Astros Set To Face Rangers Tonight! Brice Matthews Is Called Up, Rockets Summer League Opener

H-Town, good morning, and welcome to a Friday edition of the Matt Thomas show with Ross. This is Sports Talk 790. It doesn't? Herschai, he's got to be quite the opposite. Good morning. No, Herschizer is a German name, but he's Jewish. Now, Oral is a Jewish first name. Yes.

It's Hebrew. It's Hebrew for being Astrohater. Hmm. Hebrew for jackass, I believe. And I believe the brewers, they swept them in Los in Milwaukee just this past week. So it wasn't that special sweeping the Dodgers is what you're saying. Well, we've seen a lot of sweeps around these parts last week or so. Unfortunately. Good morning, everybody. Hey, happy Friday.

Happy Friday to everybody. It is an Anything Goes Friday here on the Matt Thomas show with Ross. Ross explained the essence of an anything goes. And I mean, anything goes. Anything goes Friday. 713-212-5-790 is the phone number. 7-13-212-5-7-90. Anything that you want to get to if you want to talk about. The Astros huge silver boot series against the Texas Rangers. If you want to break down the Wimbledon semifinals happening right now with Carlos Alcarez and Taylor Fritz.

Taylor Fritz. Let's go with that as it's into the fourth set. If you want to break down your favorite Talyard Brewing Brew. Do we have a good time yesterday or what? Holy smokes. It was fun. Yeah, it was a good time. A lot of people came out.

We gave away some tickets, gave away some golf. Good brews, good pizza. It's a good time. Delicious. Yeah. By the way. Sorry, Jonathan. We had a really good time.

Sorry you couldn't make it. I know I could hear. I was just like, every time y'all laughed, it was like, dang. It sounds like a good time over there. Yeah, it was nice. It was really nice to meet a lot of nice great listeners there. And a really nice experience.

So thank you. Shout out to Talia Brewing for your hospitality. Tonight is a must win for the Astros. And you're saying, well, why is that sports? I literally almost cursed. Are you bleeping me? It's July. Uh-huh.

Go ahead. It's not an example or reason that you ever heard before. but I went for my 3 o'clock bathroom break this morning. Okay. That wasn't the reason why. So I like to attract flights. All right. Like if you're on a plane going somewhere or I'm on a plane somewhere.

Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. I saw this on somebody who was tweeting about it. Yes. So the Rangers played the Angels yesterday. Mm-hmm. In a basically early evening, super late afternoon game in Anaheim. Okay? Okay.

Yes. They started the game as late as humanly possible they could play with it being a back-to-back involving travel, also involving the distance between Los Angeles or Orange County in Houston. Yeah, literally one minute before, right? One minute before. So kind of a cheeseball thing to do. Love it. And it didn't work because the Astros or the Rangers did win yesterday,

but it did put them in a difficult travel situation. So when I was going to the bathroom at 3 o'clock in the morning, I googled the flight between S&A, which is Orange County's airport and Houston Hobby. Or I want to say just about everybody charters into Hobby Airport. Okay. And I couldn't find the flight. And I'm like, well, what's up with that?

So I checked on the flight aware LAX to Hobby. Uh-huh. And that's where the Rangers plane was. So not only do they play the game in Orange County. Okay. They had to go up an hour north to fly out of LAX because my guess is they were not letting departing flights leaving Orange County that late. Because my guess is by the time the game was over, it was probably 9 o'clock at night. And they're like, no, you can't leave out of Orange County that late.

So they didn't leave LAX, the Rangers, until 1142 Pacific time. their arrival at Hobby was 4.35 this morning. They're on, I believe it's a nine-game road trip too, by the way. Okay. So by the time you unpack your bags, get your bags, get on the buses going from Hobby to downtown. Okay.

You're looking at maybe not hitting your head to the pillow until maybe at the earliest 6 o'clock in the morning. All right. thus tonight is a must win for the Astros You can get eight hours and wake up at 2 p.m. and then get to the ballpark. Yeah, you could do that if you have a desk job. You're supposed to be a fine-tuned professional athlete.

I can get a little extra sleep. Now, my guess is they'll skip batting practice. Uh-huh. I'm just saying it. I'm putting it down. If the Astros do not beat the Rangers tonight, it will be the most disappointing loss. of the 2,025 season to date.

They're minus 125. Well, they should be minus 3,000. Not a must-win game I'm saying in the middle of July. Okay. But I understand where you're coming from. I just gave you the classic, I gave you thoughtful analysis. Logical evidence to say that's going to be a tired puppy baseball team. They're going to be tired, so you want to jump on them.

Yes. Okay. Now, the only thing that could be benefiting the Rangers is, and by the other, who's starting tonight's game for the Rangers? Jack Leiter. what they will normally do is that they have strange travel considerations. Yeah, Jack Leiter could already be here, right? My guess is they flew Jack Leiter to Houston yesterday.

Okay. So he got a full night's rest. He's feeling great, feeling fine. So tonight, the key to an Astros victory is four errors by the Rangers defense. Because they'll be the ones that'll be tired. They'll be the ones that didn't get the extra rest. They'll be the ones that their heads didn't hit the pillows until about 6 o'clock this morning. Okay.

So ladies and gentlemen There's Lance McCullors Jr. There is no other radio show in the marketplace It is guaranteed you an Astros win Except this radio show. Thank you, Matt. Thank you for the inside tip. Yeah, you're going to nowhere else.

I know. Because nobody else tracks planes like I do. Nobody else is tracking planes at 3 a.m. like you. And that's what we appreciate you, Matt. Yep. All right. Your quirks make you who you are. It is. It is. It is. It is.

is as part of the thing. What's the quirkiest thing you do? I can't say that What's the corkiest thing you do That you can say on the radio I don't know Um My quirky

I mean I do quirky stuff I'm not trying to dodge Yeah yeah yeah Every does quirky stuff Like I go to sleep listening to Podcasts of old wrestling stuff Huh

That's quirky I like to look at people's planes Where they go That's quirky I put on sleep sounds No That's not the ordinary at all I quit playing chess but I still watch a lot of chess videos

Now the chess video watching is quirky Okay I had to quit because I was playing to like 4 a.m. I get too competitive Were you playing for money or just for the skill? No, no, for money. Yeah, chess.com, well, Leechess is actually the better one. Chess.com is predatory. They try to get you to pay for the subscription every five seconds. Leachess is all free and they don't ever, they just add, they, you know, it'll pop up if you want to put a donation but that's it. You don't have to pay for anything.

All right, Jonathan, what is the quirkiest thing that you do in your life that you can say publicly? The quirkiest thing? Mm-hmm. I'm not trying to think about it because I'm not trying to dodge it either. Yeah, because whatever I do, I don't think it's quirky at the time. No, there are things I do in my life that are quirky that will never be discussed on this radio station. Maybe off-air podcasting, sure. Yeah, like keeping your socks on.

I don't think I'm the only one does that. While you sleep? Let me figure out my quirky thing before I got mad. I don't know. I really don't know. Like, hmm. I'll come up with the list.

All right. We got a break. We got a break. 713, 212, 5790. 713, 212,

5790. It is a Matt Thomas show at Ross. We take this program today until 3 o'clock. We have, 3 o'clock, 2 o'clock. We went to 3. We'd be asking for a serious extra pay. We have I'm sorry at 1130 today.

Okay. So you need to apologize for a lot of things. you've done and said because that it feels like four to five things even jonathan's noticing that all the insult you you throw at me during the course of a four hours show okay so i just should apologize for insulting you every week but see when you apologize matt and this is an important life lesson for people you should apologize when you're actually sorry and you're going to stop doing it okay so like hey i'm sorry something to me and then stop doing it like insulting me hey honey i'm sorry for coming home late and i didn't call you that means you're not going to do it again

if you do it again you're not really sorry you're just trying to cover see what a okay i got you All right, 713, 212, 579. We have a new Astro that will be in uniform tonight. We'll tell you more about him in a moment. 713, 212, 5790. And anything goes Friday, anything you want to get to. I mean anything. 713, 212-5-790.

So it is a debut, perhaps, tonight, for an astro top 100 prospect, Bryce Matthews from Ataskaceta. Yes. Or as the Kingwood kids call it, a trash caseta. That's just the smack talk. Oh, man, that's rude. Eh, it's fine.

Everybody makes fun of everybody's schools. Okay. You ready for this smack? No. My daughter was telling her friends that she lived in Kingwood and the girls were making fun. I said, well, I want to live a part of town that floods every five years. Getting flood smack? Yeah.

I'm telling you, the 17-year-old crowd can get smacky. They're vicious. Yeah. But a trash casino sounds pretty funny. Yeah, that's fine. I like a Tascot. It's fine. Okay.

There's a big city wings over there. My doctor's over there. It's all good. Sure. All right. So Bryce Matthews, the pride and joy of a Tascata high school. Yes.

I'm going to let him know you said he's a trash cacita. If we have him on the show, I'm going to say, what do you say to king with people that call you Tresca Cacet? You ready to fight? He's probably too nice to fight like that. He was very nice. He was supposed to play in the futures game.

game tomorrow. His future is now. Oh, I like that. He's on the path to future success. 283 of the batting average. Uh-huh. On base of 400, it's lugging 476. Yes.

Those are good numbers. Now, that's again S-Trippa. Well, the numbers can be, oh, I know you're going. Oh, I'm going to say it and you're going, I was thinking the exact same thing. Numbers can be skewed. Do you want the home and road splits? Let me give you the positive overall. Ten home runs.

Yeah, let me have Bill. You know what? I'll build it up and you drop it down because you know what you are. I'm sorry to be it. You are the Debbie Downer of this radio show. I'm really not trying to be a wet blanket, but we have to be real. Sometimes I've got to pull us back and yank us into reality here, folks. All right.

10 home runs. Go ahead. 39 ribby's 25 steel. So he's obviously got good speed. Uh-huh. Primarily a shortstop coming out of college. He made the transition to second base this year. And the reports have been very mixed at best about his work defensively,

which was probably the main reason why. I think a lot of folks, including Brian McTagger, who said, look, hey, I was told as of a week ago he wasn't coming up anytime soon. So, again, organizationally, things can change. Obviously, I think this involves Jake Myers. Would be my, would be a fair guess on that. I think that's a pretty easy guess. All right. So now, let's get the people on a depression mode and give us those home road splits.

This is from our friend Astros stats on Twitter. On the road, he had great numbers. OPS over 1,000. And they play in the PCL where you're on the road in a lot. of stadiums where the ball flies out. Reno, Vegas, Aberkirky, I can go on. In Sugarland, he is hitting 212 with a 598

OPS. All 10 of his home runs are on the road. All 10 of them. You know what? I feel like I should know this and I apologize that I don't. Are the dimensions at Space Cowboys Stadium a big deal or are they... Or is it just not altitude? I don't really have the

answer to that. Like everybody hits better on the road? Literally every space cowboy does. Every space cowboy, yes. So I don't know if it's cavernous. I don't know if it's 400 to left. I don't know if the power alleys are 500. But 10 home runs on the road, zero at home.

And here's the reality. And also from Astro stats, 66% when he swings, 66.6% contact rate, that's a very low rate. The worst in baseball is Michael Togli at 64.5%. And so his, and that's his numbers from triple it. he whiffs a lot and a lot of his numbers are better on the road. We'll see.

This feels like to me, and obviously we'll get a, I don't know if we'll ever get the true answer from the stroes and that's okay because you know what? You do hide intelligence. This feels like we don't need, we don't want to bring him up right now. We just need to bring him up.

My guess is you don't want to play Mauricio Dubon seven days a week of shortstop. No. So the question will be, when Bryce gets called up officially, if he does, and that's what everybody says, does he go back to his original position? I don't know. Zach Short plays good defensive shortstop. Here's a problem. I know. Zach Short doesn't have a major league bat. It's just not there. And that's, and that's, and it's, I mean, it is what it is.

And you can't continue to, I mean, Cooper Hummel, we love him, front of the show, but the Jonathan Curse kicked in very nicely, and he has not had much success since saying he was going to get three hits in a game. Okay. This is like, I don't know, man. You can shuffle it around any way you want. I'm going to make an analogy, Matt. Oh, so you're better than this than I am. It's like you have a spades hand, and you got like the three of diamonds and the three of hearts,

like stuff you don't need. You can shuffle them, and you know how you shuffle it? You know how you shuffle it? You can shuffle them out however you want to do. If you don't matter. It don't matter how you want to shuffle them. Best analogy. Okay, it's a good analogy. Okay, good.

So Dana Brown's hand has no spades in it. Yeah, you can. shuffle them around however you want. He's got a coin. He's got a coin of hearts, but the hearts have already been dealt out. Exactly. Damn, that's a decent analogy. I need to.

Is there an analogy class I can go to? Hey, baby, class is in session right now. All right. So, yeah, we can argue over Bryce Matthews and Zach Short and Cooper Hummel and Shea Wickham. Well, Shea Wickham's down. Yeah, she's down. know I'm saying we can argue over all these guys, but I don't know how much it's going to matter.

I know that Joe, Joe will put out whoever's has the best matchups against whatever pitchers and, you know, factor in, you know, Frommers a groundball guy. So we're going to put this guy here, all that type of stuff. So he's going to put everybody in the best possible place to succeed. But with what you're working with here, we'll just see how it goes. So what I'm curious about is this. Altuvee, when he plays defense, will play second base. it feels like, right?

I think so. Okay. Although you kind of thought he was going back to left. I think those days are done this year. I mean, I'm not saying for the rest of his career, Rossi, but I think the 2025 season, the time of Jose and left field is done. I would say definitely as long as Yordon is definitely with Pena out.

And then when Pena comes back, when Yordon is out as well. Because they're going to like to DH him a lot. I think, and we pulled up the numbers. His D.H. numbers are good. on DHA days, getting him off his feet. He's 35 years old. So put it this way. You're either going to be Jose Al Tuvee playing second base,

or maybe can Bryce Matthews, and I'd have to look at the minor league defensive metrics, and again, they haven't been great. Yeah. Is it fair for this young man who's getting his first taste of major league baseball to be flip-flopping between shortstop and second? Maybe that isn't even in the thought process. That maybe he plays second base when Al-Tubei is de-hing.

I'm going to, guess he's not going to play a lot of short. I would lean towards that direction as well. I get a gut feeling. I really don't know. So the question is, and again, Dubon has played better. He's got to have a nice hitting street going for a while. Yes, you got to ride that. And you know what? Sometimes you have to ask your utility players to play more than they probably

you'd want them to play. They did have a day off yesterday. So I'm presuming that Marisa Dubon was off his feet. So maybe Dubon is there, but for how long? Because at this point, we've heard nothing in terms of Jeremy Pena swinging a bat or trying to get close to getting back in the batter's box. So, yeah, my gut tells me that it's not starting every day, but when a day that you want to Altova, D.H, because you need his bat in the lineup, it's going to be Bryce Matthews's second base. And here's the one thing that's really of issue. You know how you want to get Jose off his feet

and getting an off day to kind of rejuvenate? He'll have the All-Star break, but there's going to be a stretch right out of the All-Star break that you're going to have 13 consecutive games. As long as Al-Tuva, or his Pena is still out, and as long as there's no signs of Yordon Alvarez coming back, you're going to need Jose Alt-Tuvi to play those 13 games. Now, not playing defensively 13 games,

but you're going to need his bat for 13 games. Yes. he's just been frankly the most consistent guy that's playing every day for the local nine right now I was pulling up Bryce Matthews's prospect profile from MLB pipeline just defensively

he covers plenty of ground at shortstop but comes with questions about his ability to remain there because his arm is merely average and he has issues with throwing accuracy Houston is working with him to improve his arm stroke and has also given his time at third base evaluators believe he might wind up at center field or second base. Yeah.

