Anything Goes Friday, Astros vs Yankees Tonight! C.J. Gardener-Johnson, Texas Tech Spending $$$

H-Town, good morning, and welcome to a Friday edition of the Matt Thomas Show and Ross for Taya Brewing. This is Sports Talk 790. Get them. Doug, why are you so mad to me, Doug? Hey, what are we, a bunch of chicks out here? Come on, Matt, you and whoever sings that song, shut your bum asses up. You shut your bum ass up. Get him, Doug.

You love that song, Doug. If Gloria Safon came into your house and said, take me, Doug, you'd say, I'm gonna take you because my name is dumb. I mean, you've had to sober up for your mother before. I guarantee you in Rossville, Rale's 40 years of life, you've been on the phone with your mother and you've had too much a drink. I guarantee it. I mean, I've had to step out of Bible study, but that's really about it.

Mira joyed that Miralax helped me go. I was so backed up. You got denied? No, I just signed. You have to send in an audition video? Ha! I think it's how I would do it? That's like a drag!

Is it like getting into Juilliard school? You had to tape yourself? I did. I would have a great strike call. Dick the Lone was here. You know a little cage, red ass? That's not the same. I'm not talking about his cooking habits. Nobody knew what he was saying.

What? What? Like Bobby A Bear? Mention Bobby A. Alos. Yeah, Jack, go on, baby. I mean, maybe we're throwing furniture off the roof at the end of the night? I can't confirm nor deny.

The statute of limitations, I think, has worn off. Okay, good. So then I can't mention that I saw a pregnant girl do a keg stand and it was very disturbing. Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.com. If you want to go to Monster Jam. Monster Jam. Oh, God. I could not be more proud of you, my friend.

That is maybe the best Friday open we have had in a long period of time. Really? I am so happy. with you. Everything sounded good. Nothing was clipped. You got Dan Matthews in. You made fun of Ross quite a bit. It is just, and you got the Mir relax girl in there, too. I told you I was going to get it. I told you. I mean, my gosh, I'm so happy for you. So don't leave us until probably at least the end of the year. I mean, the statute of limitations of being a producer on the show is about a year. So I'm just saying, stay with us as long as you can. I've been here. I've been five months? Okay, okay, okay. Good for you.

I also have it for you. That is Jonathan Allen. I'm Matt Thomas. Ross is on a conference call. I can't tell you why, but I mean, I guess I could tell you why. You'll be hearing a brand new sponsor in the show here shortly, but he's going to join us in the second segment. Where I am today is at Talia Brewing at 1033 Imperial Boulevard.

Listen to me very carefully. First of all, I hope that you enjoy the Friday Open. We take pride in that. We just don't do the same boring-ass radio show. Hey, we're here. Let's talk sports. We're not going to do that. Anything goes Friday.

Secondly, we're Italian brewing at 1033 Imperial Boulevard. You're going to come by. You're going to have some pints. How many have we got on tap today? 17 beers on tap. Now, if you're drinking a 10-0, sit 5 in the morning, why don't we wait a little bit? No.

Come around noon. We're cool with that. But come have some lunch. Their sausage pepper's pizza is one of the best pizza ever had in my entire life. I've got a full menu here, but the pizza for me is my favorite. They've got a pizza oven downstairs. That's incredible. Come have some pints. We got some Astor tickets that I've been giving away later today. We have some golf. We'll be giving away later today. And this is the place you want to come hang on and watch the Astros game

tonight against the Yankees because the game is not on local television. It's on Rappell Rear. You know what I'm saying? I believe this is the last time Rappell has an Astros game. So if you don't have a rappel or don't want to pay for it, you come over here to tell you're brewing, have some pints, 17 different on tap, get the pickle ball and get the samples, and you will be smiling for the rest of your day. Now, if you like to have a lot of pops and don't want to worry about driving home, you Uber here, or you bring a friend who doesn't want to drink. Whatever the case would be, it's a very relaxed atmosphere, the three and a half acres, lots of place to move around. bring your dog if you want so i don't care if you do uh bring your kids uh there'll be music this weekend but again this is the place to come hang out with us today uh now until two o'clock if you want to come hang on now that'd be cool but again i don't know if i'm in a huge endorser of drinking beer at 10 oh six in the morning but you do you

all right now today isn't anything goes friday here on the matt thomas show with ross and again ross will be with me here in just a second how do you partake in such a show you will call 713212 5 790 that's 713-212-5-790. Brian McTaggart will be on this radio show today at 11 o'clock. He was supposed to be with us yesterday, but he was traveling back from Miami, so he will join us at 11 o'clock. We have, I'm sorry, at 1130 this morning. That's our weekly Friday get together where you get to apologize for half an hour for the mean and nasty things you've said and done. And, you know, I do need to apologize as a people.

It's always a cathartic part of the week, so I'm sorry, as are coming up at 1130. We'll wake the strippers up at 12 noon, and we have now in Florida stories at 130. Also today, at 10.50, I have my naked gun review. I went and saw Naked Gun last night. Who gives a little preview ranking. What?

Give us a little preview ranking. Nope, can't do it. I want people to look. No, Jonathan, we've got to build the energy for this. Yes, what I'm saying? So give us, all right. 42 minutes. People can wait.

Give me a, give me, like, an estimate to like, like, all right, one through 50. No. If I didn't get, I'd get, like, hot or warm. No. How about this? There were three or four times I belly laughed during the movie. Oh, okay.

It's good. Okay, okay. You know what the difference between, like, a chuckle and a belly laugh is? Right, like you're getting cramps, you're about my little tear up a little bit? Yes. I didn't tear up, but I, I absolutely belly laugh. three or four times. That's the only I'm going to tell you.

All right, I'll take it. I'll take it. The review is at 10.50. By the way, and I'm not a huge movie goer. I like to watch movies at home, like most of us have. I mean, that's the way it's gone. So yesterday, I take my wife and my two sons. My daughter was too boozy to go on the movies with her family, so she didn't go. It was the four of us, and there was two other people that were sitting two rows in front of us. this is for a movie theater that the showing was at 545.

There were six of us in the movie theater. I don't know what's going on with the movie industry. Maybe they've just said, hey, you know, like we watch Happy Gilmore. We saw it on Netflix. And maybe that's the trend. And I've got a good listener of ours that works at a movie theater in the Woodlands.

Shout out to you, my friend. But that would be a concern to me if I was a movie operator in any part of town that six people. Now, we're still in the summertime. Kids are going back to school a little bit here and there next week, but you had a chance to go watch a movie that had just been out with a handful of days. Six people were in the damn place.

So I don't know what's going on with the movie industry. Look, it wasn't cheap. The movies were expensive. The popcorn was expensive, but we just chalked it up to. We don't do it very often, so we just sucked it up and paid for the money. But, yeah, the review on the naked gun coming up at $10.50 today. All right. Now, to the world of sports, and again, if you want to join us, 713, 212, 570, anything goes Friday here on the show. You literally have the longest leash.

If you've got a terrible take about players taking days off and how you're so upset about it, 713, 212, 570. If you have a reasonable take about that athletes today are different than they were 50 years ago, doesn't mean it's better, just telling you the way it is, I'll accept that at 713, 2,1, 5709. If you want to bash on the Yankees for a better part of four hours, we'll accept that at 713-212-5-790. All right, so tonight, Hunter Brown, will throw for the local nine against Cam Schlitter.

I always have to pause. I'm a man of a pause because, you know, if you talk fast, things may come out of your mouth that you're not prepared for. Trust me, I know. I'm just saying, Jonathan, we're trying to work with you on that. Cam Schlittl Schlitter

Slittler Oh Robert Ford My man You're going to have some fun with that You just are Three game series On deck 5 o'clock First pitch 6

I'll have the 10th inning show after that We will get to that A lot on the show today Especially with Brian McTagger Joining us Also on the radio show today There was an initial report that C.J. Garner Johnson had a torn ACL.

That was quickly refuted. And there are more tests underway. But the second report says that there is a chance that C.J. Garner Johnson would be able to play this year. How long he'll be out? We don't know. How severe the injury is, we don't know. But it didn't take long. So I guess that's good news.

I mean, it beats the alternative. The first report was he's done for the year. I mean, ACLs typically mean you're done. So there is some hope that he comes back. But even with all this stuff going on yesterday on the Twitter streets about whether or not he's how long he's going to be out, there's a part of me that says, I mean, if you've got some sort of serious knee injury that you take place,

are we really expecting C.J. Garner-Johns at some point to be pick up where he left off prior to the injury? I mean, knee injuries are serious. So whatever happens, if he comes back at Amherons, any point, it'd be gravy. If he comes back and is performing to the level that we thought it would be, then that's a really good situation for the Texans to be in. But there's also a part of me that says, if he shows up at all, I will be surprised.

So we will get further indication on C.J. Garner's injury probably after the Texans game tomorrow against the Minnesota Vikings. Also, I want to hear from Texas Tech football fans today. And I don't know. Look, my oldest went to Texas Tech University. You know me. If you've listened to show for any length of the time, I do like Texas Tech. I like Lubbock. My son had a great experience.

I loved going up there. I root for them except when they play the University of Houston because they're going to get the beat down in their life at TDUC Stadium coming up in a couple of months. But yesterday, they had one of the top players in the 2027 class. that's high school. The number four recruit in the entire country, his final choices were he did one of those goofy-ass hat ceremonies. You know, when you do it in front of all your buddies at school and stuff and TV stations cover it.

His four schools came down to Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Texas Tech. Guess what shirt he wore? Guess what had he put on? Texas Tech. Texas Tech, you are buying athletes left and right. You've got to win 10 games in the next two years, right, bra? So Red Raider fan, by the way, Joyne McGuire on his Twitter account bragging like a mudda.

The Texas Tech account bragging like a mutter. Every Texas Tech fan I know that I follow on Twitter is seeing the 4 U tabs, I mean, there is this incredible beating of chess at Texas Tech. You ain't bragging, you ain't beating your chest if it ain't for the rich alum who's writing checks. So calm down, Texas Tech Red Raider, because last time I checked, and I love your school, I told you that, you all live in the 7 and 5 world. So guess what? You're paying $15, $20, $25 million a year for Transfer Portal kids and everything.

Time to get your ass in the 10 and 2 world. Time to get you're in the Big 12 championship world. Time to get the playoff world. Because this rich alumn, this Cody Campbell dude, he ain't buying $7.5. He ain't paying this kid $3.5 million for $7.5. I'm just saying. Astros, Texans, Texas Tech, anything goes Friday. 713, 212.

5.790. Taya Brewing, 1033 Imperial Boulevard. You need to come out here today to watch the Astros tonight because it's not on local TV. Just saying, come out tomorrow, come out Sunday. 17 different beers on tap, friends. 17. Pared and destroyed, let's go. If you can't make it out here today because it's Friday and your bosses are making

your work, you know where to come out here Saturday and Sunday. They'll barbecue this weekend. The pizza oven's working today. They actually have a bakery down there, too. It's really delicious. Oh, my gosh. The food here is really good. And, of course, the pints for your favorite flavors of beer are certainly available for you.

Taya Brewing at 1033 in Imperial Boulevard. 713212-579. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. It is in anything goes Friday here on the Matt Thomas Show at Ross. And Roger is first with us at 1022. Roger, good morning to you. Roger. Good morning, guys.

Where are you in the bathroom, Roger? Barely. What the hell are you? I'm in the office making a copy, and then I'm talking to Chris about what's going to happen over the weekend. But this is my, I want to apologize. Can I do, can I do two take, my apology and my take? You don't mind? You want to apologize right now?

Yeah, because I can't call later. I'm a prize for it. I want you to apologize for your bad phone line. Oh, okay. I apologize for that. Thank you. for my not being engaged and believe it or not yesterday because I was going through things and I decided to drag that nasty attitude with me so I apologize for that as well you guys are

like you guys are family you know that uh love you circle of trust status activated as always but uh you know that's my apology turn the page now i got to talk about the baseball MLB's got a problem with promoting games Houston Astros and the the stankies. Two mega teams, giants of the game right now, about to go full-scale nuclear and both teams fighting for the playoff relevancy. And we're giving these playtimes.

Tonight's not so bad, but, you know, Saturday and Sunday, even the novice of baseball fans, I think, would be engaged just to eight watch if nothing else, of nothing else. And I'm just saying this is why football is king, because they know how to flex games, they know how to promote. Wait, hold on. Roger, Roger.

Roger, what's the problem with the game times? Saturday at 12. Come on, man. Well, first of all, it's Saturday at 1 o'clock, and baseball has always played in a lot of cities in the afternoon. What's the issue with it being 1 o'clock in the East Coast? Because of the fact of these two teams battling for the playoff lives, you know, both teams that this is a big series.

Is it not? Pretty big series. Why would it... I don't... You know what? I just don't get why you'd be worried if the game was at 1 o'clock or 4 o'clock or 7 o'clock. That doesn't make any sense to me. Because people are doing things throughout the day and the weekend, Matt.

You know this. But Roger, what if you have plans? What if you're going out of the clubs tomorrow night? It means you're going to miss the game at 7 o'clock. And what happens? Don't happen at the club. That way you can see it. But I'm just saying, it's just my opinion.

My case. Okay. Roger, I love you. You're our favorite prize horror, but the timing of tomorrow's game makes nothing to do with anything about it, ruining the timing of the sport. Now, if you want to ruin the sport, put the game out at 1130 at night. I mean, midnight baseball is one thing, but no, it doesn't do with noon on a Saturday. That's 1 o'clock in the east.

It's fair, unfair. Thank you, Roger. I can't believe they do that. That's not the very first thing you're going to say joining the show today. I'm just kidding. That's kind of an all-timer from Roger there. I mean, look. Afternoon baseball?

We're coming after afternoon weekend baseball? Yeah. Hey, the Cubs, like that they like to be like Friday at 1 o'clock. The Yankees always play Saturday afternoon games unless they're on national TV, and they have 50,000 people at Yankee Stadium. People in New York don't seem to be worried about it. Yeah. I don't even have an answer for you.

It's August. It's August. What do we talk? talking about. Yeah, I mean, so if they put the game on at 7 o'clock at night, well, you're going to run into, no. Well, obviously you get more eyeballs if you're putting it on in the evening, but not, I don't know if that's a guarantee.

If you're not putting on national television. I would say yes. Yeah, Sunday night baseball and football or whatever, always, or Saturday, whatever, gets more eyeballs than during the day. Absolutely. I don't know. I think. But it doesn't matter.

It's a three game set in August. Yeah, I just don't get it. Me either. Roger. Roger the Pryor. God love him. Calling it is from his office bathroom. He was in the bathroom? Well, it sounded like it.

It sounded very hollow. On the speakerphone. Nobody wants to hear that. You know what the problem is, though, and honestly, is that people don't like putting their ears to the phone. I don't like doing it either. Now, I won't do it. I prefer to talk on the speaker when I'm by myself or I'm in the car, but I think it's very rude.

Like, I'll be brutally honest with you. Monday was that with my mother at the hospital. She had her surgery. And there was a woman that was on the speaker phone talking to family members about her situation with her family. And I heard every other conversation. I don't need that. No, we don't. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Ain't anybody got time for that. So shut your bum ass up. Go into a phone room or go outside and talk in her speaker, but I ain't get time. at the same thing at the airport, too. Stop speaker phoning at the airport and stop Face-timing at the airport. Yeah, I'm with you. It's too much. It's not courteous.

Not courteous at all. We always try to be courteous on this show. Not really. I can be rude as it gets. I always try to be courteous on this show. I do it minimally. Tim and Gabbleston, good morning. Good morning, Mr. Thomas.

Did you wake the strippers up yet? 12 o'clock. Thanks for listening. Oh, hey, I got a question for you. It's about these injuries with the Astros and the Texans. I figured since you're like a big sports aficionado, you could probably answer this question. Is it possible that they have the same doctors?

No. You sure? Because it kind of sounds that way. No, they have the same medical group, but they do not have the same doctors. That's the problem right there. I get it. All right. Well, anyway, I'm sitting down here on the seawall, and it's beautiful.

And, you know, what we got water down here, it's so clear. It's clearer than Destin, Florida, I swear. That's good to hear. I love Galveston. Yeah, bring up. Clear than Destin, Florida and Galveston? You heard him. Tim wouldn't lie to us.

