Episode Date: October 31, 2025

Anything Goes Friday! Game 6 of World Series Tonight!

is the Matt Thomas show with Ross. To a Friday edition of the Matt Thomas show and Ross, this is Sports Talk 790. Yeah, herbal tea and all that, you're just treating the symptoms. You've got to treat the disease, Matt. It's the bottom, what's going on?

Maybe I need a therapist. I'm dead in your psyche, yeah. I mean, I'm all for it. So if you, any of you might want to be my therapist. I know the last one quit on you. The co-payment. At least one of a stereotype on this show. Oh, yeah, don't do it.

Yeah, there's a lot you can't say. There's a lot I can't say. My two-payer ones I can't even mention on the radio. 12-16, it is the Matt Toppish show with Ross. 7-1-3-2-14. Yeah, let's get off of Mamas because I just got off of yours. Sorry. You didn't dump that.

I apologize. I just, I didn't. I didn't say I just because you don't, you didn't go to the Red Bluff to watch porn on the driving. First of all, you didn't even go to the Red Bluff porn. I don't know if 20-year-old's, He said, hey, guys, what are you all doing tonight? Let's go watch some porn in a drive-in. I don't know if that's...

Probably, dudes were, well, him and Gill and his broskies were doing it. Gail! Get him in the trunk. What's that knocking on the trunk? It's not his legs. Or his arms. Which one has James Hardin's jersey retired in it? Oh, are you talking about strip clubs?

Uh-huh. I believe it was dreams. But I cannot confirm or deny. Okay. I've also heard that they have some good fried chicken wings at the wing joint in the back. I've heard. Really? Can I confirm or deny that?

Your head is huge, man. They need to start calling you like, you're not honest, dude. Like, that's your conference on that thing. It's just like enormous, dude. Gio, I need you just for your firm of reference to send me a picture of yourself. Because, dog, I'll go at you 10 times harder. Love you. You know, it's almost like

I never want to miss a Friday under any circumstances. I just feel like it's a fun. Fridays are fun. We're looking forward to what's ahead. Yes, we play those clips. We need to wake the strippers up at noon. You get to preview big Texans games. Big Texans games.

Woo! The Denver Broncos in town on the frozen tundra of NRG. By the way, it'll be chilly and here's 72 degree. Yeah, that's frozen tundra in Houston. You know frozen and tundra are really the same thing? Tundra, you can't have warm tundra. It's redundant. Yeah.

Okay. I think tundra is frozen grass. Okay. I am not going to make a prediction on the game. I think it's too hard to tell. It's too close to call? Yeah. You're going full like NBC election coverage on us?

You can't do that. Yeah, I'm going to. How many percent of the precincts are reporting? Zero, because I'm not going to even check on them. All right. You know what? Do you know the reason why? No.

weak sauce, that's why. Because you've been getting them all wrong. Well, first of all, I get them wrong. Second of all, the general public doesn't care. And number three, you have the best pass rush in the NFL going against one of the worst offensive lines. So you would think, okay, Denver Feast. Yes. But then you've got Denver, who is a good offense, but not elite,

going against maybe perhaps a top three defense. But our friends at PFF have them as the number two offensive line. Okay, so using that, you would lean towards... It's the unstoppable force versus the unmovable object. You would lean towards it would being a Denver victory. Because they would have two sides of the ball that would be significantly advantaged. But I'm not wanting to do that because I think Denver is good, not great. And good teams, great teams usually go on the road and win.

Sometimes good teams can slip up. And the Texans are feeling better. They're going to have Nico Collins back. They're going to have Christian Kirk back. They may not have Dalton Schultz back. Yes, wow. But so I'm saying I'm going to, you know, when you ever look at a political show when they say, no, well, I'm going to just say this. Our latest poll shows this where they have, 48% say yes, 47% say no and then 5% of no opinion.

I'm going with no opinion this week. Hmm. Okay. And if you want to call me a fraud, 713, 212, 5, 790. You're a fraud, Matt. This is major market radio. People come to you. You are an authority on sports.

They want to know what you think about the game. I am the Texans insider. No, no, you're not that. Adam Wuxler is the Texan's insider. No, no. He's actually at practice this week. How many practices do you go to this week? Zero.

He's the Texans go-to guy. He's a practicing down stories. The Texans insiders, Adam Wexler. What was the last time Waxler broke a story? I mean, yesterday. What was it? It was the practice squad signings. Oh, is that right?

Yeah. He was all over that. I get him credit for that. By the way, it's good to see you. Hey, man. It's good to see you, too. I pulled a college week for you. You're on the MWF schedule.

That's okay. You know, it's funny because when I was a freshman in college, I thought, well, a couple of classes every day is better than doing a massive haul on three days a week. So I would have like three on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and then I'd have two on Tuesday, Thursday. After the first semester, I'm like, what am I doing? Just get them all knocked out over three days. Oh, okay. I thought you're going to say load up on Tuesday, Thursday. So my second semester, I did four.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes. Uh-huh. Did not take any breaks. I went one, bam, bam, bam. I, then I took lunch breaks in my first semester. I screwed it up because I wound up going on lunch and then just skipping the last class. So I went to four semester, four Monday, Wednesday, Fridays in row. And then I took a once a week night class.

So I kind of had, I think either had a Tuesday or Thursday where I had nothing to do a whole day. Night class? Yeah. Like a five to eight once a week kind of thing. Okay. Tripping. I would never do that. Yeah, that's ridiculous.

Oh, it was like at the community college or the regular college? No, this is at North Texas. Okay. Now, when I got to the University of Houston, I was unable to, I couldn't do that because I was working. Yeah, you don't want to be on campus on night. I get it. I mean, it's safer now. I just mean anywhere, Matt.

It's more dangerous at night. It's true. Okay. It didn't matter where when I scheduled my classes. I didn't go. Is that sure with me? Here I am. Here you are.

A byproduct of skipping school? You work with Matt Thomas for almost 16 years. Oh, I'm going to throw up. No, you're not. So the reason why I'm. here and not with the Rockets is yesterday I came back from Toronto to see my daughter's final high school

volleyball game. Tears were shed. We unfortunately and lost. Not a surprise. We were not favored in the matchup. The Vegas odds were not in the money line. Who did you play? We played Clear Creek on the Money Line. Huh? You had Clear Creek on the Money Line? So I was brought

my, and I'm going to go ahead and out the coach because I don't really care. It's season's over with. So I've been doing the announcing at my daughter's high school games. You know, when they play Kingwood games. And my coach said, hey, can you come back to town?

You're going to be able to come back to town to see Carly's volleyball match? I said, you know what? It actually works out okay. I can fly home from Toronto yesterday. Get here, take a nap, and then call the game. So I get to the high school and I'm getting ready to start with the line. I'm saying the

coach comes over and says, hey, I want you know the other coaches not want you to do the play-by-play during the game. You know, like now serving, set point, ace. I mean, yeah, that's not real play-by-play. It's not real play-by-play. It's just public address announcing. And I intentionally did not wear Kingwood gear to the game because I want to come across and I want to introduce.

So I introduced the lineups and I did not favor one team or the other. I did it. And that was done. And it was like, well, why aren't you calling? I guess because the other coach didn't want me to. Did you talk to him? No. You tell him to shut his bum ass up?

I will now. Okay. I've made your market radio show. And I almost feel like saying, bra. What do you feel like there'd be some kind of bias or influence on referees? He obviously thought that I was going to be biased towards Kingwood. Okay. Which is sad, but, you know, to each his own.

Maybe he just saw you on TV and got jealous. Well, I mean, they won, so they got scoreboard. That's true. My daughter's high school's career is right. Going on University of Rhode Island, say, go Rams? Let's go Rams. Go Rams. Is she going, is she still going to be in Kingwood this semester?

Or she going enrolling early? No, no. She's going to be finished out school. Okay. And then she's got her club season coming up and then off to Kingston, Rhode Island after that. You're still doing club? Oh, yeah. Don't get me started.

I mean, I did want to, I'm not trying to do the reality is. My daughter is getting a scholarship. She's got a scally. She's got to save the cash. But I prepaid all these years of club. I got you. But really, it's almost like telling Carly, you have to get a scholarship.

You know how much I'm spending you on a club all these years? So there you have it. So I'm here with you today. Hi. And then I'm leaving for Boston right after the thing. And then you're shipping up to Boston. Yeah. Please go to Boston. That's a great song, by the way.

Dave Loggins, I believe us? I don't know that. I'm talking about shipping up to Boston. Have you heard the song, Please Come to Boston? That sounds made up. We're going to play it. Okay. But, okay, we're going to play Halloween songs. We're going to play Halloween songs, too. Yes, thank God. And, ladies and gentlemen.

Out of here, please. Anybody with the last name, Loggins band today. Okay. Jonathan, it's... Unless I want a new drug because it's the real Ghostbusters theme. We're going to play, please come to Boston. Oh, crudely. You're going to annihilate it. Then why are we doing it? Because it's everything goes Friday.

Clearly. And then rest of the day after that, it's going to be Halloween. Well, on Tuesday and Thursday, we had a rule. Nothing before 1979. But you didn't not do the fantasy, the Rotten Five yesterday. Oh, yeah, we did. No, you didn't. Yeah, we did.

Jonathan. Just say yes, Jonathan. He's on the phone. Jonathan, did you go to the Rotten Five yesterday? Yes. Yes. Yes, we did the Rotten Five yesterday. Yeah.

I don't believe. I think he's lying. I think these two guys are lying. Hey, anybody called the show. The day to the rotten five yesterday. It's supposed to be at $12.50. Did you talk about the commissionist court with Matt? Never ran on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.

Oh, Commissioner's Court. Some people tagged you in the... Yes, I didn't understand what it was. So we came up with a bit because somebody was asking, we were doing, I just don't get it. And my, I just don't get it was there's this fantasy league I'm in. They have all these crazy rules. So I asked people about crazy rules in their leagues.

And then some people were coming and saying, hey, I need a ruling in this fantasy league. and then that's when thus commissioners court was born which we can do it we can play like the people's court theme we played the law and order theme we had people call in and they gave us their issues people were having in their fantasy leagues

and we made rulings like for example there was a guy and I'll just give you the scenario Matt and you make a rule okay please he the limit in the league is 30 moves 30 waiver moves or pickups the guy's already made 30 moves

he's complaining to the commissioner that he's already hit his limit and it's only week nine. So? If it's 30 moves, 30 moves. That's what I said. First of all, if you're making 30 moves so far this year. So I looked it up. I've made 25 moves in our league. I've had a ton of injuries.

But don't have the rule then. I've had a ton of injuries. I've had a bad draft and I normally stream defenses and I've been streaming quarterbacks. I mean, I haven't been making a bunch of crazy moves. 30 moves honestly can be low. you've got a bunch of injuries. Well, you know, we used to do this. We don't do that anymore, but back five or six years ago, you could make 10 free and then it would cost you a dollar after that. We added to the pot. You could do that. But why, this is cut and dry. If the max is 30 moves,

the max is 30 moves. I know. That's what I said. Some people do just a dollar from the beginning, dollar move. Yeah, that can really good price. Or they do auctions where you have to bid on players. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. So it worked out well. I mean, we don't want to do it. I mean, you want it every week or do you want to do it? It's kind of difficult to say, hey, call in on a Tuesday. What if nobody's got an issue in their league? Or anything in life. Or we can ask Monday, hey, if you have questions for commissioner's court and then we do them on Tuesday.

Or sorry, you know, whatever. We'll figure it out. Wednesday. Maybe Wednesdays, when waiver Wednesdays, when waivers clear. And those are slower days normally. 10 and in a new slower, too. Yeah, it's fine. Okay. So on the show today, I'm sorry.

Is it 1130? Yes. And yeah, there you go. Ryan came up with the name, Commissioner's Court. I was going to call it Fantasy Football Court, but Commissioner's Court is pretty catchy. Yeah, I don't think we're doing... Did you see the AI pictures of us? I saw one.

It was you. You literally looked good. I did not look so good. I don't think any of us looked good. I can't find here it is. And it says commissioneers court. Yeah, that doesn't look like you. That doesn't look like me. That doesn't look like Jonathan.

Yeah, that's an 0 for 3 on that one. But it's the thought that counts. They made Jonathan the bailiff stuff. Okay, so here's the thing today on the show. 11.30, I'm sorry. Yes. Wake the strippers up at noon. Yes.

Andy Lindahl from Denver. Andy Lindahl? Yeah, we've had them on before. Yes, we have. Back in the day. Back when I was chasing down guests. Oh, Robert says they did rot in five. Okay, I can't wait to get.

See? Yeah, that's good. I'm glad you did. He'll be with us at 1230 today. It's great. Dr. Rodot at 1 o'clock. Robert is going to do. And Jonathan is losing his Fantasy 5 virginity today.

He is. Yes. Because we've done this. Yes. You and I are out of this. We've done best and worst. So it's two new perspectives on an age-old game. And I feel like, look, if you've listened to every one of our candy ones over the years, we bless you. But we can't think that everybody's listened to every October 31st.

That's true. We can redraft. So, no, it's not you and me. We're out. I know. I know we're not. It's going to be Cole Thompson, who you just heard against Jonathan on the best Halloween candy on the Fantasy 5. And you are Judge 1.

I am Judge 2. Okay, great. So we just can sit back and listen. Love it. I like that. I like to kick my feet up. I figured. And we got hell of your not to get to today, too.

So a lot going on on a Friday edition of the show. Shout out to the city of Toronto. Beautiful place. And by the way, I forgot to mention this. And I know we're super late here. Do you know during the national anthem, the woman came out and sang American, the God bless, I'm not a Star Spangled Banner. Yes.

You spit at it. I loved it. I sang. But the most important. impressive part was he then said or she said okay now it's y'all's turn and she said uh oh canada our home in native land and then she backed off the entire crowd saying it wow that was it i haven't had a video of it yes you can't do that in america because it's the greatest national you've been in the concert you're like man these people are way off beat well you can do hey jude you go

nah nah no no no no no no you're dead for about three minutes it's usually like concerts you like to go to it's fair all right please come to boston is the next bump oh cramity and then after that it's holloyne music it's the matt thomas show ross 1017 here on sports talk 790 you let me tell you something if you had a girlfriend with long hair you play with her hair during this song Matt you would thrive at west of kentucky you know that i know it would i would let me tell you something if i lived in western kentucky they'd call me mr kentucky they'd call me mr kentucky They call me the ultimate hilltoper.

This is actually not that bad. This guy's kind of soulful. Thank you. Dave Loggins? Is it Kenny's cousin or what? I don't know if they're really or not. Here comes the chorus, and we'll get to the show, I promise.

No, he's got a soulful voice. And she said, I'm the number one fan of the man from Tennessee. Is this song on my phone? Jonathan quickly, yes or no? A thousand percent. I'll say no. It's on my phone.

All right, so that's it. Coming in from Anonymous Sorcerer Works here, this song sucks. Who is that? Is it Clanton's second cousins with Kenny Loggins? Okay. All right, so the rest of the way, Jonathan, you get to pick all your favorite Halloween song. That brother can sing? It wasn't bad.

Awesome. All right. And are you ready? You got your candy list ready for the Fantasy Five? I'm trying to, I have it ready, but I think I'm going to make some. Make a Top Ten, by the way. You're going to make a top ten. A rookie mistake is to only make five because you might have yours taken.

So I did it. I did it. Did you make five? Yeah, I did it. I did it. Aren't you glad I helped you? And go to Google. We gotta help the young man.

And Google lists are your friends, by the way. See what other people are thinking too. I'll give you another pro tip. A lot of times going, if you're like on the fence about something, going with the crowd isn't the worst if you're trying to get on her votes. It's like politics. It's like politics. Sometimes, I mean, you have to go with what you believe,

but sometimes you can tow the line. Now, I'll only get upset if I lose by a land side. If I get like a, it's a tight race, then I'm fine. It's almost difficult. Now, they're going to be upset if you lose it all. There is one candy that if it makes the list, either one of your list, you're toast. Uh, okay, that would be the orange and black toffee, so don't even say. No one's going to pick those.

Because reunite her judges. Uh, please come to Boston hit number five in 1974, by the way. Let me tell you something. This comes to zero surprise. All right. If you could take me back to 1974 as like a 26 year old as compared to I was two, I would thrive. I mean, I'm thriving now, but I could really thrive in 1974. I'm good.

But see, that's the, the old days are always better, Matt. I know. That's how we feel. If you said that, you'd be feeling about it. Oh, it'd put me in 1955. I don't want to go that far. I know I wouldn't want to go there. I don't want to 55.