I mean, my guess is if everything works out well for the progression of this young man, who obviously is very highly thought of among the Astros and Major League Baseball, that he is your future second baseman. I didn't mention his speed, by the way. I think he says 25 stolen bases. I mentioned it. Thanks for listening. Okay, good.

Yeah. Yeah. So Bryce Matthews is in. Usually when you call up a prospect, you want to give him the lineup right away, which means I'm going to get. It's just a pure guess on my part that it's an Altovae D.H Day today. Okay. All right.

1028. It is the Matt Thomas show with Ross. It is in Anything Goes Friday. That means you'd call me with anything you want to get to. Not a piping hot sports day because the Astros did not play yesterday. Although they did gain some ground. Shout out. We, Yankees.

Let's go Yankees. Well, they're still. No, they're done. But it was nice. How about this? Thank you, Yankees. Thank you. Thanks, Yanks. Thanks, Yanks.

1028, Sports Talk, 790. Matt Thomas and Ross Villarreal on a Friday edition of the program, anything goes Friday at 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. Drove back from Talia Brewing yesterday. Watch my stories and then decided to watch a little bit of the Cooper Flag debut for the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Summer League. How was that?

He's good. Didn't shoot well. He's good. Was it a gut? No. Okay. You didn't run with it. I couldn't pull that trigger.

No chance. I wanted to because it's a Duke guy. Even though my family loves Duke, but they also realize that Duke players typically suck in the NBA. But he was good. You know who actually looked good yesterday, too? Was Bronny James looked pretty good? That's good, I guess.

Yeah. You know, get up to his averages up to two points a game? Well, you know what? They kept saying on the TV broadcasts that maybe Brony hits the rotation this year for the Lakers. I don't know if that's just being lip service or whatever the case may be. I'm going to, I would be surprised. Yeah. So, again, nobody cares about the final score.

I believe the Lakers won the game 8785. But, yeah, this is a guy that tried to posterize somebody in a Summer League game, which fell a little aggressive. He missed the dunk. But if it would have gone down, it probably would have made him a legend. One of the greatest summer league posters of all time.

Yeah. Here's the crazy part. The advanced tickets for this thing went bonkers. Yes, I heard that. If you wanted to sit courtside for this summer league game, now, what do you got the value or not as two different things?

Because it feels like to me that people that sit court side are the celebrities, they're the current players. The NBA wants those players to be on the floor. If you were just a Joe Smow from Kokomo, $2,100 to sit downstairs. Wow.

Do you have any clue what it is normally? You know, I don't. Maybe half that? If you've got $2,100 to spend on a summer league game. Yeah. Which there are people in Vegas who do. Oh, yeah. I mean, my guess is somebody did it.

but it feels like that's about the biggest waste of money you could have. Unless you just want to be seen, you want to be within a row of, you know, LeBron. I don't know who the players were that were hanging up. But my guess is there were some Dowell stars there and Lakers stars there at the game. Plus, I mean, the NBA in that lower level, and on course side, they're littered with NBA players. So if you just have that kind of thirst for being around that, I guess 4,000. You don't sit by yourself.

My guess you've got to pay $4,200 to sit in those two seats. It's ridiculous for a summer league game. But I want to say... But lower levels, we're going for $500 a pop? Yeah, that's crazy. Okay, well, it's Cooper Flag Effect. You know what's crazy, though, as you know... You've got to be careful that one.

Yeah, what's the percentage of people that make over a million dollars a year? What, 1% of the country somewhere in that range? I do that, I would imagine. But they always seem to find themselves at sporting events. Because I'm guessing somebody that's feeding a family of four, making $130,000 a family is not paying $4,200 for a pair of ticket. You know what I mean? It's just, and that's the one thing I continue to tell people when they say, what's it like traveling with the rockets?

I don't really spend time with those guys because they're younger players and that's their own life and they're not going to go hang out with broadcasters. I mean, I don't have a problem with that. But they just live in such a different world. First of all, they're the best of what they do. And if you're the best of what you do in anything, you're the most highly compensated people out there. The CEO of General Motors, the CEO of United and CEO of Coca-Cola. making God crazy money because they're apparently the best of what they do. 18% of Americans are millionaires, but that's when you count, I guess, net worth, like homes,

savings, all that. Yeah, I was thinking about just about pure salary. Yeah, yeah. Like the only millionaires I know are the professional athletes that I know. But you don't, I mean, do you know anybody that in your normal life that makes a million dollars? Well, you know what? That's not true. We work with someone that makes probably a million dollars here comfortably.

Hey, Ramon, do you prefer baked beans or do you like ranch-style beans with your barbecue? Ramon, when you go to Las Vegas, do you pull on the slot machine, do you hit the button or do you pull down on the lever? Now, with the butter milk biscuit, do you like the honey on it or you just eat it plain? Ramon, do you like it when you put butter in jelly on toast or is it just one or the other? Now, here's 17 live reads. 1038 on Sports Talk 7.9. Does anything go's Friday? Clearly.

Reed Shepherd and the Rockets play their first game tonight. He's a millionaire. He is a millionaire. Nice kid too. Yeah, we can get Reed Shepherd some work. Hopefully he can drop 40 in the first two games and they can sit him down. Yeah, it's funny. Gary Jackson, who's the coach of the Summer League team, is like, yeah,

I'm the plan is for him to play every game until they tell him he's not playing. Well, I would say there's probably a 1% chance he plays all the games. I'm going to say a word, and I'm not saying Reed Shepherd. this word, but I'm going to ask you if he is this word. Oh, okay. I don't even know what this word could be. It's a phrase. Please go ahead. Quadruple A player. I would say this about any NBA player

too early to tell. Okay. Good. Like, for instance, we were just talking about Barney James. I'm saying that's my fear. I'm a feared. That he is your 13, 14, 15 guy on the bench.

But you sent him down the G-League. he can drop 40, which he did. Oh, my God. We were on the road and he was playing one G-Leod game, and all of us watching it. Oh, he was 50, would it? Yeah, he was like knocking him back from 30 feet, not thinking twice about it.

Yeah. Keep that confidence, yeah, he's going to grow. I'm with you. I'm not judged his career yet. No, there's no way I could tell you that. Okay. Get better. Let's go.

But I will say this, when, and Raffel even told us this when he was on the show this week, Raffel's still in the general manager. He said, teams were calling for him. And the rocket said, no. Not that he was untouchable, but certainly wasn't a conversation starter. Or probably wasn't getting in the right realm of what they would want.

And I know last year's draft was considered horrendous, lackluster. But still, if you're the third best player picked out of a draft, you're supposed to contribute. And I think he will. There's this team, even though you've got Durant, and even though you've got, you know, Jabari Smith, a New Deal, and Fred Van Vleet is out there in Alper and Schengu. There's shots for Reed Shepard the next year. There just is. Absolutely.

He can carve out a roll. And not a elite defender, but not by any means, a sieve. Actually protects passing lanes pretty well for a guard like that. Heady, coach on the floor. Jim rat. Is that what you're saying? Don't say high motor. Don't you dare say high motor.

You'll knock out every stereotype at that point. I'm just asking you what you said. No, I said, No, I know. I'm just kidding. No. So, yeah, we'll be curious to see what kind of role. Now, granted, watch us come back Monday. Oh, did you see that six threes he made in the second quarter last on Friday night?

Oh, he's got, there's no doubt in my mind. He can score a lot in the summer league. Yeah. He should. Yeah. I'd be alarmed if he doesn't. Not saying he's got to score 40. First of all, I want to stay healthy.

That's the most important thing. Oh, you're right. Yeah. And then secondly, you know what? Let it up. Let's go read. He was on TV last on ESPN. So obviously they thought something of it.

him. Good. And as I said before, you need your, I don't care what the grade is top to bottom of a draft. Because my guess is if Reed Chipper was drafted this year, he probably would have gone, what, 15, my guess, 10, 11, 12? I can't tell you that. But I'm saying that he knew that the time was right for him to leave after one year, Kentucky, because he knew the draft was on overly deep. And that number three contract ain't bad. Number three of 15 is a significant difference. That is for sure. All right. 713. 212.7.9. It's and anything goes Friday here on the radio program.

At 1130, you have a half an hour to say you're sorry. We had a great group yesterday Italian brewing. I met some of you. Some of you all other people, apologies. Okay. And everybody was great. It was nice to see all of you. Yeah, it was nice. It was really, we wish we could get out more.

Yes. We're working on it. Getting there. 713-212, because these studios, we don't like these studios. I've asked Ross to come live with me to do the show from my house and he won't do it. Yeah. You can get the garage apartment. It's too humid.

Well, I'm saying it's free for you. The window unit's not working hard enough. We could probably get you something in range there. Okay. 713-212-570. That's 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. The Astros playing a beleaguered. Will that be the term I want to use?

Weary-eyed. Weary-eyed. Bleary-eyed Ranger Team. It's a guaranteed win day on the show. 713-212-5-7-90. That's 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. It's our Friday drop-by, our buddy Chris Gordy, of Sports Talk 790, fame.

7-13-212-5-7-90. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. Also liaison for remote broadcast. You are. You were all over the place yesterday. Yeah, we're proud of it. And you're going to, at least. Atlanta. I couldn't believe you all had 50 listeners. It was pretty crazy.

That felt rude. That was just in Sugarland, too. What's up? I know. What's up? Imagine we get all over these streets. I did have some fans, though. People stopped by. Hey, Gordy, miss the show with Stan. Like, man, a lot of people listen to that show. I got turbulence for that. That was AI generated.

Actually, I heard from a couple people saying that. Same thing, Gordon. They miss you on the air. Well, you could, let's see. Locked on SEC. Yeah. You get out quite a bit. Especially in July. Everybody's on vacation.

They should listen to every station in Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee. They'd be able to find you. Let's see what I have today. Do you keep a list of what you're doing today? I've got Lafayette. I've got Baton Rouge. And I've got Memphis.

You're on Memphis today? That's too big of a market for you. Yep. All right. All right. So you're going to SEC Media Days. Yes. And let's be honest.

You're going there just so you can hang out with Fimbombom. I mean, are you going to try to like your, like, I'm his little brother. I have been trying for years to get on Fine Bomb, and they won't book me. They've booked everybody I know. They will not book me. I don't know. It may go back to years ago. You got beef?

I took a shot at him. What did you say? I just said he's supposed to be the voice, like he's the preeminent media member representing the SEC. And yet he couldn't tell you who Vanderbilt's starting middle linebacker is. Well, is he supposed to know. know Vander Mill, starting middle. He picks and chooses. But like if you know the conference, he knows Bama.

Yeah. He doesn't know the rest of the conference. Yeah, but again, if you have only certain many hours in a day and you're going to do a radio show, I don't know what it's radio. I listen to a show sometimes and I'm like, I'm feel dumber for it. But it's like you. If you're one of the voices that covers the Astros, it's like if you didn't know who the starting center fielder was for the Astros. Like, you should have a pretty good idea. I don't know.

I would pick and choose my best. battles on that. Like, I can't tell you the center field there is for the Reds. I should know. Okay, but they're not in... They play at them? Once. It could be them in the World Series. All right. So you're going to go about, you know what I think the number one reason is you don't wear collared shirts on air? When you do, you start wearing some collared shirts. COVID, that'll help. COVID just started wearing T-shirts during COVID and can't go back. Okay. It's too comfy. All right. So are you driving or flying to Atlanta?

Flying. Okay. And what is, let's more important to talk about the social scene. What will you be who will you be hanging out with when you're in Atlanta at the SEC Media Days? So the gist is, and having Dan there, Dan will be doing his show live from 7 to 11 a.m. Eastern every day. So we'll see who we're able to book for Dan. But then my thought is, or this, what I typically do is I'm sitting at a table from 7 a.m. till 5 p.m., 6 p.m. Eastern. And trying to tape as much stuff as possible and all that. Will you get a Mississippi State middle linebacker on the show in Salisbury?

show. No. I think like basically any guests that are available in Sean's window we will pose to Sean are you interested in this person? If he's not, I will tape with them. Okay. So you're going to be hearing from the center at South Carolina on the lockdown

that's your audience. That meets the audience criteria, right? We want to hear from those types of people. And I like to get to know the players because there's been future NFL stars. Like Amari Cooper or Calvin Ridley was a guy I interviewed media days years ago. And then went on to become a degenerate gambler

and got banned from the league for you. It was a couple parles. He was bored on a Sunday. I do like when you do say, hey, I talked to this guy two years ago, now he was in the first round. Hendon Hooker, he replays the video from like two years ago,

get some clicks. Will Anderson Jr.? Alabama, a Texan star. Texan's legend? Yeah, that's good. It's really good. All right, let's get to, all right, what else we got going on for you?

The Astros just announced that, you know, we got the lone star the Silver Boots series starting up tonight. The Astros and Rangers are teaming up for an initiative to support Central Texas flood victims. They're all going to wear during batting practice t-shirts as say together for Texas. Excellent.

So kind of a good cause for two fan bases that hate each other, but coming together for a good cause. Are they going to auction these shirts or do some sort of charitable thing, I guess, in tandem with this? My guess they'll kick in for more money, would be my guess. Good. Yeah, astros.com slash flood relief.

You can go there to donate if you'd like. I bet you you probably get some, buy some shirts too. It would be kind of cool to wear. Okay. I like a good shirt. I know you do. Silver as Boot Series to me does nothing, though. I would say out of one to ten, it's like a two.

Oh. And then we'll give it a one. I'll give it a two. I think it's a six. Really? What? We can't lose these d-bags? No, no, that's a diamond bag.

It's not the D-bags. I want the American League West. So you lose two out of three? You got to get the rim shot for that one, Matt. You lose two out of three this weekend. You're like, oh, well. Yeah. No, you know why?

Because it's not, yeah, oh, well, it's, yeah, we lost games. We, because, of course, I'm the backup right fielder. It's because the Astros lost games. It's not because I could care less about the opponent. I really do. Like, for instance, the Astros are, what, 17 games above 500? They've gotten swept at home by San Francisco. Yeah, it would have a little more juice.

If they were both good, I would bump it up to, like, a 4. or five. But if they come in and sweep you, it keeps them alive. That's true. But they're not going to. You're not going to sweep McCullors, brown, and Valdez. I don't think. But they got DeGrom and who's there. You also said you didn't think the guardians

would sweep them. I didn't. They did. It's guaranteed one night tonight, by the way. You catch my logic behind that? Guaranteed. No, he said must win. It's a must win. It's a must win game for the Astros today. They didn't get to their hotel until 6.15 in the morning. Who? The range.

But that never, that doesn't matter. It does tonight. I think, I think they're going to head over the L.C. Matting, minus 125 is juicy for your must-win. I have to do on-deck show tonight. I can't go. You can go. Wait, is he, what time you're going to be in Atlanta? Do they have betting in Georgia? No, I'm going to be at the ballpark. Okay. Need you go over there. We'll go get some audio from Bryce Matthews.

Oh. Oh. Gosh, man, Gordy. I'm going to tell you, Matt makes a lot of fun of you. I appreciate your hustle. I don't make a lot of fun of him. What? I just make fun of his SEC stuff. He hears the show. I appreciate your hustle, man.

You're going to get liners for frigging Bryce Matthews. Love it. Well, maybe not liners. He's pretty busy today. I'm sure he's going to speak to the video. Are you doing the game Sunday? No, you're not. Traveling.

That's right you're traveling. Yeah, all right. So what radio stations can we find you on today? Name them. Give me the call letters. It's Memphis radio. I think it's like... Is it like a Memphis YouTube page?