Well, he probably would, number one. I would never lie to you guys. So kind of crazy windstorm must have blown in, and it's going to last about a good six hours. No, it's been here for a week, believe it or not, I swear. There you go. I don't believe you. Thank you, Tim. You know what?

I mentioned this before. I think you should call me Mr. Texas. Why? You're not even from here. I was, I was, I grew up, most of my life has been here. I'm 53 years old, and I've lived in this area. You know what that was rude. I'm sorry.

It's not rude. It's what you typically do. 41 of my 53 years of my life I've lived in this day. Okay. I love Galveston. Okay. And I love Lubbock. Okay.

I love Austin, where I'll be next week. I mean, I love it all. All right. Mr. Texas, Matt. Yeah. No one's more Texas than Matt Thomas. Yeah. You hear that? No. Mr. Texas. That's what I'll be referred to the rest of time.

All right. 713-212-5-7-98. We're off to a gangbusters start on today. Oh, my God. These phone calls have been amazing. Can y'all top that last two phone calls, if you can? 7-1-3-1-2-5-7-90. All right, Ross.

We're going to take a timeout, and the Astros better start wanting to win because apparently they didn't want to win Wednesday in Miami. Well, yeah, that's true because they sat Jeremy Pena. They set Jeremy Pena, which means they didn't want to win the game. Oh, my gosh. That's a serious hot take I heard on this radio station. 1029 on Sports Talk 790. 7-1-3-212-5.790.

We're live at Taya Brewing. Bob's show at Ross. Bob just came by wearing his Astro's shirt. Good for him. Fill out an entry form. Could get some Astor's tickets. Rossi, 17 pints. Can we, if we took one sip?

You're doing 17 pints? Well, there's 17 over there today. Here, tell you bro. Okay. Just saying. I could try them all on flights. Now, if you want to try me all on pints, you're going to have to carry me out of here. That's true.

By the way, naked gun review coming up at $10.50. Okay. So, be ready for that. Wonderful. Johnson wanted me to give a precursor, and I'm like, I just said, all the thing I said was I barely laughed about four times. Only four and two hours. Hours?

Movies like an hour 20. Oh, hour 20. Oh, they mailed it in. By the way, Pamela Anderson, who doesn't wear makeup anymore, she did wear makeup in the movie. Okay. She still is a looker. I mean, she's still good. Beauty is ageless, Matt.

I'm glad you said that. By the way, why am I not Mr. Texas? Uh-oh. Is it because of brisket enchiladas? Somebody's making some good points. Go ahead. Mr. Texas, first of all, it was cyanide Vader, said Mr. Texas doesn't like chorizo. So that's not a Texas thing.

What? Oh, okay. Where is this person's tweet? I don't even see it. You probably blocked or muted them. What is this? I retweeted it. So if you want to find me at SportsRV,

you could also follow me on Instagram at SportsRV. I wouldn't do either one. I would really appreciate you follow me on my Instagram at SportsRV. All right. Let me see yours. I don't see where you're retweeted. And then he said, Chorizo, which you come on, man.

You got to like Jorizo if you're Texan. And then you don't like enchiladas or brisket. You're out. You've been voted out, actually. We spoke to the committee. There's been a coup stage. You are no longer Mr. Texas. I don't know.

Who's Mr. Texas? Probably Nolan Ryan. I reek of Texas. No, you don't. I love... Beaumont. I am... Okay, just because you love trash towns.

Does it make you Mr. Texas? Lubbock. Shout out to Galveston. So just because you love all the meth hubs doesn't mean you're Mr. Texas. Now, see, if you're... You can't call our state a home of meth hubs. Yes, I can. See, first of all, I lived my entire life in Texas.

Second of all, I can recognize. It's like, you know, you're a brother or your cousin. You can recognize they're not perfect. You still love them. I can recognize Galveston ain't perfect. I still love it. I still love Galveston. You still go to Mip.

You S talking constantly. I still go to Mimpin Muff. Wait. Excuse me what? Crimp and Cruff. I still go to crimping and cruff. We still go to Mito's. I still go down there and breathe in that seaweed air.

I still go. Oh, my God. But I also recognize that it's not a destination for people across the country. Let me tell you call me, if you call my phone, my phone will ring, God bless Texas. That is not true. You don't know that. Let it be from our hey Jude. To the phones we go.

And anything goes Friday, by the way, review again of. When's that coming up? And 14 minutes. I can't wait. Brian McTaggart at 11 o'clock. Actually, maybe I'll tune out. This microphone is limp, by the way. Well, perk it up.

Can we stiffen it up a little bit? If you twist this little part, sometimes that helps. Okay. So twisting gets it harder. Yeah, you'll twist. It's actually pretty nice. Oh, don't do that. That feels bad.

You're twisting up the wire. I didn't mean that. Oh, my God. We'll get you another headset. Yeah, I was going to say it's not great. Good God. Yankees Keith is what is... Oh, boy.

This ought to be a real gem. Hello, Keith. Good morning. How are you all? Great. The guy's name is pronounced Cam Slittler, like Slitts, malt liquor, bull.

Secondly, I want to be the first to apologize. Schlitter. I apologize to all you Astros fans because y'all are going to get a serious ass-flipping this weekend. All three games. As long as they don't put in, Devin Williams. If they put in Devin Williams, you got a shot. Well, Aaron Bull loves Devin Williams.

We go kick some egg. Well, Aaron Boone likes being the small spoon with Devin Williams. Yeah. He got pictures of... Devin Williams got some nasty pictures of Aaron Boone. That's why he puts him in all the time. And then they go over the fence. By the way, do you know who's favored in today's game?

Sure it's going to be us, no matter what you say. I'm looking at ESPN bet right now. The Astros on Moneyline are minus 110. Bukies are not always right, Matt. I'm sure you know that. That's true. No, no, no. I've been told Vegas is always right.

So sorry. Nobody's not one person's told you that. You lose. Sorry, Vegas ain't wrong. First of all, the Yankees are minus 110 as well, so it's even. Don't be ready for a serious ass-whip in this weekend. All right, you better call us on Monday. You better call us on Monday.

You have to Hunter Brown throws seven innings of one-run ball, and then Frumber Valdez is out there. taking deep breaths and sweating his ass off, but snapping curve balls and getting ground balls, and then Aaron Judge whiffed 77 times this weekend. You better call us on Monday. Yes. Do you have three sad songs y'all going to play for Monday after you?

Because you played a sad song when you lost the other day. You got three sad songs lined up? No, we're playing New York, New York, Frank Sinatra, after this sweep. Yeah, right. Later. Is that the best smack talk we have? I don't know. Yankees, Keith is our only regular Yankees' goal. What about James and Godnokes wants to talk about the Yankees?

James going to call 66 WFAN, Staten Island James and God Noakes. Getting in and get your calls in? Tell me about Don Maddingly. Betty over on Aaron Judge Whiffs. You know Astros pitching always owns him. How about John Colonel Stanton? Him too. Well, actually, I'm kind of scared of John Carlos Stanton. He's hit a lot of home runs against the Astros. A lot of whiffs, but that's also his life. Does Brett Garner still play for them?

I don't think so, Matt. God, he's like 51s playing left field occasionally. I don't think they got Bernie Williams and the boys out there. Where's Jeter? Jeter. His old ass, should have retired. I can't believe he made him. He had such an ego.

He stayed at shortstop when Alex Rodriguez, the Superior Shortstop came into the organization. You know, it's so crazy because people, you know, the Yankee fan, you can't build you. You can't build a new Yankee Stadium. The other one's a museum. People love New Yankee Stadium. I love New Yankee Stadium.

I've been there twice. It's spectacular. I've never been there. It's beautiful. So Fenway Park guy? Yeah. You know what? I get it that you appreciate the nostalgia, but creature comforts are pretty good, too.

Plus, we're fatter. Yeah. And you've got to tape phone books around your torso so you don't get stabbed. That is true. That is true. All right. 713-212-5-790. 713-212-5-7-90.

Again, we got Brian McTegger coming up. People are crushing me for saying bad things about Beaumont. Sorry, lovely town. Let me tell you something. I love you, Beaumont. I tolerate you, Lufkin. Nacadoja has a nice, Ronic. I mean, it's fine.

I'm sure they got a me-me-me-me-you. What? A me-m-mue. That's what I like about Texas. A married-me. Oh. Were they grill and chill? Yes.

And you get fish sandwiches? The haddock was good. You got a corn dog. You throwed that quick. It was 99 cents. And never again. Never again, folks. I loved corn dogs.

I got to be honest with you. I mean, whoever created the corn dog? Legendary. Yes. Well, Fletcher's original cornie. Are you coming to OU, Texas this year? No chance. You know what?

At least you didn't lie. Several years you're like, no, I'm coming, Ross. I'm dead serious. No, I need to be in a suite, and they don't have sweets at the Cottonwall. Oh, my God. Now, I'll tell you what, if they move the game to Ray Rear and Ray Stadium? No, no. Keep it at the fair park.

Stop. It's a lot of crime over there. There's no crime. I've been there six times. I haven't gotten robbed once. You've been stabbed, though. Oh, four, five, I mean. Let's go to Bradley on 7 on a.

Hello, Bradley. Hi. I want to talk about, I don't think Hector Neris was the first three-time Astro. I think it was a guy named, I think his name was Xavier Hernandez, a pitcher, a relief pitcher for the Astros from Beaumont. And he was drafted in that winter draft. And he's the only one I know that ever stayed. Okay, Bradley, this is very nice you to bring this up, but we didn't even talk about this.

What made you think of this? Okay. Thank you. Who brought it up? No, what made you bring? Are you listening to another radio station? It's been on my mind because I think I've been remembering this for years, at least in the back of my mind I have.

And I just thought maybe, you know. Who said that Hector Nairis was the first three-time Astro? I thought it was said when he came back This time I didn't hear that You listen to a different radio station Bradley tell the truth No sir

I listened to you all religiously I heard this on the TV Oh I got some more trivia John Singleton is the first seven time Astro I got news free John Singleton's had two numbers retired by the space Cowboys

Y'all are so messed up Shout out to you, John. We appreciate you. Thank you for your service. All right. Short time out. Okay. We've had four doozy phone calls already in the show.

I see the people didn't want to come to Talley to get drunk. They're already drunk at home. If you're all going to drink, you might as well come here. Well, people are saying the Marconi people are not asking for this first hour. That sucks. We put the good effort in. I think so. well not me

yeah you barely have been here 713 212 5790 it's and anything goes Friday my review of the naked gun Kyle wants to say hi to me and Ross okay that sounds good we'll take that anything else and Brian McTaggart at 11 o'clock on Sports Talk 790

all right so I told the audience you were in your meeting with Walmart to brand new 790 sponsor yes we can we don't have to rhyme them we don't have to rhyme we love Walmart we live for Walmart express delivery under an hour you want to send me some of like You got you, bro. Thank you, bro.

All right. So I went to the movie theater yesterday. There were six of us. The Thomas Family Four, because daughter Carly's too bougie for the movie with her family. What? Oh, yeah. And there were teenage girls. And there were two people in front of us.

There were six of us, which is not a great sign for the movie. It was a 545 movie. On a Thursday? Yeah. Yeah, it should be more. Summertime. I mean, it is what it is. Where were you guys?

Tomball? No, King One. Okay. Tom. I don't go to Tomball in the movie theater. That's kind of far. They got the big IMAX out there All right

Where's my music? Yeah, yeah We did some more music Was this song in the movie? Uh, at the very end Okay This is a great song This is a great theme like

Yeah, yeah, yeah TV, it was from police squad And then they used it in the naked guns All right, hit it back, Jonathan Yeah, yeah Yeah, crank this up Oh yeah A little waltz with your lady to this one

All right, so Go ahead, Ross, Give out the reviews According to Rotten Tomatoes In your analysis of it Yes, I'm stalling because you told me to bring it up and I forgot. 89% fresh on the tomato meter. Now, for those of you playing at home,

tomato meter is the critics. Popcorn meter is the movie goals. Tomato meter, 89%. Very good, especially for a slapstick comedy. Yes. Popcorn meter, 75%. How's that rated? How's that? 75% it's good, but normally the popcorn meter is higher,

especially in comedy from that. tomato. All right. So, knowing what you know about the naked gun movies, okay? Uh-huh. You know you're not looking for Oscar-winning performances. It's going to be a joke a minute, slapstick. It is everything goofy, breaking the fourth wall, everything.

Potty humor, all that stuff. Everything's fair play. Everything is fair play. It's basically my life in a nutshell, okay? I told this to the audience, and Jonathan wanted me to give you a teaser earlier. there were four or five moments that I belly laughed. Like full on deep guffaw. Like guffaw.

And I felt maybe I could get away with it because there was only six people in the movie theater. Okay. Three or four times. Really, really, really, really funny. Okay, good. Like close your eyes funny. Not like chuckle. This is a, oh my God, I'm laughing as dirt.

That's good. The movie sucked. What? What? So you would not rate it fresh? I would give it a negative rating. I would rate it stale. Give it 1 to 10, remembering that you gave Happy Gilmore for a calibration versus,

you gave that a 5. Here's how Gilmowing to me. 10 to a 7 to a 5 to a 1. So I gave it a mid 5. Okay. The chuckles were so good. I'm going to give it a really high grade on the chuckles. But the overall storyline and towards the end were so...

If I gave Happy Gilmore and Five, I probably give Naked Gun. Oh, God. A four? Really? A four. And remember, I was not looking for any sort of deep premise. No. Oh, man, this is disappointing.

How was Liam Neeson's performance? Belly laugh moments. Okay. Pamela Anderson was okay. the rest of the characters in the cast really stupid and a waste of time how was o j simpson uh he didn't make one small appearance

oh really for like five seconds oh yeah that's right it was in the trailer right cody roads w w champion was in it for a very short period of time there was one second of priscilla presley in the movie really yes but knowing that i airplane is my favorite movie of all time.

Uh-huh. That's the kind of genre that I like. Same genre. Same ballpark. It didn't hit. If you loved Naked Gun like I did, and even like Naked Gun 33 and a third or whatever it was, it got a little wacky. It got a little...

But one and two were really good, I felt like... One and two was good. Three... Is it too much to ask you for one to ten on those? Too long ago? Too long ago, but I would say probably Naked One... Nine, Naked Two, Eight. This was...

If I'm using nine and eight, I'm using four on this. But again, Liam Neeson, three or four, really funny, really, really funny moment, really better laugh moments. But generally speaking, I was, we were, because I was waiting to see if other people were laughing and I just wasn't getting things, nobody was laughing. You know what, maybe if you saw a full, a full theory of people laughing, it would have been better. But I will say this in my defense, of the six of us that were there, the four moments that I did laugh, I laughed the hardest. Oh, okay. I was a hearty laugh. else hated it.

Well, my wife hated it. Oh, my sons. One thought it was a seven. One thought it was a six. But they feel like that's what kids do in 2025. But they make everything that's a six or a seven. You know, stand on something. Stand on business. Yes.

Not everything in life can be a six or seven. That's what Matt Thomas told a young Ross in the business. Had an opinion. Yeah, Mr. Texas says six or sevens aren't unacceptable. No, I didn't say that. No, I'm Mr. Texas. I told you you've been dethroned. They hate you in both.

You're out. All right. So I'm sorry. And look, if any of you saw it and want to argue with me, I'll accept it. Okay. If you want to agree with me, I'll accept that as well. And I'll cherish that at 713212-5-790. So unfortunately, for someone who was ready for the juvenile humor, there wasn't enough of it.

But again, I will say in fairness, there were three or four scenes that made me better laugh. Frankly, I'll give you a small hint. Every time coffee was involved, I laughed. Hey, come on, man. That's all I'm going to say. No spoilers. No spoilers. It's all I'm going to say.

All right. Any electric car. Kyle in Pearland. Hello, Kyle. Is this MT, Mr. Texas? I am. Oh, wow. God bless Texas, everybody.

Hey, listen, if we're going to be Mr. Texas, you're going to bring the McRib to be the official food of Texas? Yes, sir. This is how you get kicked out of Texas. I got new. like actual good slow-smoked ribs. Let me tell you, Kyle. Not discussing pressed pork gristle sandwiches.

You people are sick. As Mr. Texas, I believe in three things. Oh, my God. The McRib? Yeah. I believe in 17 brands of Italian brewing, and I believe that you can put beans and chili and not be judged. You're not getting out of the primaries.