Are you kidding me? You know, no, no internet? Mm-hmm. No, no Wi-Fi? No 800 channels available. No, no Sunday ticket? No, no, no. Radio's team, though.

Come on now. Red Zone channel? I mean, everything was simple. Our gas was like 19 cents a gallon. You can sit on your couch on a Saturday and you can watch college football for about 20 hours if you're catching the Rainbow Warriors. Oh, hell.

ESP has got that 915 kickoff that hits well. That's what I'm saying. Because there was somebody complaining like, in order to watch college football, I need ESPN Plus, and I need Prime Video, and I need CBS. I'm like, yeah, back in the day, there was like two games on.

And that was it. Okay? I'm sorry you can watch all the games. 15 years ago, ABC would do four regional games. And if you, if you, if you, If you wanted to watch a really great SEC game on, but you had Tech Baylor instead, guess what? You're not watching Alabama, Tennessee. You're getting Tech Baylor in Regional.

You're absolutely right. When I was like nine years old, I, you know, I was, you know, you ban wagon hop when you were a kid. I was ban wagon hop in Michigan Wolverines and I couldn't watch them because they weren't on in Houston. Yeah. If you live in Detroit, you were golden in Houston, you're SOL. Let's go to Robert on 790 at 1026. Robert, good morning. Hey, good morning, guys.

Matt, you got to have more faith in your car. co-workers, man. Thank you. Funny story. I actually do Rotten 5 with Ross to see, like, comparison. And so we had the same five teams, which is pretty funny. Yeah. Thank you, Robert.

I believe both of you are lying POSs. Why do you say that? Yeah, I appreciate you, Robert, man. Thank you for the support. Yes, sir. Robert, you're a fraud. Have a great weekend. That's rude.

Thank you, Robert. Thank you, Robert. Roger. I don't know what you were supposed to do, was ask us what our five were. No, because you would make them up. You would just... Yeah, but he said we had the same ones. Frankly, when he said that I had more faith in...

When he said you didn't have more faith in your coworkers, I lost the conversation. Roger, good morning. Good morning, Matt. Guys, I just... I thought I was under the impression you like your little. listeners and your most importantly your listeners,

because that song blows hard. No, no, no. You're the only one. Ross likes it. Johnman likes it. Now, for a sports radio show on a Friday, it's horrible.

If you just dropped acid and you're sitting in a circle with a mandolin in your flower child, yes, you're fine. But for a sports radio show, it's bad. If you're born in another era, Matt, if you're born in another era,

you wouldn't be able to do what the rocket's calls, that's for sure. And your sports announcers because they're like, and here comes, whatever, but twist the rounds, slam dunk. You wouldn't want to do that, man.

I like, we like the way you are, man. You know what? I am, you know what I am, I'm Mr. 2025.

You're right about that. Oh, gosh, you're missed something. There you go. Anyway, I got a general rocket question for you. Yeah. With Fred Van Fleet out and question will return,

I think that's some of our identity missing from the team. Now, the other day, when we were hit for like, I don't know, a thousand three-pointers and still managed to win the game comfortably. I'm not sure where our identity is, but I like the length of the team. I just don't know where we're going to be at. It's still early, very early, small sample size.

But what would you give a gray or what kind of identity are you looking at right now? In your opinion, since you're close to the, Roger. Thank you. All right. I appreciate it, Roger. Have a good weekend. I look forward to hearing you call in on the, hell, yeah, or not for the, How are we doing on Cougar tickets, by the way?

We got Cougar tickets today, correct? Yeah, we're doing good, yeah. Okay, do we want to do one or correct or two correct the answers for the prize? We've got to get rid of those Cougar tickets. Honestly, we might just do one because I don't think we have really much. I think we got two, five that took, but that was really it. Oh, yeah, we'll do one correct answer today for the prizes. That'll really help you out.

Okay, my answer is, when I brought this up with my close friend Ross, you know I had Kevin Duran on the post game show that tonight? Yes, he's awesome. He is awesome. I know. He's, I'm just, I don't, I'll, I'll ever have the, man love for him like you do, but it's getting closer.

You're seeing the light. He's crushing people on Twitter. I was never anti Kevin Durant. You see, you're a hater. That's not true. Kevin Durant hater. No, that's not true. The lot of is. He and I kind of had the same message. It can't be Kevin Durant's team every night. He's going to walk into 20 for three points

a game or 26. Yeah. But look who's been heroes one night. You had Jabari Smith one hero one night. You had a man Thompson a hero one night. You had Alper and Shangoon one night. You've got Katie takes over. That's the identity of this rocket team, is that if you're going to make this championship run, hopefully whatever it is, it can't be 37-year-old Kevin Durant.

I don't know if he's going to be able to physically do it 82 games. So far, he's shooting 50% now. He's not shooting well from three so far this season. But other than that, God, Rossi, that left elbow, right elbow jumper, it's just about automatic. It's funny, you say that because I was talking about that in the postgame show Wednesday, and then I was talking about it yesterday as well. I'm already spoiled.

You're already like, layup, that's in. You know, kind of like how we were with maybe James Harden or Chris Paul in the midrange? You're like, lay up, that's going in. Like, I'm spoiled already. It's almost like I can call the shot going in before it actually falls through. Exactly, exactly. You're like, lay up, go the other side of the floor. Yeah.

Let's see how the defense is lining up. It's great. So, yeah. It's a luxury. I think Jabari has to take the next step. I think Alpi has to be super, super consistent. I think a men, you know, look, unfortunately, I think he's an 0 for 10 star from three so far this year, which isn't a man, yeah. That's not.

But again, you don't, if you're winning games and you don't have a men shooting threes, they'll be nice. I would say get them ready for the playoffs. Maybe he's saving himself for the postseason. Okay. That's what I've got to think at this point. But yeah, they're winning games despite the fact he's not shooting overly well. But it's funny. Now, Toronto, I think, had 23-pointers internet, and the rocket still creamed him.

So, yeah. We are seeing a trend. They shot 50%, but the Rockets shot 57%. We are seeing a trend right now. We have offensive teams just scoring at a Prolific rate right now. Yes, I think it'll come down to an extent.

I mean, the players are just so good. They're so skilled. And also, by the way, for all this talk about how clunky the Rockets office has been and maybe disjointed and needing some ball handling, they're number one. Now, small sample size. Sure.

They're number one in the NBA in offensive rating, which points per procession. They're number one in the NBA. And by the way, they're also thinking, well, you got all these older guys. They're not slow. Well, Kevin Durant's not as fast as you should be. No, but if it's not, it's not, they're not clogging up the lane and what. When you have Adams, when you have Adams and Durant on the floor at the same time,

you would naturally think, okay, things are going to slow down a little bit. They're just not. They're still pacing very well. 1032, Sports Talk, 790. It's a Matt Thomas Show, Ross. 713-2-190.790. 7-1-3-2-1-2-2-5-790. And anything goes Friday here on 790.

You ready for a ridiculously hot take? I would rather listen to Halloween music than Christmas music. Well, you're going to be playing the same nine songs on a loop. Okay, so it's not as, they're not going to have the variety. No. And you're a Christmas music hater guy. I am Christmas music. What I tell you, Christmas Eve is fine?

No, you said Christmas. I think you've said Christmas Day only. You might be right. Turn this up. This is such a jam. By the way, I did put out a tweet earlier today, and I'm surprised you sarcastic SOBs didn't give out more responses. I can give you a sarcastic response.

Hold on. Give me a second. It is. My question was, what is your favorite naughty, blank costume? And I want wrong answers only. What do you want? What's the number one? So far the same school girl.

This is a good, these are some good ones. Nauty, meaner made. I don't know. I would take it. I would take a good meet. You have a parking violation, baby. I like these, actually. Noddy midday radio host? Hmm.

That's it. That's all I got. No, that's not true. Oh, it must be people you've blocked or muted because you've got more. Well, there's four respond. I see four. Yeah. I have a one of a picture of naughty nurses, but that's a good answer. That's not a bad answer. And then one I can't say.

You didn't see Nottie Grill Master, Cal McNair? No. Who is that? Yeah, I probably got that person muted or blocked. Oops. Or muted? No, they can't respond. are blocked.

Sorry. God. That's a pretty funny one. Nottie grill master Cal McNair. By the way, you see he spoke earlier this week? Hannah?

Oh, it was Hannah. It was mostly Cal, but there was some Hannah in the mix, too. I think there was, well, because Janice is going into the ring of honor, right? Yes, she is. Which you did call. Yes, I did.

Yes, I did. And she played linebacker, I believe, correct? You know, I'm, uh, you know, I'm not letting you do this to me. I'm in a good mood. Going to Boston tonight. Yeah, she had eight tackles for loss in 2003. I'm going to be illegal seafoods tomorrow for lunch.

Not let you do this to me. Yeah. She won most improved player. Mm. Mm-mm. What? Mm-mm. You're not going to me.

You're just not. Okay, good. So Janice is going into, of course, not as a player as well. Well, you know, they were, they were at a fire station the other day. For what? They donated $5,000 to the HFD. Five thousand? Is there...

Did it fall out of Cal's pocket? What? They're billionaires. Are you serious? The Houston Fire Department? What is their annual funding? $5,000. That's like 10 plates of the fundraiser.

What? What? I look. I'm not just, trying to pocket check anybody, but I am trying to pocket check people. They made it an... All right, guys, we'd like to make an announcement. We've got two reams of paper for the elementary school.

We're making a donation. So when I saw... What? I was on the flight. I don't know where was I? This was on Wednesday. I must have been in Toronto. No, I was off because I was going to come in. So I saw the donation, and I thought maybe there was a zero missing.

That barely covers the lost wages from having to go to this press conference. And, no, it was Tuesday. Because they, they, they, they, the Texans go out in the community on Tuesdays. That's embarrassing. So, I went to check on multiple people that cover the team. Okay. And I kept seeing 5 comma, zero zero. Mm-hmm.

And that's all I saw. And, you know, look, donations are lovely. Yes. We should never. No, God. Yeah, if an individual drops 5Gs, Matt, if you drop 5Gs, that's awesome. I can't scrape together 5Gs to drop there. I can't.

but these people are billionaires and they had a press conference for this well because to pat themselves on the back well it wasn't a press conference it was the Texans put out an email that say hey here we are in the community oh my God Hal and Kana

Hannah and Kala Hannah and Kall were at a I believe at a fire station like Brennifer yeah Brennifer they were at a they were there and they made the donation of $5,000.

Oh, one to each to the HPD and HFD apparently. So that's 10 total. At least they got into the five figures. I didn't see the other part. Now, if they were donating $5,000 to each station, that would be a write-off for you. We're talking about our firefighters laying their lives on the line every day and our police officers laying their lives on the line every day. Five Gs, Cal?

what's the deal? You spent that on your gaming setup. I decided coming back from Toronto. You know, when you leave the country, you want to come back as a nicer person? Oh, okay. I mean, am I saying anything off base? So let's defend them for one quick second. Okay.

My guess is the Houston Texans Foundation is a very, very charitable cause. Absolutely. And have given millions and millions of dollars over the years. Presumably. I mean, anytime there's been a hurricane, I believe they gave to the, uh, Central Texas Fund. Yeah, and it's all tax right off. Okay.

Well, that's not here nor there. Okay. You still have to go to the bank and go give the money. That's true. So. I guess. Oh, God. You know what?

I'm going to be nicer. Thank you, Texans, for giving $10,000. Thank you. To the HFD and the HPD. Is that correct? Five apiece. Five apiece. On the phones next.

I was going to go down this road and you sent me down this road. What road? The road of pocket watching. That's fine. Ooh, somebody's got beef with Ross. We'll hear from that person. This person also serves barbecue of correct? That is correct.

So he's got delicious barbecue. Is he serving Ross's beef? You want some of my beef, Matt? No. You've served beef before around here and it wasn't very good. I got to be honest, I'm not the best at smoking beef. We have a friend of ours is a, terrible brisket maker.

Called former co-worker of ours. It was apparently renowned for horrific brisket making. Lincoln Riley? Is he, we've worked with Lincoln Riley before? I don't know. I don't think so. Was Lincoln doing mornings on our station at some point? I think so.

713-212-5-790. Please go out at night. Please go out at night. Please go out at night. these are all your picks by the way yeah the dog and the 8 till 12 through the party

really starts the OG song to me is Monster Mash Of course You know that song I normally play the JJ Watt Gordy one We have that somewhere? I think so

We gotta play it if I do Gordy normally saves his parodies He's very proud of his parodies Even though he doesn't make him anymore Isn't I'm like three or four years We used to beg him Then we shamed him It doesn't work he just doesn't care anymore

He's too busy putting on a Kirby Smart costume at Lockdown SEC. Is that what he went as? No, I'm just kidding. By the way, Coach O'clock. Big miss on me on to tell the truth today. I thought Scott Woodward was just going to be just the face and just say, oh, you said he wasn't going to get.

Boy, fired. That governor Landry in Louisiana, I don't know who he is. And if they hire a power for coach, that one will go down. And if Lynn Kiffin moves from Ole Miss, that one go down. But those aren't good feelings. I know. Those just to tell the truth. I know.

Those are just takes in mine. You can say, man, that's a bad take. Oh, I know. You can say that's a bad take. Don't worry. Say it right now. People don't forget. Say it right now.

Matt was a bad take on Scott Woodward. But Governor Landry, man, he, I don't know if you can ever hate a person more than Governor Landry hated Scott Woodward, but I think I found... Did you hear the audio of him speaking? A little bits and piece of it.

They got a Fort Louisiana accent, baby. Like, We don't like to Scott Woodley. He'll make a bail pick off us. That's how he talks. Well, he also, yeah. And he also basically said the state is bankrupt because of his bad spicks.

Yeah, and then he's like, apparently he's saying stuff that is completely off base. He's nuts. I have, I have, uh, I think it's like towards the end where he really starts letting it loose. And let's just play some of this. I got it. No, I can tell you right now, Scott Wood is not selecting an extra coach. Tell him I'll let Donald Trump selected before I let him. What?

I don't know, but the Board of Super I is going to come up with a committee and they're going to go find us a coach. Hold on, hold on. One real quick thing on that. Because here's what y'all reporters need to do. You don't need to start looking and who represents all these people. Like these agents. You know what's interesting? I'm not mistaken.

Woodard's agent. Kelly's agent. The Texas A&M. They all the same agent. There you go. That's enough. Yeah. They all the same agent, man.

There are two agents that run college football. Trace Armstrong, the former NFL player, and Jimmy Sexton. If you don't have one of those two guys of your agents, you just don't have an agent. All right, on the phones. Let's go to Ryan on 7.99 and 10.51. Ryan, thanks for holding a good morning. Good morning, guys.

I thought Ross's Rotten Pie was pretty good. You had the Giants Raiders, Saints, Bill, and Panthers. Oh, why? You would. What? No, that's wrong. They did lose to the Saints, which is crazy. I didn't have the bills in there.

You misheard. You had the bills in the Fenton 5? That's shameful. That's shameful. that's fine. But, but I had, I had things I wanted to say, but then you play that audio clip, the governor sounds like that lightning bug

from that Disney movie, what was it? The Frog one. Princess is a Frog? Where they turned the princess into the frog. Yeah, he sounds like that little lightning bug. That was wild. But anyways, I forgot what I was going to say.

I was on holes for 20 minutes. You said you needed advice on something. You want some advice. I know, I'll let you all go. Okay. Thank you. All right. You know what, Ryan, we love you so much.

If you want to call back and say, hey, I remember what I wanted to say. We'll let you back on. We don't remember what to let people on twice and one day, but we'll let you do it. Let's go to Rowdy, who has a beef with Ross. Yes. All right. Well, I got some beef with you, Matt. Oh, you serve with you, the beef.

Let's go. Man, you're a big beef server, aren't you, Rowdy? I try to be. So Ross's media post about Michael Jordan and Lodd management. He's saying that Michael Jordan would, if he was in today's NBA, he would load management. I don't think he would because to me, in my opinion, the difference between Michael Jordan and Kobe and then LeBron is that they have that killer instinct. Like should they have load management? Yeah, they probably should to extend their careers, but the way that their mind is they won't let themselves have that

load management. They want to go out there every night, put their foot on your neck, and crush you. So that's, you know, my beef there. Like, no, I don't think Michael Jordan would. And I won't stand for that slander against him, Rob. It's not slant. See, it's not even slander, Rowdy. And I'll, I'll let you get the last word. But I'm saying, now, of course, you can find my post, Matt Thomas, on Instagram at SportsRV. May I say this, Roddy? May I talk about Michael Jordan and load management. Routy, you know how I feel. Michael Jordan's the greatest of all time. And I don't know what LeBron can do to beat him. I'm just going to go with it.