Yeah, what's it called? With a bunch of wann-a-want-a-want-a-ha-old. I want to hear what they're called, like, The Zone. The fan. I don't know this one I've recorded. There's a lot of people in this town that do YouTube shows I think they're members of the media. The Crawl Daddy in Lafayette.

WHBQ. Oh, that's legit. That's sports radio there. Yeah. Memphis? 56 the Q. 560, yeah. A lot of stations like east of the Mississippi call their numbers.

This is the first two. Oh. So we'd be 79. Yeah. Little known fact. Sports 79. Little known fact, when KKBQ the FM and the AM were simulcast

and they would split off, you would say 79 KKBQ. I'm not kidding you. That's stupid. Glad we don't do that. Well, we talk about 66. WFAN. WFAN.

Yeah, 66. The Yankees taking care of the Mariners. Yankees going to the last six runs of the game. I got you no hitter right here. Yeah, they were no bingoing no hit for a while. All right. So if you are going to hang out with your friends at the ballpark this weekend,

or maybe take some some beverage is up on the road to Atlanta as long as you're not driving with them. What would you be drinking? Hopefully you're grabbing a Crawford Bach from our friends at Carbock Brewing. I know you're a fan. You subliminally you just slip out Carbock brewing

whenever you get a chance. But I enjoy a Talia brewing more. And I like Talia too. But look, if you're heading to the game tonight, grab yourself a Crawford Bach. It just goes better with Astros baseball and whatever you have in there at the ballpark. I'm a Pluckers Wings guy.

I know you might be there for a dollar dog night or whatever you're getting over there at the ballpark, pair it with a Crawford Bach from Carbock brewing. Of course, you can subscribe to the Crawford Boxcast, Ross V.R.L. and myself, talking all things after us at least once a week. You can find that on the free I-Heart radio app. Is that Crawford Boxcast better than this show? Some weeks. Some would say.

Who would be them? Less hot takes. I don't even do hot takes in the show. Hold on Mr. Must-Wend game Thursday, July 11th. I'm just speaking of the gospel. On the box cast, we don't say. It's a must win tonight. All right, thanks, Gordon.

All right, 1057. You need to apologize some people. I know that my partner to my right does. I'm sorry, he's coming up at 1130. This is Sports Talk 790. 1101 on Sports Talk 790. It is the Matt Thomas show here on Sports Talk 790. 713, 212, 790.

Matt Thomas and Rossville, Oriole with you, 713, 212, 790. The Astros and the Texas Rw. Rangers continuing the sober boot. I just kind of brought it up organically. You and I share the same sentiment. You know, I think there's probably no luster in the Giants

and A series. There's probably the only one I can think of of the super close, it kind of means more thing, is probably the Yankees and Mets. I don't even think the White Sox Cubs series resonates in terms of... Probably not. I think a lot of it,

excuse me, a lot of it is because it feels like the Astros have owned the Rangers in previous silver gloves. Which of the, I'm trying to think of the ones you're mentioning. Some of those are inner league. But the Astros is, I mean, it is inner division. So it technically does mean more. Yeah.

Literally. Because you are literally shifting standings. Yeah, Yankees, Red Sox. It's not the city, yeah. It's not the same state. But they're pretty close geographic. They're probably about as close as Dallas and or Arlington. and Houston, all right?

Like, the best, if I was to say the best rivalries in baseball, forgetting about gloves or boots or trophies, Yankees, Red Sox is number one. Yes. Giants, Dodgers is probably number two. Cubs Cardinals?

Cubs Cardinals will be top three. I do believe that Padres Dodgers has gained a lot of teams. Yes, it is. Those games are always on national television. That's the Padre started spending all a bunch of money and not winning. White Sox Cubs does a lot of money.

something for me. Astros Tigers had, you know, I'll be honest, when they play each other, when they were, when the Astros were in the National League and the Rangers with the American League, it felt like something cool. Any mix of the Phillies-Mets Braves? No, because you play each other every year. I'm just saying as far as a rivalry. Maybe Phillies Mets. No, Philadelphia is closest

regional rivalry would be Baltimore. Nobody really, you know. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia doesn't, I don't think it means much. I'm just curious. I mean, I mean, I do, I think there is definitely some juice, but I don't know why. I'm just not feeling it this year. Maybe it's just because the Rangers are so bad. Now, I'll say this. It feels like, and I've not gone to a Texas

Houston game in Houston in a while. I don't remember. Maybe I have. But it always feels like Astro fans do want to run up to Arlington as often as they can because I think Astro fans like to travel. They love to travel. I was talking with a member of the Astros front office on Wednesday when I was at Dyken. And this person told me that the Astros in Denver, it felt like you have to crowd was Astros fans. You could hear it. You could hear it for sure. But I mean, there is the silver boot thing, but it's also just history and

the 23. I think the 23 ALCS really ramped things up for a while. But we're only two years removed from that. And yeah, I'm kind of with you. I'm not really feeling the juice as much. I did early on. Maybe once the game starts. I did early on. When it was National League

Astros versus National League Rangers, I thought it was a big freaking deal. But not anymore. Okay. Because again, you play each other what... I'm bumping it up from a two out of three. And we'll see when the game starts. You play each other 12 times a year. Yeah.

It's not like it's a special, you know, novelty item. It's not novelty, but you want to beat the Rangers. You just want to do. Yeah. And you want to make fun of their horrific downtown... And their horrible fans who are really actually just plotting out the Cowboys training camp schedule. Yeah, they're just buying their time. They're like, we're getting to Arlington early because we want to be in line for Cowboys tickets.

Yes. So 710 first pitch I'll have the on deck show for you at 6 o'clock You will? Yes Oh my gosh So I will have done two on decks this week in two tenth innings Yes

You will have done two this week Did I? Okay I think so Oh yeah Dan will have done one or two Clinton zero Salisbury zero She's gonna do this every day And well Wax is on vacation so he can't do any

Yeah When he comes back he'll do zero I'm gonna start to plot in a vacay stay here. I've only been out like two. Isn't it working with me a vacation? Woo! From the rest of your life?

Can anybody tell me what is the, what is the opposite of a vacation? Laberson? Yeah, that one. Troubling? It's fine, man. I enjoy working with you every day. All right, it's good to hear.

All right. The voice of Houston sports, Matt Thomas. I'm trying. 713-213-2-5-799. 7-1-3-212-5-79. If you want to join us on Twitter, it's at SportsMT, at Sports Review. We do have,

I'm sorry, he's come up at 1130. We go wake the strippers up at 12. I have like a fever blister on my tongue. It hurts. Okay. Do a rinse with salt water at night. Is that that we'll take care of? It's cleaning out, yeah. It's actually not in my tongue. It's on my gum, and it really hurt. Just do it in your whole mouth. I feel like I'm talking

with cotton in my mouth. It should be it'll clear. Well, I'm not a doctor, but it should clear up in a couple days if you just rinse with salt water. Well, thank you for that. A little hot water, a little salt. But salt water is gross, though. All right, well, don't do it. I'm just trying to help you.

Can I use like an ambassol or something like that? Sure. All right, just trying to figure something else out. All right, what else we got going on? We got Bryce Matthews making his debut. What? This show is great. I mean, it's not, I mean, what's anything goes?

No, I know. Bryce Matthews, how are we feeling? How concerned are you about his road home splits and his whiff, extremely high whiff rates? I will just go off of this, and this is just a not even educated guess. It's just a pure guess on my part that this is not what the Astros wanted to do. No. Let's also say that, I mean, I'm talking about the negatives. We have to talk about the positive.

He's got great power and a lot of speed as well. So, yeah, he unfortunately has been swinging and missing a lot. But if he gets a hold of the one, is going to go a long way. Which is, I feel like we've said that about all these young prospects that the Astros have been bringing up. Or not even some of them, not even young. But like the Zach DeZenzo. What happened to that guy? Cabbage? Trey Cabbage?

Where's Trey Cabbage these days? That's a great question. You had him at 20 home runs. No, I was kidding. It was seven. And I think you got the two? I was waiting for you to challenge me, but he's in Japan. Well, how about this?

And it wouldn't take very long to figure it out. Who was the last prospect called up that we were generally speaking anxious and or excited to see? Do we have to go back to Yoron in 19 and Tucker in 19? I mean, Jeremy Pena, Jeremy Pena was on some top hundred lists and we were intrigued by him. Were we fired up for Spencer Arigetti?

I would say yes, but I don't think he was like super hotly anticipated. Okay. Yeah, that's probably true. We had heard about him, though. We talked about him, I think, did we interview him at Springtime?

I have, yeah. It was, oh, you know, me and Dan were there, and he was kind of, there was some camp buzz for him. Yeah. And I first heard of him

from actually Lance McCullors, who we had him on a, um, on one of the fan fest interviews a couple of years ago, and he was like, watch out for this kid, Arrogatti. His stuff is nasty.

Yeah, so, so maybe that's the closest thing we've gotten to a, I don't, I'm gonna go, look, I don't think Erigeti was like a top 100 guy, but that doesn't necessarily matter. Forgetting about the top 100.

How about, who was the last, Astro callup that we were Oh, I'll give you who it was Well, I mean, does Cam Smith even count? I don't think Cam Smith counts. Yeah, because they all kind of got together real quick.

Can I say Joey Loporffito maybe? We weren't excited by Jake Myers. Yes. Yeah, but there wasn't like, you know, we weren't parading in the streets or Joey Loporffito. Like, going back seven or eight years when George Springer was called up. It was a big freaking deal.

When Carl's Correa got called up, middle of the season, it was a huge. Yeah, it hasn't been anything like that since basically Kyle Tucker and Yordon Alvarez, I would say. To that level. And that kind of shows you what I think is what Dana Brown has been called for. He needs to replenish the system. So when these guys get brought up, no disrespect to the guys that have been brought up this year. But it's, oh, who is this again?

As compared to, oh, wow. Bryce Matthews may be an O'wow guy ultimately but he is the closest thing we've had I mean he's a top 100 MLB prospect And we don't say it very often We don't Don't say it ever really

Jacob Melton we weren't really like all over the moon No we had heard positive things about Jacob Melvin but it wasn't like when it happened It was oh batting down the hatches Here comes your future 15 year 35 home run guy Is he doing all right by the way Lord won from him

Yeah But he was unfortunately off injured even at the mountain lake level. Dude, yeah. These injuries have been crazy. Just too many. Hey, Matt, I want to stop. But you were talking about your, we just had a doctorate come and call me about it. But he says you shouldn't be doing, you should be doing salt water.

But in a bottle water, this is exactly the information so you can know real quick. Bottle water. Uh-huh. Third in the coffee cup. Heated up for a minute in the microwave. Huh. You want to put a third a teaspoon of salt, and then you want to put another, like, a teaspoon or like a third of hydroproxide and rinse and repeat day after day, and it should clear up anything. And that's what he was saying.

Like, is that doctorate and sports medicine and all this stuff. So I need you to not, I need you listen and take care of yourself. Yeah, Matt. So let me explain where it is. I figured it out now, as you were explaining it. By the way, thank you to that doctor that just called. It is a sore in the lower left part of my gum. Hmm.

Okay. Like I can lick it right now. All right. That's nasty. Nobody wants to hear that. Is it hard? Is it hard? What?

No. Like, Matt, I'm talking to you, not Ross. Is it hard or is it soft, Matt? I wouldn't say it's hard. Okay, yeah. Definitely just follow what he said, because that just happened to me with my wisdom, too. But definitely it's when it's just and rich it out. Don't use anything else.

Yeah, it's not a growth. It's just a sore gum. 11, 11. I can't say that is his fault. Why are you timing things here? He's asking about it if it's hard in your mouth. Well, I'm looking at right now and I'm not considered hard. But it hurts.

Oh my God. Okay, yeah, if it hurts, you definitely should. Definitely do something. And my dulcet tones are being impeded by it. All right, stop licking it. I'm going to make you some salt water right now. No. Please.

But I don't want salt water all over my mouth. I just want it in the sore area You got to rinse it You got a gargle You got a gargle You look at it during the break No I'm not I'm going to do that

No I'm gonna throw up It's not like an abscess or anything Be a good friend, Ross Yeah be a good friend Ross I'm not a medical doctor I don't know what I'm gonna see What am I supposed to be looking for I got rando doctors calling me

And you won't even take a look at my mouth Yeah but what are gonna do If it's a gangrenous I don't know what color it's supposed to be Oh stop Wash your hands Oh my girl God, I'm turning my mind.

I'm out of here. I am out of here. You know, it's on the inside part of my gum. That's why it hurts, because I'm looking at it and it gets in the inside. I wish I could see Ross's face. Thank God I can keep doing the show, though. 1113. Do you need to apologize to someone or something? I'm not apologizing anybody. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-2-1-2-1-2-7-9.

It's and anything goes Friday. Astros-Rangers. Does the Silver Boots series mean anything to you. I want to know. 713212-5-7-0. 116. Hey, I'm here on Sports Talk 790. It is the sore-mouth show with Ross with you until 2 o'clock.

Phone lines open at 7-13-212-5-790. 7-13-212-5-7-90. Hopefully the medical tips are pouring in. Actually, I've got a brand-new Twitter follower. Okay. His name is Matt Thomas. It's not a... It's not the NBA player?

No, he's a writer who lives in Yorkshire, Great Britain. Yorkshire. His name is Matt Thomas, and his Twitter account is at M. Thomas writes. He is a sports writer historian. He's a member of the Royal Historical Society. Oh, wow. He also talks about Angels baseball and British baseball history. Hmm.

Odd combination right there. British baseball history? Yeah. Oh, he just sent me a DM too. Uh-oh, he wants you on the show. No, he was asking about a rumor about a certain owner, I know, buying an English soccer club team. Huh.

Hmm, the things you know. Oh, he's hitting you up for sources? I don't have soups. I don't have sauces. Can you tell me about the football club? Sorry. As they don't stereotype on this show, guys. I'd rather talk about my sore gums in soccer.

I'd rather not. I'd rather that not come up ever, ever again. I just, I don't know. I just get bodily. You get a squeamist? Yes. That is the word. Okay.

I don't watch those shows where they do surgeries. I don't want to hear about people licking sores. A great example of what you just said. That pimple popper show is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life. If you want to torture me and get any sort of, put that on and then pry my eyes open, I'll tell you anything you want to know. You want to torture me, put on some people doing YouTube shows that are, should not be mainstreaming. media. That's torture. I kind of knew you were going to say that.

You did not. Once you said, you want to torture me, I was like, he's not going to say that, and he did. And then gets credentials to sporting events. 1118 on Sports Talk 790.

713-212-5-7. And anything goes Friday. I wouldn't say those things Monday of you Thursday. Oh, yeah, you sure wouldn't. It is anything goes Friday, Matt. Anything goes, including you getting DM'd by a guy with your exact same name and asking you. I got another one for you.

And I'm not even going to respond to this person. This person, follow me on Twitter. Okay. And follow me on Instagram and send me direct messages on both. All right. He is a guy that wanted me to have him on this show to talk about how you can buy an athlete and what do they call it?

It's like a stock. Like a 19-year-old kid is a phenom and you can buy 5% of this kid. And then if this kid gets a big contract, makes $25, $30 million, you'll be getting a percentage of that back because you bought into the stock of this particular kid. Wasn't there a thing where Arian Foster was doing that? It was a website? Well, it wasn't there somebody from the Padres that was suing to get that money back

from somebody that people were buying into his Oh, Fernando Tatis Jr. made a deal with somebody for an upfront advance on money for a percentage of his lifetime earnings. Correct. But that's, I mean, that sounds like it. Yeah, first of all, it's kind of exploitive. But also, he signed the deal.