You also want beans and chili, too? I'm on opposed. Oh, my God. I'm not opposed to it. Not opposed. Beans and chili. Put your beans in there. No enchilata.

I ain't judging you. You hate it. enchiladas. I do hate enchiladas. Oh, my God. You were the worst Mr. Texas in history. No. No, I am so good.

I have the belt around my waist to the rest of my life. Mr. Lone... They're going to call me... They're giving me the key to the entire state. No. Because, you know what? It's not like a wolf running for Mr. Chicken coop.

I'm not going to shame you for one and put beans in your chili. Now, I can't have it either way. I like it both ways. Oh, my God. But if you want beans your chili, God bless you. You can get them. You're just wrong. God bless Texas.

Texas chili, they will throw. throw you out of a Texas chili competition if you put beans in it. You're out. I'm not going on competition. Oh, my God. I don't enjoy it. I'm sorry. Let the call. The caller had a point. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Kyle.

You know, being that you're the president, you can have him removed. Yes, I can. I'm going to lean on Doug with your ass. What I'm going to do right now. That's what I'm going to do. I don't get that reference. Hey, I haven't talked to you guys in a while.

I've been out and sick. I'm feeling better, and I just wanted to say hello and miss you guys. Good. Thank you, Kyle. Good to hear that you're feeling better. Appreciate the phone call. Real quick, before we get to Brian McTaggart, Philip and Pearland, man, we're crushing in Pearland. Another great community in my state. Hello, Philip. Brian McTaggart's more Mr. Texas than you. Hi, Philip. Be nice. No, Matt, I agree with you 100%. I mean, even our favorite movie of all time is the same. Airplane is it.

But, yeah, this, I was, you know, I wasn't expecting much. I enjoyed the coffee bits, but I thought Matt after a while. That got tired towards the end. Like you said, about a handful of some really killer belly laughs. But otherwise, yeah, I can't recommend it. I don't know if I'd be as harsh as to give it before I was thinking about giving it, you know, a Gen Z, Millennial 6. But otherwise, you know, the number is the number. I don't know.

We could argue that. But, yeah, it's not good. Not good. Thank you, fellow. And Ross, remember? Yes. I saw the reviews, and I was so happy that I was like going to get there and enjoy every minute of this. Because, again, my humor is sophomoric. I fully admit that. Maybe your expectations are too high.

Now my expectations are low. So maybe I'm going to enjoy it. Will you go see it, please? I'm not going to the theater now. So you're going to wait to see what I get. Maybe half price Tuesday. Even then the popcorn's not half price. How much did it cost you in the family?

With tickets, $100. Oh, that's actually not that bad. It wasn't. It wasn't bad. You must have smuggled in some good snacks. No, actually, here's the problem. You had a trench coat full of snacks, huh? We over-ordered our popcorn.

How do you over-order? You get a large and get unlimited refills? No, I couldn't eat the whole thing. Oh, okay. I got a large for myself and I couldn't finish it. What, dang? Well, yeah, that's normal, Matt. You know, a stomach full of a large popcorn?

Well, I'm just saying. That's not good for anything. We're Italian brewing. Brian McTaggart to join us. Next, 713212-5-790. 11.02, sports talk, 790. We're at Talier Brewing, 1033, Imperial Boulevard in Sugarland. Come on by, have some lunch.

Ross and I are about to order a sausage and pepper pizza. Can we eat it on there? Well, I mean, how's that, did he differ from any other day? Oh, my God. You're the worst. Almost are calling you out. By the way, again, I do like brisket. Ross is just embellishing something.

I've introduced you to Good Brisket. And did I eat it? Yes, you did. So shut your bum ass up. Let's get our buddy and Brian McTaggar normally with us on Thursdays, but he's with us here on a Friday getting ready for the Astros versus the Yankees. Brian, how ashamed should the Astros be for not playing Jeremy Payne on Wednesday because they lost the game? Well, yeah, I mean, I get the frustration because of that because he came back and played, what, two games?

you know he did have the little thing with the hamstring where they kept him out of game but it sounded like this was all pretty funny I think this isn't really Joe's spot of the decision this is the training staff saying hey he's got to

play here here and then he'll probably need to get here but it seemed like once he plays to bed it just could be I mean I was a guy who had played it every game before he got hit with that pitch so he's frustrating yeah but was it the reason they lost the game you know they had a lot

other chances to be in a big hit and they just couldn't get it down. Well, first of all, I was certainly embellishing a little bit. We're going to try, matter of fact, can you try to call, Jonathan, can you try to call Brian on a different line on one of the Colorado lines? Because he was swimming in a bunch of water. Yeah, I think that's his. You must have been in Galveston Bay. You never know.

No, I think he's in New York. No, he's actually here, I think. Oh, he is? Yeah. Okay, never mind. So we will try to reestablish Brian McTagger down on a different line. And so I was being, frankly, very tongue-in-cheek when I said that.

Okay. So, yeah. The Astros will start a three-game series of the Yankees, and we'll talk to Brian more about that in just a couple of seconds here. We'll hopefully get a clear line on that. By the way, at 1130, we've got Amsari's coming up today. At 12 o'clock with the strippers up, we have non-floor stories at 130.

My non-floor story, Ross, is a doozy, and it's here from Houston. It's a specialty when you get a story from Houston, Texas. All right, so let's get back to Brian McGrathes. tagger with us here on the show. So Brian, look, the Astros did not do well in Boston. That seriously hurt them. The two out of three in Miami was good. Unfortunately, the White Sox did the Astros no favors. This is as tight as it's been. And it's not about what happened this week. It's basically been what the Astros have been for a better part of a month now. What are we seeing in your eyes from the Astros in the last month that we did not see maybe in the

previous month when they were playing all those first place teams and being them on a regular basis? Well, I think the injuries just cut up with them. I mean, they, you know, Pena was out for a good stretch of that. Myers has been out for a good stretch of that. You know, they're slowly starting to get, you know, their starters back. But, you know, I just think they lost their horses. I mean, ever since sweeping the Dodgers in L.A., they're 9 and 16, and, yeah, the Mariners

now are right on their heels. But the lineup looked a lot better in Miami. I mean, Sanchez is going to make a big difference. Chris. Cray is going to make a big difference. Pena being back is going to make a big difference. And, you know, now they've got a chance to get Javier back soon. So I think they've weathered the worst of the storm, but the Mariners aren't going anywhere. So they're going to have to fend them off here for the next six weeks. So do you think it's a case of, I don't know, is it just getting guys back and expecting too much right away?

Like, for instance, everybody thinks, Brian, when and if Yordon comes back, this offense is going to be a pro-leaf. This is a guy that hasn't swung a bat in a regular season game since May. Unfortunately, you want to temper expectations, but at the same time, Brian, you're in the middle of a pennant race, down about 50 games left that go in the year. The time for experimenting is largely over here. Yeah, you're right. I mean, is he going to come back and what are you going to get out of him? I mean, Pena has come back and looked pretty good at the play, but he didn't miss as nearly the amount of games as Jordan has.

and he wasn't dealing with a hand injury. But again, you'd rather have him in the lineup and see what he can do than not. And he just, you know, he strikes the fear of God and opposing pitchers. So, but, you know, I think offensively they're going to be fine. I mean, Sanchez looks like he can really make a difference hitting the ball hard. The lineup is just deeper. You just don't have like that bottom three where you're like, maybe these are automatic outs.

You just don't have that anymore. You know, if I think it out, I'll pass, bad, that's doubt. get Paredes back. It doesn't seem like that's a realistic thing, but if they can get some pitchers back, maybe they can hold this thing together and win the division. And with Yordon and talking about him coming back, what did you make of all the comments about him in the injury? It needs surgery, but they can't get surgery there. Does it sound like maybe he does need an off-season procedure, but they don't want to miss him for the season, so he's going to try to heal up and try to play through the pain? What did you make of all that?

because just asking how close to 100% do you guess that Yoron can be physically? Well, it's hard to know. I mean, we were told the hand, the broken bone, he'll, I think about a month ago, we're in Colorado, and then the inflammation came out and he got a shot. And so the fact that we're still, you know, where he's at and taking batting practice is, you know, pretty troublesome. I mean, he's had hand injuries before.

So I don't know if there's anything they can do surgery-wise. I mean, I think they probably would have done it by now, because this is just dragged on for so long. So who knows? I mean, I guess we'll find out at some point he's going to go and play in a AAA game or whatever, and maybe you can get back. But it's hard to count on him being in the lineup at this point when he's just been out for so long. Ryan McTagher with us here on the radio program.

Isaac Peretti's not going to have the surgery. We're going to have that injection if you already had. So what was your thought about that? and realistically, is that just a player going, you know what? I don't want to go on to the knife. I want to do whatever I can. And if he comes back at all, that would be considered gravy, right? In some respects?

I think you're totally right. I mean, look, they put him on the 60-day aisle the other day, which would take him to, I don't know the exact day, but somewhere around September 15th, 16th. So even if he comes back, you're talking on the last 10 games of the regular season. I think it's a really, really long shot. I mean, all we heard for a couple weeks was, you know, a severe injury. An injury is going to, you know, the report she's going to be out for the year.

But, yeah, I think it's sort of a Hail Mary on Eastock's part to try to get back to this lineup. And, hey, if it works great, if not, you know, they went out and got Carlos Correy to play third base. And so they should be set there. But I just wonder if he doesn't get back, if they'll go ahead and have the surgery and, you know, will that take him out in the next year as well? But I guess hats off for Eastok to try to rehab this thing. getting back on the field. You mentioned Carlos Correa. Just your evaluation of the three moves,

obviously a very short sample size, but the guys that the Astros at at the deadline and how you feel, not only how they've played, but how they've been used. Yeah, you know, Sanchez hitting up in the lineup play mostly left field. I mean, he certainly hits the ball hard. He gives you that threat from the left side that you needed, a little more balance at the top of the lineup,

which they didn't have. He seems to be a super likable guy, I think that's fit in pretty well so far. And Correa is Correa. I mean, it came back in like he'd ever left. He's sitting there with, you know, Jose Altuvae to his side. Marvin Gonzalez was in the clubhouse in Florida. It was like everyone, the band was getting back together.

But, you know, having him play third base, you know, I think he'll do really well over there. You know, he brings the better leadership as well. And he's just a guy that can sort of fill in and gives you another one of those utility players like Duvonne. I mean, I think there were all three great moves. I know they wanted to get a starting pitcher and a reliever. the cost was too high, and I totally get that. They're sort of rolling the dice here with their rehabbing starters coming back and hoping that they can give them something down the stretch.

A couple more minutes here with Brian McTaggart, MLB.com with us here. What do you see in terms of playing time the rest of the way for Cam Smith, especially with the fact you've got Jesus now on this baseball team. You've got some utility players. You can move around. You can move Dubon to the outfield if you needed to. And again, if Yordaun comes back, that may precipitate Jose going to left field.

What is Cam's, unless again, a high street comes into play, which very well could, but obviously his last month has not been his best month that's a major league. Yeah, I could see him losing the best to Sanchez for sure. Sanchez's playing, you know, right field and starts and right against left-handers. And I guess right-handers, sorry, and Cam starting and right against lefties. You will have the Jordan situation when he comes back. So I think this detraege will just cut into his bats a little bit, especially if he continues not to be productive.

There was a game in Miami. He had a couple of hits, but still he's come up in some big spots and not been able to get it done. So, you know, at this point in the season, you can't afford to run a guy out there who is struggling to play. And now they have options where they can start somebody else. And Urius gives them good at bats and can play some positions and they could put somebody else in right field, like you said,

whether it's Sanchez or somebody else, to get those at bats until Smith can get going. Last thing, Brian, I think I know the answer to this, but I want to get it from your perspective. The most encouraging thing about the Astros, the rest of the way to me is the lineup is lengthened. Now that you have Sanchez, now that you have Cardo's Correa,

you've got Jeremy Payne back. That, to me, is the most encouraging thing about the rest of the way. What do you think is the biggest alarm going off in the Astros organization with these 50-year-so games? games left to go. I think it's probably depth of depth of pitching, both starting and relieving. I mean, Eric Getty's first start didn't go well. Yeah, he was a little rusty, so, you know, you give him another one. Javier hasn't

thrown the ball great in his rehab starts, but, you know, he's going to be coming up here. Luis Garcia threw the ball really well last night at AAA, so that's a positive. But even on the relief side, I mean, who do you trust, you know, beyond those last two guys and a brayer and hated? I mean, they went out and got a reliever, signed a reliever yesterday who had been with the Braves and a guy that throws hard and maybe they can change some of his usage and he can become a key guy.

But do they have enough weapons in the bullpen? Is there enough starting pitching depth that can match them up and get them through a long seven-game series? Great stuff, my friend. Thank you for the time. As always, look forward to hearing you with the A team as part of the On-DEC show tonight later on this evening. Thanks for the time.

We'll talk again back on a regular Thursday spot next week. Sounds good. Thanks for having. Thank you. Brian McTagger with us here on sports talks of any. I mean, you agree, right? It's pitching. Isn't it strange? Concern? Yeah, we've kind of flipped on its head. You went from, okay, all these guys are coming back to, the Astros weren't afraid to kick tires on pitching.

And almost had Dillen C's. Almost. Almost. The price was too rich, apparently. The price was too high. Didn't want to give up that guy that went three and a third and gave up like five runs. I'm kidding. I wouldn't give up Aragutti either for a rental. That's right. Yeah, it's funny. When you do rentals, you would think, well, it's going to deal done right now. Every single time you ask that, the pitcher says, I want to test for agency. I want to see what I do here. Because I think we do the exact same thing.

They're betting on themselves, which doesn't always work out. All right, we're at Taya Brewing, 1033 Imperial Boulevard, will be here until 2 o'clock this afternoon. 5-7-90 if you want to chime in. 7-13-212-5-7-9. 11-15. We've got I'm sorry's coming up at the bottom of the hour. We'll get to the Texans and how their safety is feeling, at least from what we know from last night. We'll do that next here on 7-90.

All right, we got I'm sorry's coming up in about 10 minutes. I'm sorry that you're not here at Taya Brewing because we're going to have some pizza here in a little bit. And I believe we've got some Astro tickets we want to give away today. I don't know where Gordie went. I think Gordy is on some Montgomery, Alabama radio station right now. I think he's had six beers already. Has he really?

No. That's not good. Why not? Well, I mean, it's 1119. Yeah, you work the overnight shift. He's doing good. Oh, there he is. He does have a pint in there.

That's good. That's really good. You have a pint. Have a pint. Christopher Gordy. How about a nice pint of Irish beer? 17 different beers on tap. Do you have an Irish red?

I don't know. Just say, yeah. Probably not. It's fine. Don't lie. I'll get a list. Okay. You do believe it or not. Is this a beer here at Tyre Bruy? Oh, we could, except we're not going to.

No, that's fine. All right. 713-212-5-7-0. So Aaron Wilson put out really early evening that C.J. Garner Johnson had the torn ACL. And then the other national folks said, no, he does not. Clearly some bad information was given. I know Aaron quickly retracted that and said, hey, that there's hope that this is not going to be anything super, super serious. I don't know. It's the knee. They were down on a knee.

I don't know if it's semantics. I don't know if it's the text is trying to control the message or just Aaron got some horrifically bad information. Yeah. But I'm not in an... I didn't all of a sudden cheer with that second report came out.

Now, it was... I did. Did you really? Yeah, why not? You heard it's not an ACL? That's good. I don't know. It's not as serious?

But, man, when it was non-contact, Oh, I thought it was described as he was during a tackle. Well, I just saw one report. Again, who knows who's to say? Point being is this, if he comes back, that should be a blessing. But if he's, Ross, if he misses eight to 12 weeks, what does that necessarily? I mean, does somebody come in in week nine of the season and his pickup where he left up?

I don't know. Well, eight to 12 weeks from now is week four or five or whatever. At the minimum, right. So, again, the Texas won't really owe anybody anything in terms of a report until late tomorrow. unless Casarro calls, you know, Diana Resini or one of those people. Eight weeks from today is September 3rd. 12 would be... Oh, wait, am I stupid?

No, I'm stupid. Yeah, you're stupid. Me not for that, but for other reasons. Sorry, October 3rd. Okay, so... That's okay. Again, I saw that, I'm like, all right, that's fine. Again, who knows?