But with that being said, I believe if Michael Jordan played in 2025, he would load manage. I'm just going to fall my sore on that. First of all, he retired when he was at 30 and 35. We're talking about guys late in their careers. If it was explained to him, hey, Michael, we have hard data. Your energy levels are down. You don't move as quickly. If you take these days off, you're going to be fresher for the playoffs.

And you're going to have a better chance to win a championship. That's when his eyes would light up. And he'd be like, yes, because he wants to win at all costs. And load management isn't about laziness what these old players talk about. It's about extending careers and being fresher for the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, I get that. No, no, look, I agree with load management. Like if he played today, I agree.

What they're doing is smart because, like you said, extending their careers and their bodies. And then once they retire, they have a better quality of life. I just kind of feel like the way that Kobe and Jordan thought, like, I'm not, taking a day off, giving anyone a chance to gain any ground on me. I just kind of felt like that's how their mentality was and kind of to their, you know, detriment to them the way they thought, you know, maybe that's how they got some injuries or didn't get to extend their careers. Yeah, I'd have to pull it up.

Kobe retired in 15. That's kind of when load management was getting started with the, I wonder if he played back-to-backs that year or if he just had injuries or what. What's your beef with me? I do nothing wrong. What's your beef with... No, Matt. Go ahead.

Go ahead. Okay. So here's my beef with Matt. And I've been meaning to call in for probably a good two months on this. Oh, this is going to be scared. I'm really nervous now. What's you got? If you're going to call yourself Mr. Texas...

You better. You better be waiting in line for a couple of hours for the best brisket in Texas. If you're not waiting in line, for brisket, you're not Mr. Texas. Oh! And first of all, you've got to like brisket. I like brisket. I don't love it. I like it. You got to love brisket. Say that, Routy.

Hey, how do you feel about tritips, by the way? What's your thoughts about tritips? I think it's kind of like the California version of brisket. It is. It's kind of their cop out of doing brisd. That is exactly right. That's a great way to say. All right. So, Routy, I will do this. Thank you very much of the phone call.

Ross, you and I the next time we... No, you're decued. We do a barbecue everyone. Yes, we do. We'll go wait in a significantly long line. No, we don't have to do that just to do it. Yeah, I mean, I don't want to spend more time with you than I possibly can. As long as you time it out, like I said, I went to Interstellar.

It's got a Michelin Star. It's top 10 in the Texas monthly. I was in line maybe an hour. As long as you time it correctly, you'll be fine. We waited, what, 20 minutes at Ruth? Well, you and the countermer government got there. late. I waited about 35 minutes. We chatting cutted. We did. Yeah.

You jerks. You're like, yeah, guys, I'll meet you there. And then I'm like the only one standing in line. But I got there. And then I'm getting stairs at everyone because people are cutting the line and standing with me. Yeah, I appreciate it, guys. And then our former producer, Connor, is like, well, I'll pay. Oh, and then I was like, yeah. It doesn't matter because you're doing one order. I mean, we did one order of

food. Right. Right. We are, we are due for another barbecue right now. I don't know why I started talking like I got me some brisket now Now I say it now I say Why did Foghorn Langhorne show how hungry he was Give me some ribs and sausage now Can you do a better Foghorn Langer?

Give me a quick Yosemite Sam. I don't even know that's more scratchy right? I'm sorry I'd like to apologize to the Yosemite Sam family And Looney Tunes What I can do with you? You never learn your lessons 10.58 on the Matt Topba show at Ross.

J.W. and Larry will get to you guys coming up starting this next hour. In one half hour, you need to call in and apologize for the mean things you've done and said this past week. Oh, no. And you got a long list. I always know you do. For you trying to sell me that you did the rotten five yesterday, you would apologize to me for that. Man, that was a beautiful bit and multiple people called in to say I did. They're like Buffalo. I love y'all. I'm feeling the love today.

That was amazing. I think y'all are sick. 1058 on 790. This is. to Matt Thomas show with Ross. All right, I know that you got people backing you up on the Fantasy 5. Pedro just sent us a tweet and gave you the Fantasy 5 from yesterday. At number 5, the Cowboys, number 4, LSU, number 3, Texas Tech,

number 2 A&M, and the worst is University of Houston. That is not true. The University of Houston is the greatest university of all time. About the time you realize that. They have won every, they have been slighted in every single national championship, Yep. Yep. And yep. 11 o'clock kick time, by the way, if you want to go check out the Cougars tomorrow. Tickets are available for $20.15 and $15 to celebrate the 2015 team.

Oh, I like that. Not a bad seat in the house. It's funny because Ed Oliver probably can show up. He's out with a torn chest muscle, I want to say? You think he wants to get on a plane and then go to that stadium to watch you guys whip up on West Virginia with a torn peck? And I don't think it's a torn peck. It's usually torn pecks or season-enders. It's something else. Oh, okay. He's going to be out for several weeks, though.

by the way are we nervous about Baltimore real quick before we get to it they beat it now the dolphins suck what do you mean nervous well I mean they're now four and five I think three and five I think three and four

or no three and five three and five three and five yeah I mean four touchdowns last night for Lamar Jackson funny how that works funny how Derek Henry's that Lamar Jackson didn't win MVP because Derek Henry and then when Derek Henry

all of a sudden his guards per carry go way up when Mar Jackson's back in the game. By the way, the dolphins just fire their general manager today. So, oh, Mike McDaniel is Mike McDaniel? I'm looking at Mike McDaniel right now. Why is he wearing 1977 glasses? Yeah, he wears the old glasses. He wears like Capri pants.

The Capri pants got a guy. He wears like Capri joggers. He's already short and does make him look even shorter than anything. Do you think he commands that locker room? Like, hey, guys, I'm Mike McDaniel. I'm an offensive genius. I mean, look, he's going to be an offensive coordinator. in the NFL next year. I mean, he's going to get fire

from Miami. He's got that vibe. He's going to get a job next year. He is the perfect fit of what I call for when you have a defensive-minded head coach like Domingo Ryan's. You need a former head coach who is going to, is just

fits as a coordinator. Boom. Like, flip it, flip it around, Andy Reid's had Steve Spagnolo for years. Didn't work out as a head coach. He's a great defensive coordinator and you lock that guy in. You don't want to go with this, this Nick Cayley, he's young up-and-comers who are either going to get hired off.

They're either A. going to get fired or B. Get with a guy who knows he's just a coordinator, stays in his lane. Mike McDaniel, let's go. I got a whack-year-for-you-old. When they fire him in Miami, what you're going to do, do you think the dolphins call Lane Kiffin? He does have some... He's got pro-experience, is he not? They have... Yes, he was with the Raiders? Somebody, he's been in the NFL before, so it's not completely foreign to him. God, that was years and years ago.

Yeah, he became the head coach of the Raiders for like two years, but that was in 2007 and 2008. And, I mean, I'm sure he would listen. And the owner, Stephen Ross, does meddle and have a lot of bad ideas. Wasn't he the one getting sued by Ryan Flores? Because Lane will take that phone call because immediately when you get a phone call from the 305, the dollar amount that he would be getting, to get a bump at Ole Miss goes up a million bucks.

My gut feeling, and I know it's not Tuesday. My gut feeling is Lane Kiffin goes to Florida. I'm still going to stay on the fact that I think Lane stays at Ole Miss. I think they figure out a way to satisfy him financially. Lane Kiffin likes the limelight. You can't, you tell me you can't get an Ole Miss. He's getting plenty right now. He's getting it.

That's true. In 2025, the market size matters less because of the Internet age. It's a comprehensive matters, yeah. Yes. But I mean, it's a bigger job. It's a more prestigious job. It's not even close. But was Alabama a prestigious job pre-Nick Saban?

No. When? Well, I mean, Gene Stallings. Come on now. But I mean, they've had a... A bare Bryant? Yeah, but that was 1966. Yeah, but it's still a heritage brand.

Certainly he raised the level of expectation. Well, if you're trying to compare it, but I'm saying is you can take a mid-SCC team and turn it into an elite squad if you win on a regular basis. There's no reason why Ole Miss can't go mono-a-mono with those heavy weights in there. Can't be as ever be as relevant as Auburn? Do you like the resources are going to be much better at Florida overall? That I can't speak. I feel like I don't know. Let's talk to Larry.

The question for Chris Gordy. Yeah. Where is locked on? You know what Gordy is right now? You're not going to believe this. I actually are going to believe this. He's playing in the Astro's Celebrity softball. Not celebrity, the Astro's Media softball game.

Ooh, my hamstring just twinged hearing that. Larry and Katie on 790. Good morning, Larry. Yeah, since the thing anything goes, I'm glad that Miss Texas is back. Mystery, you mean, right? Sure. This is the first time that I've ever pulled for a team from Communist Canada. And the main reason, of course, is the Dodgers suck, their fans, and, of course, Springer,

and the greatest center fielder of all time, national history, Miles Straw. But the greatest karma home run ever, of course, was against Seattle. and the only thing I wish Springer would have been done differently if he had to limp around the bases like Kirk Gibson pumping his arms, you know. And I just kept waiting for John Smote to say, I don't believe what I just saw. So I'm hoping that sometime in this series Springer gets to face Kershaw. That would be awesome.

But on another topic, I went to, I did go to Cougar High and a couple weeks ago I was at the homecoming game and I was sitting up in the Schroeder suite away from all the riffraff and the thing I noticed was that in the club and the suite level it's packed but the stands

there were so many empty seats so apparently the students there are just not into this team yet which is a real shame so I'll be going to and I'm hoping that more people show up. Okay, Larry. Thank you, Larry. By the way, when you go to the University of Houston, you don't call it Cougar High.

That's a negative. I mean, that's more from like, when did they use that, like in the 80s? Yeah, it's... I mean, realistically, you've heard it from your parents. You don't, you don't, it's not organically discussed anymore. Uh-huh. I mean, I'm sorry. If you are a fan of your school, you don't bag on your school.

with jokes. Now, you can be critical of your school because, look, our tenant sucks. And I'm trying to do my part here to get you guys go out and see a top 25 team. I mean, I'm not, you know, can't sugarcoat that. What's the website again, Matt? UHcougars.com slash tickets or 713 go Cougars. Easy to remember phone number. Thanks for asking.

But no, I'm not going to, I'm not going to downgrade the, I mean, why would I, why would I do that? If I'm a graduate of the University of Houston, why would I want to say that it was easy or? Cougar High. Yeah, it just doesn't make any sense. I just don't get it. I thought he was actually talking about a high school. I didn't know he was talking about... That's like an old term for the U of H.

because frankly... Also, yes, the academic prestige has certainly the level has raised in the last decade plus. I'll be honest. When I was enrolled in 1992, it was significantly more difficult today to get in. And it was U of H. Back then, I mean, I get it. You know, we actually... A tier one research university.

that's what I'm talking about. I feel like I'm with a medical school. I was a brand new, brand new medical school, an outstanding law school. Uh-huh. The, uh, yes, the broadcasting school is named after Matt Thomas, Jonathan. I don't believe that. Why don't you believe that?

You've never heard of the Thomas School of Communication? If that's true right now, give me, uh, except the name to the master program, just with your name. All right, maybe it's Jeff. Yeah, the Thomas School of Communication, I believe the most popular major is passive aggressiveness. Hmm. And I believe

if pettiness 3404 is taught by me too. You forgot arrogant in there too. Oh. No, no, no. Arrogance 301. I told Introduction to arrogance.

That's a capstone class. I told somebody on the Rockets trip the other day. I said, you know, my pettiness is probably my most positive attribute

and they started belly laughing. They're like, that is excellent. It's awesome. I'm as petty as it gets. If you want to meet Mr. Petty, you know,

I'm a lot of things. I got somebody who tops you. Who's that? You know. We work with them, don't we? Yes, we do. Two to six? Yes, we do.

Adam Wexler. I don't know. That's not the one I was going with. No, okay. I'm sorry. You know, 50-50 shot on that one, did you? Swing and a miss. All right.

I'm sorry. I'm coming up at 1130. Hmm. 12 o'clock, wake the strippers up. Andy Lindahl, Broncos Radio 1230 will join us today. He's out with Broncos Radio, but he's with one of the Denver radio stations up there. I think it's 1043 of the fan, something like that. One in Da, you go the fan, the, the,

The ticket. The ticket. The score. Yeah. Sports radio. You can always do that. That's why I like sports talk. I think we're the only sports talk that I can think of. I think you're right. Is that bad? No, it's not bad. It's just different. Okay. And then we got at 120, we're going to flip the coin to see who gets to go first.

Now, Jonathan, if you win the coin flip, are you going to go first? You're going to give Jonathan, or give Cole the first pick. I can't give you, no, he can be listening right now. Ooh, that's true. But do you, that's, that's, see, look at this. The young lad's learning. Sometimes it's more valuable to get the number one, but sometimes it's more valuable to get two of the top three.

Especially if there's a definitive number one, which I believe in this particular category, there is not a definitive one. Well, that's our opinion, Matt. You are getting vote one. I am judge number two. This is kind of wonderful. We get to be just sit back and relax and listen in.

Mm-hmm. And I'll put it. 713, 212, 790. We've got, again, I'm sorry, is coming up at 18 minutes here on Sports Talk 790. Come on in, join us. Anything goes Friday. I like this.

I like this a lot. Halloween dreams. On a Friday on Sports Talk 790, the Matt Thomas show with Ross. Coming up at 1130, what'd you do? You need to apologize. I'm sorry's coming up.

And we also have the news at noon. Me? You'll find out. I'll come up with something. I'm sure there's some misgivings. We know Maddie to apologize for somebody. Absolutely. I'm sure.

TSA or something. Oh, good. knows what kind of people he was mistreating going through customs and stuff like that so we'll figure that out coming up with the I'm sorry. By the way customs Toronto piece oh cake yeah I was really

for about 15 minutes nervous because I've never traveled commercially from Toronto back to the United States I've always gone through you know the team and what so I had no idea what to do and you put your passport on a little scanning system and again maybe it's because they're Canada's

you know, Toronto, the airport's huge and all that. I mean, it was really seamless. You go through one additional process, and then you do have to show your passport or your or your visa, whatever, when you go on the plane, which normally you don't have to do here. But other than that, it was the whole process, and I granted, I was also there at, oh, God, I was there at 6 o'clock in the morning. So it was, it was busy, but not crazy. It was maybe 10 extra more minutes and you normally would go through. It was great. And I had TSA pre-check, which helped that a lot, too.

That's great. Yeah. Love Toronto. Okay. Big fan. That's all I got. Where'd you go? Don't you normally just stay in the hotel?

Yeah, but I went to a restaurant and bar to be with my fellow Blue Jay fans. Go Blue Jays. I told you that. Remember, they all took the hockey off, and usually people were like scow and yell at you. Yes, but it's, well, it's the Blue Jays are in the World Series. It's kind of a different animal. We need the Blue Jays to win this thing, right? I mean, whatever.

I mean, we can still sleep if they don't, but I will. Dodgers literally won last year. I mean, what's one more? It'd be nice. But I feel bad for George. I really do. I mean, you know, guy is a national hero. Literally a national hero.

And I don't think he can swing the bat. They're saying that he might be able to pinch it. They were saying on the broadcast. Get him one AB. He's going to go up there. He's going to go up there. He could do a Kurt Gibson. Inject him with the good stuff.

Let it rip. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you got four months of recover, five months of recover. Oh, that's a really. oblique. It probably hurts every time you breathe. Yeah. All right.

Let's go what else we got going on. We're going to get an update on the Texans. It sounds like to me that Dalton Schultz, according to our Texans reporter, not insider. Our Texans insider. No, I'm the insider. No, you're not. That Dalton Schultz is out there? Is that what I saw?

Really? Yes. In a limited capacity? When's the injury report coming out? Probably later. Not. Usually doesn't happen until after we get off the air. Dalton Schultz and Woody Mark.

spotted at practice. Yeah, Woody was a very like an ad onto the injury. And my fantasy team is on life support. We need Woody marks. It's bad. You know, it's bad, but I'm like,

God, I need Woody Marks to play. Did you ever think you were going to say that in his rookie season? I never thought of five, 1,000-yard rushing years in a row? Probably you could say that. My starting running backs are Woody Marks and Bam Knight.