But I don't know. They were trying to, yeah, they were countersuing or there's a suit or a counter suit or both. I can't remember exactly what. And again, what I'm going to do is not even respond to the dude because I don't even want to think, he thinks I'm interested in him at all.

Okay. Let me see if I can find exactly what his, what his Twitter handle is here. Matter of fact, he may have unfollowed me, which is actually good. Oh, here it is. He's co-founder of a company. It says, empowering fans to invest in the potential future earnings of professional athletes. That feels like a racket. Yeah.

I'm going to stay away. That's a stay away for me. Yeah, it's like in 2025, when are we going to start? start asking ourselves variety of questions. Like I get 10 spam calls per day. And they want to sell me solar. They want to sell me life insurance. They want to help if they're asking if I have Medicare A and Medicare B,

which I don't even know what that old things are. Extended warranty on your car. I mean, and I know that they're probably calling 100,000 people a day. But maybe if they're getting one gullible person to buy it, that maybe it's all worth it. Yeah, I guess. Are we as a society? Somebody's getting scammed, otherwise we wouldn't be trying to get scammed a thousand times a day. These scammers are making money.

And it's generally off old people. And unfortunately, people who have Alzheimer's and other, those types of cognitive issues. But if you have that, do you? And again, I don't know these things. I don't know anybody's ever been scammed like this. But if you have those type of issues, does it then lend yourself to being gullible to say, hold on, let me go get you my credit card. So I can give it to you?

Yes. Wow, that's terrible. That's actually terrible. People will call people and tell them that their daughter or son or granddaughter or whatever has been jailed and they need to send money to bail them out. And they'll use like AI videos that kind of sounds like their daughter saying, please bail me out. It's crazy, man. And to me, AI is going to make things much more difficult. Yes.

Yeah, that's why I say scammers are the scum of the earth. Yes. And that's why when they call my phone, I swear, though, I had a great one today. Guy calls me, I'm some way to work. and I always turn my spam risk on because I want to make sure I get those calls and he's talking to me about life insurance.

And I said to the guy, let's just cut to the chase. Let me give you my credit card number and I want to buy your highest policy and he goes, that's not necessary. I said, why is he Irish?

Because he was a scammer from Ireland? He was a scammer from Ireland. Okay. And so I said, hold on, let me give you my number. And he says, okay, what is it? And I said, now I started soaring at him for 10 seconds in a row. You said it's 1,800 bleep you.

No, I went right to the F bombs. Okay. I dropped 25 F bombs in front and he hung up on me. 25 consecutive? Just boom, boom, boom, boom. I think I said FUB, FUB, suck a B and all that. I mean, I got everything off. He didn't hang up?

He did, eventually. But I felt really good. Oh, well, you know what? That should have been. It is a quirky thing. I do enjoy trolling spam callers and then dropping violence amounts of course language on them. Yeah. We've had a wrong course.

I've trolled callers. I mean, spam collars for sure as well. But I don't think I've dropped 10 F bombs. Oh, I was good this morning. Because you know when I get into traffic on 610, it just makes me want to swear. Okay. By way, we're quick on the NFL before we get to our I'm sorry this week. Did you see that the commanders are going to have a new alternative jersey?

No, I did not. Yeah, that looks identical to what they wore when they were the Redskins. The only thing that is different is you don't have the Redskin on the helmet, and you have the W instead. Okay, so they're doing throwbacks, but with not the logo. Yeah, and there has been quite a bit of chatter of maybe trying to rename the Redskins, go back to the term Redskins. So my initial thought on this is that's probably not a good idea.

It feels like to me that of all the names that have been discussed over the years that people have changed, that that's probably the most. That's the worst one of the group. But there is enough. If we did Washington DVC Sports Radio, I bet you could get a 5149 percentage of that. I have no idea what the percentages are. It's the name of a football team, folks. I mean, commanders is fine.

It's about winning on the field. Pro Football Talk says today that it sounds like to me that they're going to probably keep the name commanders. Okay. But there is enough. I would be shocked. You know what, I'm going to put my name on it. They ain't going back. Yeah, I don't think.

Yeah. I mean, come on. No, it's not happening. No way. I didn't personally, this is just me being. Is Dan Snyder floating this story? Yeah. He thought he got moved, pushed out.

I didn't think the Indians or Braves or Seminole or. or Warriors was garnishing of that. I mean, the Redskins to me was pretty obvious. But again, I don't live in that world. I just thought it was interesting that there is enough people, at least in the new ownership group of the commanders that have said, you know what? If we can tie the past in some way, let's try to do it.

And that's exactly what they're doing. Is that there's now a huge push for them to go back to the uniforms they used to wear. You remember, you know, back when you had the hogs and you had Joe Thaisman and John Wiggins where you'd have the red pants and they, had the yellow trim down the jerseys. It looks just like the old redskins jersey. So, okay. Good for them.

All right. Now, we owe some people some apologies. I can't think of anything I need to apologize for. I'm going to tell you this. We met a lot of great folks yesterday at Telly and Brewing. Yes. We met a lot of you on Twitter. Met you socially in other places.

There is another radio show in the marketplace that will give you an opportunity to apologize for the things you've said and done this week. And we will not judge you. In fact, we will judge you if you do not call this show and say you're sorry. Okay. 713-212-5-790 is how you reach the show today. If you want to chime in, 7-13-212-5-7-90. You are ready to, and we will accept you calling this show and saying you're sorry. 7-1-3-212-5-790.

7-13-212-5-7-90. We here at the Matt Thomas show and Ross are a forgiving bunch. But you must take the first step. You must call 713-212-5-790 and say this. I'm sorry. So sorry. This is where you get to cleanse your palate.

All right. You get to get rid of that soreness in the back of your gums. Maybe that's what God's doing. He's like, you know what, Matt, I heard what you said about people this week. Yeah, you're getting punished. I gave you a sore. What all I say is, and it may be petty a f, it's just the truth every single time.

Okay. 713212-5-7-90. You've done something. You were rude? Mm-hmm. You were not thoughtful. Okay. You did not return a text from your mom.

Oh, uh-oh. Crap. Mm-hmm. There's about five of you that text with me that are. about to go on double secret probation. Really? Yeah. Again, the rule should be.

I think if I was to run the Federal Communications Commission, if you don't return a text within two hours of me sending it to you, you get fined. You get your phone locked. Jonathan, you never be able to use your phone because you are the king of 20-hour text returns. So if you were in the head of FCC, you would make everybody's phone get locked if they don't respond to your text message. Two hours.

Yeah, but sometimes you don't respond to me in two hours. When's the last time you texted me? Yeah, all this week. Ross texted the group chat and you didn't say anything. That's true. Group chats are not in that category. I think that's true. Okay, okay.

Yeah, I was showing y'all that my walk-up song was getting people turned and you didn't say anything either, Jonathan. That's okay. Well, Jonathan never says anything anyway. That's true. Bottom five. You're actually Jonathan's worst texter than you are. Kendrick Lamar's family ties was getting the people going in Frankfurt freaking Germany. So y'all need to apologize to me.

But I was the one saying it was a good walk-up song. Okay, good. Okay, I appreciate you. Matt was the one on you. That's fine. I'd like to apologize to Paul McCartney. Why? Because I don't think I want to go see him again.

Are you going to stay true to your word? You apologize to yourself. You said you were done. You spent 500 at the Dickies Arena. I did. Terrible seats. But I was actually more excited about hearing the Darius Ruckers going back on tour. Okay.

So I would say, I'm sorry to Paul. McCartney than I'm more anxious about maybe seeing Darius Rucker in concert than I am you, Paul McCartney. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, you should apologize. But I'll probably go see, try to go see both. Let me taste out. Are you going to stay true to your word? I didn't say true to my word with fantasy football.

So why are you blasting me? Oh, you're right. You're coming back? Are you in? Let's go. Let's go. You hear that G.O., I know you're listening. So I know C.J. Stroud is to stay away for you after we sell those offensive line rankings.

Not good. Not great. What are you got, Ross? I'm going to apologize to Lance McCuller's Jr. All right. Last week, I put out the How We Feeling tweet at SportsRV. You can follow me on all platforms at SportsRV. I'd appreciate it.

And I'm going to be honest, I wasn't feeling super confident that he was going to be able to pitch well at Dodger Stadium. I was wrong. He was a little bit somewhat shaky early on, but was getting out. And then by the end, he looked absolutely dialed in. And I'm hoping we get the same today. I'm sorry. Even though I wasn't off Lance McCullors Jr., I had some creeping doubts in the back of my mind, and I would like to apologize. Oh, sorry. I know this should be the easy one for Jonathan. He owes one asterone apology.

You know what you beat me too. I was the last. Coupe, ma'am. I'm sorry, cute. Oh, you guys are boys now? You're calling him Coupe? Look, can I call you coop? Look, if you're listening. I'm so sorry. And I, as an athlete, I know that guy in your head. Are you probably thinking about me every time you... He hasn't had a hit since you said it. I know.

I know. That's why every time. No, he's not thinking. Don't. No, he's not thinking about you at the plate. You know, I'm just like, he's talking about this interview. He's like, dang, the people want me to hit more. And he's out there.

Don't even think about it, man. I apologize. I didn't mean that. I'd like to apologize to the Thomas family. I slightly undercooked the fries yesterday at dinner. And to put it back in the oven to refry them. They returned a taste test? I did.

And I got a good one. You got a good one. But I didn't get, I didn't do a big enough taste test. and I can tell you there's nothing more unappealing than eating a 60% cooked french fry. You're not that.

So I put it back in. Maybe with a cookie. So I need to, I put it back in there for about seven, eight minutes and they were just great. That's great. I want to apologize to the fam for serving you

not a completely fully cooked french fry. Go tater tots next time. Tater tots, overrated. I'm sorry. I agree. what's overrated about them.

They're delicious. We did a dinner last night. I'm glad you brought this up. We did a six potato test. What does this even mean? Wait, I'm interested. Write this down. Y'all write this down.

All right, sure. Seriously, I don't want you to forget this because I'm going to wind up forgetting it. There are six different ways to eat a french fry or a potato alongside a sandwich, okay? I feel like there's even more, actually. It probably is, but here we go with the six we want. Okay. Shoe string. Okay.

Crinkle cut. Uh-huh. Steak fries. Okay. Waffle fries. Tater tots. Okay. Potato wedges.

Mm-hmm. And I had tater tots at number six. You didn't say curly fries. Oh, no, I didn't. Uh, I guess you couldn't get curly fries. Yeah, we didn't. It was just plain oversight. What about the natural cut?

The natural ones with, like, the skin on them. Those are my favorite. See, because that's how my mama used to make them. I'm not disagree with those are also sides. But of the six, we talked about that last night, I had Tater Tots at number six. I will put steak fries last. What? It's too much thick.

You're not getting the... You don't look at girthy fry? It's too thick and it can be soft in the middle. Yep, 1137. And you don't get the amount of surface area of crispiness as much crispiness as you could from a crinkle cut. Yeah. Or a tater top. Same thing.

Now, I like smaller potato wedges rather than the big ones for the same reason. Because if you get big old wedges or big old steak fries, and it's like you might as well be having a baked potato in the middle. You know what I'm saying? I like steak fries. No, I like them. I'm eating them. You put them in front me, I'm eating them.

I mean, I'll eat tater tots, too. But it's just, they're my least favorite of those six options. I'm going to put them. Yeah, I don't know where. Okay. But I don't have them last. You should have come to the house. We had a great debate about how we serve our fries.

Anybody stab anybody over? No, everybody good? They were just mad up at the undercut fries. I mean, with like a fork. No, nothing serious. All right, 713-212-570. Let's go to the phones. We met Bill and Katie yesterday.

He was hanging out with us. Oh, my gosh, it was crazy. He was wearing rice owl gear. Yeah, how weird was that? And then he was begging us for tickets. Bill, you begging for tickets? It's a surprise. That is, man, y'all wrong for that.

That is not true. Ross looking like food fighter dude In the way Food Fighter? Yeah man And Matt No, I'm not going to see what Matt looked like Been in a way

Hey, let me tell you something I'm a good looking white man Are you not Bill? No man, see no about Van Gundy from the back when he was on the floor Oh, stop When he was biting Lonzo morning's knee or whoever's knee it was

Holding on for dear life is what he was doing Exactly Anyway Ross, I'll apologize because you said I got you in trouble some years ago and I still don't remember what I did. Yes. So you had won. Oh, you know what? I'm going to tell you, Bill.

And you know I love you. No, so you, there was way back in the day, Jonathan, we used to handwrite winner sheets. Right. And so you couldn't win every 30 days. I was like, hey, Bill, you can't win. Bill used to win under Bill and then you'd use another name too, Bill, right? Your brother's

name, yeah. I hear you laughing. You know you're right. Dwayne. Dwayne, you're. Yeah, he would use his brother's name, Dwayne. And I was like, Bill, you've won in the last 30 days. I can't do this for you. And then so he came up here and was like, raw, he told the promotions director, Melissa Bresner, Matt, if you remember. Yeah, yeah.

He told her that I said that he could have the tickets even though he didn't win. It hadn't been 30 days. And I didn't say that. So then she came to me and was like, why did you tell this winner that? You can't tell him that. So I got in trouble because Bill lied. Man, I really don't. You know what?

I'm coming to this day. to apologize. Okay, God. You know what? I appreciate this, Bill. This was like 12 years ago, but I appreciate you. But then again, Matt, you owe me an apology. Four? You gave me one box a ticket? Who goes to a space

cowboy game? No, no, no, no. Those are good for four tickets apiece. Oh, okay, I didn't know that. So so you're sorry for not to read the rules. So say you're sorry, they're sorry. Get out of here. Exactly. That's back-to-back days, people about complaining about free stuff. What was there? It was, or was that two days ago?

Willa was upset about the weekend tickets. Like, hey, we got you in the stadium. He was in the nosebleeds. Hey, man, you want to just make your way down there. You can try. Yeah, we got you in the building. Don't complain. People are paying for those tickets in those sections, so they still have some value.

Right. I mean, let's just be honest. Live Nation isn't going to give us all a bunch of floor seats to give away. They're trying to sell those. No, but my daughter did thank me for her good cashier tickets yesterday. Okay, that's good. Well, that's because you know people. I do know people.

I know Kesha. How is Kesha? I don't know. Does she still say, woke up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy? Or has she changed those? No, she cut it out. Okay.

She changed it on. Yeah, Diddy can't be brought up anymore, period, right? No. It's like Candy Man. You can't say it. Because he got the five charges, three of them were not guilty. Two were guilty.

But he's still in prison right now. I think he's going to do 10 years, but then he'll probably, he'll probably be out in four or five, I guess. Yeah. So he's already served a bunch of time to begin with. And by the way, Dateline the Night has one of his girls on

there saying, I can't believe this happened. You know, like, you know, that post whatever, you know, trial, where you can actually talk. Post-trial interview. It's a shame. What's his most popular song? Oh, every

breath you take. That's the police. No, yeah, he ripped off sting. He did? Yeah. I'll be watching you. I'll be watching you. Oh, I know that song. That's actually, that's got, that's a jam unfortunately. It was, but everything that P. Diddy ever made was just ripped off from someone else.

I mean, all of his biggest hits, there was like, ripped off by David Bowie's Let's Dance, of course, producing a lot of the notorious BIG songs, using The Eyes of the Brothers and other stuff. So he's got not a creative bone in his body. Not really. All right, but he's a great hustler and businessman.