I mean, I just don't know if all of a sudden... He's going to miss this period of time that he's going to pick up where he left off. Because again, I felt the exact situation I felt like Eastside Parades. He's taking the PRP shot to hopefully recuperate. If he comes back and does anything, that's a blessing. But I just, I don't know. The cynic in me says this is a precursor to something that's going to ultimately cost him perhaps the entire season. Hope I'm wrong.

Well, I'll wait to hear more information on the matter. Jimmy Ward got arrested again last night. Oh, nice. How's he doing? The third one's free, I think. Not great. he had alcohol and apparently he did not realize he wasn't supposed to have alcohol during this probationary time he was an accident i accidentally got drunk on probation you did go to the air quotes on that yes i did

i do have it in the drafts what was your favorite jimmy warn of the texan moment he is 34 years old they need them though well especially with garner johnson out for sure well what kind of suspension is the nfl going to put out i'll first thing i get the legality's taken care of yeah It's not good. Come on, Jimmy. Now, was he, I don't know the details of it. Was he, he had to be out and about it. Because if you drink alcohol at your house, I'm going to say something about it.

Nobody. Yeah, I don't know. Are they knocking down your door, giving you a breathalyzer? I don't know. I mean, they very well could, right? Yeah, I don't know. I would think if I'm on suspicion of assault charges, I'm going to church six days a week. Third degree felony assault.

That was the family-related one that was in June. Yeah. Does it feel like to you, though, and maybe because we're in Houston, in the wheat we haven't had a lot of this to deal with lately but it feels like even the NFL has had lesser situations like this wasn't there a stretch about five or six years ago where there were guys driving

and getting in accidents and tolling vehicles you had the Henry Rugg situation we can go back to Dante Stalworth who was little or whatever was it Levyon Bell that shot himself or who shot himself no Plaxico Burr shot himself that's right you know what I mean that was just an idiot he's just But you know what I mean?

I don't know. That's a dumb ass. The domestic stuff. The Ray Rice was huge. Choking out your wife is way worse. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. But, I mean, the Ray, I'm not saying that the NFL's full of choir boys, but it feels like that we haven't had to have this conversation. Man, the Ray Rice thing was so bad because, I mean, if, remember it was like they did like a one or two game to suspension and then the video came out?

Yeah. And Roger's like, well, we already made our decision. Sorry. No, but then, yeah, there was a firestorm and they linked into it, right? Yeah. So I don't know. Look, I think you and I, when you were first doing the show of a guy, I said, does the average NFL athlete commit more crimes than the average human being does? And we wouldn't look it up, and it just doesn't.

No. I think it's less. Because you're talking about 1,600 players compared to the general population. Yeah, there's a very positive correlation between lack of finances and crime. Correct. Right. The more desperate you are financially, the more likely you are to commit crimes. There's also a certain.

that says that the more money you have, the more chances you know what, you're more invincible. You're right. Also, the notorious B.I.G said, more money, more problems. Thank you, notorious for selling. Do you call him notorious? Is that what you call? I call him Chris Wallace. What does his friends call him?

Big. Do they? Okay. Big Papa. B.I.G. Biggie Smalls. Well, he's got a lot of different pops. Yeah.

A lot of different names. Well, he's also dead. Oh, sorry about that. That's okay. I didn't do it. How long you do it? How long has even gone? 1997. March?

March. March? of 97? He doesn't really know what the internet is. Well, I mean, he might have had an AOL account. I don't know. He might have had a MySpace page. You never know these things.

I don't know. Big Biggie had a MySpace page? May he rest? I don't think so. Okay. All right. So, needless to say, Texans tomorrow, by what, did you see Anthony Richardson got hurt Pinky yesterday in the Colts game? Yes.

CJ, you're not playing tomorrow. Sorry, you're not. Now with that crappy offensive line you got. Well, they had five, a lot of, you know, there's a lot of film, film gurus on the Twitter sphere now. You know what? I did a deep film study on myself last night. Yeah, they had five on six. He's supposed to throw out

hot quick and he did not. So it was his fault. They're calling it. Most everybody's calling it Anthony Richards' isn't fault. The gurus. He was one of the Nirolovskys, the Mitchell Schwartz's, the number four overall pick, right? Yes, and I

did this last year before the season even started. Put my name on it because there was all this Anthony Richardson Sinepe. Go ahead. I said he will always be worse than C.J. Stroud. He just can't throw. I think he's a terrible decision-making.

Now, he's an athlete. He can throw the ball a country mile, as they say. He can also run. We saw that in his very, but he's running himself into concussions and injuries. That's just the reality. He's not, he ain't no C.J. Strang.

One of the cult's going to start, maybe the new, maybe with the Earth's same daughter now running things. I told you my conspiracy theory on that. Please. Because everyone who wanted Chris Ballard fired, and he would, have been justifiably fired. I think that was a Jim Mersey said. I love Anthony Richardson.

You know owners love. He runs a 4-3. He's 6'4-he-foot-4. He can throw the ball a mile. All the type of, kind of like the, what was it? The bum. What was his name?

Not bum. Why is it? His name escaped me. Who forced Vince Young to be, but Adams. And Vince Young. I see. That type of situation.

I think it was Anthony Richardson. You draft him. I'm going to take care of. you Chris Ballard. I think that was a Jim Mersey. Got a gut feeling. And wonder if the daughters are safe, you feel the exact same way.

Yeah, they might say, they said my dad was nuts. Daddy might have promised you you're safe, but we didn't promise you yet. That's right. That's right. All right. Time for you guys to apologize

to some people. I'm looking to you. What did I do? Constant ripping me of my awesome Texas takes. You want beans and chili? No, I said I'm not opposed to it. You want beans and chili.

I'm not opposed to it. You hate enchiladas. That is true. You don't like chorizo? Yeah, it's greasy. And you hate sweet tea. And you want to be Mr. Texas? People could drink tea without sweetener.

You can be grimace? All right. Little known fact. My favorite thing is Matt's fed up all right. I try to push him to that at least three times a day. A little known fact. One of the girls that does my, shaves my beard,

What are we doing on a drawing? Two o'clock. Two o'clock. Right at two o'clock. 159.59. Correct. Let's talk to Jeff on 790. Jeff, what are you saying you're sorry for?

Hey, Matt. I have to say I'm sorry to a group of drivers that were following me in central Texas last weekend. I was coming home from East Texas, stopped in Madisonville at Ruckies, decided to head over to Navasota on Highway 90, which is a two-lane, kind of a hilly, windy road, not much for passing. But I'm going above the speed limit, so it's no issues. And always, if I miss the Matt Thomas show with Ross,

I listen to the I Heart Radio app. And I was listening to Last Friday's show, and I kind of heard what I thought was Radio Gold. It was the part of the show where Jonathan decided to tell us all about his adolescent track issues and his nickname being blue. and your reaction was priceless, Matt, because I kind of felt like you were the father at the dinner table saying, son, we don't need to talk about this right now.

And Ross sounded like to mischief its older brother saying, no, we need to hear more about this. This is great. And I lost it. I was laughing so hard. My eyes were watering, tears. I had to slow down to finally find a place, and I had to pull over. and I'm sure the people behind me were wondering what the heck was going on with this guy in this vehicle.

And so I have to apologize to those drivers. You know what, Jeff, thank you so much, my friend. That makes our day right there. Thank you, Jeff. That was awesome. We appreciate you, and most of all, we appreciate hog nuts. Can we sit on a regular basis? I don't know.

Yeah, Ross is like this with the whistle. It makes me uncomfortable, but it's funny. it's just a funny word I don't know if it's the the tick of the tea or the hard G hog nuts it's a funny word

it's like you were going to Ruckies I'll take some salted I mean they'll tell you Gordy will tell this when you do stand-up comedy they find like certain emphasis and certain sounds are just funny yeah like that word

that the WMBA is having to use a lot One of them got thrown on the court again last night. Again? Yeah, that's now... This is an epidemic. Three or four of them. Wow. How are they smuggling these in the arenas?

That's what I want to know. Is it maybe it's a credentialed media that's putting it in their bags? Excuse me, I'm looking through your bag. I'm seeing a computer. I'm seeing a notebook. I'm seeing... Generally, metal detectors. It's not going to put a metal detector.

And I see sex toys. Once you got it motorized. I'm sorry. Four in one year. It's four in like two weeks? Yeah. Do you think somebody like is like, like there's a special security interest that you can just go in and sneak it in without it being an issue? They're like, oh, turning a blind eye to it.

I don't know. Maybe put it in your pocket. Maybe wear ginko jeans. All right. Jonathan, you're next because you need to apologize for what you did yesterday with one of our great callers. Willie, I hope you're listening. People that I don't know, I had took Willie as a caller. Ross and Matt had said, is this Willie a boy or is this Willie a girl?

And I rudely didn't even think to be like, oh, let me ask, I don't know. I just went up, oh, no, this is a dude. This is a man. And Willie was a woman. Came on air, had to say that. And I feel like that was so embarrassing just for me and her because she's a woman. I should have known that. And I want to have my deepest regards and say, I'm sorry to you. I'm sorry.

I hope you accept that. You don't have to. I perfectly understand. But I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. No, you need to apologize to me and Matt, too. Yeah, we know Willie. Willie is okay.

She's, she understands. And then he smugly told us, no guys. And y'all knew, you know what? We knew. We told you. We tried to prevent. Listen to the audio. Listen to how smug you're like, no guys.

Yeah, we try to prevent you from embarrassing yourself. To a very 22-year-old of you, Jonathan. I know everything. You know what? You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.

Thinking back on it, it was pretty bad. You go, all right. We accept your apology that I forced you to make. Yeah. I'm sorry. I want to say sorry to Cody Campbell, the big NIL guy from Texas Tech. Why? He's going to spend $30 million a year for the next two years for the Red Raiders to go 7 and 5 every year.

So I say to you, Cody, I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. They're in the top 25. They just landed another five-star recruit for not this year, but the next year. Yes, we talked about that when you were talking to friends at Walmart, yeah. So what name does it fit? South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas Tech. That was what the four he was narrowed down to.

Who got the most cash, man? Who got the most cash, sports army? And I'm okay with it. All right. And I'm not okay with something you tweeted yesterday. Please, tell me. When we come back? Oh, I know what it is.

I think that, and I'm going to disagree with you. Good. It's a grown man's game now. It's a grown man's. game. 713. 212. 790.

Here's the reality. We have James and Klein and Eric in Bay City in the line. Would you safely say two of our bottom 10 callers? James and who?

Eric and Bay City. Ooh. Yeah, James is fringe. Eric is bottom two. Oh. Okay, so if you think you're better than neither one of those two guys,

say you're sorry. No, you don't see. Yeah, you should call you say you're sorry. It's screaming children. It's screaming show. What's going on over here? I'm medicaid with another pint. That's right.

But you can't put beer in a sipicamp. You can't be doing that. Here's a little heffavising, Timmy. Come on. 1142. Come on and say you're sorry. 713, 212.1.5.7. We're Italian brewing.

1033 Imperial Boulevard. The pizzas have been ordered. Pickle ball. Ross and aren't going to put pickleball. We're at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Maybe now. I'm wearing sweats. I can't do that.

All right. 713, 23, 21, 2, 577. 719. 719. James is with us. James, what are you going to say sorry for? I apologize for DirecTV

if you're saying they didn't televise that Seattle game. I don't have direct TV anymore. I switched to Fubu. Fubu is the one who didn't televised that Seattle game. I also need to apologize to Ross.

He's here. Yeah, I need to apologize for Ross for accepting his friend requests on Facebook and he didn't follow me back. So there is that. Oh, what happened? I got a friend request from Ross on Facebook, and I confirmed it, and he never followed me, confirmed mine back.

Oh. What? Yeah. I don't know how I got a friend. You asked James to be friends with you. I have not sent a friend request since, like, 2007. Well, it must automatically send him out. Maybe it's Ross's a burner account.

Yeah, I was thinking that could be, you know, a new career change for me if I got Ross as a friend, but it didn't happen. be rush for your real or james well i i've never sent a friend request like i said since probably 2007 yeah um and

i accept actually every friend request i get so and he also hoards himself on an instagram yeah you want to follow me at sports rv and instagram i really would appreciate it all right so what's your problem with me from earlier from yesterday oh it's not a problem

What did you say? You want NIL deals published. Absolutely. Why? Because I think if we're going to treat these guys like they're going to pay employees, let's do it. Let's find out what they're making. Let's find out who's spending the money. Because Texas Tech is trying to buy a national championship. Literally.

Yeah, they're trying. This kid, this kid, Damien Guyton, no way know-how would give Texas Tech the time of day, if not for $900,000 he's going to make as a freshman day. Matt, you talk about how great Lubbock is. I love Lubbock. But please, this kid out of Georgia is going to go to Lubbock. He's got South Carolina, Texas Tech, Tennessee, and Georgia list. Look, I love Lubbock, but let's be real.

What's that thing on the assessment tree? What one thing is not like the other? Texas Tech, not like the other. Yeah, let's find out what these guys are making. Let's find out who's putting up the cash. It doesn't matter, but I don't understand why we need to know. I'd like to know. know we'd like to know. We're curious.

I don't think. I'm not demanding, we know. It seems like you're being a little demanding. No, it's the question out there looking for an open response. I mean, I'm happy for this young lad. Go on to Texas Tech, going to get a great Red Raider education and make a boatload of cash. Yeah. And if they go eight and five, he'll be blamed for it. And that big Cody Campbell dudes can be coming after him. And maybe it is good for the players to set their markets.

Isn't that why public, you know, like NBA and F, well, like the players want the contracts. The agents do, because the agents want to recruit more at players. They say, well, Agent A gets me this. Agent B only got me this. I'm going to go with Agent A if I'm a college player. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see with that, especially, I don't know, with public and private schools, freedom

information, although it's not payroll through them. It's funny. I was talking to my son. We were head of the movies yesterday, and you know, he's a big Texas tech guy. He's like, man, we're killing it. I'm like, man, you're killing because you've got cash. Stop. So what? He's like, I said, the pressure is huge on everybody in Texas Tech. Oh, no, it's not.

Pressure's never going to be on text take. Like, you're paying $30 million? Pressure is huge. Pressure is huge. Show up. McGuire's feeling the heat. He's on the hottest seat in the country. The hottest seat.

Let's go to Alex in Lake City at 1152. Alex, who are you apologizing for? And whom? Hey, guys. It's not me that needs to apologize, but I think Dan Matthews owes Matt an apology. Uh-oh. Go for it.

So it was either two. Tuesday or Wednesday morning as they were getting off the show, Dan said he was going to knock you out. Do you, did you catch wind of that? No, they told me about it. What happened? I'm not real sure about the details. They were talking about fighting and who they could fight at the station. And Dan says they can take me down.

And I'm okay with that because I can take him down with those horrific sports takes. And he called you a hall monitor. Hall monitors, snitch, whatever you want. and call it. I got the cash. He doesn't. Let's go. Alex is snitching right now. You know what I tell you, Alex, you got my back. You know what? Your team Texas with me. Thank you very much. Okay. I do that old apologize.

He voted out in five seconds. Thank you, Alex. Good friend. Alex could always call the show. Thank you, Alex. All right. Let's go to Gil at 1153. Gil, apologize. Not right now. I'm going to apologize for you two. why are y'all playing pickleball

what if they don't happen to tennis like real men's sport I've never played pickleball on my life y'all said you're glad neither have I I like tennis I had tennis rackets I've played tennis and I played tennis in high school

people like pickleball because it's less athletic as tennis you can actually it's easier on the joints for sected generians yeah okay I've never played pickleball my dog myself but I mean you guys just a minute, you're going to go play pickleball.

I was kidding. It's called a joke. Have you heard of sarcasm? Gil. Yeah, but I mean, some say sarcasm is an intelligence test. Stop. Say you're sorry right now to kill.

All right, I'm sorry. Gosh, thanks, Guilla for the phone call. I appreciate it. People love pickleball. Was I wrong? I don't get pickleball, but people love it. I mean, I get it. I'm just not with it.

Get out there and play doubles tennis is not that taxing. Now it's hot, but you're playing outside in pickleball usually anyways, too. You don't want to do when I play tennis. What do you wind up doing when you play tennis? Playing home run derby. When's the last time you swung a tennis racket? Got to be, what, late 90s?

