue growing that role. But he's still good to the other things you don't just want to limit him. Ema, you got the Memphis Grizzlies in the night. This is a team that said 29 different players. What is it like for even for a division opponent?

2:20:30You will see him for the fourth, third time this year. You have to basically draw up a new lineup or at least film study wise of a bunch of guys you've largely never seen before collectively play together at the same time. Well, you just take a look at Chicago and Washington and all these other teams that are, you know, guys are auditioning for roles for their futures. And, you know, they had a close game with Boston the other night. They beat Denver a few games ago in the last five. And so, you don't look at the names on the back of the jersey as the NBA and you can get beat any night if you don't come out with the right mindset. So, for us, it's about coming out aggressive guarding them just like they're anybody else. And we've got to get back to our physicality on that end offensively. Taking care of the ball, sharing the ball and, you know, being aggressive, attacking there and not looking for fouls or calls or anything like that. So, like I said, it's more about us, honestly. We'll go about our business tonight like we have to, but we want to see a consistent four quarters and carry it on to the next game as well. We'll leave it at that. Thank you for the time. As always, we'll see you at the arena later this evening and good luck against the Grizzlies.

2:21:30Thank you. All right. We'll see. That's you made. Doca with us here on sports talk. 790 at 109 and again, rockets against the Grizzlies tonight coming up. We'll have it free with a launch pad at six. Tip time will be at seven o'clock. And the reality is this Ross, you're down. I mean, this is what game 83, 73 tonight. You can't get to a practice court. You just got to be able to play four quarters. This is, I think of a storyline this year has been. Sometimes 12 minutes. Synchia. It definitely sunk in the Chicago game being down by 20, fighting all the way back. And maybe part of that as well, being down double digits late to Minnesota was too much to be able to put that extra five in. And you just got to find a will and a way to do that because that last two and a half minutes was certainly a different basketball team than we saw in the previous quarter against Wolfen. They came back from that double digit deficit. It's just been, it's been crazy. The up and down and it just been a bit of a funk. I mean, at least you do have the pair of wins over the hawks and the heat.

2:22:31I mean, those were great on the back to back. It was especially after the two losses to the Lakers, but that's that's basically what they're sandwiching between. The first loss to the Lakers with the fourth quarter was just so bad. And then and then the second one where Luca don't just just got hot at the end. And then this bulls and this timber was lost. And they're just tough pills to swallow. It's just, it's been frustrating as far as knowing that the team can play better and just not seeing it as much on the floor. And the reality is this, if the rockets look at themselves whenever the standings eventually come out after 82 and they're in the six or the five or they don't have home court, they can score to look at the number of bottom seven losses. Would that be fair to say? Yeah, missed opportunities. Not contending playoff teams. Teams that have multiple injuries. I mean, you had no disumu. You had no Anthony Edwards. You lost Nazari because he told Scott Foster, he probably cheats.

2:23:32Rudy Gobert fouled out. Yep. You got to go. That's a little that intestinal fortitude that I think the rockets right now are missing. We can point to that one in seven record in overtime. Yeah, the clutch, the clutch shooting. I mean, I don't want to bring this up because I don't want to be cranky. But there were three numbers that I saw. Nine losses when leading after three. Ooh. Clutch games, I guess, was it, was that clutch is within five, right? Within five and under five minutes, I think. 19 and 22. And 67 turnovers in clutch time. Well, the problem is, turnovers have been, turnovers have been an issue all season long. I mean, you know, you could, you could extract those five minutes, but they've been, they've been turnovers in the second quarter games too, you know. Yeah. Five minutes or fewer remaining in a game when a five point margin is qualifies as clutch time. Which is funny because it shouldn't be six, two possession.

2:24:35Yeah. But whatever. All right. Can we do 40 minutes of non-depressing radio the rest of the way? Are we going to just look for that? I don't know. What's believe it or not today? I thought you were going to do a Cougar basketball history. Are you on me too? I was being, I was being, I was being, I was being a jerk. How about that? Write that down. What? Get your pen out, write it down. Why? Do you being a jerk? 113, Friday? No, I was. I'm saying it was earlier though. Yeah. Okay. That's, I'm apologizing now. Then meet as much. Okay. Although instant notification of your rudeness was appreciated at least. All right. So, 113, we've got non-flora stories, bottom of the hour.