And probably not. I don't want to use the word great with P. Diddy. You know what I'm saying. Yeah. G.O.170. Gio, who do you want to apologize for, two? Hey, guys, first of all I want to say, great show, happy Friday. Same to you. Matt, the other day, we had to believe it or not on your foods that you may or may not like.

And the option of Sourcrowd came about. And I just want to apologize to you because I believe I said, because you're white, you like Sourcrow. Yes, correct. And that was just horrible of me to be stereotypical like that. So, Matt, Matt, Thomas, I apologize to that. Yeah, thank you, Gio. I appreciate that very much, even though you're right. No, clock.

Hey, you're telling me the only white people like sourcrow? I don't know. I can't answer that question. I like sourcrout. I'm not a white person. Jonathan, you're black. Do you like sourcrow? You know, I still, to this day, having looked at it, I don't know what that is. So when Jim said that, I was like, I was laughing. I didn't know what it was. All right. If you're black or Hispanic or Chinese. It's like pickled cabbage for people put it on hot dogs or brought worst or a, uh, a, uh, uh,

Funky. It's fermented. It's fermented. Pickled cabbage. You like this and not cherries? I know. I know. I'm sorry. The worst part is you're like, yeah, I think this is pretty normal. But that's okay. I'm not telling you know what? I'm sorry. You know what I'm sorry for saying that?

I've been tried it. I'm sorry. Whatever you like, you like, Matt. All right. So anybody non-white who likes Sourcrow, let us know. Come help that out. 713-212-5-790. 7-1-3. 2.12.5.7.19. 14. It's the Matt Thomas Show with Ross. One more segment of I'm Saurys are

up next. When you send the bat signal out and you want people that are black to call the show and say, have you ever had and liked Sourcrow? You find the Matt Thomas show with Ross.

Wait, before you get the colors, we obviously know Biscuit's black, but Tabari on the phones is black and Chinese. Oh, he's black and Chinese? Yeah, yeah. I believe Tabari, I believe is my Uber driver from yesterday. Let's find out. Taliya Brewing.

Tabari, did you take Ross to Talia Brewing yesterday? That's a negative, Matt. Oh, you did not? No, sir. I do drive for a living, but I don't drive Uber. And are you half different, Tabari? Are you half Chinese half black? Yes, sir, I am.

All right. And you like sourcrow. I do like sourcrow. That's what I'm talking about right there. The brothers do like sourcross. Yeah, we're a rainbow coalition of condiments on our hot dogs. Yes, sir. Tabar, do you put a ketchup on your hot dog?

I do. I am guilty of that. Oh, God, bless you. Oh, Tabar, I thought we were close. Matt, I have a question for you. Do you know the name Robesod? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We could have been brothers-in-law. I date her younger sister. Tricia. Oh, I know, Trisha. Yes. I know. How is she doing? If she's good, you're a local celebrity, man.

I said, I listen to my boy Matt on the show. Please tell Trisha I set my very best. Would you do that for me? I sure will. Love the show, fellas. Thank you very much. Thanks, Tabari. Trish and I used to work together at the old KSEV many, many years ago.

It's the world. And that could have been my brother-in-law. You never know. All right. What are we going with this? I don't know. You had Tabari the Uber driver. Yes.

And then that's Tabari who drives the Uber, but didn't take you to Talia yesterday. Yeah. Wow. Do you give him a good tip? Yes, I did, I think. Speaking of tips. This is a $20 ride. I gave him six.

Speaking of tips, I go to a restaurant in Kingwood. Okay. That is a walk-up place. Okay. Okay. Sorry. You order the, yeah. I'm trying to check my rides.

Focus. You walk up, you order. Mm-hmm. You put the credit card in. They turn the thing around and they want you to tip on top of that. Okay. Do you tip on a walk-up restaurant? Yes or no?

Okay. Now, here's the, let me finish here. Okay. They do bring the food to your table. Yes. And they do clean it up. But they do not. They do not, they do not check on you while you're eating your meal.

When you want to go get drinks, you got to get them yourself. When you have to go get more napkins, you have to get them yourself. If you want to get ketchup, you have to get it yourself. Okay. What is the proper rule for a walk-up place? Uh-oh, Jonathan, we've already argued about this. He's already, that you, all they're doing is bringing you your food and busing your food and busing your table.

That's it. I know I'm probably going to be the minority. I do 15%. God bless your heart. What I have done is I have given about, I would say, around 10%. I have a round to the nearest dollar. So if the bill is like 3483, I'll give $2.17. Okay.

I understand. And that's fine. I just, I don't know. All right. Service industry is a hard job. I think it's underpaid. I think it's also hard to make a living from that. I don't make a kind of money myself.

But I try to give a couple of extra bucks to those people. because I understand that those are hard and very important jobs. Okay. Jonathan, you are shaking your head. Defend yourself. No, I was going to say, how much percent? Zero. No, I was, I rounded up the same way as Matt does on those places.

Like, I'll give you that little extra like $2 or whatever, but I'm not going to, like, you just turn your screen around and not, you're not really helping me out, especially if I can get my own food, own drinks and stuff like that. Unless they help me out pick my food and stuff like that, if I like them, like, they're really cool. So, like that, I'll give them like a $5. The turn to screen is so important. personal. That's the thing I'm bothered by. See? I agree.

Okay. I understand. If you want to give zero or whatever, I mean... I don't give zero because I feel guilty. Okay. That's what they're trying to do. What I don't like... It does work. That's what I'm saying. I hate when they flip it around and then it's like the three default options are like 35, 25, 25, and 20... I'm like 23% and you're not going to serve me. That's a little much.

Now, I'm going to take this right now. And then we'll go back. We got biscuits, black guys going to talk about how much you like Sourkra. We got to get that in there. Or doesn't. Oh, he does. You don't call if you don't like it.

You don't like so? No. Okay. I will not tip concessionaires at the stadiums. Oh, I will get that. I will go very, I will go 10% there. You're talking about like you're at. Like when I went to Cynthia Woods to go see sticks,

I got two bottles of water for me and my son. They did the turnaround. Yeah. You handed me two bottles of water. That's what you were kind of supposed to do. Okay, so you signed up. I won't zero percent. I think I go lower.

I go like 10. You're talking about the penis guys at the game? Or like a couple of bucks. No, no, no. No, when you go to the concession of the stadiums, they flip on you there too. I understand tipping culture is way out of control. It was so great being in Asia and you don't tip on anything, but also their rooter over there. I'd rather take a root, no tip.

No, I was like, man, they don't give a bleep. I was trying to like cook this Korean barbecue with this. I was like flipping this pork belly. This lady like yank the tongs out of my hand. He's like, get out of my way. Let me do this. She was embarrassed by your performance. She was.

She was like all of us are. She's like, this guy's terrible. Uh-huh. All right. Biscuit, do you like Sourcrow? That would be a negative. What? What?

And let me say this. I'm sorry. Jabari, I'm sorry, but we're going to have to revoke your black card, my brother. Oh, we got one black guy revoke another guy's black card. Oh, geez. Oh, Lord. Oh, geez. Why can't we all get along, Biscuit?

Listen. there was sourcrout is right up there with pumpkin pie okay what what are you talking about pumpkin pie is America's dream sweet potato pie yeah that's the yeah that's heard of that I'm saying now I will say this Matt unless you're from Wisconsin that's the only time you're giving a pass on sourcrown there's no white guys in Wisconsin the middle black guys in Wisconsin everybody's white up there there's a few there's a few there's a few city called Milwaukee a city he called me Milwaukee.

There's a few brothers up there. As a fact, I got some cousins up there, Matt. So, you know, that's another. All right. But, yeah. No, man, Sourcrow. On your Brock or a hot dog or whatever, that would be a negative in the community.

All right. I'm going to have, you know what? We're going to have to get the tire breaker. We're going to have, when I get back from Rhode Island next week, we're going to go get some hot dogs after the show. Now, what can I go get a hot dog with Sourkeye? I don't even know where I can get one.

is a dog vino schnitzel i mean i can't i'm not bringing like a a roller up here i'm not going to bring a grow pan and cook dogs do they have uh do they have sourcrow at the maimsmonie myelin i don't believe they do oh you know what that's a no no no you probably get a specialty dog but those places are running on they're getting on a business oh i'm sorry you're charging $16 for two hot dogs what's the sourcrut on i can get a go i can get an eight pack and eight pack of buns for five by the way there's a guy and a guy a friend of the show that's in Colorado and he's eating in a place called the wood bar or wood earth or whatever it is they charge a 5% kitchen appreciation fee oh that's stout 5% is stout huh that's all even asking appreciation kitchen it says I'm looking he sent me a photo of his bill kitchen appreciation fee 5% it's it's man ooh that's stout I want to they shouldn't They should just raise the prices and pay their employees more. I agree.

Yes. It's like Dark Breast Airlines. Charging for the bags. Just charge us $20 more for the ticket. We'll never know. Let us have our free tickets. I mean, our free bags. Ridiculous.

That's this week's. I'm sorry. Getting squeezed, Maddie. So I don't know. I mean, I don't think I want to put out a Twitter account. Only for Black audience. Only, please. Do you like Sarah?

Great. Sourcrow. No, don't do that. You get canceled in five seconds. No, I don't need that. Actually, you know, you are... Oh, look at you trying to give me. Probably.

First of all, first of all, I should not be canceled by that. No, you shouldn't. Because it's really not... It's an honest curious question. No, you want to get canceled. No, I think you might get interaction with it, but I see where you're... I thought you said something else. I did too.

I was like, what did you say? Interaction, not an... I thought you said an interracial action. And I'm like, what? Oh, stop. That's not what I thought. Yikes. All right.

The news of noon. All the top sports news items of today. And we wake up the strippers. And you know what? Even though I got a sore gum, I'm going to go 20 seconds. You could use that one too. You know what I meant, right? Hey, man.

Let's wake the strippers up. After I tell you about Big City Wings, I don't know if Big City Wings has Sour or not. It's probably worth an ask. Chicken dogs now, right? Yeah, I'll say, Sam. You got some of the summer card off there? But you know what they do have?

They have amazing wings. They have awesome tenders. They have awesome burgers. They've got terrific salads, huge chicken sandwiches, and a menu that is just top shelf. Now, if you're going out tonight, let's say that you are going to go to the Astros game for a while, and you leave and you are still hungry,

you can get yourself a half-price appetizer after 9 o'clock tonight at any of the first. 14 big city wing locations. They have weekend specials all day long on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to tell you about what the big city wing specials are this weekend. 1204 in H-town. This is a Friday edition of the Matt Tobbush show at Ross on Sports Talk 790. 7-1-3212-5-790.

Any of anything goes Friday. If you listen to the first two hour of the show, we decided whether or not black men like Sourkraut. What else we decided? The Bryce Matthews is an astro debut. Maybe tonight. It is part of the News at Noon. And we present to you the gift for Nielsen

of local Houston sports news headlines. I'm backup quarterback. Former Channel 11 sports anchor. Of course. It's Ross Villarreal. Thank you, Matt. Yes, we've got a lot going on on the news at noon headlined by Astros number one prospect and number 98 on the recent re-release of MLB Pipelines,

top 100 prospect list. Bryce Matthews coming up to the big league club. We are not sure exactly what the corresponding move is going to be. Probably Jake Myers to the IL, but then you would also need somebody. He was not on the 40 man, I don't believe. Bryce Matthews was. So some other move is going to have to be made, maybe transitioning something. somebody to the 60-day I-I-L, I don't know.

But Bryce Matthews, coming up to the big league club, and we're guessing is going to be in the lineup for the Houston Astros tonight? No, I would presume so, but it would not be a foregone conclusion. Also, some are calling tonight's game against the Texas Rangers, a must-win game. Lance McCullors Jr. on the hill versus Jack Leiter. Astros at a minus 125, Texas at a plus 105.

Total on this one, Matt? Eight and a half. Now, the reason why, if you didn't catch a show earlier, why it's a must-win game, is because the Rangers did not land into Houston until about 435 this morning. So you know by the time they unload the bags, get on the buses, go to the hotel, settle down,

get their bags. We're talking about 6.6.15 in the morning. Let me tell you, friends, it's happening. It's a must win, need to win. Is it a guaranteed win? No, but it's a must win Friday night. And you're going to hear it right here on Sports Talk 790 with me and the On Deck Show at 6 o'clock. Well, they could lose today and then win with Framber and Hunter Brown on Saturday and Sunday and nobody will care.

So I'm going to say it's not a must win game. I'll be bragging with you on this win Friday on Monday show. I hope they win. I want them to win. I wouldn't want them to lose just because you'd be wrong. That would be, I wouldn't ever root against you to be. And you're probably going to replay it back on the show on Monday. I would never root against you being right. Mm-hmm. Continue on.

All right, Matt, elsewhere. And the news at noon, Jalen Williams, the third OKC Thunder centerpiece. Yeah, fair. To get a giant extension in this off season after, of course, Shea Gilgis Alexander and Chet Holmgren, a max rookie extension for Jalen Williams. Five years. Oh God.

Oh, God. Why can I find this? It's not opening on the story I had. A lot of money for Jaylon Williams. Five years. When are the Oklahoma City Thunder going to be able to pay all these players? Well, they're going to have three players that they have spent over $200 million on in contracts. Yeah, worth up to $287 million.

That's what I thought it was, but I didn't want to say. wrong. Okay, there you go. So it sounds like to me it's three really highly compensated players. They already got Isaiah Hartnstein who's highly compensated. That's a fourth. And then you'll have 10 or 11 guys making, you know, mid-level exception kind of money. Yeah, they locked up 26-year-old

MVP, 24-year-old Jalen Williams, and 23-year-old Chet Holmgren. Who I saw on the Twitterverse has been working out with one Kevin Durant. Who has? Chet Holmgren. No. That cannot be true. Why not?

We have to dethrone them. We have to cut the dragon down. So they can't work together at all. Correct. Okay. I am firmly against this. I will discuss this with Kevin Winnie's eventually on our show. Also today, Matt, the release of the 2025 film, just simply known as Superman, is out today.

Do you plan on watching it this weekend? My sons went and saw it last night. Oh, they did? Midnight showing? Yeah, because I was asleep when they got home. I have no idea if they liked it or. not. Okay. Well, let's get the reviews. I have plans to see it on Tuesday. I will text my boys. I have priced Tuesday for the win. What kind of stars do you want to go? One to five on that?

For sure. Sure. Okay. Well, see, now this is weird. You know what? I don't get the start. That's and I just don't get it. Roger Ebert and the boys back in the days would just do four stars. Then some people go five. When they do thumbs up or thumbs down, would they know? They would do thumbs up, thumbs down, but they also give in their articles stars up to four. Okay. So what is a, I think a good scale is five. One to ten. Okay.

That's just, that's just stars doubled. Okay. And you can throw in halves. I will text the boys right now. You continue on. Okay. And you can do like three and three quarter stars, like star search back in the day. All right.

And now that's the news, who's it new? And it's time for a break. Well, okay. I'm going to text the boys. Okay. And this will be one is 25 and one is 21. Okay. No, I'll always pay.

22. How many of the older Superman movies? have they seen? Probably not. There's no chance to saw anything with Christopher Reeve. Okay. But the Man of Steel with Henry Cavill? Probably so.

Yeah. Caveville, Cavill? I don't know. It's fine. All right. We've got more phone calls to get to. Remember, it's an anything goes Friday here on the show. Yes.

We've also got Bryce Matthews, you mentioned. We have Astros, Rangers, Silver Boot, and we have non-flora stories at 1.30 today coming up on the show. Where is your non-flora story from? Yeah, that would be from outside of the state of Florida. And today's hell you or not is all things. about the Superman series or just trivia about Superman comics, series, films, anything Superman-related? Okay, I would like you to go back. An early crush of mine was Margot Kidder, 1980, 81.