Really? Yeah. Was you and Andre Agassi? It was me and Pete Sampers versus Andre Agassi and Steffie Groff. Oh, really? Yeah, it was a celebrity event. Yeah, you must have got crushed. I mean, I have my own.

I mean, you probably won Pete's serve games, but that's about it. Yeah, yep. 713-212-5-7-9-0. Let's go to Koso. What are you saying sorry for? I want to say sorry. First of all, what's up, Texas, Matt? Thank you.

For anyone that doesn't get to listen to the Matt Thomas show during the day, we listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple or whatever, and I'll just be doing my thing at night, making dinner, cleaning up, listening to Ross and you just bitch and moan about something and all of a sudden, boom, chumba, chumba, chumba, chumba, chumba, chumba. Chumbba, chumba. Those ads drive me crazy. And they're out of the most randomest part in the podcast at all times. I'm sorry for anyone that's got to listen to that part.

I'm sorry. But we do appreciate you listening to the podcast. Yeah, our show is always available to you. Thank you. You can find it, of course, for free on the IHeart Radio. Yes. We're on Apple Podcasts. Yes.

We're on Spotify podcast. Yes. Yes. Look under the Heart of Texas podcast with me, Matt Thomas. No. They're going to kick you off. You probably hate blue bonnets. I love blue bonnets.

I love corny. You don't even like armadillos either. They're disgusting. Hold on. Oh, wait a minute. I'm sorry. I don't like disgusting, whatever there are, man. You have irrational fears of armadillos.

Yeah. You hate sweet tea, enchiladas. You know what? If you love Armadillo so much, I'll bring one in and you pet it. Okay. Why don't you knock it out? Let's go. I'm going to give you the leprosy I get.

Ugh, gross. All right. Let's go to, oh, boy. Tim and Katie. Tim, what are you sorry for? Guys, I'm sorry that I sent you guys a $25 smoothie gift card. And what I'm sorry is, well, it's only got 83 cents on it. But I figure if a whole bunch of people send you used gift cards,

then you can get the Jake Meyer smoothie when the time is right. I'm sorry. Tim, are you on hallucinogens? I'm sorry, Houston, we took that phone call. That sucked. That was bad. That was a horrific phone call. He's living in an alternate universe.

It made me laugh, man. That man, and there's a warning sign on the phone. We're going to have to probably not take Tim's call. No, that was great, actually. So he sent us a $25 gift card that $83 on it. Is Jake Myers partnered with any Ruthie ring or something? I don't work. We haven't even going to get Jake back on the show.

How's he doing? He's running on flat ground? There's been a lot of flat ground running. All right. Oh, boy. Last but least, Eric in Bay City on the Matt Thomas show at Ross. Hello, Eric. Hello, fellas.

I just got to apologize to the lady at the base. murder ring. I just went through the drive-thru, and right before I got there, I passed a little gas and rolled down my window. I could tell she was dealing with it. But more than that, I want to apologize to all the double-office. There is no way you are in that rank and rancid. You need to go to the doctor, bro. If you're blowing out the drive-thru lady, it's a made-up story. There's no chance. I want to apologize also to the AA and AAA hitters that are missing Spencer Arrogate's batting practice. They got Miami the other.

All right. All right. He's going to have a quality start next time. I want to hear your apology. When he throws a quality start and his next start, you call in here and you say sorry. Be ready next Friday when I don't call because he's not going to with that 785 ERA. His ERA is almost double Joey Lopa Pito's batting average. All right. I didn't mean that. I have never heard someone crop dust the drive-thru worker. it's impossible unless he's got the most

According to the Montgomery County Jail website, he was arrested for a warrant related to his felony offense. No bail listed, but Ward will be released by court order today. His lawyer telling KPRC2 that Ward was arrested because he tested positive for alcohol in violation of his previous release, and as a result, he had to spend the night in

jail. Not facing any new allegations, he just was getting his drink on. Does it say it was in public, or was it just, they just did a rando check on him? No, I don't see anything with any further details on that. Of course, he was first arrested on June 12th, felony charge of assaulting a family-slash-house member impeding breath circulation. That sounds very technical. Yes. A woman

called authority said Ward had assaulted, strangled, and it threatened her. Emergency Protective order to file at her request, and he was released after posting $30,000 bail. Okay. Well, let the the courts handle that. Courts due diligence.

Okay. And we might have to get Chris Gordy on this. We got some breaking news out of LSU and Baueroo, baby. What's the matter? What's gone? Oh, Garrett, no, smide. I don't. Got a hurt his knee. What? Yeah.

Speaking English. I'm sorry. Garrett Nussmiler is dealing with Pateller tendonitis. Uh-oh, that's a season ender. Tendanitis, it'll be fine. Name the bowl game LSU will play this year.

I will go with Idaho potato bowl. Alamo. That's true. That's not a bad bowl game. Yeah. Gordial, I'll show them around. I know my way around the Alamo bowl.

I told you, the Alamo Bowl is a Dome is a dump now. It's not that bad. It's terrible. It's not that bad. I saw what a dump it was. Oh, okay. How'd that go?

We played well for 38, 39 minutes. That's a shame. All right, well, oh, did you see this news? How long ago? The WNBA, you know what tosses, orchestrated by a cryptocurrency group.

No way. Not giving them any further pub, but they're trying to market their crypto coin. So they're putting the logos Was it? I don't know. On the, you know what? I didn't zoom in like that, Matt. Maybe you could tell me.

You hit the hyper-zoom. So these real rows have been thrown because... Adult sex toys. Can we say that? Yes. Well, I said it. Yes, the recently... The recent sex toy stunts have disrupted at least three WNBA games in the last past 10 days.

I kind of felt like there had to be something going on like this. Apparently orchestrated by a crypto coin group. But how are they getting in the building? You have, you just, I mean, you're expecting. Oh, my God. Ew. Yeah, everybody's done it right now. Because you can't put it in a purse.

Why not? I guess they're looking at purses. Yeah. You can wear some baggy jeans. And then where are you putting it at that point? You can tape it to your leg. What are they going to pat you down? Are you, forget it.

I don't have to apologize. You know what? I want to say I'm so proud of you for restraining yourself in that moment. I'll tell you during the break. It seemed quite difficult for you. It did. Also, Anthony Richardson could be back very soon, but unfortunately in Thursday night's preseason opener,

he hurt his pinky after getting sacked forcefully. All right, there is a news at noon right there. And C.J. Garner, we're still waiting to find out exactly how severity. There were reports that his ACL was torn by Aaron Wilson, then followed up by a friend of the show, Jordan Schultz. Hate him, douche. And, well, then those reports were walked back by both Aaron Wilson and Jonathan Alexander, and Rianaport, and others that is not an ACL tear.

So that is good news. Yeah, I would assume anything short of that is good news, right? Yes. All right. So there you have it. That's the news at noon. Here on Sports Talk 790, we've got coming up at 1,000. we've got coming up at 139 Florida stories mine is from here in Houston where's yours from you had one

Because we're going to have to do a lot of that. Raise for life. Raise for life.

713-212-5-7-90. Anything goes Friday. We're here at Talyar Brewing, 1033 Imperial Boulevard. We're here until 2 o'clock on Sports Talk 7-9. All right. Remember, you have until 2 o'clock this afternoon to come over here to Talia Brewing at 1033 Imperial Boulevard. We have a four packet tickets to give away to the Astros, September the 16th game against the Texas Rangers. that's dugout tickets and parking and i promise i'm not rigging the contest for myself

i had the resolve to complete the nine nine nine challenge folks have you done it No. Well, see, then... I'm not going to. Yeah. Maybe if I was like, if I was his age, what's he, 24? What is he? 25, no.

He was 25? I got a 25-year-old. Oh, God, I feel old. You could be a granddaddy. Stop. What do you want your granddad name to be, Papa? Matt. Happy?

Mr. Texas. You want your grandchild to call you Mr. Texas? That's kind of cool. Mr. Texas? Can I have a dollar? You know, I'm asking for a dollar. These kids don't ask for dollars anymore. That's true.

They ask me for the bin-mo address. Can I have the new iPhone? You're only three. Granddad, my iPad's not big enough. Yeah, I'm going to want a 4K TV. All right, real quick. Astros, Yankees, this weekend, New York? Yes.

They're going to be booing the Yankees as much they're going to booing the Astros. Because the Yankees has not been playing good baseball at all. This isn't where they turn it around, right? Oh, God. It's hard to predict baseball games. Of course. It's the hardest to predict something. Because, again, even the worst teams in baseball win games.

Yep, absolutely. I'm with you. On paper, I mean, they're pretty even. Honestly, the Yankees pitching acquisitions have not been great since the deadline. As a matter of fact, they sent one of their guys even down to the minor leagues, who they acquired. They have been beset by injuries too. They have been beset by horrific base running mistakes.

The, unfortunately, the Jose Al-Tubei rule. They've always had bad defense in base running, though. Yeah. What was that? I don't know. We okay? Is Erican Bay City? All right.

So, yeah, please don't lose this series. And please, the Mariners do not sweep the rays. Because we're going to have grumpy. Well, the aster's would have been in first place if they had played Jeremy Payne on Thursday, Wednesday. You don't need that. Well, dumb fan is going to dumb fan. You can't live our lives worrying about them, Matt.

What kind of crazy stuff they're going to come up with? Even though the playbook's fairly predictable. Guys getting days off is the worst. The lineup is the worst. Should have bunted more. Should a bunt guy. Oh, Christ. Left the pitcher in too long.

Mm-hmm. Like there's a magic wand you can wave and just insert a new pitcher. Somebody's got to get up. They got to start tossing. They got to get warmed up. Play the other day. You got to get inserted in the game. Yeah, somebody screamed me in the day.

When Marigate, he gave up his third hit, he should have been replaced. In the first inning, okay, that makes a tremendous amount of sense. Yeah. As I said before, and we invite you to talk to me on the 10th inning show tonight. I'll be working on the 10th in. You will? I'm going to work it, yes. I won't be there.

Me, Wex are filling for me Wednesday if I thank him. Clayton hasn't touched a 10th inning probably since he was in high school? No, no, he Jones is in a playoff games. Oh, that's right. And then he demands press box seats. Okay. That's how that's how he rolls. Yeah, I mean.

You started this, not me. I'm done. I finished it, though. No, I love you. I'm done. We love you, Adam, Clyde. We love him. We love him.

We're doing a great, a lot of hard work here. He's probably the least harding work. Him and Sean probably are tied, one, two. Seven one, three, two, one, two, five, seven, ninety. Seven one, three, two, one, two. Didn't he live around here? Who? He can't come say hello?

He's in Fulcher, I think. I'm talking about, Adam. Adam's just stop by here for sure. He's like five minutes away from here. Yeah. What's he doing? He's probably him and true. He's still playing Red Dead Regemption?

Yeah. Look, I think he's there trying to, he's trying to get another WW autograph belt or something. Okay, he's on an eBay bid. Yeah. He's at a hot bidding war. Matt in Spring Branch, Matt at 1224 on 790. Thanks for calling.

Actually, this isn't Matt. And Martin Mokes. I'm calling in to say, I don't know if you know this, but I'm going to New York. And us New York, Yankees fans are from New York. really like from I can't wait to see the Astros come to New York

and bitch slap us around because I can't be miserable about and we love being miserable that I mentioned that I'm from New York and that Matt guy and spring branch and always goes in the random

birds up and I'll talk you guys Monday after the week bye it was a it's James and Garden Oaks yeah that wasn't that bad

but the phone sounded funky it was the voice It was something that okay, but the material was D-minus. Well, yeah, the phone was choppy. Yeah, well. I couldn't find out if ours or his. We went back and forth, so. It doesn't matter.

You should have had him call back. Either way, shouldn't I? I mean, we had a caller in person, another caller. We've had that before. We had that a lot. Bradward's one of my favorites. Bradward does call the show occasionally. It's like we're on our own little community.

Yes. Our own demented community. of misfits. Yes, correct. The great part is we get to meet these people that have come over here to Talleyburg, and y'all come across as very normal people. They seem regular.

Yeah. And they're entering for four tickets to the Astros games. September 16th, come on by between now and two o'clock. It's a dollar dog Tuesday dug out seats. Let's go against the Rangers. That's going to mean. Those are going to be meaningful games. I think so.

And that'll be what the last homestine of the year, if I'm not mistaken, right? Is that right? Because the Astros closed up the year in California. Yeah. Okay. Just throwing it out there. Oh, James and our Garden Oaks is calling.

That's that'll be good. For real? Biscuits with us at 1226. That little biscuit. Hey, what's happening, my brother? You tell us. Hey, Matt, you over there in my negative woods there, man. Well, then there's no excuse that you shouldn't be over here for crying out loud.

We got brunch. You got Monday night football. They got pizza. Got 17 beers on tap. What the hell are you waiting for? Let's go. College game day. College game day is coming here.

Monday night football. pizza, good-looking women, all the above. You know I'm in the Brown Army out here in his heat, man. But listen, man, I called, first of all, to help J.K. out, man, we need to change Willie to Miss Willie, so we don't get it mixed up no more. So they ain't going to make, I mean, Jay K don't make that mistake no more, man. Ms. Carroll, she can take the place to Ms. Carroll and be Miss Willie. That's just, I'm just throwing that out there.

but Lance, I mean, guys, I want to bring the barbershop to you, man. In the community, man, the best thing you can say about somebody is that they're good people. Now, Ross, you can fact check me now, but I heard that Mr. Hertz, Mr. Jalen Hertz and his wife took in a young lady who was orphaned from the floods in the Hill country. And I'm just saying, man, we got some athletes to do some knucklehead stuff. but we got some good dudes out there too. So kudos, if it's true, the Mr. Hertz and his wife. I hadn't heard of that, but I don't know. So you can take that out.

Oh, here we go. Fossily linked. Uh-oh. Google says it's not true. Oh, it's not true? Okay. Well, scratch that. What wasn't true? Fake news that Jalen Hertz took in a flood victim. Oh, really? That's ridiculous. By the way, I got to, thanks for bringing that up on the fake stuff.

Thanks for the phone call biscuit. Did you hear about the Jose El-Tubei Louis Vuitton thing? Oh, yeah. He's speaking for them now? No. He stole a bag? No. No.

What are you talking about? No way you don't know. Can Ross, say you're sorry to Jose L. Too with the greatest astro of a ball? I'm just joking. What happened? So apparently there was a faux story that was out there that Jose Lubei went to the Louis Vuitton store at the Galleria and that he was rudely treated by the waitstab, the employees.

That no one would help him. No one would have given him the time of day. It was a complete hoax. Yeah, this is happening. Where did it go on Facebook? I don't know where it went, but my wife was like, did you hear about Jose L2? I said, no.

He goes, he was truth. So now and then the story, he said that Jim Crane is telling all the fellow baseball players don't to go to Louis Vuitton during this. It was a complete hoax 100%. Yeah, everybody knows Jose L. Tuve is not spending his cash like that. Why? He's a man of the people.

I'd like to go to Louisville. If I could afford it. I can't. No. That, yeah, I think that now that you say it, I guess it sounds vaguely familiar. I saw the report that said there was a fake report about him. Yeah, that's exactly.

But that's a problem. What are we going to do? How are we going to fix this in 2025? It's only going to get worse and worse or worse. And it's not an accident. No more AI, everybody? No. Oh, yeah.

Oh, I might AI once in a while. Okay, come on now. Maybe. That's only going to get worse. But how cruel is that? I mean, I can't afford Louis Vuitton. But the point being is that that's... Your wife can.

that may be true she does handle the books she says it's in the budget yeah she does meanwhile can i go to lake charles no but you just spend all this at a little bit of time i don't care you're not going oh okay thanks she wears a pants you know that you know that you know this is time and by each other

all right she should be keeping on the island y'all's finances why i've seen you at the craps table that's because you're with me throwing the dice that's not true we're a tire brewing let me tell you when you have 17 beers in one location is that god's country or what? I think that's called alcoholism. That's called amazing choices. Oh, when they have

17 options, I'm sorry. I'm not saying 17 at one time. Yeah. You just, you sample. You get the pickle bowl paddle and you try four or five at one time. Yes. They got a bakery downstairs. We just knocked off the sausage pizza that was absolutely amazing. What's in this bakery? I don't know. Maybe we know people. Okay.