Oof. Wolf. Yeah. Charles Berkeley would get those wrong on who he play for. By the way, did you see he did a who he broadcast for? No. Yes, it was hysterical.

Were you going to be on there? No, they were only doing national people. Wait, he couldn't get the national guys? No. Well, I might not, I guess. I know you'd get 100% correct. I would. Some have moved. Because you're a broadcasting whore. No, I'm an enthusiast. Oh, I'm sorry.

Hoar is like... That's tomato potato. Trying to get their jobs. Probably, yeah. I mean, I wouldn't mind if... If I and Eagle can't work tonight, You want that Jeff Bezos check ain't bad. Yeah, I wonder what they are getting paid. You know, it's funny, I don't have any idea what those national broadcasters make.

And does it come with free prime for a year? Like, for instance, we only know about, like, Romo. We know about Brady. Yes. But what does, like, Daryl Johnson's during the Texans game again this week? What do you think, Daryl Johnson? Do you think he's getting $5,000 a game? I don't know.

6,000 a game, 10,000 a game? I don't know. My goal is to find out what they're making this year. Okay. It's going to make you mad. Don't you know people? You can... Yes, I'm saying.

I do know people, but I got to be... I got to make sure that I've had... Are you pocket watching everybody, Matt? Well, it's not pocket watch. It's pocket-witch. It's pocket appreciating. Oh, okay. Okay. I think I just made that up.

Pocket appreciation. I don't think it really applies, but that's okay. So let's go back to this LSU situation for a second, if you don't mind. I'm fascinated by this. Yes. Coach O, I think, wants to be the coach. That's not going to happen. Okay. We do have his comments, Matt, if you wanted to hear.

Please. That's not him. That's Coach Joe saying he wanted, he would like to be the next head coach of the LSU tag. Go taggers. So this Governor Landry dude. Yes. He's,

he's a lot off. But I mean, no surprise of the state of Louisiana would, would basically vote for this person. I don't know what political parties. I don't really matter. But he just sounds like he's just nuts. I have a guess in Louisiana.

So the other day, he first voted, says no, Scott Woodward's on involved. Scott Woodward has a history of signing bad contracts. Now, I'll say this. In his fairness, he's an athletic director, so he's in charge of everybody. Uh-huh. He did

hire the baseball coach who won a national championship. Okay. He did hire Kim Mulkey who won a national championship. And he didn't sign Fisher to the extension. Correct. He did sign Fisher originally. That was good money to begin with. Well, I thought it was

a great hire. It was the number one higher of that off season. I remember us talking about it. Like, man, good for A&M for going out and spending the money on a really quality coach. Because he'd won a national championship at Florida State to Jimbo. Either I got feeling or one of us got feeling that Jimbo was going to win a championship within five years. Which did not happen. No.

It might have been me. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think either one of us had him fire within five years. No. So it was Ross B. York that gave him the extensions that were so whacked that put A&M behind the eight ball when it came to paying people off. but Mr. Governor Landry wanted no part of that. So what does Governor Landry do after saying all these outrageous things? He goes on national TV shows left and right. I mean, it was almost like it was damage control.

Yeah. It wasn't trying to further. He used on the Pat McAfee show, apparently saying blatant misinformation. Yeah. So he obviously goofed by, look, I don't know Scott Woodward at all. Kim Monke, and not that this means a whole lot, but take it for what it is. you know, she is making obscene money as the SECs as the coach at LSU women's basketball and they've won, right? They won an actual championship.

I'm pretty sure. Yeah. She did not. She was so upset at the decision to fire Scott Woodward that she did not speak at the press conference after they had an exhibition game last night. Oh, really? She sent one of her assistants out there to talk. And that all she was said was he was one of the, she says, I worked for two great 80s in my life. Skip Burtman at LSU and then Scott Woodward.

I just think frankly, if I'm an LSU fan, I, everybody keeps telling me how it's the best job out there. I guess I could see why, because you can tell me what you, you know, all the recruiting, fertile. You've got a big stadium. Louisiana's a great state. Diehard fan base. I mean, super, super, super. I mean, super, super.

But it feels like there's a lot of politics and backroom deals. and it just sounds like Louisiana State Government. Yes, which apparently there was a backroom deal just to get the stadium built back in the day. But the thing that people keep pointing out, which I believe is true, people are like, man, you've got to have a great coach to win a national championship.

Well, Nick Saban did it. Obviously, he's a great coach. Les Miles won a national championship there and wasn't a great coach. And Ed Ogeron won a national championship there. You can get players to come to LSU you for the school. I mean, party atmosphere, great school, great history, all that stuff. Entries requirements aren't overly difficult. I mean, truth be trolled. Matt said it, not me.

But he's not wrong. Yeah, you don't have some of the roadblocks that maybe you have at Stanford. Notre Dame. Yeah, yeah. Or Stanford or, I don't know, McNeese. So it's, it is a job that coaches who aren't thought of as the greatest coaches of all time have won national championships there because you can. can recruit at LSU. So the great job. And it's the SEC. It's got storied history, all that stuff. Passionate fan base. If you want, I mean, look, you want the job.

If LSU calls, you're going to take the phone call. But the question is going to be how much, how long is your leash going to be? It does look. Are they going to worry about money because they've spent so much money on Brian Kelly that they're going to be. Right. Something else going to suffer because of it. It does. I might say Florida's the better job.

Just because of what you said, it looks. look more unattractive. I mean, as you mentioned the leash, it looks like a Met. Like, do you want to go there when the governor's making the hire or he said he's setting up a committee? He's saying all this crazy stuff about the 80. He's going on national television.

I mean, it looks like a dysfunctional situation. That's what I'm saying. It's making the job less attractive. Yeah. To me, like, I, if I'm a football coach, I don't want to have to report to the governor. No. I mean, if I'm the governor of the state of Louisiana, I'm going to worry about, I don't know,

roads or keeping schools open or maybe row or anything. Yeah. I mean Brian Kelly now of course there are some talks of you know behind the scenes he wasn't a great guy and players didn't like him and stuff like that but the results were 10 wins 10 wins nine wins and they're five and three and you're out. It's a pretty short leash. Yeah. Again I don't know the Florida background but maybe Ellis you just has this money and they're just trying to pretend they don't

because I obviously don't have money to lure Brian Kelly away from from Notre Dame. So the problem is if Landry is out there saying all these things about how cash stripped the state is because of all the money they're paying out to ex-coaches, they're like, whoa, Wade, the LSU basketball coach that got fired and now he's off. I-Tin's been under construction since the 1920s. Yeah, I mean, they, you know, they can't get their parish's name right. I think it's an AUX at the very end of it. There's nothing wrong with that. You can modernize a little bit.

Why? Com counties. Paris. They're French. Paris. Paris, parish? Makes sense. We've got a deep French history, Matt.

That's why you go on Rue Bourbon. I will say this, though. They put 85,000 in their stadium every week. They just do. No matter how pissed off they are. You know what I mean. All right, let's apologize to some people. You should apologize to the state of Louisiana.

Why? For talking about their lack of dental skills? Yes. Come on, man. You shouldn't have said that you could be a straw hat furnishing major. I mean, what's the most difficult degree you get at LSU? My favorite is... Backgammon?

My eyes light up when we do, believe it or not, on a player that went to LSU because about 75% of time their major was general studies. What exactly is that? General study. You just dabble in one course. Yeah, and yeah, you just do... Take a little bit of everything. Like, you take all 1,000 level classes.

General. Take 30 of them. Oh, you're going to have a degree. Yeah. Go back. It's in tandem with the elementary... Remember. We work for the LSU Mafia here in Houston.

That's true. We could be out of work by the end of the show. I'm sorry. So sorry. This is the most cathartic half hour of your week. You may not want to say sorry to your wife because you don't want to take the L on that. Always say you're sorry first. Let's get it out of the way.

I learned it easy. Yesterday, as a matter of fact, we were driving. I learned the whole. We went to, we were driving to the Pasadena where the playoff game was and a friend of ours was on the car with us and said, how far is Rhode Island from Houston? My wife said it's about 2,000 miles and I'm like, oh no, no, no. It's like 1,400 to the most. It was 1840, so she was actually closer than I was. So I said to my wife, I'm sorry.

But, but she went over. We weren't paying the prices right in the car. I'm kidding. And I would have. Yeah, she wins closest to the pen. Yeah. So my daughter's going to leave me if it's been a 10 miles away. You're going to save money on that club volleyball.

Yeah, but she's going to be calling asking for me to Venmo or money all that. I know she is. Rhode Island is cheap. Thank God my son's got a full-time job now. My oldest one does. My middle ones are. Get a job. Huh?

I'll serve up some 31 flavors. It's like an Uber to New York. NIL to Rhode Island volleyball. It would certainly be appreciated. Show me where to donate. How much for you donate? Fitty. For how much?

For the entire year? Dollars. What do you want to return for $50? I wanted to promote SportsRV's Instagram. For how long? She's big on TikTok and all that stuff, too. Oh, really? Not big, but she's a snapper.

Brick Snapchat and all that stuff. Okay. I've never been on Snapchat. I'm not going to Snapchat your daughter. No, no, no. Do not under any circumstances do that. All right, John, then what are you apologizing for? Wait.

He's got to gather himself. Yeah, go on. Okay. Oh. Are you on? Do you want me to go? Yeah, go hold on. I want to apologize to the state of Louisiana.

Oh, oh. This is going to be half-hearted at best. We trashed them a lot this week. We trashed them like we do Baytown. It's all true. I mean, we talked about the general studies major. Multiple times we did the occasion with Zatico music bit this week. The lack of clean teeth.

Matt Thomas mentioned the teeth, not me. Now, of course, it's all in good fun. We're stereotyping and making jokes. Don't take it so serious. But it feels like Louisiana has been under a lot of heat this week with their AD situation, the governor situation, and all that. I'm sorry to the state of Louisiana. Sorry.

Let me taste not Louisiana. Lovely. New Orleans is my favorite city, I think, in all of America. The storied history, the food, the 20s. 24-hour booze, the culture. It's amazing. People are generally speaking nice. Yes.

I love casinos. The food is amazing. It's not a... And look, I've been to Shreveport a handful of times. That's not terrible. They're gambling and 24-hour booze. Like, I'm jealous. Yeah, the state's just full of debauchery.

Yeah. And you can watch videos there in Louisiana that you can't watch in Texas. What videos? Videos. Of what? They don't have, like, filters as like other states do. You mean like the sunrise filter? Yeah, exactly.

Yes. Yeah. I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. Okay. Hmm. All right. All right. Well, I'm sorry. Never mind. Oh, well, you know, I can go. I wanted to, I don't usually to do this, but I wanted to apologize to my girl. Um, she had made me upset the other day while we're going to the weight room and lifting.

And she had said something. I forgot. Oh, you're all lifting together? Wow. Yeah, you know, you know, getting the gains, right? Okay. The couple that gains together stays together. And I forgot what the argument was, but I was like, really hot. But instead of, you know, being in a public gin, you know, making embarrassing her, we just did our workout normally.

Went to the squat rack. Now, my girl is 5'1. I'm like 5'11. So you got to switch the rack, everybody who's lived, you have supposed to rack up, you know, to switch the size so you can get the bar properly off the rack. And it was my turn. I was done. I racked it up. And because she had pissed me off so much, I lit to her

and I walked away and went to the restroom. It made her deal with it. And I come back and she almost fell trying to put the bar up. So, uh, or put the bar back up to her size. Wow. So I want to say sorry, babe.

I know you're probably listening in class right now. Let me tell you something right now. You deserved it. You dropping that babe part? I didn't even help you at all. That's nice you tried, but anyone else me. It's okay. We'll go to basically Wednesday.

She will watch the game, you know. I'll spend a lot of money. I finally get to meet this girl very soon. Oh, you are? Yeah, they're going to go to see. They're going to be in a couple weeks. Oh, wow. That's great.

Yeah. excited. All right. Like I said, when I came back from Toronto, I thought I'm a new person, so I'm less prettier than I was, say, 36, 24 hours ago. Okay. Well, you can apologize. You have a whole week of stuff.

I'm sure you stepped on some throats. What did I do this week that was not? I'm trying to think. I think I've been pretty good, actually. Okay. I mean, I yell at people on the freeways for cutting me off and whatnot. Like window down, yellow people or just like? No, in the car.

Okay. You better watch out. You can go, pop. I can give them double rods occasionally too They don't But I mean When you're in Canada you're in a good mood The weather's kind of just cold

But that's that's par for the course I mean it is what it is So I'm at this point I feel pretty good about things You kind of apologize For the both of us for basically Saying that Louisiana is the plumber's butt of America Oh I wouldn't say that

That's West Virginia Oh my West Virginia coming into town I don't think it's gonna be a huge crowd From the West Virginia side They suck You know Rich Rodriguez is their coach? Did you even know that? Wait, are you kidding?

He's not still their coach. Yeah. In 2025? Yeah. You're lying. I'm lying. Rich Rodriguez is still their coach? I knew he came back.

Yeah. You know what's funny? I had that exact thought. Oh, wait, believe it or not, today all the things of West Virginia. We've never done that. I guarantee you've never done that before. Didn't they used to be a good program before? With Richard Rodriguez.

With Richard Rodriguez. first time around, yeah. Oh. Oh, so the same coach that is... I swear to you, this week it crossed my mind. I was like,

who's the coach of West Virginia? It's not Rich Rodriguez anymore. But I thought he came back. I thought he came back and then got fired again. He's still only a second stint there. They're two and six. He's on his way out.

That's what you're saying. Yeah, he was terrible at Michigan and Arizona. And he was at Jacksonville State. I don't know why I thought he got rehired back at West Virginia like three years ago. So he goes to Jacksonville State after two, old schools. Like Jacksonville said, like, man, we forgive you. You know you've had some problems. Come and fix us. And then they won a New Orleans Bowl with them. Yeah. And he said, I'm going back. He said, peace. Deuces. And now they're 0 and 5 in conference play.

I'm about to be 0 and 6 when the Cougars beat that ass tomorrow at 11 o'clock. I sure hope so in front of 40,000 rabid Cougars fans. God, I hope so. Let's go to Gil on 790, 1140. Gil, what are you apologizing for? I apologize that I called and used to be I could go down Westheimer somewhere off with 610 and pick up my price I apologize for bitching because now I got to get on the internet and sign in for my tickets and so what's going on guys it's called it's 2025 brother yeah I mean it's it's actually rather easy you guys get in the car and wasting your gas you don't have to spend any time Yeah.

We complain about a lot today's age. But, I mean, you've got every movie you ever want, every song you ever want at your fingertips. It's not that bad.

You know when kids come to your door and they go, trick or treat? When is the last time you tricked them? Or said, I got nothing.

No. You give them a treat. And if you don't, they give you a trick. Like they're going to egg your house or. Y'all try this today. Say, hey, look, times are tough. Government shut down. I have no candy.

Bye. I mean, the key clearly is to have all your lights turned off. That means do not come to our house. Yes. I don't have this problem. I rent. Are there anybody in your neighborhood? Do you have any kids in your neighborhood at all?

I don't know. Maybe. So what are you doing the night? What are you doing the night? You do anything? Yeah, I'm going out. Are you really? You don't want to say?

That's fine. I can respect that. Yeah. I don't want to get attacked. I think I'm going to put a costume on before my flight. I don't get attacked by a cougar fan or something. They should come after you. You deserve to be beaten.

Should I wear a Halloween costume on the flight? You should. What should I go dressed as? Whatever you'd like. You ever dressed up on a hot... No, people don't dress up on a plane. On planes, do they? You could.

Maybe the flight tenants will. You know, dark breasts probably would. Excuse me? You know, dark breast airlines. Although they're all buttoned up now. Remember they used to be funny and hot back in the day? Now they're just stodgy like that rest of it. I mean, do they only hire failed comedians?

some of them are pretty funny they're not as fun as they used to be some of them are really bad yeah and relentless I would do just the opposite I would do an overly rude airline sit your eyes is down

I'd be like the unfriendly skies people like rudeness You know like I would be You know like I would clean up if I was owning an airline That ran New York Boston routes And treated people like the people are That are in the seats I'd probably know

Oh my God be the best Satisfaction now Sit your ass down You know the seat baths and seatbelt sign Like that restaurant Yeah I always wanted to work at that restaurant Where you get to crush everybody

In Chicago Yeah what was it called? I don't know Blanks last stand We took the volleyball team In over five years ago It's just funny Dude I would love

I would love to roast everybody because that's every waiter's dream. Yeah, it's just the opposite what you're supposed to do. You know, maybe I'll do that. Oh, you come the accident mask. You want to put it on, that's fine. You don't want to put it on.