Just get a glimpse of her and say, if you were nine years old, would you have appreciated her? She was the lowest lane in the Margo in the Superman movies. What about Terry Hatcher in the series? Big fan. real and spectacular. Some have said. Yes. And Desperate Housewives just one glorious woman after the other in that show.

And she was one of the stars. Yes, she was. All right. Did check in at the house with the boys that went to the late night screening of Superman? One gave it an eight. One gave it a six and a half. And I asked why the six and a half. And they said there was too much politics in the message of the movie.

So there you go. Too much politics. Uh-huh. That's all I'll say. So there you go. Eight and a six and a half. Who's playing lowest line? Do we know?

I don't know who she is. Yeah. Terry Hatcher's the greatest lowest lane of all time, right? I guess. I don't know. You know that Dean Kane and Ryan Hollins are friends? No, I didn't know that. Mm-hmm. So I'm not talking out of school here.

We went to dinner in Indianapolis. Okay. And we were talking about just crushes of people. And somebody in the group said that Dean Crank-Cain was kind of a crush. And Ryan's like, oh, really? Goes to his phone, hits video. Dean Cain's on the phone with us. We talked to him for about 10 minutes.

It wasn't my crush, obviously. Okay. Hmm. Wow, that's crazy. Ryan knows everybody. I don't know if it's the L.A. connection or what it is, he knows everybody. He does.

If I said, can you get me George Clooney on the phone? It could probably take him about 30 minutes. Hmm, okay. So why don't you talk to him? I don't need to talk to George.

What do you have to say to George? We didn't talk to George. What would you say to George? Hi, George. I loved you on the facts of life. He was on the facts of life? Yeah, one of the last seasons. I didn't know that.

And I loved E.R. You did love E.R. And I loved Oceans 11. And I loved the movie. What about 12 and 13? 12, not so much 13. I did like and what else the movie that he was up in the air

the movie when he was a frequent flyer and he was in charge of going to come flying to cities and firing people. What about oh brother where that art though? Never saw it I'd be happy that I watch up in the air be happy with me on that at least please thank you the Cohen brothers are

Kevin in Pearland at 1223 on the Matt Thomas show Ross Kevin good afternoon Good afternoon Matt Yeah, you of age class in 92, also Ross's favorite listener, pining for him to finally get a picture on the website. I'm up there. Thank you, Kevin. Your hard work paid off. Yes, and I didn't even have to pine for you to get your name associated with the show. Ross did, though, Ross Pined. He did. Oh, you know. He did plenty of Pined. I mean, I've only been in the studio for six years.

Of course, yeah. Jesus. No, he did. You know, well, you know, 790 came to their smarts and figure, man. we better do something. No, nothing wouldn't have happened if I wouldn't have brought it up, but that's all right. Okay. Well, let me, let me, two things, two things. So, number one, so my mom's 91. She comes over to see me every Sunday, you know, to have a little visit.

And, you know, we watch shows. Mostly we try to watch, you know, sports. She's a big sports fan. And, you know, I always watch playoffs and all that. But when it's kind of a slow period, kind of like it is now, you know, I try to find stuff streaming, you know, because she don't have that, of course. she got the dial-up. And so...

She has dial-up? Are you serious? No, she doesn't even have the internet, man. They don't... Do they even have dial-up anymore? I don't think so. I used to do commercials for one of the most recognizable dial-ups in the city. And they went under.

Well, so did every other dial-up, but that's here nor there. Continue on. Yes. And the reason she comes over here is because I got a loser brother that lives with her for last 40 years, but as you say, that's neither here nor there. So, anyway, so it's... It's challenging to find a show to watch together that doesn't have a bunch of risque, you know, stuff because you don't want to watch that with your mom sitting next to you, you know what I'm saying. And so to go off of what y'all were saying earlier about getting scanned, you all need to watch or if you have an older relative or something, you need to watch a show called Phelma.

It's on Hulu, and it's about an old lady that gets scanned with the AI, and it's just great. it really hits home and that's what would really be good for older people to watch. Olds, it's on Hulu. It's called Thelma last year released. It's a film or a show? Thelma. It's a movie or a show? No, no, no.

It's a TV or a show? It's a movie. It's just a movie. Like an hour and a half. It's not crazy long series or anything. And then secondly, the Thunder, man, that's still the supersonics to me. And we hate those guys. And I don't think that Chet Holmgren is going to help.

Kevin Durant get better. If anything, it's going to be the other way around, and why do we want to help them get better? No, thank you. I don't like Derek McKee catching a ball over Allen level and, you know, putting it up for the win, the series win. I hate

the Supersonics. So no, thank you. And I don't think you were talking about when you're going to talk to Kevin later about this thing. I don't think you were talking about talking to me. Probably Durant. And that's all I have. Thank you. guys love you thank you kevin appreciate thank you kevin anything goes

Friday anything goes Friday you gonna watch Thelma probably not it's 98% fresh I'd never heard of it what's read the preview for it or the you would like the synopsis sure why not a 93 year old woman

Thelma Post gets dup by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what is hers okay Does anybody use dial-up anymore? No, I don't think so.

I don't think it's even possible to use dial. I think the worst you can have is DSL. All right. What? 1227. It is the Matt Thomas Show, Sports Talk 790. I haven't heard that phrase in quite a while. Digital subscriber line. What are you talking about?

All right. So the Astros are playing the Rangers. And it's a Silver Boot series. And it's time to bury the Rangers. sweep the series. Sweep the series. Yeah. First of all,

they're winning tonight because the Rangers are tired. Okay. You know what we should do? We should start... DeGrom and Evaldi go in the next two days. Should we try to prank call some Ranger rooms? No.

You can do that. I'd probably get in trouble. That's not very sportsman. I mean, this... Yeah, I would say it's important to get this one. Jack Leiter's been giving up some runs lately. Because tomorrow is Fromber and de Grom.

That's a coin flip. And then Evaldi and Hunter is kind of is a coin flip, too. Special with Hunter coming off of Leipur, start his last time out. Yeah. What do you think about the ESAC priorities get named to the All-Star team? That's great. Yeah, we hadn't mentioned that. Yeah. Should have been mentioning the news at noon.

Well, that was a day and a half ago. That's fine. Okay, that's true. You would have been probably more appropriate yesterday as news in noon, but you weren't ready for that either. I had too many round-trip flights. That's right. 7-13-212-5-790. 7-1-3-2-1-7-90.

We've got non-flora stories at 130. All things about Superman coming up today at 150. Speaking of being duped, somebody sent me an email of an NFL player being duped. Hmm, we'll tell you about that next. It isn't anything goes Friday, 713-212-5790. Thanks to Brian, listening to us in College Station, sent me this note about, we're talking about scams. Minnesota Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner. Does this ring a bell to you who this is?

I remember Dallas Turner. Played at the SEC. Academic and Athletic Juggard on Alabama. Okay. Second year player, he lost $240,000. Not on buying an expensive car, not playing blackjack, not on a golf game, but on a banking fraud scheme. Okay. Apparently, the investigation has identified quote unquote several suspects.

although only about $2,500 of that stolen money has been recovered. Wow. Turner reached out to Minneapolis police to say back in April he got a call from someone who was impersonating a banker at J.P. Morgan Chase. Okay. The caller told, let me read this too verbatim. The caller claimed that someone was impersonating Turner's identity. at a Chase Bank branch in Arizona.

Okay. And then that fake caller said, Hey, Mr. Turner, you need to wire money to two separate LLCs to avoid the theft attempt. So what did Turner do? He transferred $120,000 each of the two LLCs identified by the caller. I'm confused, Maddie.

So somebody calls him, they are a fraudster. They call him and say, hey, somebody's trying to commit fraud. Correct. On you. On you in Arizona. And, Arizona says, what can I do to stop this? And they said, send these two LLCs $120,000 each. Huh.

So it's like a scamception. It's a scam within a scam. It's got like it's got, it's a layered scam. Yeah. What did, I'm just curious. I just, yeah, I don't know what sending money to these places would do. I don't know. I guess take the money out of one account and put it in two other accounts that maybe Turner thought would be safer because the Chase banker told them it would be safer.

Yeah. Hmm. To two separate to sub. Now, I am a member of J.P. Morgan Chase myself. Okay. If there is anything even remotely sketchy, I get text and emails. And I mean Rossi, plenty of them. Yes. Now, I don't know if this, if Mr. Turner got that. I'm presuming no, because this was all a made up thing.

But you are never going to convince me to give out $20 to a transfer over a phone, much less 120. I mean, why didn't the light bulb go off? I don't know. Probably when he hung up. He's like, wait a second. and what would make him think sending two large sums of money to two other LLCs that were not associated with the bank would make any sense 120,000 to each of them. Island food truck LLC and CNNLF LLC, whatever that means. Wait a mean, he sent it to a food truck? It says island food truck LLC.

This is what I'm doing. Hello, this is Gregory Schneider with Chase Bank, and we believe your account is being taken advantage of and then Payton Dalles Turner is like, okay. what do I need to do, man? I need you to send $120,000 this food truck to protect your money. What? I mean, Dallas, you're stupid.

And unfortunately, I would, you never should call somebody stupid you're not wanted to say it to their face. A gullible. I'll use that term. 22, yeah, 22 years old, gullible. I mean, I feel bad for the guy because I don't think it was bad, but my God. Now, granted, he is in the second year of, contract that's paying him $15.76 million.

So if, I mean, that's still a decent chunk of change. He got an eight point. That's a Lambo, Maddie. Come on now. Why don't? He's got plenty of cars. Okay. He received $8.28 million signing bonus as part of that 15.

And his first year payments salary was $750,000. So obviously, he's not going to not, he'll be able to pay him. his bills, whatever they may be, but, you know, a scam is a scam. So, I mean, while I feel bad for him, yeah, maybe do stupid, it's not the term I would use. Extremely gullible. Oh, man. That's terrible. It'd be like, I would like all of you to donate and become stockholders and remote for you.

But you know, it's not a real company. Thank you, Matt. You should start it. You should call up Dallas Turner. Oh, Dallas. I got this great investment. I get this a great investment idea. We're going to create a company that's going to go to

mid-restriottes and program their TVs for them in advance. Maybe I can get Dahl's Turner to kick in. Although my guess is he's also wised up in the situation. I hope so. They need to talk about this at the rookie symposium. Oh, I mean, if Dallas Turner doesn't get invited, you know what, he needs to go tell the story. Because, I mean, this is going to, I would say probably going to happen again.

you got a bunch of naive people out there. I'm sure it's been tried before, yeah. There's another story about a Dolphins DB scammed out of 2.58 million. What? Doing what? In a money laundering scheme. Now, there have been lots of people in this world that have been involved in invest in us and the money goes away. That does happen. It was his financial advisor.

Yeah, I mean, that's not uncommon. And that happened to Vince Young. It happened to a bunch of other people. But to have a fake chase bank without you calling the bank back and saying, I need to speak to this particular person, what's going on? I mean, it feels like to me that he just took the caller's word for gospel and didn't do any sort of background checking at all. Especially when one of the wired transfer is to a food truck? Yeah, maybe I don't know if it said like food truck LLC. I wonder, yeah, that's the part I need more details on.

what was the how did the scammer convince him to send $120,000 to two different companies to prevent him from being scammed? And why that doesn't make sense? And Chase Chase would never ask you as a bank to move money around to prevent this to prevent. Yeah. What Chase would do was they'd say we here at Chase know what's going down and we're going to make sure that your money stays right where it needs to be. They don't need it. They don't need you to shuffle funds. to prevent fraud. They're there to stop the fraud before it becomes a shuffle of the money. I just thought it was just a, boy, what a weird, weird story.

What if Gordy will bring that up on Lockdowne SEC this week? Probably since it was an Alabama player. Oh, that's right, because he does hate Alabama. Can you really do Lockton, SEC if you hate one of the teams in the league? Yes. I guess he's been doing it. Make sure catch him in four or five different small markets and throughout the southeast today. He's at Lafayette.

He's on Memphis. Memphis? What was the other one? Going to Atlanta for the SEC. Something else in Lise, Anna. Yeah, it's big. It's big. The Shreveportab Sports Radio?

I have no idea. Could you imagine hosting a three-hour hiring? I don't think so. Okay. What would you talk about? What would be your topic here today? I don't know. Is it more Cowboys or Saints there?

Saints. Okay. There's no Saints news. There's no Cowboys news. Your mouth rush more of Cowboys linebackers. The closest baseball team is probably the Rangers. You're such a hurry to leave this show. Go run Creeford Sports leader.

It's not in a hurry, Matt. All right, good. Don't leave me. Nobody contacts me back. You're stuck. You've been trying, though. 1242 on Sports Talk 790. It is the bad topic show with Ross, and it's an anything goes Friday. And like I said, with the Astros not playing.

By the a way, the Astros have made it official that Bryce Matthews is donning an astro gear. They have not announced a corresponding move, but they've got to take somebody up the 40-man. Is there anybody that needs to go to the 60? Erigetti's already been moved to the 60, I think. Yordon? Yordons been moved to the 60, I think. I don't know. Take a look.

We can play guess who's being knocked off the 40-man. Let me tell you, that's a tough life. We're trying to live that life. 713-212-5-7-90. And anything goes Friday here on the Matt Thomas show with a word. Coming up at 1.30, we will have our non-flora stories. Mine

this week, gentlemen, will come to you from, oh, you know what, I got rid of it. It's involving a surgery. An uncomfortable surgery. That'll be non-flora coming up at 1.30. I'm already uncomfortable. I'm just happy we found a black guy

that likes Sarkraught. Who was it? Our guy that was Tabari. Tabari. Tabari. Half Chinese and half black. Well, Biscuit has,

this is... Biscuit's like, no. My name is Paul. This is between y'all, but Biscuit says his cards revoked. I don't know. I'm out of that.

I don't think of... Jonathan, will you go eat some star cart this weekend? You know, once I eat, I'll be I'm going to go out my way to go get it. But, you know,

do you like kind of like funky fermented things? It's not disgusting. It's not like I'm not asking you to go eat like, crickets. I mean, you can go with the grocery and readily get it available. That's why I'm staying out of it because I haven't tried it yet, so that's why I've got to wait.

Okay. With some spicy brown mustard on a dog. Let me tell you. That's like German style. If there was a place that wanted to do an M.T. dog, it would be spicy mustard, relish, onions, and sourcrap.

Spicy mustard, relish, onions, sourcrop. That's an M.T. Dog. We call it the gacinator. Call it. Yeah. Call it blow if you wanted to. Call it the hot air balloon.

Didn't you have, you had a meal named after you had a place. What happened? The major market burger is over at three Bs in Kingwood. And then at Big City Wings, you can sit at the Matt Thomas booth. Okay. People love it. What's on the major market burger? I forget. Well, I think they got rid of it, actually.

Because I, look, Robert's a good friend of mine. And he's like, this isn't sound grass. That doesn't sound great. When I was living in Utah, they like to put meat on meat. You know how you'll have bacon on a burger? That's meat on meat, right? In Utah, they like to put on meat? It depends what the meat is.

Pastrami on top of a hamburger. So my burger was, pastrami, a fried egg on top of a hamburger. That sounds good. It's not terrible. I like pastrami. Okay. Would you have thought I like pastrami? Yes or no? I would say yes. Because there's a form of a brisket, actually. That's true. Yes, you're a hypocrite.