Cookies, rice, crispy treats. Yeah, I could go for an almond croissant. Yeah, I don't know if they've got this isn't a French bakery here. It's a brewery. Oh. Mix things. Okay. We're going to register and we're going to

to pull the winner for the four tickets to the Astros against the Rangers September 16th. It is 1230. C.J. Gardner Conversation from Max and James of Garden Oaks with a Yankees preview. We'll have that for you next here on Sports Talk 790.

Here we are. We're outside Yankee Stadium, big game here in the Bronx. 7 o'clock. Why are we playing games tomorrow at 1 o'clock? We'll play Saturday baseball games. This is absolutely out of control. You got to have the bright lights of New York City. Framba Valdez is getting rocked tonight.

Is it today or tomorrow? It's 100th round the day. Yeah. I got a good feeling about Sholidula. And if you're going to the game today, Bouhose-A-Tuve, because that's what he deserves. He's the worst. The big cheetah.

Yeah. He can't hold that Wack Wilson's job. Let's go to James, and God knows you on the fan, James. Fellas, thank you for taking my call, man. Thank you, Governor Thomas, and shout out to you, man, R.B. Listen, I got a shout out to my fellow compatrives, Mr. Brad. I haven't heard from him in a while. And you guys should lay low, man.

Don't be so hard on Yankee Keith. Just hang tough, man, okay? The legions of fans that are from Yankee universe know that we ain't going to be. be broken just because what we're going through. Now, I got a quick question for you. Is Judge going to play? Because if Judge is not in the lineup, the assholes are going to just murder. They're going to

slaughter the Yankees. But if Judge is there, we're going to have a competitive series. Because, you know, Judge, Judge is not going to stand for this, man. He must be boiling inside. Have you seen him against the international's pitching, James? It doesn't matter. I'm telling you what powerful power of judges like. He's a

swing and miss. Yeah. Excuse you, he's a whiff machine. Look, man. They call him Mr. Strik out. You know what Judge is doing this shit? You know what Judge is doing this shit, man? He was on part for the Triple Crown, man. Yeah, come on, man, guys.

Come on, fellas. No, yeah, he's whiffing, and now he needs Tommy John. He played the Texas Rangers series. I thought you'd a big Yankee fan. You're supposed to, though, he's playing against the Rangers. Oh, no, James. He's getting his right arm amputated before the game today. It's gangrenous.

Oh, come on, fellas. Come on, man. Okay, but... We're just kidding with you, James. Okay, okay. Look, this is my tape. Seriously, if judges are going to have to sit, you know, the Yankees are done. But if he's there, I think my Yankees will win two out of three.

No hard feelings to the Astro Fan because, you know, my wife is a big astrophant, and I can't go against the Astros at all except when they play my Yankees. But anyway, thank you for taking my call, fellas. You got it, James. Thank you, New York. That's if we were on FM, how cool we sound. We are. 94.5-2.

Oh, that's true. I heard radio app makes it sound good, too. I know. All right. So there you go. There's your smack talk from James. Every time Aaron Judge whiffed this weekend, take a drink. Just kidding, don't die.

Don't do that. No, he's going to hit like four home runs now. Don't even bring that up. No, Hunter Brown and Frommberg. I'm feeling good. You went to Yankee Stadium before, correct? No, I have not. I haven't been to either Yankee Stadium.

Oh, man. That was somebody else that got to go on those trips. Gordy's been, because Gordy goes on every Astros trip. Oh, yeah, that's fine. They're sponsored by Carbock, and of course, he is the flagship Carbock asset here. Yes, he is. All right, 713-212-5-790. 7-13-212-5-7-90.

Let's talk to Max and the Med Center at 1239. Hi, Max. How are you? Hey, guys. How you all doing? Good. Thank you for calling. Fantastic. I wanted to talk about the offense during the training camp.

You know, I've read all the reports. I'm obviously concerned about the number of interceptions that C.J. Stratus found. And I know he's gone up against the championship level defense. And you have a new installation of the offense and a new office coordinator. But let me give you a hypothetical situation. You let me know what you would do. Let's say this year, again, with a slightly improved O-line, less sacks, less pressures, less Harry, he throws for 23 TDs, 19 INPs, and leaves us to a 98 record, second in the division behind Jacksonville, whoever.

And he's finishing his third year. Do you extend him next off-season or not to the max contract? Max, that's a great question. There's no Max in football. I mean, you're talking about paying him $70 million a year, essentially, right? No, he's not going to – he – I personally guarantee his touchdown interception ratio is going to be better than 23 to 19. Okay, well, I think what Max is trying to say is if he has a subpar season. Honestly, this is for Max, anybody else.

Unless he falls off the map, he's getting a max deal. Correct. He has done enough in his two years, and even if he's just a pedestrian average quarterback this year, he's going to break the bank. He would essentially have to lose his starting spot to Davis Mills. To Davis Mills in order to get the deal. I'm not kidding when I say this. Okay. Now, if he breaks a leg this year or he separates a shoulder or he loses a peck muscle loses him for the year,

then that's going to change things a little bit. But if he plays presumption 17 games and has just an okay but not a spectacular season, he's getting the big money. All he has to do is stay upright and be better than Davis Mills for him to get the big deal. Because the pressure will be on.

Look at the Brock Purdy got. Is Brock Purdy season last year spectacular? No. Did he get huge money? Yes. Lamar Jackson, they still haven't tasted a Super Bowl with him at quarterback. They still pay him, and they're about to pay him again. Okay, well, Laura Jackson on C.J. Stratt are two different things.

But my point is this. He's multiple-time MVP. If you have somebody you think is good, you're going to probably overpay. Well, Lamar Jackson's one of the best in the game. But I would say more like Trevor Lawrence got a big deal from Jacksonville. Jacksonville and hasn't lived up to that. Daniel Jones, people forget, got a big deal from New York Giants because he looked like, if you show any sort of potential.

that you're a franchise quarterback, you're getting locked up. And that's why, I don't know if the NFL can do anything about that because it is such an important position. I don't even know if a salary cap would necessarily help that at all, right? Jordan Love. Jordan Love got a big extension before last year. Now he had a good year last year. It's not like he looked like he was going to set the world on fire forever.

Quarterbacks are good now. And the quarterbacks, again, if we talked about how come you can't find 10 good quarterbacks? It feels like there's like 15 good ones. And guess what? Those 15 are all being ridiculously compensated. The highest paid quarterback in football is still Dak Prescott in terms of average annual value. Yeah. So I'll say this again and write it down if you need to.

Short of Davis Mills replacing him or short of a season ending injury, there will be serious contract conversations between the Texans and C. Day Stroud. If not during the course of this year, certainly next year. I'm trying to look at the

the class before him and see who got an extension. Oh, is a bad quarterback class before him. So it doesn't even matter. That's when Kenny Pickett was the first one. Oh, gosh. He's already on another franchise. Hmm. Are you proud we've gone almost three hours

and not mentioning Shadur Sanders' name at least once? What happened? He's playing tonight. But the world, but every ESPN shows got him in a, in a, how are the Brown's treating him? Is he being treated unfairly? Is he being treated for failure? Is he built up?

set up to fail? Yeah, set up to fail. He's a fifth round pick. Fifth round pick quarterbacks are set up to fail. So Lawrence got paid last year and he was in the 21 class. I mean, you don't even have to extend him after three years,

by the way. No, but a lot of teams like to do that. They do. Because they have this big, they did that. The Texans did that with Sean Watson. Remember that big kumbaya press conference they had about, oh, I love to be here. This is the greatest place in the world. And they had people sending photo, JJ Watt was sending him

videos and stuff and Peyton Manning was on the video. It's just crazy. The quarterback position is as long as your average it may be in the history of sports we're all thinking about this. In the history of sports is there a position that gets overpaid

more than a quarterback spot for being just pedic... They're not overpaid. Oh, for not being as good at their job. I mean it's the most important position in sports. But I mean, if you again, Brock Purdy. Brock Party's good. I like Rock Purdy. I like him. I don't love him. If I'm building a franchise, when

is Brock Purdy's name coming in the mix? I don't know if we're going down the list. I mean, he's a top 12-ish guy. Okay, but do you want to build a franchise around the 11th best quarterback? You can win with Brock Purdy, though. Yeah, I mean, you can clearly. Your other option is to let him go and to draft somebody. That's what I'm saying. That's why the quarterback said all the power.

You got to get somebody. Let's see. Brock Purdy last year. 20 touchdowns, 12 picks. That's okay. I mean, it's good. Not great. Year before that, 31 and 11. 31 touchdowns, 11 picks. And that one year he couldn't throw the ball in the playoff because he'd hand it off the whole time. Yes.

Nobody was healthy left and guarded to go. I just, I just, yeah. So, look, don't remember how the Texans spend their money. I mean, McSterio does a very effective job of managing the salary. Unless C.J. Stroud decides to quit football and walk to earth, he's going to be, he's your franchise quarterback. Just letting you know. And he knows he's going to get the certain dollar amount.

Every year he sees a new quarterback get assigned, he smiles a little bit brighter. Battle Red Ross is here to tell you. Bounce back of year, folks. 23 and 19, that's ridiculous. He's not throwing 19 picks. He's not going to get the opportunity to throw that much. I was going to say, I mean,

what's he over on a number of games he plays this year? What do you mean? You tell me? Six? I'll go over. I knew you would. I knew you would. You're a Mr. Predictor injury.

You're Mr. Injury. I am an injury predictor. You're the one that said 28-year-old Jorda-Alvarez will never, ever again in his career play. 130 games ever by the way he played 147 last year by the way I'm already proud of one of my predictions I told you okay good ashton gente yesterday three carries minus one yard oh it's over

career's over you also declared he's never you were so hot take mr hot take uh-uh you said he's never ever rushing for a thousand yards I didn't think I ever said that you I wrote down the that time stamp that bad boy I'm ready you don't know yes I did I was on drugs I well that and we know that

all right 713 212 570 it is a Anything Goes Friday edition of the Matt Thomas Show. Ross, we are here at Talia Brewing, where the pizza is great, the ambiance is good, the beers are delicious, and... The people are beautiful. Yeah, they're beautiful. A lot of men in beards here. I don't know why that is, but that's cool.

What's wrong with that? Well, I can't grow one, so... Yeah, you can. Yeah, it won't be great. Just because your wife doesn't let you. That feels fair. I think your beard is nice. Thank you.

I call myself Mr. Mr. Texas and Mr. 5 o'clock shadow. You're only one of those things. You really don't like the beans. in the Chile. Oh, my Lord. What did beans ever do to you?

I'm trying to be nice. I'm trying to be nice every day. It's too late. You had a chance to say you're sorry to me a half an hour ago you didn't do it. I'm sorry. 713-212-750. Come on by, Talia Brewing.

We're here until two. We're going to give away those tickets, the Astros and Rangers, at two right here on Sports Talk 7-90. We're at Talia Brewing. And we're going to be here to 2 o'clock today, so if you want to come by and get yourself registered for those Astros tickets.

We'll be giving them away at 2 o'clock. this afternoon. I've got some golf passes too. And I just want to give you a heads-up. The Taya Brewing is going to be your future home on Monday Night Football. If you want to come and check out the Monday Night games. There's a lot of double-header weeks. You can watch two games at one time here. Yeah, the Texans will be on one of the double-headers.

The early one, the one that people care about. And then there's one game there on ESPN Plus and no one cares about. I care about it. I'm going to watch it. Well, of course, we'll all watch it. Yeah, what do you mean? Everybody loves it. Monday night football.

We're going to stand-alone game. Thursday night, Monday night, no, it was a Monday night game, that's right. Seattle. 9 o'clock. Sam Darnold. C.J. Stroud.

It's going to be a great game. Sam Darnel's a Seahawk. That's really weird. They give a bunch of, Smith. Are you surprised by that? Is he doing a big payday or something? Maybe.

I mean, Sam Darnold and from Gino Smith to Sam Darnold. That meme of that guy who gets a present who gets the same shirt that he's wearing for Christmas. That's happened quite a bit. It's kind of like that.

Yeah. It's going from tomato to tomato. It's one placeholder to the next, right? System quarterback. Yeah. You know. Clearly Kevin O'Connell was done with Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold for the Vikings had

17 great regular season games and one lousy postseason game. They went like 13 and 3, right? Yeah, they did. I don't, I'm sorry, more than that. 14 and 3? But they didn't be 13 and 4? Yeah, 13 and 4.

With loss of the Lions on the last weekend of the season or something? 35 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, and we'll see you later, Sam Darnold. Yep. And we'll see him later this year. You well?

As long as everybody's healthy. I'm going to be jealous of the Astros for the Mariners because I've not been to Seattle a long time, and if you wind up going, it's a great city. Oh, you mean for playoffs? Yeah. Yeah, I like Team Mobile Park a lot.

And it is a great town. Now, have me out again with this real quick. It is a stadium that does not have... It's not fully enclosed when it's even with the roof. It's basically got a canopy, yeah. You just pop the top on. It ain't cool in Seattle in September. Yeah.

It could. Even if you go to the games, you have to bring a jacket. So they'll be really loud while the Astros beat them again. Remember they got all excited for, like, their first playoff games in like 15 years or whatever? And then the Astros swept them. We love Softie, but, man. He is such a homer for all the Seattle sports. I mean, it clouds his judgment occasionally.

I hear him to lose again. That's okay. That'd be the worst. I still want Seattle to get an NBA team. I don't know if that's going to happen. How are the storm doing? I don't think they're in existence. The Seattle Storm? Yeah.

No, they're 16 and 14 this year. Oh, they're doing okay then. Yeah. They play at Climate Pledge Arena. How many teams in WMBA? I don't know. I was like 16 or something? The guy I can name all 16?

Oh, you want to try? Really fast. Here we go before I go to the phone. Okay. Seattle. Golden State Valkyries. Hold on. Let me find a list.

Las Vegas, Aces. That's three. I'm trying to go from west to east. Okay. Dallas. Oh. No Dallas? No, they are Dallas.

Dallas, not Stars. They're, I don't know what the Dallas team's called. The wings. The wings, okay. So that's the one you missed. Phoenix Mercury. Okay. L.A. Sparks.

Yes. Okay, that's all the West teams. Well, that's not all the Western Conference teams, but I guess it's all the Minnesota links. Yes, look at you. We call you Mr. WNBAs. We're going to start calling you. All right, what else?

New York Liberty, Connecticut's Sun. Uh-huh. Miami Soul Bang Straight 2 Oh, Chicago Sky Yes Detroit, something, shock

Yeah, they're gone Oh, sorry I give up, who the rest? You missed the Washington Mystics Okay The Indiana fever, Caitlin Clark Oh, Caitlin Clark, yeah, yeah Atlanta Dream

And I think that's it I want to apologize for anybody I thought this was offensive You did great I am offended by you, though. Thank you, Bill. Let's talk to Robert and Webster at 1256 on 7A. Robert, good afternoon to you.

What's going on? Hey, what's up, guys? Hi. I just want to talk a little bit about the Houston Rockets right now. Sure. So I was looking at their roster the other day. And I see we got a lot of point guards. We got a lot of small forwards.

We got a lot of power forwards, and we got a lot of centers. but I don't really see too much depth at the shooting guard position. I know Amon Thompson can play a little shooting guard, but I was just wanting to see what y'all's thoughts were on what we were going to do about there, or we're going to make another trade during the season, or is Reed Shepard going to play a little shooting guard? I don't know if you can guard some of the better guys in the league,

but I just wanted to see all stops on that. It's 2025. It's positionless basketball. I mean, you put a men to, I mean, Tari Isson's not a two, but he can guard two. Same thing for Amin Thompson that you mentioned. I'm really not worried about it. I don't think they, I don't think Rafael Stone is sitting there saying, we got to get a two guard. It's not like you're filling out a lineup card like in baseball.

It's guys can play everywhere. You put five, you put your best five on the floor, and then you figure it out from there. Robert, I hate to completely 100% agree with anything at Rossville or Yale ever says, but he's telling the truth. Do not worry about the positions. Okay. Now to my buddy to work from lunch. So this is Robert now.