I don't give it to him. You can suffocate up at 31,000 feet. Oh, I'm sorry. So what would be the, what would you call the airline if it was the unfriendly skies? Just, you know. Like the sporting good?

Can I have a blast of water? No, go out in the lobby and get one. Like Dick's sporting? Goods. Are there ruddy either? Just call that take off sporting goods and making airlines. Dix Airlines? I'm sorry. The unfriendly airline?

Thanks for... We don't care that you flew Dick's airline. We'll get you there eventually. Don't ask how long on the flight is. It's not bad. Hey, as long as affairs are cheap, people will go. People still fire a go on spirit.

Can I add another bag? No, bitch, you got a basic economy flight. You need to wear that's... Basically, is it? Is it mirror at the unfriendly skies, basically? About 2.5 brawls per spirit flight. Mike in Spring on 790, what are you apologizing for? Man, I got to apologize to my kids this morning.

I'm apologized to all three of them because I, for the last 20 years of my life, have told them that being a Miami Dolphins fan is the best thing ever. And now I've got this dumpster fire of a team with two or turn to all. all over in charge and we're firing a general manager and I don't even know what to tell them now they come to me and say, Daddy, should we turn to be Texas band? Hell yeah, let's go.

So I'm apologizing to my kids. Sorry, kids. I'm jumping on the Texas bandwagon. Let's go, baby. So what are, your boys are terrible. That was Mike, right? So he's not deep steel Mike. He's not he's a McNair Mike. He loves a McNair's.

He can be Battle Red Mike. Shout out to Janice who's going into the ring of honor. Congratulations to her. Who gets in first? Hannah or Cal? Cal? No. He's the governor. No, no, no, no. I put Hannah in before I put Cal on. Oh, no, you would. You're saying

who, you didn't ask me who should. You asked me who would. You're right. It's Dick's last resort, by the way. Well, thank you. It's the restaurant. I said last stand. No, no, but there's a specific place in Chicago that's like a deli... Somebody's been in Chicago. The hot dog place? It's a hot dog

burger place. You go in there. and they're all, they dance and they do 50s and 60s music, and then when they come and serve your food, they're intentionally rude to you. Oh, I think you up on the stand where they yell at you. That triumphed the insult comic dog went to. It was like a hot dog stand. Oh, yeah, I know about that too.

Yeah. There's a restaurant in Chicago that is like a diner, literally a diner. Okay. And you go there and they're just not nice to you. Okay. Or as we would say in Houston, Denny's. Mm. Yeah, no comment.

Danny's on my band list. Why? Last two times I went there, the pancakes tasted like a sponge. Get the eggs over my hammy. It happened one time. I gave them a second chance. It happened a second time. I'm done.

It tasted worse than a McDonald's pancakes. We were getting a Ruffle Rouse in Kingwood in a couple of years. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. We weren't growing up out there in the cave. Is it coming with the adjacent meth lab? It almost started calling you Mr. Stereotype.

You're speaking of brawling, by the way. Oh, they can brawl. You want to sharpen up your hands? Bill, you ever brawled at a Waffle House before? Oh, yes, sir. I can and I think there's West Road. Oh, yeah, yes, sir. But anyway, I tell you what I might be sad about.

Yes. Sorry about, you know the French is right across the street from the stadium, right? I love it. It's brand spanking new. It's awesome. Well, you know you can't, you know, bring cash in that, right? You have to use your credit card. I did not know that.

Come on, Matt. What's behind French? What neighborhood is there? Come on, be real. You know why they don't take care of it, man. Scott Street's not the safest street in America. But anyway, come on, man. Listen, Matt, you know, right behind French is, you know, that's all black neighborhood, right?

So, you know, they got this parking. You know, right behind French is like for 30 books. Now that all the Cougar fans are going to the game tomorrow, you don't. have to pay you $30 tomorrow. Snap is about to get expelled. $5, baby. You can park for $5 now. Okay.

That's not an I'm sorry, Bill. That's not, Bill. That was not an I'm sorry. That was nothing at all. All right, wrapping up this Marconi segment will be Aaron on 790. Hello, Aaron. What are you sorry about? Actually, I wasn't sorry about anything.

I was calling because you guys were talking about airlines that were being rude to people. And I did a college project a very long time ago when I was at Texas Tech. And our senior Cs was to come up with an airline. And I'm not going to lie, halfway through the semester, we were coming in dead last. And so we decided to not put any money towards being nice to people or research and development and put all of our money towards advertising. And we ended up getting an A and won the entire thing because we were rude to all of our customers and did not do anything for our airlines, but we spent a lot of money on advertising. and it reminded me of what you guys were talking about.

I'm sorry. So, hey, I'm sorry. You know, advertising works. Yes, it does work. I'm going to start a route airline. Okay. How are you getting funding for this? I don't know.

Literally billions. Let's think about what we could possibly be wrong. First of all, there's no startup mom and pop airlines. First of all, are on time rate? Horrific. No, you need a good on time rate. No, no, no. Customer service can be bad, but if you're gone on delays,

how about this one for you? You're going to fly from, say, Houston to Providence, okay? Okay. And you're supposed to change planes in JFK, but really you're supposed to really change planes in Chicago. We send you to the wrong airport. We could make, like, subtle mistakes. You got no chance.

Don't do that. Oh, by the way, my man Jonathan knows that place is in Chicago. Let me go to him. John, what's name of that diner in Chicago with a rude to you? What's it called? Ed Debevich. That's it. Ed Debevich.

Ed Debevvvix? Yes. It's a place where they go and they dance. It's a 1950s diner. You've been there before, Jonathan, I'm assuming? Never in my life. Not you, John. The other Jonathan.

You haven't been the 90% of the person in the rest of the Houston. I need you to me, David artists. You guys have a lot in common. I know. I like David. Come on, now. I just talked to Jonathan, Jonathan. Not you, Jonathan.

Well, you said his name. I did. You know what? You're already down O2 in the Halloween candy contest on the Fantasy 5. That's not true. Trust me. I got such a good tin. Hopefully he don't take mine.

I'm just right. By the way, all things... I'm rooting for you, Jonathan, but I will be impartial. The list will stand. The list, yeah. All things West Virginia are not, right? When's that? at 150 today.

Well, it's like the strippers up next here on 790. It's the Matt Thomas show with Ross. Of the Matt Thomas show at Ross. This is Sports Talk 790. You're just treating the symptoms. You've got to treat the disease, Matt. It needs the bottom. What's going on? Maybe I need a therapist.

I'm just like, yeah. I mean, I'm all for it. So if any of you might want to be my therapist. I know the last one quit on you. James Hart. Jersey retired in it? Oh, are you talking about strip clubs? Uh-huh.

I believe it was dreams, but I cannot confirm or deny. Yeah? I've also heard that they have some good fried chicken wings at the wing joint in the back. I've heard. Really? Can I confirm more deny that high? Just because you don't, you didn't go to the Red Bluff to watch porn on the driving. First of all, you didn't even go to the Red Bluff porn.

I don't know if 20-year-olds would be said, hey, guys, what are on tonight? Let's go watch some porn in a drive-in. I don't know if that's... Probably, dudes were... Well, him and Gil and his broskies were doing it. Gail! Getting him in the trunk. What's that knocking on the trunk?

It's not his legs. Or his arms. I got two rude ones I can't say. Oh, yeah, don't do it. Yeah, there's a lot you can't say. There's a lot I can't say. My two favorite ones, I can't even mention on the radio. 12-16, it is the Matt Tava show with Ross.

7-1-3-2-1-2. Yeah, let's get off of Mamas, because I just got off of yours. Oh, sorry. You can dump that. I apologize. I just, I didn't, I don't mean. They go get a head-old. official brown.

N-I-L-L-L-L-U. At least it'll stereotype on this show. I'm just, dude. Like, at your conference on that thing, it's just like, enormous, dude. Gio, I need you just for your friend of reference to send me a picture of yourself. Because, dog, I'll go at you 10 times harder. Love me. Just for the record.

My head is normal size. Uh-huh. And also, Gio did apologize. He did. He came right back. He felt he hung up and he could not wait fast enough to call the next day to apologize. For that, we love you, Gio. I know he's listening right now. He should probably call it in an apology.

Shout out to you, Gio. He pre-apologized for the apologies were officially accepted. It is the Matt Thomas Show and Ross. 1280 is our time. You'd like to join us. We'd love to have you at 713-212-5-790. 713-212-5-790s and anything goes Friday. We'll check in on the Broncos and how they're doing

getting ready for this Sunday game of the Texans after, actually officially at the bottom of the hour, Dr. Rottles at 1 o'clock, the Fantasy 5, which would be a lot of fun, his favorite Halloween candy. That'll be between Cole and Jonathan, and then at 1.50 today, it's Hellier and out all things about the great state of West Virginia. Right now, it's time for the news at noon.

And with that, The Colin Coward of Houston Sports Journalism. It's sports RV. Please don't call me that. All right, actually. All right, Matt, yes, the news at noon. We got a lot of stuff to get to, but a world championship can be clinched tonight. Let's go Blue Jays.

The Los Angeles Dodgers head into enemy territory in Toronto, Ontario. As they take on the Blue Jays, it's a cracker of a matchup. Yoshinobu Yamamoto versus Kevin Gousman. Now the line opened up with the Dodgers as a healthy minus 140. It's down to minus 128. So some money has been coming the Blue Jays way. Some are saying it is a must win game for the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Matt, your thoughts.

It is 100% a must win game. You try to sneak one in there on me. Of course, it's a must win game for the Dodgers. Not so much for the Toronto Blue Jays. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, considering using Shohei Otani as an opener or even as an outfielder in game seven if Los Angeles forces the World Series game seven

against the Toronto Blue Jays. He threw 93 pitches on Wednesday's 6 to 2 loss in game 4. Now, if he starts the game as a designated hitter and then comes in as a reliever, in order to stay in the game, he's got to go in the field. But if he starts as the opener and then comes out of the game, he can just stay DH.

Do you know that us trying to explain that while you did it very thoughtfully, matter-of-factly, it's still going to confuse me and the rest of the people that listen to the show right now. Openers, just like he's the starter, he can leave the game and stay. Reliever, he's got to play the field if he wants to stay in. Easy, easy, easy, baby. Openers get to stay. Yes, relievers have to go. Unless they go to the field.

If you want to DH. maintain his bad spot. Okay. I mean, we're talking. It's funny they were even having this discussion. That's how ridiculous Shohay Otani is. Yeah. We're talking about him playing on, would that be Sunday?

That'd be three days rest. Pitching on three days rest in a game seven World Series scenario. Happened to many people before. But also hitting. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, I guess that did happen when pitchers used to hit the National League. But like being in a guy who's OPS is over like a thousand.

He literally is a generational. player. Yes. We can't, and we use that turn away too much. We say generational too much. We say built different too much. He's generational, he's built different. Like, for instance, Trevor Lawrence is a generational quarterback. No, he just sucks. Mid to

Fair to Midland? Actually, it's not sucks. He's just Yeah, he's mid. Average. The epitome of mid. Yes. All right. Continue on. Elsewhere in the news at noon, Chris Greer, Dolphins General Manager has been fired.

Mike McDaniel will keep his position at least through the regular season. Sources have told Adam Schaefter. I'm calling BS on this. If the dolphins continue to lose and it looks really bad, things are going to come to a head and Mike McDaniel's going to be fired. Like if they lose out, there's no way he sees out the rest of this season, right? Does it even matter, though? I mean, they're not going to playoffs now.

It kind of doesn't. No, they're not. Well, maybe it matters for your fantasy team. If you got Devon A-chan. I have him. Did okay for me last night? Yeah. Also, elsewhere, this is important news for the AFC South Race, Matt.

Travis Hunter, heading to the IR after getting hurt in practice. A non-contact right knee injury, but the team is still trying to determine the extent of the injury. But if he immediately wanted to IR, that sounds like it could be something pretty bad. Liam Cohen saying we're currently assessing the injury to determine the best course of action moving forward for Travis and the team. So, Neelos is a not a rookie of a year candidate. Yeah, I got to go take him out of one of my lineups. So go ahead and do that real quick. By the way, Texans showing videos within the last hour of Dalton Schultz on the practice field.

Getting ready. The Friday is a more of a walkthrough than an intense workout. Which is a good sign for C.J. Stroud, who probably will have Christian Kirk and Nico Collins back in uniform for the Sunday tilt against the Denver Broncos. And one more quick note, LSU interim AD, Vidge Osberry, Verge Osberry going to have full authority to hire the Tigers next football coach. He told reporters today, the search committee has already been formed to identify Brian Kelly's replacement,

but he will have final authority. He is a former LSU linebacker who's been connected to the university for more than 30. Okay, so even though it's to tell the truth to me, going to make this a gut feeling. They do not hire a current power forehead coach. Well, the favorite is the Tulane coach. Yeah. What's his name?

Apparently, the betting favorites are the Tulane coach and then Joe Brady. Why the Tulane coach? I don't get that. I saw that today. I don't like that. Because Tulane has been. They're winning again this year. Louisiana Ties and John Sumroll. I think, again, to go get John Summoral would be a lot cheaper than going to go snag away somebody else that say,

you know, I don't know. Mississippi State or... He lost the Gasparilla Bowl in his first season at Tulane and now the Green Wave are 6 and 2. So, I mean, maybe the Louisiana connections. Look, to be honest, it's going to be significantly easier to bring kids to LSU than it would be at Tulane. It just would be.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, it'd be a good job for John Somerol. I just don't know. Here's a problem with the Joe Brady situation. He was he's OC and Buffalo, correct? He'd have to leave. Yeah, you can't miss recruiting and transfer portals and all that. If Buffalo goes Super Bowl.

They go to Super 30 years of February. Yeah. You can't wait that long. I agree. Rockets practicing right now as we speak, playing the Boston Celtics tomorrow in Beantown. I'll be there for the call on that one. Yes.

It's a little bit of a later start time. 7 o'clock. Yeah. Yes, that is late. The Celtics are playing tonight. I think it's got to be the reason why. For the Eastern Conference. Yeah.

6 o'clock Rockets Launchpad with Dan Matthews. Tomorrow. What are you going to be doing tomorrow? On the front of your television? Yeah. I'll be watching the Longhorns. And we'll see. Arch Manning has practiced the last two days. When did the Vanderbilt Texas game ever think of it would be worse something?

But my goodness, it is. Diego Pavia and the Vanderbilt. Vandy defense have been playing well as well? It's funny. Venderville by 15. What? Vanderbilt by 15. You just sat on a major market radio show that Vanderbilt's going to win by more than,

win by two touchdowns plus? I feel, I'll have my head up high right now. Then Blue Jays win tonight. then I went two. We're getting word from Steve Sarkisian. Shut your bum ass up, man. Yeah. Longhorn's favored by three and a half.

Does all the oxygen reach your brain all the time? Hey, whoa. Just wait till Monday. You know what? Wait, man. Wait, man. Oh, the last time you were so bold with a pick, you had SFA beating Houston. But look at it.

You know, but it worked out for you though. 7-1. We started that before you got moments. Now, you were gone for gut feelings. He said, and I said he was crazy at the time. He said Blue Jays are winning three straight and winning a home. Oh, man doesn't know this. Yeah.

He said that on gut feelings. Oh, he's feeling good. So he's feeling himself. You know what? You see why he's puffing his chest out. That's fair. Let me tell you, if you get that right, you get your shot on Tuesday for sure, for sure. All right.

Anything else? That's it. That's the news at noon. 1216 on Sports Talk Seminary, we're going to check it in Denver coming up at the bottom of the hour. Now, I did not say in my pre-show tweet today that it was a must win on Sunday. But you know what I am? I'm a standings whore. Okay.

They can lose. they can lose. You certainly don't want them to lose. They're going to win. All right, when we come back, you're going to give us the, no, no BS, but legitimately the one reason why they're going to beat the Denver Broncos. Okay.

You can leave it at one. You can put two if you want to, but I'm requiring you to give me at least one. Because as I said the very beginning of the show today, I'm not making a prediction on this game. Okay. I'm too torn because I don't know what Denver offense is going to show up against a Texas defense. and I want to know if this

quote unquote better offensive line is really going to be able to protect is going to be able to protect CJ against the best sackick the Denver Sack Exchange. How about that? Okay. That's bad. I sure why not.

713-212-5-790. Rossi, friend of the show so we cannot call our airline Dix Airlines because it's been taken? Well, he says, Your tagline wouldn't be really appropriate. Thank you for riding.