I like corned beef a lot, actually. Okay. Go down to riggy and biggies and... Oh, yeah, drop 50 bucks on one sandwich. We'll split in a fries. We'll be splitting, don't worry. Let's go to John in West Houston at 1252 on the Matt Thomas show. John, thank you for holding it. Good afternoon. Yo, hey, did you happen to catch the summer months? the debut

Couple flag I did So what you think Of the number one draft pick He was impressive I gotta be honest Didn't shoot particularly well But very athletic

Block shots Hits threes Has got good handles He'll be pretty nice Yeah Myself But you know On Monday

He's gonna say Former Duke For the first you think. There's like five Duke players, right? They all got drafted. So, yeah, he'll be eventually facing his Duke competitors every night. Yeah, well, this guy was his, I believe he was drafted number three this time around.

Is it the Concanap? You're talking about Conquineppel? Is that who it was? Are you calling me from your airplane? I mean, are you on runway 2-9 left? Just like he's like on a permanent delay over there. Thanks for the phone call. Yeah, Con Canipel.

and then the the guy that our caller wanted the rockets to trade for got so mad at me too Malawak who would have been available because the rats of the rockets

drafted at 10 who sent he said they sent to Phoenix was really making the pick for Phoenix yeah so ooh I got another spam call like a tink you're so weird do not air do not air

no because I want to swear to the person use the safe fare words I can't swear words. What would they be? Go ahead, run them through us for it. No, don't do it. Don't do it. Please do that. By the way, Rockets open up there Summer League tonight in

Las Vegas. Do we have a start time on that? Let me take a look here real quick. I think we'll go check out Rockets.com. Okay. Yeah, Summer League starts that they play the Atlanta Hawks at, oh, that's, no, that's preseason. Sorry about that. That was...

Let me take a look here. It's fine. Ross, pump your... At Instagram, at SportsRV, folks. Trying to build up my Instagram. I put a video on there yesterday about the alarming Selfensive line rankings of the Texans. Why is your head so big in that?

You make it smaller? Yeah. Okay. It's a little uncomfortable. It makes you uncomfortable? I can make them smaller. All right. I'm open to feedback.

I'm just making these at home. By the way, they're playing the Clippers game at... My head's in the bottom third. But that's okay. But have you seen yourself on those things? go, that looks normal to you? I mean, I don't know. I can dial it back.

Thank you for the feedback, Matt. Yeah, I didn't listen to word you said. I was looking for five seconds. Okay. Rockets Clippers tonight, it's going to be at 9 o'clock, so you can watch the Astros, and then you can watch the game right after that. Uh-huh.

It's going to be on NBA TV, and it'll also be on Space City Home Network, too. So they play Detroit on Sunday, Atlanta Monday, more than Thursday. God, being in Vegas. Oh, yeah, Tom and downtown's got a good point. Sourcrow, you get it on a Rubin.

Ooh. That's a really good idea. We can go to Lenny and Riggies over there and split a sandwich. We'll take it out a loan. I got a payday until next week. It's a little pricey, but it's fine. It's really good. You can split it.

All my NBA brother and love going there for breakfast in there. Jonathan, when I get back from Rhode Island, you want to go to Renny and Riggies? It's good. It's a New York delicatesson. It's a Houston heritage place, I would say. Now, what if he doesn't like it, though? We're not going to waste a whole sandwich on the guy. That's true.

You should give a bite of ours. You put a sourcrout on the hot dog or the sandwich. Well, you can slough it off. I got to try a sourcrout, though. I got to try it. We get a sourcrown on the side on a Rubin. What is the comp? What is a comp on sourcrown?

I don't even know. Cabbage? I would say, yeah. It's cackled cabbage. Cabbage, maybe? It's pickled fermented vinegory cabbage. Some text. It's like it's German kimchi.

German kimchi. That's my alias. Mr. Kimchi, where are you staying? I'm in room 1443. You're a German kimchi there. All right, hey, we got, oh, thank God, we got an hour left to go. What does that mean? I mean, this show is flown by today.

I would say so. This week has been long. Yonik's center has defeated Novak Djokovic. It is set. The Wimbledon final, the number one and two players in the world. If, Jonathan, you think this week was long, next week with no games until next Friday? Woo!

Can't wait. Guess we get to do next week, ladies and gentlemen? What? It's our one week a year we can do list radio. Love it. Only one week a year alone. We're getting bogus epic on? What about McTaggart?

We give him the week off? No, he's working. Are you kidding me? No Espada. No spotta, no player. But definitely list radio and a lot of it. Okay. All right.

713-212-5-790. 7-1-3-212-5-7-90. We are with you for another hour. We have non-flora stories in 35 minutes, and hell yeah or not, coming up at 12 at 150 right here on Sports Talk 790. Again, a big shout out to all of you that took some time to spend with us at Talia Brewing yesterday. We had a really good time. And if you're looking for the best craft beer you can find in Houston, Texas, it's going to be at craft. It's going to be at Italia Brewing in Sugarland and Imperial Boulevard.

So if you're out in the area, and there's a lot of you that like to go to different parts of town, check it out. There were like 15 different taps available yesterday. I think Ross you tried 13 of them, and I'm probably before it. That's not accurate. I think I did have like nine. That's all right. I'm not judging me judging you on that. That's why you don't remember the guys.

No, there's two flights. The flights are smaller, Jonathan. I don't know what flights were until yesterday. And they're in a pickleball paddle. Paddle, yeah. Which makes, you know, again, it's not beyond. Yeah, you try four. You get four small pours in a flight.

Yeah. Delicious. Yes. And chips and queso were underrated too over there by the way Yeah you were crushing that queso Maddie Was I was not gonna be mowing it down I might want to go on a casso tour Hmm okay

Like the best casso in Houston is blank Like we're going to do barbecue next week Okay We're going to our second stop Ooh it's gonna be good Are you sure expensive too right That's fine we're not paying for it Oh that's right Connor is okay good

You hear that? When our old producers, Jonathan, get real jobs, they take us out of the lunch. Just saying. Prestonets's been set. Hey, if I'm where Carter is there right now, definitely. All right, that's what I like to see. All right. But yeah, if we want to start a queso tour, we could do that too. Okay. How about an enchilada tour?

No good. No, thank you. No tamales. When's the last time you tried an enchilada? It's in the last year. I mean, if you said, look, if Mama Villarreal invited me to your house. No, I'm not even going to let you disrespect. my mom like that.

And she cooked enchiladas. I'd eat them. But I wouldn't, I mean. My sister makes really good enchiladas as well. I just don't like them. I don't like, I don't like the gravy. I don't like the texture. I don't like the brown gravy.

I like it red. I like it red, like, aranchetto sauce, more red sauce. I'm with you. I don't like the chili gravy. Yeah. That's more of a certain type of people. Preference. What would that be called?

713, 212, 5, 790 is. the phone number here. Now we're all inquisitive. On Sports Talk 790. The Matt Thomas Show with Ross with you until 2 o'clock. Can I ask you off air what you're talking about? Probably. Okay, good. Good. 713-212-5-790. Not a whole lot of news headlines to get to today per se.

We do have the Astros opening up a weekend series of the Rangers and Bryce Matthews will wear a jersey number 28. And I'm usually terrible about jersey numbers. Yes. And you asked me who the last 28 was, and I actually got it right. You did. John Singleton. Yeah.

Does this mean he's not being called up? He's got to change his number? That will not preclude him. Okay. But if I was a betting man, I bet John Singleton does come up at some point for the Stroes. Yeah. Left-handed bat. Yes.

Rostorses expand a little bit in September. Uh-huh. Has had major league experience. True. But yeah, it was John Singleton. Before that, it was Astros' legend. Taylor Jones. God, Taylor Jones.

What's your favorite Taylor Jones in Astro? A moment. I don't even remember him at all, hardly. Kobe Rasmus. I'm going to say, who's the best to ever wear 28? Adam Everett? Well, I think of 28, I think a great running back name. Adrian Peterson. Astros' legend Kenny Lofton wore 28. Very short-term Astro.

Oh, it's over. Sayazar Sedanio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, by the way, we're going to tell you this. In the next segment. Fox put out the greatest Astros team. I got beef with this list, by the way. I want to hear your beef. Okay. But yeah, I saw that and I was looking at it.

Okay, I didn't do a deep dive on it, but there's got to be probably one that's got one controversial player on there. So we'll go through the best astrolist of all time in about 15 minutes. 713212-5-790. If you want to join our show, 7-13-212-5-790. James is with us. James, how are you on anything goes Friday? Oh, thank you, General, for accepting my call.

After vinton, I've been vinton, gentlemen, behind the Kevin Durant trade and all that. I mean, I don't understand why Rockets gave up so quickly on their youth and their veterans. Kevin Durant only won two championships with one team, and the team was Golden State with Clay Thompson, Steph Curry, Draymont Green. I mean, hey, Matt, you could have been on a team. You could have won championships with that team. But all the other teams that he played for, he'd come up null and void. He didn't deliver it.

And the same thing that's going to happen with the Rockets. Y'all lobby. And I'm talking about you, Matt. Yeah, Matt. Go ahead. You lobby. You lobby. We need kids.

Evan Durant. He's an all-time score. And as much as you guys put emphasis on age and ability, he's a defensive liability. Oh, let me say something. Y'all got an awesome show. And even though if anything goes Friday, I want to say this here. And I'm going to say this here. Craig Bejillo on the all-time Astro list, the greatest second baseman, in my opinion,

is Joe Morgan and he played two stints with the Astros, the beginning of his career and the latter part of his career. And Al-Tube would be the second best all-time second baseman

in the history of baseball. And it's an A-1 and an A with Al-Tubei and Joe Morgan. I am sorry. I was looking at the list. Let me ask you this here, gentlemen, and then we're going to, I'm going to let you go. Because I know y'all are going to cut me off.

Yeah, please. Nobody, everybody on the Astros, if they won a championship, don't need to be on an all-time list. And I'm just going to leave it at that. So all those players that are not Hall of Famers have won a championship, a World Series championship, shouldn't be on. and we have plenty of Astro players that have won

World Series championships, either on other teams or with Astros. So you're saying, you're saying that Josh Redick is better than Jose Cruz then, using that mentality. Okay. Yes. I'm going to say this here.

I don't, I didn't, I'm going to, I didn't, I'm going to. Mercedes Hill. I don't agree with Calvin Murphy being a Hall of Famer. I don't agree with Earl Camel being a Hall of Famer. Because Hall of, you have to, I don't agree with Warren Moon

being a Hall of Famer. And the same thing go for Craig Bezio and Bagwell. Craig Bezio should not be a Hall of Famer? Or Jeff Bagel. You heard him. Jeff Batwell's not a Hall of Famer. Yeah, because he was an owner's pet.

He, if he was on any other team, if he was on any other team, the team would say, no, we're trying to win. We ain't trying to have a face. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Should Ted Williams, James, should Ted Williams be in the Hall of Fame? He didn't win a championship.

No, it wasn't his fault that he didn't win a championship. Oh, okay. Should Carl Malone be one of the 50 greatest players of all time in the NBA, Carl Malone? Why do you say, Babe Ruth? take Babe, I take Babe Ruth over Ted Williams. Okay. That's great. And Josh Redding, too.

Huh? Why didn't you say Babe Ruth over Ted Williams? Everybody knows Ted Williams. Who's better all time? Euliguriel or, uh, or Ted Williams? Say what now? Uly Gerseriel. I don't know.

See, now you want to do a trap. No, I'm not trapping you. I'm trapping yourself. Here we go. You're trying to trap. No, no. Listen to me. Would you rather have Carl Malone or, let's see, Power Ford at one of an NBA champion?

Chris Bosch. Carl Herrera. Carl Herrera. Oh, say Robert Orrhy. Robert Ory or Caramalone. Who's better all time? I take Robert Ory every day of a week. Robert Ory over Carl Malone.

That's what I'm talking about. These are the great takes I wanted to hear. Hey, James, you like sour. Do you like Sourcrowd, James? I never had experience it. So I can't say I don't like it. And I'll be wrong because if I say I don't like Sousalcroft, I'll be wrong because I never experienced Sourcrowcrow.

All right, one more. I got one more for you. That's fine. I got one more. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. On the Sourcrop issue, on the Sourcrowcrow. On the Sourcrowcress issue, it is, it is. to your culture.

If you wasn't raised up or served it at an age where you had to accept that. So I don't have nothing wrong with solid coffee. Somebody says, if somebody say, whether you were the hell, Solowcroft or. This fired him up. Another option, I would not, I would say, I would take the option that I'm familiar with. Hmm. All right, I got one more.

I got one more cop for you. Damarino or Brad Johnson, better NFL quarterback. See, you're trying to, so, so Brad Johnson won a Super Bowl. Jesse did with the Buccaneers, yes. With the Buccaneers, exactly. And you're trying to say, Dan Marino, you're trying to tell me, no, you're trying to tell me. I put it like this here.

He did play in the Super Bowl. So Dan Marino played in the Super Bowl his rookie year. So I would have to go with Dan Marino They didn't win it No, did it? He didn't, but he got there There was a lot of all these Listen, Bagwell played on 2005

World Series Astro team that got there by Roger Clemens And Andy Petit and Lance Bergman And Bagwell did not play None of the year none of the playoff series

and here he comes forced himself on a roster So say, here's what you say Say Yule Garreal greater than Jeff Bagwell Than hang up Just say that form of the audience right now Say it

Uly Guriel I take Uly Guerriel Over Bagwell Because I got a championship All right There it is You dropped the mic He dropped it

Man that was good fun That all time team we'll discuss after I'll remind you again about Tyler Brewing. You want to hang out this weekend watching some sports. You want to hang out this weekend and join some pit barbecue. You want to hang out and enjoy a flight

on a paddle ball a pickleball packet racket. You go to Talia Brewing. It's not easy listening. And it's not for whims. It's for stations who want their music to be as exciting as their

talk. This is New York fan, created for America's first and best all sports station. WFAN, hard, strong identification for an action-packed format. The sports leader, sport, bam. WFAN. All right, WFAN 66. Yenkees beat the men as three straight times. Unbelievable boony and the boys.

Could you believe the man is we're trying to sweep us? Are we going to get no hit by us? What a bunch of losers. Let's go to the phone. James, good afternoon. You're on 66 WFAN. What's going on? Well, fellas, thank you for taking my call.

Thank you to everyone over there. Listen, Governor, I just had to get on this topic about food because I'm a food connoisseur, and that's my hometown native New York from New York. I'm going to tell you straight up. Sourcrow is overrated. Sourcrow. It's just slightly better than eating a pickle. And now, yeah, it's slightly better than eating a pickle.

But, okay, getting to the point, getting to the point, what I'm saying, it's like, it's like comparing a bagel with a bioli. If you don't want too much bread, you would eat a bioli, because, you know, bialli is kind of soft. It don't go down like putting a big rock in your belly. No matter how you make the thing, whether it's cream cheese, a smidgen or cream cheese, butter, or you eating with locks, like a lot of people try to eat it with locks. And I'm telling you, another thing is, you know, people compare a knockwords to a Brockworth.

I've eaten everything in New York, and I still would go with a Brockwork over a Knockworth. And thank you for taking my call, Governor Thomas and everybody. Thank you very much. Thank you for calling, 6, WFAN. Hi, everybody here. How's it going, guys? All right, thank you for the great content there, James and God Nokes. So we got one that loves it, one that can't stand it, and one that's overrated.

We got a lot of people We got black guys that never had it before That's a problem Yeah, two and two yeah Two black guys that I don't know what the sour crowd is Huh We gotta go to Many and Biggies

Cause that's gonna have so much money though God, I mean if it was more affordable I mean why are these delicate tests It's so expensive Yeah, they're packed nice Got a bigger location right down the street Ricking in the dough It's good food though

Yeah absolutely spectacular I would say of the five or six broadcasters in the NBA that I'm friends with beyond just calling the games and they say let's go eat. They want to go to Benny and Ricky more than any other place. Okay. Huge menu.