So what are y'all thoughts on the CJ Gardner injury? I'm seeing torn ACL out for the year in practice. That is right now is inaccurate. Yeah, that was the first report, and then they said that wasn't true. Yeah. so and we will not get any new news on him until after the game against the Vikings tomorrow and even so Ross my guess is they don't even know yeah I mean here's let's just let's just peel the criminal I don't know what they know go ahead Aaron probably called the agent and the agent

probably said hey my guy's done for the year and so he reported it and maybe the doctor maybe there was a miscommunication whatever the case would be I look you're supposed to get stories You just are. And so Aaron's got to wear that. But Aaron's not in the business of putting out erroneous information just to put the erroneous information out. No. He's doing it because somebody told him this. Now, the question is going to be, do you trust the sponsor?

I mean, do you trust the agent? Do you trust the person that your contact, whatever the case may be? Yeah, that's what Aaron, whatever sources Aaron spoke to that gave him that false information. That's going to be on him in that relationship. Put it this way. If it's the strength coach. of his personal strength coach, then I would be very leery of that. But if it's the agent that knows the player intimately,

then I probably would go with the story. Again, I don't know what Aaron did. That's his own business. But I don't think Aaron was malicious by it, but the general public doesn't care where you get it from. If you get it right, you get it right, you get it wrong, you're going to have to face the facts. Which happens.

And he's, I wouldn't look at his Twitter account. It hasn't been pretty. 103 sports talk 790 and is matted rosser in italia brewing we have 57 minutes for you to come over here have a beer have some pizza yes stare at us we're okay with that wave to us whatever the case may be and get yourself an opportunity to win the four tickets to see the astros take on the texas rangers and we'll give those away at two o'clock today at the tang of brewing here at 1033 imperial boulevard and sugar land yes and we're having a beer chugging contest see who wins right We are, yes. No, I'm just kidding. By the way, if you ever come to Space Cowboy Games, literally it's a stone throw from here. So go see your favorite Astros.

You can see all your favorite Astros rehabbing, yeah. It's like you get a good beer here, and then you get a good ballgame for a cheaper price. It's Astros South, literally. Yeah, no kidding. You can see Shay Wickham a lot. He's doing great. He's his numbers.

Well, it's Pedro Leone. His numbers are good on the road. Pedro Leone still hurt, too. Oh, well. He's had the worst knee sprain in the history of knee sprains. They probably said, you know, too. He's like August. He's probably, he's probably, with the Astros with so many injuries, he's probably in that waiting list.

Oh, okay. To see the doctors. To see the doctors. Yeah. Okay. They could find him, find him a guy somewhere. No, you don't want to, you don't want to go to a dock in a box on a bad knee, right? I guess not.

Maybe an orthopedist. Yeah. Do you ever go to those docking of boxes? Like at the drug? No, I hate them. Why? One time I had an ear, I had a bad ear infection. And I went to one, and they gave me the, the mixed diagnosis made me the wrong.

medicine, and so I couldn't sleep. What? And I had it for like another week, and then I went to my regular doctor, and they gave me the right medicine, and they knocked it out like two days. Never again. It's quite an endorsement then for the medic clinic. That's my PCP. That's where I'm going. Is that what you say?

Paredes took a PCP? No, that's a P-T-R-T. You don't even know. You're just throwing initials against the wall. Platelet rich and plasma-rich? I don't know. Do you ever so Plasma in college? No.

Jonathan, I know you have. That's a given. You know what? I didn't lie to the people, and I had recently got a tattoo, so I couldn't. Oh, you tried. Do you get banned? I thought they let tattooed people do it. You got to do it.

You got to wait six months. You got to wait six months. And I had, like, I kept getting tattoos. What's your tattoo of? I got like eight. Eight. Wow. Are there any hogs on your?

your body. Nah. Fun fact, my first tattoo was in Nashville when I turned 18 because I was going to West Kentucky. You just went to the same. You asked him there's any hogs in his body. His girlfriend's weight's under your business.

All right. Oh, wait. I'm late. I just got a joke. No, that's not what I was asking. Back on the phones we go. Thank God. And then it goes Friday.

Thank for. Our first hour callers sucked, but they got better as they after it progressed. Yeah, and we got worse. We did. We're punched drunk now, literally. 713-21-2-5-7-9. We're at Talia Brewing.

Come on by and say hello before now and 2 o'clock to get those Astros tickets. I've got pairs of golf pass to give away too. What? Let's talk to Ryan and Montgomery. Ryan, good afternoon. Good afternoon, guys. Sorry I couldn't make it. I got slammed at work and I wasn't able to swing out there today.

That's ridiculous. I'll have to swing by a special kind of store. One of my buddies is complaining that it doesn't make enough money at work, so I've got to go buy a bunch of green. Green, you know what's and throw him at him. while he's working. I don't say it. I didn't.

I didn't. Anyways, you said you'd buy me a beer. I'll take a rain checker. You can buy one of your lucky fans there, a landline. That's my favorite one. I'll have to go somewhere else. But do you think we take two out of three against the Yankees? Well, I mean, yeah.

Yes. Sure. Now, the Astros, what's there with, one year they were almost going to get swept until Haltuba hit the home run in the Grand Slam, right? Wasn't that one of those games? Yeah, it was like a late three-run show. And it kind of got the Astros rejuvenated the rest of the way that year, if I want to say? Sure, why not?

That's what it feels like to me. So that's what's going to happen? No, I don't know. How many home runs for Al-Tuba this weekend? Over under six. I'm going to go well under, put it at one. I hope he hits one. That'd be nice.

I want Kray to hit one, too. Oh, that'd be good. Oh, well, a little back-to-back-back. I'll go back to work, guys. I will talk to a little bit. Oh, thanks. You're still on the line. Yeah, I was to say, I thought we hung up on you.

Thanks for the phone call. He's like, oh, I want to go. He's like, all right. That's funny. Wow. Look, baseball is hard to predict because you don't know. I mean, did anybody anticipate Spencer or Gettie having the troubles that he had early on? No, I wasn't expecting to go eight innings, but.

Well, 11 hits was a little much. Four of them in field, though. Yeah. I'm feeling encouraged. They all count the same, though. Did we just get, I got to let you go on our own show? It's not you, it's me. All right, I got to let you go.

That's the polite way to hang up on someone, right? Yes. Yeah, oh, I got to take this call. Yeah, we just got, I got to let you go. That's fine. It's Ryan. We know Ryan. Yeah, that's true.

We do that to all over time of our listeners, too. We're going to get to a break. We don't have ever hit breaks on time. We're up against it. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. All right. So I brought this up early on the show and it's worth repeating again. You know I am a big Texas Tech fan, except when they play the University of Houston.

Okay. You saw the tweet earlier today. Yes, Texas Tech football. Why is Red Raider fan bragging so hard about their recruits? I don't know. Yeah, they put, it's basically, I don't even know what you would call it. SpongeBob font, like it's sarcasm. like, you can't recruit to Lubbock.

They lied. And then it's a big video of tortillas being thrown at Jones Stadium. Now, is this tongue, is this lacking in self-awareness, or are they aware? This is just tongue-in-cheek. I think if you're a tech. This is the official Texas Tech football. Official. And John McIreyer's doing the same thing on his Twitter account.

Are you serious? Like LFG, all that, ready to get them. Well, yeah, you land five-star recruits. you got to do something. But my question is this. I think if you are cash beating people to the punch, don't you just want to just lay low and just understand that people are not choosing Texas Tech unless you're giving them that crazy money?

Now, of course, that's the overriding factor, but there are recruits who land all over the country at even, you know, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, whatever. Didn't Texas just land like two of the top Georgia recruits? You'd think they probably didn't outbid Georgia? That's what I'm saying. And then you start to want, hook them? Then let me ask you this. Maybe then you just don't brag at all about your recruiting class.

Oh, you have to. It's 2025. You do it for the fan base. You do it for the recruits. Makes them feel special. And you do it for the schools that hate you and you make it make fun of you? Because they do it when they land three. They lay like some two-star punter.

And then Sark's like, oh, hook them, baby. Let's go. Yeah, you do it for the recruit. It's PR. Let's do this. Let's go look at Texas Tech's Twitter account. All right, well, I don't want to go to the Aggies. I'll go to Texas Tech.

Let's see here. Texas Tech's recruiting account. Okay. And let's see how many people were very happy to hear about this. Let's see. Don't hurt yourself. I'm going to scroll here. Follow at Sports RV on Instagram.

I wouldn't do that. See, this makes you scroll faster when I start playing some of my own stuff. So 22 hours ago, you can't recruit the Lubbock. They lied. Uh-huh. Let's take a look at some of the responses. Let us. Money greater than recruiting.

Nobody willingly goes to love it, let's be honest. Ooh, that's rude. Now try it without NIA and overpaying for players. You can't, but you can damn sure pay someone to go there. Enough money will cover up almost any issue. Props to you guys for stepping up. Money talks, mid, and nobody respects it. It's funny what money can buy.

the Aggies did what the Red Raiders are currently doing and it didn't go as playing, we shall see. If my school had to it, we'd be wanting them to do it too. Let's see here. Because you got that money now, but you can pay them. This is not great publicity. This isn't something to get people fired up.

It's got 8,800 likes. Yeah, but I don't know. It's more than any other post on their Twitter. It's like me bragging on a great college paper that I had when I was the University of Houston and I had somebody writing for me. I mean, technically it's my grade, but I I didn't write it.

Well, they are landing recruits. But again, not a single one of these kids would ever choose Texas Tech, if not for the $3.5 million. The kids in Georgia. He's got Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia on him. And he's going to Texas Tech? Come on. They have to have some sort of self-awareness on this.

That right now they know. Come on. That has to be tongue-in-cheek. Whoever the social media manager is for Texas Tech. Probably some 20-year-old who's got his first job. Yeah, but they know, too. There's not a person who is a Texas Tech Red Rader fan. You said your son was...

He's... He's... He's... He's... He's... He's... He's... But why wouldn't he?

But I'm saying this. But he knows. He knows why. We're in the car to go on the movies yesterday, and he's like, Dad, everybody's got this problem. Like, no. Tex-Tex special. Look, Texas has cash.

We know that. Yeah, there's been a lot. Texas didn't need to have cash to get top recruits to begin with. Well, it doesn't hurt. Doesn't hurt. But it helps. Well, if you take cash away... from everywhere, yeah.

But, and this is, I keep saying this, this is good for the health of the game because you always talk about NIL's keeping the haves and the have-nots. Well, Texas Tech was a have-not and had no shot. And now I don't think this is going to translate directly to national championship success, but now they've got skin in the game.

Now they've got a shot. This is why NINIL is good. It's growing the game. But what if they go eight and five? Well, it's terrible waste of money. Well, then Cody Campbell, wherever the hell his name is, was his money, and that's up for him to decide.

Then he's going to go away. If I can't buy championships, what's the point? And oh, by the way, if Texas Tech wins a Big 12 this year, guess who's going to be talking about them buying championships? Me. Everyone. Because we at the University of Houston don't buy championships. Didn't Ohio State have the most expensive roster in football last year?

Yeah, they won the championship. They won the championship. Yeah, so money buys. This is how the game is played, baby. Let's get a sour cap then. Let's go. Why? Equal playing ground.

There's no equal playing ground. Let's make it then. You think University of Houston and their 68 out of 68 revenues needs to have the same amount of spinning power as Alabama and Texas. No question. We can do it. Yeah. We have better facilities.

We have nicer people. Better education. Yeah. There's nothing to back up anything you just said. We have a pink's pizza there on that premises? Oh, that's okay. You don't have that. It's overrated.

Yeah, there it is. Once again, if something's not in Texas, it's overrated. That's not true. I get you. All right. Let's get a quick call before we hear from Brian McTaggart. It's pretty good. We're just a bad pizza town.

They're just winning the tallest midget competition. In Austin? You can't say midget on the air. Oh, I'm sorry, tallest dwarf person. You can't say dwarf either. Smaller. Little person. Charles, quickly, before we get to him to the EEOC, go ahead.

Oh, yes. Charles. I just had a gut feeling on the Astros and the series of the Yankees come up this weekend. We've heard from all these Yankee callers, and, you know, they're going to sweep us or whatever else. To be honest, I got the opposite feeling. I think we're going to win this series or either sweep. I've had feelings about some of the series we've been going through. Like when we went to Boston, we got swept out of bad.

I don't know why, but I had a bad feeling about that series, even though Gary Crochet didn't pitch in that series. I had a good feeling about us. We went to Miami about us playing that series, and I have a really good feeling about this series coming up. We've got Hunter Brown from Valdez on the mound, and I think this may be the week if we sweep the Yankees where a bunch of Yankee fans will be, oh, the season is over.

But anyways, you guys have a great weekend, and let's go Astros. Thank you, Charles Lefonco. We'll hear from Brian McTaggart next. Now on Florida Stories, bottom of the hour. All right, a couple minutes here with Brian McTaggart. If we missed our visit earlier, we asked him about a variety of things getting ready for this series of the Astros. the Yankees.

Here is Brian on what the team has done lately to kind of allow this division race to get super tight. Astros a game and a half better than the Mariners in the American League West. Well, I think the injuries just cut up with them. I mean, they, you know, Pena was out for a good

stretch of that. Myers has been out for a good stretch of that. You know, they're slowly starting to get, you know, their starters back. But, you know, I just think they lost their horses. I mean, ever since sweeping the Dodgers in L.A. They're 9 and 16, and yeah, the Mariners now are right on their heels.

But the lineup looked a lot better in Miami. I mean, Sanchez is going to make a big difference. Kare is going to make a big difference. Pena being back is going to make a big difference. And, you know, now they've got a chance to get Javier back soon. So I think they've weathered the worst of the storm, but the Mariners aren't going anywhere. So they're going to have to fend them off here for the next six weeks. So do you think it's a case of...

I don't know, is it just getting guys back and expecting too much right away? Like, for instance, everybody thinks, Brian, when and if Yordon comes back, this offense is going to be prolific. This is a guy that hasn't swung a bat in a regular season game since May. Unfortunately, you want to temper expectations, but at the same time, Brian, you're in the middle of a pennant race, down about 50 games left to go in the year. The time for experimenting is largely over here.

Yeah, you're right. I mean, is he going to come back and what are you going to get out of him? I mean, Peña has come back and looked, you know, look pretty good at the play, but he didn't miss as nearly the amount of games as Jordan has, and he wasn't dealing with a hand injury. So, but again, you'd rather have him in the lineup and see what it can do than not. And he just, you know, he strikes the fear of God and opposing pitchers. So, but, you know, I think offensively they're going to be fine.

I mean, Sanchez looks like he can really make a difference hitting the ball hard. The lineup is just deeper. You just don't have that bottom three where you're like, maybe these are automatic outs. You just don't have that anymore. And with Yordon and talking about him coming back, what did you make of all the comments about him in the injury, it needs surgery, but they can't get surgery there?

Does it sound like maybe he does need an off-season procedure, but they don't want to miss him for the season? So he's going to try to heal up and try to play through the pain. What did you make of all that? because just asking how close to 100% do you guess that Jordan can be physically? Well, it's hard to know. I mean, we were told the hand, the broken bone, he'll think about a month ago over in Colorado,

and then the inflammation came out and he got a shot. And so the fact that we're still, you know, where he's at and taking batting practice is, you know, pretty troublesome. I mean, he's had hand injuries before. So I don't know if there's anything they can do surgery-wise. I mean, I think they probably would have done it by now, because this is just dragged on for so long. So who knows?

I mean, I guess we'll find out at some point he's going to go and play in a AAA game or whatever, and maybe you can get back. But it's hard to count on him being in the lineup at this point when he's just been out for so long. Brian McTagger with us here on the radio program. Isaac Peretti's not going to have the surgery. We're going to have that injection if you already had. So what was your thought about that? and realistically, is that just a player going, you know what?

I don't want to go on to the knife. I want to do whatever I can. And if he comes back at all, that would be considered gravy, right? In some respects? I think you're totally right. I mean, look, they put him on the 60-day aisle the other day, which would take him to, I don't know the exact day, but somewhere around September 15th, 16th.

So even if he comes back, you're talking on the last 10 games of the regular season. I think it's a really, really long shot. I mean, all we heard for a couple of weeks was, you know, a severe injury. An injury is going to, you know, there were reports he was going to be out for the year. But, yeah, I think it's sort of a Hail Mary on Eastox Park to try to get back to this lineup. And, hey, if it works great, if not, you know, they went out and got Carlos Correa to play third base. And so they should be set there. But I just wonder if he doesn't get back, if they'll go ahead and have the surgery and, you know, will that take him out in the next year as well.