Exactly. It's perfect. You can't say it's even better. You can't say that. That's the whole point. We're being rude to you. Thank you for riding dicks. Airlines?

Airlines. Oh, flying. Flying. Flying. Oh, my God. I said riding. I didn't say that's what I'm saying. It's not a greyhound.

That's why we can't do it. I just don't think it's good. We call ourselves a-hole airlines. Or us being polite to you is optional. That's our tagline. We'll be nice to you when we feel like it. Or how about sit your ass in your seat and buckle up? Let's go.

Okay. Our airline has training, we think. What do you put this among the Halloween songs, by the way? Number one. Not even close. Not even close. Not up for debate in my eyes. Can I get some Monster Mash before the end of the show today?

Okay, you know what? It is up for it. Monster Match is number two, and you can say that one. Let's do. Let's do Monster Mash next thing. For me, this is number one. And there's no debate in my mind. This is number two.

This is the modern songs. You're my Monster Mash number one? Because it's just OG. That's it. Yeah, but the video, get out of here. I mean, I understand. As I just said, I understand, but you're wrong. Weekdays have the two.

I mean, I'm kind of used to it. It's like when people want to argue, Ronaldo's better than Messi. I understand, but you're wrong. But you're wrong. The answer clearly. is Palae. That's an acceptable answer as well.

Thank you. It's not, it's a little bit acceptable. Even though he was scoring like 500 goals against like Brazilian teams in the 60s who weren't very good. If you ain't with Pella, you ain't with me. That's okay. 7.1.3, 212.5.7.9. Yankees. Keith is with us. Sorry, your squad's not playing for the World Series.

YK. Good afternoon to you. Oh, happy Friday. Hey, I got a rocket question and two footmen. ball predictions that are going to come true. Okay. Unfortunately, Ross, you're not going to like one of them. Okay. When is Doreen Phine Smith

supposed to play? I mean, come back from a whatever it's got. Should be, is there a timetable? I haven't seen a timetable on DFS, man. Is it like any moment now? Dorian Finney Smith? You know what? Let me save that for your sources. Let's go. Let me get up to Boston and

Keith, I'll send you a message. I'll call your people. Okay. I got two football predictions. Ross, you're not going to like it. I think the Broncos are going to beat the crap out of the Texas and CJ Strauss going to go down. Wait a second.

I thought you were Texans Keith now. No, I like the Texans, but I really am. I'm going to get to my second one. You're back on the Titans? No, no, no, no. This is my bold prediction. the Baltimore Ravens will be in the Super Bowl. They're going to get two defensive ends or pass rushes from some of these weak teams that make some trades.

And they're going to go on a row. They're going to finish at least 10 and 7, and they're going to actually go through the Super Bowl. If they're going to go 10 and 7, they have to go 7 and 2 the rest of the way. I don't have their schedule for me. Is that possible? I mean, guess anything is possible. Oh, here. Let me run this through.

for you. Yeah, because we did this a few weeks ago. Vikings, Browns, Jets, Bingles. Forfeus 4-0. That's a quick start. And then the Steelers at home at the Bengals, home for the Patriots, at the Packers, at the Steelers. So the last three.

There's a possibility. And that's to my point, Ross and Keith, is that remember I said this is not a must one for the Texans, but if Baltimore is breathing down their neck, with that soft schedule coming up, You need this one coming up on Sunday. They can start ripping off some of these wins, for sure.

Because it's not a battle for the division anymore. It's a battle for a massive wildcard chase. The division looks lost. Anything else? What's your other prediction, Keith? Well, it's going to be a rough Sunday again for the Texas. Because if C.J. Strau goes down, which I think he will. They all are going to end up like 500 or 8 or 9.

Who's y'all? Wait a second. Wait a second. Yeah, that's good. You converted to Yank. Keith last year. I mean, Texans, Keith.

I said, I'm disappointed. But I don't believe in the Texas. I believe in a Ravens. So you can call me Ravens, Keith. I'll be Ravens, Keith. Once y'all lose Sunday and D. D.J. Strau goes down for four or five weeks.

Sorry, Ross. Mm. I love you. All right. Thanks, Keith, for the phone call. Now Ross is down in the dumps. Yankees Keith, who apparently changes the front end of his name every six or seven months. He was Texan Keith literally last year.

Yeah. That's true. What the heck's going on here? You know what? We're going to find out from the Denver perspective what's going to happen on Sunday. If I'm not ready to make a prediction, are you ready to make a prediction? Did you make one already? I haven't made an official one yet.

We'll do it next with Andy Lindahl. This is the OG. They'll be taking the field on Sunday and hoping things go the Texans way. And when Nick Falls goes with a passing call, number 99 will be batting the ball. He had a swat. It was a JJ swat. From JJ what. He gets those a lot.

He had a swat. It was making me hot. That's the best part. It was a JJ swat. From the two minute warning to the final gun. The Texans' defense will be having some fun with Clowny and listen, watching the Eagles fall. Nothing makes me. Oh, we're going to play this again later today.

We've got a guest on the line here. Man, you got to play it later. Well, he's got a glimpse of the radio greatness we bring here on Houston, Texas. Well, when we used to give a damn. He said that right now before this is a break. And he's like, man, we don't get done at our radio station. Yeah, it's probably his equipment works better than ours, those too. Oh, well, it's fine.

Andy Lindell, one half of the powerful three to six squad you can listen to at 92.5 altitude sports radio. Their good friend, Jesse's my road engineer when I do with Rockets Games in Denver. And Andy joins us here for I believe the second time on the Matt Thomas Show, Ross. Andy, how the hell are you? I'm good. You guys, look, I'm all about that. We do a Sky Friday. Have you ever heard of Sky Music?

Are you familiar with that genre? We do that every Friday. Yeah, but is it like real Scott? Is it real Scott or is it like no doubt? No, no, we've got, do you like less than Jake? We actually paid the guy from less than Jake to do the theme song. Oh, wow. So we've got like a whole legit thing going.

Yeah, the listeners insisted. We're like, dude, we're not paying for that. They said we would, so they did. Oh, wow. It's been like a five-year deal. So there you go. Because Scott does so well, he'll make you a jingle. That tells you all you need to know.

Yeah, we don't pay for anything. So, uh, our guests come from. for cheesecake slices on the show. So we'll be sending you something as a guest on our show. Hey, first of all, I think sports radio, us making predictions. Our audiences don't care, but that's neither here nor there unless there's like something invested into it. I am not making a prediction about this game intentionally because I can't figure out how the Texans offensive line is going to not give up nine sacks this week.

Conversely, no disrespect to Bow Nix having a good season. but the defense that you saw last week against Dallas is atrocious. They're getting a massive upgrade in terms of who they're seeing with this Houston, Texas team on Sunday afternoon. Listen, you're not going to upset me. Bo Nix has had about five or six good quarters this year. I'll be honest with you. This is why I don't tweet during games. We were three quarters into the Giants game,

and that was just one quarter prior to the cowboy game of that magical fourth quarter, where I was like, you may have to bench this guy. They couldn't get a first down. couldn't make a right read. He was over. He's developed this habit when he's pressured, which to your point, the Cowboys couldn't do at all last week. He was like he was picking out Halloween candy in the aisle there last week. I mean, he had no worries in the world. But when he was pressured against the Giants and some teams previous, he was like running up into the pocket doing like this shot put throw. He kept overthrowing receivers. He couldn't hit a deep ball. They couldn't hit a

deep play. And the offense was drawing booze from the crowd and empowered. during that Giants game for most of the day. And I still can't explain what the hell the fourth quarter was. I know Brian Daibold's not the smartest guy in the NFL, should never had Jackson Dart throwing on the interception that ultimately led to the momentum they needed to turn things around. But if you go back and watch that game, and all you need to do is watch the fourth quarter,

it's inexplicable how they got done what they got done to score 32. This is not a high, this is not a big play, you know, fast-moving offense. They are dink and dunk. They are college-like. They are Oregon-like, because that's a bone. Knicks does best. And when he's pressured, he tends to make not always the best decision. And he doesn't love, I think he and C.J. Stroud are dealing with the same thing. Or when they drop back into zone and the windows are the NFL kind of tight windows you got

to throw into it. I'm not sure the guy loves throwing to him. So to be honest with you guys, I don't know what to expect either. I was last with my partner, Nate. I said, we might get a nine to six game. And it may just depend on which defense turns the other offense over deep enough he can kick a field goal. Well, I know the Niners this past week tried, Andy, to get into that ball control against the Texas defense, and they were hardly on the field. So when you're telling me that Bo Nix is going to try to make these longer drives, I'm presuming you're saying this, is the Broncos offense got enough components to go, 10 plays 80 yards, sick four or five minutes off the clock to keep the defense guessing a little bit?

Sometimes it does, and here's what happens. And the Giants, I know Burns from the Giants was complaining about this. Their defensive, one of their front, linebacker and whatever, it was one of the rush guys get upset. that they decided to drop eight. And if you drop eight against Bo, he will run against you if you give him the lanes. Now, he's not going to put him in him, I'm not painting him as that, but he'll pick up five, six, seven yards, he'll hook slide down. He doesn't take a lot of hits.

And sometimes that's what fool's defenses. They're going to try to run a lot of screenplays. Sean, and I think it's from the influence of Davis Webb, the quarterback coach who works in this thing, too. Davis Webb has brought some college influence to Sean Payton's offense, where they had a great play design last week where everybody ran to the left side of the field and the running back RJ Harvey just kind of snuck out behind the line of scrimmage on a screen pass and by the time the Cowboys, and again it's the Cowboys take that into effect.

By the time the Cowboys realized where Harvey was, everybody had run to the wrong side of the field. All Bow had to do is give a simple training camp like pass to Harvey and he walked in with no tacklers in sight. So they're going to try to get you with some motion. But look, I don't know what they do well because against the good defenses, they haven't done anything, anything at all. How they beat the Philadelphia Eagles was a little bit mystifying, too. That game also sucked for three quarters, and then they got 17 straight points and found a way to pull that one out. If you let them have a little life at the end because you drop back into pre-vent stuff, they're going to eat you alive. But if both offenses are struggling to move the ball and no one's, you know, feeling prevent-like,

then I don't know where anybody gets their offense from, frankly, looking at these two squads. Andy Lindahl with us here on a sports talk 790 and your the frustration and your voice kind of points me to my next question Andy or our next question. How do you feel about Sean Payton? Because I mean the results pretty good did make the playoffs last year. But it sounds like maybe you're kind of frustrated with some of the results that still have borne out under his tenure. Well, but the whole thing is just kind of I will tell you this. So I was a Bronco sideline reporter for a decade. And during that decade, I covered the Tim Tebow season.

Now, Bonix in this offense is not as bad as Tim Tebow and whatever, you know, I mean, you want to talk about really putting some together the NFL have never seen. And that was based off a run game with Willis McGahey that was unstoppable. But some of the stories I can tell you that I've heard, it's for another day. But that thing was a dysfunctional mess and always found a way to pull together in the fourth quarter. Again, the Broncos aren't to that level. But look, you guys got to make a decision with C.J. Straud sooner. We're going to have to make it too.

Is this long-term sustainable? You know? And there's just too many times where I see it's ugly. They can't pick up a first down sometimes. They can't move the ball at all. Sean won't commit to the run. Listen, the way the Broncos could get this thing done is run the football. J.K. Dobbins looks more like the Baltimore vintage pre-injury J.K. Dobbins

than what we saw last year with the Chargers. And we saw him twice. so I know what he looked like. He's better from whatever that. Remember, he had the catastrophic injury that got him, you know, separated from the Ravens to begin with. But he's really good at running the zone stuff. Now, there's the flying the ointment, right?

One of the reasons why I think the Texans did what they did against the Niners because I've seen it when the Texans kicked the Broncos butt when Kubiak was coach and Shanian was there with the Broncos is give inside knowledge of the system. So when the Broncos try to go wide zone, your guys are going to know what they're looking at. and they're probably going to know where those cutback lanes are, and Dobbins is feasted off the cutback lanes. But Sean doesn't like, like Sean,

Sean is every modern offensive coach in the NFL. No matter how well you're running the football, he's got to show you the cool pass plays he's drawn up. And sometimes he gets so stuttering. The calls come in late. He's late to decide on what personnel he wants in there. I mean, trust me, there have been plenty of games where it's just been so maddening to watch.

And if you guys get that, get that this Sunday. I'm not going to be surprised if the Broncos lose this game. All right. Lastly, let's your run. Let's talk about what does scare folks here that are following this game a little bit. It's the fact that the Broncos lead the league in sacks. When you watch a game, is it just intense pressure? Is it maybe the offensive lines of the opponents? I mean, it could be a combination of both. But, you know, somebody's got to be on top of that list. And right now, Denver's front seven is getting to the quarterback very often so far this year. Yeah, listen, Nick Benito's legit. And I know he's probably not a household name, but again, I was lucky to cover the career of Vaughn Miller start to finish.

Nick Benito has that same first step Vaughn Miller does. Now, I'm not telling you the same guy. Vaughn had this unbelievable bend to his body where he could just duck under the first punch of tackle would throw, get around the edge and cause havoc. But Bonito, he can get off and he gets real good at guessing snap counts. If you're late in the clock, he'll get off and your tackle won't have a chance. I've seen tackles this year just pitch a shutout, not even getting their hand on him. And then the guy on the other side, Jonathan Cooper, who a lot of people don't know, but he went to Ohio State,

he's developed into a really great punch. So if Benito chases you from one side to the other, Cooper's going to be there waiting. They've got Zach Allen, who's been a mini JJ Watt. You know, and maybe you've seen JJ giving a shout out to Zach. They played together in Arizona. He's very complimentary of Zach's game. Zach has been an absolute diamond in the rough fine for them in free agency. John Franklin Myers is another guy that can be a problem.

The run stoppers, Malcolm Roach and DJ Jones. They've got a fearsome front seven. What we're wondering about in Denver is, you know, and I laugh because we still have some people in town that want to try to bane the drum that the Broncos should have drafted Justin Fields years ago instead of taking Pat Sertan, who's the defensive player of the year, because people just don't understand what a good quarterback can do for him.

I'm sure you guys deal with that, too, is stinging. Right. I mean, listen, things change. You guys know, the educated fan, I'm sure there's plenty in Houston that see it. When you're allowed to say this guy is taking that guy out, and we had the stat this week, the Broncos with C. Tan in the game have not allowed a number one receiver a touchdown this year. And that's guys like Michael Pittman and last week to C.D. Lamb and on and on and go look at the list. They haven't exactly played a bunch of scrubs, A.J. Brown.

So, but that's a lot of Certan. Now he's gone. I don't know that he's going to be able. He's been able to walk up. He'll get with two yards of your top receiver. He'll jam him. and already the quarterback's got to look elsewhere. And then if the three-step drop becomes a five-step drop,

that's how that pass rush is getting home. Are they going to have the same effectiveness killing the quick pass? I don't know. The thing that hurts you guys is Dalton Schultz. I don't know if he's going to play or not. But Tidens still have given this defense a little bit of problem. Ty Warren, the Rooking Indy was a nightmare for him. The kid that's making a name for himself with the Chargers,

ate them up when they played a few weeks ago. So if Schultz can go, that'll be a feathering your cap. If he doesn't, again, I think we could be looking at a lot of 1960s football where nothing happens. Shultz is on the practice field. So tell your folks back in Denver, that is the case. He is at least working out with the boys today. Andy, thank you very much for the time, and we really appreciate it. And tell all my friends at Altitude, I said, hello, and looking forward to Rockets Nuggets,

maybe a Western Conference finals, I'm hoping. Oh, yeah, that'll be good. And it's going to be a fun basketball season. We'll see if it's a fun football game Sunday. You guys have to say Halloween. Thank you, my friend. Andy Lindahl, 92.5 altitude sports radio. A great guest here on the Matt Thomas show.

Ross, we got Dr. Odo coming up for your fantasy football advice and Jonathan versus Cole Thompson in the Fantasy 5 on Halloween Candy. Let's go. Clash of the Titans. I'll finalize the end too. All right. No more changes. Oh, he's got his list locked in.

I mean, this isn't a songwriting Hall of Fame song, but it certainly claps, right? Slaps? And claps. And clapped to it. And slap to it. Well, of course, it ripped off I want a new drug by Hugh and Lewis in the News or Kenny Long?