Yes? Huge portions. Huge portions. And they're working off of the NBA per diem. Which is good. That's true. I've heard it's good. It's not bad. Not bad at all.

Does every team give the same amount to the Broadcasters? Okay. No, some teams get full player per diem and some do not. Whoa! You don't get full player per diem, do you? 713-212-5-790s. So you reach our show on anything goes Friday. Astros first pitch, 6-7-10.

I'll have the on-deck show at 6 o'clock. Brian McTaggart will join me. It's part of the show today. Oh, man, I can't wait to listen. Well, good. I want you to. Yeah, I can't wait. I will say this, and I don't mean to be braggadocious, but I'm going to be braggadocious.

Josh C., our producer, says that I get more calls on the 10th inning show than any other hosts would get. Oh, well, that's great, Matt. You know why? They come, because I'm an analytical mind when it comes to baseball.

That must be it. You think so? Mm-hmm. Okay. You're just great, Matt. You're the best. You're amazing. Just the best, Matt. Yeah, that's what I need.

Even things out of the way you have harassed me both of you all this week. You're number one. You didn't vote for me from Fantasy 5 last week. I was really pit. off about that.

Are you talking about the songs? Uh-huh. You can't put two Beatles songs in the same lineup. You can and I did and I should have won. By the way, I was thinking about categories

for Fantasy 5. We've done songs with the word love in it, correct? Correct. We haven't done overall love songs. But that's just such a wide genre.

I was thinking about doing this. Could we do a best songs, the word love and you have to choose five different? What are we doing? Rolling Stone songs earlier? We've done, now, who's artists we've done?

We've done... Melton John, Billy Joel and the Beatles. Who else has like 20 mega hits? Did we do... We did Michael Jackson. This is a long time ago. Oh, that was a long time ago. You took like Liberian girl and I lost.

I was very upset. You took something... Girl is mine, wouldn't it made me? You took something that was terrible and I lost. I was very upset. Man the mirror? I mean, that's not terrible. Liberian goes fine.

You know what I'm saying? What's the worst Michael Jackson song? Hmm. Is there a bad one? I was to say, I'm with judge y'all right now. Probably some of the, yeah. I'm talking about, like, not the stuff that it doesn't get played. I'm talking about, like, the worst song.

The worst that's a hit. I'll give you one. I think smooth criminals overrated. Okay. You know what, I'll buy that. I like smooth criminal, though. Annie, are you okay? Are you okay?

Are you okay? Any? Yeah. It's fine. Yeah, it's a very late 80s. Was that on bad? That was, like, 88 or something? Oh, I'll give you one more.

overrated um uh the uh the black is black white is white yeah black or white yeah black or white

overrated that's a jam what it's not great that's a jam that doesn't matter if you black yeah

yeah you don't like racial harmony okay I love racial I love eminy and ivory of course that was Stevie Wonder so that doesn't make a lot of sense

there um oh my gosh man the mirror I think it's my favorite Michael Jackson song. Really? Yeah. That's a jam. Very emotional. Very, very powerful. Very, very emotional. Yeah.

All right. How we got on this? I don't know. We were talking about fantasy fives. Yeah. And how I have the crown. It's going to be impossible. That thing is stuck on your head. That's not true. You won the last one. But I'm talking about generally speaking. You went about 75% of the time. No, I draft better than you. No, I think you have your friends call in. I have no friends. You know that.

That is true. That is true. All right, let's do some. We've got the non-flora stories coming up next. Can't wait. My story this week is from South China. Okay. Is this a verified story or are you getting this off of fake news media? This is coming from, let's take a look here.

It's from the South China Morning Post. I'm assuming that's got to be legit, right? Oh, really? You get it to your doorstep every morning? Yeah. I've read this story multiple times. times today and I believe it's legit. Okay. We've got that for you next.

127. Sal wants talking about the asteros, we'll get to him as well. Non-floor stories plus Sal. That's a great second to last segment of the show, right? We find interesting stories that occur outside the state of Florida

and share them with the people of Houston. It's time for non-flot. Time down for non-floor stories. a weekly Friday event here on the Matt Thomas Show with Ross and all the only rule is your story cannot be involved

with the state of Florida under any circumstance. Gentlemen, I'm going to go to the South China Morning Post on a June 25th story. A 64-year-old man underwent surgery in

Nahuey province to have something removed from his body. Okay. He is getting a toothbrush removed that he swallowed when he was 12 years old. What?

The gentleman's name is Mr. Yang. He had begun to feel a strange sensation in his stomach so he sought medical help. He told doctors he had been too afraid to tell his parents at the time of the incident. He also thought the toothbrush would dissolve on its own, but 52 years later what the nearly seven inch long brush was lodged in his small intestine and doctors worked for 80 minutes to remove it

the doctor who did the procedure said the brush was stuck in the crook of the intestine and hadn't moved for decades so I asked the both of you a question is there anything in your stomach that you think 50 years from now will be removed from your stomach. And will it be seven inches long? What? Ross, will you have something seven inches in your stomach? That's okay.

We're going to say, bitch. It's funny. Ross didn't answer that question. My answer would be no. Yeah, you know what? That's a good point, Matt. He didn't say anything. You just say no.

And that. Sometimes things aren't even worth addressing. It's my non-floor story. This would be one of those times. You sick bastards. I didn't. what it's not my toothbrush I got stuck in my intestine

okay your turn oh you didn't say that Ross where it's time for your not florist story yeah you got to team me up I was read my stories so I could be prepared I just found it 40 seconds ago

hey man let me take you to a place called Goodyear Arizona where a man is in a dispute with what does a man get into dispute with Matt. What is something that really makes you upset or is always hounding you and on your case, perhaps if you're a homeowner?

Oh, you're taking the trash out. Your HOA. Oh, even better. He's got beef with the HOA or the HOA's got beef with him. Apparently, this man had been sitting outside his home for some time handing out free bottles of water to and, Anybody who was a neighbor, somebody passing by. Apparently, there are sidewalks. People come by walking.

And he was just handing them free water. Well, the Canyon Trails, HOA says not so fast, my friend. Uh-oh, can I guess what's going to happen? They've been issuing him citations since last year for having a cooler in his driveway, because apparently that is against HOA rules. Oh, I thought it would be something wasn't going to be in the water. Each time he gets cited by the HOA, they are. are 100, he gets fined $100.

Neighbors are confused about why the HOA continues to cite him and give him fines. Quote, I have no idea why they're coming down on him. I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. He literally just has a free cold water sign on a cooler in his driveway and he continues to get cited by his HOA. And now this man and his HOA are locked in a job. dispute. David Martin. Quote, it's for the kids, it's for delivery drivers, it's for the couple holding hands walking

down the street. This is a terrible story, by the way. H-O-A's are the worst. I hate H-O-A's. I know. You know, I get H-O-A letters about once a month. Really? What do you've been doing? Well, we have our trash cans out by our third, and we have a three-car garage. And they're like, no, you cannot put your trash cans in front of that third car. Wow. So we have, figured out of space inside the garage to put him, but it still pisses me off. They're not that much of an eyesore. I'm sorry, they're just not.

David Martin has started a petition. He's got over 100 signatures to remove three of the HOA board members. That seems very personal there. Special HOA meeting to vote on the removal of the board members is scheduled. Well, it says for Thursday night. That would have been last night. Let me ask. Let me take some.

If you aren't an HOA, Generally speaking, you just want to piss your neighbors off. Who would ever say in my years of retirement, what I want to do? I want to get involved with my church. I want to do some charitable activities. And I want to run an HOA. Come on. And cite a guy for handing out free water.

Seriously. In the Arizona heat. Stupid. There you go, Matt. That's my non-Flority story. I thought you'd love a good HOA dispute. All right. Jonathan?

Slowly. I got you. Here we go, my man. This is one in Pennsylvania from John Boulaye. John Boulay? Oh, yeah, man. The magazine reported that on July 1st, Boulay went to great lengths to skip the line of the security line at the Philadelphia International Airport,

trying to enter Terminal C through an exit line. When he was stopped, he threw a $50 bill at the security guard and asked her if that would get him in. Eventually, Boulaye got away from her and disappeared into the terminal. And onto his flight, which was still at the gate. When officials informed the pilot that the passenger hadn't gone through security, they canceled the flight. And in a turn, he was sentenced to one year probation at $200 fine and had to reimburse American Airlines for the $59,000 it cost to cancel the flight on June 26 of 2024. Because that's what you probably did is. is by doing that you had to interrupt the security,

which means people were missing the flight and delaying things and screwing everything up. I could see that absolutely happening. Wow. He threw 50, I keep laughing at the party. He just throwing $50 to somebody and just hoping, like, it's GTA or something.

Do you think you could buy off a TSA? No. Doesn't seem like it. Now, tomorrow. Everybody's on camera. Now, tomorrow, I'm going to Boston. You are? My daughter and I and my wife are going up to

We're shipping up to Boston. Yeah. 80% of TSA employees are very pleasant people. Mm-hmm. Why do I always... I'm going 90. I'm not. I know.

It's because you're always charting beef. I don't... I intentionally don't ever want to say a word. What I like to do is, I like to see what human behavior is and see how cranky they are. Uh-huh. I feel like I get the crankiest TSA people every single time I fly somewhere. Why is that? And all I want to do is follow the rules.

I'm not trying to circumvent. I'm a TSA pre. They're matching your energy. I have zero energy. I have an energy of I want to get through security. I want to go to my gate. I want to get some pretzels. And I want to get coffee from the Rar Rex at the airport.

I want to pay $9 for. That's all I want to do. Okay. So if you're one of the 20% tomorrow I run into, please, I just want to be pleasant. You want to tell you why? They're always so surly, or a lot of them are. They deal with idiots all day. But I'm not one of them.

They should be nice to me. They don't know that, Matt. They don't know that until you prove them wrong. When I don't speak, and I don't try to put, you know, nine things of shaving cream through the security. Yeah, they have to deal with these people all day, every day. Okay, well, then. At least you don't have to take your shoes off now, but they're always like, shoes off, laptops out. They're like barking at you.

shoes and a separate being. They are. If you have any liquids, pour them out. But don't you know when you're going for that job, you know that you're going to run into idiots? Yeah. When you're in TSA training. When you're in TSA training class, they have to be saying, you have to understand they're going to be idiots. Just like if you work for Schmited.

Yes. And you're at the gate and you've got somebody that doesn't know how to travel. They're asking for a new seat. and there's no seats left. They're going to yell. You know that comes with the territory. You should know. That doesn't mean you have to be happy about it.

Yeah, but don't take it out on those of us that are pleasant, nice people. Ask how your day is. That's me. Mr. Pleasant. 713-212-5-790. Those who are non-flora stories. $50 and they screwed up the, if then got sued for $59,000.

So that's a lot of compensation. No American law. on that flight. Sal's with us on 790. Hi, Sal. Hey, guys. I heard that WFAN jingle. I thought I was going to talk to Mike Francesa for a minute. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're on Staten Island, Sal's. Where you call us from? Listen, you guys are talking about the wave the other day. And the late great Tim McCarver once said, the wave is to sports, what the leisure suit is to fashion. True words, never spoken.

The other thing on the same topic, you know when a guy's visiting team hit a home run and whoever gets it, there's a mob mentality for the guy to throw it back on the field. And do you ever notice as soon as the ball is retrieved that the same mob that was yelling to throw it back, are yelling for the guy in the field to throw it back to them? Well, you know what they're doing now, Sal?

Thank you for the phone call there. I've talked about this for years. They're changing the ball out. They're not getting, they're not getting rid of the hard mark. Yeah. More time, it feels like more and more people are just moving the balls around.

Forget what I said. More and more, they're exchanging one ball for another. Oh, God. Going to break. Just go to break. Wait, real fast, why do y'all hate the wave?

I hate it. Matt hates it in general. I don't, he's asking why you hate the wave. I despise the wave. I just, I think people should be paying attention to the game. When it's like a close game, you're stupid if you do the way.

You're there to watch baseball. Dumb. You're not there to go, here comes a wave, guys. You know what you are? You're a jort wearing. What else are you? You are largely probably unemployed, unscilled. Functioning, alcoholic.

Yeah, you have a mullet. You've got a pack of cigarettes in your t-shirt. Yeah. No good. Stop the wave. End the wave. And especially to me when it happens, it's like a one-run ball game. There's two on.

and then people are trying to do the wave. I'm like, yo, can we watch the baseball game? What's going on here? And by the way, Jonathan, I want you to follow the Twitter account at WaveBusters, H-O-U, if you also believe that I believe that the wave sucks. Believe it or not, it's up next. Hell, you're not, is up next. 146 on Sports Talk 790.

Final segment of the week, we enjoyed spending time with you at Talia Brewing yesterday. We'll try to get out more often. I think we'll make a big city wings run sometime in the month of August. and you never know where else will pop pop up. We're friendly, affable. Ross signed a bunch of autographs yesterday. That was nice. That's some great listeners.

And we look forward to spending more time with you all this summer before things really started to get busy. I had an email or asked me when the rocket schedule is coming out. They're not going to do it any earlier. Probably about the second or third week of August. And a lot of people are trying to figure out this new television situation. If you have streaming services, you're going to get a bunch more games. If you don't have it, you're going to get a few less because TNT is gone.

ESPN is a reduced its schedule. Now, NBC is going to do two games a week on Tuesdays. The NBC affiliate in the city, which obviously is Channel 2, will decide whether they want to carry one game or both games. So you may be missing a Tonight Show if in case the Rockets are happening to be on the West Coast playing Golden State. This is a new time. Lots of games on Peacock, lots of games on Amazon. Prime, and again, ESPN will still, and ABC will still have the NBA Finals. And the TNT inside the NBA show now becomes ESPN's inside the NBA show.

I wrote all that down. I'm ready. You have a quiz about that later. Five minutes left to go on the show. What should we do? We should play America's fastest growing sports radio game show. We simply call it Monday through Thursday, believe it or not. But on Fridays, we call it a hell yeah or not. And here's how it works.

Should call 713-212-5-790. 7-13-212-5-7-90. Today's edition of Hellie Ahran-Nata's all things about the Superman series. Is that correct? Good enough? No. Movies, shows, comics, all of it. Origins.

I'll read your statement. The statement's completely utterly accurate. You'll say this. Hell yeah! If the statement's erroneous, Fullerbunk and made up, you'll say this. Not. Two, Hellyer, Nats in a robot, Superman. When's your prize?

What are we playing for today? Jonathan? We're playing for a pair ticket to see the cyclone. Duck Furze live on July 12th at House of Blues. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com. And of course, we've got the Sports Talk 790 T-shirt. Mike on 790, ready to play, hell yeah or not. Hell yeah.

Superman was described as seven-foot tall in his first appearance in action comics, but was shortened to a more normal 6-3 in subsequent appearances. Hell yeah or not. Hell yeah. No, he was always 6-3. Sorry. He didn't play in the NBA. So you're ready to play a hell yeah or not?

I'm on time and I'm in my prime. Superman is considered the second greatest American superhero as Batman was introduced just four months before. Hell yeah or not? Not. That's right. Superman was first. Statement number two for the win.

Superman was originally conceived as a villain created by a mad scientist similar to Frankenstein's monster. Hell yeah or not? No, not. It's a believe. Leave a kiss. Can you chillic him believe that? Kevin on 790, Kevin, you're ready to play Hell Yeah or not?

Yeah, favorite part of the show is the awkward silence after my phone call about Thelma.