But I guess hats off for Eastock to try to rehab this base. get back on the field. You mentioned Carlos Correa. Just your evaluation of the three moves, obviously a very short sample size, but the guys that the Astros at at the deadline and how you feel, not only how they've played, but how they've

been used. Yeah, Sanchez hitting up in the lineup play mostly left field. I mean, he certainly hits the ball hard. He gives you that threat from the left side that you needed, a little more balance at the top of the lineup, which they didn't have. He seems to be a super likable

guy I think that's fit in pretty well so far. And Correa's Correa. I mean, it came back in like he never left. He's sitting there with, you know, Jose Altuvae to his side. Marvin Gonzalez was in the clubhouse of Florida. It was like everyone, the band was getting back together. But, you know, having him play third base, you know, I think he'll do really well over there. You know, he brings the better leadership as well.

And Urius is a guy that can sort of fill in and gives you another one of those utility players like Yvonne. I mean, I think there were all three great moves. I know they wanted to get a starting pitcher or a reliever. the cost was too high and I totally get that. They're sort of rolling the dice here with their rehabbing starters coming back

and hoping that they can give them something down the stretch. A couple more minutes here with Brian McTaggart, MLB.com with us here. What do you see in terms of playing time the rest of the way for Cam Smith, especially with the fact you've got Hesu Sanchez now on this baseball team. You've got some utility players.

You can move around. You can move Dubon to the outfield if you needed to. And again, if Yordon comes back, that may precipitate Jose going to left field. What is Cam's, unless again a high street comes into play, which very well could, but obviously his last month has not been his best month that's a major league. Yeah, I could see him losing the best to Sanchez, for sure. Sanchez playing, you know, right field and starts and right against left-handers.

And I guess right-handers, sorry, and Cam starting and right against lefties. You will have the Jordan situation when he comes back. I think the trades will just cut into his bats a little bit, especially if he continues not to be productive. There was a game in Miami. He had a couple of hits, but still he's come up in some big spots and not been able to get it done. So, you know, at this point in the season, you can't, you can't afford to run a guy out there who is struggling to play it. And now they have options where they can start somebody else. And Urius gives them good at bats and can play some positions. And they could put somebody else in right field, like you said, whether Sanchez or somebody else to get.

those at batts until Smith can get going. Last thing, Brian, I think I know the answer to this, but I want to get it from your perspective. The most encouraging thing about the Astros, the rest of the way, to me, is the lineup is lengthened. Now that you have Sanchez, now that you have Cardo's Correa, you've got Jeremy Payne your back. That, to me, is the most encouraging thing about the rest of the way. What do you think is the biggest alarm going off in the Astros organization with these 50 or so games left to go. I think it's probably depth of pitching, both starting and relieving.

I mean, Eric Getty's first start didn't go well. Yeah, he was a little rusty, so, you know, you give him another one. Javier hasn't thrown the ball great in his rehab starts, but, you know, he's going to be coming up here. Luis Garcia threw the ball really well last night at AAA, so that's a positive. But even on the relief side, I mean, who do you trust, you know, beyond those last two guys and a brayer and hated a hater? I mean, they went out and got a reliever, signed a reliever yesterday who had done.

in with the Braves and a guy that throws hard and maybe they can change some of his usage and he can become a key guy but do they have enough weapons in the bullpen? Is there enough starting pitching depth that can match them up and get them through a long seven game series? That again was Brian McTaggart on the MLBB and we're with us as part of the On Deck show later tonight as the Astros for the Yankees, all of the 10th inning show following tonight's game. Up next, Ross, I've got a Houston-centric edition of non-form.

Florida story. We find interesting stories that occur outside the state of Florida. And share them with the people of Houston. It's time for... All right, we're down the home stretch of Talia Brewing. We've got lots of nice people come by here staring at us saying, please draw those astro tickets. Please draw those astro tickets.

We're sick of looking. He said, you want some golf? They said, shut your bum ass up. Yeah. They're like, we've seen enough of you. We hear you all the time. irritate us. We just want those aster tickets. Yeah, that's what the cat calls, hurry up. Two o'clock, two o'clock. All right. So my non-flora story comes right here from Houston,

Ross. Really? Yes. What happened, Matt? Have you met Officer Jennifer Escalera? No. She's a deputy, or I don't know if she still is. She's a Harris County Precinct 5 deputy. She's on administrative leave. What happened? Well, she admitted something on her TikTok account that she probably shouldn't have admitted. Her quote, didn't get crack last night, so everyone's getting a ticket. What does get cracked mean, Matt? Met that special person?

That's so romantic. My dearest destimona, what's thou likeest to get cracks tonight? The now-deleted clip originally posted to TikTok. She'll see Uniformed Officer, writing. and on a notepad beneath a suggestive caption. I got news for her, Ross. She's an eight, at least. Okay. Maybe even a nine.

Well, she'd probably get cracked whenever she wants. She what? Like an omelet. No. When talking about women like we're talking about eggs. Oh, sorry. Harris County Precinct Constable's Office released a statement saying, our administration is aware of maternal affairs is open an investigation.

We have no other comment at this time of this fine-assful. No, that wasn't a night. Oh, come on. She's probably clearly joking, I imagine. Did she have an uptick to tickets that day? I don't know. What's the data say? I don't know, but, I mean, she and ugly.

Didn't get crack last night, so everyone's getting a ticket. So does that mean that if she got cracked, that she'd give away a bunch of warnings? I don't know. She'd be in a better move. That's true. And that is my non-40 story. Thank you, Matt.

We appreciate you. Do we lose the music or did it? No, I hear it. I can barely hear it. Let me help you out. Thank you very much. I appreciate that very much. All right, Matt, let me take you to Cincinnati.

Please. This is actually reporting from WKRC. Oh, not to be confused with WKRP. WKRC in Cincinnati, where there was a practicing doctor, and his name was Rudel Sanders. Roodell Sanders now, of course, has been practicing medicine for some time in Cincinnati. Yes. But unfortunately, recently became under fire because rather than conducting exams in his doctor's office, he was luring men into his apartment for genital exams.

What? Yes. Dr. Roodell Sanders was performing ultrasounds, quote, outside the scope of the practice. He has an ultrasound machine in his house? Investigators say Saunders lured several men to the bedroom of a Cincinnati apartment and performed ultrasounds on their private parts while allegedly secretly videotaping most of the encounters. This is a terrible story. You gotta be embarrassed. I'm getting laughs. I hear them.

No, they're all like, where's my asterisk? I'll take courtesy laughs. They're laughing. They're just, they're uncomfortably here. Saunders previously told the state medical board that his actions were for educational purposes. Huh. Prosecutors say he did not have clinical privileges to practice on his own unsupervised. Hey, Jonathan, you know what? I grew up in Cincinnati when I was a kid. Did I tell you that, Jonathan?

No. I did, I swear to go out there. He's already sniffed you out. My favorite disc jockey back in the day, his name was Dr. Johnny Fever. And you what you called Mr. Texas living in Cincinnati? Uh-oh. My favorite nighttime disc jockey was Venus Flytrap. And my favorite newsman was,

Les Nesman. That's the show. That's the radio show, no. Yeah, there was a turkey accident. We had a promotion back in the day when I used to work there. We threw a bunch of turkeys outside of a helicopter, hoping they would fly on their own, but they don't fly. All right, Jonathan, what's your non-flora story? Wait, I didn't tell you the charges real quick.

Oh, do I want to know? Practicing medicine without a license? Having an ultrasound machine, not there either? Voyeurism and sexual imposition. Okay. The thousands of stories you could have found, you couldn't have found something a little more pleasant? No. I had a cop.

I saw a story and I could use it. That's fair enough. Jonathan, please uplift us. Please uplift us here. Okay. In August 2020, 2003, News of the Weird reported the arrest of Kalee, Kourdesk Crowder of Glendale, California for the unusual fetish of butt sniffing. Now he's back in the news, according to KTLA TV. Crowder was arrested on July 22nd at a Walmart in Burbank after he crouched behind a woman at a Nordstrom rack and inappropriately sniffed her buttocks.

Crowder, who's a frequent flyer with Los Angeles County, was on active parole for his previous offenses and had his bill set at $100,000. He needs to be put away for good, one alleged victim, has said. Where was this again? Glendale, California. He was a shirt with a butt sniffer. At what location? Glendale, California. was it a department store

no it was in a Walmart Northstrom rack that's what I was a Walmart or Walmart and Nordstrom rack a Walmart in Burbank and he crouched behind a woman at a Nordstrom rack how do you subtly do that I don't think he's very subtle he's gotten arrested

multiple times well it is nicknamed his villain name oh don't even oh boy no no no no you've already got a nickname it got us in trouble last week yeah we're here from the FCC we got a letter We can't say hog nuts on the show over again because of you.

I thought we're saying it a lot to begin with. His nickname is felon. All right, so we've given you really three pretty uncomfortable stories. I want to know who these guys are that thought it would be a good idea to go to this dude's apartment to get an ultrasound. Maybe on the cheap, I don't know. He offered him a discount. Hey, guys, if you come to my apartment instead of the medical clinic, half off ultrasounds. That's

Oh And those are non-Flority stories All right Every one of these people that are still here Are like, we had to sit through that second We had a lot of impatient toe tapping right now Oh my God, they're like, can Is there another show I can listen to while I'm here waiting for these Astero tickets?

Yeah, they're watching Nick Wright Oh my God All right All right, 144, no believe it or not today which means the final segment of the show can be a person I can call in. No, I'm good. We can get one definitive call before the end of the show. And then we're going to draw these Astro tickets because people are like, we've got to get going.

We've got to get out of here. 713-213-2-5-790. 7-1-3-2-790. We're here at Talia Brewing for another 50 minutes. Come on by and say hello, get those tickets in before 2 o'clock. Get your self-register because we're going to give them away in about 15 right here on Sports Talk 790. One sports thing, one non-sports thing. Ohio couple who struggle with infertility for years had a healthy baby boy last month using an embryo that was frozen for more than 30 years.

Yeah, I saw that. Does that make the kid 31? No, I think when you pop out of the womb, it's your birth date. Is that right? Okay. I mean, technically aren't eggs in the woman from birth? I guess. Let's move on.

Okay, that's fine. I need a ruling on that. But I guess it was fertilizing now? 94? Oh, I don't know. I wasn't there. You weren't there? No. You didn't have your camcorder out? Your Sony? No, I did Sony CapCorpter. I did do for my

for Cameron's birth and that was 24 hours. You did? Ran out of a tape. You were sitting there for 24 hours. You're sitting there recording like, man, I can't wait to watch this again. Oh, God, no. I never saw it. She, she was in labor for 24 hours. She's like, I would like to see her cursing you.

Women, when they are pregnant for the, labor for that long or just yelling at you. I mean, ad nausea. Yeah, she's like in the fight for her life and you're over there just videotaping with a grin on your face. You want to hear the all-time story about children? No.

All right, I won't. I was going to mention it. So my middle son, Payton, was born. Yes. And she had the baby. Yes. My mother was with me, and my mom and I said,

we're going to get some dinner, and then we'll come back, and we'll help out whenever we can. So we sit down at Maltmass Cross the street This is at 59 and Hillcroft On the way back to Houston's matter of fact And we get down and she calls me

And she says, you've got to come here Payton is screaming and won't stop screaming They need you to come help You know my response was I could have said A, I can't wait to get there I'll be there as fast as I can Uh huh You know my response was that she still gives me

Crapton's day about it But our salad just got here Kim Thomas lost her blank on that. Yeah, that sounds about right. So every time we're with friends, she's like, remember this time when our second son was born and how you didn't want to come to help me because your salads got there? So it's a story.

I don't know if she should forget about that one. All right. Astro's Yankees this weekend, that's awesome. What were you on the pay phone? No, cell phone. Okay. It was one of those ones that had the antenna, bigger phone. 1990, what was it?

It had a spinning satellite thing on it. When was he born? He was born in 2001, so it was a decent size. Oh, okay. It wasn't one of those bag phones. Prime Co. Stop. I think it was Gulf State Senator.

See? Shadow O.Gs. All right, Texans Vikings tomorrow. If your, if your... I forgot. D'Miko is... CJ's not playing, right? I don't think.

I don't know. I think Joe Burroughs playing for the Natty. He did through a touchdown pass last night. To Jemar Chase. Anthony Rich. Richardson's playing for the Colts? Oh, bad example. That didn't turn out very well for them.

So, yeah, I wouldn't. Go full Sean McVeigh-style. He didn't play anybody. The whole preseason. I would play next week. Yeah. A little bit. I'm okay with that.

Whatever. It's no big deal. And I do feel sorry for NFL season ticket holders because they do have to pay full price for a preseason game. But, you know, that's been the case for decades. I mean, it's not anything new on. of that. They know going in. My always philosophy was, you should

make those tickets $10 a piece of people that can't go during the regular season get a little glimpse of what it is they're going to watch. And you're still going to make your money and your parking and your concessions. I don't know if they throw it in and then it ends up lowering the average or something like that. Well, the problem is if you do that, then the people that do

pay the regular prices, wait a minute. I got people that don't ever go to games are paying $10. Meanwhile, I'm the season ticket, where I've got to pay the full price. Whatever they're doing, I'm sure they're maximizing the amount of dollars they can squeeze out. I'm pretty sure of that. Yeah, apparently there's a new score, better scoreboard of NRG.

Oh, great. New sound system. Okay. More to hear Clay Walker's god-awful song. It's coming. That's how I become a fan. Oh, could they get rid of Clay Walker? Not like, get rid of, I don't want to die.

What are all your conditions? Two rules. No more Clay Walker? No more Clay Walker. No more football time in Houston, and they win the Super Bowl. Then I'm a fan. No, you said they go to the Super Bowl. See, you're a liar.

That's fine. Go to the Super Bowl. What if they go to the Super Bowl? They still use Clay Walker. No, I'm a fan. Okay. You know what? Since I am Mr. Texan.

Right? No. You're not Mr. Texan. Houston Texans or Texas? Mr. Texas. You're not Mr. Texas. I told you. You're not getting out of the primaries.

I might even get you on the ballot. I've got news for you. I've been in more Texas counties than you have. So what? That makes me Mr. Texas. No, you hate Dr. Pepper and enchiladas and brisket. You're out. I don't hate brisket. I'm sorry, you hate Dr. Pepper.

I don't like Dr. Pepper. You hate enchiladas? I don't like enchiladas. I would eat them. You love beans and chili? I didn't say that. You're out. You're banned.

You're done. You know what? You're done, son? That's why people, they do a survey about you, they don't like you. You should run for Mr. Connecticut on that platform. No, it's not true. Because you're not Mr. Texas. I like country music. Okay.

I like boots. I like gravy. I'm a chicken, Fred steak. You don't like cream gravy, I thought. I like green gravy. Oh, I've changed. Oh, you've changed?

Yeah. I didn't get the memo. I like red beans and rice. That's from New Orleans. Same difference. Okay. And I don't insult Galveston, and I don't insult Beaumont. You've done both of those things today.

I told you, when your family, you could insult your family. I go to Galveston, but I'm not going to lie to myself and tell me it's pristine, it's pristine crystal blue waters. It's beautiful. I'm going to head down there right now. Beautiful. Get these lily white arms of mine toned up. beautiful brown seaweed. That's ridiculous.

All right. Astros will have Hunter Brown on the mound against? Go ahead, say it? Schlittler. Cam Schlittler. Let me tell you something. Y'all are going to listen to Robert Ford, see how he butchers the name throughout the course of the broadcast. No, Robert Ford's got it. Sparks has got it?

Sparky's going to make jokes. He's going to. There's going to be at least two Schlitler puns from Sparky time. Correct. Schlittler's list? Ooh. I don't know if you want to touch that one. I don't think so. A holocaust? That seemed rather inappropriate.

That's a stay away. That's a stay away. I'll be with you on the 10th inning show. Me? Me. Okay. I will be. Thank you, you'll be with me.

All these people that have stared at us for the last half hour. I'm sorry. Somebody's winning Astor tickets in about two seconds. Okay. Up next. Clanton, Wexler, the A team. I'll talk to you after Astros, Yankees here on Sports Talks of the night. Yeah.