He knew Hugh Lewis in the news, right? They got sued. Who won? I think Kenny Long, I mean, I think Hugh Lewis, one. Ray Parker? I don't know if the news won. Yeah, I think

the Huey was like, news like why do you forget about us? Like the Pips never won a lawsuit with Gladys Night. Just if you got out of the money of yourself. You just get replaced. Yeah. Get some new Pips.

Um, I got a hot take for it. Ghostbusters didn't like the movie. Never even seen it. Didn't like it at all. Go ahead. Pregnant Paws. Pregnant Paws.

You're entitled to your opinion, Matt. And I hope you have a great weekend. Ross, you like Ghostbusters, really? It's an all-time classic. All-time classic. Ghostbusters?

Yeah. Come on, dude. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Hell, Ramis. Yeah. Sigourney Weaver? Nah. You know what? You may not agree with me, but just

extremely quotable? Okay, go run some lines for me. I don't know. Dogs and cats sleeping with each other? Stuff like that. Mass hysteria? Okay. Best Halloween movie?

I mean, it's... It would have to be... I'm not to go super OG. Young Frankenstein back in the mid-70s. You know, I have never seen... I want to see. It's on my list of things I need to see. I have not seen that.

I know it's very widely regarded as... Gene Walder. ...one of the greatest movies in the whole time. That's a... Madeline Khan. Ghostbusters is 95% fresh. Yeah. Well, there's a 5%.

I mean, that 5. And I... And I... And I'm, that's fine. 88% a audience score. Okay, I'm in one, 12%. Like, is there a movie out there that's 100%?

Has anybody gone, I absolutely think that's the greatest movie I've ever seen? I think normally it goes down eventually. Like, ultimately, if you don't laugh at airplane, you have no sense of humor at all. Even if you think it's the elementary, the lowest hanging fruit. Yeah, there's a ton of movies, actually, apparently.

With 100% score. Showgirls? And that does not have 100% score, no mat. Now, most of these only have like 20 to 30 reviews. Yeah. Okay, here's some with over 100 reviews. Most recently, Wallace and Gromit, Vengeance Most Fowl. It's good stuff right there.

Wallace and Gromit's my jam. Okay. So, point being is that even though I'm in the minority, vast minority, and you're wrong. That's fine. It's a great film. I can live with that. I've been wrong a lot before Oh look at Jeremy

Did you get a Jeremy Pena's shirt Jonathan? Look at he's pretty He's bragging about his Astro shirt he's just got From the Astros I'm trying to find film who has the hookup man I'm hype I didn't get my shirt Where's my shirt? Oh my gosh here we go

You gotta be nice to Gordy man He probably got that from the softball game Yeah do we have a gourdie report of how he did in the field And how he made on wire that was a great documentary. That had a perfect review. Gorgeous, how'd you do? Toy Story, perfect 100%.

You're on the IL. Then why'd you go? Wait a minute. You were hurt and you still went? I was kind of like Beau Bichette. Like, if they really needed me, I could have played. So you stood out there and watched with a bunch of other people that you've never seen in a media event before who worked for a TV station?

I clapped a lot and yelled positive things. So who, how are the teams? Was it people that think they're in media versus real? media? It was mostly a lot of our Telemundo and Hibizio Friends. Yeah. The Spanish TV stations load up on this media game. They love the media game and they love bubbleheads.

Like five, six, and ten people anchors who have never been on Astros game in their life playing this media game. That's how important it is to them. Yeah. Do we have any seven any representation at the game? I was alone. Huh. Where's Wex? Why didn't Wex play? Where's Clinton?

He was at Texans. He could have gone to the Astros thing. He He chose... Where's Man Dathieus? He was on the air. What time was the game? 930. Oh, okay.

Oh. could have gone. I don't go to Texans. I haven't played softball since I was like a... Like, it's been 20 years. My last time I played... I was 0 for 3 with three grand outs to shortstop every single time. Let's I pull the ball. I'm happy about that. I'm rolling it over. I mean, it's slow pitch. And you won't take the show over there. Maybe you should sit at Apo, Maddie. No, no, no. And they fed you? What have you do play-by-play? Had a couple hot dogs, yeah. Oh, that's why he went. Who was the best media player? Can you say in their person's name? One Charles Pololo. He's still the best? He is, there was a wall.

He's like in his mid-50s. If they retired a jersey number for media members, he would have his jersey retired. I mean, I know he's, I've heard about him like, is he still play shortstop? Third base eats everything up and rips everything. He's like Carlos Corray. He's moved to third later in his career. He used to be the do everything shortstop. He was like the Ozzie Smith, apparently, of the media game.

Well, now he's moving over to third base. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. That's what I just said. Good. Thanks for listening. Michael Shapiro from cron.com. He ripped some.

Oh, really? Huh. Good for him. And the rest of people, I had no idea who they were because they were a telemundo. He doesn't, he doesn't watch it uptime.

I spoke a lot of Spanish. I didn't understand. We hear a lot of, Vamos. Okay, thank you for the update on the media game. Who? That's, you know what?

Tip of the captain, Charles Polillo, for still being, getting at it. Now, of course, he'd moved to third base now, but still the, vacuum cleaner at the hot corner.

Again, if you're going to retire a jersey for the media game, it's got to be his. It's him. I've been here every year for decade plus how he's dominating that game. When he worked for us, he would take the day off so he can make sure you can play the game. Yes. That's how crazy

it was. All right. Hey, let's get Dr. Roto already. You ready? Sure. Dr. Roto next. You're on 790. This is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Turned out to be up. I don't know which wide receiver I need. Roto, give me the news. I really don't know what I should do.

The fastest 30 minutes is a major market radio, the one, the only Dr. Roto here on Sports Talk 790. Congratulations, Dr. Roto. The NFL worried about you fantasy gurus out there. They just find the rame is $100,000 for not telling the truth about Lamar Jackson's injury status last week. Well, I mean, it was kind of ridiculous. Didn't everybody in their fantasy leagues think he was starting? And all of a sudden the last second, no, now we're going to see a little Snoop Huntley.

So, look, they should be telling players. The NBA is even worse. You know that, M.T. It's like five minutes before starting. You're like, oh, he's not playing. That's ridiculous. There's a lot. You know, with the draft kings and sandool and the gambling component now, this information is even more critical.

And I think all these leagues need to do a better job of getting it out there. All right, I want to start with the local game here because I'm very curious about what to do with a variety of things. First and foremost, the Texans defense really quashed everything that San Francisco did last week, which is saying something because McAfrey was having a good season

and Mack Jones was doing all right for himself. You've got this return of Nico Collins and you've got Christian Kirk and I think Dalton Schultz did practice today, so you got a spot there. How are you sizing up who plays and who sits on both sides? because this one could be, on paper, it feels like a very low-scoring football game coming up.

And Las Vegas agrees with you. I mean, right now this game is like at a 40 total. Here's the problem. We know when CJ Stroud has time to throw, he's really effective. And the 49ers without Bosa without Fred Warner, they don't have a pass rush. But now you've got Denver. Denver has a pass rush.

Even though they don't have Patrick Sertan, I think that Stroud is going to be under siege. And because of that, I worry. I just don't know whether this is one of those weeks where this game explodes. On the other side, Texans defense has been tremendous. So I really feel like this game, I think Vegas has it right. Maybe it's 21, 20. Am I going to start Stroud?

Not if I can help it. Nick Woody Marks has an injured calf, as we know. I think he's very questionable. I mean, would I start Nick Chubb maybe against his Broncos defense? I think Dalton Schultz is in play. I think Nico Collins is obviously in play. outside of Collins and Shulso, I'll stay away on the other side. I mean, I know R.J. Harvey had a tremendous week.

I'm not going back there. Maybe Cortland Sutton. But I just don't think this is the game that I want to be starting for fantasy purposes. All right. We'll take your questions and comments for Dr. Roto in the next segment of the show at 713-212-9. 7-19. Let's get right to the marquee matchup of the weekend. And while the Texans Broncos may be a low-scoring affair,

52 and a half actually feels kind of low in the chiefs and bills. What is your sense of that after Vegas gave out that line? Yeah, Vegas is like, hello, there's going to be points here, and they will. So first of all, I think what happens is Josh Allen has those great games when he gets pushed. He's obviously going to be pushed. He wasn't pushed last week against Carolina when James Cook ran for a million yards. Thing is, chiefs are not very good against mobile quarterbacks, but the chiefs are good at stopping the run.

So I think this makes it not a James Cook week, but it is a Josh Allen week. I don't think I really love any of his receivers. I would start Dalton Kincaid. I'm okay with Shakir, but the rest of them, I would stay away from. On the other side, you're absolutely starting Mahomes. Pacheco is likely not going to go. I think Kareem Hunt is in play. You know, Buffalo's run defense is not very good.

Rishie Rice is always in play. I mean, this guy is special, and now we're seeing it more than ever. And I think Kelsey is in play as well. I think the quarterbacks are sensational if you had them. I think Mahom is going to run for 40 yards as well. I mean, Buffalo's run defense is not bad. But it's Holmes, it's Rice, it's Hunt, it's Kelsey. On the other side, it's Allen for sure, Kincaid.

You could start Cook because you might not have better options, but Chiefs run defense is very good. All right. The Colts are the surprise of the league this year at 7-1. I don't think anybody's thinking they're going to go 16-1. I don't know this is a trap because they've had so many blowouts this year. but could the Colts from a scale position-wise have trouble at Pittsburgh this Sunday? I like where you're going with the track, B, T, I do.

I mean, Steelers were not good last week, and all of a sudden the Colts have been great. It feels like a game where, oh, the Colts are going to win. It's an easy one. It's never easy in the NFL. I think Aaron Rogers has a great week this week. I do. I think D.K. Metcalf has a great week. Jaylon Warren is in play.

I think even John Huss Smith is in play. Why are they to play? Even if the Colts win, the Colts usually let up in the fourth quarter, so you get a lot of garbage time production. Look at Chimari D.K. last week who had 16 fantasy points for the Titans. So I think all those guys are playable. For the Colts, Daniel Jones, get him in your lineups.

Jonathan Taylor, get him in your lineups. I'm going to give you a surprising guy. Alec Pierce. I know. I know. Ridiculous, right? Yes. But Pittsburgh Blitz is a lot.

Pierce, when they go to the Blitz, they look for him. So I'm fine with Pittman. I'm fine with Downs. I'm fine with Tyler Warren. but if you're looking for a sneaky play of the week, Alex Pierce might be your guy. All right. Can the Niners bounce back at New York?

It's two trips east significantly distances, and this one going to the Giants. Giants feel a little bit snake-bed after their performances of the last couple of weeks. Will Mack Jones and Company get back on track at New York this Sunday? Yeah, I think they win, but, I mean, Vigis has this at a 48-and-a-half spot, and I kind of agree. I like Jackson-Dart.

Jackson-Dart has been sensational. And you know what makes Jackson-Dart even more interesting? Now you don't have Scataboo there anymore. Tyrone Tracy tends to fumble by the goal line, so Dable doesn't like to use them. I can see Jackson Dart running in a touchdown easily. Wondale Robinson, I think, is certainly in play because the 49ers not good against slot receivers. Look what Jalen Noel did last week. So I think Wondale is in play.

And Tyrone Tracy is going to be the new starting running back for the Giants. So you have Wondale, Dart, and Tracy for the Giants. On the other side, McCaffrey, get him into your lineup. Etch this guy in. I also like Joanne Jennings a ton and you know let's start with those guys Kittles always in play but the Giants do have a very good defensive line so they may need to have him

block a little bit more but I love Jennings and I love McAfrey. I don't know about you but I find myself now that I've got Drake May firmly entrenched in my starting lineup he gets off sometimes with some slow starts and then I look mid third quarter mid-fourth he's got 23 or 24 fantasy points you anticipate that kind of run this week against the Atlanta Falcons I do I really like Drake May this week

So here's a couple of things we know. One, Ramandra Stevenson is out. They confirm that, too. Falcons are the best team in the NFL against opposing tight ends. So this doesn't feel like a Hunter Henry or Austin Hooper week. You know the Austin Hooper Revenge narrative there, if you believe in that. Trayvian Henderson, Mike Vrable hates this guy. Now, you would think that Henderson should have a good week here, right?

I would think that too, but I just don't see that. So what do I see? I see Drake May throwing a dig. I see Drake may throw in a bootie. I think Drake may throw in a DiMario Douglas. I think Drake May is a great start this week. All right. Cowboys score, that's no problem with that.

But their defense is horrific. If I've got anybody on the Cardinals, do I give him a shot in Dallas this weekend because that Dallas defense is so porous? Yeah, look, we're going to start four guys. I don't feel great about Kyler. So with you, you're starting May over, Kyle. I don't care if it's Cowboys.

Don't care. Secondly, Bam Knight is likely going to be the start of there. Dallas can't stop the run. So if you're desperate, which some people might be with four teams on by, you can start him. I love Marvin Harrison Jr. this week. I love him. But, I mean, he's dependent on Kyler. As Kyler goes, Marvin goes.

That's the scary thing. But I love Marvin Harrison. And of course, we love Trey McBride. So McBride and Harrison are locks and lineups. Bam Knight if you need him. All right. Time now for the obligatory sports RV. Question of the week.

I'm glad he brought up Bam Night because I'm starting. Don't laugh too hard. I'm starting Bam Night. and Woody Marks if he's available this week, Dr. Roto. It's rough going right now. But anyways, I'm also starting the Texans defense. Just your thoughts on them this week and maybe some options you think that aren't normally good defenses but are good streaming options this week. Yeah, I mean, I think, look, the Texans defense is pretty darn good.

And this division is not, I mean, is it done? Well, it's getting close to being done. But I think the Texans get into the playoffs because of that defense. So certainly, you know, Bo Nicks can make some mistakes. I think they're a good start. please go get the Rams go get the Rams right now Tyler Shuck are you kidding

I mean this could be a nightmare so the Rams feel like a team that's going to put up I don't know 12 to 14 points this week and they were on by last week so a lot of people might have dropped them so right now the Rams and the Jaguars are the two teams that I'm looking at defensively the Jaguars been very aggressive

and the Jaguars are hanging onto a playoff spot as well so I think those are two teams that you can get those defenses on the cheap all right time now for your question 713-212-5-790 7-1-3-2-2-7-90 i love your analysis because i just picked up the jacksonville defense for this week so thank you very much dr rhodo for that we pay him for the big bucks seven-one to resuscitate your team correct seven-one two-one two-one five-seventy seven-nine if you have a question for dr roto we'll start taking those questions next Sports Talk 790.

You guys call in right now. 713-212-5-790. If you ask Dr. Roto how he's doing, he will tell you he's doing great. If you ask us how we're doing, we're going to say we're doing fine. Get right to the question, get in, get in, get out, and get a lot of folks in the next handful of minutes here on Sports Talk 790. 7-13-212-5-790. We'll start with Josh in Cyprus. Josh, your question for Dr. Roto.

Yes, me, I need a lot of help this week. You gushed on both of them. Aaron Rogers or Jackson Dart And then On the other one it's ATN, Pollard Or um

Geez Mason Yeah, okay So first of all I'm starting dark Uh-oh, what happened? Did you hang up on him? Yeah, that's one good. Let me get him right back Hold on.

Thank you, Billy, for the phone call. We got to put everybody on the right line there. Call him back, Dr. Roto. Ross Follow SportsMT on Instagram, correct? Follow SportsMT on Instagram. Yeah, it's a nice. It's a nice follow.

Yeah, we got to build the show somehow. We're doing best. We're going to go off the backs of your fame. Piggy back, backs, whatever you want to use. 713212-5-790. 7-1-3-1-2-5-7-90. We're going to get Dr. Rorto back here in a second. There he is.

All right, Rodo, you're back on. All right, let me go. I didn't realize I was talking to the air there. He was given his best analysis possible. Oh my God,

Rodo, we're so sorry. I'm so sorry, Rodo. I can't repeat it. Dart over Rogers ETN over the other two guys. All right,

there it is. Brevity isn't important. Let's talk to Billy and Katie for the laryngitis led Dr. Roto. Hi, Billy. Hey,

I got two. Etienne or Dobbins, Stroud or Caleb Williams or interceptory prayer. I'll hang and listen. Thanks. All right. Look, if Caleb Williams can't get it done this week, then he can never get it done. I mean, really, you're playing the Bengals. Please. I mean, Justin Fields threw for 244 yards. So let's go with Caleb Williams in this one. E.TN and Dobbins is tough for me.