2:25:36If you want to get in, there's your last chance to talk to us for the week. Come on in and talk to us. Cougar fans, if you're sad, let me know. Astro fans, if you want the Hating Coaches fired after one game, don't let me know. If you're a rocket fan that's aggravated, I get it. We can be aggravated together. 713-212-5790. Non-flora stories, come it up in about 12 minutes. Year on sports talks, 790. 713-212-5790. If you want to chime in right now. 713-212-5790. Again, rockets tonight here on 790. And the Astros, if you're going to catch the Astros game of the radio, which of course, good to hear Robert and Steve back on. We'll be over on 740 tonight with a start time of 710. All right. Let me get back on the phones and we'll start with Willie, the Cougar fan. Willie, are you sad today? I'm assuming the answer is yes. Yes.

2:26:36There is a sadness about this. You know, it's like losing someone. It's a grieving time. Now, I couldn't watch the game last night. My husband did. He had to volume down low or on mute. Because I thought, well, if they lose, I just don't want to see this. So at 11, I was in a bedroom finishing my book. And I came back into the main area where the TV isn't. My husband said, you don't want to see it recorded. They lost. And I said, oh, no. But I, you know, I didn't, I guess I, you know, I didn't sleep well last night. I kept thinking about it. It felt bad for the coach. And of course, the team feels bad. But I was at the grocery store a few minutes ago. I was talking to the bagger. And he said, well, I don't really like basketball. But my friend does. And he said, my friend's neighbor broke the TV last night.

2:27:39He's going to have to buy a new one. So there, some people are really upset. Never worth it. No sporting events worthy of breaking a television. I find that. I don't know if you see that. Thank you, Willie, for the phone call. I don't see it on social media. I don't think that's cool or interesting or fresh. I think it's stupidity. If you go, if you take something and you destroy equipment or a television or throw something, you need to check yourself. If you want to have a pop or have a shot of something or you want to just yell and scream at people, that's one thing. But to go destroy a property, that's, come on. It's his sports. Be like going and destroying furniture to Las Vegas Hotel after a University of Texas football loss. You know what I'm saying? This is only irresponsible. Yeah. I didn't do that. I literally slammed my hand on a table and it shattered into 15 pieces. That is not accurate. Literally nothing broke. And then you're like downstairs and you've got property supply and prostitute.

2:28:42You got property supply and prostitute. This legend, excuse me? What? Do you remember that girl? She wanted a party with you? Oh, yeah. I was literally playing video poker in this prostitute came up next to me and she's like, oh, let me show you how to play and I was like, what? And then she was like, you know if you had a jackpot, you have to give me money. And I'm like, no, I'm good. And then, yeah. I love the story. Then she propositioned me and I said, no, I'm good. What did she actually say? You want a party? No, no, no, no. That's what it was. She wanted me to go somewhere and have drinks with her or something. I'm like, I'm about to get robbed if I leave anywhere with this girl. Maybe she probably had her boyfriend. She had her boyfriend with a ski mask and the alley radio did jump on us if I left with her. You've been down on at least one in testing. Yeah. She was down on her luck. She was busted down. Let's put it that way. All right. So maybe you didn't... Yeah, I will never bring that story out. I forgot about that. First of all, those are two different stories. There's two different hotels.

2:29:42One happened at... West and Bull times. No. No, you're wrong. But anyways, have you ever... You've never been watching a football game. It was Oklahoma State, I think they were losing it. And I hated Mike Gundy. So I really wanted them to beat Oklahoma State. And yeah, I slammed my hand on the end table or something. Like, because I was pissed. I didn't break anything. I mean, don't you see your first videos of throwing like coffee pots and kicking their television? Hey, I'm so mad. By the way, would you shoot a video of me throwing kicking my TV? Because I want to get it difficult viral. Yeah, it's people with underlying health issues, mental health issues. Correct. At SportsMT on Twitter, I'll look at it. By the way, I had a new follower to Instagram. Okay. So they'll tell you real quickly. I won't mention this person they met.

2:30:42I don't want to add him. But apparently I was following him when he followed me earlier. He must have unfollowed me because as soon as he re-followed me back, it shows that I was already following him. I'm like, all right, you little shady gangster. You know who you are, Gene. You said you weren't getting out of him. Oops. K-so. What's your chili can comment, my friend? Hey guys, how's it going today? As I told Jonathan, I think for the first time in a long time, I have sports fatigue. I, so much losing has happened in the last week. And I'm like, I'm almost trying to mentally check out at this point. It sucks. I'm obviously a huge rocket fan. I'm a, you know, casual Astros fan, casual Texans fan. And huge UH basketball, you know, UH alum, you know, currently working here.

2:31:42You know, last night, I tried to disassociate myself. I even tried to put on hockey. I just, I did nothing was working. I was just so bummed. And my wife, Mrs. K-so, came to me and she was watching the two groups game and she goes, why do you care so much about teams that are always just losing in your life? And I just sat there. I didn't, I didn't have a response for the first time in my life. And I just, I just don't know what to do. So I think I need like sports therapy to tell me I can watch a movie instead of watching the rocket to get blown out to the Chicago Bulls. It's just, it's crazy, Matt. And, you know, I listened and I watched the game against the Timberwolves. You know, it was a sure thing in the bag. They blew that 13 point lead. And I think I heard Clint and say that he was in a dark room watching a city home network or just listening to something. I was doing the exact thing.

2:32:42I was in my kitchen. I was butt naked. I was listening to your call. And I just felt like this was not what I wanted to be doing anymore with my time. It's sad, but I hope something comes around. And do you guys have any words of advice to help me keep watching for the rest of the year? Astros, you know, I'll take it. Appreciate it. Hey, it's Cole Swindell. After I give everything I've got to land a perfect vocal. I usually take five before jumping into the next track. And I've learned exactly how to recharge in that time. Some folks grab coffee. I hit a quick good lookspin. Next thing you know, the break is just as fun as land down the track. A better break makes for a better take. Need a break? Let's chumble. No purchase necessary. BGW Group void were prohibited by law. 21 plus TNC supply. Sponsored by Chumba Casino. Yeah, you cannot be butt naked in your kitchen. There's just a lot of potential injury to happen there. Well, it's not like he's cooking on three burners.

2:33:44All right. When's the last time you went to your kitchen and was completely butt naked? I mean, not a stitch. Within the last week. Really? Okay. And to get some water. See, we can't do it at the Thomas House. So because I've got paintings. I live alone. Oh, so you could just walk around without eating with nothing. Yeah, I guess you're in a apartment. You could do that. Yeah. You come out of the shower. You haven't put your clothes on yet. I don't know. That doesn't matter. What if you're like chopping up like celery and... Yeah, exactly. I am not... I'm not making homemade french fries with no clothes on. Scrabbing some water. What if you're cutting up a beef tenderloin or something? Get a hydrator falling there. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not reverse searing a rib eye. Let me ask you. Why do you think he brought up the fact that he was completely butt naked during this? Was there looking for a little element of, hey, I've been there, done that kind of thing?

2:34:46I don't know. It adds to the story, though. It does. All right. To answer your question, Kaiso, you must still enjoy sports. But I would at least put some boxers on when you're in the kitchen. Just in case. It's like anything. You can enjoy it, but don't overdo it. Don't make it your life. Don't make it your whole personality. Okay. Yes. I had three beers. That sounds fine. I had 14 beers. I had a nice dinner. Good on movie. Do other things. Yeah. Aristotle had to write many years ago. All things in moderation. Yeah, Aristotle. What a... All he did was give his clever phrases. Yes. We had Paul Harvey. We had Aristotle. Who's doing the Forrest in 2026? Tony Robinson. Oh, what Kendrick Lamar? Yeah. Pueola's a prize winner.

2:35:46Yeah. He's absolutely a fantastic poet. Word Smith. Couldn't have said a bit on myself. Not full of stories after I'd say about up 10 appliance repair. We find interesting stories that occur outside the state of Florida. And share them with the people of Houston. It's time for non-chlorida. Store on coast to coast will bring the strange and wild. No alligator tails, but something that will make you smile. It's time for laughs from far and wide.

2:36:51In this crazy world, there's nowhere to hide. Muriel Mischak. 43 years old. In 2020, in Brooklyn, she was promoted to director of the German language immersion daycare called Kinderhaus. She was previously a program coordinator in 2013. Well, during her time running this immersion daycare, she was stealing money and tuition payment sports RV. What? Yes. Between January of 2022 and October of 2025, she stole the equivalent of $2.75 million. Wow, that's a lot. I mean, that is no one wants the books under any circumstance.