I don't love Dobbins this week. I really don't think it's a prime matchup for him. ETN, this is where I'm at. Basial Tutin, he's coming. He is. He's close. but the question is, I think that they're going to give ETN some more time. If he can't get it done this week because the last few games have been a disappointment, I think he's going to get replaced. So I'll go with ETN based on the matchup, ETN and Caleb. All right. Let's go to Stephen in Los Angeles for Dr. Roto.

Go ahead, Stephen. Hey, Dr. Roto. I'm in a full PPR double flex league and with the news of Travis Hunter being out this week and possibly on IR. are my options to fill his spot are Alec Pierce, Woody Marks, or maybe even Kyle Pitts. Let me know what you think about. I don't know what you think. I like Alex Pierce. I mentioned it earlier in the segment.

I think Pierce is in a really good spot. When teams blitz, he's almost one of their first looks. I like him. I think that game is going to be very high scoring. I'm worried about Woody Marks' calf this week and Kyle Pitts, I just don't ever love. By the way, getting back to Jacksonville, the two names you're going to be here, a lot. One, Parker Washington. Very consistent, not flashy, catches the ball well. Diami Brown that gave the dude $8 million. He runs. He's explosive. He just has some bad drops at the worst times.

So I think, I mean, sad to see because I think, I know, not I think, I know they're ready to use more Hunter. So this is, this is a really big blow there for the Jaguars. Carlos for Dr. Roto on 790. Go ahead, Carlos. Who are you starting? Tyler Warren, Ordo you go call it at the flex. Okay. Look, I think I'm going to start Nico Collins. Not that I don't like Tyler Warren, I do. But I think when you're with Tyler Warren, is he going to get me 25 points?

No. He's pretty much a lock for like 15. Nico Collins is the guy that can get you five or he can get you 25. C.J. He's C.J. Stroud's first look, right? I mean, now that he's back, how is he not the first look? Sir Tan's there. So I think if you're asking me who the safe play is, it's Warren.

Who's the explosive play? it's Collins. All right. To Cyprus and Josh for Dr. Roto. Go ahead, Josh. Sorry, I don't know if you got the herbary earlier. So I was having issues with Pollard, E.T.N, or Mason. And then I got Woody Marks, but you said he's questionable, but there's literally no one else besides waiver. Yeah, yeah. So I'd answered your question. It was E.TN and Dart. ETN and Dart. There you go. Let's go to Miguel for Dr. Roto. Hi, Miguel. Hey, Dr. Roto, got two for you. Jackson Dart over Jordan Love. Also at the Flex, Kraft over Jordan Addison. Oh, good question. So, look, Carolina, not very good against tight ends. So I do like Tucker Kraft. We saw how special he was last week. I like Jordan Love, but here's the issue. Josh Jacobs is there, and you know they run the ball on the goal line. Jackson, Dart, really.

since the time he has been starting, I would really call him a top seven fantasy quarterback. He's got that dimension, that mobility. So if he throws for 200 yards in a touchdown, you're looking at 14 points. If he runs 50 yards in a touchdown, you're at 11 points.

14 and 11 is 25. I'm not good at math, but I'm good at fantasy math and 25 is a lot of points, dude. All right, and let's go to David in Vegas on 790. Hi, David. Right. Anyone stand out special to you in the Sunday night game between the commanders and the Seahawks, either positively

or negatively. Thanks, David. That's a good question. I think you can't run on Seattle. You have to throw in them. So how about a guy, let's take a flyer on Luke McCaffrey. Let's just take a flyer on him. I mean, McLaurin hurt.

He's going to miss. Debo's fine. But let's take a flyer in McCaffrey because you can't run. And I don't think Nick Nichols, Bill, Christ, Roski Merritt. Not sure I love any of them. All right. A couple of emails in. Jordan Love or Drake May? Drake May. Okay. Let's see here. A few on the Twitterverse. And that would include, let's see here. Dix. I mean, Dart, Knicks, or Darnold off a bye week?

I think, oh, Donald's interesting. I don't, I don't hate Darnold in a game. It's going to be 25 points on the road. And we know the commander's defense isn't sensational. I'm going to go darn. but I don't hate Darnold. I'll just stick with the Dars. All right. Two for wide receiver and one for flex. Olabe worthy Oduenze. So look, Olavee scares me because of Tyler Shuck,

but he did get a lot of looks when Shuck came in and he missed Shaheed on some big throws. So I'll go Olavey for sure. I think I'm going to go Roma Dunzee. I mean, against the Bengals MT, come on. That's a game you want. It's not that I don't like Worthy, but I like Cream Hunt. I love Rishi Rice.

I love Travis Kelsey. A lot of mouths to feed. And we're loading up against anybody playing Sincere defense. That was embarrassing the way they gave up the points against Jets last week, right? How do you not fire Zach Taylor? Seriously. What is this guy done to deserve a job? Him and Mike McDaniel.

Bye. Last one. Henderson, Hubbard, and Spears. Which one of those three play? Look, I think you take a shot on Henderson. If there was ever a game, I mean, Stevenson's not there, unless they're digging up some guy from somewhere in Worcester Mass and putting them out there. If Mike Vrable hates Henderson that much, then we're in trouble.

All right, ladies, Jim, we asked Dr. Roto once a week to give us a knockdown dragout 100% must play. It's Dr. Roto's Lock of the Week. Man, we always love Detroit when they're home. And you know what they're going to do? Minnesota's going to blitz them. And you know what Jard Dauph is going to do? Jarkoff is going to find Amal Ross St. Brown 100 yards and a touchdown. Lock that one in MT.

That is Dr. Roto. Lock of the week. Where do we find you between now and 7? Sunday. You can always find me over at Dr. roto.com, enter the promo code win, and we get you 10% off our monthly package. You find me on Sirius XM

Fantasy Sports Radio every Saturday morning from 6 to 9 a.m. Central Time, and of course, on Twitter at DRROTO. Looking forward next week for my friend. Thank you for the time, as always. You've got to take care. That is the one and only Dr. Roto with us here on Sports Talk, 790.

Time now for the Fantasy 5 best Halloween candies. It's up next at 130 here on 790. All right, here we go. Now, ladies gentlemen, I don't ask much of you. I actually do ask a lot of you. Listen to the show, support our advertisers, calling the show, be participants in Trunter. But now we're asking for judges. Be nice to me. Be really rude to Ross. We're looking now for five judges. It's a best of seven of the fantasy five. Ross will have judge number one. I'll be judge number two. Best of seven on the fantasy five, first of four wins. Okay.

It's Halloween candy. Not from Ross and myself. but from our friend Cole Thompson, who you heard this morning. Can you hear on the 18? Good God. You take a nap? No, I'd have to go home and let the dogs out. You're sick.

And Jonathan, Alan, who has this is losing it. You both are losing your virginity on this, right? Yep. Yep. First Super Fantasy 5. Now we had a coin flip during the break, and it was determined that Jonathan won the coin flip. By the way, we're looking for five judges who like candy.

I mean, this can't be. This is a low-hanging freeway. 7-13-212-5-7-90. So, Jonathan, you don't, I'll put them on hold. You worry about your content. I'll put them on hold. Okay. 713212-5-7-90.

Who has the better list? And, Ross, you were writing the list down, is that correct? Or can you? Yes. Okay. I can. I'll do the same because I'm a judge myself. Nobody wants to read your chicken scratch.

Thank you. Thank you, Ross. 7-13-212-5-7-90. 7-1-3-2-5-7-90. We're looking for best candy. And the first vote. The first selection goes to Cole Thompson. This is easy.

Best candy out there. Always going to be good no matter what size you're going to be good in. Reese's Pia bar cups. Okay. Okay. Uh, yeah. I can't, I can't argue with that. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups is actually not my favorite, but a very popular pick.

It's a very classic. It's a safe pick. You always want to go safe with round number one. I got, I got you. I got you. It is a snake draft. That's the first pick you want to go with, okay? Oh, Shade already being thrown.

There we go. Shade already thrown. I was curious, that's why I gave him the first pick. I wanted to see where he was going to go with this. All right. My first pick, got to go with Starburst. get it out the way.

Starburst, okay. Easy, nice. You never can go wrong. You never thrown it away. You're always going to trade for it and get something else. You're going to go Starbursts, okay? Starburst is a classic. That's your first selection.

Don't you hate when you get the packet that's like got two and then it's the two yellow ones? It's a two yellow one. There's a person that I know that loves both yellows. Oh, they're sick. And I'm that guy too. You're sick. Okay, automatically you lose his points. No, you pick Starbursts, it's fine.

You just said Bob Dewe yellow. It's a preference. That's fine. All right. And what I'm going to go with next? you know, it might hallow some controversy, but I grew up

it's my favorite 100 grand. Oh! I love, that's what I go to. I'm trading for them. They're always rare. And you don't really find them. And I was a kid to go to the front of the

door and like dump all the like the bowl and need no candy for, you know, and you never find them. Now, my opinion, this is a reach, but it's a good pick. You know, they're reaching for who they want to pick. But it's an immediate starter.

If you love the hundred. 100 grandbar, you're getting serious points. It's a reach as far as the board, but it's a reach for an immediate starter, if you ask me. I had to take a risk here. How to go somewhere. All right. All right. Call you at the next three picks. Two picks.

Two picks. Okay. Let's go easy. Back to safe. It's very fun size. Snickers. Snickers. It's classic. Absolutely. Let's go a little bit outside the box in this next one.

Nerds rope. You get the, nerds rope. You get the gel. You get the nerds. You get to pull. apart with your teeth, it's a fantastic selection. That's why I'd go with the gummy clusters. That's where I meant.

Gummy clusters. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait a second. We need a ruling. Can we do nerds rope if that counts as no I'm sorry. I'm going to judge that the vote

is in at nerds rope because that's what you said. Now, if you want to say, what did you? What was the other one? Nerds gummy clusters. If you want to use that as another selection, you can't. I'll wait. That was a tough break. Judge Thomas was rough on you.

He was right with the hand up and everything. Judge Thomas said, hold on now. Hold on. Okay, nerds rope is the pick then. Okay, I get the next two. Back to two for Jonathan Allen. Okay. I went chocolate and I think I'm going to stay chocolate, okay?

Gotta keep the Milky Ways around you. Milky Ways are good. Got to keep the milkways. You know, I could go a lot of options there, but it's a personal favorite of the three. I actually struggling. I got to keep the Milky Way there. I am really struggling.

I mean, we've got a heavyweight bout, I'd say, right now, Matthew. I'm going, yeah, I'm going to hold off my commentary. All right, so you got one more pick. Okay, and then one more pick. I'm going to have to go with now and later's, okay? I know I went starburst, but now and laders are very, like, I know, I know those people out there that love them. That's my personal favorite. I love now and ladders.

I got to stick with them. I got to stick with them. Can't go anywhere else. Okay. Cole, the final two picks belong to you on your side. Well, then the final two Yeah, but I mean, his final two. Yeah, yeah.

Let's just knock this one out of the way. Sire Patch Kids. Who does not love a pack of Sire Patch Kids? Oh, dear. There's four to five in each. You always get the flavor. It's fantastic. I will just say it out loud.

It's my favorite candy of all time. And last but certain, that least, the most underrated candy bar of all time. Give me a three Musketeers. Three Musketeers. Nothing is wrong with the Three Musketeers Bar. It's fantastic. It's fluffy.

It's light. It's very easy along with. I have a stupid question. So a Milky Way is like a Milky Way, but with no nuts, right? That's what she said. Yes. Yeah. Right.

You'd think the musketeers would have the nuts. I don't really know there's much difference between a Milky Way and three musketeers, honestly. What is caramel one doesn't? Okay. What is it? One has caramel one does it. Okay. John, the final pick is yours?

Final two pieces or final one? Final one. You got one left because you've done two, two, two. Okay, two. Okay. I'm going to stick the old classic crunch bar. Crunch bar? Old classic crunch bar. You can't beat that. You get that in Halloween, especially because of the king size.

Oh, dude. So nobody took candy corn. I'm just kidding. I thought it was going to take Butterfinger from being honest. All right. So I'm not, I'm the second vote here. So I'm not going to. But how you gibronies don't have baby Ruth.

Oh, almond joy, mounds. And how do you? have these on the new list. M&Ms are certainly M&Ms I'm going to give you, but those other ones are these picks are most of the other. How do you not have Butterfinger in there? How do you have Almond Joy on yours? Almond Joy has nuts. Mounds doesn't.

Mounds is sickening even worse. Oh my God. All right. So, here it comes. Wow. Cole, Reese's cups, Snickers, nerds, ropes, Sour Patch Kids, Three Musketeers. Jonathan, Starburst, 100 gram, Milky Way, now and later's Crunch Bar.

Ross, you get the first folks. This is the way I'm doing it. I'm picturing there's five in one bucket on the left and five and one bucket on the right. Which bucket you're taking? Sour Patch Kids are my favorite candy of all time. Now and later's is the weakest pick on the board. The rest of your list is very good,

Jonathan. But I got to go with Cole on this one. He edged it out. That's fair. That's fair. That's fair. I'm sorry. As I said, I was rooting for you, Jonathan, but I have to be impartial as a judge. We need to- myself. We need two more votes.

Two-one-two-five-seven-nine. Seven-one-two-seven-90. I think both these lists suck. Honestly. So it's a featherweight match. It's not a heavyweight value. It's the worst. It's the best of the worst.

Let me real quick. I don't like Starburst. These are both great lists. Starbursts are amazing. I don't like now and later's. Yeah, that was a redundant. see what's the Starburst, Jonathan. I don't like Three Musketeers.

I don't like Sourapash Kids. I don't like Nerds Roe. You know what? No, you should be decued as a judge. You just don't like candy. It's a deal. And mounds were on his list. And I actually like,

I don't you want to miss a butter's worth of? I love Reese's pieces. I'm not a fan of Reese's cups. So the question is, do I take my love for stickers compared to the 100 grand and the crunch Brunch bar.

The lesser two evils, Snickers is my favorite. Cole, you get the vote. I'm sorry. But both lists absolutely suck. And how do you all take Twix by the way? I thought about it. I thought about it. Twix is up. But I will say the $100,000 is like an upgraded Twix because it's got the crunch. See, you know, that's what I love

100 grand. If you, okay, if you were taking it with your fifth pick, I would have been shot. No Mr. Goodbar is in a mix to. We'll see. People still got a vote. All right. 713. 212 5-790 7-13 we have all of our judges now we don't need anymore so let's do this again it's first to seven Cole has a 2-0 lead in the 7 best of 7 and this is a just horrific group so far you're wrong these are great picks here on 790 who wins a fantasy 5 Jonathan or Cole

I'll tell you that much but I'll tell you this Jonathan you got it man 100 grand bar buzzer beat it right there all right so Jonathan yeah like I said you figure to go later in the draft but it's an immediate starter All right. It's a first round pick. It's a late first round pick. A little overdrafted, but still a good pick. Josh on 790, Jonathan or Cole, who wins a fantasy five?

Oh, now and later is the worst. Cole, you win? Cole wins. Wow, Nilever later getting a lot of shame. Yeah. I like now and later's, but there's better picks out there. All right. Excuse me?

That's what she said. Brandon on 790. Who wins the fantasy five? Jonathan or Cole? He did not pick the starbursts. jellybee, but he still to go with Starbust, so hog nuts

cook it. It's a vote for hog nuts. Three to two. Can he come back from 3-1? Can he pull a... Cole leaves 2016 calves. We're going to New York, W-F-A-N.

James and God knows. James, who wins a Fantasy 5? Jonathan or Cole? You know, Jonathan is my man, but by a Sneaker, this guy won Mr. Cole Thompson, because Snickers is a classic. There it is.

Yeah, I was surprised Snickers fell as far as it did in the draft as the number four pick. Cole, Sour Patch Kids, and Nerds Ropes, and you, those are great. Shut up. Shut your bum ass up. Three Musketeers is not great. If I would switch, if I would switch. Almond Joy is for 90-year-olds. I love almond joys.

Oh, you want to get a Worther's original on the list, too? That's not bad. That's not actually bad. A bit of honey. You want that one, it said? A chico sticks. Oh, chico sticks to jam. See, exactly. Like I said.

If I would have had Twix on there, it would have been a clean sweep. Twix instead of three musketeers, it would have been a landslide. As is, you edged out, Jonathan. All right. Thank you, gentlemen, very much. Good job. Jonathan. That was a good list.

Hunter Grand was not bad crunch bar, but some of the other stuff was just horrific. Crunch bar and 100 grand is a little redundant as well. They're both crunchy. Yeah. All right, let's play All the things West Virginia. We're going to have to play. West Virginia, right?