2:37:57So she steals the 2.75. She spends a lot of the money on the two high end departments in Brooklyn, New York. But she also Ross and Jonathan spent over $350,000 on one particular thing. Would you guys like to guess what that one particular thing is? Bitcoin. I'm a jitter. Tickets to WWE events. What? Yes. She's an enthusiasm. Treated her three children to outings at WWE events like Monday Night Raw and a top dollar for deluxe packages to meet wrestlers. She also spent over $600,000 on travel entertainment along with hundreds of thousands of dollars on luxury items, food delivery and riding sharing services. I can't imagine spending $600,000 on Uber lift or lift for that matter.

2:38:59She was arrested by federal agents early on Wednesday, pleaded not guilty to a Brooklyn court to wire fraud and money laundering charges. If she's convicted of the charges, Ms. Yak faces up to 20 years in prison. She was ordered to surrender a passport. She's a Swiss citizen, by the way, and was ordered a $200,000 bond and she must wear an ankle monitor as well. I know WWE tickets are expensive, but $350,000 to see the Ms. in Roman Reigns and CM Punk. That is excessive spending, my friends. Seems like a little much. And that is my non-floor to story. Thank you, Matt. Okay, I guess I can go next.

2:39:59Oh, it looks like Jonathan's on, hopefully he's on the phone. Well, I'm going to be honest, Matt. I had a story and then I realized it's from Florida, so I'm scrambling. But I have this one. How about this, Matt? Do you subscribe to the publication called Environmental Pollution? In fact, I do. I'm glad you brought that. Okay, I just renewed it. So you must be intrigued by the latest edition, where they were testing sharks off the coast of the Bahamas. As a research team led by biologist Natasha Woznik was analyzing blood samples from 85 sharks near Elyraitha Island. Elyraitha? This isn't going to end well. Island. This isn't going to end well, is it? Well, the nurse sharks, Caribbean reef sharks in juvenile lemon sharks are all full of cocaine, caffeine and painkillers. Oh.

2:40:59Researcher say the sources are, of course, all human-related, sewage runoff, waste discharge, and of course, tourists waiting in the waters of the Bahamas, who urinate, release trace amounts of whatever drugs they have, including cocaine. So if you want to avoid the cocaine sharks, don't head to the Bahamas. I thought she was going to lose limbs and stuff. Okay. That doesn't, oh, it's really exciting. Right. You get really worried. By the way, I want to make an announcement here, and I feel like it's an honor of Kay. So I decided to go put naked for the last half hour of the show. Nobody, see, nobody needs to hear that. Well, I mean, I believe it opened on this conversation of Kay, so it's naked so fine. I'm uncomfortable. I don't even know if I want to write that down. Please don't. Don't write it down.

2:41:59Cocaine sharks? Embezzling money for a school for WWE tickets. Jonathan top those two stories, please. I'm a tribe. But in Boston, you can stop at the Call of Boomer phone booth on Commonwealth Avenue in Brooklyn. Free a charge just to connect with the other people. What are in Boston? Which one is it? On Commonwealth Avenue in Brooklyn line. Oh, Brooklyn. I said Brooklyn. Okay. That's my best. That's free charge. You can connect with the older person. You know around you guys' ages, living in a senior housing facility in Reno, Nevada. They say that it shows in neuroscience that young people and seniors are like loneliness among eighth groups. The goal of this project is to inspire generational connection to meaningful connections. A plaque on the phone booth reads, calls work either way. If no one picks up, the caller can leave a message. The guy who set up his matter set up another phone line early this year in San Francisco.

2:43:01And our neighbors, you know, Ms. Tex even know an Abilene. Just designed to connect everybody on the spectrum. Would you pick up a phone mat if someone called you those young people? If I could be therapeutic for them, sure. Why not? I think it's weird. It's weird. It's weird. It's weird. I think it's a nice story. It's a story of, hey, somebody needs some help. Grab a phone. Call somebody. I don't know. I like that. That's what I went for. You're not going to believe this. When I was a kid, this is like when I was five or six. Well, that's still a little deterred at the time. It's one of the few memories I remember Detroit. There used to be a restaurant we used to go to. And each of the tables had a telephone. And if you wanted to talk to somebody in a different table, your table had a number to it. You could just call them and say, hey, I'm a table 11 or I'm a table 26.

2:44:02I didn't have caller ID back then. This is the late 70s. But phone conversations can work to meet people. It could be cathartic. And if you want to have a rando hook up at a restaurant where you need to choose burger and fries, you could go to a 1978 restaurant in Detroit. Now the problem was you could probably crank call some people too and you're trying to eat your pizza or your cheese sticks and somebody's calling your phone over and over again. Now you can always just hang it up. But you never know who you're going to meet. Never going to bond with.
